12:11 pm
international terminal. this was created by the airlines that operate in the international terminal and represents the airlines as they pump filter maintenance and operating obligations under their individual leases with the airport. the new agreement before you today continues the practice we have had in the past of maintaining, offering, and scheduling the use of city-owned equipment and operating systems as well as scheduling the use of joint i.t. functions like ticket counters and gates and allocates the associated costs related to city-owned equipment and operating systems for the users of the equipment in that international terminal. due to the integrated nature of this system and the services used to provide customer service to airport passengers in the international terminal, this represents the most efficient and cost-effective way for the airport to share in their use.

questions. supervisor chu: thank you. why we go to the budget analyst report? >> thank you. on page 6 of our report, we report the estimated net payment to the airport over the 10-year agreement, that would include the one-year option, the amount they would pay to the airport is estimated at $1,500,000 and we recommend you provide retroactive approval through july 1, 2012 and in the resolution to reflect the not to exceed amount of $80 million to be paid and the -- and approve the resolution as amended.

12:25 pm
>> resolution approving the contract modification between the city and county of san francisco and the tenderloin housing clinic to provide mass release housing for formerly homeless single adults at the mayfair hotel for a time of august 1, 2011 through june 30, 2015 in the amount of $93,070,856. >> good afternoon. the resolution in front of you, we are seeking retroactive approval to modify the contract with tenderloin housing clinic to both the extent that term at the mayfair hotel, a hotel we added in late 2010 and 2011 to find a home for displaced homeless families. the tenderloin housing clinic stepped up and put the house on a master lease and accepted compass community services as the tenant to run 24 rooms
12:26 pm
specifically designed for homeless families. those families were formerly in hotels which lost the release and we were able to move them into this one. they received a grant from tipping point to do the modifications to the hotel to accommodate the families and we incorporated this as the 16th hotel in that tenderloin housing clinics portfolio of hotels. i would like to take this opportunity to think the budget analyst office for the expediency of the report on this and the accuracy -- helped us go back and unravel a hotel contract and the report is accurate and we are in complete concurrence with it. supervisor chu: the department is in agreement with the recommendation? >> yes. we concur. supervisor kim: i was hoping you could go into the detail of the retroactivity on this contract. we've just seen a couple that were retroactive as well, but
12:27 pm
not quite to the length of retroactivity here. >> this was the second hotel we looked at as a site for the homeless families. we began looking at this when they lost their lease in i want to say late spring of 2010. when we finally identified the one hotel, the deal fell through. we went to the mayfair hotel and the mayfair hotel is currently not under contract with any city clients. that hotel was undergoing renovations by the owners, so we had to wait until those renovations were completed and wait until renovations to specifically accommodate the families were done. those construction's took a little over a year before we move the families and. the hotel was actually under lease but not occupied for that time. that's why we had this lag before we brought it to you to modify the contract. supervisor kim: the second amendment which took place on
12:28 pm
july 2010 -- the hotel at that time was not ready yet because the owners were doing rehabilitation work? >> correct. supervisor kim: when was the hotel opened? >> the hotel actually opened in august of 2011. >> -- supervisor kim: why is this coming to us in july of 2012 as opposed to last year? >> when we brought this before you, it was 45-year set of hotels that $82 million that expired june 15, -- june 30, 2015. when we first contemplated this, we were within the overall authority of the prior modification and we wanted to make sure we have all of the details of what was going on with the hotel before we brought back to clean up the resolution. we were still within that term and dollar -- not to exceed dollar amount of the prior
12:29 pm
resolution. that is when we went through and decided we needed to clean up all the avenues. as you can imagine, managing a contract with 16 different hotels, 16 different budgets, many shifts around in the hotel budget. at the end of the year, we have some hotels that run over budget and some run under budget and we are shifting things around. we were mindful to stay within the overall for the board had granted as and it was only when we got this hotel up and running and started filling the residual rooms with a single adults that we thought we would bring it back at this time. supervisor kim: i understand that within the parameters of having to come back to the board of supervisors, because you are staying under the actual dollar amount that there was not necessarily an need, is that you are saying? >> correct. supervisor kim: i would still ask you come to us sooner
