whether it would just be an agreement with state land or whether it would require an act of the legislature. supervisor chu: could you repeat that again? subject to -- >> subject to an agreement with the california state lands commission. supervisor chu: ok. and then terms of technically how we would do this. it is currently i think part of the d.d.a., not necessarily a resolution. and so can we -- i guess we don't need to take a motion but is there a commitment to make that? >> we can bring that change of the d.d.a. to the committee as a whole. and if you'd like as well to amend the resolution to urge important staff to go get the agreement with state lands commission to dedicate the 1% to affordable housing on port property. that could be a way that you could put it in the resolution

right now. supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: and thank you for that clarification. that is correct. as long as we have a commitment that language will be inserted into the d.d.a. i am comfortable with moving forward on that. supervisor chu: ok, colleagues. thank you very much for all of the comments. i know it was a fairly painful process to go through all of the different amendments necessary. i think we've taken all the amendments and we've clarified some direction for areas we want to make sure it comes back and the d.d.a. is reflective of it. in terms of the items that were provided in the charts, the budgets and finance committee responses, if these are the items that i think mike went into detail on. we didn't talk about the ones about how the d.d.a. will reflect new language. that's not necessarily a motion we need to take. i think the direction from the committee is that we will accept those items and hope

they are reflected in the d.d.a. supervisor kim talked about the component of the 1% of sales being dedicated to affordable housing so as long as that we are in agreement with the california state lands and so that language, i believe, we're hoping that will be included. it sounds like we are also wanting the event authority and our statue to work as much as possible to get language that mirrors our local work force hiring components so that was something that supervisor avalos had spoken about and finally, i think with regards to m.o.u., that's an open item that we hope that there's going to be some comments from committee members if there are areas or suggestions on how to strengthen that language and the commitment i'm hearing is to get that m.o.u. to us before, in advance of the tuesday meeting so that we can review that, right? ok, i see heads nodding. so colleagues, the items are

before us as amended. do we have a motion on these items? supervisor chiu? supervisor kim? supervisor kim: thank you. ok. so i think that we have made some headway at this meeting. i am happy to see some of the amendments that have been put in i do just want to say a couple of things. i was more hopeful that we would have local hire amendments ready at this committee meeting but i will defer on supervisor avalos on that in working through in the next couple of days to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to ensure that we have local hiring in this d.d.a. that is something that can only be done in this d.d.a. to ensure that that happens. there are a number of concerns that i have in this d.d.a., but i realize that there are a couple more steps i can take.

one was the upper water basin. i will continue to be active on this issue in ensuring that we are able to protect our views for members of the public able to use this park once that is depleted. there is another level of process that's going to go into effect before that. i'm willing to do that without removing it directly on the d.d.a. the second issue that will be very important to me in my vote on tuesday is the 1% of condo proceeds on the second sale that goes to the poor. that is still something that's very important to me and many of my colleagues. i do appreciate that we will be able to see subsequent sales go towards the housing on port property. that is of great value to our community and our city.

as our city takes a renewed effort on finding sources of funding for affordable housing, i'm happy to see there will be one of the revenue streams. so i want to see language about local hiring to ensure we are doing everything we can and i look forward to supporting supervisor avalos whose office is taking the lead on negotiating that and will certainly look at that when evaluating my vote on tuesday. i would still like to continue this discussion on 1% sale proceeds, on the second sale going to the port but i am pleased to have seen some of the developments that have taken place over the last couple of hours today and do want to appreciate everyone for their work on this. i still have some concerns about what this means for our city in the long term and there's a leap of faith that many of us are taking in moving

this forward but i think that we still have a little bit more work to do but i think that there's been enough effort that i have seen to move this out of committee today. supervisor chu: i just wanted to complarify are you making a motion to send items four and five to the full board without recommendation as amended? supervisor kim: that is correct. supervisor chu: supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: thank you, supervisor chu -- which you. i actually feel that we shouldn't move forward. i prefer that we keep in committee in item, specifically the outstanding issues we've expressed. i will be voting against that. i want to be sure we keep our leverage. that's why i'll be voting against the motion to move out without recommendation. supervisor chu: supervisor camp

