VI. Director's Report:
a) Noted the change of meeting venue for the record and acknowledged that the Bayview-Hunter’s Point Project Area Committee (BVHP-PAC) requested to use the Alex L. Pitcher, Jr. Community Room for their Annual Meeting where they planned to unveil the Redevelopment Area Concept Plan. Since their meeting was expected to draw a larger audience the Executive Director was kind enough to exchange rooms for this special occasion.
b) The HVAC Retrofit and Upgrade Project has progressed to the point where the Contractor will be able to finish testing and balancing the system beginning next week. Then the Contractor will train staff in operation and maintenance of the system. Since additional BBR work has been charged against the Southeast Community Facility Commission's Maintenance & Repair budget in the absence of identification of other funding, the M&R funding for the remainder of the fiscal year is in jeopardy if replacement funding is not designated.
c) ADA Handicap parking lot access to Facility: Things are a little congested until the project is completed, which if the weather holds should be very soon. Once the handicapped parking stalls are re-assigned/‘re-painted', Commissioners will be issued parking permits.
d) FY2001-02 Budget: request has made it thru PUC's scrutiny and now proceeds to the Mayor's Office (Budget Analyst's, then to the Board of Supervisors, before going to the Controller's); Commission will be kept abreast;
e) PUC will host their annual employees awards luncheon on Mon. March 5 in the Community Room;
f) Assemblywoman Carol Migden honored four community personages at a Black History month celebration held Friday, March 2 in the Community Room. Two awardees were Commissioner Enola Maxwell, and the Southeast Community Facility Commission's Executive Director, Toye Moses;
g) Reminder: Mayor Brown will swear in two Commissioners to fill the vacancies on the Southeast Community Facility Commission on Friday, April 9 at 4:30 pm in Board Chambers at City Hall.
Commissioner Brown moved and Commissioner Hardin seconded to accept the Communications and the Director's Report as read by the Commission Secretary. Motion passed.
VII: Presentation: DPW Public Relations Director, Alex Mamak came to update the Commission on the clean sweep effort in District 10 - Mr. Mamak began by explaining that a new program is being implemented to keep the City clean and has been kicked-off in the District 10, the Hunter's Point. DPW's new Deputy Director of Operations overseeing street cleaning is Mohammad Nuru who comes to the City from the SLUG program and as a landscape architect.
A ‘Clean City Summit', the first of its kind in the City (of San Francisco) was recently completed with about 300 attendees representing about 720 organizations galvanized around the issues of "how to keep the streets clean, the buildings graffiti-free and plant new trees through-out our neighborhoods". The summit centered around nine work shops (i.e. Getting Youth Involved, Keeping Buildings Graffiti-free, The Impact of Tourism and Litter) resulting in the development of several policy recommendations (including youth involvement, tourism/litter, Community/neighborhood involvement) which was presented to the Mayor's for implementation in the form of an Action Plan.
This Action Plan set up the Community Clean Team (CCT) and replaced the Great Sweep Program city-wide. The CCT focuses on District participation over the course of a month rather than the entire City over one day. Community residents and local neighborhood businesses will be more involved. For starters in District 10, Supervisor Maxwell kicked-off the program at the Bayview Opera House on Third Street and new trees will be planted at the end of Third St. Unfortunately the graffiti-free and park clean-up weekends were rained out, but sidewalk steam cleaning on San Bruno Avenue is still planned for this coming weekend.
Other activities included: T-shirt, refreshment, and literature distribution, 800 tons of illegal dumping were identified and ticketed, the establishment of a designated central phone number to call for any "litter" issue (overflow cans, ‘hot spots' such as pot holes, graffiti, tree planting, etc.): "28 CLEAN" and, the revival of an umbrella organization, Clean City Coalition supported by businesses (PacBell, Michelin, Walgreens) and other Community-based non-profit organizations (donation of ‘clean machines" and funding).
Mr. Mamak invited the Commission out to participate in upcoming Community Clean Team activities, thanked them for the invitation to present and promised to keep them updated.
VIII. Introduction of New Business: None presented at this meeting.
IX. Adjournment:
Commissioner Hardin moved and Commissioner Nguyen seconded to adjourn the SECFCommission meeting at 7:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted: _________________________
