8:01 pm
is a critical and beneficial piece of the project. the tlc is the youth development program for health and wellness and emotional development for under served youth. currently it served elementary children in three rec centers. they are opening a fourth site and hopes for a fifth. when the tennis center re-opens it will serve middle school children that graduated from the elementary sites that show an affinity for continuing tennis instruction. there is a dedicated classroom space and rec room to be used for overflow for the tlc. the rec room can be used to accommodate alternate activities. it will normally house two ping-pong tables during the day
8:02 pm
with a storage closet so they can be tucked away. here is the garden area south of the building a place to eat lunch and outdoor teaching space, place for events and place to watch tennis. a small theater with movable tables and benches. a public art wall forms the south of building and faces the garden. we are working to select the artists and artwork they will post their proposals for public comment. the total project budget is $26.3 million. it was out of a three way partnership tennis coalition of san francisco, san francisco parks alliance and rpd. the tennis coalition are the main drivers of the project envision and funding and community process. they have taken $23.3 million

8:04 pm
unusual circumstances that would disqualify under seqa. they noted it was to comply with all local, state and felderral laws regarding birds, bats and wildlife including migratory birds act and california endangered species act. it ensures it would not substantially affect the biological resources. they are following the green building code which states exterior and interior lighting must conform to zero beam. light poles were low profile and pointing downward. we are evaluating options for timers and lighting courts individually to minimize night lighting. building façade treatments utilize a fitted glass in san
8:05 pm
francisco standards for bird safe buildings. they will begin construction documents. we hope to reopen in 2020 in time for the 150th anniversary. the outreach was conducted in 2016-2018 with the goal of understanding the community desires and ensure they are in the concept plan. the team first began to reach out to key stakeholders, neighbors, high school coaches and users and staff. the first official community meeting was march 2016 attended by approximately 100 people. at this meeting they worked to identify the community vision and goals and priorities. the next meeting was attended by 150 people in november. there was an open house attended by 50 to describe the project
8:06 pm
progress. in january of 2018, the final community meeting was held to an audience of approximately 200 people where they produced the final concept for review and approval. it is in the 3-d model. additional outreach has included movie nights that included presentations on the tennis center and focus group leaders. after this extensive outreach the proposed plan obtained approval from the community stakeholders and attendees which you can see from the list of 188 supporters and 22 organizations in attachment b of the staff report. i would like to close by sincerely thanking the san francisco parks alliance for their partnership. it is with the leadership,
8:07 pm
vision, energy and generosity and dedication we are able to realize the tennis center to the full potential. we are excited to move forward and i am happy to answer any questions you might have. >> thank you. would you like to go to public comment? >> yes. public comment. i will read names again. martha, julie, peg, paula, kay, lois ann and trish to start with. go ahead. >> i want to stress that we are very proud of the design and feel it is going to meet the needs of many different groups at the facility and we hope you support it. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> .
8:08 pm
>> i am a member of the tennis club, the u.s. ta, and i think the project looks wonderful. i can't imagine that we haven't turned over every stone and tried to answer and accommodate as many people as possible. i am looking forward to having this new facility, and i hope you also appreciate the vision and the effort that has gone into it. thank you. >> next speaker. then i have david, kevin, donna, larry, steve, catherine, and mare mary ann. >> i grew up playing tennis at the park when i was 7 back in 1973. my family and my sister and dad started us out in tennis. golden gate park is where i grew
8:09 pm
up. people said where did you grow up? golden gate tennis park. it raised 20 or 30 of us young players that were toply ranked in northern california. people wanted to come and play at golden gate park. that is where the talent was. seeing the new plans and program, it looks amazing. we had no problem playing there as kids, you know, it was the 1971970s and 1980s. the plaques and player wall is important. my name is on that plaque. i have played against rosemary's father would watch and train us. we have had many players through there, peanut louie. so many families. i was city champion for three years in a row for high school,
8:10 pm
youngest to reach the finals. i won the junior tournaments. my history there at the park, it gives us a place to go and we are family. i think you should continue to keep that for the bay area. we are losing so much of that. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i am back. trish robins. active with the board of the tennis coalition since 2012. the renovation of the golden gate park tennis center was discussed at that time and the architectural drawings were drawn up by larry dodge. in 2016 there was the operational gift and we became a professional board and were able to organization and partner with
8:11 pm
the san francisco recreation and parks commission and the parks alliance to bring clarity to a tennis center to serve people of all ages and abilities. with the unflagging support of usga and tennis organizations we began the process of fund-raising, considerable amount of money for the campaign. also, more importantly, to reach out to to community we wish to serve. some of wary of the proposed changes. we have listened closely to their concerns. the court cannot be re-surfaced again. drainage problems and lack of infrastructure and outdated clubhouse might mean no one plays there if we do not restore the center. private and public teamwork has brought in gifts and pledges. 80% of the $26.3 million required for this project.
