i know we're out of time. the more data, the more we're unlayering the onion. five years ago, the bottom half of the city was red. red, like 60-70% red. and 85% and above is considered under this model to be a well-maintained park. and we have now -- we're getting there. we still have work to do. and you tie that with the equity metrics, where we're able to monitor the level of investment we're making in the underserved has neighborhoods, whether it's bay view, ex-sellsier, and the other neighborhoods that have scored lower. we're going to continue to reap that. your points are extremely well taken, but i think you're actually starting to see the fruit of that strategy long before there was this data.

>> president buell: commissioner harrison. >> commissioner harrison: ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well? >> a park is never punished for a feature that the park doesn't contain. it's only what is at the park that is not maintained. >> you talk about ornamental bed, what is that? >> it's a piece of landscape that has planting. it's not necessarily a box, but it could be. if you look in a different neighborhood playground, center beds might be considered around port smith for example, the beds that align sort of the kearney and stockton around the perimeter of that park. we have a mix of landscapes. we have lawn, we have -- >> so the ornamental bed. >> lawn is different, but where

we're actually planting plants and arranging beds, we consider those ornamental beds. >> using port smith as example, that is a problem. that area. considering that, and then getting to the equity like the commissioner mentioned, i notice in the previous report you had trained -- are they new gardeners or current staffs trained? >> they were trained bay friendly practices, which is heightened level of ecology and sustainable ecology. am i saying that correct? >> were they current staffing? >> yes. >> it's just part of the ongoing training and workforce development. there is a standard called bay friendly practices which focuses on sustainable planting pallets and how to use our existing soil

conditions, our existing water challenges, to maximize the ecology of what we plant and take care of. >> excellent. also, in that, what are the staffing levels like compared to the north side of san francisco and the equity zones? are the staffing levels equal to that? >> commissioner, thank you for the question. the staff is pretty equitably districted. there was -- distributed. there was several issues pointed to. so many of the lower scoring parks are a result of deferred maintenance that has not been accomplished. that drags down the scores. but to your question, our complexes are pretty much equally staffed. what we have done and phil mentioned it before, is that

reorganizing the work down in the bay view, mclaren, crocker, that's where we created the additional complex. and we looked at our supervisory structure and moved two high performing supervisors, reassigned them down there to further motivate and organize the staff. and so -- and all of those decisions were based from last year's report. that drove this. >> i would ask one more staffing change, which is relevant to you, commissioner, we have created a southern complex of apprentices. we're locating apprentices at crocker and in golden gate park and moving them around, but we do use our apprentice workforce in the parks that are lower scoring in an effort to bolster

staffing as well. >> you did mention by reducing the number of areas an individual might have to take care is also an improvement and i congratulate you on all of this, but i'd like to see, i think, it would be important to have more staffing, gardening around and i would hope those with these apprentices would be promoted to full gardener at some point. >> thank you. >> i have one quick question. i found just as one example, the graffiti distribution map to be interesting and wondered do you share the information and try to correlate it with other departments that have tangential issues around the things you're discovering here? >> there is actually a graffiti task force that is city-wide and we definitely participated in it all the time. we have a lot of conversation between the painter shop and sfpd in context of the graffiti task force, so we try to get

more information and get together. >> i guess where i was headed and this is not the time or place to go deep in this, but there has got to be good information here that can be correlated to income distribution and employment levels and all these things and then you look at the issues we're facing, because it seems while it might not be our charge to stop graffiti, it might be interesting to learn about the incentives to create it. with that, i don't see any other commission comments, maybe public comment? >> clerk: any public comment on this item? being none, that is closed. item 12, general public comment.

at this time, members of the public who are not able to address the commission on item 4 may address the commission on items that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the rec and park commission and that do not appear on the agenda. >> welcome city and everybody watching me on tv access, because i created this channel. the history will be told. i'm here to tell and ask this com commission because of the recent article in "examiner" and i'm going to get on the editor of the examiner tt, because it's fake news, opportunity news. it was some kind of conspiracy, because how in the hell -- i hope that's not a bad word, i done said it -- how is the hell the "examiner" supposed to be established paper here in the city is going to let an article get out like that right after the headlining of the legend of ed lee. it was perfectly placed so

people reading about ed lee, they turn the next page, oh, renaming it after justin herman to ed lee. not as long as i'm alive it won't be. and whoever did that is not about the community, it's about a conspiracy. i wouldn't be surprised if silly willy did it. silly willy is just a name i use in my book. see, i'm a writer, therefore i can use character names. i won't use the real name, but you know who i'm talking about, because that's going come out in the series called places, places all part of my cases. over 20 years people say, he ain't even seen a picture i took. if i took another picture, i got enough to fill this whole wall of things going down. you know what is going down? the black population is going down in this town. by the city, by the bay.