os? supervisor campos: thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to sit in and all the folks who have come out and testified about this. i do appreciate some of the progress that has been made but i do want to agree with what supervisor avalos expresses. i think this has been a missed opportunity for this committee. when this project came before us and the e.i.r. was before the board, to the extent that there were questions about what this deal looked like, the response at the time was don't worry, you'll be able to make changes when the d.d.a. comes before the board of supervisors. when this item came before this committee, the guidance that was given to us and what was reiterated was you cannot make changes to the d.d.a. because that's an agreement and so you as a board of supervisors cannot make shows changes. and the only document that we as a board have an authority to

change is the resolution and this committee today chose not to make those changes and i think that's unfortunate. i do hope that in the end the outcome will be a better outcome for the city and county of san francisco, but a number of issues remain unresolved. issues that are very important. the issue of whether or not there is an actual hard cap, not withstanding some of the discussion that we've had. there's still an open question about how much the city will have to reimburse, the port will have to reimburse the event authority. the issue of whether or not we have 1% on the second sale of condominiums. that still remains an open question. it's been left to the parties to figure out but they've had a lot of time to figure that out and that has yet to happen today and we have given out the opportunity to provide guidance as a matter of policy on that likewise on the 15% of net

proceeds on subsequent assignment and subleases, we are not taking the opportunity today to provide guidance and to set limitations and conditions on the authority. on the issue of work force development, we're talking about just a number of three days before a vote that we need to figure out the language for that. i mean, i don't know how long it took to actually finalize the local hire ordinance that supervisor avalos did a tremendous job in spearheading, but this is complicated stuff. are we going to be able to have something that is totally satisfactory between now and tuesday? on some of the items that budget and legislative analysts recommended that were not addressed. what's going to happen to those items? what's going to happen on the issue of the arts community and their concerns around the involvement of local artists.

i think it's a missed opportunity but i remain hopeful that maybe things will change between now and tuesday and i wait to see what developments take place and whatever we can do to be help informal this parasells -- process i know we're all committed to that thank you. supervisor chu:, supervisor, chiu? supervisor chiu: while i think we have moved in some dimensions in the right direction, we still have quite a bit of work to do. i don't want to see an rave large of paper on tuesday that we are trying to review at the last minute so i'd like to set up or at least get an update on friday where all these documents are. if i can ask city staff right now if you think between now and friday you'll be able to make enough headway. because it's very challenging when we get these documents at the last minute and have to read without enough time to get advice on what we're looking

at. i'd like to make that request of city staff and i'm hoping that we can see that. let me ask if that is something we can get. i see people nodding their heads but i've been asking for paper and documents before and we always seem to get them at the last minute. supervisor chu: i have to agree. supervisor campos: so i'm hearing a yes from mr. martin? >> yes, we'd be happy to report back on all the issues we've talked about today. supervisor campos: i look -- supervisor chu: i look forward to that conversation on friday. supervisor chu: i do think there's been san francisco progress and it has a lot to do with members of this committee and others. pier 2 coming out, huge deal. additional participation, though perhaps not as the transaction that some would

like. having a functional cap is a big deal for the poor in making sure we're limiting any liblets there. in terms of investment on port property, it's a big deal that we're going to get to see some improvements. work force items, i think we'll get there and in terms of strenthening the work force items on the m.o.u. i think we'll get there as well. i think hosting america's couple 3 is -- 34 is going to be an exciting opportunity. we didn't talk about what the larger economic impact is going to be and i think there is an opportunity there that we're not talking about yet. rightly so because we're looking at the nitty-gritty details of the transaction. but i want to thank everybody for their movement on it. i think there's more work to be done but i thank everybody for their patience. we have a motion before us to send both items out to the full

board without recommendations. we need a roll call. >> avalos, no. supervisor kim? supervisor kim: yes. >> kim, yes. supervisor chu? supervisor chu: y -- aye. >> the motion passes. supervisor chu: are there any other items before us? >> that completes the transactions. supervisor chu: thank you, we're adjourned.