8:12 pm
we are taking responsibility to make sure one of the san francisco most beautiful open spaces remains vibrant for generations to come. i thank you for listening and for considering giving us the go ahead to complete our mission. >> next speaker. >> we have seen the presentation of what the tennis courts will look like. i would just hope you give us the okay to go ahead and continue this project and start to plan it, build it, and have it operating within a year or two. thank you. >> next speaker. >> then again i will call a few names. steve, catherine, mary ann and
8:13 pm
darlin'da and joan. >> kevin fry, teaching pro. it looks great especially for the tlc center. i love teaching kids, and i think this will be awesome to have that place for them, to have that space for them that they will have opportunities beyond what they learn in tennis. they will get life lessons and network with people that can take them beyond tennis. that is where i grew up playing tennis not at golden gate park but in networks throughout the city and that is where i found friends who were born to places like university of california at berkeley, their parents. that is why i went to their school. i hope those kids can have that opportunity at that wonderful facility. i hope you guys go ahead and vote it in. thank you. >> next speaker, please.
8:14 pm
>> i am the executive director for the tennis association of northern california. on behalf of myself and my board we support this project 110,000% and beyond. i can't tell you in my 40 years of being in the tennis community i have been executive director for 11 years i have never seen this type of collaboration in northern or in southern california. this is an unbelievable collaboration between both city, the coalition and other entities to come to this point. the facility will be an icon. not only in the state of california, but all of the united states. there won't be a facility like this anywhere. that is something the city of
8:15 pm
san francisco should be very proud of. the tennis and learning center is very important. before i was executive director was was national tennis director. to have a space for these young individuals to be able to continue education and have an opportunity to learn tennis is extremely important. as we have seen for many times, unfortunately, in days in our society having a safe haven for the kids could not be more important at this time than it has ever been. this is part. the reason for the extension and having the lightings, i can tell you i am from chico, california, we built a court and added lights. 40% increase in play by adding lights. this is extremely important. i thank you all very much and i look forward to the approval of this project. thank you. >> i will call the names.
8:16 pm
if i call your name come up to get ready to speak. catherine, mary ann, joan, alicia, elizabeth and hans. >> i am a pickle ball player and tennis player. more than addicted i can't brag i played for 70 years at golden gate park. i play at least two times a week, maybe five or twice a day. i am a supporter of the plan. the people who put it together i am in awe of their work. we are lucky to have you. i would appreciate your support as soon as possible. i am willing to give up all of that time, those 18 months that it will take to do this will be a big sacrifice for many of us. it is an investment in the next 30 years that i plan to play
8:17 pm
tennis and investment in our children. thank you. >> . >> catherine howard. sierra club. we are submitting a letter with children concerns about the lighting. the environmental conditions were not presented in the public meetings i attended. i am happy to see them. you may see duplication in our recommendations. we recommend that the center minimize the lighting impact on the surrounding parkland and wildlife. scientific studies demonstrate night lighting has negative impacts on birds and wildlife. it will save energy and costs and result in greenhouse gas emissions.
