shadow during the worst time of the shadow, but i think we should start to talk about more of a qualitative of how the shadow cast by the project impacts activities. and also i really would like to have staff start making a recommendation. you go through the great analysis, but then you get to the end of the staff report and there's no recommendation and i personally would like to see some sort of guidance of whether staff supports this, staff doesn't support this, we may disagree, but when you read through the staff report and get to the conclusion, we make no conclusion. how are we supposed to interpret that? >> president buell: thank you, commissioner. all good comments. no other comments, we would entertain a motion. >> so move. >> moved and seconded. >> are we moving there is no

significance? >> correct. >> president buell: that's correct. moved and seconded. all those in favor? thank you very much. >> now on item 9, the open space fund contingency reserve for deferred maintenance. >> good morning, commissioners. item before you is our f.y.17-18 deferred maintenance funding and what it is is discussion and possible actions to approve two things. one, allocation of $1,155,000 from the open space fund contingency reserve, from the deferred maintenance reserve subfund, to fund infrastructure deferred maintenance projects, and 400,000 from the contingency reserve, this time undesignated reserve subfund to fund wildlife proof waste receptacles and

stabilize a build on marina green. as background, in 2010, the commission acted to divide the open space fund contingency reserve into three subfunds. the subfunds are comprised, 50% of the fund balance of the entire fund for deferred maintenance, 25% of the annual to go into contingency reserve, and lastly, a subfund comprised of the other 25%. the fund balances of the subfunds are depicted in a, your attachment a. for the 17-18 deferred maintenance project, the department proposes to undertake a range of water, heat, sewer and air handling repairs that have impacted our building infrastructure and specifically you see the list in the package there, a long variety of boiler

replacements and air handler replacements at a variety of recreation centers and facilities. at the palace of fine arts, we have two sewer lift stations which need upgrades so they stop malfunctioning. golden gate park, a central pump station replacement of pump variable frequency drives, and in support of the 20-21 recycled water project in golden gate park. and lastly, music concourse fountains system needs some repair and upgrade, variable frequency drives as well. on the list there, all of those projects total the $1,155,000 we are requesting from the deferred maintenance contingency reserve. secondly, for the undesignated reserve subfund, we are proposing two distinct infrastructure projects. the first one is the

continuation of the acquisition and installation of wildlife proof waste receptacles. in 2014, i was before you requesting the money from the undesignated reserve subfund to start this replacement of waste receptacles using the two stream, bear saver waste systems you may see in a variety of parks already. the first phase was very successful, and we are now ready to continue that effort with the bear saver two stream receptacles in a variety of other parks. if the $200,000 funding request is approved, this installation of new receptacles would include crocker amazon, mclaren park, golden gate park, india basin and other parks. secondly in the request is the degaussing building on marina green.

1943, and once transferred to the city it has been in a steady state of deterioration since that time. that said, it is the ideal location for the harbor master's office to oversee the operations of both the west harbor and the east harbor. for that, and due to the location and size, the building assessments from the department of public works and a second assessment from a private engineering firm has found that although it is structurally unstable, it can be stabilized, repaired and restored for $200,000 and then at that point it can be successfully repurposed into the internal renovation for the harbor master's office. it's 200,000 for each of these two projects, which totals the 400,000 in our reserve. in our request. back to attachment a, the balances of attachment -- of the three subfunds demonstrate that

there is sufficient money to fund this request. in the fund balances in the deferred maintenance subfund, $1,150,449, and in the undesignated, 1,000,041 # thousand $609. with that, our recommendtation to you is that the two requests from the open space fund contingency reserve be approved. >> president buell: thank you. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners. >> commissioner mazzola: thank you. a couple questions, thanks for your report. so the deferred maintenance subfund, is that something separate than our maintenance department? >> yes. >> commissioner mazzola: it's not impacting our maintenance department whatsoever? >> the structural maintenance yards, their m. and s. funds and labor funding for salaries is

