in recent years there has been a steady decline in san francisco and generally in california in the fuel industry. based on the wanted them to come to their locations. the net result is that the city has specifically lost the money usually generated in to the local economy. fortunately, hbo, doing business on multiple productions has committed to film in san francisco. the film is entitled hemingway and kill warned the residents --

still filmed in san francisco. production is currently a tentative. they are an office tenant in good standing. engaging in several leases, several locations at a modified rent schedule, the networks that would result would be the port. these are proximate depending on the start date and end date. the port will receive about $57,000 per month, or $230,000 for the term of the lease. plus, service valued at $350,000, the total would be called would not be expanding

any of its own resources the benefit from these leases because of with awareness of its public opinion with local production persons and i think that those numbers are fairly impressive. in the there were two dollars in there, 50 cents kovac to a, -- into the local economy.

home productions is wrapping up to this point, $500,000 locally on local labor. prosing in kind services for the discounted rates i noted. at this time i would like to introduce susanna robins to make a brief presentation. >> the port has been working with the production company to find space for them. a great office space and potential for using the building, just when a production company needs. it would help to draw other

productions here in the future. they do not even need to shoot this in san francisco. the film takes place in the past. all over the world. what he can do with these buildings issued the world in san francisco. this takes place in idaho, spain, and other european countries. he is shooting the whole thing here. much of it will be built into the production stages on the set. a big draw for other productions to come see, to come to a similar thing. we're also very excited about the local jobs. we want to provide more jobs for local residents in san francisco. it should bring 230 local jobs

to an industry that has seen diminishing productions over the past five years, rejecting a significant amount of money into the local economy. the cooperation of the port in revitalizing green jobs and revenue to the city is really appreciated. it will also shine a light on san francisco and the port as partners to those that want to make films here. we are hoping for other productions to see how the city agencies of san francisco help us go smoothly, drawing more productions hopefully to the city. it is my understanding that phil kaufman has multiple projects lined up with hbo and if this goes smoothly and he has a successful production, he will bring the other productions here.

he has expressed an interest in doing that and that is why we are asking for this today. >> thank you. >> the to have any questions for me? >> we will have another speaker. thank you. >> thank you. so, on behalf of philip kaufman, peter kaufman, an hbo, i would like to thank the president and the commissioner here today for allowing us to be here and take this item on the agenda. i am thrilled to report that we will be feet -- shooting our feature film here. it stars nicole kidman and clive owen. we are shooting the world in san francisco. it has such distinction, not many places in the country can beat finland, key west, china. it is the whole world.

our plan is to shoot entirely in seven to skill. 95% to 98% will be from san francisco in terms of casting crew. labor and residents. we have already hired many of the people in preproduction work is already in a way. speaking in terms of services, we are looking forward to partnering with the port for various promotional opportunities. some of the things i can tell you i have been working with, things that we can do, in addition to certain film credits and thank you credits in the movie, which has a very long life, hbo has a viewership of approximately 30 million. the average for a feature film is 10 million. right there you will get lots of

coverage. in addition to that, we are going to work with the court to produce various, celebratory behind-the-scenes footage of the port of san francisco. there is a program called hbo buzz, it will start being on other films coming out where they highlight the behind-the- scenes for a feature movie. in addition to that, we have professional still photographers that will take photographs of the port, which we will provide for you, as well as moving footage of the port. opportunities to have links to various web sites. the average viewer hit on the hbo web site as 10 million for a feature of this size. there are many promotional

opportunities there. the campaign would start in 2011. i am here to answer any questions might have. >> commissioners, can i answer any questions you might have? i have a couple of thoughts. there may be more suggestions that some of our properties undergoing development might be featured, using some of his credit as a public relations, so i want to offer that comment. i know that we will hear some public comment first.