8:18 pm
all fixtures should be dark sky compatible, fully shield would no lighter than necessary. lighting would only be turned on when needed. that should be easy to light just one section if the rest are empty they should not be lighted. when people leave the courts there can be vacancy sensors to turn off the lights. the glass building should have the lighting off at night and should have motion sensors or be turned off at night. we live in an era where over lighting at night is harm full to not only wildlife but people. the loss of the night sky, something our children will miss. we hope you will support implementation of our guidelines. thank you. here are two lidters. >> next speaker please.
8:19 pm
>> i ani am linda. i echo the statements of support. i am about safety in tennis. i decided to do a little light research thanks to google for cost issues for repairs of public tennis courts. most were due to years of sketchy maintenance and the cities were faced with how do we fund these repairs now? this is what i really like. i truly respect about this project. the preparation that has gone into it, the department of the preparation, careful listening to produce eventual longevity of the golden gate park tennis center. they will have a skilled operator responsible in their
8:20 pm
contract. i love that. for the maintenance of the tennis courts. there wil will be a mandatory maintenance fund the operator has to pay into each year so that daily and cyclical repairs can be made quickly and not postponed. this can be be overlooked. it is a significant benefit, not only to the users of all ages for safety but to the city. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am joan to lend my support to the renovation to tennis courts and to support the tennis learning center. i have played on on the city public ports for 44 years from league matches to the san francisco tennis tournament which i won in the 1990s with
8:21 pm
my doubles partner, and i have also played now, i play weekday mornings with senior friends who are retired. most of them have been long-time residents of the city. i am excited about the safer courts in the condition of the courts and the secure access with the single point of access with addition of lights, the courts will be playable on weekday evenings creating much more playing time for those who have to work during the day, and also league matches will be able to play in the evening rather than just weekends freeing the courts for recreational play. i encourage you to approve this and i thank you. i am happy to be part of this civic process and thank you again for your service. >> thank you. >> i will read the rest of the
8:22 pm
cards. emily, katy, david and chany. >> i am alicia chew. i am a golden gate park volunteer. as a senior i look forward to playing pickle ball three to four times each week. i socialize and exercise with a multigenerational multi-ethnic group of pickle ball enthusiasts. national and international visitors stopped by to hear the punk of the whiffle ball. we invite you in, introduce the game, take pictures and e-mail it back to them. this become was a vacation postcard playing pickleball with us in golden gate park. that is why it is so important this renovation plan goes forward with your approval. we can continue to extend goodwill to our global visitors
8:23 pm
like valentine from australia, south africa, german, italy, united kingdom and hong kong. of course, larry and connie, from prescott valley, arizona. norman and his wife from nebraska. fourth this pickle ball makes me happy. my husband can attest to that. as one of our seniors say, i play and i giggle. i want to thank you and the tennis office for helping us grow pickle ball and special thanks to the tennis coalition for welcoming pickle ball in the renovation plan even though we are late to the table. anything to help promote and grow pickle ball is all right with me. i invite each and every one of
8:24 pm
you to join us. we are friendly bunch and we have cookies. >> next speaker, please. >> i am a former general manager oraumemanuelger and i -- gen-- general manager. i am here because i think what you have is an extraordinary partnership. what you have done over many decades i know from personal experience is build public private partnerships that have balanced incredibly well. the various constituencies that need taken into account when you do the projects, whether it is labor, community, participants
8:25 pm
passionate about this game, the needs of the construction community or whether the needs of the city government itself. i think this project smells just right. it has all of th the constituens for success. i have been at public and private partnerships most of my life. i am probably the only person who will speak who does not play tennis. i can tell you i know what a public private partnership looks like, when private investment and private passion is brought forward to create a great public facility. that is what you have before you today. i wish you great luck on this wonderful project. >> thank you. mr. of the general manager goldstein we are where we are today because of the hard work and foundation that you set during your term as general
8:26 pm
manager. it is an honor to succeed your work and carry it forward. thank you. >> next speaker. >> i am hans carter, a member of the leadership group of the pickle ball community. we support this project. we would love to see this facility multi-use, and that we have been included in terms of getting some input from us to see that it has one dedicated pickle ball court plus eight pickle ball courts permanently lined is great because it is good to play in golden gate park. i have been playing there for about a year. i have played in other facilities throughout the city, but really, the best place to play is in the park itself. we are a group of about 200 on our mailing list. we recently took a survey.
