public comment is closed. >> i would like to make a motion that we support the health care security ordinance with the recommended amendments from the office of small businesses. >> do we have a second? >> i second. >> ok. commissioners. just to clarify the recommendation about the -- to provide language for the separation of employment is that to be included in a motion or is that just direction to staff? >> i think that is just direction to staff. >> ok. thank you, commissioners. the motion by commissioner dooley is to recommend approval of the ordinance and amend sections 14.1 b to read 10 business days and section 1.4 e five business days and 5.3 to list a 12-month reporting period.

who seconded that motion? >> me. >> president, would you like a role call? >> yes, please, for the record. >> commissioners, adams? >> aye. >> clyde. >> aye. >> dooley. >> aye. riley. >> aye. >> it passes 5-0. >> thank you. next item, please. >> commissioners, item 11, directors report. an update on the report of small business. update on departmentment programs and make announcements regarding small business activities. special item. >> commissioners, i will submit to you in writing mostly the directors report, just a couple of things to just note. one, i did want to say, i also wanted to thank you for your leadership and guidance.

that helped staff greatly when we, you know, get direction as well from you. so the one thing i did want to address in my directors report in regards to health care ordinance and will i think this is probably a -- whether this falls under policy or under outreach and economic. but with the affordable care act going into implementation, those phases, there is going to be reporting of amounts that businesses are going to have to do. for small businesses, i don't think that kicks in until -- you know, after 2014, but it is going to have -- they are going to have to report on their w-2's the amount of expenditure they pay for an employee's health care.

and i participated in the webinar to be able to start getting a better grasp as to what the affordable act will mean the small businesses. i think this commission, it would be great to have this commission take some leadership and conduct some special hearings to start getting information about what the affordable health care act is going to require and how that interfaces with the health care security ordinance so that we're working -- so by 2014 if there are any changes that need to be made on an administrative function in terms of reporting that we simplify as much as we possibly can so this i think for 2012, this will be a significant project for the commission. so just wanted to bring that to

your attention. and then lastly, just wanted to note that we have -- we're winding down on the presentations to the small business community around america's cup and to have -- did approximately 30 presentations in october. so there are still a few more to do but just wanted to let you know that we have been trying to do as much outreach and you received the presentation so -- but if there is any questions in, you know, from businesses that you talked to, i know that we still need to reach out to the businesses and the designed area and -- but this is for how business can engage in business. that's pretty well winded down and so -- we'll be discussing the next phase will be really working with our neighborhood commercial corridors and how we

work to market and promote them. so i'll conclude and submit the rest in writing to you. >> thank you. no further comment in this. next item, please prsm >> commissioners, the next item, i apologize from including it from the previous month. i believe i do have to call it and then we can move on. that was discussion of possible action to approve the office of small business 2011-2012 budget. that was approved by you last month. >> ok. next item. >> commissioners. item 13. legislative policy committee report. >> i was not aable to attend though i would like to defer to commissioner o'brien for any comments he might want to make. >> i'm not going going to make any comments. i'll refer to next month. >> next item. >> commissioners, item 12. committee report. >> we have nothing to report.

>> item 15. outreach committee report. >> we did not meet. thank you. >> commissioners, 16. president's report. >> nothing to report this month. >> commissioners, 17, vice president's report. >> i would just like to report i did attend the council of district merchants dinner october 28 along with commissioner dooley. director -- and that's the san francisco merchant district's dinner where we honored captain greg corales of mission station who does an amazing number of things for small businesses in that area. i forget the firefighter's name that we honored that night too. >> a wonderful woman. >> yeah, she was a breast cancer survivor and she assists fire

fighters with cancer. if san francisco we have high clusters. i thought that was pretty moving. so that's it, other than visiting neighborhood merchants association. >> thank you. next item. >> commissioners, 18, commissioner reports. >> my report is brief as commissioner adams says i attended the merchant district's dinner and i have been working with american express directly in regards to small business saturday and trying kind of tweak a few things to make it work for san francisco because it is kind of a boilerplate so then i've been able to make some recommend dages that will work better for our san francisco businesses and help with the rollout for that so i'm still continuing working as kind of a

liaison with them so if anybody has any comments they want to incorporate, please let me know because i speak to them every single day. >> well, i want to thank you for that because i'm noticing a lot more people are participating this year than last year. so i would like to thank you for that. i've noticed a lot of people have that small business saturday sticker now on their businesses. >> we're going to have little cards that are going to be push -- passed out in the next few days to let the shoppers know advance that there is something special going on. >> yeah, my merchants didn't know what was going onened that year, because they did that presentation, everybody wants to get involved. >> so we're going to be rolling out to posters. the small cards that they can take with them.

