move over to my fellow commissioners questions or comments? >> kim. >> regarding you're early outreach. and we have mentioned this before about getting newsletters or information to the institutional places and especially district 10 and district 5 making sure they get this information not at the most of may but early as possible. this is an excellent situation right now because of, you know, police and things that are going on lots of people family and
1:30 am
especially even folks that don't normally go to church will be in services trying to get that word out. and then to make sure there are flyers that can be given to them. besides newsletter or something you have out already. that would be good. as well as our outreach services. george davis and a lot of grandparents can tell we are looking at decendents they can tell the families this is available abused a lot of folks are not going to know to go to mercy (coughing) mercies website and it is good place to go but if you don't know and when to do constantly
1:31 am
looking at that they miss out. our outreach l hunch and the ymca bayview, the district 5, and all of the others that japantown they need the information as soon is possible and for our professional services. our small business owners the same thing those we haven't found and still don't know about it we can keep it search going and make sure there are flyers to e that can be out in places printing places they have business done. our store
1:32 am
billboards and southeast community centers again the y. and perhaps if any of them have connected to a union. >> thank you commissioner and absolutely we're going to make sure those strategies are noerp into the outreach plan. thank you. >> we have any additional comments from fellow commissioners? >> (clearing throat). >> good afternoon. thank you kim great presentation. um, overall i'm excited about this project. um, a couple of questions then for me to understand. um, i know we're to go have the dog park nearby but since some of those will be for
1:33 am
seniors if they're not able to walk will it will be an area for their this animals, you know, their dogs small dog forgive me. >> i don't article if that is built would this site by one um, incorporated button bayview citings. >> yeah. >> it is rights there. >> okay. forgive me- >> (multiple voices). >> all right. just i was looking at businesses for my information. under the family building last page it says the numbers and everything this (clearing throat) to for the joint veteran i under the maintains the casework this
1:34 am
is a listed at bids what does that mean. >> it typically that sort of thing. >> (multiple voices.) >> and. okay. >> you- >> (multiple voices). >> i got that's what i thought i was not too sure. >> other than everything looks great. thank you. >> thank you. >> if i may through the chair why believe the current approved design on block three incorporates the dog park area unless a park that is planned there some other things as you recall had a contingency active sports enthusiasts were requesting some design changes none of those requests included in the closed dog park but you can certainly bring that up. >> okay. at the. >> kim and again, i want to also repeat what our
1:35 am
commissioner just said. thank you very much for such a clear easy to follow presentation and would you add to that list tenderloin. they do an amazing amount of outreach for the city. as well as they're on community and seeking health and wellness coalition have their housing piece as well. and apart of one of their housing where they keep people are housing as well as try to look for something in the future for families there is also your epiphany - tiffany housing for women and children temporary and they also need - that information they serve a huge diverse group of families.
1:36 am
>> thank you, commissioner and you have a few questions thank you for the presentation. um, baselines any recognition it seems like we have already doubled the predevelopment dollars once and today what we're actually asking the commission to vote on not an $8 million increase but 5 percent increase that is $19 million plus in total.; is that correct?? >> i'm sorry can you say that again. >> the ask today, we have already contributed the $8 million and . >> could you repeat for us to um, basically increase the original contract amount that is $53 million plus - sorry nine hundred and 61 thousand dollars plus to an actual $72 million
1:37 am
plus. is that; correct. >> just to clarify the $53 million in in addition to the $8 million that will bring the residential piece total to the 61 $.9 million but the overall ask project wise for this consistency where we were in august 2023 the commitment we're an all amount the $72 million but you're right from the $8 million authorize during the predevelopment and adding money to the 61 .9 residential. >> thank you. >> some of the changes in the last year for the potential increases and asking if for today. >> yeah. to be honest the project we're bringing here today is similar to the project
1:38 am
we brought in august 2023 and some of the numbers have been fine-tuned and will be fine tuned we have investor on board with the letter of intent but overall the costs have not increased since that time it is just we need the predevelopment early days we funded those a lot more than what we typically do and authorized a little bit more they can engage with the design and build for the most part that's where those dollars went but overall still at 61 plus million dollars for the residential loan back in august overall it is very extensive project but on a residential unit basis we're coming in at $376,000 a comfortable if not better than the projects but overall a large number agreed.