separate from this, this is a request we bring to the commission every year to have additional funds to the m. and s. budget to undertake the infrastructure repairs. >> commissioner mazzola: second question would be, who would be performing this new work? not our maintenance people, this would be contracted out, or -- >> this would be -- who is going to be, how is that going to work? >> combination of both. maintenance yard is prepared with these funds to undertake a number of the boiler replacement projects, and then other like the lift station and a couple others would be handled by the operations project managers, and that would be a bid and contract out. to -- specifically your question, we sit down with the maintenance yard and give them first choice, which ones do you want, and then the ones that they recommend be contracted out, we turn those over to the operations project manager. >> commissioner mazzola: maintenance yard will be

involved in the decision making or offered to do some of this work. >> they have the right of first refusal. >> commissioner mazzola: thanks. >> commissioner anderson: on the degaussing station, is this the first time it has come before the commission for consideration? >> the first time this particular stablization project has come. years ago we were considering the degaussing station to build it out for a restaurant, since that did not come to fruition, we have been looking at it as the harbor master station and that is further along now in analysis, we are discovering that it's going to need of stablization before the construction can undertake to build it out. i can't tell you which one is the chicken and which one was the egg. because a couple years ago at least conceptually it was considered to be stable, and we

have done the engineering am sis and appears it is built on the seawall, the original wood timber piers and they can no longer hold the building the way it is right now. and so we do need to do the stablization first before we can undertake any construction for whatever purpose. >> commissioner anderson: the question i have is there's an understanding that our seawall generally needs attention, so can you fit strengthening or reinforcing the degaussing building in context with the wall as a whole, like -- you know, are we basically kind of band aiding a portion of the wall for this structure while there's a bigger problem that's going to come down the pike? >> we believe that the building itself, you know, on its piers, once engineered and stablized

will be ok. i don't really have the details where the seawall bond to pass and whatever their construction measures would be. i don't think it entails a full tear-down of the seawall, maybe some internal strengthening, which should not impact any structures, but that's conjecture on my point. >> commissioner anderson: yeah, that's my concern, that, would those -- would the two projects be completely separate in any event? would you have to reinforce the degaussing building itself, separate and apart from any seawall repair that might happen down the pike? i'm just concerned about sort of spending money now needlessly when it might be able to dovetail with a future project. i'm not trying to throw a monkey wrench in the works, obviously i would like our harbor master to have a good office, but i'm just kind of thinking about priority here. >> the only thing i would say on

that is that i am not familiar what phasing the seawall is going to take, and whether the harbor will be part of that phase or deal with the ones downtown or other higher priority sections of the seawall first. but sarah, i think you might have some detail on this. >> my understanding is the seawall along the marina is not part of the proposed port bond. it is for areas under their jurisdiction. >> commissioner anderson: well, i just want to put that question mark out here. i wonder about the reasonableness or the sensibility of putting aside that kind of money now when we don't really know what's happening with the seawall. but let me ask another question. i've been in the harbor master's office where it is now, so if that port, if that office ports office to the degaussing station, what happens to the space the harbor master is in now.

>> the current office, since you've been in it. >> tiny. >> very small. very tiny. it has no privacy for meeting with berth holders or anything. and so that would be immediately handed off to the assistant, or the dock attendants, and the main maintenance function for the west and the east harbor will be conducted from. current by borrow space from yacht road, i don't know to say it's abandoned, but unused building from the p.u.c. and they are making noise, they want it back, anyway. so a much better division of labor and use of space to manage the large marina we have down there. and we have looked at whatever the seawall eventual engineering and reconstruction will be, but so far as i said, we don't believe that the seawall is

actually going to be destroyed. it's actually going to be strengthened from within. and if we do not do anything about the degaussing station now, it will continue to deteriorate and will then require eventually demolition. >> commissioner anderson: ok. thank you. that was very helpful. >> commissioner mcdonnell: on the deferred maintenance, probably a future request because what it, what the report doesn't represent is i'm assuming a billion dollars in deferred maintenance and you pull the opportunities to invest the dollars, i completely support but i don't have what that context is, because you chose these and not those, helpful to see those and maybe why context these, if it was purely financial we could squeeze this. i don't know. that would be helpful. >> we are getting there, commissioner. from all of our work and the life cycle project, with i we

