Discover Polk will improve our community with accountability

28 Feb Discover Polk will improve our community with accountability

The Discover Polk CBD will offer greater citizen involvement in our community. Democratic accountability is built into the bylaws of the CBD in the form of board and committee membership. We will have greater voice in City Hall to lobby for the services we need and our neighborhood deserves.

One of the legal requirements of the CBD Board and leadership is specific, regular reporting to the Board of Supervisors on performance metrics, including but not limited to:

1. Total amount of trash collected (in pounds)

2. Total number of instances of graffiti removed or addressed

3. Total  linear frontage steam cleaned

4. Total number of calls addressed regarding cleaning

5. Total number of calls addressed regarding public safety

6. Total number of commercial vacancies (including address, APN, property owner contact information, square footage and last known use)

This accountability is reciprocal: CBD leadership will meet regularly with  City services (SFPD, Public Works, Department of Homelessness) to review service delivery and community satisfaction.
