conveyed to the department of finance for their review. >> i know as we transfer, redevelopment has a slightly different policy for and come requirements. does moh plan to integrate this policy? >> that is an excellent question. we are talking about the differences between the two programs. in terms of how we will administer the program, the task is taking a look at the two to identify the differences and see which is best moving forward. we will conform to all of the

agency procedures the best that weekend. some are related to the redevelopment plans. the mayor's office will continue to abide by those requirements. the affordable housing was always consistent with the city's overall consolidated plan. we will continue to at try to create affordable housing. it continued to provide for the housing needs within those project areas. as the redevelopment agency had before. they will be governed by the remaining redevelopment plan. the redevelopment plans do not go away. we will show this additional

increment as we receive it based on those plans. this housing obligation is another basis for planning additional deposits of tax increments. among the replacement housing, the replacement housing can be done throughout the city. it does not have to be done within a specific project area. it can be done throughout the city. one of the projects identified was the hugo apartments that the agency acquired by eminent domain about two years ago. it is working towards entitlements and hopefully with the approval of dof we will be in construction within another

year or so. it was a major project of the south of market redevelopment plan. it is a key project. it is a gateway to san francisco for those coming off of the 280. it was basically a blight and was not being productively use. our hope was that that would continue with the well thought out and accepted plans to demolish and replace that affordable family housing. >> among the processes that we had to go through, look at what was in the fund at the time of

the solution and what projects could be developed from what could be incumbered or will be uncovered. among the projects that were in the pipeline at the time of the solution that did not have enforceable contracts but have identified the redevelopment agency acts as priorities, the intent of the mayor's office is to continue to complete those projects. they were created to meet certain community goals. the labor department is one. the housing rebuild as another public project. the third street theater, which is the first phase of the rebuild. there is a habitat site.

these were all in the works prior to the dissolution of the agency. we will continue to work to get these projects to fruition. below the listing of projects, it gives you a sense of what the pipeline looks like in terms of meeting the housing obligations of the former redevelopment agency and how we have to continue to capture the and permit from those project areas as well. to actually put a dent in this pipeline. again, this just restates some of my earlier testimony. the majority of the funds were

already uncovered. this was approximately $200 million. there was $60 million or $70 million that was encumbered with contracts. the balance of those were not committed, but clearly reserved for projects. we would not want to proceed with the project unless we have the money in the bag to go forward with the project. we are making the argument that they are committed and are necessary to meet other obligations. some of that money was matching federal money. one of the things, there is so much uncertainty with how the state will review our obligation

schedule at how they will treat the remaining balances. there is a lot of great advocacy at the state level to make sure that the money that had been reserved stays for affordable housing. we are part of that advocacy with dof and the governor's office to make sure that the money that was intended to be spent on affordable housing is spent on affordable housing. there is great uncertainty about whether the department of finance has the last word on how the money gets spent. they are in the process of reviewing the obligated payment schedule. in terms of the staffing, we are moving 10 positions over to

the mayor's office of housing. we will be incorporating those positions and to our budget that we will be submitting as part of the june 1 submission. one of the things we are looking at in terms of staffing and the ongoing work as we are looking at the pipeline for the ongoing work. to try to be sure that we will continue to have a healthy pipeline of housing above and beyond the projects that we have identified. i think the state assumed the redevelopment agencies would stop and our work would end. our goal is to not to complete the projects initiated by the redevelopment agency, but try

to continue the projects. also, in terms of replacing the house and lost in the 1960's and 1970's. >> whether under the successor agencies with the affordable housing obligations continue beyond just be on those obligations, these are critically important to the city and the region and the state's long-term health. provided for economic development and revitalizing our neighborhoods. this is not just good for the city, but the region and the state. how do we move forward? this next level of review, we are under a process. the oversight board unanimously

adopted this obligation schedule. next up is for the state to weigh in and recognize those obligations. we go through this exercise every six months. it is required under the state legislation. the city comptroller has an importance role. our controller has hired an external auditor. there is and audit of our books that is under way. the external auditor's audit has to be complete by july 1. we are preparing for a budget submission. that would provide for all of these obligations and our move forward in terms of economic revitalization as part of the budget you will see shortly.

that concludes our presentation and we are available for any questions you may ask. >> thank you. it sounds like you pay a lot of attention to the handling of the business side of this transition. i am curious to hear some of your thoughts on the people side or the community in particular. one thing i have got heard is the art rich strategy to communicate with people. the loss of the redevelopment agency is most severely felt. there has been a lot of conversation. there have been very that'll answers. there are more questions than there are answers. i am hopeful that you can give me an idea of what your outreach strategy will be moving forward.

>> thank you. we do have an outreach strategy. whether it is for the private development partners. those for us in the city departments. those that think that there is no redevelopment so that nothing happens. most importantly, our stakeholders, for who we do the work. we reached in january to everyone of our community advisory bodies, our project committees, are stakeholders, and let them know that the process, solution, and the quick work that the board took to preserve what we had. there is still important work that the city has yet to do that will require further thought and

discussion. we are actively working and communicating with folks to make sure we are part of that solution. the work to undertake the program, the infrastructure development, 20% of affordable housing. it was over $30 million of an occurrence that we were expected to use. the controller's tax manager will tell you that this is not generating any tax increments. the director talked about that there are a lot of strategies at the state level. new tools for redevelopment. the city has use redevelopment in a very measured way.

whether it is for treasure island or redevelopment. one tool that will be important, it will require new legislation. it is quite difficult. it will be a difficult road. we need to work on it. we will ask for our partners to help us on that. >> what sort of financing goals to we have laughed at our disposal? it is more on communicating. you mentioned the stakeholders. people have spent many years of their lives participating in a project areas and participating. they are looking to have answers to understand how they will supplement their budget. what is the communications plan?

