projects. you can see about 85% is spent and the rest is encumbered. next slide. next slide. thank you. great yeah so this next slide as i said, 14 are open to the public. the only are open to the public. any slightly delayed because of covid, but we're on track to finish by mid july, august. next slide. on the program. projects are open to the

public. six projects are in construction or design. golden gate heights. we just scheduled to open it in about 30, 40 days. this summer and then richmond and then this is the slide of our community 20 of these projects are open to the public. highlights of the project include the golden gate tennis center which opened in mid march which we are working with the provider for that site.

most of this project is increase design also. next slide. complete. all 65 projects are complete. on an average, i just want to let you know. we're proud to say we've been able to the oak woodlands is complete mclaren park trails

and ggp middle lake is ongoing. the next series of slides they're just some of the before and after pictures. this is from our let's play program and this was open earlier a couple months ago next slide garfield square is one of our neighborhood park projects. if you have not seen this, i suggest you take some time to come over and take a look at it it's a truly transformative space. i'm proud to say we are sort of renovated out of the nine pool.

the last one will be rossy pool. as you can see some before and after pictures. brute. site. next slide. quick review and sort of looking ahead we're going to be completed rossi pool this summer we're going to be wrapping up our programs. we are embarking already on the prop a2020 health recovery bond. these projects include cannon ball most of these projects are

in advanced stages of design. so we're happy to say that and then also building upon the successes of the last two bonds, we're going to be building on that programs bond which includes the community projects next slides. i will now turn it over. >> thanks. good morning committee members. my name is shannon karen and i lead the project management group at the port of san francisco so i'll be reporting on the water parks slide of the 2008 and 2012 bond. all water park projects are complete. the last one was crane cove park and there's a photo of it here on the slide.

this opened in september 2020 and i was able to visit the fabulous site two of which are complete. that is the cruise terminal plaza and crane park that i just mentioned i'm going to ask to go on the next slide. on this slide, you can just see the schedule while i'm talking about them. so it's going to be with the forry mission ferry landing project in 2022. we've had delays due to both covid and funding issues. we have a few other parks in

construction, so crane cove park was very large. one is 19th and georgia street which is currently under construction and should finish this summer. the other is building 49 and located in a park and we expect construction on that to come this summer and finish into 2021. we expect that to be complete in fall of this year 2021. the islais creek improvement project, that is in its design phase, planning and environmental phase. we used the june bonds to assess the feasibility of constructing a pedestrian bridge. so based on the results of the

feasibility study, the port is currently considering options on what to do in this location. and then, the last project is the pier 27 public art project. it's shown here in the planning phase because the port and the sf arts commission will be selecting an artist this summer. i'm happy to answer any questions if there are any. >> i had one okay. and this is on the water front? one of them the completion delayed from april 2017 to march of '24. what was the problem there? >> that is all tied to mission

ferry bay landing construction schedule and i actually -- mission bay fairly has been delayed a couple of years and the original date was maybe showing the project. but the location of the vista park is right there at mission bay ferry landing and so for construction phasing, it really needs to go with the mission bay ferry landing project because if we were to construct it, it would get damaged during the project that's kind of like a staging area for that project and so we need to construct it together and the delay is due to the mission bay ferry landing project not the park itself. >> we haven't issued a contract for your work yet. so you're not looking at a delay from the contractor, are you? >> no.

agua vista will be advertised. there will be a team, but i'm sure it will all be one contract and we expect to advertise that in 2022. >> okay. that answers that question. i think on generic question on all of them, on the reporting within the document you provided, you give in reporting on the budget, you give a baseline amount for the bond program and in the second column, it will say other funding and then it will always be zero, but then the next line down, it will say total funding and i can quickly go back to the report so you know what i'm talking about. but, anyway, it looks like other funding and it will be nonzero in the second line down. so i think i just got confused by the reporting that you did

there. typically, the projects have both bond funding and some other funding in addition to them, is that not right? >> i'd say that's right. i'm not sure which one you're looking at i just have crane cove park up right now, and i see it does have funds lifted in that column. but i'm sure you're right that many of them say zero. well agua vista park is true that the park itself doesn't have other funding. we didn't put the entire budget for mission bay ferry landing in there. but the park itself is funded that's accurate that those are all the funds for the park. >> yeah. and it seems like on the water front ones, there hand been

bond funding anything other than bond funding in that first line. but i'm looking back at world war i park. bond bay signed 2012 bond, $6 million, other funds zero. total 6.0. next line down. current 2012 bond 8.3 and other bonds 6.3 for a total or 14.6. so my question is was the plan always on these parks that the current funded that the bond would be augmented by other funds? >> yeah, and i can sort of speak to that. so the during the evolution of the project clearly cost the bid to go up and we continue to

look for funding to augment and finish these projects and we sort of got lucky that we were able to augment these funds which we got authority from the commission. these kind of projects these funds are meant for. so i'm glad we're able to use that to finish the project. so essentially what we're doing is leveraged some of the funding to be able to finish this project: >> thank you for the question, member regardwin. so this is exactly right. this other funding line is zero because when the 2012 bond was scoped, we were thinking of

