impact may be too disparate throughout the city. >> we will certainly contact the supervisor's office immediately to sit down and figure out how to make this community agreement a lot more solid. supervisor kim: thank you very much. supervisor chu: in terms of the pipeline that was allocated for college track, that was done through the redevelopment commission. >> yes. supervisor chu: and the $15 million is before us today in terms of the in dignity. and the remainder is about $11 million roughly. do we know what is in the pipeline if there will be additional ones that come before us? >> the next project submitted an application, a group for family housing in mission bay. and providing that this is resolved in january, we expect that our commission will go ahead and provide them the

indemnification. the other thing we're looking at is the to look at other options. we have already started to have conversations with investors about not going down this path again and looking for alternative ways to do this, as opposed to going through the city of san francisco. supervisor chu: ok. i know there was a tight timeline, because there was another partner investor who would see their critics inspired him -- expire, so we need to move toward expeditiously. i appreciate this committee seeing this item, but i think it is absolutely important to see the budget analyst report before we make a determination i would like to send this item out without recommendation until we do see the report, which should come before our next board meeting. >> and we will work pretty handily with the office to make sure that gets to us. supervisor chu: great.

finally, with regards to the risk, it sounds like, in terms of the risks that you have talked about in the case of a recapture, it is perceived as a fairly small risk, if anything, and they're mostly things we can control. >correct? >> yes. supervisor chu: and i think there was a statement in terms of the bad for a provision -- of the bad boy provision that is not so much the sfjazz organization, but it is really the nonprofit organization and redevelopment, correct? >> yes. it is community development entity that we created. obviously members of the city administration are on the board of directors. it is really that entity, in collusion with the nonprofit, sfjazz was accused of fraudulent activities, which is in our mind

extremely remote. supervisor chu: and the folks on the body currently would be? >> currently, fred blackwell, executive director of the redevelopment agency, myself, nadia, brian from the capital planning program, and jennifer from the office of workforce development. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any members of the public who wish to speak on number 12? >> hello peter i am executive operating director at sfjazz. i want to respond to the comments regarding the outreach to the western addition, fillmore, and the jazz heritage area. we have been listening to and have been taking action on the request to reach out further and more closely to those areas. we held a community organization roundtable in may

of this year. we invited members of community organizations in to talk about what they might want and what they might seek from the sfjazz and to see how we could benefit in partnerships. representation that that committee -- commended the session that we had, there were members of the jazz heritage center there in the jazz heritage district. and they all thank us for having that open forum, because they felt it was a good step to building the bridges across all the different organizations involved in jazz in music education. and we all promised together to continue that collaboration going forward. since then, we have established in committed to, with the jazz heritage center, a discover jazz series on women. that is going to be held in the spring. it is part of our spring catalog

and part of the jazz heritage center's program activities for the spring. it will be held at the jazz and heritage center. we feel that is one good way to start bridging the connection between our two organizations and making sure that we're able to bring the artists, the educational and back, and the staff want to bring overall to san francisco to a tighter and closer collaboration. we think we're moving along in that path. that is becoming more of a part of what we're doing as an organization. and we're happy to work some of those specific activities and to specificcba to make it be part of this activity. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: can i ask a question, please? thank you. i appreciate your comments and presentation. the last sentence is more important to me. that is, working things into the cba. we have seen agreements that if they're not well spelled out, they're not necessarily always

honored. so it is important to me that upfront that we have, i think, the full menu of what is possible between a relationship of those usyouth and the residents of the population, of the fillmore and western addition, who also proud of the jazz heritage and how that intersects with sfjazz and the center. whether that is delineated in a higher number of scholarships, other than 10% city-wide. because it does not give any preference. we do not know where those 10% would come from. that is not really speak to me as the advocate for my district. if it is more about hoping that san francisco would have wised up and put the jazz festival at the fillmore, which it does not do, that would be great, if there was some facilitation of that idea.

