Because of the weather has been warm here, but they will be with us until january 1. Theyre near our friendfamily playground, a great place to bring children, grandchildren, et cetera. If you saw in the chronicle today, both the oakland zie and San Francisco zoo have zoo lights. These are free for members. If you buy online, 2 discount. Otherwise, 10 for adults, free for seniors and kids under 3. Well have santa here and when he goes, well have zoo lights in the area of the giraffe barn as well. A great way to celebrate the lights. The weather has been fantastic and i think this is the best lights show weve had so far, knock on wood, may help there isnt a monsoon. But anyway, speaking of holid s holidays, commissioner harrison gave me a great idea, you can give gift memberships to family and friends. We have adopt an Animal Program where you can buy a certificate, and they will be adopting and taking care of an animal for a year and thats a great way to connect the young generation to our animals. Thats a boon there, the black rhino, they are nearly extinct. Hes one of the few left in the world and we are happy to have him. Boon is named after, i think Football Player in the 49ers who is now gone. Lastly, a thought about mayor lee, we were one of the only zoos in the world on ocean front and weve complained about the fog and wind. And i was talking to ed lee and i thought, wasnt it time we embrace the coast, the fog, the views and maybe we even talk about Climate Change, but i was very nervous and ed and i have seen the impact of budget cuts and so forth. So he jokingly said, well, why dont you create a Climate Change popup. Everyone is having a popup these days. I think he was joking, but i took it seriously and were seeking just a temporary permit to have these two old shipping containers and have a education site here talking about Climate Change, coastal conservation. And really, have a stake in the ground as zoo on ocean on a coast, important coast at that. So again, his inspiration, we will pursue that if possible. With that, i finish my report. President buell thank you very much. Clerk any Public Comment on the item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners, this was discussion only. President buell any commissioner comments . Seeing none. Clerk item 7, Capital Planning and Software Licensing agreement. Good morning, the item before you today is the discussion and possible action to approve the 5year license agreement with four Rivers Software Systems in an amount not to exceed 1. 5 million for Capital Planning and Facility Conditions assessment purposes. Under our Strategic Plan, this Initiative Alliance with strategy one, inspire public space. Strategy 3, inspire investment. And also to increase Public Investment to better align with infrastructure needs and service expectations. This would be a bit of background for you. Next year, the department will begin preparing for the next geo bond proposal. Over the coming months, staff will focus on replacing the outdated Current Conditions assessment database with a system to provide direction on investments required to preserve and also to extend the life of our assets that are renovated through our bond program. Rpd has made a commitment to allocate funds. And to address the departments needs, deferred maintenance backlog, to shift from an emergency sort of focused practice to a much more proactive one. In preparation for the infusion of resources, rec park homes to further integrate the departments preventative maintenance and Capital Planning work flows. Our goal is for core Asset Classes like rec centers, play fields, playground and courts, the Department Staff will have access to dynamically updates, based on preventative Maintenance Work performed by the structure maintenance staff. The first step to that goal is to complete comprehensive assessment of our assets. The core capabilities of this life cycle system will be it will be able to sort of organize our conditions assessment data, assign index score to the facilities. It will be able to store cost data. Well be able to prioritize projects based on the quantity of data. Provide interface that allows for straight forward data entry generation by end users will be able to perform queries on this system. And well be able to produce plan and reports. Staff has recommended that the department pursue a waiver for four rivers software to conduct this assessment. We have approval from the office of Contract Administration and we have approval from the Civil Service commission earlier this month for this work. Just to tell you about justification for the sole source, staff identify four rivers as the only vendor with the knowledge and expertise needed to both perform the facilitys conditions, life cycle assessments required by the department, and to provide the Data Collected through the assessment and perform complex analysis of that data. Our Capital Planning division performed Extensive Research and spoke to different counties and municipalities, all over the country, before we came to this decision. Among the people we spoke to, we spoke to santa clara county, the east bay Regional Park district, marine county parks and the city of seattle. We also met and viewed demos from other systems that are out there. After viewing the demos, we came to the conclusion that theyre the only vendor that meets our needs. Four rivers proprietary assessment methodology and technology, the company employs a team of engineers with knowledge of mechanical, electrical lines in our facilities. Experience and expertise for life cycle assessments. If you approve the contract, conditions assessment will start in late january, early february, and we should be complete with those assessments in august or september this year, and we will come back to you to provide our findings of this assessment. We have also support from the office of Capital Planning from the city. We also have support from for this. Therefore, staff recommends that the commission approve this agreement with four rivers in an amount not to exceed 1. 