Director Bob Beck, presenting the draft, said: \"The overall budget is some 7 point, almost $7,400,000 lower than last year's budget.\" He described the three budget buckets and said the authority cost budget is approximately $14,700,000, the city cost budget about $6.4 million and the subsidy budget about $6.1 million (figures as stated in the presentation). Beck said the decrease is largely tied to the pacing of draws from the housing subsidy as several affordable projects moved through predevelopment.

Parks and maintenance: the presentation projected a rise in parks and open‑space maintenance spending as new parks come online. Staff proposed holding TIDA’s annual park subsidy at $1,500,000 (the stated cap) with the remainder expected to come from Community Facility District (CFD) ongoing maintenance funds and other sources; staff indicated a placeholder of roughly $1,000,000 for Rec and Park staffing ramp‑up in late FY26. The presentation included an illustrative multi‑year ramp to about $3.647 million for new parks maintenance by FY27 (figure provided in materials as a projection to be refined).

Board concerns and requests: board members repeatedly asked for more detailed breakdowns of park maintenance and CFD funding sufficiency, the timeline of Rec and Park staffing, and whether the authority will retain enough operational control to set specific rules for individual parks. Director Linda Richardson requested clearer itemization of external subsidies and asked staff to identify city‑level services that could be assumed by city agencies. Several board members raised the Department of Public Health decision to discontinue the island clinic; staff said DPH cited low utilization and a policy change that no longer allowed a single clinician to staff the clinic alone, which doubled operating costs.

Other budget points: staff noted a proposed delay in initiating debt service payments on a submarine cable reimbursement in FY26 (the repayment is expected to be financed later via certificates of participation). Staff also identified one‑time expenditures likely to drop in FY26, such as a planned make‑whole payment for Starview Court as lease‑up completes. The draft budget will be refined with Rec and Park staffing detail and returned to the board in February; the department must submit materials to the city administrator and Mayor’s Office on the city’s budget schedule.

What the board will see next: staff said they will return with a more detailed parks maintenance plan, CFD revenue projections and the Rec and Park management agreement options. Board members asked for a historical comparison of budget estimates and actuals, and staff agreed to provide a line‑by‑line reconciliation for prior fiscal years.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jan 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Treasure Island Development Authority staff presented a draft fiscal‑year 2025–27 budget on Jan. 8, showing authority costs of about $14.7 million, city costs of about $6.4 million and a subsidy budget of about $6.1 million, and noting the total draft is roughly $7.4 million lower than the prior year’s budget.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6687796,"TIDA board backs extending San Francisco park code to Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island parks",1569,1795000,3364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2091497-d195aa0d3e30645e261e3187ea916af9&start=1795&end=3364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2091497-d195aa0d3e30645e261e3187ea916af9/thumbnail_1795000.jpg","/articles/6687796/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/TIDA-board-backs-extending-San-Francisco-park-code-to-Treasure-Island-and-Yerba-Buena-Island-parks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687796-adbe7a2b9a523d7b64b37b1d82d92745/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131131&Signature=U6T~cNNwPWjXMT3g13PpSldgrT1WWZiDQxq5~yy-KUOY8E6osKww92fsP3T2gIrkY48XeibKRaipjE5vOmkH2y2Y7I0koc02S8cRJYO6ndIoxmcgPW4t8c9TMIjijZz1-wesw7e9~a7WhW5fyhWhnT9mtKWvtH5Hep4ypgIlQAeWm0bzldqy~u~Q1LolZwmCd7eyniWL-Tbg8r2etodx-fQVE2el867VFgroutUweP5SYKeGEbDZ~8V0~S1OTa7wNmoKFxCApfu1o5PNhZPRZNlcVvrChbvRu3Ev2KQx5ABYKU5qBDUCKib98bgBaAS5JP50hJmzahWf8Ksi~jEFgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Treasure Island Development Authority board on Jan. 8 voted to forward a resolution recommending that the Recreation and Park Department and the Board of Supervisors amend the San Francisco park code to apply specified park regulations to parks and open spaces on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island.

Peter Somerville of TIDA staff told the board the change would \"extend the park code to properties owned and managed by the Recreation and Park Department and to include under that the TIYBI parks,\" clarifying that the action would not reassign ownership: \"What it does not do is define TIYBI spaces as a park under the jurisdiction and control of the Recreation and Park Commission within the meaning of San Francisco Charter Section 4.113, and it does not remove ownership or jurisdiction over the TIYBI parks and open space from the authority.\"

Why it matters: staff said adopting the existing San Francisco park code for TI/YBI parks would create consistent time, place and manner rules for island parks, align the island’s parks with citywide best practices, and avoid public confusion about permitted conduct. Staff recommended applying Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the park code; Article 7 (the Recreation and Park permitting process for events, film and photos) would not apply at this time and TIDA’s special‑events staff would retain event permitting roles for the immediate future.

Board concerns and protections: several directors pressed staff to ensure TIDA retains operational control over commercial events and the ability to set special rules for specific parks, such as different hours of operation or activity restrictions at Panorama Park. Director Linda Richardson said she wanted to “make sure that, we, meaning the Treasure Island Development Authority, maintains the decision making on the specific policies which govern power parks and open space. ... I think it's the commercial, revenues, the potential of commercial revenues for non profit or for conservancy that is important.”

Staff response and vote: Somerville and Director Bob Beck said the code extension is primarily a rules‑and‑regulations overlay and would not change current TIDA leasing, event or revenue arrangements. Somerville said the city attorney and Rec and Park have been consulted and that Rec and Park expects to introduce a sponsor ordinance to the Board of Supervisors in early 2025. The board motion to recommend the ordinance was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote; the chair announced, “the ayes have it.”

