desirable. i don't know if that would be granted. but if it can be, that would be a direction to pursue. another direction to pursue, although the way the floor plan works is not brilliant, but it does work given the program that you have been given by your clients. i think that your clients might want, might want to work with them in revising some of the programmatic requirements so it can allow for some additional room for the other unit. we are not going to design it here for you. you are the architect so you can figure that part out. but for the client, the commission is extremely uncomfortable with the way the current layout is. you weren't here in the beginning, but you
9:31 am
can listen to the video afterwards if you wish to get some of the comments that were made before you arrived. we on tomorrow night at 8:00 or you can go to your computer and go to sfgtv and look at the hearing. there are some things they can pursue. >> i wanted to add is the reason it's difficult to merge units is the only affordable housing stock we have is older housing stock. particularly to rent control and older units, etc. we struggle, we know there is 30,000 units that are off the market and people buy buildings knowing they are
9:32 am
3-unit buildings and they want to merge the units and that's how we slowly chip away. that's the challenge. we are trying to figure out a compromise where we are going to consider allowing you to merge down from a number that you are but still have a unit that is at least a good size standard that will remain at some point on the rental market theoretically. our job in the city and county of san francisco is to maintain the housing stock in san francisco and that's where we are coming from. again you you bought a 3-unit building, not a single family home. that is just a fact. actually it's rh 3 and you changing the form isn't condonding.
9:33 am
>> it was originally constructed as a 2 story unit. that is what is the prevalent for construction. if this is where we've gone from the 50s to the 60s which had a high incidence of families and lowest in california and possibly united states. so by not allowing larger units to be created because we are not building a lot of new houses with larger units, then we are only exacerbating the problem because there is plenty of smaller units being created. i don't agree with the policy, but it's a policy we have to follow. so a continuance is what we have to do. february 6th. is that adequate for the project sponsor to do something
9:34 am
by february 6th? >> that would be wonderful. can i ask for a little bit more feedback which is would the addition of an extra bedroom make this feel more approvable. is there any feedback other than us working with staff >> i heard the commission say they wish to see a larger unit on the second floor. the addition of an extra bedroom could make it feel that way. the feeling that they are, i think we are seeking to feel an intention that this can function as 2 units regardless of who is living in them. i think to me, commissioner sugaya, speaking about the program is some concerns the
9:35 am
way the program is, it seems like you don't have many options. >> commissioner moore? >> if i may add, the thought of eventually looking for a variance on less parking for gaining additional square footage is a possibility including where the unit is located and reopening as a diagram for this commission to really see where some of the critical triggers are. in addition to that, mr. washington, if i may, as you you are kindly looking for operables, will you look at that type of victorian flat and see what we have especially when we are dealing with an elevator and what structural engineering problems that causes and what opportunities it opens? >> we'll do our best to try to
9:36 am
find similar layout, similar building designs with this same type of request. >> thank you. >> thank you. please call the question. >> on the motion to continue to february 6, 2014. commissioner antonini, hillis, moore, sugaya, commissioner chair wu. that motion passes 6-0. and places you on public comment. i have no speaker cards. >> any general public comment? seeing none, public comment is close. meeting adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >>

9:47 am
to two months for the period january 1, 2014 through february 28, 2014, and to increase the contract amount by an amount not to exceed $70,000, to provide security services at the hunters point shipyard, for a total aggregate amount of $1,776,613; hunters point shipyard redevelopment project area. discussion and action, resolution number 58 2013. madam director. >> congratulations, madam chair, madam vice-chair, commissioners, and welcome to the members of the public. thank you for joining us. commissioners, this is a simple limited term extension for an existing bayview contractor, mccoy security, as provided for under the hunters point shipyard phase 1dda, the developer can
9:48 am
