provided by supervisor christina olague. >> i just want to thank all of you for being here today. mental health is an issue that i had prioritized in my own life. and i believe that one of the reasons it's so critical here in san francisco is because it emphasizes healing instill of criminalizing people in our communities. and too often i think that this society takes the easy way out and chooses to throw people in jail or to criminalize young people even at an early age. often young folks suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder, who are exposed to a lot of trauma in their lives are immediately placed in special education classes instead of given the -- even though they have the aptitude

of not even higher aptitudes than a lot of their contemporaries, because they're having behavioral issues, in many cases i believe it's related to the environment. and some of the issues that they're exposed to. and, so, i think it's critical that we start to look at people who are struggling in a more compassionate way. so, since i've been supervisor, one of the organizations that -- community-based organizations that i've been very impressed by is the west side community services. i think that the -- (applause) >> there are a lot of communities, communities of color. they still have stigma attached to that name, mental health. so, it's really incredible that these individuals in this agency that's run currently by dr. jones who does pretty incredible work in the community in the western addition.

in terms of police interactions with mentally ill and we've had a long, a history of trying as a city and as a department to grapple with the issue of how do we respond appropriately to subjects who are mentally ill and may not really be in a right state of mind and making sure we use alternatives other than deadly force. kelly has really been instrumental in sort of moving that training program forward and making sure all of our officers know how to respond. kelly, you've been just an amazing public servant in san francisco, and i'm thrilled to have appointed you to the mental health board and honor you today. congratulations.

[adjourned] >> i have 2 job titles. i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall.

this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a

palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you could spend days going

around the building and finding something new. the embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that san francisco is famous for. >> the wood you see in the board of supervisor's chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the seceiling you would believe that's hand

kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today. >> good morning. and welcome to the budget and finance committee. my name is supervisor john avalos, the chair of the committee. joined to my right by

supervisor jane kim and to my left by supervisor sean elsbernd. the clerk of the committee is mr. victor young and mr. clerk, can you share with us your announcements? >> please turn off all cell phones and electronic devices. items acted upon today will be forwarded to the full board of supervisors meeting of november 20th, unless otherwise stated. thank you. >> i wanted to acknowledge our sfgovtv staff who are work on this hearing. that is nona and jesse larson. could you call our first item. >> item no. 1, resource approving and authorizing an agreement for the purchase of parcel of real estate located at 1550 evans avenue and 330 newhall street consisting of approximately 4.6 acres improved with 50,593 square feet of office and industrial

buildings for the san francisco public utilities commission for a purchase price of $15 million, adopting findings under ceqa, adopting findings that the conveyance is consistent with the city's general plan and eight priority polices of city planning code section 101.1 and authorizing the director of property to executive documents make certain modifications and take certain actions in furtherance of this resolution. >> mr. updyke, welcome. >> so today we seek your positive recommendation to acquire one property that has two addresses, 1550 evans and 330 newhall. the property at the corner of 3rd and evans. the southeast water pollution could control plant located in this area, so you can see the

proximity. the aerial photo, i think does better justice to show that. the where my pen is and of course, obviously where the southeast plant is located. very proximate this particular property has been 2,000 square feet of land and contains buildings with 32,000 square feet of office space and 19,000 square feet of secure warehouse space. as i mentioned it's located at 3rd and evans. it's an m-2, that is heavy industrial property zoning. and it's of course situated near that water pollution control plant. the cellar, 3rd and evans llc is controled by the among other things family who owned-and-operated morgan company on the site in 1978 and then leased are the property after those business operations

cease ed the negotiated purchase price in the agreement [pr-u/] today is $15 million. the appraised value is $16 million. that value is predicated on an assumption that really all of the value of this property is in the land. it happens to have contributory interim use improvements. they are actually ideally situated for the sf pc use. on the overhead i have a list of the comparable sale used by the independent appraisal for this property, ranging from $49 a square foot for over $100 a square foot in land. you can see they are very close by. hooper evans, newhall, oyster and 7 [*-fpbl/] street are [kpa-eurblg/]s. warehouse and office situation

meets the needs quite well of the sfpuc so we can co-locate the staff, the equipment and the vehicles from several other locations into this one complex that is going to provide a much greater efficiency of operations for the sfpuc's wastewater enterprise collection systems division. this is detailed in the excellent budget analyst's report particularly in table 16 page 3 and table 2 of page 4 and i will let the budget am go into that into further detail. the total figure to be consolidated is about 134 and that is broken down by division for you on those tables. upon move-in, we would like to also note the acquisition would yield savings of over 400,000 a year from lease terminations of 3801 3rd is street, and evans. the general plan conformity letter is in the board file. this matter is not subject to ceqa. i am engined today by a host of

puc officials to provide any particular details about operations you might have. mr. carlin, miss russell, and others. so look forward to answering any questions that you might have. >> thank you. why don't we go on to mr. carlin just to augment your presentation, just to hear from the puc on how this land will be operationalized. >> thank you. chairman avalos and supervisors kim and elsbernd, miable karlin, deputy general manager for the puc this. is a unique opportunity for us to actually consolidate several operations that we have in sort of different locations into one location. it gives us the opportunity to have those people in the same place, from our collection system, who do the testing of the streets to actually doing sewer clean-ups. it also allows us to expand and we're actually forward-looking with this piece of property as well. as we implement the sewer system improvement program we are going to locate some of the project management staff there that will be working on the

southeast plant. so they will be there for decades, as we kind of redo that plant in the southeast sector of san francisco. so this is really an opportunity that we looked at and we want to pursue. and with your approval, we would actually move forward on buying this property. >> and then -- i mean the southeast plant is across 3rd street, correct? >> right. >> so what is the plan tentatively in place right now for how thatlant will be reconstructed is it -- it's going to be in the same vicinity, right? >> right. the footprint of the plant is looking at reconstruction of the plant partially [stkph-euft/]ing footprint and potential potentially moving into some other properties that the city owns. the asphalt site and talking to public works about pushing our biosolids project against the berm of caltrain, along germ avenue. and so most of the work will be contained within the existing

site with maybe some expanse moving across quince street at this point in time. >> thank you. colleagues any questions for the departments? we'll go on to the budget analyst, mr. rose. >> mr. rose, we're ready for your report. >> mr. chairman, members of committee, on page 5 of our report, the bottom of page 5, is shown in table 3 on page 6 of our report. the cost of purchasing this property at 1550 evans and 330 newhall is $15 million. plus an estimated $1,179 in closing costs. so the total estimated cost is [shao-eubgt/]ly offer 15 million, $15,

slight over $15 million. so from that standpoint, it looks like the city is purchasing the property at element a $1 million saving from the appraisal. on page 6 of our report. we point point out that the net present value of the existing leases, where they are now, including annual increases over 30 years, is an estimated $8.2 million. it so that the net present value including the relocation costs, the purchase price, and financing costs over a 30-years is an estimated $18.1 million. therefore, the proposed purchase is $9.9 million, almost $10 million or 122% more than the cost of the existing leases. however, as has been stated the purpose of this purchase is to consolidate in one
