3:08 pm
kimresolution authorizing the 2013 south of market community stabilization fund program and authorizing the mayor's office of housing to expend soma community stabilization fund dollars in the amount of $300,000. >> okay. the mayor's office is going to speak on this item. >> with the mayor's office of community development. the item before you today is a rez collusion that was -- resolution introduced that would authorize the stabilization fund program and ex pend the funds. i'll provide a brief comment which was created in 2005 in an effort to have the negative impact of justification in south market neighborhood when it was resumed ordinance 21705. the fees are deposited into
3:09 pm
the fund and businesses in the south of market. the board of supervisors accomplished a community advisory committee which is consisting of 7 community stake holders to advise the development and the board of supervisors on the use of the fund. the cdc has an administration of the fund. and they approved the fund and grants the base organization and as these grants approach, the cac revisited and we find a plan using the lessons from the first round and taking into consideration the changing environment in the neighborhood. the revised plan is the framework for the last. it resulted in grants initiated earlier this year, in three programs which is the coordination program, a community counsel program and a community action program. the results of the second rsp are
3:10 pm
before you. tom is the cochair of our sac and he'll give you background on the programs that were issued in the rsp. >> hello supervisors, tom tim prono, one the cochairs with the cac to speak with you today. it's an honor to serve and it's my third year and i'm excited about the two proposals we have before you. i like to give you context on the rsp and their need. i'll start with the school's site coordinator program. it was born by the principal of betsy core michael. he came to us to let us know that he seen, you know, a consistent -- he's pretty, i believe new to the position and seen a consistent flow of families of students at the
3:11 pm
school coming to him looking for either direct services or looking for place -- looking for resources and for those folks would are familiar with betsy carmichael, it's a model in being a piller in the part of market community. he came to us with the interest to establishing betsy carmichael as a community city similar to the school where the families of the school and the neighborhood could hopefully at some point access services at the school itself and solidify it as a community asset outside of the school. we took that need and created the rfp for a school site coordinators. that's not intended to provide the direct services but to strike that jiez and to plan out the process for turning betsy carmichael into a full
3:12 pm
service community school and so this proposal was just intended to find someone to work both again on the strategy but on the fund development because the process will take a quite bit of funding so we're hoping to have someone to put those pieces together and in the coming years to help move betsy carmichael be a full service community school. the second proposal before you is the neighborhood and business coordination program. so i think that anyone who takes a walk anywhere nothing south of market can see the inflex businesses and you have triple story cafes coming in and it's the best neighborhood in the city if not the country and what we envision with this program is using those businesses to create an asset for the existing community that lives in south of market. we
3:13 pm
want to see these businesses creating jobs for the youth and creating intern for our youth as and doing things like donating products or services to non profits and trying to create a formalized leakage and existing residence that have spent their entire lives in the community. this proposal to actually bring together folks that work with small businesses and have experiences with small businesses and folks who have experience working with the community doing job training and outreach and coordination and to bring everyone to the table so we can really see everyone who is in south of market, everyone in the residence and the workers benefits from this new inflex of our neighborhood.
3:14 pm
>> thank you for that presentation. it does seem like some great potential projects. with the cdc, how do you prioritize. i know there's -- the strategic had housing and community, how do you think about how do you allocate each pool and what organizations or what steps you take and what period of time. there's a pool of assets here that is sitting there, so i'm -- we're drawing down $300,000 from it. how do you go about thinking, today is the right amount to spend on this kind of project? >> we are pretty measured. we really take the time to hear what community needs are. we do have that -- we have that current pool of money but we want to be sure that the projects that we fund realry have strong impacts as you saw. we identified core area of
3:15 pm
need and housing jobs and committee as being key funding priorities for us, so whenever possible we try to cross those over the neighborhood and business coordinations program for instance is an exer size in both job creation but in community cohesion and bringing together those businesses and resident. and i think it's as opportunity as needs become clear, we as the cdc act on those. we have been looking in ways to invest to help resident that live in south of market to stay there. we view our self as the place where the south of market can come to us with ideas and we like to support that and let us be a place the community can come to. >> thank you. supervisor mark.
3:16 pm
>> thank you mr. tim and mrshgs rosario. >> i have a question about the tech 2.0, the rise of younger more a fluent and childless people in the south market area and i know that key goals are stabilizing and building community, but i worry that families will be displaced and the philippino and the immigrant community which i know you're trying to create a historic heritage district for populations that occur maybe displaced so what strategies what are you trying to implement that the community is given not just on south of market but other neighborhoods if the city. >> as i mentioned, we're currently working with other non profit and the city to be a leader. and the idea that many
3:17 pm
of those families, many of those philippino citizens and veterans live in the smaller market. another example of really working to keep families in south of market, this is a previous program that we funded a relationship with 333 harrison which is a new development in south of market where we work to make sure that south of market resident with an emphasis on family were able to submit applications for the units to 3333 harrison. they created a number of family units created that would cater to seniors and we wanted to make sure since they were building in south of market that as many south of market resident had access to that.