1:39 am
>> also my thoughts an asterick next to the lot family and a mention about that 50 percent not thirty percent can you clarify that. >> yeah. absolutely. >> so i know what it is. >> those are offered to households regardless of their income many of them come in the door where zero income and typically 15 to 20 percent range and rent it bans the percentage they'll pay thirty percent for rent of their household under the programs and policies manual we actually low rent to cap at 50 percent that allows for long term stability for those families if under the program and started as zero income and start with a part-time job and wonderful adult households how
1:40 am
many ever there are go out and secure employment still need did supportive resources we need to make sure they can stay in the unit as long as they can it is funky the republicans are amis are at thirty percent bus for constriction for the downtown support special use district we'll cap that at 50 percent. >> thank you for that i present that thank you for taking the extra effort i have been a lot of changes in the city and in terms of people formally homeless and now on the streets again, they don't make enough money, you know, to their making too much for the program is appreciate you and the team for coming up that that one and also do we have stack for the
1:41 am
technical assistance application or one actual date of applications will be released? >> well, we'll layout the full scheduled in the early outreach plan and get a detailed marketing schedule and merrycy will come in with a partnership and provide seminars by in the case to make sure we lock in the date and schedule for construction and that early outreach plan will follow-up with a detailed timeline and making sure i want to note we can make sure when we go into the workshops that there is transaction certifies and i know this is has been people not able
1:42 am
to attend or other to know about the language barriers (coughing) as well and then he had questions about the fte numbers i know you said we're coming in at 80 percent i love we're staying on target but also wondering how are we doing on the let's see - local entrepreneurs um, percentages for um, our project area um, businesses. >> i'd like to actually defer to maria on that sorry. >> good afternoon. thank you
1:43 am
i'm maria and talking about the construction project and- >> (multiple voices). >> so; right? >> sorry. >> um, so actually the lbe san francisco all that is similar around 59 percent shy for contracts. um, that includes folks that have been completely bought out the majority of the folks under negotiation or final lisa nichols, community resources manager them but the sheet in the report um, are things beauty out in the joint venture as well as specific to the project. >> and my last questions we have local challenges and they're doing a good job but i guess i'm concerned we continue to do do development there is a lack of inclusion for people
1:44 am
that live locally and get the union wage jobs living in the properties anchoring purchasing in the city and so would love to hear, you know, what has been our historical numbers on blets and what you plan to side differently to um, increase those numbers? under 20 percent right now and supposed to be pleats about 50 percent. >> okay. um, i can hand to over and that represents the early work on the project not the sorry actual construction- >> (multiple voices). >> i can hand to over. thank you. >> make sure i got the mic right just to be clear, commissioner you want to understand the local hires with the workforce on the project.
1:45 am
>> yeah. >> okay. so um, can you introduce yourself. >> sorry. >> my name is mcdaniel communication director. and one of the things that we thought been in in project was an opportunity to partner with city build and partner with the community organizations like the developers and chinatown, and charity culture center and success center to target opportunities that sometimes just don't get field. early out of the gate we're working similar to what they used to side with treasure island a job hiring program and meeting with the community partners set up the schedule and let them know the opportunities especially on early excuse me - like iron work and about one of the areas where we really have challenges,
1:46 am
you know, having left lane workers but creating workforce opportunities there and focusing on areas like child setting and some of the other trades union trades that may not be as well known but working with the community partners and city build to not let the opportunity slip that's one of the unique opportunities we're bringing to the particular project and the regular um, check ins with our trade partners to make sure 245er meeting their goals close connection with city build to have the ideas of the workforce and already in the union pool but also stating coordinated without 6 city build academy this focus will unallow us to do
1:47 am
something unique and keep the focus on, you know, the workforce compliance and working with our partners to help our trade partners to help us to facilitate filling opportunities and really pushing for local labor san francisco workforce. >> um, also curious to know which areas of the trade you see the most kind of um, i guess where you guys are found the most success in matching local workers. areas trades that has been more consistent in producing higher numbers and like other ones not as well known like training and all that stuff that is different that - where have i seen the impact and um, as far. >> i think uk whether you think
1:48 am
about the basic crafts with the labors and xaerpdz crafts continues to be a robust number of san franciscans that are either in the union or forming in the union and can get - i also think in terms of drywall which is a single he organization to the xaerpz that is another area because of the ability for contractors to sponsored. >> dry wail fisheries. >> right and then i'm glad i mentioned about the i'll my final follow-up question. rebuild has deny a wonderful job with the local organizations and getting people trained doing barrier removals and not something you can control, however, we have a large
1:49 am
population of people trained in the unions don't have money to reengage in the unions and, etc. and so they're kind of like that lost um, group that feels that um, they have not been matched appropriately in the chance have a job and the job is over now in a place for 8 months and kind of pickup as a hobby not - some type of extra things to try to make um, a little bit more subsequent for the workers we find really want to be part pa of the enlargement but no labor, etc. and aren't high on the list and involved, you know, love your thoughts own that. >> i think retention of the community workforce is probably one of the biggest opportunities