8:27 pm
three-quarters of our players are seniors. 55 and older, and half are female. pickle ball is also the fastest growing sport in the nation according to the sports and fitness industry association. growing at 12% per year. definitely as the population ages and more people realize that it is duff on your bod -- tough on your body to play tennis they will migrate to pickle ball. the one concern we have is that the operator will control the hours and access to the pickle ball availability, and we do hope that that won't become an issue relative to the availability to the community at-large. thank you. >> next speaker.
8:28 pm
>> i am emily senior designer on the project. it has been an honor to have the opportunity to work on a project within golden gate park, a place as san francisco we all treasure. we worked diligently to respect the character and the history of the site and will serve and reflect the passionate and diverse members of the tennis community now and well to the future. as we mentioned tennis has been play order the site since 1894. i believe the clubhouse dates from the 1950s. we are trying to create a facility to serve the community 70 years from now. the community driven process is something we take seriously and we value. we have worked closely with the recand park, the parks alliance
8:29 pm
to create a world class public tennis facility to build the tennis community. i admire the dedication on part of this coalition to synthesize community input. it has made it better for it. we met with the tennis learning center members to make sure that that program is going to be served with our classrooms and offices it will be flexible enough to serve them as the program evolves. we have heard from tennis players and pickle ball players to make sure they have viewing areas to serve them. we have met with accomplished tennis players. we thought about bird friendly design included the class to the east, north and west. it is one of the recommended guidelines of the bird friendly
8:30 pm
guide lanes looking at lighting that is downward facing and as low as possible. we reviewed the plans. by integrating the needs and desires we hope it is a facility to reflect and such port the tennis -- support the tennis community. >> next speaker. >> hello, commissioners, i am david brenter. i am here. our mission is to preserve and enhance public recreation in san francisco. i believe earlier today you heard grants submitted for the playground improvement. we have been able to participate in that, and partner with the department in re-surfacing tennis courts city wide, and are funding oreck creational improvements in the city as well.
8:31 pm
we support the project. we support it locally as well as monetarily. we have a particular interest in the tennis learning center, which is an exciting opportunity for the city to combine academics and tennis learning for children from neighborhoods that don't have access to this. we are strong supporters of that as well as the tennis facility itself. i encourage you to approve it. i think it will be a spectacular addition to san francisco. thank you. >> we have channing and if we have called your name, come up if you want to speak. if i haven't called your name, i have gone through all of cards. if you want to speak come up and be prepared to speak. >> i am katie strange with the
8:32 pm
san francisco parks alliance. we are extremely part to be a partner on this project of the department as well as the tennis coalition inspired by the extensive efforts to hear the various voices we can see today that will be served by this space. in particular, the tlc tennis learning center is an important aspect for the future of recreation and tennis in our city. as you know it is a historic moment for tennis, for the park, for the city and inspiration alley this design matches that parks system we are creating. i will be second to admit i am not a tennis player. after this process and designs i am excited to become one. >> next speaker, please.
8:33 pm
>> good afternoon, commissioners. thanks for giving me a few moments of your time today. i am matt hope. on behalf of myself and our organization we support this project 120,000%. as someone deeply embedded in the tennis community, i am always supporting efforts to grow the game. while golden gate park has been great competitive cross down arrivals we have been partners in growing the game. our nonprofit arm the olympic club foundation supported the project and have supported numerous projects for renovations of tennis facilities around the bay area. this will be a win-win for the city and the sport providing much needed improvement to a landmark tennis facility on the
8:34 pm
west coast. safety has been a measure issue as well as promoting the enjoyment of the game. there is 26 million or a few more reasons why this is a great project. it showcases the amazing golden gate park and will spur other projects through private and public funding to make the city a permanent destination for families and individuals. from my experience you grew up in marin. i used to play in the park several days a week. it was a mecca with a history of tennis greats. now it is spread out due to lack of real estate. golden gate park would attract a lot of talent to san francisco in a public setting. i can't advocate enough and i
8:35 pm
thank the city for support and promotion. i would like to thank the tennis coalition for the hard work and tire let efforts over the years to get this to where it is today. >> next speaker, please. >> julie exly. in my earlier rushings i touched upon -- remarks i touched about the outreach efforts and how the concerns are in the design you saw today. we have held focus group meetings, meetings for senior players and hosted public events including free youth days. we have published 20 newsletters and are updating information about golden gate park tennis. we presented the project and
8:36 pm
have been open and transparent about progress and process. some of the changes and modifications are a direct result of community feedback. they include reservation system, evening lights, small pro shop, a place for pink pong and pickle ball. a large entry point, free day lockers, safer spacing between ththe courts and widening the viewing areas. what we are excited to work on are the interior exhibit walls which cover the history and players. we will look for a lot of community input here. stories, photos and videos. in addition to the local community efforts we are doing research with other centers to understand how to manage an affordable public facility and balance the user needs.