hey, i'm saying this because i'm happy, but i should be cussing the hell out the city and the community what they've been doing, but they'd have city hall sheriffs coming out. sometimes i rhyme, it come out naturally, because my name is a-c-e, i have authority in the community, i'm the go-to person for the black news, i'm coming back to city hall, you all, back by popular demand, not because i'm black, but back by popular demand. conversations about racism and all that. before the late ed lee, they were getting ready to line that up, when ed lee got into office in 2011, i got a picture. i had the black media. everybody came but the sun reporter, i wonder why. when i come out here, i'm talking about black, white, all the main pressures in sight. i have to name names and i put a

spin on it and name them the name i think. so let's go back, you read the article. i'm telling you that you all need to tell whoever joined me to tell the examiner tt i need a full page add to rebuttal that. they didn't say anything about black community. second of all, they didn't have no right -- along with the conspiracy. >> president buell: thank you. >> you're welcome. >> clerk: anybody else who would like to make general comment? seeing none, this item is closed. commissioners, item 13, commissioner matters. as a reminder this is to allow commissioners to raise issues that belief the commission should address at future meetings, but there will be no discussion at this time. >> president buell: i see none. >> clerk: any public comment? public comment is closed. item 14. new business ascend setting.

>> president buell: i see none. >> clerk: public comment. >> i would like this sit down with mr. ginz berg to talk about the minnie park in fillmore. i read you donated $300,000 to revitalize, but you don't have to answer, we'll a talk offscreen. i want to know, i want a full report on every park. what is going on, dollar signs. need that by the end of year so i can do the report. my name is ace, i'm on the case. i got a report on all the department heads. she got the same name, because she knows me. and when she was a little girl, she came here, raised in the project. i was born and raised in the projects. so ace is saying, my family we

you know it. it's going to be housing in the cultural center. my name is ace, dammit, you ain't heard so much until i head back to city hall. i ain't going to be here forever. no one can replace ace on the case. see as community, a, s service, and i hooked up with the prize. this is going to be something from my family once i'm gone. from my great granddaughters they might want to pick it up. >> president buell: thank you. >> clerk: communications? public comment? seeing none this item is closed. >> we didn't have the opportunity to hear, as we have

fort last few years, our elf. >> what is going on? >> last month. >> elf came last month. >> i was not here? i missed her. >> you sing for us. ♪ have yourself a merry little christmas ♪ ♪ let your hearts be light ♪ from now on our troubles will be out of sight ♪ have yourself a merry little christmas ♪ ♪ make the yuletide gay ♪ from now on our troubles will be miles away ♪ ♪ here we are as in olden days

learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area. >> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. >> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is nice. no rain. beautiful san

thank you for being here today. i just want to thank all of you for coming and give a special thanks to the va who is here joining us, they're important partners in this project. the owners of the site, there they are. thank you for making this site available and for being partners with the city on this and other sites to help address homelessness. we want to thank the nonprofit providers running the site, everybody from dish, if you can raise your hand. many dish staff are here and providing services on site. everybody from the mayor's office and their staff. thank you very much. this is an important day for -- sorry and dell seymour. i forgot my other boss, the

local chair of the coordinating homeless board along with ralph peyton who couldn't join us today. this is the opening of a new supportive housing site in san francisco to serve chronically homeless veterans, that adds to the 70 units we have, and this is important in mayor lee's desire and hope to get -- i shouldn't say desire and hope, his initiative and order for us to get 1,000 people off the streets during the winter and this is 70 more units of housing to help achieve that goal. we have a few people who are going to give remarks today. first i want to invite beth stokes, the director of community services, beth as many of you know has been long time activist and leader in homelessness and used to be the executive director of hamilton family center that i used to be

the director of back in the day and has done work in southern california and here in san francisco. she is new to her job and we're happy and blessed to have beth stokes here. beth, thank you. (applause) >> thank you jeff. as jeff indicated, i'm new to my position and i'm here to express my gratitude for all of you who have helped us get where we are today. welcome to the auburn, the new home for 70 u.s. veterans. (applause) (cheering) it is truly an exciting day as jeff indicated. we're deeply grateful for mayor breed for being here, we know it's been a challenging time for the city and the city family. so thank you. i want to thank all our partners in the room this morning, there are many. to those who are not with us, to get us where we are. where we are today in addition

