And future projects that we have in our pipeline that is expected to be done between now and three years from now. This table lists by name the neighborhood and the district. This table also cross references to three of our Strategic Plan initiatives, the status of all the current projects and the projected timeline. This next slide sort of highlights some of our Capital Projects that are ongoing now. One which is very important to us is the carbon, india basin is another one. Garfield pool is another highlighted project here. Finally, this slide sort of provides an overview of the Equity Analysis as provided by the charter language. Im proud of the work we are doing in this effort. Thanks to phils leadership on this and taylor. The top table sort of highlights the capital plan initiatives that specifically address equity. All of this equity initiatives are currently ongoing and include planning for building new parks in high needs and growing areas. Collaborating on the civic center initiative. India basin is another one. In addition to the equity metrics, our equity metrics we use to evaluate the departments Capital Expenditure plan as a whole. This sort of illustrates our commitment to the equity zones. I want to emphasize in this slide, as you see, 53 of the departments total Capital Assets are in equity zones. 88,000 for one thousand people in equity zones compared to about 31,000 for the rest of the city.

[all ayed] that was really impressive, scott. [laughter] secretary next item is item 12, recreation and Park Department budget fiscal year 201819 and 20192020. Good morning. My name is derek chu. This is my first time presenting before you. So, im very excited to get with this presentation. Im here today to present and discussion the recreation and Park Departments budget for fiscal years 201819 and 201920. The citys budget process has begun and were here to talk about the current budget outlook as well as where were progressing in our development of the budgets for 1819 and 1920. Currently, the citys budget outlook is mixed. Revenues continue to be strong, but the citys expenditure budget is growing and outpacing the revenue budget, resulting in a deficit of 88. 2 million and a budget year plus one deficit of 174 million. This is resulting in the Mayors Office calling for Budget Reductions across general Fund Departments as well as asking all departments to absorb all Cost Increases and not allowing for any additional growth in department budgets. Fortunately, due to proposition b, the department is not required to meet the Budget Reduction targets for the next two fiscal years. The budget the department will continue to budget 15 million in general funds to support capital and deferred maintenance projects and the department will use new revenue and year over year revenue increases to cover costs and enhance the budget. So, as i noted, the department will absorb all Cost Increases using revenue increases as well as cost deficiency savings. The budget includes 3 on salaries in both years healthcare costs will rise. Salary increases are 12 in budget year and 4 in the budge year plus one. We are assuming average year of 2 increases in work order budgets to other departments. So, to put our current year budget in context, our budget is 221. 5 million. It is comprised of 162 million in operating budget and 60 million in the capital budget. Our person innocent positions budgeted are 954. Permanent positions budgeted are 954. So, our budget is made up of three funding sources. The open space fund, which continues to grow, making the open space fund a very vital part of the component of our budget revenues. We also have general Fund Subsidies from the city, which will grow by 3 million per proposition b and other expenditures that the mayor added. We also have earned income and bond funds as part of our overall budget. And this details some of the highlights in our earned revenue line items, including garages, program fees, concessions, permits, golf and the bond funds at the bottom. I would note that if you are looking at the memo that i provided, there is a typo in the table and its corrected here on this presentation. Again, by way of context, as a department our main goal is to deliver services and to ensure that we use our money efficiently, our resources efficiently. As you can see from this chart, 47 of our Personnel Resources are put in park maintenance. 26 is in recreation and aqua c aquatics. As you look through the other slices with a fairly small amount in administration, with a focus on getting direct services to our visitors to our parks and facilities. This chart shows the breakdown of where our funding is. The vast majority of our funding is supporting salaries and benefits for our recreation staff and our park staff, our maintenance staff. As always, our Strategic Plan guides our thinking and our commitment to meeting the goals and the mission of the Strategic Plan as well as the Operational Plan and the capital plan. And per proposition b, we also look through the lens of equity, using equity metrics which was mentioned earlier, just to ensure that low income neighborhoods and disadvantaged communities dont to receive resources, services, enhanced