down to the detail of noticing meetings. in the past, redevelopment had a staff person. now that no longer exists. who's responsibility is this to communicate these changes? what is in store and what is not in store? that is a little bit more of whre i'm coming from. what is the specific and detailed plan? if there are no details, that is ok. from my constituents, that is a big question. >> it is fair to say that we are still in a period of transition. we are still in a period of

transition at the state level as far as what obligations remain. we are working on it. we welcome your thoughts and input. we can do a better job of communicating whether it is the successor or any other department that could implement this work. >> is there a website that is live that has certain frequently asked questions. who are the members that sit on this committee and how are they selected? >> we do have an established oversight board website that talks about 2 cents on the board and what is their purpose. we have cleaned up the former

redevelopment agency's website. we are in a process of transition to make sure there is clear communication. we are working on our reach -- outreach, not just to the ceo's that we have funded. there is a broader corporate strategy. -- outreach strategy. >> the just of the items of the transition, i'd like to share with the supervisor that we are reaching out to some of our borrowers. the direct recipients of the hoursing loans, whether they are home buyers, a nonprofit developers. we are in the process of

blending our databases. we will be notifying every single borrower, whether they are a homeowner or a developer about who they should contact if they have a question. that is one of the issues in terms of this transition. the redevelopment agency will suspended. they cannot do some of the things that the homeowners needed by getting support. we are working very, very hard with former agency staff to be sure they can address those sort of issues. giving people a sense of how quickly we can reach them. also, working with the developers to be clear about

their expectations about how quickly we can move them through the process. the housing division did a very good job of notifying people of the transition. the program met with all of the contractors to talk about that transition. to alert them about who is staying and who is leaving and where it is going to be in the mayor's office. it has been low key at this point. we are trying to blend the information and make it clear who is the contact person. we hope to have that done by the end of the month. it is especially important, especially for the home buyers, to know who they should talk to. we are trying to figure out who

we should address in terms of who we should try to address. we need to keep in contact with everybody so that they know where they are in the cue in terms of getting issues addressed. we can have a little more time in addressing those issues. >> supervisor kim had a question. >> i am glad we are in a conversation about how to communicate with communities. there is a separation of loans to homeowners. our office has spent in contact with you. we have a lot but of bmr homeowners that are trying to finance. my question is about finding a

solution. >> for the home owners who are interested in subordinating their loans are getting more information, the key contact person is brian chu in the redevelopment division. he will refer the person to the right person on our single- family staff. we are trying to blend the agency single-family program with ours. brian is the gate keeper in getting home buyers to the right person. if it is a question related to

the program, they might go to another person. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you. question. that is around workforce development. the agency has funded a lot of work force development. wondering what will happen with the work force development functions that we have had in the past under our obligations. are we able to continue with those efforts? >> we are still able to continue with the job placement. whether it is with the cbo's or young community developers. if it is on the schedule, placement for construction in

city ballet, or construction in hunter's view, we can continue those activities. the city office of economic and work force deployment has a similar program. job readiness services. the redevelopment agency's contracts for a number of cbo's, those contracts would be expended through june unless it is tied to some other enforcable obligation. the city of economic and work force development does a robust job placement. we expect that to continue. >> the redevelopment agency had

its own goals around local hiring that are higher than the current levels in the ordinance. i am wondering, with the dissolution of the agency, does that mean that there is an opening for local hiring to be determined within the projects that are the obligations of the redevelopment agency. >> for new, applicable public works projects, if there are things that are housing works, there are 50% goals for professional services, supplies, and construction. particularly in the bay view and other areas, we exceeded and that those goals. for any new projects, there is an opportunity to apply.

>> if we are able to excede those goals, i would not get in the wake of that. >> i do have a question about the ifb's. we are taking a look at what other possible alternatives or tools there might be. we have this problem about what our other economic goals might be. we still have not seen the parameters are around what we might set future ifb's.if we start moving down this path of looking at sites that might be ifb possible, we have to look at the parameters. i would like to put that out

there. an ifb would not be appropriate for things like visitabltion valley. i think on the other note, we do not have those parameters yet. thank you. >> i just wanted to follow-up on supervisor of los' questions. i was wondering when we but get a sense of which work force development commitment people because they are enforcable, we are assuming compliance our road equal opportunity hiring programs, do we have a sense of this as we communicate potentially huge cuts to their

budgets? >> it is a work in progress. it will take a dialogue with the economic work force development and the mayor's office. it is a work in progress. >> that is my understanding of that portion of the work in progress. we have to understand what is our obligation and what is not. this is what we know we cannot. we may be able to find other means either through the general fund or other programs in project with the office of work- force development. we can continue at the same levels. what is it that we know we can keep and what is it that we are not sure we can keep? >> this is all subject to the department of finance review. we believe in unanimous approval from the oversight board. those dollars were for job

placement. those could be in hunter's point or individual projects. we believe the balance of those contracts dollars can continue. on a move forward basis. the redevelopment agency to fund readiness. we know that cannot continue after june 30. quarks are was wondering if we could get edit list of what we're asking the state that we will be able to continue. i know the state has the ability to determine whether it is

enforceable publication. in terms of the board level, i want to anticipate the workforce programs that we may need to find other sources of funding for. june 30 is really quickly approaching. not having those answers is frustrating. we have to deal with the state. the best answer that we can get is that we can anticipate what might happen in june and that would be incredibly helpful. >> we can provide those lists of contracts and pull that up from the schedule. >> it does not have to be a board responsibility to see if that happens. >> this would be an important part to be able to fund. we could probably extend that if part to be able to fund. we could probably extend that if