2012 bonds to complete this project. it's now may two thousand twenty-one, and nine years later, additional funds were needed and very often we're not only responding to project escalation, but additions with scope. so there's a multitude of factors that go on when we get to the final budget number. >> and, if i can also add to that is that we have made a commitment to stake holders and community that all of these projects that we start, we are going to finish and we have made that commitment and i'm happy to say we have delivered on 100% of this project. we've never said, that's not

enough money to finish a project. we brainstorm on some of these ideas to deliver this project and this plan. >> yeah. and that's a fair answer, but the question did jump out at me there had been considerable escalation and the cost in just about all of them. but if you have had to add scope to them for whatever reason, that would explain it. we're getting something for the money in other words and i think i understand too, when you scope these projects out for the purposes of putting the bond together, the scope of work is going to be limited and like, you know, based on some kind of preliminary engineering. nowhere near and a better idea

of what the final scope is going to be. as long as you're getting something for the money, it's not like we had extensive delay claims because of god knows what and now the cost of the project per the original scope has gone up 60%, 70%, or eighty%. i'll ask one more question and then we'll move on. have you had any delayed claims from contractors because of the shutdown in work due to covid? >> yes. so we've have a notice of potential delay, that's what it's called, on the garfield pool project. by the contractor indicating delays due to covid. we've been coordinating our responses with the city

attorney's office and um, our position is consistent throughout the city that they are not entitled to a non and, after that, we believe we're in great standing. >> yeah. and i've spoken to some people in the city attorney's but it's your department, then the city of san francisco and the county of san francisco are going to be facing all these kinds of questions. >> that's a great question. thanks for your answer. they're all good.

>> i have a couple of questions i'll start with shannon on the mission bay ferry terminal, chase center's been done for awhile now, what's causing the delay in getting this terminal built and this park built? can you shed any light on that? >> yeah. it's a funding delay. the majority of the funding comes from rm3 and rm3 has been in litigation for the past -- >> please remind me what rm3 is. >> sorry. regional measures 3 was -- i don't want to speak beyond my knowledge of it, but it's bridge tolls. and so it has been challenged. so i think it went up to the california supreme court and it's going to be heard and we don't really have a schedule

for it. i mean rpgs we are hopeful that it will be resolved in our favor and the funds will be coming, but it is the vast majority of the funding for the ferry landing and so we've been unable to move forward without knowing how that's going to be resolved. >> that's a shame. >> yeah. we hope that the end of 2021 or very early 2022 that it will be resolved in our favor and that our plan is advertised in 2022 based on that. >> thank you. that's a shame. thank you for clarifying. and, then can you talk a bit more about all the swimming pool projects collectively? i'm sure those are very expensive and i have no idea how often our public pools in the city are used. if someone can give me an idea.

i walk by a lot of different parks. can someone give me an idea of how many people use our swimming pool? >> sure. i should have put this number in front of me. let me provide an overall context. we have about nine pools with the 2008 and 2012 bond program. we would have renovated all of those nine pools in our portfolio. generally, the life cycle for these pools, they range between about 27 to about 32 years in terms of a life cycle and so this is the first time that we are actually renovating the pools. i'm glad we've gone through with these bonds to address all of these pools.

but one thing i can sort of tell you in terms of usage, for example, the rec center. >> i'm sorry, where is that located toks. >> gary and steiner? >> okay. >> yeah. and i picked that because it's in the context of many programs we deliver. so it has a rec center and a playground and a pool. those are what we call magnets that bring a lot of people to that center one thing we took a

30 yard pool and made it into a and also lap swimming can occur. and we've doubled the amount of people we've been able to serve. over 100%. because we're running sort of this duel programming on the shallow side. because, before, what would happen was that we would do sort of close the pool for rec swimming or close the pool for lap swimming. it also has our first pool that

has a slide. so that has drawn a lot of people to that pool. at garfield center, for example, we thought of this project almost like a day at garfield center. and, what i mean by that is that this is a center that has a myriad of program opportunities. it's got soccer. it's got the rec building and it's got a pool. if family can sort of be there all day where mom is doing yoga class and kids are doing soccer. and we're excited about it because we're really going to be able to reach a tremendous amount of people. >> and, at all of these

facilities, i presume there is security provided, life guards at the pool, security in the parks themselves 24/7 or dawn to dusk. >> yes. that is correct. so we have life guards on duty any time we're offering any sort of programs at the pool, for example. there is security at the site. and, one thing we found out also as we sort of activate every single age in this sort of public space, it becomes a deterrent with many eyes on it. so we've sort of adopted that strategy to activate as much spaces as we can in the state to become and we work with the community to actually sort of delegate or sort of think through what the hours are, for example so we're not a

deterrent. >> thank you. and, one more question. how do i know when i move into a neighborhood that there's this beautiful recreation center with a lovely pool and playground or soccer field or community meeting or the lovely park where i can relax. how do i know about these facilities if i'm a resident of san francisco? >> that's a great question. so what we've been doing is using our sort of social media channels to be able to reach out to residents that are living in the neighborhood and as they move in. we're working on a website engaging more because as people sort of move in, they can go to our website and sort of put in the zip code and say, what are the type of amenities that are available for you. so the swimming, the play area next door. there's a dog play area next door. so we're bringing that level of

sort of intelligence to our website such that people can truly be able to sort of understand the kind of services we provide. >> right. i'm just trying to think. i won't take anymore time on this. i just want to make sure, you have this beautiful new garfield pool that there's some sort of announcement to the neighborhood. new, renovated. i mean, just getting the word out. balloons around for a week, whatever just to let people know these facilities are there and make sure they're used. >> yes. another thing we do is that we have a community celebration usually when they open. usually that's a catalyst to get people to sort of understand that the facility's open, it's open to the public, the sort of services we have. and the other thing we have seen, we've adopted a strategy where we've done prior presort

