these years listed and requested waivers but those requests weren't acted on. since that time the housing authority has not requested additional waivers and as i understand it the city has not included revenues for those payments in the annual budgets. in its may 2013 performance audit of the san francisco housing authority the san francisco budget and legislative analyst recommended that the housing authority submit to the board of supervisors a request of waiver in lieu of taxes from 1991 through 2013. waiver of these payments does provide the housing authority with additional resources to address our enormous challenging needs

to maintain our properties and provide services to our low income residents. i am happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions? okay. mr. rose can we go to the budget analyst report please. >> yes mr. chairman. members of the committee on page 10 of the report which was indicated by the department the proposed payment in lieu of taxes to the san francisco housing authority for the period listed totals about 12.1 million that is shown in table one of page of our report. under the cooperative agreement outstanding payments are not subject to interest or penalties. we point out on page 11 of the report out of 10 housing authority surveyed throughout the country four obtained waiveers for payments to remove taxes and others made

payments to local government entities. just to clarify our recommendation in the management audit report the housing authority indicated they wanted a waiver and we said it has to be brought before the board of supervisors for approval. we made no recommendation for the approval but we did make a recommendation that this issue come before the board of supervisors, so we consider approval of the proposed resolution to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors. >> okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions? mr. avalos. >> in your opinion do you think it would be wise for the government to move $80 million into the defense budget from the human and health budgets and for hud to build houses around the country. in your opinion do you think that is a wise move? >> mr. chairman, supervisor in my opinion there are a lot of things in the federal

government i would like to look at but i don't want to make a decision at this point. >> it's a small part of the federal budget and we can request that. >> mr. rose are you saying it's a matter for that? >> maybe the federal government needs a budget analyst. >> i don't disagree. colleagues any other questions? at this point we will open it up for public comment. anyone wish to comment on item four? >> supervisors my name is douglas schaaf and i noted for the record the amount is listed and as i say what's a million here and a million there? it only matters if you're an actual taxpayer. it was noted it was previously granted through years 81 through 90. i notice nobody said how much money is involved

there so i think that should be clarified. let's put it this way. if we grant them a waiver in a certain sense you are awarding incompetency. now we know there is a lot of incompetency within the city and county of san francisco, but i think we shouldn't reward further incompetency by granting waivers. if you're going to do this it's only logical that you should allow individual taxpayers the same right, so why can't all the poor people that own property in san francisco apply for the exact same waiver and it start waiving taxes for everybody under the sun and then we will gladly see whether this is a true rational decision or not, so if i say if you're going to do it now i say open it up to every poor homeowner in san francisco and the mayor's office, and the individual supervisors to come out against

that idea because if you're going to reward incompetence why can't you reward people who are trying to best save their homes and yet you won't publicize this sort of activity. just by the fact there is no other speakers here is an indictment of how things are done -- how things are done at city hall. i was expecting plenty of people to speak out but i guess it's supposed to be a done deal. thank you. >> thank you. any other speakers? okay. seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues can i have a motion to send this item forward to the full board with recommendation? and we can do so without opposition. madam clerk can you call item five. >> item five is a resolution declare the intent of the city to reimburse expenditures of indebtedness authorizing the director of the mayor's office of community document submit

documents to the california debt limit allocation committee in the bonds in aggregated amount not to exceed [inaudible] for 280 beale street. >> thank you very much. we have the mayor's office office to speak on this item. >> elizabeth with the mayor's office on community development. the resolution before you will authorize the application for bond proceeds to pay for construction and development cost for affordable housing which is located at 280 beale street. mercy housing of california is the sponsor. when completed this affordable housing will be a 70 year small family project and 142 bedroom units and one bedroom units and one manager's unit. units are targeted to households not earning more than 50% of the

