11.5 million affective approval of this resolution. madam chair. >> thank you and today we have the department of disability and agent services here. thank you. >> thank you. good morning, supervisors my name is tiffany concerny i'm the lead nutritionist. we're seeking approval for the grant agreement for home delivered nutrition services for older adults. this amendment increases the grant by approximately 1.2 million dollars and will support about 82,500 more meals between this fiscal year and

next. self-help provides a wide range of services for older adults. they are a valued community partner with extensive experience serving san francisco seniors. today, they are known for providing essential and cultural relevant services for the city asian population which includes the delivery of healthy chinese cuisine meals to home bound seniors. last yae, self-help delivered over 246,000 meals to 1100 plus klientsds compared to fiscal year 18-19. that's almost three and a half times more meals to three times for clients in five years. the pandemic and its lasting impact are notable factors contributing to the elevated service levels i just described. however, seniors are also the

fastest growing age group in san francisco with the api population experiencing the most growth. the senior api population is now the largest ratio ethnic sub group of older adults in the city at 44% making self-help for the elderly a preferred and responsive service provider for many more seniors. currently, 90% of self-help home delivered clients identify as chinese. in addition 70% report income levels at or below the poverty line putting them at increased risk for food insecurities. san francisco department of public health recently published the 2023 biannual equity report tha. report notes that food insecurities raitsds in community programs are up.

however the report also notes that clients who participate in congregate and home delivered programs like the one before you today have lower food insecurity rates compared to clients who participate in other city funded and community programs reinforces that dos is funded meal programs are affective at addressing food and security. like all the nutrition contracts, the self-help grant has compliance and quality requirement. these requirement are essential in ensuring the health and safety of older adults and help meet the needs of our consumers more completely through inhome assessments, nutrition and security screenings, nutrition education and referrals. menus are evaluated to ensure the meals are healthy and taylor to see meet the nutritional needs of older

adults. these requirements also include food safety and sanitation monitoring which is extremely important when providing meals to at-risk populations. self-help is monitored ob annual basis and they've been monitored every year at least in the time that i've been with the department and they're always in compliance. self-help is one of many responding to the needs of older adults living in the community with the resources available. this amendment will provide self-help with the additional funding need today deliver critical nutrition support to eligible clients for the remainder of this year and next. thank you very much, and i'm happy to answer any questions you may have at this time.

>> good morning supervisors, item 1 is a resolution approving to grant amendment for the self-help for the elderly it ads 11.9 million dollars to the grant agreement and this grant funds home delivered meals that self-help operates. this is essentially adding fund thating hsa found and other funds to increase nutrition assistance this year and next year. with detailed on page 8 on the report. and we reviewed the program monitoring reports and financial compliance report and did not see any issues so we recommend approval of item 1.

>> thank you, we appreciate all the work that boss is doing and agent services are doing. at this time we don't have any questions, look forward to having a big picture conversation with hs a and dos but also with the mayor's office of course really food security in general and how do we continue to fund these critical services with the fact that we see there is diminishing reports both on the federal level as well as the state level including cal fresh. so what we, i only see the increasing needs in our city. continuing on the asian population and continuing to increase in the next few years. i would like to better understand while i appreciate,

of course the self-help and with this grant, you know, grant agreement but this is you know, coming up for a amendments for a few times now. so just kind of look forward to seeing what else we're doing cohesively. so thank you. and with that, let's go to public comment on this item. >> yes, we now invite members of the public who joined us today who wish to speak on this item to line up now and address the committee on this item. madam chair, we have no speakers. >> thank you, seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. colleagues i would like to move this item to full board with recommendation. with that roll call, please. >> clerk: vice chair. mandelman. >> aye. >> melgar. >> aye. >> chair chan. >> aye. >>. >> clerk: chair aye, we have three ayes. >> thank you and the motion passes. and mr. clerk, please call item 2 and 3 to theding.