of use and post use of our facilities and we're taking that and trying to see how we can sort of improve our program. we have the baseline saying that's like people that use this playground. but what we've seen though. we're sort of excited about this. we've seen over 230% of additional use. >> my last question. it might be useful with some point with some of the extra funds that cgobo has maybe to do an audit of bond financed facilities to police and park

facilities, all of the different public projects we oversee, after they've been improved and five to 10 years later. i'm sure we all walked by a park and seen damage or potholes or dirty playground equipment or whatever. i don't mean to pick on parks, but my point being, we had these beautiful projects in all of our liaison areas once they're completed that 5 and 10 years down the road, when they should still be in good shape. these are designed in the last decades, it might be interesting to do an audit of a number of our projects that were built in 2010, 2012, and see is the city maintaining them. that's a whole other piece of this. maybe tok's or shannon, but who's maintaining them a decade later because that could cost a lot of money if we have to go

back in and repair bonds and not just parks, but streets, hospitals, fire stations, the whole gamut. >> i agree. we're on this cycle that the bonds are being used to do things should upkeep be handled. and this is not just the last 10 years. so i've been on this committee for like one time or another and it's just the same thing over and over again. >> i can speak slightly to your question. that's a great question. and it's one that we've taken very seriously. so what we did about two years ago was that we did a conditions assessment of all of our assets and it took almost like 18 months whereby we were able to sort of catalog almost

66 meaningful, sort of meaningful and skrufled space. i would catalog it into a database and what that database does is it informs our sort of maintenance schedule such that we're not sort of -- we're making sort of preventative decisions. so in order, a playground, for example, it tells the maintenance yard, the system tells the maintenance yard, you need to come to the site to sort of recalibrate some of the play equipment, for example, we need to come to the site to refinish or resort of clean the safety to address this in this

so that sort of translates into our work order program for our staff such we are planning ahead for the next six months, twelve months so make sure we are addressing it. so prop b, for example, we're using that the facilities themselves are maintained properly and also to ensure that the life cycle is sort of kept for a long time such that, you know, it's there for longer. >> great. thank you. so maybe parks might be a little on the road to this already. but, anyway, just the thought for the committee at some point, it might be an interesting audit if you will across all our program areas just to make sure that there are these sorts of checks in

place. thank you very much. >> sure. thank you. >> this is peg. just to get a little comment, i think it's an interesting thought, good idea. what toks has described about the rec park. there are other sources of data in the city that are similar for other types of bond investments, there's grading that gets done for street facilities, there's a deferred maintenance schedule analysis that comes out of some of the capital planning material that ryan strong will speak to. so i think it's a good thought. there's a couple sources of data that would inform something like that and we can discuss it with you and the audits group. thanks. >> thank you.

>> hi, james matoli here. just kind of a looking back at the previous bond. it seems like the plan versus the actual start date, it seems like these projects really ends up getting delayed. i'm curious what steps you might be taking or how you look at that. because there's some pretty significant delays. obviously, some of that's outside of your control, but we'd love to hear your thoughts on that. >> great. that's a great question and this is something -- this is one of the big lessons learned that we're doing differently at this time is that we've actually sort of started

designed the concept that we'd refer to are project which means one, you have a design in place we do have entitlement, we have communities of buy-in. we have commission approval such that when this project, when the first issuance is in design now. we have ceqa, we have everything in place. another project is innovation,

for example, and we took that approach because of the size of the complexity of these projects that the longer these projects are delayed, the bigger the escalation is. so we worked with the capital planning team to get some, to front us some planning moneys to get sort of design and project management sort of services to get these projects and ideas ready. when the first issuance is issued later this year, all these projects are going to be going out to bid in two thousand twenty-two right away. that's one of the lessons we've learned in the last two months to your point. >> thanks. that's great to hear. >> if there's no other questions, do we take public

comment now? >> i think we have a liaison report. >> chairman: oh, sorry. >> clerk: that's okay. with member pantoja. >> good morning everybody. it's good to see such wonderful familiar faces. it's been awhile. so you've all really asked a lot of the same questions i did and you covered a very thorough report on parks and rec, you know, so i'll try and touch on a few things that i did get -- a few questions i did get answers to in my conversation with toks and then i'll turn it over to alex. one of my things was appropriations in materials. that's one thing in building anything in california really.

and everything pretty much confirmed to be in possession already because that's again talking about these delays where we have this funding and they're just sitting on it because of for example the materials, so that was a great thing to hear. the question about the pools. so when i lived in sunset, i used the mona pool. and i would go to the pool once a week and get ready once a week. and i'd get a few weeks in and then i'd be at the beach. now i live in the bayview so i've got to martin luther king's pool which is a hidden gem of the bayview and i believe it's due for some renovation, but even where it is now, it's a great pool. you wouldn't know it looking at the outside, but when you get inside, it's a great pool. so i'm looking forward to the rest of that park being

reconstructed and updated to make it also a place where you can spend the entire day as toks was talking about and i'm also looking forward to bayview park and looking forward to putting some steps. it's a really steep path. it will definitely get your heart rate up. so ultimately, what i've discovered in having these discussions with the park and recs team that it seems to me they're doing everything possible to be effective with this bond. they're putting effort and note all the planning in the world, you're going to hit obstacles, but it seems to me that they're doing their best and trying to cover all the bases. so this money's being well used and they're being effective with parks and bonds. so, and, the other thing was

margaret hayward, the facility the last few weekends, i notice there wasn't security, i noticed there was a cleaning crew and the park was full on a saturday. people were excited to get out and use the parks and i do hope the plan to maintain these parks and keep them looking beautiful, we stay on it, for our city and for the benefit of all our citizens. that's pretty much my report. >> thanks, mark. should we open it up to public comment. >> clerk: sure. thank you. members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call (415) 655-0001. access code 187 918 3240 and then press found and pound

again. a system prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and you may begin your comments. please note that you will have three minutes. i don't see anyone with their hands raised. so we can close. >> there's no callers in the queue. >> clerk: we can close public comment and move on to