8:37 pm
ensuring the high-quality daily operations have been our goal from the start. we feel strongly having a seasoned manager will deliver that. an important part of the public is the maintenance fund to ensure repairs are made quickly and longer term needs for replacement are covered. it is frustrating to wait weeks for new nets. we look forward to community input in the tennis advisory council. >> next speaker? anyone else to make public comment. go ahead. >> i am chany hill the program coordinator for the tennis and learning center. i have been here since we started in 2014 in which i grew up playing basketball since 2000. this program has not only
8:38 pm
changed the lives of students and families but also mine. i have a daughter who is three and a tennis player. i am hopes for her to become the next williams. i did not think this program would around she would not have a clue about tennis just because her parents come from the basketball world. growing up in the by bay view tennis was not introduced to me. it is a blessing i can introduce tennis to those who came from the same disadvantages i did. it also helps the students with academic needs. the staff and director spend time in classrooms of the students who are struggling. lastly i would like to acknowledge my team of directors
8:39 pm
who have spent long hours and days working hand in hand with the families to ensure how tlc will make a difference in the student's lives. i would love for you to think of students and families who are getting help from this program. i saw a lot of lives change. my has as well anytime i talk about tlc i get emotional. it is a big part. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> co-chair of the tennis coalition. i want you to have a feel for what a dramatic transformation this will make in the ability to build community. i play two or three times a week in golden gate partly cloudy. it is play and go. there is one picnic table now. there is no center of graft when
8:40 pm
he -- cente sen-- center of gra. this will transform it. we will have a lounge for people to enjoy, viewing terraces on the other side of the beautiful glass wall, a garden, a court that will be like a big win do to the entire facility. people can hang out and enjoy the game that is not most competitive or it might be parents watching the kids in high school championship or nationally competitive event. all of that plus all of the spaces in between where we as teammates can watch our teams finish the match to see who wins the final tie breaker and get to go to sectionals. this is all so important to the tennis playing community. nothing is more important than
8:41 pm
the tennis and learning center that is a community for middle schoolers. they will have a community there and we expect it to be a very community within a community where the adult tennis playing folks will have a chance to contribute to the growth of those young people as well as to the growth and the joy of the sport in golden gate park. thank you. >> one last time. anyone else to make public comment on this item? seeing none. public comment is closed. >> the general manager. >> commissioners please pass this project. >> what? what? i mean public comment is all.
8:42 pm
maybe not as many decades as general manager goldstein. this is as healthy and inclusive really expanding our community. i mean combining different constituencies and social and physical need and opportunity at the site and the work, the level and quality of the work and partnership has been extraordinary. thank you. >> commissioner mazzola. >> i agree with general manager ginsburg. this is a great project. i read the details and heard the public testimony today. it is way overdue. i have been out to those courts since i was a kid. they are old. this plan, i think, fits perfectly. i would love to have 100 courts. we have the footprint that we are in. the design was well thought out.
