they will have security around them. the pieces of art can actually withstand a lot. they have had them in numerous places, so obviously those things can happen. if there is an issue, it will get addressed immediately. >> a little something to add is that the artist will be in residents in san francisco during the display. any damage or vandalism and graffiti will be fixed immediately. the artist will be on hand. >> thank you. >> this will be a terrific exhibit. it will be very moving as well. i moved to approve. >> second. >> moved and seconded. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> we are now on item 14. the capital expenditure plan.

>> good afternoon, commissioners the item before you today is a discussion and possible action to approve and to recommend that the board of supervisors approved the annual capital expenditure plan as required by charter section 1.6, charter section 16 and one '07. the charter language itself provides guidance on what the plan should address, including the plan and the renovation of

capital assets, the acquisition plan, and equity analysis using the equity metrics and was created with the passage of prop b. the proposed capital expenditure plan covers two fiscal years. consistent with the operations plan, presented to the commission in december, and the two year budget cycle. the plan is comprised of three tables, which you have in your package, all the tables were provided and stay include our capital initiatives, our acquisition summary, and all of our capital projects. in summary, we are currently working on 70 active capital projects. with over $380 million, which is

funded mostly through our bonds, summit general fund, and philanthropy and grants. seventeen of those projects are in construction. forty-nine in planning and design. highlighted in packet -- type a of the package, some of the equity related improvements that we are currently embarking upon. it is prior to my presentation today, you approved four projects from the let's play program itself. we had to bring in about 14 million to be able to implement all these projects by 2020. and the southeastern section of

the city, we are commencing on work in india basin, on the remediation and activation also. we continue to maximize active recreation amenities in collaboration with other companies at the shipyard. at treasure island, and at the balboa reservoir. this next slide also shows some of our other initiatives. the san francisco reservoir is one of them, which came before you last year, with detailed design. anticipate that project will go into construction later this year. we are working with our capital and operations staff and developing a project standard. we are working on a new

preventative measure with the operations staff to address some of our needs. we will continue to work on developing our engagement with stakeholders for the next parks bond. we are currently also scoping out our first net zero building in our portfolio. we are also working on ocean beach master plan, we are currently completing detailed designs for a new trail from slope to skyland by 2020. this next slide shows highlights , some of our acquisitions and the past, and the ones we are working right now. as you are aware, we completed projects at 17 and folsom.

we finished saint mary's extension last year, the town square is another one that is currently complete. and design, we have a park. and 900 and us. it is in construction now and that project should be complete by spring of this year. our newest acquisition is in a toma, and has been approved and is currently in the preplanning stage. >> can i interrupt you just for one second, can you bring that forward so everyone can see from the commission, it looks like a

powerful piece of art. >> sure. >> it looks like a threatening piece. >> if you are going to speak, i need you to speak into the microphone. >> hello. sorry we missed the presentation on this item, but it is an image of one of the 86 photographs that will be part of the holocaust memorial exhibition this spring, assuming you had voted to approve it. we thought it would be helpful to see it in person. >> it is very impressive. we are looking forward to it and it was approved unanimously. >> thank you very much. i don't know if the presenters mentioned, but they will also be including local holocaust survivors as well. >> terrific. great. thank you very much. >> i appreciate you going to that effort for us.

>> all right. top that. [laughter] >> you can, go ahead. >> i will try. the next slide shows us and some of our recent openings. the playground is part of the let's play program that opened about two weeks ago. i was speaking to about their accolades. the civic centre is one of our achievements and it is a passion we are deeply proud about. we are actually building community. we are proud of that. the next slide highlight some of our work and some of our equity zones. some of the projects have come before you, we hope that project will be complete in early 2020.

sergeant mccauley mcauley which you just approved, excelsior, coronado, it comes out of some of our efforts through the deferred maintenance. that project is complete. we will be coming to you next month and he will talk. >> this slide shows some of our current projects that are in construction. potrero hill improvements,, also slated to be completed in the spring of 2019. over the past three years, the

department department has dedicated general funds dollars to deferred maintenance and improvements throughout the city we continue to implement projects using the baseline funding for the original control , irrigation paving, boiler replacements as part of our lifecycle, fencing, and a.d.a. general fund dollars have gone to fund resurfacing and repainting of over 30 quarts, including basketball, tennis, volleyball in the past 20 years alone. the completion of our lifecycle condition assessment of our recreation and park assets, later this spring will allow the department to proactively address and prioritize our deferred maintenance obligations and plan for the next bond, including our annual capital

expenditures. we have assessed through that program over 59 million square feet of linear and voter goal assets. this is one of the most important initiatives that we are undertaking in the planning department, and we hope that this will be a legacy database that our successors can build upon. the capital and planning committee just released about two weeks ago a draft of the ten year capital plan, which anticipates it must have a parks and recreation bond of $255 million in 2020, and a 200 million-dollar in 2028.

