be -- you would have a greeter when you come in and you could hire local individuals to welcome people, direct them, et cetera. so a look at local jobs and you want people when you come into a plates and y-- place we want pe to welcome you. clear signage is important. if you come in different doors you can get lost and either you get rid of the doors and have one or you have ways to find out where you are. increased access to conference and meetings. with all of the potential tenants we have talked about what their space needs are and pushed back so we don't need eight different conference rooms. we need a couple of conference rooms that they share. we need robust commuter labs that everybody can access. the staffing is the next bullet point. tony has done an amazing job of
9:31 pm
staffing the commission. as far as there being staff that can maintain the building management so when elevator is not working or lights are broke we need>> and the last point ta- about looking at this building, as within about green, innovative thinkers, we do everything from solar to rain barrels to things with fish and waste. how do we pilot some of the things in the community? the next slide talks about timeline. everyone wants to know when and how much. we don't really have answers to either. the best question that we have today is that we have been partnering with the department
9:32 pm
of public works. part of it is trying to get a sense of how much people asking for, and what would it look like as you plan of the building? it would be completed by the end of the summer. we have been handling community members. and we start having tenants moving in in january. and we would bring people and with the understanding that we're going to do work around folks. and will have the time line, and improvements that will take place. the other option is that you do the construction and wait a couple years which seems like
9:33 pm
not a great approach. the question about the budget has been raised and where we are now is really a working with the architects in getting a sense for what the budget is going to cost. we are in close conversations, and we know there is the money coming into the southeast center for the last several years. they hope to have its seven in. we can continue to engage in the southeast facilities commission. we have hundreds of meetings and that is why we have done about reach. we really do see the southeast
9:34 pm
commission of something. we have been there, it is the first bullet. we want to move as quickly as possible. we have been focused very much on the inside, stakeholders around the outside space.
9:35 pm
they complete the structure and design improvements. that is a lot to take in. this is not the first time you have heard this, we have been doing extensive conversations with people. we can open it up for questions at this point. they have been a partner and they can take comments if you like. i did not know how you like to do this. commissioner moran: i like to have the commissioners asked questions first and moved to the community. anyone from the commission that
9:36 pm
has any questions at this time? i see no hands. one. >> just a thank-you for an incredible presentation. [applause] i know how long it takes to put something like this together, but i also know what it took. there is a tremendous overview of what these next steps are. it sounds terrific in terms of the time line. her continue to be improved, it is a very unique facility.
9:37 pm
the more that we can get involved. it facilitates the $300 negative cash flow. i appreciate the work you have put into this presentation. >> the southeast community facilities commission, we brought this issue of the number of times. or some type of joint committee
9:38 pm
to where the plan is going to be transparent and during every step of this process, the community needs are being met in august, december, january, and throughout the process. >> it was based on the feedback, and do we come through the community facility committee of the southeast commission. is it that we do it through that? is there an understanding that we need to engage the commission. is it that committee that we should be coming true or delete >> of the southeast community facilities, we spent a lot of time having the individual conversations with you all as
9:39 pm
well as going back to those documents that talked-about your role and why you were created. the truth is, there is not enough bandwidth to have hundreds of meetings that we have been doing, literally, since december. we don't have enough staff to be doing that at that level. the southeast community facilities commission, the helpful role that you play is that you represent this building and you are supposed to be charged with providing ongoing guidance and ongoing feedback. if things are not working, i would hope we have regular conversations so you can hear if we have ideas. which is why we have spent so much time the fuel.
9:40 pm
we have heard about on-the-job training. the has been talked about what is in this space. we see you as a commission and a true partner and a collaborator, the voice of the community. i would not do anything else. as i mentioned, what does it actually look like? there are other items, individual point people from other commissions and other agencies. the role, you guys as a
9:41 pm
commission represent this community. >> going back to the idea of fostering employment. you went over hiring for various positions whether it be shuttle services or security services. how do we figure out a way for all of these services we provide. >> i think you should ask these questions in public. that is the intent. every time that we do hiring, we can report about what we're doing. that has been a commitment for a
9:42 pm
long time. we are excited about the opportunity to take over custodial security. and we are already in those types of partnerships, so the numerous conversations, talking to them about hiring as you think about opportunities. we are happy to be transparent and come back and have you guys ask questions. >> i want to thank you for having an open-door policy. he actually took time out of his busy schedule to explain the program.
9:43 pm
i still know everything about it. a couple things that this document that the former commissioner pointed out. some of the questions that i had, i was doing a lot of reading and there was supposed to be money that actually came back to the community from the tenants. is there a way that the community can be compensated? the facilities plan, i know i
9:44 pm
read that and i have been asking a lot of the residents here. it is written, but i am not sure if it is actually happening. >> maybe i can address that again. proceeds that exceed the cost of operations goes on to say that surplus funds should be used for a variety of things like that. where chosen not to charge. we have chosen to subsidize its. we have to have a conversation about how to charge them enough money. we only get about $475,000
9:45 pm
including the building. the cost of 800,000. we will have to raise all of those grants. that has been the problem, there is no surplus. >> because that did not work, moving forward, i am not for increasing that. i want to make sure that outside of this community, this business plan we are talking about, the jobs being created based on what is happening at the plant, we can come together and give back to our youth that is actually graduating. that is something that i would like to see move forward. there are enough creative
9:46 pm
people in the community where we can make sure that that happens. i wrote a lot of notes, i just wanted to echo what the commissioner said about making sure that as far as the janitorial service and security service is concerned, we look to the community first. i know that there are some janitorial services. they are actually certified with the redevelopment agency. when we speak of the community, i know you guys are not just looking at this active high facility. there is a lot of talent.