to the 70 homes is closer to ending chronic homelessness to veterans in san francisco. we have 11 veterans who have moved in and one moving in today. that's great progress. i wanted to loosely quote something i heard from mayor edwin lee that i heard not long ago that was u.s. veterans fought for our country, they shouldn't have to fight for homes. i was very moved by that and it's something i wanted to share. i wanted to -- acs is proud to be part of the team effort to provide solutions to homelessness in the form of supportive housing and ecs will continue to partner in supportive housing in san francisco. for this project, the master tenant and lead service provider and proud to be part of what is a collaborative effort. with the finish line in sight, in all of our collective efforts

to end chronic homelessness for u.s. veterans and moving closer to a functional zero number is a remarkable accomplishment that requires great partnership and the auburn has many. i would like to begin, you know, the planning actually to thank a variety of people, i wanted to start with mayor edwin lee's former office of hope and acknowledge that effort and how that started. that has been carried forward with great determination by the department of homelessness and supportive housing. i say new but i know it's been over a year and a half. ecs would like to thank the numerous community members that helped to make it happen, many in our city family, our city supervisors for support and great effort, veterans

administration, thank you. we would like to thank the department of housing and urban development. hudd has truly been a partner, particularly with the obama's administration, the efforts of the president's wife and call to action to end veterans homelessness. and we would like to thank our local san francisco housing authority and of course san francisco local home for efforts collaborative. and their work to hold us accountable to get to the zero number. so thank you. and the san francisco association of realtors. in these partnerships new people step forward and step to the table and we're grateful for their efforts and they help us turn a building into a home with their welcome home project so thank you to them. last but not least, ecs would like to thank dish and their

co-directors and their team. the operations of the auburn is a collaborative partnership with dish. and with dish, we're excited to have the opportunity to work with them. this is our first effort in working with them. we're very excited, we thank them for their continued excellence and continued effort to get us where we are today. thank you. our board of directors and the remarkable team at ecs. along with dish who rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to ensure u.s. veterans had keys in their hand before the start of the new year. this includes our director of housing development and asset management and her team. liz is here in the front row. anna cooper, and i would like to thank scott ecker, and others leading the supportive housing team and i want to invite everyone afterwards, we invite

you up stairs to room 302 to look at the accommodations at the auburn. with that, i want to turn it back over. thank you. (applause) >> thank you beth and thank you for acknowledging this is sort of a bitter sweet moment. many of us are mourning the loss of mayor lee but we're grateful and lucky to have the leadership of london breed who is currently our acting mayor and mayor breed has picken up the tradition that mayor lee had of calling me at least once a day -- (laughter) when there's a homeless person on the street and needs help. that gives me great comfort, because like mayor lee, mayor breed is leading our city and has so many things to deal with, i can't even imagine but takes the time every day -- not saying move this person out of here, but hey, i see someone suffering, i see someone

struggling, could you please get your team out to help that person. please join me in welcoming and thanking acting mayor london breed. (applause) >> thank you. thank you jeff so much. i'm so excited about being here today. i was with mayor lee when he made the announcement after our first lady michelle obama basically challenged cities all over the country to end homelessness for our veterans. and mayor lee took that challenge very seriously and has really stepped up and pushed aggressively to make sure we as a city not only end homelessness for our veterans, but we do everything we could to provide the wrap-around services they need to be able to live with dignity. and that's what's so amazing about this incredible place here. 70 homes with supportive

services. i know there's been support for veterans for so many years and mr. simpson, i'm excited to welcome you today to your home. you served our country and we are now here to serve you. it's the least we can do for people who have put their lives on the line time and time again. and i'm just really proud of san francisco for stepping up to the plate and providing the services. over 150 homes already provided for veterans in the city. we are well on our way to making sure that we end homelessness for veterans. but we can't stop there. we have to make sure that we stick to mayor lee's pledge of getting 1,000 homeless people off the street. it's cold outside. just imagine what it's like to have no place to go. just imagine what it's like to have no bathroom to use on a regular basis. the struggle that we see on our

streets are struggles that so many people deal with every day. it's why we have expanded our shelter system and adding 75 new beds to our system so we can accommodate more residents. the creative ways -- we have to provide more creative ways to get more people off the streets and part of what i'm so excited about in the work that jeff is doing and the mayor's office, yes, we have to have shelters, yes, we have to work with different organizations and navigation centers and all the options we have but our goal ultimately is to make sure we find people affordable, stable, permanent housing so they can live in our city in dignity. that is really the end -- (applause) of where we want to get to.