it is being considered for inclusion for 2019. the draft capital plan will be going before the board of supervisors in march. they have until may 1st to approve it. after which, we believe we will start some level of community engagement. building on the success of the 2008 and 2009 bond process, we believe project selection will be an iterative process with the community, with the commission, and stakeholders. the criteria that we intend to follow will be the condition's assessment, the seismic conditions of the facilities, paying attention to needs and growth areas, and all of our

multi use. the general manager in the capital planning division will provide updates to you. that ends my presentation and i will be able to answer any questions you have. >> is there any public comment on this item? public comment is closed. >> commissioners? >> i just have one question if i may. excuse me. i am just curious if there is any word in the grand scheme of capital planning and how it connects to efforts of the school district to open a school in mission bay, as just one example. how did that come into the evolution of other parts of the city infrastructure? >> can you repeat the piece about mission bay?

>> the district is designed for building a school in mission bay , and i was just curious, that is just one example of city efforts around infrastructure buildout and how that intersects with the capital. >> i do think our planning staff --dash we participated in a couple of citywide agency convening processes. there is a little bit of long-term infrastructure planning that is thought about, and discussed, and then obviously the planning department does its area plans, and participates in the long term planning processes. its primary job is to think through the infrastructure that is needed. the topic comes up from time to time, particularly in mission bay. it is already a pretty robust and mature planning process, but where it comes up is along the southern waterfront, and whether this is another bid or another

recreation centre senior centre. the planning department takes the lead and works our planning staff. they are pretty long-term policy decisions that do touch upon our capital plan is one of the reasons that we made the acquisition and it is one of the reasons that they referenced in being involved with the conversations. there is nothing in that regard on the immediate horizon other than some general discussion about potentially additional infrastructure needed in certain neighborhoods. >> thank you. >> seeing no other questions, the chair would entertain a motion. mr ginsburg? >> i wanted to take a second and think toques and the entire capital planning division for their work on the presentation you saw today. it is almost more work than is possibly conceivable, and i think this is one of the things

that this commission and the department and advocates everywhere should be proud of. we do do an enormous amount of planning. we have been blessed with bonds and public involvement. you can see the thoughtfulness and deliberateness that have gone into our capital program. i am proud of two things. one is the decision that was made when property was on the ballot in the past for us to make a commitment to preserve a certain amount of money every year. we take advantage of a very healthy economic year, and the baseline this year, and now each and every year, we have in excess of $50 million a general fund money to make decisions, to make deferred maintenance decisions that happen every year you are seeing more court resurfacing, new fencing, new pathways, new a.d.a. accessibility work. these are happening every single year, and the second thing is a project life cycle.

it is a work in progress and we are anxious to share with this commission. it is an incredibly powerful tool. those of you have been around in the commission for a while and we are able to inventory every single capital asset that we have and make an assessment of its condition, and expectation about his lifecycle. essentially score it and make it really data-driven. these are just a couple of tools that we have in the toolbox. but mostly, all of the project managers, the planners, it is an extraordinary -- the finance staff, it is an extraordinary capital division and i am very grateful for his leadership. >> thank you to the general manager. would you entertain a motion? >> so moved. all those in favor?