provide these services. it already provides property management services for the balance of the shipyard, and this limited term extension will allow the developer to go through your purchasing policy and procurement get back contractor on board. so, with that i'd like to ask [speaker not understood] the hunters point shipyard project manager to walk you through the proposed detail of this proposed project. >> thank you, executive director, greetings. once again, president of the commission, ms. christine johnson, congratulatetions. [speaker not understood], 70,000 to the budget for services during this period. to do that i'll briefly summarize whatth project is, give you some background on the agreements requiring
9:49 am
security services agreement [speaker not understood] lastly give you an overview of community services solicitation upped our undertaking. before that i want to introduce mccoy services ms. [speaker not understood] coleman. please stabbed. and ms. karen bay from lennar corporation. as you know, the hunters point shipyard project is one of three major projects, major approved projects [speaker not understood] the office of community investment and infrastructure is undertaking. it spans both the shipyard proper and the [speaker not understood] bayview for a total of 7 88 acres along the southeastern water froth of san francisco. the shipyard program includes over 12,000 homes, 32% of which will be affordable, a rebill of alice griffith public housing development. 3,000 square feet of research space, 350 acres of new and improved parks and all this will be developed over two phases by the lennar corporation under
9:50 am
a first phase it what approved in 2003 under a disposition and development agreement. and second dda in 2010. this will produce thousands and thousands of jobs and 12,000 permanent jobs over the course of the project along with significant infrastructure both community facilities and transit and other types of infrastructure. and as you know, the [speaker not understood] development broke ground this year in july. one of the principal agreements and the first obligations underpinning the shipyard project is the conveyance agreement between the former redevelopment agency, now the office of community investment and infrastructure, and the navy. the conveyance agreement provides a regulatory framework and process for ocii to receive and manage additional shipyard parcels from the navy in phases over time. one of the first transfer responsibilities that came in 2000 in anticipation of a future parcel a transfer was security and base access management. and furtherance of that, the
9:51 am
former redevelopment agency entered into a security cooperative agreement with the navy in 2005 which is essentially a contract to provide security services of the shipyard which the navy provides the majority of funding for. prior to the security [speaker not understood] agreement being entered into but in anticipation of future community property transfer, the agency conducted a solicitation in 2000 and selected mccoy's patrol services to provide security services at the shipyard. services scope includes front gate access control 24 hours a day 7 days a week, along with ship wide hourly roving patrol on the overnight shift. reporting duties associated with the contract including the reporting of any disturbances to the authorities and ocii and the developer and the preparation of daily, monthly, and vehicle reports and logs. the contract that we are extending today expires december 31st,
9:52 am
2013 and it is at the end of a five-year contract with an annual budget of just over $385,000. the 2003 phase 1dda required lennar to provide property management services at the shipyard through an interim lease which was executed in 2004. that interim lease required lennar to provide all the property management for ocii occupied areas of the shipyard which today, as you know, is only parcel a and a portion of parcel b which is occupied by the artist. however, the former redevelopment agency elected the contract for security services directly in 2000 and reserved the right to acquire lennar to provide security services if requested in the future by the agency ~. due to the constraints on ocii's staffing as a result of dissolution process, lennar is best positioned to provide security services at the shipyard, especially since they are already providing all the other property management services. lennar agreed to do this. shipyard advisory committee
9:53 am
recommended we move forward with this. unfortunately due to the timing of the extension term and lennar's rfp schedule, the additional time is needed on the contract. the time and budget extensions are anticipated to carry us through the rfp period and be sufficient until there is a new contract. rfp is planned for release december 209tion, 2013 with prep sam due january 23rd, 2014. lennar will be conducting an extension i have rfp outreach process to ensure san francisco bay firms are apprised of the [speaker not understood] and they get an opportunity to submit proposals. both myself and folks from lennar and mccoy are here to answer any questions. that conclude the presentation. thank you. >> thank you very much, mr. kasloski. is there any public comment on this item? >> no speaker cards, madam chair. >> thank you very much. so, i think the reason for this is pretty clear.
