[laughter] >> it is currently 11 years. he is asking for an extra 10 years? >> correct. >> if he would assume the current lease as is, that is what he is requesting, an extension of the lease? >> correct. usually in the other percentage of rent transactions it is based grant verses percentage. its 7% of the gross revenue is 50,000 a month, then that would exceed the base rent of 20,000 that would be set at the beginning of the lease. >> take the terms that are
12:31 am
proposed as both. >> these are all proposals. >> what i am getting at is this is a unique situation where that if the properties improved over the initial 10 years we would see increase revenue potentially as a result or not? >> no, because we would be stuck with the current term that does not have the up side of the percentage. >> obviously this place has about you in terms of the 375 paid out of bankruptcy, because i do not think there is much improvement in the building that was worth very much? >> not really. actually the bankruptcy judge, which is very unusual, went down and visited the location so that the trustee had gone back to
12:32 am
borrow more money, it was just making a bigger and bigger hole, so this did it did the port a huge favor, up -- so this bid did the port a huge favor because we would of been stuck with an underperforming tenant before and would not have gotten the benefit of the improvements that he is offering. >> how much was originally invested in this please? -- in this lease? >> i do not know appear yw. >>those original improvements he just -- talk about depreciating. they are probably more than appreciated. unfortunately the last tenant did not keep up the restaurant. >> if i did drive up by it today
12:33 am
just to take a look. is the concept to use the shell of a building and redo everything inside or really a tear-down kind of situation? i do not think for a million dollars to tear down? >> the proposed investment is an excess of $2 million. and it is between two and $2.5 million. the 1 million was in reference to the hard construction cost. all of the furniture and equipment that go on top of that. one of the things we have been working with david and the staff has been to make the building a little more transparent, so there is a little more interaction that pedestrians and people in the area have with the shoreline. we are using as much of the existing building as we can, literally getting guttin it. >'s a shell. >> it's a shell. >> any more discussion?

12:37 am
transitional age use, or familiarity with the central market and a tenderloin area in district 6. >> thank you, greetings. my name is daniel hlad, a development director of central city hospital lowly the house, president of the neighborhood. thank you for the opportunity. let me speak briefly on my qualifications. educationally, i agree a background in public relations and communications. but i have spent my entire post- college career working for small nonprofit in a variety of communications and development capacities. prior to coming to san francisco, as a community organizer for lgbt issues in cleveland. after moving here, i have worked at the black coalition on aids and have been on the committee advisory board at the men's health clinic in the castro in its early years. i volunteer for a number of
12:38 am
causes, including the coalition on homelessness, aids and breast cancer emergency funds, folsom street fair, and others. i moved to san francisco and 2000 and have lived in a number of communities. i moved to the tenderloin about six years ago out of financial need. but i quickly fell in love with the neighborhood. there's a great deal of socio- economic challenges, but it does not take a lot of effort to see beyond this and to proceed the community spirit, the culture, and vibrancy of the area. in my nearly eight years with hospitality house, i have had the pleasure of becoming intimately familiar with the neighborhood and services available to residents in this historically poor community. i have been actively involved in bringing our mission and resources to residents of the six street corridor and central market neighborhoods. in doing so, i work closely and successfully with residents, government, never associations, and others. and believe that is what a
12:39 am
community is essentially. everyone working together to benefit each other. residents supporting local businesses, businesses supporting local nonprofits that of providing services for residents in need, government and law enforcement serving as good stewards to neighborhood. i believe the community advisory council is an exceptional opportunity to promote this philosophy. in the interest of making the tenderloin and central market area the best they can be for everyone. it is community at love and i am truly honored to serve. thank you for your consideration and the opportunity to serve. supervisor kim: thank you. i have a question. speak briefly in terms of, what are ways that, you know, our private partners and partner with the community? can you think of anything specifically that you would think would be a benefit to the committee, seeing that we have so many companies moving to the area? >> there's a lot of resources that companies can provide for nonprofits that are specific to the neighborhood. beyond even money, i think a lot
12:40 am
of their expertise and some of the background stuff. things that nonprofits do not do normally are things we do not have the capacity to do. working with the tabrets foundation, which provides service grants -- tap roots foundation. those are the types of things we can never do ourselves. but business can do that for us but they can help as great marketing plans and brand our brand strategy speedup kind of provide people with expertise in areas that nonprofit people may be do not always have. >> thank you. seeing the questions from my colleagues, i will call up the next applicant. i have dana mandolesi.