9:47 pm
and one last comment, i just wanted to say that a lot of times, the community says that we need jobs. i think that we need careers. [applause] we need to do a better job at doing that. it is more than construction jobs that are needed in this community. there are other things that we need to incorporate. i would like to see the center like that as far as what has been the success rate of people. i know you guys have been doing a very good job. i think we need to not just ask
9:48 pm
for jobs, we should be talking about careers. commissioner moran: anyone else? if the commission is completed, we will open it to the public. i don't know how many people will be speaking, but i think we need to put a limit like three minutes. three minutes is going to be the standard limit. for the community. >> i think i can do it in three minutes. one of the things i want you to do as my commissioners, set up a citizens committee work force committee that will represent
9:49 pm
you the commissioners here. have a list of the names of those groups alike to see a part of the work force. that is for the local work force raid here. i would like to see a moratorium of two years to make sure that we get a jumpstart on a low rent for the city college. in everything that i have seen here, you have made up your mind and a plan to what you want to see. what has to happen, we have to see what we want first and give it to you. they can't tell you this, but i can. we have a community here that
9:50 pm
put this together. they will go back and look at what we started with. i do not like the next step. you're saying the you bring something in here that i don't know anything about. a lot to know what type of training programs we are going to have. your commissioners -- that is your job to make that decision. >> that is what i thought he was doing. >> i don't know where she got it from, but who are you going to bring in here? what i am upset about is that we have someone to ignore this commission
9:51 pm
>> they may not be here in this facility, but they have been trying to engage people.
9:52 pm
i have done work with young people and community engagement. there are people that are willing to fund bayview. there can be some services, there can be some glasses, but if you look at it can -- nothing has everything that the community wants or needs. that is why you have some many people spread out. we have to do a better job of getting our young people and our community to spread out and be engaged with san francisco. we need to build of this community and provide resources. but we should not take away from the program that has already been here. if you need some of those programs, where they are and who
9:53 pm
is doing what, i have some of that information. unfortunately, what are two organizations have a comprehensive list of who is doing what. it might be a good idea to try to pull together those resources and where they are. i am not a city college student, but i am interested in the arts. to have a list like that is another way that we can provide services without having every single fang. understanding that they are available to us in the community. partnering with each other, that is heavily built a community. thank you. [applause]
9:54 pm
>> i have a board member at city college of san francisco and very proud graduate as well. i wanted to take the evening to vice president moran. like people being out here and talking about the community. of four to working with you and i look forward to my ongoing work and the board's were the southeast commission as well. it was very important for people to come out and add to what she was talking about related to city college. -- city college. i want to thank mother jackson for her information and her historical perspective about
9:55 pm
what happened before we got to this point. i want you to keep up that good work making sure that we know what is going on. there are two programs i am really excited about. it is the one stop program that we have here. we also have money for a single stock program as well. i look forward to the ongoing communication, collaboration. and i know that we will be successful, thank you very much. >> hello and good evening. i am the last one.
9:56 pm
thank you for actually having us here at the meeting and for feeding us tonight. i am a longtime resident, born and raised. i am also a student here at the city college. one of the things that i would appreciate living for is to actually have inputs from students. it sounds good, a looks good, but how come nobody has asked us? i like you went out and got some of the input. the usually want whatever is new to the community. i appreciate everything that was done, but i also appreciate input from the students.
9:57 pm
somebody from the inside looking out saying, you know what? we can use this. the piece that you presented earlier, i gave michael a card. i wanted to say, with that money, how come we can't put anything from our program. there are some new program of the health benefits. so many programs that are needed. let's give them some of the programs that they want. i love your idea for the horticulture classism and stuff. and way up here. i don't understand that we have so many tickets but nobody is taking care of the plants.
9:58 pm
when you build, we must plan. who will take care of them? if you walk at night, you don't know what is going to happen. they will catch a fire for that. technically, who is taking care of its. there are glasses that are needed and may help the community better itself. we used to have a custom painting class that we had to discontinue. i am the first female to graduate from the automotive engineering department. and that program. they don't know about what goes on. we have construction class is, automotive class's.
9:59 pm
we talk about people holding lives and stuff, i don't see nobody of color literally coming in to the class is. you have to have the ged. you don't come to city college for that, but that is where it is held. if we want to do more and get involved, there are glasses out there. when you talk about adding class is to the southeast, but some students involved. we are working together, but nobody is reaching out to us. you will continue to see empty classrooms. we need to work together somehow and pull it together. i am a lifelong student. there will not be a time where i will sp