>> clerk: yes, item 2 and 3, item 2 is a resolution approving the infrastructure financing plan for the san francisco enhanced infrastructure financing district number 1, acquisition and financing agreement and documents and actions related there too and authoring the filing of validation action. item number 3 is an ordinance between the city and county and california barrel company llc for the potrero power station project. establishment of san francisco financing district number 1. making findings under the environmental act and findings of conformity with a general plan and planning code, madam chair. >> thank you, and i just want to remind the public that actually first of all, we want

to acknowledge supervisor from walton in the chamber and acknowledge that supervisor myrna melgar and i are in the eifd body that oversights this plan as well along with supervisor walton. so this was before us a couple of weeks ago, at least among the three of us. and one of the item, item 3 was formally at land use where supervisor melgar chairs. i thought it efficient to have both items together since both of us are on this body and we can hear it together is the reason why item 3 development agreement will go to a land use committee but now it's here with us. soy want to give the floor if it's the okay with the department and i want to make sure that we give supervisor walton the opportunity for opening remarks for this item.

>> thank you, so much chair and colleagues. i want to briefly speak about items 2 and 3 over the past year, number 1 has met to oversee the creation of the power station inhansed financing district also known as the eid, po to* fund public infrastructure and projects of community significance. like chair chan stated along with supervisor melgar and peskin as appointed members and keith and captain domeni we had four meetings including two public hearings on the infrastructure, financing plan and thts first of several projects to be funded to address the shortfall financing. the power station has been a significant site for district 10 in san francisco and is the future home of up to 2600 new residential units with 30% affordable.

as well as 1.6 million commercial space. the first building will have 105 affordable units for workforce housing and named after our former district supervisor sophie maxwell who actually lead the charge to shut down power plants in district 10. i would like to thank lee, our deputy director from owd. our controllers office of public finance, specifically grant carson, bridget cats and our deputy city attorney mark for helping us today. i just want to note that we're excited to move forward with this project and i hope my colleagues on this committee and the board will be just as excited. thank you so much, chair chan. >> thank you and here we are, we have to controllers office of public finance here. >> good morning, chair chan, vice chair, supervisor melgar and walton.

i'm a debt specialist in the control office of public finance, pleasure to be speaking with you today. i'm also joined by oawd to answer any questions you may have. to begin with a brief overview, we're here to begin the formation process. in april 2020, the board of supervisors proved the original development agreement for the power state project then in march of 2023, the board of supervisors kicked off the process by approving a resolution of intention to establish the eifd. in june 2023, the city public financing authority number 1 or the psa was formed. then from july 2023, through february 20 this, psa held four meetings including two public

hearings on ifp for the power station eifd. the power station project is a large scale development on the eastern water front just south of pier 70. the city goal of proposing the establishment, is to help address a shortfall and financing for facilities related to the project. a project that has community wide significance and provide significant affordable. the project is planned for 2600 units, 26% which would be affordable and provides 7 acres of public parks and water front.

describing ifp for fiscal 2023 base value of the district is 139 million. after providing for future en nraition the total amount of conditional tax revenue does

not exceed 3.6 billion respectively. based on analysis of fiscal impact the statemented city channel fund is 15.1 million dollars. please note that there is been an update from the version of the ifp currently on file. however, there is no change to the not to exceed figure showing here on the page. finally we've laid out the current schedule here, assuming successful passage of the resolution through the board or final step to hold a final public hearing scheduled for march 28th. as i mentioned i'm joined by representatives from oawd. >> i think we're going to go to item 3 and then we'll go to the bla report for item 2. >> thank you, supervisor item 3 is associated with item 2.

it's the amendment of the project development agreement to update the financing plan exhibit for that project. when the project was approved to include the terms and conditions around how the city will use this eifd to fund the improvements in the project. thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning supervisors. item 2 this is a resolution to approve an infrastructure plan for our enhanced infrastructure district number 1 for the potrero power station. the purpose of the district is to divert property tax revenue that would otherwise go to the general fund to fund general infrastructure in that area. diverts is 58% of the city's property taxes to fund that infrastructure which we show on

page 18 of our report. the cost is estimated at 548 million dollars that the city can contribute more based on, it can contribute up to 58% of the projected property tax increment. as was noted the development agreement that was originally approved by the board of supervisors did not contemplate using property taxes to fund the infrastructure that was the responsibility of the developer. it will did come ten plate using taxes, so this is a significant change in the public financing for this project. and it's, the city's funding 100% of the public infrastructure and affordable housing that was previously going to be funded by the developer. we did get some statistics from

oawd that possibly suggest that this project is no longer financial feasible. we cannot validate their analysis on that determination based on the information that they provided. i also want to note that this infrastructure is going to improve all the market uses within the area and there is zero cost from the developers. so i do think this is a significant change. it's also the first time the board has used an enhanced infrastructure district. so for all of those reasons we're consider approval of this item to be a policy for the board. >> thank you, before i call on -- ~>> one last thing. >> go ahead. vice chairman del man, please. >> i was going ask if oawp can respond to these concerns. >> yes, absolutely. thank you.