>> aye. >> we are now on hm 15. the geneva car barn contract amendment. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am with the capital division. i am here to present the darling design contract motive for kate --dash modification. a little background, in april 2014, the board of supervisors waived the competitive requirement for design and construction documentation for the powerhouse project. in july 2014, as we entered into the professional services agreement for the amount of approximately $830,000. because of the difficulty and raising sufficient funds to implement the master plan for the development of the project, they moved forward with a two phase approach to developing the building. the phase approach allowed the

city to propose a proposal of a separate set of documentation for the project. in august of 2015, the commission approved a full award to darling under administrated code section 6.73 preconstruction for the phase i project. the commission approved money to the project bringing the contract value to approximately $1.2 million. the commissioner approved an award to darling under admin code 6.734 construction administration services, and approved approximately 360,000 increase for the contract bringing it to 1.3 -- $1.537 million. at this time, the department wishes to amend the contract for additional construction documentation as follows. the first is construction documents for improvements. the department is partnering

with the performing arts workshop to deliver programming on the department's behalf which provided $3.4 million of the project's construction cost. it has been determined that the performing arts workshop needs additional price to deliver these services. they will allow them to have -- the second is construction administration related to additional geotechnical work. it is part of its construction administration work, it has a geotech consultant. the contract amendment would allow them to continue the work as a propose to the micro piles and enlarged 14, utilities and plans, flatware installation. services include site visits that the conditions are consistent with the actual conditions, and two, the geotechnical aspects of construction conform to the

intent of the recommendation in the geotechnical report of the plan. the value of the service is required is $93,636, for the contract only requires an increase of $73,000 given credits received for work but not necessary. this will bring the total contract value to 1.6. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on these items? being none, public comment is closed. >> motion to approve? >> i approve. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. >> we are on recreation and park department budget for fiscal year 2019, and fiscal year 2020, 21, in commissioners, this is discussion only.

>> good afternoon, commissioners i'm the general manager. i am the director of finance. i'm excited to be the closing acts today, although it feels more like the opening act on a sunday morning at the panhandle. i will try and keep it to the goodies. >> just keep the noise down. [laughter] >> last month, as before you, i engage a synopsis of the mirror 's budget and constructions where he asked the department citywide to cut 2% from each of the next two years budgets. as you know, due to the recreation and park department, it is not requiring you to make those cuts a, and we do receive a general fund subsidy of $3 million, and we will continue to support a general fund support for capital and deferred maintenance, as well as we will

continue to look to raising new revenue to support and cover our costs going forward. with prompt be, we are required to cover all of our cost increases. we get $3 million of general fund subsidy. and next year, in the budget, we are looking at a potential two-point 5% increase per salaries, and a potential 6% increase in mandatory benefits. it will probably cover that $3 million subsidy that we get. to give you a sense of the framework, our current year budget is just over $230 million the operating budget is just under $174 million, and our capital budget is just over $57 million. you have -- we have a budget of

947 budgeted and funding positions. our three main sources of funding continue to be the open space fund allocation, general fund subsidy from the city and earned income from our properties and assets. our last source of funds come from annually, various bond funds and bequests. a little bit of detail on the earned income funds, we do receive money for garages, paid parking, recreation program fees , concessions, and citywide rentals, permits and facility rentals, golf and our marine aquatic services. i am happy to report that in the prior year of 17 and 18, we met revenue targets and exceeded

them by several million dollars, and in our current year, several of our revenue line items are looking very positive. there are some weaknesses in some areas that we are looking at and analysing at this point. our hope is that we will continue to increase our revenues in this -- in these areas help support cover our costs going forward. again, looking at the overall budget bike program, for a majority of our funding is in park maintenance and over two thirds which includes costs for gardeners, custodians, urban foresters, integrated pest management, capital projects and planning, and our next biggest pots go to recreation and aquatics and structural maintenance. by account, our $240 million, close to 50% goes toward

staffing and fringe benefits and that makes sense giving that the majority of our services are in our field, whether in it be in the parts of the recreation centres. as we discussed before, our budget is guided by our strategic plan, our operational and capital plans, and our equity metrics looking through the lens of equity, and we will continue to do that going forward. his overbudget solutions, as we know, the $3 million subsidy we are receiving will mostly be spent on salary and fringe. we will be looking at revenue enhancements, both in their program services area, will be looking at how we can maximize our open spaces and allocation, and we will be looking at our property management leases and concessions. in addition, will be looking at

program efficiencies,, utility savings, and conservation. in the area of budget outreach, we will be holding two community meetings. one on january 30th,, one on february 4th, we will have a staff brown bag lunch on february 5th, we will be presenting to the prozac committee, as well as to other advocacy groups as requested. so i will be coming back to you at the operations committee on february 7th with a much more detailed plan as we work through the next several weeks, and i will come back again on february 21st to the full commission for proposing your your review and budgets. i want to take a moment to introduce tiffany wong who is our new budget manager for the department. >> welcome.