8:43 pm
i am a proponent and supporter of it. i have one question for staff on the -- when we pick an operator, will the staff be talking to the operator about the issues that the seniors raised? i don't want them pushed out. i want to make sure that the concerns they raise are taken care of. >> the rfp which was heard, i believe in places or capital is on this agenda requires operators submit a proposed court schedule and annual operating plan approved by the department. the operator has to meet with the community and the department quarterly and monthly during the begin of the operation. there is going to be a lot of input. the operators motivated for people to feel good at the center. the operator is absolutely
8:44 pm
critical to the project because we want to have play from very early in the morning to the evening seven days each week. we do want, you know, this hub of community and activity and program, and we need folks experienced in this business and in running tennis centers to be air-traffic control to make sure the needs are met. we think the operator makes it more likely that everybody feels satisfied and gets what they need out of the center, not less likely. >> stay on the subject matter of the operator can you comment on the ratings that will be charged? >> if you want to talk about it. there haven't been concern about fees or rates. the raters will propose guidance in the rfp.
8:45 pm
they will be booked. there was discussion of length of time. they can book in 30, 60 or 90 minute increments. we don't have a system now. we do this in a little notebook. as you have heard yo you have gt recreational uses, competitive uses, colelastic uses, educational uses focused on young people that are focused on seniors and focused on other communities who play tennis more competitively. all of this the operator is to manage all of this. one thing about these it is all designed to keep the center sustainable. the master plan talks about that fees are always contemplated there should be some fees at the site and they are to stay in the
8:46 pm
center to make sure we are doing the maintenance so we are not back here talking about the need to renovate the center. >> commissioner bonilla. >> when i moved to san francisco and attended the university of san francisco, i was really happy to be able to go to the tennis courts. and to relieve a little stress and so on and play some tennis. this is quite some time ago. i always carried my wilson t2000 metal racket to my classes because i thought i would get a chance to play a little tennis afterwards, and it was always hit and miss. of course, there
8:47 pm
wasn't anytime in the evenings to play for me because i was studying, but i remember back that during that time that the courts were not in good condition. i mean actually they were in poor condition, and it didn't matter to me. the fact that i could have some exercise was great. i later developed tennis elbow. i think it was playing golf that i developed the tennis elbow, you know, i put the racket away. i have it in the basement because i had fond memories of going to the university, playing tennis, participating in a lot of exciting things in the city.
8:48 pm
to make a long story short, i think i agree with commissioner mazzola this project is long overdue and i am really looking forward to seeing a lot of diverse communities especially the seniors enjoying tennis and pickle ball. actually i didn't know anything about that, and i am thinking maybe that is something i can do now. i am very, very -- as a tennis enthusiast, i am very supportive of the project. >> before we go to a motion. one more question to the general manager to address the reduction in courts affect on usage and availability of other public courts that might be in the area
8:49 pm
during peak usage. >> we can tag team about this. at the end of the day this is the 20,000 more hours of play under this model. you know, that speaks for itself. we are in the middle of a tennis renaissance here. i want to thank those in san francisco and everybody who voted for proposition b and the olympic club foundation, and the tennis coalition is a huge advocate of this. this is the hub, the center. somebody said this might be one of the most iconic public facilities in the nation, which is extraordinary. it doesn't mean we are not giving up on neighborhood tennis. we have 169 tennis courts and we are re-surfacing them in a continuous process. all courts are free. it is a different model, it is
8:50 pm
drop in, more recreational. some are lit and some are not. we anticipate being able to accomplish what we hoped for, which is to allow for growth in this sport after a period of decline. we are trying to introduce new kids and communities as channing spoke to this sport. it is one of the most accessible sports you can play. anybody can pick up a racket and walk on the court. when we talk about equity in all of the neighborhoods, this is paequitable sport. we need to introduce it to more people. commissioners is there a motion? >> so moved and seconded. >> will the secretary do a roll call vote. (roll call)
8:51 pm
>> i want to comment on the player's wall. i like that idea. especially i want to acknowledgepine naught louie and the louie kids. they dominated tennis when i was growing up and the dad seafood louie run mr. louie's great acknowledgment to the louie family that is a resounding yes. >> it passes unanimously. >> we do have nor items. we are on item nine. general public comment. is there anyone who did not comment under item four that would like to make comment on item number nine?