and slated to begin construction in may 2014 and complete by july 2015. today is the sponsor representative from mercy housing california. we appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the groundbreaking events. this concludes staff report and i am happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions? very much a appreciated. we don't have a budget analyst report so we will move to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues can i have a motion to move this forward and we can do so without opposition. madam clerk can you call item six. >> item six is the issuance of tax-exempt obligations - pacific primary for nonprofit corporations and aggregate not to exceed $4,500,000 to finance krears facilities owned pacific primary. >> okay. thank you very much. this item is sponsored by

supervisor breed. i believe the legislative aide will speak on this item. >> yes briefly. i think we have more qualified people than i to speak. this is in district five and supervisor breed is happy to support the refinancing and i will let them speak to it specifically. >> thanks. >> good morning. i am executive director of pacific primary. pacific primary is anonprofit full day year round school that is at grove and baker since 1974. in 2008 we opened a brand-new school so that we have a total of 155 children and we did that only to keep families in the city and to offer the type of education that we give children two and a half to six, and we very much appreciate the supervisor's attention with this request and i hope that we can

get your support. >> okay. thank you very much. colleagues any questions? okay. similarly we don't have a budget analyst report so we will move to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues can i have a motion to move this forward with recommendation and do that without opposition as well. madam clerk can you call item seven. >> item seven is retroactively approving the modification between the city and guardsmark to provide security services for the human services agency to extend the term by one month for period of december 1, 2008, through december 31, 2013 in the modified amount of $21,226,260. >> thank you. we have someone to speak on this item. welcome. >> good morning. i am from the human services eajz. we would like to request an amendment of this resolution to extend to january 31 for the full 1.9 million. the reason is that we

have the successor contract to this contract. it's been out for bid. the bids have been evaluated. we went out for supplemental questions and evaluating those and we hope to make a tentative award next week but as you remember this is a highly competitive contract and in the last go around in 2008 there were several protests, one lawsuit and appeal of a lawsuit that we ultimately prevailed upon so we want to make sure we have enough time to get the new contract back in front of you in december, but realizing december will be a short month for hearings, probably be the first of january when we get the new contract in front of you. >> okay. quick question to the city attorney's office. by extending it by a month and i want to ask mr. rose about it can we amend it and approve it today or do we have kick it a week. >> city attorney. you have to kick it for one week and

consider it next week. >> okay. anything else you want to comment about? >> no. except i would like to thank the budget analyst report for rex piindicting the report on this and apologize for the tardiness bringing this to you on a contract that expires in december and we take full responsibility for that. we have been monitoring expenses against budget and should have been against budget and board authority and we ran out of board authority by the end of september which is why we're here. >> much appreciated. thank you. colleagues any questions at this point? mr. rose maybe we can go through your report and also if you have comments about the extension for a month. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee as i understand the department there is delay in the competitive process that seems reasonable to me that it could be extended for two months instead of one month. that would not change our

recommendations whatsoever. >> okay. >> [inaudible] >> and mr. chairman, members of the committee on page 15 we show the departments and analyze the departments projected need for the increase in security services that. is shown in table one on page 15 report and contingency in that projection to get to the 1.9 million. we believe that a 10% contingency instead of 26.4 contingency is justified and would result in needed increase amount of numbers requested and our recommendation on page of the report we recommend that you recommend the proposed resolution to reduce the increase in the not to exceed

amount by $276,000 and for the total listed to reflect a 10% contingency or $168,000 in lieu of 24-point 4% contingency or $440,000 and we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> okay. thank you mr. rose so with the one month -- now does that change things here? >> yes it does. we concur with the report for that end date but by pushing it to january 31 i would like the opportunity to revisit the numbers. we believe this amount is sufficient but i don't want to come back and short change us again. >> let me suggest this. we will talk public comment but i want suggest that we continue the items and not take amendments -- hold on. we need to do the extension amendment now and do the numbers amendment next week if we can advise you to work on