12:41 am
i am sorry. she is not here. michael nulty. >> hello. my name is michael nulty, and i am known as the johnny appleseed of organizing. where i go, organizations and sprout. i have extensive knowledge in history of all three categories required receipt 8. you can see the green sheet and a package that was just handed it to you. missouri a native san franciscan. i have lived and worked in the central market neighborhoods for the last 35 years. i have worked on hundreds of projects and issues affecting
12:42 am
those who live, work, or visit downtown. i have attended and organized hundreds of community meetings. i have already attended at least two cac meetings for the central market. and i have contributed to the cause of zandex, to their community benefit agreement, which the clause is to create an online help center for midmarket residents, to publicize events in the midmarket area, offering updates, a listing of resources for residents, nonprofits, and businesses to quickly and effectively distribute information to clients and customers and employees. also, i have community support from a variety of stakeholders, including nonprofit, businesses, community leaders, fellow residents, and service providers. and i also -- ken i have the
12:43 am
overhead? i want to point out that one of the things i have done is i attend various openings. this is a glide to, for example. that is the ribbon cutting. i have also attended the tenant leadership training, where i have helped as a guest speaker. for over 10 years, a tenant leaders graduate. i have also put on various even ts. i felt a community room at the police station to maxwell having an event. here, i have the picture of a tenet convention for as sarraute tannins. -- for sro tenants.
12:44 am
you can see right here, it was aired on kpsa. it is not just for the neighborhood, but letting the community in the larger sense no will the issues that the sro tenants face. i attended the grand opening of sell my grand. here is a picture -- i attended the grand opening of selma grand. >> here is the famous coach being recognized with some of his track club. and here is the picture of me with art agnos at a grand opening. i actually have a hard hat on. this is an old picture, because it was a polaroid. anyway, it is trying to show my diversity, doing a lot of things in the community under the categories that are being requested here.
12:45 am
i think show and tell sometimes helps in the more interesting way. of course, nothing fell on even though i had a hard hat on. i have been involved with a lot of things. questions? supervisor kim: i have a quick question. i am very familiar with all that you do in our neighborhood. i want to thank you for that. your incredibly active the to go to every event. i am curious in terms of your expertise on homelessness. had you worked specifically with the homeless population? what are some of your areas of expertise and around homelessness? >> actually, if you look at my linked in qualifications that are in the packet, they speak for themselves. i have don falk speaking to that issue. supervisor kim: do you mind saying it out loud, your specific work experience with the homeless population?
12:46 am
>> yes, i have been involved in various developments. one of the things you need to do is house them. i am currently on the housing development advisory committee of the st. anthony's foundation senior housing. i just helped with the strategic plan for the tenderloin neighborhood developed a corporation, the next four years of strategic planning, what they are going to be doing for the neighborhood. i am also the co-founder of the review center that deals with street youth, people who are homeless. i am the co-founder of that organization. so i actually have extensive dealings with the population, because i actually worked for the city. when a word for the city, i did outreach to the homeless through the public health department. and i tried to get people into -- well, technically people
12:47 am
under 18 are considered minors, so there would have to find housing or be returned back home. so the idea is to emancipate them. you're dealing with people in transition. yes, i do have a lot of expertise. supervisor kim: thank you. i see no further questions. >> all right, thank you. supervisor kim: at this time, we will open it up for public comment. police lineup if you would like to speak on behalf of the individuals that spoke in front of us today -- police lineup. >> i am tenderloin neighborhood activist. i cannot say enough about -- [inaudible] a was up for appointment many, many years ago in front of this committee, the rulers -- oh, hello, rulers. at that time it was tony hall, said of all, and that gonzales. based on my experience, have nothing but respect for all the
12:48 am
people applying today. personally, i am going to speak in favor of michael nulty. you talk about homelessness, he was showing those old pictures. if you have ever seen the picture of chris daly screaming at the top -- well, that actual action was part of the whole thing that resulted in the ymca building being reconverted, and a health center will move into their. michael nulty was all into that that day. that is actually the most famous picture of me if you look at it very carefully. the one thing and about michael is he is very knowledgeable about transitional youth issues. i think it is authentic. he is a graduate of reardon high school. sometimes transitional youth take a little bit longer to pop, to come to some kind of -- but he is making his way in this world and trying to make the
12:49 am
best of it. i had some doubts about -- [bell rings] michael, in fact, i opposed him on the redistricting committee. michael nulty is in a similar vein to that. someone that is in the community. i would also say this, you know, resident consumers -- oftentimes, it is a good deal for the taxpayers as well. because we really do kind of look for ways to do things, you know, within the available resources. [bell rings] thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. and yet the public comment on this item? >> good afternoon. i am here in support of the johnny appleseed, mr. michael nulty. i have known it michael for the past five years. we have worked in the tenderloin together. michael is a person of moderate views. and i think moderate views are
12:50 am
necessary on your citizens advisory board regarding community benefit agreements. so i strongly urge you to support johnny appleseed. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the executive director of hospitality house, and i wanted to speak in favor of daniel hlad. as you know, hospitality has been rooted in the tenderloin community for the last 44 years. we recently did expand to the sixth street corridor and the central market area. and daniel was an integral part of our decision to do that and to bring our model to other neighborhoods. i hired daniel about eight years ago, and from the very beginning he really embraced the community and the mission of hospitality house to serve folks