services so that they too can thrive along with the entire city. So, the department is looking at growing program revenue, looking at the open space fund and looking at leases and concessions as ways to grow our budget so that we can continue to enhance our existing budget and services that were providing. Were also looking at cost deficient says as far as utility usage. It was mentioned our decreasing use of water, our use of power and electricity. Were also working with the department of technology on using city Wide Technology to create efficiencies within our department. As always, we are going to be providing a great amount of outreach to the community, working with our partners, working with our Community Advocates and supporters in the field. We will have two public budget meetings as was previously meeting. One at Betty Ong Rec Center on february 1st and one at eng l Ingleside Police department on february 8th. We have a staff Brown Bag Lunch scheduled, prozac meeting scheduled as well as other meetings as requested from our community. The next slide shows you our timeline. Were here before you today to present an overview of our budget planning. Over the next several weeks, we will have the community meetings. Our budget is due to the Mayors Office on february 21st. And on june 1st, the Mayors Office will present the budget to the board of supervisors. So, again, i will be back on february 15th with the full budget plan for consideration. I want to give thanks to maria sutton, our finance manager and alex, our budget director. Im new. This is my seventh month and its truly a team effort from top to bottom. And thank you. President buell thank you very much, derek. May we get Public Comment and then we can see if commissioners have any comment. Secretary is there any Public Comment on this item . Being none, Public Comment is closed. President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison is there any projected savings from using the filtered water versus the fresh water in irrigating our parks . Yeah. Down the road there will be cost savings and efficiencies we will realize. We are still in talks with the answer is bye bye using less water we actually do save money. But reclaimed water, recycled water is not necessarily a cost savings yet because its new technology and new processing. So, i dont think i expect us to achieve commissioner harrison will it be even . I think its a little too soon to tell, commissioner harrison. Golden gate park wont be on line until 2021. It is possible we could actually take a look and see whether we could do a apples to apples analysis where we are using reclaimed water. It is hard to do the comparisons side by side. Old versus new. But i dont anticipate that to be a huge cost savings. Commissioner harrison thank you. Just curious. President buell mr. Ginsburg, did you have other comments . Yeah. It is related to this budget process that there is a Charter Amendment that is at the board of supervisors being discussed that addresses city baselines. Were not the only which we have, which is under both the open space fund and proposition b. Proposition b was a modification to our open space funds. For purposes of talking about this, the open space fund is our baseline. The dignity for aging and Adult Services and a variety of others that sponsors of the proposed Charter Amendment of supervisor peskin and supervisor tang. There have been theyre collecting feedback. Obviously theres a fiscal debate about what is the appropriate amount of Discretionary Authority in the budget process and how many our set asides and baseline good. This is a debate that has gone on since the beginning of time i think. So, as originally drafted, it had some pretty potential serious impact. I think it still needs some more work and i know there are a lot of Community Organizations paying attention to this. I thought the commission should be aware of it. For us, i think one amendment that was made yesterday is very significant is that unspent funds in our open space fund can be carried over from year to year for investment in capital purposes. Thats what we use those Fund Balances for. In a world of increasing cost escalation in our Capital Projects where at the time we do the planning we think the park is 20. 04 years later we are looking 20 million and, four years later we are looking at something different. Those Fund Balances are really important to us. And so, im relieved that it appears that that is no longer on the table. That is a trigger which is very similar to the current one which in proposition b that says in the joint report if theres a deficit exceeding the indexed equivalent of 200 million as of a fixed date, that number doesnt remain constant, it grows as the budget grows, that based on amounts may not be increased. So, it gives our baseline as op proposition b grows by 3 million a year. If there were that trigger of a deficit, it would be a policy call up to the mayor whether or not to add to our to grow our baseline by 3 million. Our baseline that is in our current language. So, it is not new. This is something the Mayors Office felt strong about during prop b and there are baselines that look different for different departments