What changes and what stays the same: staff explained that the proposed amendment specifically adds TI/YBI parks to Section 2.01 and amends Section 3.2.1 to allow traversal of parks outside designated park areas where necessary (for example, permitting passage to a residence after hours). The board asked staff to work with the city attorney to ensure TIDA can request targeted code amendments later if needed, and staff said TIDA could pursue its own legislative route if an impasse arose in the future.

Next steps: if the board’s resolution is transmitted, Rec and Park will finalize the ordinance for introduction to the Board of Supervisors; TIDA staff said it will follow up with the city attorney on the board’s concerns about hours, commercial events and enforcement and return with clarification as the ordinance proceeds through the legislative process.","The board voted to recommend that the Recreation and Park Department and the Board of Supervisors amend the San Francisco park code to apply Articles 3–6 to Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island parks; staff said jurisdiction and ownership remain with TIDA and Article 7 event permitting will remain with the authority for now.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6687798,"Treasure Island awarded $20 million EPA grant to fund electric micro‑transit, ferry charging and bike share",271,914000,1185000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2091497-d195aa0d3e30645e261e3187ea916af9&start=914&end=1185","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2091497-d195aa0d3e30645e261e3187ea916af9/thumbnail_914000.jpg","/articles/6687798/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Treasure-Island-awarded-20-million-EPA-grant-to-fund-electric-microtransit-ferry-charging-and-bike-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687798-8d558f5170691d4a3a4cbd26ea1591b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131131&Signature=LYTvfZ~vwTf~quSf0fykfhRMJhjki5KjuUI6zv94YMsrv1y-lwAk6x4U~CtjkHQ-V~JzuqS5I7Byx0KYyh~1cSWepbqJc0tKP~WVkPDhp4GE-KmOcIlbve76s8dXbOewjYIVkRu5hyl9sEZXUO22kpZwpl-3V8FjNkhO48-aEN~YB7jeO9epQmHQ1jYJEvCOKlAyCFOBSGT5bsZuH~rfAGkyVLRWnTxfDK~ya8M7GVIPWJGGooSJUHXm6xSNk1I9iSuqXWQTb5Ow2MdqFTm1LNE0FYxsszVwcZU5wVt5MfQ2RXhJ~EZy0CYq7ICGIATpmXVdLlZo8UwdkUn~4bC~aA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Treasure Island Development Authority board heard on Jan. 8 that the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency (TIMA), with 1 Treasure Island as lead partner, has been awarded a $20,000,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to fund six transportation projects called “Treasure Island Connects.”

The award comes from the EPA’s Community Change Program, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, and will support a three‑year program of projects intended to reduce pollution, expand electric mobility options and build local transportation capacity. Alex Pan, a transportation planner with the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and TIMA, told directors the grant “was obligated in late December and does not have a local match requirement. The grant period of performance is 3 years starting this January, so projects will be completed by December 2027.”

Why it matters: board members said the funding will help connect island residents to jobs and services and is a necessary step toward electrifying ferry service. The projects aim to improve first‑/last‑mile connections from the Treasure Island ferry and broaden options for seniors and residents with limited mobility.

What the grant will fund: presenters and staff described six projects under the Treasure Island Connects umbrella. Those named in the briefing were:
- An on‑demand, all‑electric micro‑transit pilot to serve destinations in San Francisco beyond the Salesforce Transit Center (examples given: UCSF, grocery stores and community services).
- A free on‑demand shuttle serving Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island.
- Enhanced Muni service on the 25 line and procurement of a battery‑electric bus for that route.
- Construction of electric charging infrastructure at the Treasure Island ferry terminal to enable battery‑electric ferry operations.
- Expansion of the Bay Wheels bike share system to Treasure Island.
- A Transportation Resource Center (TRC) operated by 1 Treasure Island to combine community ambassadors, travel training and marketing of affordable transit options.

Nela Gonzalez, executive director of 1 Treasure Island, said the grant will also fund a five‑person community ambassador program and other outreach: \"We're very excited to work with the SFCTA to roll out this project.\"

Panelists described next steps as drafting and signing subaward agreements with partners (1 Treasure Island, SFMTA and WETA), conducting public outreach this winter to set service parameters and procuring operators and service providers with a target launch of services in 12 to 18 months. The EPA grant requires projects to be completed by December 2027.

Board questions and follow‑up: board members asked how the new funding relates to prior federal grants, including an earlier pilot for an autonomous shuttle. Rachel Hyatt, deputy director for planning at the SFCTA, said the autonomous‑shuttle demonstration concluded and the new EPA‑funded micro‑transit will replace that service. When asked whether the ferry charging work is funding for construction or only study and design, staff answered plainly: “No. This is funding for the infrastructure itself.”

Directors pressed staff to ensure micro‑transit and the TRC serve riders arriving by ferry and to consider accessibility for seniors and people with disabilities. Staff said they are coordinating to site the Transportation Resource Center near the ferry and bus stops so arriving passengers see it immediately. Nela Gonzalez added that ambassadors will help greet and direct riders.

Timing and sustainability: presenters said the EPA grant has no local match and is not expected to provide permanent ongoing operating revenue. When board members asked whether the micro‑transit would continue after three years, staff said additional funding would be required and that the program will pursue other funding sources and integration with planned congestion management revenues.

What the board will see next: staff said they will return with details on subaward agreements, outreach results and procurement schedules as the TIMA/1 Treasure Island teams set service parameters and prepare launches.","The Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency and 1 Treasure Island won a $20 million EPA Community Change grant to fund six projects — including electric micro‑transit, a free on‑island shuttle, ferry charging infrastructure and Bay Wheels expansion — to be delivered by December 2027.","actionData","errors"]
