5:30 pm
supervisors that we're looking for that high-level of affordability. we're looking at a first time home buyer is not necessarily someone who has a home. we want to make sure that the first time homeowner gets. i also feel their are other parts i want to look like. we want to make sure we're not giving a subsidy but we are talking not 2 hundred percent from h m i for a family of 4 is
5:31 pm
$230,000 but i think it's like a home that's superfluous luxurious i'm not sure the rules are codified. but i think there should be some public discussion about what we're planning for. also wondering if we have
5:32 pm
>> brian chu mayor's office community development. in terms of whose included in the first responder program it's true that the first responder so we included the fire and sheriff's department and police officers to find out if they have a city definition. as first responders they gave us a list of what they felt were the d hr responder
5:33 pm
classifications. that does include the emts so that's why some other folks you may have thought of like nurses they're not technically within the city definition of what a first responder is. so is the d h.r. definition consulted after it was craft >> my understanding so it was done with d h.r. at the time it was put into the ordinance. >> if i may this is something ii may have taken a lead on when we put in the first responder program it was designed to be something very different. we work with our management
5:34 pm
department and the department of human resources we need to put limitations on it. i can't avoid the fact that i grew up with first responder but when we have the next one hit we need more folks more first responders living 90 in our neighborhoods. i think there are limited funds especially in year one. so what the program became let's do the sheriff's and firefighters in the first run. and that includes the 9-1-1 folks but to come it with the core folks now.
5:35 pm
as i mentioned this is year one in the thirty year program before let's angela get a core program on first and then moving forward we can potentially expand it if the fund are there >> i could see a core program but really bringing down the income level is really important. i think it's important in the passage of the property c before and the idea of second homes not being a part of the qualification. it doesn't make sense if you have a second home. but also living in overall with the purpose price that would qualify for the down payment.
5:36 pm
if you're trying to find a luxury home i should be living within the means i think it was originally designed for. those are my thoughts i have other parts of housing tries fund. i know there's been some flexibility around the housing funds. supervisor moore >> i want to say i'm in agreement to blow 2 hundred percent to qualify for this. if you can't limit this to people who don't currently own a home they've sold their home adds to the calculation of why they needed the assistance. and i'm in agreement with a
5:37 pm
community of organizations that defines the first responders. so what you can do to broaden the definition to include others besides firefighters and police and sheriff's it would be helpful >> thanks for those suggestions. as the lady suggested. we're going to be going into ongoing discussions. as you mentioned it's going to be a pilot program. we're able to make a program and tweak it. so thanks >> consideration of time i'll keep going here. the other thing we're doing with the trust fund hearing we're spending down as well as leveraging other state and local
5:38 pm
funds. this is important where the federal and state requirement limit the using uses like maybe owner occupied. we want to use the local dollars to expand the programs for homeowner thought accident city. and in terms of our affordable housing pipeline projects that are funded through our housing funds there's 14 million allocated in the first year. that's barely enough to complete one housing project. we prioritized those promotions that have been in the cuing for several years like a state grant or a hud grant. or other reasons where they have to be funded this year.
5:39 pm
i can talk about that more. i wanted to - >> supervisor avalos. sorry >> just a couple of questions. i was under the awe assumption >> in the first two years there's no attempt to bopped. number one we have considerable fund balances over at the redevelopment agency we need to spend down. many of that debt service once it is retired there will be lessen an impact on the general fund. additionally we are getting a lot of other sources and funds right now. i mentioned earlier in our
5:40 pm
development impact fees have been low. my first year in 2345089 we had $220 million in refunds. we're anticipating those projects to come online giving us a source of inclusionary and linkage fees. additionally any funds from the tick legislation are another affordable pipeline. in year one and two it's not necessary to bond. but we're seeing is another type of issue not so much a funding issue. >> we were told that the upper generated that maybe in the first crush for the first year. >> i understand there are
5:41 pm
acquisition costs. i i've only, you know, what's solid if the plan one year one. but opportunities change based on project deadlines and so as and said those projects that have been if the x are going in the next two years supervisor we're not to say we don't want to continue to work with our office to get that project going >> okay. thank you. >> i want to get clarity on something you said as getting available funds once the debt is paid downor the housing trust fund were envisioned. right now this is a general set aside but as debt fees get paid down they'll be a source of -
5:42 pm
it's not additional funds flowing down - >> so we're not at risk of those dollars being taken by the state. >> we're fortunate because we're the biggest tax entities being that the state denies let's say the projects for the redevelopment agency or doesn't fund them at the level we require immediately those funds flowback to the general fund and can be a priority for this border, however. >> can we rely on the possibility of those funds? >> i think around the major approved projects especially the shipyard where we have final and
5:43 pm
inclusive fined we will be able to fund our housing obligations. we have mission bay and the shipyard additionally we continue to ask for dofs approval. and that would be uses citywide for a lot of projects >> just judge want to be clear. we've been told different things. there was a statement by olsen year it wasn't going to be in year one and there was another gentleman who said there could be a freeze. i realize there's a lot of that need support
5:44 pm
>> i could be more clear. i'm talking about terms of our pipeline next year we have inclusionary housing fees we're anticipating coming on line we can used for a variety of sites. we need to see what that funding level is. i think before we build a affirm commitment for next year >> okay. thank you. this is an overview the housing trust budget. as you can see the 20 million is here and there's 21 million that includes the first responders we're spending another 2 had the 6 million for loan repayments. so we're looking at about 4.6 or