so i just wanted to respond to a couple of those items. prior to form eifd last spring, the city performed economics as typical and analyzed as a new financing tool. with this tool, the project is closer to feasibility and over the last year, the developer has enhance thed the project accordingly as supervisor walton mentioned with the ground break of the first housing project. to the can september that this tool is paying for 1100 percent of infrastructure just for the record to clarify, the developer in fact, bears the responsibility to pay for 100 percent of the improvement and affordable housing that they're obligated to provide. and eifd will generate revenue

if and only when there is an incrementle taxes generated. per our city policy, the eifd will donate 40 percent to this use with the other 50 percent of any incremental property going to the city's general fund. the city will issue fund. >> can you explain what incremental property tax right side? >> yes, absolutely. we have set a base year of 2023-24 and the property taxes right now na are assesses constitute that base year value. so that amount of property tax that is flowing to the city this year will always continue to flow to the city. so that's the base, any increases in property taxes that are assessed, as new development comes online in the project, of that increment, 50% of that will be dedicated to this district and available to

reimburse for these improvements. the other 50% will be going to the general fund. the state program does allow the district's to be forms to allow 100 percent of that increment to go to the district. as you may recall, last year we updated the city's policy for use of ifd and affirm that we would only dedicate 50% as sort of a conservative fiscal measure to ensure that the city is always generating new general fund increment from these projects. >> thank you. i, i think i if i may this and of course, i really differ to supervisor walton from his thoughts on this, but i really believe that in the area that san francisco as a city government has historically under served this neighborhood including the infrastructure

that really should be built in the past generation. so i think that the eifd is a great mechanism and tool to continue to invest in this area and to ensure that they will be coming back. and probably really should, actually it should continue to invest in the infrastructure to make sure that the area is livable, truly livable for the rest and not already there but to continue to welcome new residents. so i am in support of this vice chair mandelman. >> i'll jump in unless supervisor walton. >> i was just going to say i 100 percent agree with chair chan if you look at the affordable housing numbers and housing numbers in general, the goals that we have to meet as a

city. this a proj thaekt will yield 2000 units, closer to 3000 at the end and opportunity for commercial space and so many community benefits for our community. so, you know, access to the water, more retail, there is going to be more open space public space and just a number of affordable housing number that we push to generate and we stepped up and made sure that they give 30 percent goal. this gives us a tool to utilize a project that we have not used in the past and we have to meet the goals that are set here for us by the state. i'm excited by this and i think the rest of the city should be too. >> vice chair mandelman. >> i just want to say, this is not all that novel, this looks like redevelopment and

redevelopment financing mechanism which we no longer have available to us but it's kind of replicating that. the notion there is that there is a area that could be developed and housing activity but it's not going to happen without an investment of infrastructure and so. that property tax increment would not come in but for the investment that is going in. so it's therefore reasonable to say that half of that money that comes in could be used to pay back, to pay the developer back for the public infrastructure that is going to be going into that project. with half that would not be coming in. so the general fund is still better off for this investment. and so, i think you know, given that these projects seem to need this additional help in

the post redevelopment era, i'm grateful to owd and controllers office and the city financial folks for trying to figure out how to help these projects go forward. i think this is good. if the supervisor is looking for cosponsors, i'm glad to be a cosponsor on here and thanks everybody. >> i think that the concept is the same but the mechanics of this legislation are different. i'm grateful that we're doing this and i think that we're going to do it more. there is all kinds of infrastructure that we need to update around our city, not just areas that are under invested in because we have climate change and electrification that mandates. there is a lot of things infrastructure issues that we need to advance in order to you

know, make way for the next generation. so i'm really grateful that we are, that this is the first project that we're using it in. for all the reasons that supervisor walton stated. i hope that we take advantage of this, you know, tool, to do all of the things that we need to do. thank you. and i would like to be a cosponsor too, i think i am already. thank you. >> thank you and with that, let's go to public comment on these two items. >> clerk: yes, madam chair, members of the public who joined us and wish to speak on both of these items, 2 and 3 now is your opportunity to address this committee regarding both of these items. when you begin, i'll start your time. >> speaker: i'm jude, a long time potrero hill resident and active member of lots of

