12:30 pm
amendments to the contract. i understand what you are saying, it's just not clear to me why it took an entire year for it to come to the board even if you stayed within the dollar amounts. >> we will certainly try to be a little quicker to the board in the future. supervisor chu: thank you. to follow up on that, it sounds like in the past, the department received a master lease approval through the board from 2010 through 2015 with a not to exceed amount and during the course of several years, some of the actual locations might have changed or there were things that moved around a bit. going back to supervisor kim's point, if people were beginning to occupied hotel in july of 2010, it seems like there was a lot of time that passed --
12:31 pm
>> 2011. excuse me. the reservations were finished and it was occupied of august of that 2011. it still has been almost 12 months since the hotel was occupied. supervisor chu: so there was a time when it seems like you could have come back quicker. i'm wondering does the department see this is an issue? would there be a challenge coming back to the board more frequently to update us about where things are changing or do you perceive this as within the contract authority? help us understand that. >> the code says we need to come back when we modify the contract in excess of $500,000. at the time we were doing this, we were not quite at that threshold. i do agree that threshold has passed during the past 12 months and it was just a matter of taking a number of resolutions, some of which you saw yesterday and bundling them altogether and bringing them at one time.
12:32 pm
we can certainly take these individually as changes come up and we would be more than willing to do that. supervisor chu: i think there is a balance -- you don't department to be coming back all the time and there is some level of efficiency, so i get that but i'm just wondering what the department will be doing to implement changes such that you will be seeing when it's an appropriate time. a year seems like a long time. >> i agree and i can probably apologize for that. it's just one of those things we kept putting off during the course of the year. we will adhere to it strictly and as soon as we reach the $500,000 threshold, we will bring it right back to you. supervisor chu: thank you. to the budget analyst. >> madam chair and a supervisor kim, on the bottom of page three, we point out the master lease budget includes an annual 3% cost-of-living adjustment for
12:33 pm
each of these residential hotels. but those moneys were not appropriated for the 3% in the past three fiscal years, unlike this fiscal year or the board of supervisors has appropriated it. as a result, the actual nine- tend through a 11-12 please of expenditures are about $2 million less than budget. our recommendation as stated on page 4, we recommend you approve the proposed resolution and specifically for the items cited on page 4 of our report, which includes a reduction by $2 million from $93 million to $91 million for the cost i just referenced and you approve the resolution as amended. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor kim: i have one
12:34 pm
question for the budget analyst. and of the board was unable to allocate a call for any of our nonprofit contract in this year we were able to allocate to the mayor's budget a 1% cola starting in july of this year and another 1% starting in august through the board. does that mean the coal being approved for this contract mirrors that 1% or -- the cola being approved for this country mayors that 1%? >> what the recommendation is doing here is simply taking out something that was never allocated as a cost of living. what the board did in this new fiscal year is across the living increase in the next year's budget and this recommendation doesn't have any impact. i'm not sure if i fully responded to your question. supervisor kim: you are saying this contract allows for a 3% cola increase?
12:35 pm
>> it provided -- department -- the department anticipated moneys would have been appropriated for a cola but the moneys were not appropriated by either the mayor or board of supervisors. >> perhaps i can help clarify -- >> it does continue to have the 3% increase. supervisor kim: the contract will have a 3% -- >> that is not correct. when we take a multi-year contract, we put an escalator on a of 3% for the outgoing years. should we not have the budget to fund it, it does not going to the contract. it only gives us the authority to go up to the not to exceed amount. in fiscal year 12-13, the increase would be 1.9%. in the outgoing years, we still have 3% should the board, mayor or should we have the budget to fund it. we always put these escalators
12:36 pm
in the contract's going forward in case things change. supervisor kim: the budget analyst did it recommend a $2 million reduction? we have not allocated previously -- does that include 1% less -- >> it is just for the prior years. it has no impact on the fiscal year beginning july 1 of this year. supervisor kim: would have been appropriate to include the 1%? we are only allocating 2%. >> what we are reporting is that as a matter of fact, funding was not appropriated by the mayor and the board of supervisors for any cola increases for the fiscal year increases preceding this fiscal year. ours is just a clean up amendment to make the budget
12:37 pm
consistent with what the mayor and board of supervisors has previously done. it just cleans up the actual situation. there was no cost-of-living increase. supervisor kim: i completely understand the previous three years. i don't think there's any disagreement about that. my question is shouldn't the decrees also include a 1% reduction for this year as well? seeing that the board has already allocated only 80% increase. >> this legislation before you today only goes through june 30 of 2012. that's all it is applicable to. supervisor kim: i thought it went through 2015. >> we were very conservative and not recommend a reduction and not to exceed amount for the years going forward.
12:38 pm
for instance, this year's budget, a 1% of that -- that would be about $150,000. >> if i could get a clarification -- the 3% escalator we have is for the cost of doing business increase and could be for other increases. a lot of the actual leases have built in escalators each year. even though we are only funding 1.9% of the cost of doing business, we still have other escalators that could cause the contract to go up but it would not exceed 3%. supervisor kim: i actually support escalators in all of our leases. especially the nonprofit building owners. i don't squabble with that. but if we are doing an amendment in light of the fact -- the previous three years -- my question was merely why we would not do that this year. but that's fine.
12:39 pm

12:43 pm
these items were there is not a general fund impact with repayment of any of the debt, even if the organization were to default, do we ever take a look at the budget and whether it is appropriate? >> our office would actually underwrite the deal as part of our due diligence. we take a close look at the budget in the overall financing as well as the rehabilitation. supervisor chu: on this item, i don't believe we have a budget analyst report, i would like to open this up to public comment. supervisor avalos: this has appeared before us before in another way. >> was a ruling to authorize the issuance of the bond and -- the scope has a kind of change and

buena island. it would require approval by the san francisco board of supervisors. this amendment was approved at its april 19, 2012 meeting. amec geomatrix was initially selected by the department of public works through process as part of the pool as needed consultant to provide environmental and remediation activities. in 2003, the authority authorized execution of the contract for an amount not to exceed $5 million to provide services related to monitoring the navies of environmental remediation activities at treasure island. the contract has been amended nine times and currently has a budget of $1,799,000. the contract consists of both oversight of the navy's remediation program as well as the -- as well as assisting the authority and property negotiations with the navy.
12:47 pm
this is an increase of $238,400 from the previously authorized amount. amec geomatrix is expected to work on items related to oversight of the navy's remediation program at a cost of approximately $20,000 per month. the contract will continue to be paid on time and materials basis and turmoil be extended through june 30, 2013. the budget analysts has recommended approval and pointed out in the report that the contract was previously governed by titlist purchasing. in january 2012, the board of supervisors rescinded titus as a development agency and they're bringing it back into compliance with the city purchasing policy.

we're asking this committee to approve this amendment now as it's critical for the service and oversight of the navy activity go on uninterrupted as we are fast approaching the first substantial transfer of property from the navy to the city. furthermore, the importance of retaining continuity of the navy's environmental program, the potential problems associated with a learning curve inherent in bringing a new engineering firm up to speed as well as understanding there would be a more logical point at a later stage to engage in a subsequent selection process for continued engineering services were policy considerations taken into account when deciding to bring this amendment for you. they intend to conduct a new solicitation process for this scope of work with the contract after the first substantial transfer property currently scheduled for april of 2013. i'm happy to answer any additional questions the committee might have. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. why don't go to the budget