5 for Capital Planning and Facility Condition assessment purposes. Ill answer any questions you have. President buell thank you very much. Clerk did you want to about go to Public Comment or commissioner . President buell lets start with commissioner comments. Commissioner anderson this is exciting investment. I was interested in part of it and wanted to highlight it for anybody out there listening besides us in this room. Part of the reason were doing this to is address the deferred maintenance backlog. I often hear in the parks, people concerned about plants dying or maintenance or pipes broken or whatever. Our department does a great job and there is no korcritique the but people see that in the parks and they want it attended to. Im excited about that aspect of it. Can you explain how people out in the field are going collect and record this Important Information to get it back to the mothership . Are we there yet . Are there handheld devices . Commissioner, let me provide context. Park maintenance, we have a robust system weve operated and youre going to hear our annual report later today, where we go out four times a year and evaluate all of the parks. And that is a mix of sort of cleanliness and landscape standards. And some deferred maintenance standards. And that data is done with hand held devices, information goes up. This is a slightly different system. This is, i think, i dont know if toks ajike useded phrase, budget life cycle, but were to assess the assets in the expected life cycle. So where are we in the renewal cycle. What the program does is breaks it down into large classes of assets. We have experts who come up with base score using complicated methodology, almost a Capital Asset depreciation kind of module, we will be able to, a, understand the current condition of the assets as we head into the next into bond planning, but also be able to predict when the asset needs to be renewed. The other key element of this, which is something weve talked about a long time, is this is the beginning or the backbone of a preventative maintenance schedule. So people dont go out regularly for this. They take up a base measurement of different classes of assets and populate the data. Commissioner anderson i understand. I can add to that also. One of the things that happens when we do capital implements in the project, that data itself does not go into a database to ensure that work has been done. What this software allows us to do, it allows us to update the database itself. In addition to that, it provides intelligence to say, you need to go back and replace filters in two months at this place, so were not waiting for it to break. Its a much more proactive approach instead of reactive approach. Commissioner anderson i looked into the contract and one is training. Who is going to be trained . Thats a very important question, actually. At first Capital Planning staff is going to be trained first to be able to use this data. We also intend to train our sort of operation staff, including structure maintenance staff, who are going to be using the data also. In addition, also, operations staff also. So its a much more sort of comprehensive approach to sort of looking at this data and being able to see that its accessible and transparent. Commissioner anderson thank you so much. President buell commissioner low. Commissioner low the software that we currently have is over ten years old, so its in dire need of upgrade. But i want to ask one question, you mentioned about the sole exception waiver. That was issued . Im sorry . The sole source waiver was issued . Yes. Commissioner low thats all i had. President buell commissioner mcdonnell. Commissioner mcdonnell im excited about this and in full support. Im interested in maybe post assessment. So there is assessment which leads then to prioritization and so i guess i would ask, frankly for the benefit of the commission, i know youre going to bring the findings back, but also an additional step in the process of communicating back out to the general public about those priorities. And this may be in place, so forgive me if it is, but it seems it would be helpful in managing the collective expectations of the public to have that kind of Information Available on an ongoing basis, so when i drive by my favorite park and wonder why my slide isnt fixed, there is a place to go rather than assuming you guys arent listening, you dont care and im being ignored. I dont know if Something Like that is already in place, but i think it could be helpful to manage the collective interests in expectations. I think this is a little bit of a new journey for us. What its full capacity is and how it allows us to communicate oni on an ongoing basis, we have a look. But this will align data to the Community Planning process for the next bond. And in prior bonds, obviously, we go to life safety, seismic and life safety defishes first and then look at different classes