we are going to have a dedicated connector on family outreach. in addition to that on site, we were able to work with the agents to have collocation of their case managers on site that will be there twice a week. we are going to continue on with the office of economic and work force development on their training programs. when we are saying training programs, it is not going to training programs. to the extent possible, we are going to make sure the staff is going to our on-site. we have created a hunter's view on site. thanks to the housing authority, they have allowed us to use that authority to not only locate our services work, but we are also going to locate the 10ant association there, -- tennans association there, so you have that nice synergy to create a

true hub of activity. supervisor mar: what is urban strategies? >> that is the human capital arm , mccormack, bair, and toliver. they are going through to focus on the human capital development piece. they have a long history of doing this. this work in all kinds of cities around the country. once development is imminent, they come in and establish the work that stablizes the families to prepare them for development. we talked about this a little

earlier, but we are proud to announce, the phase one was relocated successfully. several of those went off site. but that was a blend of the housing authority and the residents working together to very well the relocation plan and very well it. we are proud of that process. on the service connection work, we are proud the people of hunters view will be part of the connection work. we are proud of phase one. we were able to start abatement. that is definitely linked to the service connection work.

we think the work we were dealing with actually yielded those outcomes. and we are proud of the fact that we are trying to bring existing residents and larger neighborhoods together. several neighborhoods have created advisory committees together to inform the master planning process, and they will continue to work together now that we are at the 18-month period and after on issues related to the master planning process. finally, utched resident leadership development work, we have -- we are proud we have graduated the two classes. as i mentioned earlier, the s.f. youth academy hats started in march and we are working on continuing what we started in march on helping them work within their communities. with that, i will pass it back to craig briefly to -- doug briefly to talk about our neighborhoods.

>> i should add one other piece. the interagency has been incredibly helpful. september and kim berly wycoff making sure the ratios are correct. being able

right next to the park, and this is a mixed use senior facility for groundfloor with those basic urban communities that we have all come to know. it is where they come down from mcclaren down toward bayshore. it would be nice to have something right here that wasn't selling liquor and cigarettes but milk and eggs and the things most of us count on in our daily lives.

next is the community gardening. it would get to some of the public health issues. we don't expect a public service farm that raises food for every aspect of life, but we think we could do something there. and last but not least, trying to break down the border between the pool and the surrounding sunnydale neighborhood and troog to do that with the -- trying to do that and pull folks in from the development at a common location where people can interact, get to know each other. we have seen this around the country as one of the key issues. at that border between the housing property and the surrounding neighborhood getting people to come together in a normal fashion around every-day needs like going swimming or getting a jug of milk as opposed to something more contrived and more difficult to sustained. chair maxwell: that's why i was thinking about that pop-up like in hayes valley. a little pop-up here and a

pop-up there. >> we would love to facility -- facilitate more retail. i want to make sure i'm not over-stepping myself. i think the housing authority and we would love to have as much retail as we can. our biggest challenge is trying to determine how much retail we can attract. one of our big efforts now is improving our partnership with the school district. we all are very aligned at the 10,000-foot level. the plan and efforts on closing the achievement gap is so deeply connected to what we are trying to do, the idea of doing joint use, the idea of trying to invest in a gym together or community garden together, the deputy superintendent, the principal, everyone, has been incredibly enthusiastic, and we

have been trying to do out-reach i think the next step is trying to figure out how it occurs. again, the interagency council is one of the places we would do this because we have so much happening with clips, with the promise -- promised neighborhood application. we are trying to remain coordinated. these are things that the members have led in terms of the collaboration on site with the mall com -- malcolm x theme. we are excited about the associate superintendent or assistant superintendent and the southeast, and expect to be working with all them to move that forward. mber, and december, but we are actually actively working with them on that type of detail. >> supervisor march -- supervisor mar? supervisor mar: can you share

with me the information from the fifth graders, their mapping and their ideas? i would be curious what vision they have of their ideas. that would be helpful at a later time. i would be happy to see that. >> it is pretty exciting stuff, and fun to look at. i am sure there are some of those folks that would come to visit you in your office if you wanted a life, in-person presentation. in terms of thinking about what's going to happen here, hunter's view will be working on what's happening in the fall. one of the things we haven't talked about is that hunters view will have a tight relationship with the p.u.c. around storm water. we are working with them on the cistern and working with them on run-off and water conservation efforts. if the shipyard is approved, then that's ahead of you this week. we are happy to work with you, depending your decision on that.

as we mentioned, sunnydale and potrero are moving through that environmental review process. eventually you will find your way back in terms of plain unit developments. and last but not least, craig has been doing a lot of work with ed harrington's team in things that seemed like compatible themes, but given the fact these places are hilly, the access bit issues, and the run-off and new things we are trying to do as a city plays out in some ways on these sites. they have been generous in their staff time in helping us figure this thing out. so on the surfaces of community building, i think amy highlighted it well. we have had growing pains, as are always the case with these projects. the nice news is, we haven't had growing pains on the nice things like the jobs. or relocation. i think that has been a tremendous zess. it -- success.

