FY 18-19 Annual Report
YERBA BUENA DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED YBCBD ANNUAL REPORT 2018–2019 DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED Dear Friends and Neighbors, ARTIST JR CREATES AN ORIGINAL MURAL IN YERBA BUENA It’s certain that residents, workers, and visitors to Yerba Buena will experience something new, exciting, and inspiring. The neighborhood’s tapestry is one of renown museums and galleries, landscaped gardens, and major convention facilities. There are unique places to dine, shop, and play. Amid all of this is an exhibition of public art, culinary and architectural excellence, and CITY AT NIGHT: YERBA BUENA UNDER A FULL MOON entertainment offerings unique to the city. To sustain and improve Yerba Buena’s unique characteristics, the YBCBD provides services to help make the neighborhood cleaner, safer, and even more inviting. Thank you to all who help us make Yerba Buena an exceptional place for people of all ages and backgrounds. It’s been an exciting and productive year. We’re thrilled that public art and artistry in the neighborhood grew to new heights — adding to unexpected moments of inspiration and wonder. As part of the Moscone Center expansion, there are now several new works of public art in and around the Moscone Center and Yerba Buena Gardens. The new collection augments major works that the YBCBD helped bring to the neighborhood. Yerba Buena’s ingenuity also extends to its renowned restaurants, architecture, and landscaped spaces. It is reflected in the hundreds of different performances each year of the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, at the YBCBD’s annual Yerba Buena Night of music, dance and performance, and at our monthly theatrical neighborhood walks. -

Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo Project Scope Methodology
Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo INTRODUCTION The Budget Analyst of the City and County of San Francisco has performed this Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo (the “Zoo”) pursuant to direction received from the Board of Supervisors under the authority granted by Charter Section 2.114. Project Scope The scope of this performance audit included a comprehensive audit survey and selection of specific subject areas for detailed examination and analysis. The specific areas addressed in the performance audit are shown in the Table of Contents. Section 1.1 of the report, “Animal Management and Care,” is the most detailed, accounting for a little less than one-fifth of the entire report. Section 1.1 also includes an examination and evaluation of the animal care afforded the bison located in Golden Gate Park in a facility under the control of the Recreation and Park Department. Methodology This Performance Audit of the Zoo was performed in accordance with standards developed by the United States General Accounting Office, as published in Government Auditing Standards, 1994 Revision by the Comptroller General of the United States. Accordingly, this performance audit included the following basic elements in its planning and implementation: Entrance Conference: An entrance conference was conducted with the Zoo Director and management staff to discuss the performance audit scope, procedures, and protocol. Pre-Audit Survey: A pre-audit survey was conducted to familiarize the performance audit staff with the operations of the Zoo, interview upper management, and collect basic documentation regarding Zoo operations. As a result of the work completed as part of this pre-audit survey, areas of Zoo operations requiring additional review and analysis were identified. -
12 Short Histories of the Bison in Golden Gate Park 1 If You Walk
“When we choose a plot to order our environmental stories we give them a unity that neither nature nor the past possesses.” -- William Cronon “We have had our historians, too, and they have held over the dark backward of time their divining rods and conjured out of it what they wanted.” --Van Wyk Brooks 12 Short Histories of the Bison in Golden Gate Park 1 If you walk westward through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, along John F. Kennedy Drive, and walk past the Victorian cupcake of the arboretum, past the cement rectangle where people roller skate in short shorts to a staticky boombox, past the copper facade of the deYoung museum, past the waterfall, past the meadows where people gather for soccer matches and family reunions and Renaissance fairs, you will find the bison. The further away you move away from the park’s entrance, the more the manicured landscape surrounding the park’s main buildings buckles and dissolves into something more improvisational. The park’s eucalyptus trees, steadfast since they were first planted in their determination to kill every plant not themselves, let loose drifts of fragrant, acid leaves. The hand of gardner is undone by the hand of gopher and the smooth green turf laid down for the benefit of soccer leagues is pocked with busy holes ringed with coronas of freshly kicked dirt. And so you will have to look. It is not a landscape that invites lingering and the bison - or buffalo, which is taxonomically inaccurate but which it still somehow feels correct to call them - are easy to miss. -