have been involved, the third year, and contracted with the firm, called v.f.a., and they are delivering to us a very robust and database that they have inspected, all of our facilities and infrastructure with detailed condition assessments can show us the remaining expected life cycle, where the most critical need is, and we'll be able to rank order with a very comprehensive view what, where the most critical need is. we'll be getting that, we are meeting tomorrow. we'll be getting our first look at what the first phase of the condition assessments are tomorrow. they anticipate having all of their work done later this year, probably in the september, october time frame, to give operations a good look at making a database and grounded determination of where our most

deferred, most critical deferred maintenance is. we don't have that yet, but we are very helpful and very excited to get this coming to us. but in the meantime we have done when we have come before you in past years. maintenance yard in particular have looked at where the most critical repairs are. where the infrastructure components are, beyond repair. air handlers on m.l.k. pool have totally failed. they have the institutional knowledge when they try to fix things that they are beyond fixing. so we have relied on that institutional knowledge to help us get here. and next fiscal year when i come before you, we will have been able to base that on the v.f.a. condition assessment database. >> thank you. >> on that note, denny, seems we are always referring to the massive backlog of

infrastructure repair needs and so on. when that report is done, 1 of 2 things might occur. individual commissioners could be briefed by staff, and get some sense of that, or it could be a presentation to the full commission. >> we are looking forward to that, actually. we actually, one of our goals to provide you with that information. >> thank you, i'm going to ask, sarah, did you want to weigh in? >> to provide some context for commissioner mcdonnell's question, and i'm sure you are aware of this. as reminder, there are multiple ways we address the infrastructure issues, right? this is one smaller pot of funds that frankly there's a match-up between what the maintenance yard identifies as their most significant challenges not funded through whether it's general fund capital, m. and s. budget and it's a matchmaking that's really about the size of the pot of money essentially. as well.

so, there are -- there are, just to reassure you that there are multiple sources that are doing this type of work from, this is one area that denny controls but we absolutely, we can, going forward, include more information on the tradeoff decisions. >> the deferred maintenance is worked off 1 of 2 ways. when we have a full blown capital project, completely resets the baseline. and then secondly is either project management funds or the ongoing work of the structural maintenance department. >> president buell: commissioner low. >> vice president low: i'm dwelling on the degaussing station and hungry for some fish at the woodhouse fish. would the harbor fund be a source of contribution for costs or sharing of costs for, since it's going to be the harbor

master quarters? >> we have looked at that and the marina fund does not have the capacity for this. when we, once we have done the stablization and are ready for the interior design, we will then look for the harbor, the marina fund to perhaps be able to fund that part. because once we are done with the stablization and we have the building ready for internal renovation to compartmentalize it, we will see if we can share through the marina fund. >> will that matter come back to the commission for you? >> interior renovation? >> we can certainly do that. >> i think it's important to do that. commissioner anderson. >> commissioner anderson: thank you for your patience. back to the degaussing station. harbor master office.

did you consider expanding the existing building where the harbor master is now as opposed to taking over the degaussing station? >> we have looked at that, commissioner. it's very limited footprint down there on what we call the mole there at the west harbor, and the difficulty with the existing harbor master station is it just doesn't have the feel -- doesn't have the field of view to -- the east harbor is completely out of sight over there. and so when we look at positioning at the existing degaussing station, they can see the channel, the west harbor, east harbor, monitor all the activity, and attention to the berth holders, they have to drive over to be expected to the master operations.

>> we have a certified e.i.r. for the west harbor project, permits, army corps of engineers and other regulatory agencies that did not contemplate an expansion of the current harbor master's office beyond what it is. however, in that e.i.r., appealed to the board of supervisors and the board was sued over, if you recall, it does contemplate using this as an office. i think the regulatory, in addition to the physical constraints, the regulatory hoops would essentially be a nonstarter. >> thank you, there is the more germane point, thank you. than any of this stuff. >> does contemplate using the degaussing station as an office? >> yes. >> president buell: seeing no other comments. >> moved, seconded. >> commissioner harrison. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? thank you, denny.