12:51 am
you are low-income and homeless in the neighborhood. he lived in the neighborhood and has been a really big part of what has happened there. he is a man of integrity and of energy and ideas. so i hope you will strongly consider him for this position. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> hello. director of the coalition on homelessness. i also wanted to speak in favor of the appointment of daniel hlad to the cac. i have been working with daniel for a number of years, and he is really amazing. i think one of the things that he can bring to this seat is really have broad representation of the neighborhood. in terms of both being a resident and also in terms of being a part of an organization that serves thousands of neighborhood residents. it is seen by most people as the
12:52 am
heart of the community. in these kinds of positions, i think it is really important to be able to have an ability to get really brought input from the community when there are critical decisions that are going to be made. i think he is in a very unique position that way, of both being a resident and being able to talk to his neighbors and with organizations, being able to represent broad numbers of people. to what. supervisor kim: -- thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> hello. my name is susan. i live in the heart that the tenderloin. i have a letter there that you can read, but i would like to add a couple things to it. i wanted to let you know that michael nulty gave me a chance
12:53 am
more than 10 years ago to use my newly found computer skills for the benefit of the neighborhood and encourage me to advocate for the residents. sometimes the residence, you know, their needs are not completely met by the service providers. and sometimes we have had to hold the feet of the service providers to the fire on a couple occasions. and i wanted to let you know that he has worked with service providers and with residents and homeless. so he has kept the peace in many ways by helping us find areas of common agreement. and i want to reiterate, he has worked with homeless youth and the sro collaborative. michael nulty would be excellent. he has been a mentor to me in
12:54 am
the sense of, you know, i have found a way to use my skills for the people around me. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. and yet there public comment? >> good afternoon. my name is douglas yepp, and i have lived in san francisco to 60 years. before coming here, i was having no choice for these four applicants, but what -- but since it was stated earlier that michael nulty is an alumnus of reardon high school, i say give reardon a chance. in my opinion, there's one school that has influence in san francisco. in regards to this seat, i felt dizzy and important for this city to consider how independent the applicant will be. according to my research, it
12:55 am
seems like many people that fill these committees have a very cozy relationship with parts of the city and county in san francisco. and i feel that this might hinder the creative thinking and eventual solutions on these committees. so i think one criteria that should be considered is how independent a committee member would be, because we do not want a system where everybody knows each other, everybody pats each other on the back, and then certain things get done, and then the inhabitants of that area wonder why things turned out the way they did. not only should we consider qualified people, but also independence-minded people. [bell rings] thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. any other public comment? mr. paulson? >> good afternoon, ruling committee. i want to say that i have known
12:56 am
michael nulty for 30 -- 34 years, and i think you'll be a good candidate. and -- >> ♪ he is part of the city part of the crowd i know it is going to work out in those city times pass this one he is really out of sight oh fix this one fix it up on the last city train home tonight pass item one it is michael nulty he is out of sight oh time fix this on and he is going to fix it up all right ♪ supervisor kim: thank you missed -- a thank you, mr.
12:57 am
paulson. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. oh, ok. please line up so i know, otherwise i will close public comment. but i will reopen. >> i am going to put my backing behind michael nulty. he is in the community and in doing stuff. he is networking. he has all these internet connections to the community. he has his voice and word out there. supervisor kim: thank you. any other public comment at this time? ok. seeing none, public comment is now closed. i do want to thank all the applicants to apply. it is great to see this and many individuals are interested in serving on this community advisory committee, which we created last spring. following up to the tax exclusion we passed for the central market and tenderloin area. we were able to sign our first
12:58 am
committee benefits agreement with sandusk. we're looking more -- for more considerations for the cac to consider. actually, i do know mr. michael nulty very well. he really does intend many defense and has an incredible relationship with the committee and knows a lot about the issues. i would be very happy to support him for a residency. i think it is upon that the c.p. held by a person with particular expertise or experience working with the homeless population, purses just sitting on boards and advising on a myriad of issues. we do have folks that are able to represent that perspective on this cac already. while i do not know mr. daniel hlad very well, i do know the work of hospitality house. tenderloin, 63, and midmarket area, and i am appreciative of the shelter that you run, the drop-in center will -- where
12:59 am
folks can come in to get employment. and doing arts at the gallery. i know hospitality house works very closely with the homeless population here in the district. it is important to have that perspective on the committee as we develop and move forward with community benefits agreements with other companies as they move into the area. so i will be supporting mr. daniel hlad today. i do want to open it up for discussion amongst committee members. supervisor campos. supervisor campos: thank you. i want to thank all the applicants. anytime someone wants to serve the city of san francisco, you want to recognize that willingness. it is difficult when you have more applicants than you have seats available. i think any of the people we have heard from would be excellent additions to this body. and i certainly know mr. michael nulty