if it was something that creates more of an enterprising relationship between sfjazz and businesses on lower fillmore, i think that would be a step in the right direction. i think that that warrants a little more throughput in sculpting what that may look like. but typically, and trust me, there are days in a redevelopment and other large and not so large projects, cba's are usually a lot bigger than this. when i am looking at a three- page community benefits agreement for a project of this size and this kind of investment in an area that borders a district that has been well- challenged for the last 40 years because of redevelopment and other reasons, i am just hoping something better can come out of this. we appreciate every effort. >> and i trust that our actions are moving along that direction. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. supervisor chu: are there

additional individuals who would like to speak on item number 12? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, this item is before us. if we can entertain a motion to send it out of committee with that recommendation at this time, pending a report. supervisor mirkarimi: will this go to next tuesday or the tuesday after? >> it will be next week on tuesday. supervisor mirkarimi: and the budget will be ready by then, ok. one more question, through the chair, please. what is the timeline on the cba? you said this is ancillary, but in this whole equation, does the cba have a role? in our decision making process and how we can influence that? >> it runs in tandem with the

closing. the goal is that on the day of the closing, october 11, this agreement will be executed. until then, it is a working document. supervisor mirkarimi: but we do not have much time. if i am not mistaken, october 11 is a holiday. >> the day after. supervisor mirkarimi: we have no board meeting that week. i want to signal that that means the cba is considered firm by october 11, correct? >> yes. supervisor mirkarimi: i think my dad was right on this one by spotlighting the fact that we have something before us that needs more work and we do not really have the time line to support what i think that work is and where i think this work should go. i am more than happy to try to pay some attention to this, but who is going to take point on this? >> i am. supervisor mirkarimi: i just want to circle the wagons on this so we do not leave this amended or incomplete. so let's develop a plan after we

talk here about how we sort of solidify some of these in detail so that they comport with all parties, including supervisor kim and others should they be -- should they be interested. >> we will do everything we can to comply. supervisor mirkarimi: and we can innovate if we can, maybe with some of the other cba's that have been developed, reflective of their projects and developments that have come before us. we might want to glean from those as they might be applied to this area as well, too. >> great, thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. supervisor chu: i want to be clear, this resolution is going to the full board on october 4? >> yes, the october 4 meeting. supervisor chu: and we expect to have a budget analyst report by october 3. colleagues, we have a motion on the floor. can we take that without objection?

ok, thank you. do we have any other items before us? >> the complete the agenda. supervisor chu: thank you. we are adjourned.

>> san francisco and the league of california cities 113th annual conference. i'm mike casperzack, vice mayor of the city of mountain view and your league's first vice president. your league president, jim rightenour, mayor of modesto, who we see on the screen here, could not be with us today. so they called in the second string. jim had some recent health issues, but by all accounts he's doing very well. he's back at home and i'm waiting for him to pick up his blackberry so we can start texting again. let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers, though, as we work together during the next three days. now, won't you please join me again in thanking today's opening ceremony's participants

including the san francisco police department color guard and byron pope from beverly hills. we have a great city clerk from mountain view but she doesn't sing like birom. let's give it up for them both. your annual conference is a critical time for our entire league to come together, learn, and celebrate this year's accomplishments as we plan ahead for the coming year. cities are the cornerstone of our great state, and this year's conference theme is, cities standing strong for cities. we are stronger individually when we are strong collectively, and that is precisely why your league of california cities exists. we are 482 separate cities, but the league's efforts for all california cities ensure that each city is stronger. it's our strength together that

has been instrumental in the league's advocacy this year. last year, we successfully passed proposition 22 which provided strong protections for local revenues. did you know that this was our fourth, or depending on how you count, if you include 1998 and 1999 at one and two, fourth or fifth straight victory at the ballot box. your league has truly become a powerful force in the state political arena. [applause] but who would have guessed that just a few months later, in january of this year, our newly elected governor would announce his intention to eliminate redevelopment agencies throughout california in a way that clearly violates the new california constitution. in the process, his proposal would have killed 300,000 private sector jobs that