1:50 am
and also you identified one of the areas of improvement that industry has with the ruben con joint veteran have a new employee training program and we'll share the plan with the trade partners and give them training and discipline a lot of times when a new working is on the job site site they don't have a mentor and not something that assigned to them and question use this employee training program to really work on our other than internal retention but and something we share with the partners and then i mention about the evan dunn
1:51 am
this is funds to assist folks to get them up and those projects are an excellent opportunity it leverage the funds. >> awesome thank you for all of the information provided today and really excited about the work you guys are doing and what it takes to make sure the local hires are included and not forgotten and get those people back into the workforce and lastly, want to partner with the commissioners of black trades union they have been trying to advocate around local hire and in touch with men and women who, you know, can't keep it going
1:52 am
and stabt going out into the industry and i forgot the women's trade they definitely need additional support in terms of curt more women from communities so thank you, again, for your thoughtfulness in the presentation today. >> and i'm sorry, i didn't quite get you. >> i'm sorry mick. >> oh. >> m ic k. thank you. and. >> thank you. >> when you opened up you said we plan on reaching out is that plan taken action. >> yes. we will be bringing together the partners you're talking about the partners bringing that is part of our proposal to mercy and schedule we are in the process of putting
1:53 am
together. >> as has been said to add those other groups and is there a because you, search or ask anyone like putting it up to the hidden places a way to think been in putting information out like i said through the churches? outreach centers? >> that are already in the community and that can reach them? >> and pretty much they can find them if they do the right thing when they are reaching the community places like that where they're in and out of those communities sites. >> yeah. i think that working with our community partners the first one we put together outreach flyers and taefrt the
1:54 am
faith-based places local community-based organizations like the neighborhood assess centers to cast a wider net and part of this selection in construction but i agree cast a wider net. >> thank you very much. and. thank you. >> okay. >> and then. thank you very much. and then my last question. a representative from mercy here? >> so i know something that as is commission we said it all the time and i know budget constraints the budget didn't allow four parking and stuff like that and chablgd because a lot of the families low income families childcare and even have onsite we understand u s sf is not that great and living in in area will not be um, a lot of
1:55 am
ways for people especially single mothers and fathers to take their kids to preliminary school and so would love to hear your thoughts on um, what financing can look like in light future building those projects we can figured out ways to add parking as parts of the our offering but he, he have shared time and time again families are turned out housing opportunities because no parking you saw 95 bicycle spaces but realistically this population didn't ride bikes. >> sure, yes. >> thank you for the question i'm shawn the project manager at mercy and yes there is um, i can talk about efforts to help
1:56 am
transit assess and first talk about the financing but start (coughing) and okay but (coughing) at the building and in our marketing efforts to make sure the residents all the public transit access option available we have funding for bicycle parking. >> i love the convenience next year years with three years of transit pass free and a minimum of 40 or 45 rides per month and this also partnering with the bicycle coalition and the bike coalition will be setting up for the buildings in the project area and safety education programs and bike safety workshops and handle walking
1:57 am
school buses and activities. um, there will be providing helmets and other things making that more assessable and also be doing the outreach to the parking garages and what the garages are nearby it is allowable we'll apply the spaces as well. as far as financing for parking and moving forward it is tough you need to go subterranean that is very, very extensive or a lot of times you're going to have to take units offline so, yeah i mean a lot of funding programs
1:58 am
(coughing) out there for example, and one program the award which disincentivize the parking but transit oriented development along the ways and not given additional funds for parking it is becoming less- had - and happy to talk about that. >> i was curious with the nonprofits moving forward joining collective or on their own and lobi likewise for families base housing to have credits whereas, just the plan you guys have a.d. in the three years of transit tickets but then maybe like hey we have a redevelopment we're adding public transit but partners for disabled families and things
1:59 am
like that that technically need things so i'm curious to know we're advocating around the spaces and this is what a i have to deal with so - and right. >> right. >> i don't know if you know of any public policy initiatives i don't think we have around that. >> so there's um, a change of federal change that i believe was passed by congress but not or is congress not the senate to change the 50 percent down the
2:00 am
25 percent. so this will essentially allow for more availability of credit financing should be a financing tool in the future that's something point mercy and nonprofits federal legislatures effected them for years now. >> thank you very much for that and i know kim and you wanted to jump in feel free to come up here and add to it. >> yeah. i was going to say that right now that big bottle effect next. we have three different trenches of funding to be as creative to get the projects to move forward and building housing and makes sense that the federal change will free that up and focusing lessen
2:01 am
is competition and for the people will serve will be a much happier place for all of us we're leading with a huge advocate i think a lot of voices but i think that's the best bet to have more wiggle room. >> thank you very much. and also thank you for the public for indulging me and hoping we learned some things today any other questions or comments from my fellow commissioners if not a motion on the floor for this item. >> (clearing throat). >> yes. i'd like to make a motion to approve agenda item 5 b. >> and i second. >> that motion.