>> now on item 10, general public comment. anyone who wishes to make general public comment who did not under item 4? richard. >> i guess entertained by me, i hope i don't bring it down too much. i'm going to make -- the commission over fishing at lake merced. the state of california allows issuance of fishing license to veterans here in california. san francisco does not match of such. they have different stamps that are required and so forth on the fishing license. so, my request would be very simple, and some type of

compensation, no longer a concession, of some people running the place. so, is there any way that veterans could get a chance to cast their lines, catch a few fish, enjoy what we fought for, our country. so myself, disabled veteran, in the china-vietnam time, navy corpman, bang bang, corpman up, that was me. a lot of my shipmates have passed away, agent orange, those things. we are not getting hardly any of the benefits that should be be stowed upon us and i don't think too many of us are interested in -- in this case, myself, i sure would like to cast a few plugs at the east lake and see if i could get some bass. thank you. >> thank you.

>> ok. >> is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment? seeing none, this item is closed. now on item 11, closed session. conference with legal counsel pending litigation. anyone who would like to make public comment on this item? public comment is closed. commissioners, a vote, a motion and a vote to go into closed session, please. >> so moved. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? aye. >> now in closed session. i need to ask all members of the public and staff to leave. >> many questions are raised by this, who are they -- i think we should just have a general discussion in july on what's happening at the palace of fine arts. so, i would like that calendared

for july. second matter was an article on june 1st. it was a public announcement of the 2019 bond, $545 million, and there were several projects that were listed as part of that bond. i think there should have been a discussion before that public announcement, so i would like staff to also give us a status report of how did these numbers come about, what's the status of these projects, particularly trying to avoid some of the mistakes we did with the 2012 bond, where costs were escalating, perhaps we did not have enough money. we went through entitlement battles, let's have a discussion about this $545 million bond, is it one shot for ten years, is it two bonds over ten years, let's have more of a discussion about this now that this is public.

i would like to have that also on the july commission hearing. >> any other commissioners? ok. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 12, new business agenda setting. commissioners. public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 13, communications, discussion only. commissioners? any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 14, adjournment. >> entertain a motion. all in favor? aye, so adjourned. >> thank you, commissioners.

maryour. mayor. a wonderful partner of you are ours the president of the leaders of san francisco, lit lita blonk. >> thank you for being chosen for this award. not a single person goes into the field of education for honor or glory, but it is still extremely well appreciated to have one's commitment and hard work acknowledged. thank you mayor ferrell and hydra and thank you to your families without your support they would not have the fortitude to continue what you do and thank you to the

community because a good teacher or educator can only thrive when supported by their community. you all are receiving educator of the year awards but you deserve much more. i remember my first year as a reading recovery teacher i had a student who was a cute little 6-year-old but he was clinically depressed. he came from a traumatized background and i remember telling my supervisor i don't think i can teach this child to read. she said you are a reading teacher, teach him to read and see what happen. i was able to teach him to read and write and he reached proficiency and somewhere his self-esteem shifted and it was part of him turning the corner. dition to receiving the award that you are receiving, i would like to nominate you all for

psychologist of the year, social worker of the year. [laughter] life coach of the year. [applause] event planner of the year. at vadvocate of the year and the list goes on because any educator knows you are wearing some of those hats all the time and many of those hats all the time. appreciation comes in many form. today it is expressed in kind words and many generous gift. i want to thank the donor to made that possible. there are gift bags and there is beautiful posters and you will see what's in there, some surprise. we also give, we don't have millions of dollars but we do have thousands of members who stand together for your every day of the year and we are proud of that. appreciation can also come through the gift of making sure that you have time to do your

job properly and each of you knows what that means in your own job. i have a particular angle i want to share with you. it also means in this world of 2018 making sure that educators are not spending time giving assessment that is are not useful for their teaching and sharing with you the information that the board of education received recommendations from a joint district family union assessment community which includes i limb natio eliminatie assessment, so brought we forward and that means less teaching and more learning. that is a gift to you of time. i know that is really stretching it, but i had to put it in. [laughter] one last form of appreciation which you are all aware, appreciation can and should mean a living wage, so i'm shameless.

[applause] i'm shameless and determined that educators in the city will have a living wage from here on in and so on june 5 san francisco ha has the opportunito vote yes on prop g. thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the reception.