to remind them. so when they are making a sale, they can say hey, be sure to come back on saturday. you get a $25 off your purchase on american express that day. we want to get as much information out there as possible so it is widely utilized. >> great. >> if i may call the item for commissioner reports. >> you called it. >> ok. i just want to highlight one meeting, the america's cup presentation to the manufactures. i attended that meeting. it was really informative and it was great to see so many manufacturers excited about america's cup doing business with america's cup and during america's cup using it as, you know, an impetus for their businesses and i would like to for the public, just note that

america -- s.f. maid now has a pop-up store in the banana republic flagship ship which i think is a real win for them. what great thing for a national retailer, banana republic, which started here, the gap, to feature san francisco-made products in their flagship store. it is going to be ongoing. >> it is through the season. the holiday season. it was great to go and meet the different owners of of the small businesses. i spoke to the -- coffee and chocolateiers. it was nice to see the businesses supporting each other. that's all i would like to highlight but thank you. >> i just want to comment one more thing too. we have been having meetings concerning small business week. 2012. and right now, we are doing outreach to raise funds for this.

so if anybody is interested in helping out -- we're going to have flavors again. we're trying expand it to a breakfast this year and all-day workshops. once get a lot of this stuff finalized, i will be bringing it back in front of this commission. >> any other commissioner reports? seeing none, next item. >> commissioners item 19. general public comment. seeing none. next item. >> commissioners 20. new business. >> commissioner clyde? commissioner clyde: this week, sfgovernmenttv, pg & e and the new power program. the rates for the renewable

energy s.f. program, the renewable energy, apparently the rates for residential will go up between $7 and $14 a month. it was very interesting to me as a san francisco resident some of the assumptions that were made in the presentation, one is well, $7 isn't that much. a couple of lattes. $14 a month for a larger place isn't so much. what struck me is the cost to businesses of electric rates. what will they jump when san francisco is all thely enrolled in -- automatically enrolled in the green energy program and that's, you know, the gist of it is everyone in san francisco will be enrolled in this program at once. and yes, it is the right thing to do for the environment, to use as much renewable energy as we can, but i think when we look

forward, we should have a presentation on what impact this will have to our business community. and analysis to have rates for pg & e. these ongoing to costs and their increases are extremely significant to our small business community. thanks. >> was that community choicing a -- choice aggregation? >> yes. community choice aggregation. >> it was not at lafco. it was -- i'll go back. but the presentation that i audited was on community choice aggregation that everyone, all the residents will be enrolled in it and it will increase the average residential cost from $7 to $14 and up. depending on the size of your

house. now, this asks, you know, this starts -- >> pardon me, commissioner. can i pause for one moment, for meeting, the recording. >> is it rolling? >> it is rolling. >> ok. just quickly, could you -- we did have something in the news letter, we have been contacted by pg & e. they are working with sf environments through outreach because of this automatic enrollment. will you just take a look at the news letter and make sure that is what you talking about. they did approach us and i did make a note to them that did want to have a presentation to the commission at one of our

upcoming meetings. so and then we can ask about the -- you know, the -- their plans for outreach. s.f. environment has an ongoing plan for doing outreach. >> thank you. >> next item. >> commissioners, item 21. adjournment. is there a motion to adjourn? >> motion to adjourn. >> commissioners, the meeting is adjourned at 8:5 2:00 p.m.

supervisor mar: meeting of the land use and economic development committee. the meeting will come to order. to my left is supervisor wiener, and malia cohen will not be with us today. can you please give us the announcements? >> please turn off all sell funds. if you wish to speak during public comment, turn them into myself. if you have any documents for the committee, -- items will appear on december 6, 2011 unless otherwise stated. supervisor mar: we have four

items on the agenda today. >> resolution approving the property near the intersection of ocean avenue where a public plaza for 75 years -- supervisor mar: we have the director of real estate for the city. >> good afternoon, chair. so this is the fifth of five plant pieces of legislation that involve the redevelopment of the area near the bus loop. previously, you have recommended approval for a complex exchange data involved jurisdiction of transfers and exchanges between sfmta and puc. the sale of land with mixed use development that is under way. and the really classic transitory and the project. today, we are focusing on what

will become the plaza de way from ocean avenue to the new city college and campus facilities. and in the attached development for the reservoir property is owned by the puc. i put some there for the context. this is the area right in the heart of the plan. this is under sfmta jurisdiction. the sfmta has secured a grant to provide sufficient funds along with other funding to reconfigure and relocate the bus loop, and design and build of the plaza on the building. it has granted the sfmta $1.2 million for construction of the plaza. this is a context shot showing