3:18 pm
those are examples where we're looking for new ways to address the particularly of dwindling housing. >> carmichael school, you're trying to turn it into a community hub with services and places go to see with a large philippino population and immigrant students, that makes a lot of sense. can you give background about renaissance and urban solutions and why they're critical. there's a representative of renaissance who can speak to what they do. but renaissance center who we funded for the program has a, i believe, 28 year history of working with small businesses and being located if the south of market with particular emphasis on training, low income folks to
3:19 pm
start businesses and helping those folks really grow those businesses to the point where they can hire employees where they're much for being
3:20 pm
forward. >> there will be a remaining balance of $3 million based on the rfp, we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution. >> are there any restrictions in terms of how much can be disbursed from this fund at any point in time? >> there hasn't been any restrictions. we have to approve all of them with you all. >> all right. thank you very much. any other questions. mr. rose, see none. we'll open this up to public comment. if anyone wishes to comment on item number 10 please step forward. >> hi, my name is paula connely and i'm with the entrepreneur
3:21 pm
ship program. i'm here to talk about the goal of renaissance. we want to make sure both local resident are aware of the non profit and what we can provide. we're using the strength of our organizations to bring together small businesses, non profit organizations and resident. our proposal is to create benefits for both businesses and resident addressing residence needs like affordable projects to the needs of businesses like employees and local support. businesses want to give back and our program will create a way for them to do that easily. renaissance can provide through our business services and united players can provide training to the community. we'll create other opportunities for partnerships and businesses providing lunch discounts and raffling and things of that nature. and
3:22 pm
ultimately bring non profits together are strengthen the community and create community unit. >> ity. >> everybody else wish to comment on this item? >> i'm from south market resource center childcare. and we -- i'm speaking for the school site position grant from silma family fund. we have worked with the school and we have seen over the years the increasing need of support for the students and family at carmichael. this will help us expand the work that we do and collaborate and identify more services that could bring in more support for the families and students at carmichael. we want to increase more services
3:23 pm
in the school site so the families have easier access when at the need the services. we believe the families are able to meet their needs and have access available support. and children are better supported and can be more successful at school. we know that study shows that when students do well as school they're more likery to succeed in the future and be more responsible individuals in the community. >> thank you. public comment is closed. colleagues can have a motion or do we have comments. we can do so without opposition. call item number

11. cohenresolution finding the proposed development of the pier 70 waterfront site, an approximately 28-acre site located in the southeast corner of pier 70, fiscally feasible under administrative code, chapter 29, and endorsing the term sheet between forest city development california, inc., a california corporation, and the port commission >> okay. thank you. we have brad benson. we have emily loed and be have jack with the city development. whoever wants to go first. >> good morning supervisors, emily lask with the work force development. our item is the pooer 70 work force which is the pooer 70 port site. our plans for the water front site
3:25 pm
are based on the pooer 70 master plan which was created if a three year really expensive community and state holder outreach process led by david bow pray who is here today. and byron receipt planning and director. the water front site proposal really builds on the main goals that came out of that planning process in the preferred master plan creating a new district, preserving historic resources and activities, creating water front spaces and attractive innovative users. that's a two year process that took place between 2007 and to 2010. the port issued an rsq and the city to enter into an agreement with
3:26 pm
the water front site. in 2011 and for the last two years the port and oewd has been working together to do analysis and come up with concept plans for this site and community outreach and the term sheet. if the board of supervisors endorses the term sheet we anticipate two to three years of review and development agreement, negotiations, and creating design guidelines for the site. i also want to mention that the project really relies on three important pieces of legislation. prompt d which was approved by voters with 68 percent yes vote in 2008, enables the port to stream line the development
3:27 pm
process. basically they - the board will be asked to approve the plan and the changes in the structure finance plan or the combined board approval of the project and the port can move forward. ab 1199 allows the project to create financing district that captures the state's share of new tax to go toward infrastructure. and ab 418 addresses the site -- the water front site is a patch work of parcels some of which are subject to the public trust and some are not and enables the port to reorganize which parcels are subject to the trust so it's more rationale. just putting the project in

3:30 pm
team. i'm joined by alexis who is the head of the san francisco office. if an effort to be efficient, we have not included slides that talk about the extensive outreach process that we went through. i would like to just note that we did spend about a year out in the community. we hired an artist to do an illustrated narrative depicting the history of the site. we showed that as an opening that 300 people and we did focus groups and brainstorming and workshops with business owners and cultural organizations and members of the central water front advisory group. we work with our engineers and construction companies to go out and do due diligence to understand