neighborhood organizations including executive committee and i'm executive director of friends of jackson park p in other words, a real neighborhood nerd and a green space advocate. and as such, i'm here to support this project. i'm thrilled that this project will create 7 acres of open space and open the water front for the first time in that area in over century. and you've seen how the people have flocked to curren cove, i can guarantee you that the community is psyched to be able to access the water area. and they will accelerate the amenities for every one. and the added bonus is that the eifd will bring the added infrastructure as sewers, basic things, streets and other infrastructure that has been promised so really what's not to like about this?

our community has worked with this developer and we will continue to for years and years and create a project that not only serves the neighborhood but the whole city at large and here's something that you don't hear too often, this developer has committed to using private funds to keep these parks in the open space and maintain in perpetuity, let me repeat that, forever. and therefore, i mean i've been working on the jackson park project for decades. you don't hear that. so i suggest that we, and by we, i mean you, jump on this and make this happen. we want the community benefits now, not 20 years from now and this eifd provides a viable pass to making that a reality. thank you for your consideration. >> thank you very much, jude for addressing this committee. next speaker, please.

>> speaker: good morning, and thank you madam chair, supervisor melgar, mandelman and walton for your time. thanks also go out to the full board and staff for their diligent efforts on this eifd. we're fortunate, and i'm john dueetere, vice president of the trades council. we're fortunate to have a high road partner in the power station. they have made strong commitment both to the community and the labor. this eifd will keep this project moving forward and will also continue the successes that we have seen in the water front, so let's keep that ball going and keep the rebirth of our water front in action.

also we speak in support of this because of the thousands of jobs, it will create the opportunities and apprenticeship slots and all the commitments that we have made to the partner at power station and also with the city overall. and this is an important project to the trade, it's an important project to definitely on the east side of the city but to the city at whole. let's keep it going, let's send out the message that san francisco will continue to be the place where you want to come and invest and develop cutting edge technology, et cetera. let's make that happen. thank you very much. >> thank you very much john for joining us today. and if we have anymore speakers that wish to address this committee regarding items 2 and 3? madam chair, that completes our queue. >> thank you, seeing no more

public comment, public comment is now closed. and colleagues i would like to make a motion to move both items to full board with recommendation and may i have a roll call please jao. on that motion to forward both the resolution on item 2 and ordinance on 3 to the bull ford with a positive recommendation, vice chair somes mandelman? >> aye. >> supervisor melgar. >> aye. >> chair chan. >> aye. >> clerk: we have three ayes. >> thank you. and with that, please call 4 and 5 together. yes, 4 and 5, resolutions item 4 is mose motorola solutions inc. for computing system to increase the amount by 2535.1 million for a total not to exceed 44.8 million and extend

the term by 11 years for a total contract term of december 22, 2023 through november 209ing 2038. item number 5 is with central square technology llc software maintenance to increase the amount by approximately 1.2 million for a total of not to exceed and extending the term by three years. for total contract term of june 29, 2013 through november 309ing 2027. madam chair. >> thank you, i think what we're going to do with the two items, they both have the analyst report and first one is with the department of technology and then the second one is the department of emergency management. unless you're presenting from both items. >> i am presenting with both and department of emergency management. >> understood. so with that, let's go to you

first and then for both items and then we'll go to the bla report for both items too. >> speaker: i'm michelle getus i'm the information manager and i'm here to speak on these two pieces of legislation being heard today. both are regarding the computer aided dis patching system we commonly refer to it as cad. this is a system that dem maintains but it is used by all of the public safety agencies within san francisco police department, fire department, sheriff's department and sfmta and computer dis patching system is the consisting of system interface that's records all of the emergencies events, 9-1-1 calls incident that happen on the streets of san francisco. so the first, the first item number 4 will allow department

of emergency management to enter into a long term contract with a new cad solution provider and that is motorola solutions. this company was selected through a procurement process. and the initial contract for the system purchase was entered into in december of 2023. and this proposed resolution would approve the first amendment to that contract for the primary reason of extending into a long term maintenance agreement with the vendor. and so this proposal will extend the term by 11 years to november 30th of 2038 and it will increase the not to exceed amount from 9.6 million to 44.8 million. and ummmm also here with my colleague mike doherty, he he's the cad program manager and also available to answer any details questions that you would have on the contract and lenl sleighsing.