it together. okay. >> and if i could make one other comment? i am sure i would appreciate and my colleagues at the other departments would appreciate if maybe we could have a small working group in next fiscal year to see ways that we can expedite the contract approvals for the board. right now they average six and eight weeks and mr. rose is accommodating but everyone needs time to do their due diligence before we bring it here and we find ourselves short in the process of getting in front of the board so the departments can do a better job of starting the process earlier but maybe we can look at the process and see some streamlining to benefit us and make it so we're not bringing these last minute contract modifications before the board. >> i don't disagree with that comment but in my experience it's going to be incumbent upon the departments to think well in advance because i will tell you departments and i appreciate

the comments earlier and jam this body and not intentionally but they do it and it's something we don't appreciate so you will find resistance on departments that come late and criticize the process for not being quick enough for them and i appreciate the comments and we can always do it better but it will come down on the departments to think ahead in the future. >> that's fine. we're willing willing to do that. >> okay. okay. so why don't we take public comment on this item? anyone wish to comment on this item? okay seeing none public comment is closed. okay. so we have a requested amendment to extend the term until from now -- instead of december 31, 2013 to january 31, 2014. could i have a motion to accept that amendment? okay. mr. city attorney just to double check we have done the amendment to extend to january 31 and if we

continue the entire item to next week we can work on the financialimplications. >> that's right and as long as they're doing that and i believe that's what they're requesting. >> we just want to check the items one more time. >> we will continue this item and to the december 4 budget and finance committee. all right. motion to continue this item as amended. so moved. thank you. >> thanks. >> madam clerk do we have any other business before us? >> no, mr. chair. >> thank you. we are adjourned.

>> good afternoon, welcome to

(pledge of allegiance). >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

>> colleagues, we have up to the 22nd, 2013 board minute meetings, motion by supervisor mar, second by supervisor breed, they are approved. madam clerk, any communications? >> no communications today. >> can you read our 2 p.m. special order. >> it is the policy discussion between mayor edwin lea representing the odd districts, distributes 1 and 3, the board may address initially up to 3 minutes, the supervisor will present their own question to the mayor, follow-up questions are in order, five minutes per supervisor. >> mr. mayor, welcome back to the boerpd, if you have any initial comments, we'd love to hear them. >> thank you, president chiu. thank you supervisors for inviting me back and also thank

you to the audience for being here as well. good afternoon. yesterday i had the opportunity to meet with 2030 transportation task force as they concluded their work. as you know, i convened this task force to plan for the city's future transportation needs. task force included supervisor chiu, supervisor wiener and supervisor avalos and i want to personally thank each of you for the valuable time you spent with that very large group of people who were thinking through all these needs. i also wanted to thank the co-chair, monique zamuda and gate hahaf, the task force identified more than 10 billion dollars in needs for transportation infrastructure and we've identified some funding but it's going to take everyone in this room to make sure we proerl fund and care for our transportation infrastructure that is vital to providing our residents a

system they can rely on today and ao into the faou khu, i look forward to working with each and every one of you to make this happen. also, as the holidays approach, i'd like to remind everybody, it is the season of giving and it's time when we highlight organization that is are so important to our fabric of social safety net for our city, the organizations that support our veterans, our homeless and those most in need of meal, shelter and essentially human services every day of the year. we also must continue to be the global citizens we are and help friends and family ins the philippines who are in trem men deuce need of our help pr the devastation of the typhoon and i know all of the supervisors have been participating, community benefit events, i want to thank each and every one of you for doing so, as i join you on citywide events, we'll continue to do our best to make sure we raise as much

funds as we can to help the recovery effort. it's going the take years but it is certainly something that's always on our minds. the campaign that we're all engaged in encourages the city's residents and business owners to dedicate whatever they can through the season of giving campaign so they can continue show casing our city as a world class city with a world class heart. and with that, we keep ensuring everyone that we continue to be the city of st. francis, so now let's proceed with questions, thank you. >> thank you, mr. mayor, our first question will be asked by our district 1 colleague, supervisor mar. >> thank you, mayor lee for being hair, the displacement is on the minds of many san franciscan, from the budget analyst report on the eviction crisis between 2009 and 2013t richmond district adds a whole