9:54 am
you know, the agency -- the lennar, rather, manages most of the other property management roles on the shipyard currently and in my mind, from staff's information sort of makes sense that we would wrap this underneath their management as well so they can sort of have a bird's eye view of everything at the shipyard, not have this sort of one piece sort of segmented out for the agency to have to manage. so, those are my thoughts on it. are there any other questions about the contract extension? or the property management and the shipyard? >> i think they are doing a very good job. i know -- [speaker not understood] for a minute? i know him when he was a little boy. [laughter] >> and, you know, he's very, very nice. i don't know the other people, but i know him. so, i think they are doing a good job. >> and thank you very much for
9:55 am
being here today. i don't know if you want to say a few words. yeah, but i'm hoping that you guys are ready for the contract or for the rfp that lamar will put out and you're having no issues there with being prepared to potentially, you know, apply for that. so, commissioner ellington, did you have -- >> if they wanted to say a few words on behalf of the organization. >> no. >> okay. so, if we've got questions about what we're actually -- the resolution we're looking at today, i'd like to entertain a motion and a second. >> i move. >> is there a second? what, what? yeah, i asked for the comment already. i know you're watching me like a hawk. i'm trying to be on my game. there were no cards. >> i second it. >> thank you very much. madam secretary, please call the role. >> commission members please annoyance your vote when i call your
9:56 am
name. commissioner ellington? >> aye. >> commissioner montahar abseptember. commissioner sipping? >> yes. >> vice-chair rosales? >> yes. >> madam chair johnson? >> aye. >> madam chair the vote is four ayes and one absent. >> thank you very much. please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 6, public comment on non-agenda items. >> do we have any public comment? >> no. >> okay, next item. >> the next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. >> thank you very much. no specific predetermined report today, although i will say our next meeting is going to be in the southeast. our meeting will be in hunters point in the southeast community facility tart starting at 4 o'clock on december 7th. excuse me? >> january 7th. >> january 7th. what did i say? sorry, january 7th. and i'm really excited for us to be getting back out into the community again with our meetings. next item. >> the next order of business
9:57 am
is item 8, report of the executive director, madam director. >> thank you, madam secretary. commissioners and members of the public, i have three short updates for you. the first, thank you to all the members of the public and the hard work of the staff and in particular the leadership and direction from this commission. we just had a groundbreaking at transbay block 6 about approximately 400 market rate units golub, chicago director he, this is their first investment in san francisco and i believe they've done it right upped your review and direction. it combines 70 units of affordable housing on block 6. [speaker not understood] truly sustainable mixed say stainable. [speaker not understood], mercy housing will be developing another 77 units of housing. so, really thank you for your efforts and the efforts of the community to make that happen. i think that's really emblematic of the work do you here and the work we do with the hard working staff. so, that's one. two, just to draw your
9:58 am
attention, there is an informational memorandum in your packet about -- as required under state law. and just good prudence. we do have an independent auditor's report that reviews our year-end financials. no material weaknesses were found. we certainly are managing our funds appropriately and we can also provide you additional details in the new year in 2014 through the budget process, which we will be kicking off rather soon in february, actually, in term of reports of our balances, how we've been doing over the course of the last year so we can look forward to that in the new year. and then lastly, i'm really pleased as we're wrapping up all the significant accomplishments. i think it's almost a year to the date or so that this commission has been installed and we're moving at quite a fast clip here. and i am pleased to announce
9:59 am
another advancement. in the shipyard, the developer there, lennar, has informed us that they are proceeding with construction. they've secured outside lender financing for block 53 and 54 which you provided a design review approval, the vertical dba approval for those blocks, include 54 townhomes, 105 flats and they are expected to be complete in april 2015. we'll have again a more detailed report for you in 2014, early 2014, but i wanted to let you know that your work and your leadership are resulting in new homes on the shipyard, in total approximately now it will be 250 homes under construction. housing, really housing for all working families, working san franciscans. so, that's quite exciting. and then i did want to draw your attention, just as a personal
10:00 am
point of privilege, to share a communication that i received from the hunters point developer, lennar. i have received notice that cheryl smith, who is the director of their community affairs, many of you know her from her deep work. she comes from the bayview. her tireless work of the last six years. certainly she will be missed. she's created a deep bench there in order to carry on her work. but really, i think the shipyard, it stands where it does today in large part to her personal commitment and her work on behalf of her neighborhood bayview and all san franciscans. she certainly will be missed and we wish her well. but they certainly do have a deep bench to carry it on. but i did want to draw your attention to that. that concludes my director's report. >> thank you very much. we will be sad to see cheryl go, yes, she will definitely be missed. not that she's like, you know