of assets and what condition they are. So at least for the bond conversation, it helps us align data to prioritization. In an ongoing effort i do see us also being able to use this to plan for, for example, a lot of the court resurfacing that youre seeing now, are really done less based on data and Life Expectancy than either complaint or frankly general managers observation. And so i think this will give us a tool to engage in better planning. And also make the financial case for the resources that we need. How we how we use the tool to communicate citywide prioritization of different classes of assets is a work in progress, because i dont think we fully understand how the data can be presented in realtime, et cetera. And also, thats a very good question. To speak to that and one of the things that were doing differently this time, is that were actually hiring fulltime staff who will be the custodian of the information. And what i mean by that is that if you came to us and said, toks, how many square feet for asphalt do we have in the park . This is information we can pull up for you and give it to you. This is the type of information that the public will ask and well be able to provide the answer. I would just say in closing, i would encourage toward more data share than not. I know across the city, there is a concern, sometimes legitimized by the more they know the harder it will be for us, i think it will help us the more they know. If they know swings are 82 on the list, it will manage their expectations around scream being the swing. Sure. If you hear screaming about swings, let me know, because those are easy to fix. Will do. Be careful what you ask for. Any Public Comment . First of all, i want to give my condolence to ed lee, because i know ed lee personally for a number of years, 25, 30 years. I knew ed lee before he got into politics. Let me give you a short story. I knew ed lee, the one of the first times i meet him, history. Me and another brother kicking tailbones in this city, the summer came, he said, ace, come to the office, take this paper. You need a job, go down there to 25 ns, we going to get you a job. You think you like politics, go down there, they give you a job. Conedy said, look at 25, i go down there, althoulo and behold is there, the jokester ed lee. The first time back in the paper. Thats how i got my start politically. But then i had been on jack davis, helped elect the first not the first policeman who was that, anyway, so im around. Im here for the city and i be back. Although and behold ed lee wasnt even buried yet. I have somebody i know you all seen it in the paper, they was talking about the resident, heres his legacy, but the next page said, name the name, Justin Herman, after ed lee. To the hell about having that about ed lee, he had nothing to do with the black community. Another thing, you have not one black official say anything about ed lee publicly, because he say all you negros president buell i think were talking about under the rule, you can speak under Public Comment about whatever you like, this is about the agreement. Im going to go there, sir. President buell please do. You messed up my time. President buell ill give you a little more time. Nobody said a damn thing, dont stop me. There is no Justin Herman. I wish i knew that. Im on this case, the bottom line is this agency, made a big egregious mistake on his name. You didnt vote, did you . But bottom line is, i want to know, like all the rest of us black folks, from that time when where does it go from here . Because in the paper, this guy from real estate said name it Justin Herman. Didnt mention about the black people who lost it, so i know it was orchestrated by somebody. Fake news, alternative news. This department, youre responsible, where does it go now . About Justin Herman name. I ace washington declaring, im start ago committee to rename it barack obama. It cannot be challenged. It cannot be denied, it cannot be erased. My name is ace. I have three generations under me. Park and rec, were going to talk. You gave 300,000 to do what . To do what, tear it down and rebuild because the blacks aint going to be there anymore. Ray charles, theyre trying to get rid of you all. My name is ace, congratulations on president buell thank you. Clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners . President buell entertain a motion . Moved and seconded. All those in favor . So moved. Thank you. Clerk before we go to item 8, you can come up, i just need to make one announcement. And that is were going to switch the order of 9 and 10. So well hear the Strategic Plan before the Operational Plan. Were on item 8. Good morning, im gary mccoy, policy and Public Affairs commission, Community Affairs manager with the department. I am here to speak on naming the area known as sharon meadow and Golden Gate Park in Robin Williams. I dont want to repeat what is in the staff report, but highlight that the area known as sharon meadow has not officially been named by the commission and there has been significant press coverage over the last two years since this was brought forward with vast support by many folks and some in this room. Including former mayor willie brown and late mayor ed lee as well. There is no known opposition and i could answer questions. Clerk we have Public Comment. Anyone who would like to speak on this item, come on up. Good morning, commissioners, my name is debbie durst, im the president of the board of comedy day and producer of comedy day.