>> thank you very much. good morning everyone. i'm brian strong. i'm the chief resilience officer and director of the office of capital planning. i'm really excited to be able to come and speak with you about the ten year capital plan that recently passed. this was passed by the board in

april. and so there was a fair amount of ground to cover and i know that also pertains to us and we have some of those tools for tracking who really specialized in our renewal program as we move through, i encourage you to ask questions so the 10 year capital plan. we've been around the first capital plan came in 2006. since then it has increased we are now at $38 billion and

while this seems like a significant amount of funds, agz you know there is a lot of need in an incredibly dense city anesthesia subject to earthquakes and other types of disasters. and, as a city, we not only have our own assets within the city, but we also have an airport, we also have a public utilities commission which brings water and power to san francisco into a number of other suburban communities. so the other thing i do want to mention in this new capital plan is the table that shows the total amount is that we have added affordable housing and i think as we were one of the first cities to do a

ten-year multicapital plan. we were one of the first to create capital housing and our city tends to be owned by the private sector but we have had as you're aware new bonds to address affordable housing and there was a desire by the board and by capital planning community as well that it should be part and we are expecting to be spending $2.6 billion on affordable housing. a lot of that is coming from private development. the other thing i would want to mention on this slide, some departments have really cut back. so under transportation which is where we have our mta and airport, both those agencies have had to reduce their capital program, especially the airport program considerably.

so, as a result, the total amount of our capital plan is about the same, but that's really because we added affordable housing and it's making up the difference. if we go to the next slide here to give you a sense of the source of and again, this shouldn't be too surprising, but for general fund department which tend to be our police and fire agency, our department of public health, they heavily rely on geo bonds. so about 40% of their capital expenditures are coming from geo bonds. or 40% of the source is am copping from geo bonds and then another significant amount from our general fund. when we look at the enterprise department, you see there's a lot of federal department and that's why you see it becomes a

smaller portion of the overall program. so we've had our capital planning principles in place for some time and this year it's given the events that happened in 2020, we really wanted to make an emphasis on racial equity. so number two, we added the language the third principle that we use is assets and sustainability. that gets to some these questions around maintenance and then we have reports that are approved those types of measures and then we have economic development to round it out. we go to the next slide, you

know, i mentioned equity and resilience, we're also thinking a lot about climate change and resilience and you really can't have a system or a city that able to with stand shocks and the i should mention we've made significant investments. we've been funding for a long time to address the digital divide and then permanent supportive housing which was part of the most recent geo

bond. and then i mentioned we're looking at overall need for housing across the city. we also had passed the $600 million afford'able housing bond and then we have a planned bond for more affordable housing and that doesn't include the housing trust fund that was also passed by the city. sea level we now have been making a lot of progress on ocean beach and we're looking at newer investments or

nongreen house gas reducing or eliminating green house gas and we're looking at additional changes of chapter 9 and then chapter 7 which impacts the general funds facility which the city owns. those are the buildings most likely to be damaged or collapse. they have the most collapse potential in an earthquake. so we moved through that list and we've made a remarkable amount of progress. part of the challenge is as these buildings are getting over 10 or 15 years ago to meet

the challenges of the future. so delapdated infrastructure is what we call a stressor. when we have a pandemic or any of those types of things, we're much more limited in our ability to respond. so some features in that program includes the sea wall. we have a recent lifeline performance group that we do outside of our capital program. public and private including pg&e and the comcast and some of the different utility providers. whatever the vision zero program around reducing pedestrian deaths and we have a large bond plan, $400 million plan in 2022 that we'll mention

in more detail for the transportation network. finally, i just want to mention in the chapter of planning for our future, we do want to highlight, you know, the past two years, we've done more in geo bonds than ever in such a short time period that i can recall and we have a tracker on our website that goes back to

1950. recognizing the significant budget cuts across the city and looking at that and how it impacted especially our pay as you go cash program. we're looking at how we can infuse dollars into the city. that includes equity and climate resilience to it. we think about the recovery stimulus that we're asking for projects that are going to be completed that are going to start within the next 18 months and the criteria are the advancing racial equity. are they addressing climate and hazard risk reduction.

are they preserving and supporting housing. and a lot of that has to do with the businesses that were most impacted by this time we really wanted to make it explicit. we did a survey for them where we asked people about populations we asked people about how those populations may negatively impacted by capital

projects and i'm moving to the next slide and i'll ask mashaw to talk about the medical examination the first program

we have is in the amount of $forty-two million and then the next one is for november 2023 which is the public health bond for $187.5 million. we have an affordable and then we will follow up with another public health bond. as brian mentioned, on the we have approved $1.7 million in

geo bonds. we're only proposing $1.2 billion for this 10 year cycle. yeah. so this is basically geographical showing that the geo bonds have already been issued and this shows the proposed bond for the next ten years and the red line there represents the property tax rate constraint that we have

and we make an effort to stay under. this is moving on from the geo bonds to the parts we have a number of programs for critical care. the intent of which is to address some shortfalls on the pandemic on our pay as you go program. so we have critical care programs for $50 million and then moving on for we have relocation for the hsa headquarters which is the

seismic. and more programs to address the shortfalls and the general program as well as support for the street resurfacing program. and, then, finally, we also have a hall of justice consolidation project and public works yard consolidation. but given how far out, those numbers are likely to shift. and the geo bond capacity for

showing initially authorized c.o.p.s. and, then, moving on from the debt program, this is what the pay-as-you-go program looks like and shortfalls caused by covid. we have tried to maintain the allocation program. we have certain one that is come off the top we have continued to prioritize ada needs across the city. even those allocations for those 88 facilities are lower than we have seen in plans.