the area in yellow and the facilities of city college to the right. this is a little more detailed. you see the plaza area prospectively in green that is currently the bus loop. it will remain as such until funding is in place. i will give you more details and a second. this is a visual of what the plaza area will look like. we're going to transform the asphalt into this, a much more inviting area. this item is approval of a lease between the city and the city college. it will allow the city college to maintain and control with certain provisos for a term of 75 years. it is estimated the cost will be approximately $12 million over

the term of the lease. it is reflecting much in liability -- the city college accepts that responsibility for the 75-year term. there is the gateway that you saw in the rendering. social and entertainment areas with a vending and retail uses that include a molehill vendors or a farmer's market. supervisor mar: mobile vendors like food trucks? >> likely in conjunction with farmers' market to activate the plaza. it is anticipated the plaza will be completed in 2015. this is consistent with motion 17775 of the plan that was adopted on december 4 of 20,000 -- in 2008.

it was adopted by the board of supervisors in 2009. the sfmta approve the process in their resolution. and the board of trustees has unanimously approved this as well in a meeting on june 20, 2011. the apartment -- the apartment found it consistent -- all of these items are part of the board filed. i am joined by lisa from the office of economic work force development. she has my personal gratitude for her tenacity to keep this moving forward and i am pleased to finally get this final piece of the puzzle for you today. i am happy to answer questions you might have. supervisor mar: seeing no questions, let us open it up for

public comment. anyone like to speak? we have hannah stewart and brittany hammond that have signed up to speak. >> walter paulson. ♪ oh, city, take a look at me no you are there on the floor wanting me to have better land use now ♪ ♪ don't go thinking of want collegi don't want better college districts maybe i do ♪ supervisor mar: miss stewart, miss hammonds, please come forward. >> my hame is hannah stewart.

my comment pertains to the first issue being the proper release me of the intersection of ocean avenue college district. i believe the development for a public plaza for the next 75 years, it will benefit the surrounding community under certain conditions. they can be beneficial if it contained a more natural landscape and even worked toward a community garden where neighbors of the community college of san francisco can attend. if it contains benches and tables i believe it will bring the students to study and me go outside rather than being contained to and in your library -- and mingle outside rather than being contained in an indoor library. there are numerous restaurants in ocean avenue, and it will

give them a place to sit outdoors and properly dispose of the leftovers. it will that a fund -- benefit from it. [inaudible] the sentence is the planning commission certified the final environmental and back report in which supports another reason why this should be granted. granting sufficient funds so they can relocate the muni bus. this public plaza has the potential to bring surrounding communities together in a place for students how to interact in a more natural landscape. i look forward to hearing the outcome and hopefully one day visiting the plaza. supervisor mar: thank you. >> i'm brittany hammond from san francisco state university. i am here to kind of understand how public hearings work. but also, i'm in support of the

plan, because i feel like it will be a good way for the city to kind of have more community vibe. it is easy for people to just go to work and go home, but i think it will have an opportunity to have a nice green space. i think that that's really important. there have been studies done about people that have seen green spaces and it relaxes them a bit more. i think that is really good to go ahead with it. supervisor mar: thank you. is there anyone else that would

like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. to the san francisco state students, this is a good opportunity because the planning director is here. there is a great proposal for the expansion of the museum of modern art as next month. the development you're talking about, there are a bunch of different agencies that are involved. who controls the plaza will be the community college board. that might be another local body to look at as a plan in the future. lisa who is from the office of economic workforce development, a great use of this transit oriented development as mr. updike explained. so, supervisor wiener, can we move this forward? thank you. mr. young, claall items 2, 3, and 4 together.

>> amending the section planning tocode to change the classification from public to downtown support district. from excuse residential to public as part of the san francisco museum of modern art expansion project. supervisor mar: we have a number of speakers -- >> two more to read. ordinance amending hunt street as part of the modern art museum expansion project. ordinance of amending the 40 -as part of the san francisco museum of modern art expansion. >> good afternoon, supervisors.

i am happy to say that we are in a position to bring approval before you before the region for the expansion of the sf moma. this project is the result of an innovative plan to swap between the city and the sf moma > . they continue the certification under a number of approval actions. we are here to ask this committee to approve the action and forward them on to the board. sf moma plans to build and expand the museum to house the fischer collection and generally expand its collection. sf moma has already acquired the old college building and acquire fire station number one. sf moma will demolish both structures and construct a new

wing. in return, the museum will build at no cost to the city, a new fire station and a superior location at 935 fulsom. this proposal is win-win for t he city. it allows them to provide for the fire department, a brand new fire station that is superior in its physical layout and location. in terms of the economic benefits of the project, these are only items that can be easily quantified, museum expansion alone will generate 1100 construction jobs. the annual ongoing contribution in terms of property and sales taxes is expected to see $1 million. and the fire station itself, it exceeds the value of what the city gives to the