i think we threw everything but the kitchen sink at these things in the last years because we didn't want to fail in the most critical elements. now that we have learned lessons, hopefully it will be clearer for us to learn this with more efficiency. we are about to implement a data tracking system. september could probably tell you more about this, but this is going to be critical in terms of following up on this. again, it is just going to continue the interagency council work, particularly around fiscal development. it is a tough time for all of us fiscally. that means if we can help phil ginsburg or rec & parks, we are trying to see how we can use our projects to help more than one goal at a time. the community engagement process around these is never over.

it is the beginning of the process. the goal really is to get to a place where these developments never feel like an us and them mentality. that really happens if you move in on the work. i would be remisnot to mention we have had a tremendous amount of work from our philanthropic founders. but a tremendous amount of work. again, we know we have an ongoing need to keep the public and our city partners and our private partners informed. it's one of the great challenges of hope s.f. our goal through the web site, hope-sf.org and through the fiscal presence of partners is

to keep the communication level up. we realize there is no way to ever sort of be done with this process, and that's again part of our goal in coming here today is to try to surface these issues so that if people don't know about it or they are getting bad information, or if there are things people need us to work on, we can spot these issues and keep moving forward. i will stop there. i think you scr been asking questions along the way. obviously, if there are members of the public. just to say, we know the work ahead of us is big. we are excited about where we're out, and we are hopeful the next year will yield quite a bit. chair maxwell: thank you. that was great. public comment on these issues. ok.

this is just an informational hearing. there will be no action taken on these issues. >> supervisors, i really have enjoyed the out-reach going on with the potrero rebuild. i have been somewhat involved trying to make sure there is a true integration with the neighborhood. by the way, sometimes i get in trouble using that word "integration." i mean it in the right way. we have, i think, achieved quite a bit just this week. the potrero merchant's association contracted with the giants to send 50 kids to ball games this summer, realizing there aren't that many things going on. those things happened because there is good communication and good education. so with that, i really am looking very much forward to rebuilding that whole community.

the one thing supervisor maxwell knows, i have been mr. electricity and sewage and everything else. i think we can use powtrare owe -- potrero and sunnydale as examples on how to save millions of dollars. chair maxwell: that's why i was glad to see the p.u.c.'s involvement, and hopefully involved in more than just the regular ways, but involved in bringing some new programs to that new community as well. >> we have been doing a fine job of educating the p.u.c. on what programs are available. some of it was straight out of a box. but we are making progress. i'm not slamming t chair maxwell: thank you, joe. that's what it takes, it takes a

community. the streets are so often lined. the streets in those housing developments don't go anywhere, just around and around. with this new project we are aligning them, so tennessee will go all the way, and hobbs. and i think those are the things that go toward making a complete community and making people feel tied in. >> since you just raised some of the issues with regard to potrero terrace, are they the oldest buildings? why weren't they kind of closer to the top in their rebuild? and also a little more about the dead end streets and how steep it is there. what you are going to do to make the residence feel more connected to the potrero hill community as well. max mack well, continuing those streets and bringing the grid.

>> henry alvarez from the housing authority. the placement of what moved first, we attempted to move those that were most obsoles cresm nt. upon my arrival, i discovered that alice griffeth had a significant amount of challenges, so the mayor's office agreed to move it fompled it is likely from there one of the other properties on the west side or potrero will move next, although it does have some challenges in terms of slopes, it has the most challenges in terms of obsolescence. when we lose a boiler at alice griffeth, it affects 60 residents. we have 60 residents that can't take a shower, can't get their kids off to school. so in that particular analysis, that's how we got to the scheme that bethesda today. in terms of the architectural

design and street escape and linkages, i leave that up to experts who are more equipped to do that, because if doug wants to tackle the streetscape thing, we should do that, but basically, anything that keths to services is better than a cul du sac that doesn't give us eyes on the street. supervisor mar: just a little bit of detail. >> maffers, my nime is -- >> supervisors, my name is margaret campbell. there are similar sites that deal with steep terrains. how we're dealing with this at hunters view is how we're dealing with this at potrero. to the extent possible we are creating a street grid that will feel more like a typical san

francisco neighborhood. where we can't connect those streets because there are buildings on the site, we are creating pedestrian kecks, and where -- a lot of those pedestrian connections are already there, but they are a little more informal. we are formalizing them. we are making them safe. we have the lighting. and we will also be maintaining them. chair maxwell: and i think for those of us who -- i mean, san francisco is built on hills. we are used to that terrain. i keep hearing it, but that should not be any -- i don't think that should be a deterrent to connecting streets. we managed to do it on lump barred and all the other streets. here it has been, no excuses, get it done. that's what architects and designing is about, finding out a way, planning how to do it. so we have been doing that.

supervisor mar, do you have anymore questions? ok. questions, comments. public comment is closed. this is a hearing. madam clerk, why don't we continue this hearing to the call of the chair. madam clerk is there any further business before this committee? the clerk delon: there are into further items. chair maxwell: then this meeting is adjourned. [at 2:45 the meeting was adjourned]