they do continue to be a priority. so we have done our best to fund those. the street resurfacing program, the funding for that, from the general fund, like i mentioned before is significantly lower than we've seen, but we are trying to support that with geo bonds as well as specific certification to make sure it does not fall significantly from where we are right now. those are treated at reallocation programs. once all the other allocations have been made. we pro rate those recommendations across the different departments based on the needs that we've received through our facility resource

renewal model. so that totals $1.two billion over the next ten years. this is the comparison for our program year by year to what was recommended in the previous capital plan. so it shows the recommendations in the previous plans. so you can see there is a significant drop-off in the total recommended funding. what we have tried to do in the near term is add some funding from the c.o.p. program to supplement some of the short falls of the dash blue line shows what the total funding is including both the general fund and cops and so you can see we've come pretty close to what

was recommended in the previous plan, but going forward, it will be a challenge to address all of the needs that we have. >> all right. thanks. yeah, just to follow up on this chart that nishad was talking about. it's a program as a result of covid which is why we were starting out at a number of $46 million rather than $144 million which was what was in the previous plans at $155 million recognizing that we don't have the funds to jump back up to 155. we're growing it by 10% and then we'll get an infusion of $176 million or so that will bring us back up to a more

reasonable level. we're still not sure what things are going to look like in the next two or three years. we were expecting some type of economic downturn. it looks like the economy is doing much better than people expected. so there is a chance that we'll be able to kick these dollars up sooner rather than later to address some of the long term backlog and facility renewals and maintenance. finally, i would just very quickly, i i'm sure there's a number of questions. i would just highlight a number of things the city's been able to put in place. and part of this is we've been meeting our affordable housing goals. so that was met. we're actively working on 1,139

units in supportive housing and veterans housing. so that is under way right now. we celebrated the completion of crane cove park. i know there was some questions already. but some of the port facilities and parks, we adopted the mark and octavia hub area plan amendment. that's going to provide space for additional housing as well as public benefit over the life of the planning. one of the ways we raised funds for capitalists through developer impact fees and those supplement a lot of the geo bond work we're doing along with the capital investment plans that we're making. in construction a lot of infrastructure is being put in

place right now and over the past couple years. the city opened up 49 south van ness. including 30 van ness and 650 mission. some of our -- one of our buildings on mission street. we completed phase two. they're moving in to 350 rhode island and we're continuing to make progress and emptying the hall of justice. animal care and control recently opened a brand new

finally, very quickly, we opened up another navigation center and expanded the navigation center. we're working right now on the seismic retrofit of the health center. we are doing work with homeless was put in place and developed we're maintaining a street block. we've planted 2,000 trees and some of our we've been

replacing water mains and we've completed the dam project. but we've opened two stations systems and we're close to finalizing work at the park and ingleside police stations. education and parks and cultural centers. a lot of this renovation at 11 parks. for instance, francisco

reservoir and shoreview. we've done a lot of work at the library in the lower level. we did work around our cultural centers. so we added hvac in many visions and we've done a lot of work on a.d.a. barrier removal and this next capital plan we expect to do a lot of work the african american cultural center and the latino arts center. we've done a lot of work replacing our bus fleet and now we're going to be replacing the infrastructure for that fleet. we did open that new hotel probably a little bit of unfortunate timing as we have a new hotel and we completed the downtown ferry terminal

expansion project. you can see now there are seven or eight gates that have been added and they've been raised z up. so, with that, we will open it up to questions and thank you very much for your time. go ahead, roseanne can you hear me. >> clerk: i can hear you. >> or committee chair. >> chairman: thanks, brian. does anyone have any questions? >> hi, this is jane natoli. one quick question. just curious especially on the housing bond side that's a pretty significant drop in the

size. are you concerned at all about um,, you know, i get all the reasons, of course, because i'm going to hear about it. are you concerned at all about how that might impact getting voter support for some of these bonds or anything like that? that might be outside of our and we still need affordable housing. so just curious about that. while we've had housing. >> it's important that we have this capital plan with that graph where we can inform voters that we know we're only

issuing new bonds as we're retiring old ones. by making that statement, it means that we're constrained. so while i know we would be able to put more money in the affordable housing bonds. as we get closer to that date, we may consider there's additional capacity. we require that to increase the other bonds in the program and that's where the real challenge is, you know, we did add some money to the mta their revenues have been devastated by covid. they're going to continue to be devastated and they've got significant infrastructure needs there especially for some of their new fleet that we need to, you know, address. the next bond is going to be

another public health bond with critical items and then, and affordable housing. we also have a water front safety bond which we know is going to be important because we're seeing more and more impacts of flooding and sea level rise, not to mention the fact that we're working with the army corps. and should we be able to get the army corps to make significant investments. it's going to require matching dollars that come from the city. so, anyway, i think we would like to put more money into affordable housing, but i think that's going to be the challenge on how we do that and balance it against other needs and i can assure you we heard from a lot of the affordable housing folks, is this enough money. it's going to be an ongoing conversation between that. >> this is a balancing act for

sure. you know, i'm just thinking about how my friends who don't pay attention but ask to respond are going to be like wait, what? ? that's it. maybe we can make some great strides in the next few years and they won't think that. >> yeah. part of it, i have to say, we were a bit of a victim of our own success. we had $8.2 billion so it's impacting our ability. certainly with covid and other things, people were not comfortable with doing things this year. i suspect that that's going to be an issue on the table.