that's the first, the second item number 5 is to extend dem's current maintenance agreement with the cad vendor and that is central square previously tib financed buron inc. this would extend the term to a 13-year term. so i'm here to answer any questions that you have on either of the two pieces of the legislation. >> 4 this is for a resolution that approved an amendment to department of emergency management agreement with motorola solutions. this is an agreement that with subject of a very long and thorough procurement process for the department to purchase new dispatch system. the initial agreement primarily motorola staff time and hard

care acquisition costs. thex tends the agreement through 2038 and provides spending agreement to fund annual maintenance costs once this system is implemented and provide for optional system components. i think in terms of fiscal impact these are all general fund costs. the annual maintenance is 1.8 million dollars which is 1.4 million dollars more than the annual maintenance for the current system subject of the next item. so that will have to be funded starting in fiscal year 26-27. either few savings to the department budget or through a general fund money. recommended approval of number 4. item 5 is a resolution that approves an amendment to the dem contract of central square. they're the provider and the city's current dispatch system

the cost of that agreement is approximately $400,000 a year. so this is a 3-year extension to carry the system through the target of new system with an additional one year in case there is delays to get the system live. but they can terminate at convenience once it's ready to--once the system is ready. we recommend approval of item number 5. >> thank you, i do have a quick question. i appreciate the three years extension with the existing contractor as we rolled it out. will there, what is the time period of or if any to have an overlapping within the formal transition? or is it just? >> we will, we are anticipating a year of overlap between the two, of course there would be

delays. i will say that we intend to keep the current, the central square system online and available especially to get to the data, yeah. so there could be a period where central square is no longer providing the same level of service in terms of software upgrades patches. it will be just systems as is. >> thank you, it's clearly very complicated process and i really appreciate all the work that the department of emergency management and you, definitely you and your team that have put in to make sure to get to where we're at right now. and i appreciate being thoughtful about in need, i'm in agreement that you need, just not just overlapping time but truly a transition time. i'm in agreement that you need additional year to get you there.

just one of those security cushion kind of term that i think is necessary for you to have. so i'm in agreement with that. and supervisor melgar? >> thank you so much, chair chan. so i had sim wlar to where you're thinking about it. i love technology, i'm so supportive that you're doing this. and i'm glad that you're doing this year of transition. i think we often underestimate the people part of adopting new technology, so i'm wondering if this contract also includes, you know, a capacity building, training and support for the people who will be using the new system? >> yes, we've built in significant training of staff. we have also built in an

organizational management exercise that we intend to go through with our major stakeholders police fire, sheriffs and sfmta. >> tutu and i don't see any name on the roster let's go to public comment on this item. >> clerk: members of the public who wish to speak on either items 4 and 5 now is your opportunity to address this committee. madam chair, we have no speakers. >> seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. and colleagues i would like to make a motion to move these two items 4 and 5 to full board with recommendation and a roll call please. >> clerk: and on that motion to forward both resolutions to the bored with a positive recommendation, vice chair. >> aye. >>. >> clerk: member melgar. >> aye. >> clerk: chair chan. >> aye. >> clerk: we have three ayes. >> thank you, the motion passes. please call item number 6.

>> clerk: item number 6 is a hearing to consider the release of reserved funds to the port placed on the budget and finance committee reserve ordinance. madam chair? >> thank you, and today we have san francisco port here and the flor is yours. >> good morning, supervisors thank you for having me here this. i'm meghan wallace the ports recovery manager. today i do have a presentation that i'll share on the port's request to release 10 million dollars from the budget and finance committee's reserve, releasing the economic recovery project. so to begin, i just want to a little bit of background the fiscal year 2021, the port included 10 million dollars

initiative. but at that point in time, we didn't have a lot of information about how the funds would be used. really we were at the start of the pandemic and our port director had the foresight to think that we would need resources to adjust and adapt to the pandemic. but they recommended wisely, i would say to ask the port to go back and get into more details about how the funds would be used. and that's has been my role since i came on board in this position with the port since 2022, in november we've been going through a planning process to determine the best use of funds. and now that we've done that diligent planning i'm here today to request the reserve. while the request is focused on a 10 million dollars project, i do want to highlight that the connie project is part of a