so i'll tell you what i'm really most excited about. our emergency navigation centers, our behavioral health sites, the interfaith council winter shelter, our heading home campaign, which specifically i have worked closely with with park police station. they have done an amazing job in helping us work with people and connecting them with loved ones and returning them home to other places throughout the u.s. we will utilize every resource possible to work with the folks in the streets to make sure they're cared for. just this past week we cut the ribbon on the respite center, people who are out on our streets who are maybe dealing with health related issues, where they go to the hospital and then put back on the street and they can't get healthy, when you think about even our own personal lives and you think about when we get sick, we have

a home to go home to to get better. just imagine if you're living on the streets and you get sick and you can't take care of yourself and you don't have the support and you can't stay in hospital for the extended period of time you need. all of these things, all of these things are going to help make our city a better place for all residents and make the quality of life a better quality of life for all residents and as jeff said, it's not just pushing people from one end of the city to another, it's about trying to find out specifically what is going on with that individual person and what we need to do as a city to wrap around those services to make sure they get the help and support they need which is what people like dell seymour continue to push for every single day. i'm picking up the mantal to continue the work that we know mayor lee cared so much about, and here today is a testament to

all the blood, sweat and tears to get this job done, 70 people's lives will be forever changed because of the project. i want to thank every organization and group that's been a part of it. i have a list because it does take a village. it takes a village. and i want to start with the department of veterans affairs, the department of housing and urban development, the san francisco housing authority, delivering innovation in supportive housing. community services, homes for heros collaborative, brilliant corners and the patels basically working with us to allow this space to be used for this particular purpose. it's been amazing, i know it's been in your family for generations and you both grew up here. this is an amazing testament to

your family to allow us to use this for this particular purpose. it's going to change and save lives. thank you so much everyone. (applause) >> thank you mayor breed. good thing about being the emcee, i get to come back and say what i forgot to say. (laughter) it's not out of a lack of love and gratitude i forgot to thank my own staff from the department of homelessness and supportive housing, margo, randy, emily, chris, thank you for all of the work you did to help make this project happen as well and help the 70 people who will be moving in to the site. we are blessed to have mr. simpson here today, one of the new tenants of the site and i think mayor lee and many others have said it well, people who

have fought for our country shouldn't fight for a place to live. every individual deserves to have a roof over their heads, certainly the people who have served our country so well, he served in conflict in vietnam and we're so happy to have him be part of the auburn community. thank you for joining us today. (applause) >> i'm elden simpson, being around all you great people -- it's good to meet people who put this all together. and i thank you. (applause)

>> thank you very much for being here and for your service to the country and for saying a few words. we appreciate your presence here. i'm going to close it out with the person who will be managing the site and doing the hard work of keeping the building going, denise works for dish and will be here -- her staff will be here 24/7 making sure this facility is a decent, safe quiet place for people to live. she's going to say a few words and then take those interested on a tour. thank you very much. (applause) >> hi everyone. i wanted to welcome everyone here. i did want to say thank you to our fiscal sponsor for being here and supporting us through the project. and i want to thank the ecs collaboration, which is

extremely critical and important and that dish is fiercely committed to ending homelessness and the case managers, desk clerks, janitors, people at the ground level to welcome our veterans home. we have 11 veterans -- we're going to wrap this up, i have a move-in a little later. we'll make it 12. and happy holidays to everyone and thank you for all of your work and collaboration and i am extremely, extremely grateful that the auburn is here. and we're looking forward to having the building leased up by the end of february is our goal. thank you. and whoever wants a tour, we'll be there. thank you.

moment, we have our supervisor malia cohen and mayor london breed here. first, i want to bring up our director to kick us off. (applause) >> thank you very much for being here this morning. this is a really, really important time for me and for all of us. as a child growing up here in hunters point, i actually played on this very spot where we're standing. which is a surprise, that our childcare center is now here. we lived right there in the building right there in the place right here we were playing as children, my sister and i, who is the co-founder and there was a lot of housing in this area here. when we opened up the center and my program director tracy and i was walking through and i was telling the story, she said

gladys it's here, the childcare center. and i was very moved but it couldn't be done without all of you helping and supporting us. i'm not going to be up here long but i really want to quote a saying by myriam wright elder man. children must have at least one person who believes in them, it could be a counsellor, a teacher, a preacher, a friend, it could be you. you never know when a little love, a little support will plant a special seed of hope. one of the things that we work very, very hard to do at frandelja that has now been open 17 years, is plant the succeed of success to ensure that all children have an opportunity to succeed in life, as well as their parents.