>> everyone knows her. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. [please stand by]

>> as -- at least as far as new positions goes, yes. >> thank you. >> commissioner bonilla? >> yes. i had a question about the park safety budget allocation. it seems to me considering the

responsibilities that the department has in terms of keeping our parks well maintained and safe, the percentage -- percentage allocation that you have there, which is only 3% of the budget, is -- is that way under what is really truly required to maintain our -- our park safe, and if so, could you speak to how that budget was realized -- i mean, how that subject was determined and what actually could be done in the future to make it more realistic. >> so the budget is -- >> if needed. >> yeah. so when you look at the budget from that perspective at 3%, or

7 or $8 million, it doesn't look like a lot of money, but when you look at it in context, we have been growing the park ranger division over the past five to ten years. many years ago, i believe there were only about 15 park rangers. we're up to over 40 at this point in time. we're still looking at how we can make the case to continue to increase staffing in that area, up to what we're projecting our need to be of 80 positions. >> 80 positions. >> but it's an incremental process that we go too. there's directives not just from this mayor, but from other mayors, so we need to be strategic. but in addition to just park rangers, there are other areas where our services are, in essence, providing public safety for clean parks, clean

facilities. that's through the work that we're doing with our custodians, facilities management, and gardeners. we're looking at working with a nonprofit at park rest room monitoring. we're also looking at how we activate spaces like civic center, so it's not just going to be park rangers that deter or prevent problems, but just our overall -- how our -- what our overall facility -- concepts that we're putting into place at our facilities. >> so when would we realize that goal of ultimately 80 park rangers and given that, is there a plan in place? >> yeah, there's a plan in place. just in this current year, we put two additional positions in the budget for park rangers. i believe in the year prior, we

took for, b put four, but it's going to be an incremental process. >> okay. >> commissioner mazzola. >> sorry, derek, can you tell why recreation and parks isn't required to do the cut? >> we're a baseline, so we receive a general fund baseline, and part of the proposition stated that unless due to dramatic budgetary problems that would be triggered at a citywide level, the department would not need to make those cuts. >> that was just rec and park only. >> other departments who are baseline departments have similar types -- >> okay. >> similar type departments generally don't submit general fund cut targets. baseline departments do not. i do need to be mindful, while proposition b does provide us

with some budgetary responsibility, it also puts a lot of pressure on us to solve or own problems and fix our -- address our own cost increases, so it's certainly not a windfall. >> that's correct. >> seeing no other questions, i know that was information only, thank you. very informative. >> clerk: okay. we're now on item 18, general public comment continued. is there anyone here who would like to make general public comment that did not comment under item four? okay. being none, this item is closed. we're on item 19, closed session. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner, i need a motion, second, and vote whether to go into closed session. >> so moved. >> second. >> second. >> all those in favor? [voting] >> now in executive session. >> not quite. >> like i said, we're not

>> clerk: okay. we are now reconvening from closed session. so commissioners, we need a motion and a second and a vote whether to report actions in closed session, and i need a second one whether to disclose any and all discussions. >> move to not disclose. >> clerk: okay. second? >> second. >> and seconded. all in favor? [voting] >> so moved. >> clerk: and the second is a motion whether to disclose any and all discussions. >> so moved. >> not to. >> clerk: not to? >> yes. >> second. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? [voting] >> so moved. >> clerk: we are now on item

[voting] >> thank you so much. happy new year.

>> 5, 4, 3, 2 , 1. cut. >> we are here to celebrate the opening of this community garden. a place that used to look a lot darker and today is sun is shining and it's beautiful and it's been completely redone and been a gathering place for this community. >> i have been waiting for this garden for 3 decades. that is not a joke. i live in an apartment building three floors up and i have potted plants and have dreamt the whole time i have lived there to have some ability to build this dirt. >> let me tell you handout you -- how to build a community garden. you start with a really good idea and add community support from echo

media and levis and take management and water and sun and this is what we have. this is great. it's about environment and stewardship. it's also for the -- we implemented several practices in our successes of the site. that is made up of the pockets like wool but they are made of recycled plastic bottles. i don't know how they do it. >> there is acres and acres of parkland throughout golden gate park, but not necessarily through golden community garden. we have it right in the middle of

>> supervisor fewe >> supervisor fewer: our clerk is miss wong, and i would like to thank sfgovtv for broadcasting this meeting. madam clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. let's
