Tenderloin CBD reports tens of thousands of cleanups and plans governance fixes
Summary
The Committee forwarded the Tenderloin (North of Market) Community Benefit District annual reports after hearing that the CBD removed about 51,000 bags of litter, nearly 5,000 graffiti incidents and roughly 9,500 needles over the review period and is undertaking internal audits and governance improvements.
The Government and Oversight Committee on April 16, 2015 voted to forward the North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District annual reports for fiscal years 2010–2013 to the full Board with a positive recommendation.
OEWD reported that the district assesses 675 parcels, had an assessment budget of about $981,000, was formed in February 2005 and is set to expire on June 30, 2020. OEWD and Tenderloin leaders acknowledged organizational and reporting weaknesses raised during the review period and said technical assistance and governance changes are underway.
Susie McKinnon, interim director of the district, described systematic cleaning operations (twice‑daily sweeping, monthly power washing and spot hot‑spot cleaning), transitional employment opportunities through the service provider San Francisco Clean City, and a series of public‑realm projects including tree plantings, banners, murals and public‑toilet access initiatives.
McKinnon summarized three years of outputs: more than 51,000 bags of litter removed, nearly 5,000 graffiti incidents abated and approximately 9,500 hypodermic needles disposed. She also said the district completed an internal audit and is working with UC Hastings College of the Law students on bylaw and policy updates; the district is rebranding to shorter, public‑facing name "Tenderloin Community Benefit District" and expects a new website soon. The Committee moved and passed a motion to forward the item to the full Board.