>> chairman: okay. do we have any other committee member questions? >> can we move on to the liaison report? >> chairman: yeah. >> so i don't have a full report. this was a new assignment for me. brian, i look forward to connecting with you and your team in the near future so that i can. >> okay. thank you, brian and nishan,

for reporting. madam chair, i'd like to move to public comment. >> chairman: okay. >> clerk: members of the public should call (415) 655-0001. access code 187 918 3240. if you haven't done so already. please press star 3 and you may begin your comments. please note that you will have three minutes. >> there are no callers in the queue. >> okay. thank you. seeing as there are no one offering public comment, i'd like to move to item six. >> chairman: okay. >> clerk: discussion of the cgobaoc annual report and

timing. >> this is peg. roseann can you pass me the presenter ball. so good morning everyone. peg stevens from the controller's office. we discussed this in your last meeting and we discussed it with the chairs and, i'm sorry. i meant to send in your committee packet, a sheet which outlines what we've talked about. that's what i will put up on the screen. >> yeah. it's not letting me. >> or you can open up the document i sent, roseann, if that's easier. >> it's not letting me.

>> would you likely to make her the presenter? >> yes, please. >> okay. can you provide me -- >> it's peg stevens. >> she should now be the presenter. >> okay. are people seeing this sheet? >> yeah. >> sorry i'm not entirely used to this format. so this is what we talked about. the last time cgoboc issued an annual report was 2019.

the issue referenced in that report was 18 months and that was largely to do with the delay in information because of our change over to a new financial system referencing the two fiscal years that will have elapsed since then and then stepping down to the outline. if people remember the content of the last annual report, there was sort of an executive summary which spoke to all bonds and issues that we're seeing and had a brief

paragraph on which attached to an addendum report. on every bond program including the dial on scopes, presentation, and budget which i think we just won't have staff to work on it by the time you wanted to issue yours and i'll come back on that sunt in a minute but what we were suggesting for this report is that there be sort of executive summary in the front which the chair and/or vice chair would draft that speaks to what the committee's activities have been over the past two years including your having to and anything else that's deemed by importance in reference to the committee's work. and then just a couple of paragraphs from each liaison about the bond program. and then there would be a

paragraph about construction contract auditing. submitted by mark and his staff. and the broad scope schedule and budget summary and charts submitted by my staff and we would just put in some displays which are like the one on the second page of the bond programs. we reference expenditure and then we'll try and find a way to do a simple chart on scope and schedule. so rather than an extensive report like i just talked about, we would have a high level chart and summary on budget subject matters. so i will stop there and ask.

>> i don't have a lot of opinion about the content. i think i've only been involved in one report. i'm more wondering how the committee wants to schedule a timeline for submitting whether it's going to be a draft and then a more formalized report. maybe some of our more seasoned members can give me some advice or guidance on how you guys did this in the past. do we just set a basic schedule and everybody submits their -- >> can people see the lower part of the sheet. >> yes.

okay. so between now and june 30th. it's really just a couple of paragraphs in each case. we can circulate the last report. so it seems to me you'd have a little bit over a month, five weeks to get your drafts into the chair for assembly to submit our content on the public integrity and just the reason for that is to let june 30th come and go and if we have any other reports that get issued by the end of the fiscal year in case there are going to

be any other audits we'd be able to reference them in our summary. so then we would work with the chairs to assemble the draft, get it complete or ready for review, have that done by july 30th and materials that go out for your august meeting and hopefully, we can review the draft and if there are no changes, approve it at your august meeting. it's possible to get that done by e-mail and issue it before if we do a good job with the draft, i think we'd might be able to approve your august meeting. so that's my suggestion. >> so it seems to me like the chair summary, the executive overview should kind of come last. first in the report, but last in the schedule.

just. >> so you could make your liaison reports requested on june 30th and then the chair. >> i have a suggestion. this is lauren post. i think this is too aggressive a question if this report is supposed to include fiscal 2021. i would suggest bumping all these dates a month, in other words, the chair or whatever, liaison reports draft are due july 31st. i just know that all of our respective program areas, they'll be wrapping up their 2021 projects on june 30th, so it seems to me to have at least a month i don't see the and

have the issue report in october is fine, i think, that way we really can cover fiscal 2021 as well as '19, '20. that would be my suggestion. i think we were going to try to push the timeline because we seemed z to have skipped a year in this report, but it's too close when covering such a big amount of data, i think we need to make sure the quality is through. >> some of the program areas, maybe all of them may have projects wrapping up or closing out in the last quarter of 2021. it would be nice if we decide to. it just makes more sense given

that the fiscal year doesn't end to the 30th of june. so thank you for that consideration. >> agree. >> okay. that's fine. i guess i was responding to the committee's sort of urgency, feeling of urgency about issuing this report, but it's completely up to you and we can accommodate either schedule. so rather than do it here in the meeting, why don't i refresh this chart with proposed dates that would get us to an october review and issuance and then i'll share it back with the chairs and we can go from there. >> do you want to share your thoughts, mark? >> yes. can you hear me. >> yes. what peg mentioned in terms of

the timing of our audits, i think that closing out the entire fiscal year is definitely preferable. we do have a couple of deliverables from public integrity front that we're planning on issuing either in june or july. so the next few months. one is reporting deliverable and then the other one we're trying to capture basically the updates on the 12 months. so it's been 12 months in june since we issued our very first public integrity assessment, so we're planning on issuing a very quick report on the status of the recommendations basically reporting on the corrective actions that have been taken since the issuance of our report. so that will definitely jive with the timing of our issuances. >> okay. >> okay.

