OCII, Recreation and Park Department sign 11-month memorandum for first-phase Hunters Point Shipyard park management
Summary
The OCII commission approved an 11-month memorandum of agreement with the Recreation and Park Department to begin management and maintenance of completed Hunters Point Shipyard Phase I parks starting July 1, 2025, using Community Facilities District No. 8 funds.
The Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure voted May 6 to authorize a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to operate and maintain specified parcels in the Hunters Point Shipyard Phase I open-space system.
The MOA, effective July 1, 2025, was approved for a not-to-exceed amount of $981,311 for an 11-month term and will be paid from Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 8 budgeted funds related to the Hunters Point Shipyard redevelopment project area. The commission recorded a 5202F205 roll-call vote in favor (Resolution No. 15-2025).
OCII staff and Recreation and Park general manager Phil Ginsberg and Deputy Director Mark Slutskin told commissioners the short-term MOA is designed to allow the city27s Rec and Park Department to begin operations on the completed hilltop park parcels (phase 1 hilltop sites) while the agencies finalize a longer-term joint facilities and property-transfer package. Ginsberg described a staffing plan that includes six Rec and Park employees deployed to the Shipyard sites (including three full-time gardeners, a custodian and a section supervisor) plus structural-maintenance support, park rangers and permitting and special-events staff.
Mark Slutskin (OCII deputy director) said CFD No. 8 funds are restricted for Shipyard open-space management and that the short MOA gives both agencies time to complete a permanent joint-funding agreement, present enabling legislation to the Board of Supervisors and transfer property in line with the long-range property-management plan and public-trust approvals.
The Rec and Park Commission approved the MOA on April 17; the Hunters Point Shipyard Citizens Advisory Committee supported it in March. OCII staff said the plan includes utility and supplies coverage and that long-term property transfer will require Board of Supervisors action and California State Lands Commission approvals for public-trust responsibilities.
The commission recorded the motion carried with five ayes; staff will return with the joint facilities agreement and related transfer measures for future approvals.