redevelopment finances each year. the governor's proposal sparked an outcry not only by city officials, but by many others concerned about the devastating economic impact such an action would have on local communities and the state as a whole. despite our collective efforts, the governor's proposal was modified, in part, and married with another unconstitutional bill to extort huge ransoms from the state if we want to avoid ex extinction of our r.d.a.'s. the league hasn't taken that action lying down, either. but i wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your efforts in passing proposition 22 and for our efforts to save redevelopment and let's give ourselves a round of applause for that work. [applause] now, you'll notice in your program that we were supposed to be joined today by james

mitchell, the president of the flacial league of cities, but for reasons of business, he was not able to get out to california from charlotte where he serves as a council member. james is a great guy, a strong proponent of california cities, and i know he passes on his best wishes for us all. now, turning our attention to the annual conference, the reason why we're all here in this great city. let's focus on what's ahead for the conference this week. the program is designed to provide you with information and resources that you can take back to your cities and put directly into action. we are here in san francisco to learn from the experts and each other over the course of the conference. both the on-site program and the

conference-at-a-glance page you received at registration will help you navigate the sessions, meetings and events. look for an expo map to identify the 240 companies exhibiting in this year's expo. i know you won't want to miss the expo tomorrow and friday where you'll find many products and services that can help your city. if you'll permit me to to make a shameless commercial plug, please look at page 34 in your conference program and circle booth 908. here's the reason for that. we're plugging this booth because it's ours and all of yours. it's california communities and u.s. communities. these organizations provide important products and services to cities at a great discount and both are an important part of the league and help keep your league dues as low as possible. when you visit the expo tomorrow, stop by booth 908 to

learn more about how your city can access tax-exempt financing and pooled purchasing power. the expo opens at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow and closes at 5:00 p.m. also, don't forget to enter your city for one of three grand prizes being given on friday afternoon at the closing session. cardiac sciences is giving away two automated external defibrillators or a.e.d.'s, to two lucky cities. cool 'em technologies, whose founder is richard lowenthal, is giving one lucky city an electric vehicle charging station plus $1,000 towards its installation, and for those people starting to get electric cars, maybe a volt or a leaf, what's going to come in really handy. enter your city in the bin just inside the entrance to the expo

hall. it goes without saying that your league staff is here to help with any information or questions you may have about the conference. today, they're wearing black shirts, and tomorrow, they'll be in red shirts. let's give a big thank you to our league partners, the sponsors of this year's prestigious helen putnam awards and the partner's speaker's theater located on the expo floor. the partners are doing an hourly raffle at the partners village and will be giving away five kindles and five samsung galaxy tablets. you'll want to make sure you're compliant with all of the state gift rules. one item will be drawn every hour starting at noon tomorrow. the league partners village features the companies and organizations that work closely with the league on behalf of cities. your partners provide expert information and help frame

issues, develop programs for cities and help influence policy making in the interests of cities. be sure to say hello to the league partners who are here for this annual conference. they're wearing white ribbons identifying them as league partners. so please give them a special thank you as you go around and visit them at the expo and thank them for being league partners because they do help make your league a better organization so that it can help all of california's cities stand strong for cities. now, before i introduce our host, san francisco mayor ed lee, i want to highlight tonight's activities. first, from 6:00 to 7:00, we have the host city reception conveniently located right outside the hall here on the third level foyer as you exit the session. at 7:15, head north up mission street one block to the saint regis hotel for the sixth annual

leadership gala casino night which helps support city pack and without city pack, we wouldn't have had proposition 22. so, enough of the public service announcements. we are excited and honored to be in san francisco, consistently rated as one of the most popular cities in the world, for this year's 113th annual conference. the state's fourth largest city has hosted our conference several times and we are thrilled to be back. please help me in welcoming san francisco mayor ed lee. [applause] mayor lee: good afternoon. and welcome. welcome to the world series champion city and county of