great. i will refresh this chart as i said and send it back to the chair and vice chair and request to the liaisons with the timing on what's being requested. thank you. that helps us as well. >> chairman: okay. any other committee member input? >> clerk: should i move to public comment? >> chairman: okay. >> there are no callers in the queue. >> clerk: okay. seeing there's no callers in the queue, then shall we move to item 7? >> chairman: please. >> opportunity for committee members to comment or take action on any matters within

the committee's jurisdiction. a., fiscal year 2020-2021 cgoboc work initiatives. standardized templates. independent review of the whistleblower program. other committee business. public finance, up coming bond issuance. cgoboc fiscal year 2020-2021 work plan. public integrity reviews. liaison report of the 2018 embarcadero sea waul earthquake safety bond and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation. >> peg again here. we moved the items around in this standing agenda item a

little bit just to try to reflect slightly better logic. i hope. so i'll speak to 1a,b, and c first and then ask for feedback. these are items where goboc wanted to work separate apart from the bond reports. one is the standardized templates where you look together and review the material that's being submitted to you and suggest improvements that would give you more standard work and standard content. with your review of two fiscal years ago of street sites and park sites and then c is an independent review of the whistleblower program.

so standardized templates, we're going to hold this thought until work is under way which i'll touch on in our work plan where we're going to try to get to realtime planning and online dash boards and some 0 the bond programs which has been presented. so i'll come back to that when we talk about our work plan. housing public perception survey i have promised and i will make it come true to have staff available to start working on the scope for this before the end of this fiscal year and jane natoli is our liaison on this. so i will reach out to her and put her in touch with my staff person. and same thought process on the independent whistle blower review. so i will have staff work done before the end of a fiscal year on this and i'll reach out to

the whistleblower liaison and get their consultation on it. i will pause there on items 71,a,b, and c. >> my question is just how much time do you think is still being or resources or staffing to the covid emergency responsiveness or have we gotten mostly through that so we can work on some of these things? >> we are doing well as a city on winding down the response and shrinking the programs. we're going to exit out of mosconi exit plan. dsw with an exception of a couple individuals who are key to certain programs.

and so what i'm doing is just carving off pieces of staff time to get some work done, each of these things. so it won't be a lot. i can promise you an outline we have more of our staff back. there's trailing work on covid. they're doing a bunch of vacation time and other things, so it's not a lot, but this item is very high on our priority list and we'll get the two bids issued during the summer. i am confident. >> peg, any e.t.a. on when you all will be back in your offices? >> as we say the soft opening of city hall is on june 1st mostly departments that do more public counter service like treasure tax collectors.

controller's office will have our front desk open again. i'm not sure if it's going to be on a walk-in basis, but we'll be staffing the front office again and then the week after that, city hall is formally open to the public, weddings, photographers, tourists, all the rest of it. our staff will be i think mostly working from home during the summertime, but the city's overall architecture we're all hoping that the schools are open and fully functioning again by august and by september 1st, we can move to the hybrid work model that we all envision. >> i see. thank you. >> just to follow up, not totally related and thinking about that, is there any anticipation on when our next

meeting will be as a committee? just kind of curious about that because that obviously makes a difference in terms of joining and planning days and all of that for us as well. >> my knowledge of the rules and regulations is not complete. i think the in-person meetings are not permitted as long as there's certain health order emergency orders still in place.

. so next i will go through 7.2. >> i apologize. i believe i'm sharing the calendar here. so our next up coming issuances of geo bonds will be for transportation 2014, the 2020 health and recovery bond and

2020 bonds. on may 12th, we expected we'd close in june. it looks like we're going to be pushed back a little bit in july. the transportation bond is going to be the final issuance to close out the $500 million 2014 transportation bond and allow them to finish their projects ahead of their next ballot. this is the issuance of the 2020 health and recovery bond and we're seeking a not to exceed authorization of $425 million. we may issue that in one or more series, but a good chunk of it is going to be issued this summer to start funding those projects and getting those going and the 2020

issuance we're looking to fund acquisition of fire training facility site, potentially some fire station sites and other issuance of funds into the emergency fire fighting system projects for p.u.c.. so that's what's going to be funded by the easter projects and then the next issuance in the spring of next year for seawall. that would be in the planning stages and i think this will allow them to move a little further along on those projects and the other potential issuance for next year, we have some call dates coming up in

2022. so if there's savings bonds next year. >> thanks. questions for the finance office? okay. seeing none. i'm going to go on to 2b and i'm actually going to reference 2e as well. we should of had them together. sorry about that. this is where mark dela rosa can update you on the progress of their public integrity views. in terms of the geo bond in

terms of your last meeting on the last audit that we conducted. we do have in the pipeline and as part of our '21, 22 'should there be a need or a request from this committee. we're definitely going to be including the two deliverables that will be coming in the next couple of months. one is on the twelve month public integrity status and the other. as you also know. we have also been continuously working on other elements of

our public integrity reviews by including one, another one and sfpuc that we also have planned in the pipeline and, as needed, we will add additional assessment happy to answer any question that is you have. >> if there's no questions or comments for mark, thank you mark, i will go on to the work plan items. so for c.s.a.s the references to 2021. i thought we were going to make this a reference to both fiscal years. so for our due to covid, but we