has had 79 el sack evictions and 202 no vault evictioness placing my district among the highest of all neighborhoods in these categories. we also have a very high percentage of renters who are seniors and people with disabilities, many with serious mobility issues. the richmond district and the entire west side of the city lacks tenant focus services that are concentrated on the east side of town. given the tremendous need for tenant services and the geographic inequity in their distribution within san francisco, i would like to begin exploring hopefully with your assistance the possibility of providing a multiservice center in the richmond district that would include tenant focused services. can you commit to assisting my office on working on this? >> supervisor mar, thank you for your question and i am willing to explore with you and each of the other members of the board for ways of delivering our city funded

services in a better and more effective way. as a city, we have to be open for delivering government service, we should be looking how best to tailor the services in our city and the people who live there. i'm committed to exploring the best way to reach residents of the richmond district with you, supervisor. i also share your deep concern that rez densest throughout san francisco including the richmond district are facing displacement as a result of ellis act and so called no fault evictions. as you know, i started my career as an affordable housing add voluntary cant and tenants right lawyer and pride myself to to extend the -- of an ellis act eviction and in turn help tenants remain in their homes for as long as we could. with our economy recovering from recession, there are speculators looking to take advantage of the strong real estate market at the expense of

long-time tenants with no place to go. buying a building with the sole intent to evict rent controlled tenants, speculators are undermining the affordability of our entire stock, in past economic cycles, we've seen the number of el evictions as property values increase. i'm committed to taking action on the ellis act before this disturbing trend start to spiral in even great e larger crisis, so what can we do, colleagues? well, the heart of the matter lies with the state law itself. the ellis act is being abused by real estate speculators so we need to go to the state and change that law. i will ask you, supervisor, and every member of the board of supervisors to stand with me,

we need to end the real estate speculation that is destabilizing our neighborhoods, and while we're fighting this battle, we must also stay focused on growing our own city back here at home. we need to build more housing for our growing workforce at all ranges of income -- of the income spectrum and be more attune to the needs of our seniors that are aging in place. every rental or ownership unit that comes online is one little bit of pressure released from the market, the more we build, the more affordable san francisco can remain even if it's just incrementally, supervisor, i look forward to working with you and your colleagues on the board to protect san francisco's tenants through changes to the ellis act and through full implementation of the housing trust fund. thank you. >> i have the second and final question for today. mr. may yo, every day, we are

seeing rental and homeowner ship prices -- reach san franciscans, to address our current affordability crisis, your office has been working with me and community members to prioritize housing, stabilize housing for people who live in non-permanent inlaw units among other initiative, while building subsidized affordable housing won't solve the crisis, we also know that last year's voter approved house fund will approve 1.3 billion dollars nor low and middle income san franciscans in the coming years, can you provide us with an update in the plan for the near future as well as other housing programs supported by the trust fund, what creative approaches can we do today, and what else can we do to [inaudible] on-site as

they construct market rate housing? >> thank you, president chiu for your question, and certainly i will currently -- currently 20% of what is being built in the city is permanently affordable housing for our low-income households and working class families. as you know, supervisor, over broadway is helping to develop 75 new permanently affordable homes for low-income families, i can report to all of you that the concrete podium is already up on that site. down on ocean street and supervisor yee's district in the shadow of city college, a crane is lifting material that will build 71 new homes for low-income families and transitional age youth. in the mid market area, st. anthony's the building 90 new homes for low-income seniors and in the [inaudible] market area in second and harrison

street, the kasanagus project, housing will open in december for homeless youths, these are a few site that is are permanently affordable and currently under construction. yet these projects are not funded by the housing trust fund. however, we could not be able to produce projects like these this year or in the future without our housing trust fund. in fact, if we had not responded to the loss of the redevelopment agency swiftly with a 30 year source of affordable housing funding, our housing climate would be much worse than it is today. this is the first year of the 30 year 1.3 billion dollar housing trust fund. the funds were appropriated just a few months ago. keep in mind, for every dollar the city invest, the non-project