>> very good. >> i have one card. >> thank you, commissioners. thank you, staff, for allowing me to speak this afternoon. in the executive vice president and chief marketing officer for the visitors bureau. working on behalf of the destination of stamford cisco, as the chairman notes often, if given the chance to speak for three minutes, i will often go for three hours. instead of me doing my own speaking, i have reached out to some of my colleagues and counterparts in other cities and i will let their words speak for me. before that i want to invite each of you to take a copy of today's usa today, which might be up there are ready for you. specifically the front of the

life section, which relates the important role the city plays as the key character in the film, for you to read it for leisure. an interesting look at the focus on the economic impact of a film made in a city. at the seattle convention visitors bureau, you may know that sleepless in seattle was filmed there 18 years ago. do you see or track any quantifiable impact from sleepless in seattle? here was his answer, he had no quantifiable he could tell us it was huge for seattle. 18 years later we still get plenty of travel stories with the word sleepless. the impact has less than in

foreign markets particularly. notably in china. it is still a huge driver of interest in the region. they're working with chinese tore operators to update packages for 2011. we are very grateful that the producers did not go with sleepless in san francisco. [laughter] michael bloomberg, the name of new york city, had this comment about filling in new york city. the entertainment industry's greatest contribution to the city is to make the image of an idea of new york a living, thrilling presence in the minds of people grumble world. few cities have been celebrated as widely and memorably on screen as new york. in that the industry can be seen as a priceless marketing tool for the city. further propelling its economy,

prosperity, and vitality. from the visitors' bureau prospective, we think that moving ahead will not just be a short-term boom during production, but a long-term boon. >> thank you. any other public comment on this item? any others? all right. i kind of wanted to echo thoughts on the ability is for the deerow port and commission to try to attract more business in a measurable way. and the economy. to the real-estate department, twice per year at the next program perhaps looking to see

if we are of pricing ourselves, looking at more competitive cities to see where we stand. it is a great opportunity. not just for the rent, but for all the things that go along with being on television. i know that i have heard that the original hawaii 5-0 television show was stimulated by the chamber of commerce, as well as they watch -- baywatch. i think we are all familiar with hawaii tourism. san francisco still has that opportunity. i am in support of this short- term lease. any other questions, commissioners? >> thank you for bringing this opportunity to san francisco and

stimulating our local economy. and if you need any extras, we are available. [laughter] >> extra commissioners. all of those in favor? any opposed? resolution 10-72 is approved. >> item number 12, new business. >> commissioners, anything that i can bring back to monique when she gets back? >> i want to clarify. are we officially cancelling the official tentative meeting in november? >> yes. >> amy knows better than i do. >> we were supposed to do it on november 18. but the room was not available. that special meeting is not going happen. >> we have nothing major? >> nothing so far. unless something comes up. >> ok.

next item. >> public comment. >> any public comment? >> ok. >> ok. >> move to adjourn. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> meeting adjourned.

supervisor campos: good morning, everyone and welcome to the october 21, 2010 meeting of the board of supervisors rules committee. i am the chair of the committee. to my right is committee member, supervisor mar.

supervisor alioto-pier is in route. we want to thank sfgtv for their service in covering the meeting. do you have any announcements? >> yes, items recommended for on the agenda will go to the full board november 2 unless otherwise indicated. >> great. i know that there are some scheduling issues, and some folks may need to leave, so unless there is any objection, if we could please call item five out of order. >> item 5, motion concerning the reappointment of leroy king to the san francisco redevelopment agency. supervisor campos: 90 very much. before we begin, if i may make a brief announcement, and related to this topic, today at 10:21

a.m., and i forgot to say this at the beginning of the meeting, but there will be an earthquake drill that the city is actually participating in, so an alarm, a siren will go off. for those of you sitting in this room, you do not need to evacuate or leave the room, but we want to make sure you know that is happening. the city is participating in the third annual great california shake out, and it is a reminder for all californians to make sure they are ready in the event of an earthquake or any major incident, so, hopefully, you will think about that as that is happening. with that in mind, i want to thank you. another announcement -- i know that there are a number of people who are standing. room 250 is open for overflow.

because of fire issues, we have to clear the aisles as much as possible. if you would like to have a seat, please go to room 250. with that, item five, we have the reappointment of leroy king to the san francisco redevelopment agency here commissioner, the morning. this is an opportunity to make a statement and some remarks to the committee. >> yes, i wanted to thank the supervisors, but i want to say i have been on this commission 31 years. in 1980, dianne feinstein asked me to come on the commission because there was blood in the film more -- blight in the fil lmore and hunters point area.