larger package of the ports investment and economic recovery. we have 64.4 million dollars overall of projects that are really focused in a variety of ways in our recovery efforts. first the economic project of course, but we have also dedicated funds that we call the tenant attraction and reserve funding, it states stimulus dollars that is really focused on improving our facility to main sure that we maintain current tenants and attract new ones where we've had tenants move from their spaces. importantly we've been very successful in pursuing and being awarded state and federal port infrastructure grants, actually this committee will be hearing in a month or so a request to accept and expend the california state transportation infrastructure grant in the range of 22 million dollars. so you can see that actually

these infrastructure grants are really important component of this overall plan and additional, the port has 10 million dollars for improvement in the southern water front. in terms of the distribution of these funds across the water front, you can see that the majority is actually going into the southern water front but importantly the next largest investment is in fisherman's wharf where we've seen the most drastic movement of tenants out of our facilities, we're just really working to recover in that area to attract new tenants activate, the area to make sure that we have visitors come into fisherman's wharf. i think it's just important to see this contribution across the water front because we do have 7 and a half miles of water front to maintain. so getting into the details of

the economic recovery project, you can see that actually the funds are distributed in three major areas. first we have activation of fisherman's wharf as i mentioned, we lost tenants in the area. but we have also seen that our fishers are some of the most vulnerable businesses in the neighborhood and we really want to invest making sure that they have adequate facilities. and then additionally, activation trying to enliven the neighborhood again supporting, our land site businesses. and then also, parks and open space are major area of investment. we've recognized that we need to develop a cohesive experience along the water front. not every one knows that they're going to the port. this is an opportunity not only to brand the port and the water front that we maintain, but make sure that people's experience right side full and en ripped because ne know there

is a lot to see there. and then finally, we are making investments and improving the operations of the port looking for efficiencies as well as ways to retain our staff and make sure that we're able to retain a strong workforce. we also note that with these investments, we want to understand whether or not we're being successful. so we are track various indicators both for economic purposes as well as looking at city indicators that may influence the port. so we're maintaining these metrics and reporting back to the commission twice a year and really wanting to understand if our investment are successful. so with that, just want to make sure that you understand, we are using a variety of funding source to see deliver on our

economic recovery and growth initiatives, we're investing in fisherman's wharf in the southern water front, we do think that tracking the metrics is important to determine whether or not we're successful and with that, i request your approval of this item. thank you. >> item 6 this is a hearing to request this committee release from reserve 10 million dollars and potentially harbor funds within the port budget that were put in reserve in fiscal year 20-21. you can see the port's operating revenue on page 29 of our report those are generated from tenant leases, they're begin to go recover. that recovery has been uneven on different areas of the water front. and as noted by the department this is a part of a larger

plan, the port is pushing out to reinvigorate their properties and help recover tenant revenues. this ten millions will be largely be focused on fisherman's wharf 7.3 million dollars of the 10 will be in fisherman's wharf. that does not generate a lot of money for san francisco or for the port but it is a historical asset that the port deems worth preserving. >> thank you, i do understand the initial infrastructure investment does not generate new revenue. but i do think the investment for commercial fishing is a critical element to the survival of fisherman's wharf and tourism for the area is a

long term investment that i personally think it's really what san francisco is about in terms of that area and really north, northeast water front for us. so i look forward to seeing how the improvements will work for both our commercial fisherman industry in san francisco but also for the community, from the business benefit district for the area as well for fisherman's wharf but also to just look forward to seeing what you're going to bring back to us later on with the state grant and other grants to improve the southeast sector of the water front. so that we can look at the water front improvement all around san francisco in a more comprehensive way and to understand the capitol improvement that we're making all around. i don't see any name on the roster, we don't have any questions at the moment. but it's, it's very exciting to

see what the port is going to do in the next few years. so with that, let's go to public comment on this item. thank you. >> thank you. >> clerk: yes, members of the public who wish to address this committee regarding this hearing, to release the 10 million dollars to the port now is your opportunity to address this committee. mr. doherty. >> before you start, somebody left their glasses. put that for the lost and found folks. john doherty vice president of the san francisco building trade. this was not the item i came to see but i then i saw it on the agenda. it's important that we do represent craft workers at at the port of san francisco. what i did like hearing is that aside from the efforts on the southern water front which i spoke to earlier in the importance of that. also just, the focus on