all over the city. Theres a lot of them out there now. Our baseline is such that we are expected to absorb our own salary Cost Increases related to salary. So, that would stink if our baseline were not increased by what is a modest amount that barely keeps up with the increased cost of government. I just wanted to let you know what is out there. It is still being discussed and debated. It is certainly possible that that could end up on the ballot. President buell thank you. Commissioner mazzola. Commissioner mazzola just to two questions. Im assuming the fiscal year is june 1st to july 30th . Right. Commissioner mazzola is that realized in the budget . It is not really a significant revenue generator that would make dereks top line. We would do it more to provide increase enjoyment to the community and my recreation staff is interested in doing it as i mentioned to you at the time. The challenges are making sure we can Fund Security and overtime related to that event by keeping things for overnight. But it is something we have a desire to do. Either way, its probably at the level that youll see the budget probably not a top line. But still wed like to do it. Commissioner mazzola got it. Thank you. Sure. President buell commissioner bonilla. Go ahead. Commissioner bonilla are we anticipating having the same level of park patrols and gardeners in this budget or do you think there will be an opportunity to increase those positions anywhere along the way . At this point were maintaining current levels but there is opportunity to look at potential increases. As i mentioned, the mayors Budget Office has said no new position, which means we would be looking at alternatives, substituting positions for new positions. But its still policy call that the executive team is looking at. Commissioner bonilla thats why i asked the question. I dont see a lot of position growth in this budget. I do think we may an opportunity to actually turn down our attrition savings if we have any extra funding, which would allow us to fill vacant positions more quickly. All departments are actually expected to keep a certain number of positions vacant to meet that attrition savings goal. But i dont think this is a budget that is going to see a lot of programmatic investment taking all of our available resources and doing what we can to invest in deferred maintenance and capital. As much as i would love to tell you other wise, i still think were done pretty well weve done pretty well. We are probably 40 rangers short. We can always use more gardeners and rec staff. But what derek alluded to is that were starting to see some different Economic Indicators and all departments are expected to be cautious. Commissioner bonilla thank you. President buell derek, i have one question. On page three. Paid parking is the age number that really decreases about 15 down. Whats the genesis of that . There were issues with construction at several of our garages. So, we had to accommodate. President buell union square . Most notably union square. It is a little early. We are still looking at next years revenue and theres the potential for increase. President buell go back up. Thank you. And thank you for your nine months worth of work seven months. President buell yeah. Thank you very much. Commissioner bonilla good work. Secretary that was discussion only. So, were now on item 13, general Public Comment continued from item four. If you did not speak on item four and you would like to speak on item 13, please do come up. Public thank you commissioners, for letting me come back. I want to add to the issue commissioner low brought up about collaborating with other departments. In soma, we are concerned about the central soma plan, if it is adopted. It has a great deal of money. I think its over 70 million but i dont recall the exact number set aside for open space. The plan has written into it some of the intentions of planning to spend that money. I think its really, really important and ive talked to mr. Ginsburg about this. Its very important that park and reck has input on how that money is allocated because in the past some of the development plans, park and rec has not had a voice. So, weve got other open space that is not what the Community Needs or wants. So, i think its really important that we collaborate with other departments. The central soma plan is enormous and it will have enormous impact. Some of this money, its a very large amount of money, could be allocated to things that we dont really want. Its creating a very large park potentially over at 5th and bryant over by the tennis club. Again, thats a neighborhood thats coming, but it really doesnt serve the people that live there now. Its part of that ring thats been created around the middle. I just want to reiterate i think its real important. Phil, i think we agree on this, that park and rec has a strong voice collaborating with other departments. Thank you. President buell thank you. Secretary is there any other general Public Comment . Being none, this item is closed. We are now on item 14. Closed session. I believe we have one card and that is kevin sullivan. And again, as a reminder, you have three minutes. Public good morning, im kevin su
