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. make the switch! [ female announcer ] call to get at&t u-verse -- now with free hd -- for only $29 a month

it's a large city family. >> dennis, thank you. thank you very much, dennis, for being here. commissioner normandy, supervisor carmen chu, thank you. good morning, everyone. larry, good to see you, great to be out there with the new labor center. wonderful. friends, family, emily, judy, good to see you. everybody, thank you for coming. entertainment commission, of course. thank you for being here. and commissioners, human rights commission, as well. we have 11 commissioners representing eight different commissions to swear in today. and i want to, again, thank each and every one of you for both new appointments and reappointments to our wonderful commissions. this is a very, very proud day for me because we're welcoming back people who have done great jobs in our city and running our

airports and our arts commissions, our civil service, our commission on the status of women, our environmental commission, our entertainment commission, our human rights commission and of course our rent board, something that i grew up with here at city with our rent board. i want to thank everyone here for coming for this wonderful occasion to ask again for a recommitment and a new commitment of our commissioners to serve our city. you don't get a lot of pay, as i understand, from doing this. i get a little pay but i depend upon your guidance and your policy calls for doing such a great job for our departments and also guiding the city and creating jobs and also getting work done with our department heads and that's why so many of them are here, as well. they are working hard to keep, during these very challenging economic times, a balance of

what it is to move the city forward, but also just the opportunity to keep our city together. that's a wonderful thing. and i know the rent board, for example, that whole tension between our landlord and tenants and making sure it's a well balanced thing. and our environment, to make sure we're not only doing the new things, but working with all of our agencies to get the best in energy efficiency and in our look at reducing our co-2 emissions right down to our civil service commission and as you know, we lost a very long-term civil servant in donald casper. we welcome in our new commissioner, as well. on our human rights commission, we have a lot of work to do. and i know that in keeping our city together, we have to also continue to fight obstacles of discrimination but also welcome in in a proper way small businesses and challenges to all

of the obstacles being created that are new to us. i want to welcome in our entertainment commissioners because they have that very, very fine balance that has to do with creating new opportunities of entertainment and dealing with our young community as well as our music entertainment community and balancing public safety. i'm excited with our arts commission. as you know, i've been a great supporter of the arts, all forms of arts, and seeing how it's helping us activate mid market street as well as our new central subways and all the opportunities we have. i want to thank you for stepping up. eleanor, our airports commission. airport is, of course, through john's leadership, one of the driving engines of our economy. we're going to work on high-speed rail, which would be part of the plan for our airports because if we don't

help reduce traffic between l.a. and san francisco, we'll not have the opportunities to get increases in our international tour thamp we want to have and the plane capacities, the land capacity. we have big challenges while we reinvent everyone one of our airport terminals and make them a beautiful place to land and be a part of. all of you, thank you very much for stepping up and being part of the city. if i may, to welcome in our fire chief, as well, thank you very much, chief white, for being here, to have you all stand and we are prepared to take the oath of office. if you can repeat your names -- [laughter] you may stand if you wish. repeat after you and the office that you will up on.

upon which i'm about to enter during such time as i hold the office of -- for the city and county of san francisco. congratulations, everybody. welcome in our new and reappointed commissioners. thank you. [applause]

>> in this fabulously beautiful persidio national park and near golden gate and running like a scar is this ugly highway. that was built in 1936 at the same time as the bridge and at that time the presidio was an army and they didn't want civilians on their turf. and the road was built high. >> we need access and you have

a 70 year-old facility that's inadequate for today's transportation needs. and in addition to that, you have the problem that it wasn't for site extenders. >> the rating for the high viaduct is a higher rating than that collapsed. and it was sapped quite a while before used and it was rusty before installed. >> a state highway through a federal national park connecting an independently managed bridge to city streets. this is a prescription for complication. >> it became clear unless there was one catalyst organization that took it on as a challenge,

it wouldn't happen and we did that and for people to advocate. and the project has a structural rating of 2 out of 100. >> you can see the rusting reinforcing in the concrete when you look at the edges now. the deck has steel reinforcing that's corroded and lost 2/3's of its strength. >> this was accelerated in 1989 when the earthquake hit and cal came in and strengthened but can't bring to standards. to fix this road will cost more than to replace. and for the last 18 years, we have been working on a design to replace the road way, but to

do in a way that makes it appropriate to be in a national park and not army post. >> i would say it's one of the most ugly structure, and it's a barrier between the mar sh and presidio. and this is a place and i brought my dogs and grandchildren and had a picnic lunch and it was memorable to use them when we come here. what would it look like when the design and development is completed. and we are not sure we want an eight lane highway going through this town. and it's a beautiful area in a national seaport area on the planet. >> the road is going to be so

different. it's really a park way, and it's a parkway through the national park. and they make the road disapeer to the national park. >> and the road is about 20 feet lower, normally midday, you go through it in two minutes. looking back from the golden gate bridge to presidio, you are more aware of the park land and less of the roads. and the viaduct will parallel the existing one and to the south and can be built while the existing one remains in operation. and the two bridges there with open space between them and

your views constantly change and not aware of the traffic in the opposite direction and notice the views more. and the lanes of course are a foot wider than they are today. and they will be shoulders and if your car is disabled, you can pull off to the edge. and the next area, the tunnel portal will have a view centered on the palace of fine arts and as you come out, you can see alkatrez island and bay. and the next area is about 1,000 feet long. and when you come into one, you can see through the other end. it's almost like driving through a building than through a tunnel. and noise from the roadway will be sheltered. and the traffic will be out of view. >> when you come out of the

last sort tunnel and as you look forward, you see the golden dome of the palace of fine arts and what more perfect way to come to san francisco through that gateway. >> it will be an amazing transformation. now you read it as one section, the road is a major barrier and then a wonderful strip along the water. all of those things are going to mesh together. >> right now the road really cuts off this area from public access. and with the new road, we will be able to open up the opportunity in a new way. >> this bunker that we see now is out of access for the general public. we are excited to completely

rework this side and to open up the magnificent views. and what we want to do is add to this wonderful amenity and restore this coastal bluff area and respect its military history and the doyle drive project is allowing us to do that recorrection. and this area is not splintered off. >> and we can see how dramatic a change it will be when doyle drive is suppressd and you have a cover that connects the cemetery to this project. it's historic on the statewide and national basis, but you could rush the project or put thought and time to create