plus, in the hunters point area, they refused to come under redevelopment because of what happened in the western addition, and i've worked with the president of the naacp to ask the people of the hunters point area to come alec to the redevelopment. they finally agreed to come under the redevelopment, and right now, we have the last ship yard out there, and i thank the board of supervisors for passing that measure, and i would like to be around to see that be done. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you, commissioner. colleagues, any questions? supervisor mar. supervisor mar: i wanted to thank you for your leadership not just within the labor movement and the international longshoremen and lieberman unit for over 64 years, but also, your effort to fight against

displacement of low-income people throughout the city, and i wanted to say that i respect and appreciate that history, but also, i know you are a great father, grandfather and great- grandfather as well and an icon in our city, so thank you for your service. >> thank you. supervisor campos: i, too, want to thank you for your service and the fact that you continue to be interested in serving the city and county. i think that continuity is important, especially given the nature of some of the projects that are now moving forward, and i am very appreciative of that, that you have been responsive to the concerns of various communities. just an example, from the mexican museum, i know that you heard loud and clear some of the concerns that the latino community had a run the fact that there was not a lot of movement on the project, so we

want to thank you for that. i do not know that i have always agreed with every vote, but that is not the test of whether or not someone should be reappointed. i think that what you want is someone who is going to do as good a job as possible and call it as they see it, so because of that, i would be happy to support your reappointment today. why don't we open up now to public comment? i know there are a number of people here. typically, i try to give every member of the public 3 minutes, but we do have concerns about losing a quorum because there's so much on the agenda, so i'm going to limit public comment to two minutes for individual. if there is any member of the public who would like to speak on item five, please come forward.

>> supervisors, i'm here as -- wearing a number of different hats, but two in fatigue killer as general counsel for san francisco lawyers association as well as the immediate, past, president, -- past, present, and current trustee for the mexican museum. aside from all the wonderful qualifications of already been put on the table, leroy king has been a longtime civil rights advocate across the country and is highly respected by members of the latino community, and a neutral good friend of ours is delores huerta, and we have what many picket lines as well as an advocate for people of color. i want to highlight two projects that commissioner came

-- commissioner king has been very supportive of. from the inception of the idea of the mexican development, he has been a strong advocate, and we have moved the project forward. the other important component is the south of market yerba buena gardens redevelopment area, and he has been very supportive of the filipino community, and there is still some work to be done in the filipino community, which is the largest ethnic minority in south of market, and he is there for that community, and we thank him very much for his hard work. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i am president of the san francisco redevelopment commission. lee roy king is a hero, a leader, and he has been one for

decades -- the lawyer -- leroy king. without him on the redevelopment agency, we would lose an encyclopedia, and his leadership, and with him, every two weeks when we have our meetings, i look to him for that leadership and that encyclopedic knowledge, which really makes our job much easier and much more effective, so with that, i support mr. king's reappointment. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> rev. arnold townsend, representing san francisco naacp today. let me be cautious because if i talk too much and too fast about mr. king, i will get emotional. there is an overwhelming amount of things that we could say, but let me just -- one story i remember him telling me -- i do not know if you all know it or

not, but there was a time when people look like the three of us were not even welcome in the supervisors' chambers until mr. king and some other longshoreman kick in some doors, and i mean that literally. the supervisor chamber doors, because of those kinds of policies. he is a hero, a mentor, a father figure for so many of us. for thousands. he was walking home one night about 11:00, and i was with a friend of mine, and he was walking down the street towards his home, and she asked about him walking down the street by himself, and i said that nobody would bother him. that would be suicide in this community. right now, we are running over to turk street because a project that mr. king spearheaded an may

happen, where we took money that the jewish high school had paid the agency to buy some land, said it aside so that it could buy it down some three, four, five, six-bedroom homes and will be able to seldom to certificate holders for around $150,000 for a little bit more. that is the kind of work he has been doing. in one of the dangers we have in this town and many cities because we glorified the youth culture and youth culture, and a lot of times we have people making decisions that do not have the information. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you, reverend. next speaker please. them to say that commissioner king is an experienced commissioner is an understatement. he is the icon of san francisco. i served with him for a good 12 years on the redevelopment

commission some 12 years ago. he is an advocate for minorities and an advocate for the lotus market housing. at the same time, whenever there are problems in the western addition, he would be the man they called for. he would put out the fires. at the same time, lee roy king -- we were -- leroy king worked on the project of public funded radio. to continue his legacy, i strongly support his reappointment. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. many years ago, union hall we did there was a sign -- a union hall, there was a sign that no dogs or chinese were allowed. there was and there is leroy