again, i thank mayor london breed and supervisor malia cohen for being here this morning. thank you so very much. (applause) we will now hear from our mayor. >> thank you everyone and good morning. it's so excited to be here today. i grew up in the western edition community in public housing there and we were fortunate, the childcare facility i went to as a kid was just right across the street. mary lee would pick me up while my grandmother was working and we had a community, we had a lot of support. we would walk to school together, we grew up together and that's what being a community is about, making sure that our children have these incredible opportunities to start off in childcare to grow

and thrive in our communities. i want to take a moment to acknowledge our mayor, mayor ed lee who constantly was an advocate for making sure we were fulfilling the old promises that we promised decades ago to the residents here in the bayview hunter's point community. this is a promise fulfilled today, it's an opportunity for our young people to grow and thrive. this is an opportunity to make sure that every single child here succeeds and going to preschool is just really the first opportunity any kid gets to grow and learn and thrive. and so i'm excited to be here, 70 slots. 70 slots. childcare -- (applause) childcare just like healthcare

should be a right, not a privilege. every child in our city deserves this incredible opportunity and thank each and every one of you for being a part of this wonderful event, actually this is really cool, this floor is really soft and i'm kind of melting in it. we didn't have that, we had to play on the concrete. these kids are lucky, they have toys and new equipment and great stuff to play with. this is absolutely incredible and i'm so grateful to be here and i'm grateful for the amazing leadership of supervisor cohen who represents this district. she's a hard worker and cares about the community and steadfast, constantly pushing to make sure we're headed in the right direction and i think about ed lee again today, often times supervisor cohen and i would be the main persons going into his office talking about our districts and what we want and fussing a bit about what we want. and the mayor would just tell us, look, i'm going to take care

of it, and he did take care of it. he took care of it and malia cohen has been a fierce advocate for making sure the community is taken care of. ladies and gentlemen, supervisor cohen. (applause) >> thank you. good morning ladies and gentlemen. so today really is a celebration no doubt. but this is truly a combination of all the work that started almost three years ago, frandelja has had a fantastic story that is rooted here in our community, started at gilman at true hope with the vision of a few community members that recognized there was a gap in service right here in the southeast. people should be able to walk their kids to school or drive a few minutes to drop their kids off. so that's when the leadership of frandelja got together. now, years passed and they came to me about three years ago and said we're in jeopardy of losing

this, we need to move and find a site. i don't know if you remember that conversation, it was difficult to have, but it's true, ed lee was at the table and neighborhood and campaiommu partners as well as the developers of this project that assisted us in moving from one location to another so we don't lose any services. but let's be clear, we still need more quality early education opportunities here in our neighborhood just as we see across the city. this is a fantastic day we have come to celebrate this resource we're pouring into our community and the childcare facility that will make it a little bit, just a little bit easier for moms and dads to go to work, knowing that their child has a safe place, not only are they playing, but they're also learning. i think it's property to highlight they're learning basic

fundamental principles that will put them on the pathway of being successful for education and then ultimately a career opportunity and who knows run for supervisor or mayor. we have a good track record right here. (applause) you're looking at two products of the public school system before you, good things do come out of san francisco and working class communities and i think that's a very important message we need to speak out over our little ones. so i'm proud to stand with the women that founded the high quality learning center and you know what's really beautiful is that it started with a vision and tenacity of community members that saw the need and they just took action. they weren't elected officials, they weren't appointed to anything, they felt the urgency and the call to action. they felt that urgency of now. and they stepped up.

i want to give my humble gratitude to sandra and gladys for their leadership. there's many organizations here that help us with the funding of such an endeavor. so we as a city are proud to be part of working together to make sure this facility and others are successful. i want to say congratulations, it's a big victory for all of us here and i hope we can take a few moments in the early parts of 2018 to recognize this and celebrate. congratulations everyone. (applause) >> thank you supervisor cohen. madam mayor breed. i'm looking over to gladys, i believe we have some special guests, i see some amazing little ones over there, a special treat for the mayor here. but first, i think i'm to bring

up miss ariana smith, miss smith is a parent of a child enrolled at frandelja. welcome. >> good morning. >> come on mama smith. don't be nervous. >> i'm not really a speaker but i want to say thank you to frandelja for being accessible to me as a single working parent and you guys have been so helpful making my child feel she's at home. it's been very helpful to me. i thank you for everything. thank you. (applause) >> miss gladys would you like to introduce the special performance or ribbon cutting first? special performance first. as you come up, we have a few elected officials here, our school board president.