san francisco. i may not be much of a politician, but i certainly know how to trash talk. and i want you to know that that's how i introduce myself when i'm at the u.s. conference of mayors. i kind of say, hey, i'm ed lee, i'm the mayor of the world champion city of san francisco, what are you mayor of? i wanted to welcome all of you here to moscone center, our center of conventions and also to san francisco. and i hope you are enjoying the weather. as mayor of san francisco, i like to welcome you to our city. it's a small city that dares to dream big, bound only by our capacity to imagine. and i would also like to welcome you to the greenest city in north america. i'm so pleased that i'm able to welcome you here today and many of you know, i used to be the city's administrator before i

became mayor. and as a result, i've seen things from both sides. as a long time public servant, and now as mayor. so i have a pretty good idea on how and what it takes to make a city run so i want to thank each and every one of you for all of your good work because your commitment to your communities and your maintaining the citizens' trust in government, that's what we have to do as cities today. whether you've been in government for just a few days, a few months, or for many years, it's always nice ton that your work is appreciated and i do appreciate all the members of the california league and everyone that works in our cities. and we'll be celebrating some of that good work here today when the winners of the helen putnam awards are honored. in these challenging economic

times, we're all faced with unacceptably high unemployment, the demands of a shrinking budget and the potential for tough choices in making public sector layoffs. despite all of this, we are working hard to maintain the quality of services and programs our residents deserve while balancing the economic constraints that we're all facing. san francisco, like most cities, has significantly been affected by the state's budgetary crisis. i continue to be very concerned about redevelopment, public safety realignment and the programmatic reductions that have been enacted, all of which will harm our ability to create jobs, building the housing and infrastructure we need, and hurt the residents of our communities. on redevelopment, i, like many of you, have been focused on protecting important development projects that are working to

create jobs, invest in our infrastructure and affordable housing and rebuild our communities. the league of california cities has played a leadership role in the fight against the unwise elimination of redevelopment, and i want to thank all of you for that. in san francisco, we are focused on transformational projects which will have a major impact on san francisco, as well as the entire region, projects that will connect our communities, connect our cities, connect our regions, and connect our states, projects like the transbay terminal which will be the northern terminus of our california high-speed rail, or the central subway project, which will help san franciscans create a world class 21st century transportation system that realizes our transit first policy, or projects like

treasure island, a base reuse project that will create thousands of new housing units and an entirely new neighborhood in san francisco, or projects like our hunters point shipyard project that will be transforming communities, revitalizing neighborhoods, keeping our families in our cities with thousands of units of housing, parklands, and allow us to build a world class stadium to keep the san francisco 49ers right here in our city, projects like these throughout the state will make a big difference in our economic recovery. as you may also know, i'm a big supporter of high-speed rail. i believe it really needs to be part of our transportation future. this issue is critical to me as a mayor because our economic future depends upon people being able to move throughout our state with ease on roads, rails and in the skies.

currently, nearly one-third of all of our air traffic from san francisco international airport is for flights from san francisco to the los angeles area. for those of you who have flown into s.f.o., you have noticed that our airport has no room to expand. what this means is that we have to find ways to shift the san francisco-to-los angeles air draft out of the skies and on to the rails. by moving towards high-speed rail, we not only improve the transportation system in the state, but we also improve our local economy by providing more opportunities for commerce and tourism. i hope that, as leaders in our communities, we can work together to ensure that the promise of high-speed rail is delivered to all californians. finally, i'd just like to thank you for coming here to san francisco and to invite you back. as many of you know, we are

hosting the 34th america's cup, the third largest international sporting event in the world. thank you. [applause] america's cup will be a spectacular event and i hope that you will come back to san francisco and to the other communities around the bay area to enjoy world class sailing on our bay. by the way, if you're from southern california, there will be preliminary races this november in san diego, so you can get a taste of what these competitors can do. and i also want to welcome my good friend who's going to be speaking this afternoon on your keynote. that's chris vene who used to be our chief information officer, and now he's working at the white house as the deputy information officer, technology officer for the white house. i welcome him in, as well. again, thank you for being here. the league of california cities,

thank you for enjoying our weather, our convention center. and i wish you well in all of the subjects you cover today and again, thank you for every contribution you make to improving the quality of life for everybody in our state. thank you for coming here. [applause]