have slowly been able to get back some staff time and now under way with noncovid work. before the end of the year, as i mentioned work on the goboc committee. some of the garbage rate results that came out of the recent the city probably wants to take the result of that. so woe have a project working with a working group, members of the board of supervisors and other city agencies concerned with that under way. we have some e.e.o. work under way with the human resources department that has long been a priority of increasing the city's efforts to improve its e.e.o. process and the

committee management we are starting with the department of public works on how to perceive the break-up of the department that was referenced in the items that were on the balance last november so there's going to be a long process where we need to disaggregate the capital from the other office of public work and start to split out their cost structure, their billing. their overheads and it's going to be a fair amount of preparation to make that come true and so that is now under way and, at the same time, we are planning for fiscal year '21 and '22. probably the single biggest issue there will probably need

to be extended some months longer than originally anticipated. but we still have a plan to wind out or other housing support, but that will allow longer than anticipated and take some staff time support from us. but i am optimistic about getting under way with getting back to some of the reporting that is of interest to the committee and our charter mandates including street park and sidewalk inspections again. we are proposing one of the great things that happened during covid was how much progress we made on auto mated and realtime data sources will

be much better. so i will stop there and turn it over to mark for any quick notes on their work plans. >> this is adam. the c.s.a. audits of the side of c.s.a. in general were also continuing covid related cost recovery work that a number of our auditors have been part of in the last over 1.5 years or 15 months. we've been basically providing the support in terms of our fema and c.a.r.e.s. act as well as other sources of funds to help cover a number of those will still be involved throughout a number of those. as some of you may know per a

lot of the fema guidance that's out there, it's anticipated that the response phase would end by the end of september. so september 30th, 2021. so we're assuming that a lot of the eligible fema costs will need to be reported thereafter. so we're anticipating that the tail end of the cost recovery work will hopefully kind of wind down by q3 or q4 of next fiscal year. that however hasn't stopped us in csa audits to continue on with the work and so we will still continue. our suite of work in terms of i.t. security audits. our geo bond expenditures and some of our carry forward performance audit. we started this fiscal year that will be carried through

the next fiscal year and that will give us some bandwidth to begun any new audits and we've certainly learned so much and similar to peg's team the amount of data that's being collected out there has been a great source for our given there's a lot of transactions in terms of emergency contracts and purchasing that we can certainly use on the audit side to continue on with our risk base approach of identifying the key areas that we should focus on as part of our work plan and see if the audits. >> okay. so i'm mindful of the time. i know we're a little bit over. the cgoboc's schedule was in your committee packet.

so the one change so that's easy enough to amend. and then just to remind people that the dates are now set for these meetings which are the fourth monday, august 23rd. fourth so is that right roseanne. >> other than that, no changes to your own work plan. and, last but not least on this

7.2, we wouldn't have a liaison report in this agenda item, but we weren't sure if member pantoja was going to speak to it in the bond program report because this was up a couple of meetings ago. turn it over and see if there's anything he wanted to add. >> which report was that. >> okay. i wasn't able to attend that meeting. did you read that report during the meeting? >> we did do that, yes. >> okay. i believe that was pretty much my report. the seawall. a lot of the appropriation of funds, a lot of the funds were not used and, if i remember collectly there's a lot of engineering beforehand i think

i kind of summed it up in that e-mail report. so we don't really have any -- yeah. >> we'll check with the bond program managers on status and if it seems like we should put the seawall bond review back on the calendar for either one of the up coming meetings for this calendar year, we can do that. i'll check on that. >> well, actually, if you want to give me a moment, i did have a written report at that time.

yeah. i don't know where that's at. you can put it back on the agenda and i can do my research and have a report. >> i will check because i said on the timing of some of their progress and then i'll check with the chairs and yourself and we can see if you should add it to one of our up coming agendas. >> okay. >> so any comments or feedback on anything in 7.2?

that's it for us. >> clerk: thank you. member officer the public which wish to provide public comment should call (415) 655-0001. access code 187 918 3240. if you haven't done so, please press star 3 to line up to speak. a system will indicate you have raised your hand. please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and you may begin your comments. please note that you will have three minutes. >> i'm going to go ahead and unmute the caller. >> good morning, committee members. my name is dr. derek cur, a whistleblower.

regarding the whistleblower program audit, i wanted to notify the committee about two anomalies in the second quarter whistleblower program report that was issued last week. first, it fails to tally the number of retaliation claims that were sustained. that information had been provided in every whistleblower report since 2012 until this year. no explanation has been provided or requested by goboc for this unprecedented omission. second, there's a startling increase in the number of cases that were not investigated. the current report shows that 42 out of 185 complaints or 23% were not investigated.

compare this 23% to the 8% of complaints that were not investigating in quarter 1 or looking at last year's annual report, we again see that just 8% were not investigated. so the percentage of uninvestigated complaints has tripled since last year. yet, this huge increase did not warrant an explanatory comment or even a footnote in the quarter two report. merely saying these events did not apply enough information. hopefully, the liaisons will ask why the proportionate cases that are not investigated have tripped and why the outcomes of

whistleblower retaliation claims are no longer being closed. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you, caller. madam chair, there are no mr. speakers in the queue. may with adjourn the meeting. >> chairman: yeah. thank you, roseann. >> clerk: thank you. the time is 11:42. thank you everybody.

>> chairman: good morning, ns welcome to the rules committee of the san francisco board of supervisors for today, monday, may 24th, 2021, i am the chair, aaron peskin, joined by vice chair, supervisor raphael mandelman and connie chan. our clerk is mr. victor young. do you have any
