6:08 am
development will allow the operations to continue and uic leases those throughout the city as a tax exempt entity and they don't typically pay property tax, however, in this case citywide leases you see it's indicated it will not release those that will lease will discontinue in 20022 and in the first phase is complete in 2017. as a result of the uc consolidations tax commits in which the city and county of san francisco r will receive 68.2 million in net present value as uc vablths those
6:09 am
prompts and moves to blocks 32 and 33 pr we believe those offsets the 7.6 million >> can you repeat number again, please. >> it's also shown in table 3 of the budget analyst report report shows that. we believe the 6.2 million in the present value to the total dollars that goes to taxing entities neons offsets the payment that would have begun to ocii the total that was previously identified in the budget analyst report. certainly after the hearing two weeks ago i indicated and conceding asked for more information ocii reelevated the potential impacts to the
6:10 am
proposed uc consolidation at mission bay. the finding of which i've outlined it's this new information if the upgraded analysis error. i want to ask ken rich to briefly all the benefits to the city as a whole. i'll be quick >> just wanted to thank the committee for allowing us to drifd open the details. wells fargo within the constraints of the disillusion law we've got a comprehensive passage we're getting more money from the inclusive we're leaving the infrastructure funding intact has compared to a taxable
6:11 am
entity and the remaining funds can't be passed through because of the dissolution allowing law are being eat up by 1r5kd properties. this is something we've been working closely with ocii and i want my colleagues to be presenting this information and our presentation will be concluded. >> supervisor farrell and members of the board i'm with the planning at the ucsf we're here to present letters of support from organizations that couldn't be here including the san francisco parks alliances and the nomad garden and the leader in the dog patch neighborhood. i'm i'd like to submit this for the record and provide copies to
6:12 am
the members. so as related by director boo key and rich the university i university is ready to implement the memorandum of understanding before you including the $10. million for the affordable housing and so far infrastructure as well as other payments to maintain and infrastructure at the mission bay. through the community facilities district. i want to emphasize the you thought is ready to extend the management program to the block to get the majority of our staff and visitor out of the their cars and plan to extend our local hiring programs to hire
6:13 am
local residents. for to perform at least 20 percent of the construction hours on the site and then expend our excel job program that will provide intirmdz and job training for community resident many from the bay area and to conform our standards to the mission bay plan >> supervisor avalos. >> if i may you said that the local hiring requirement is 20 percent of contract hours. >> we have a volunteer contract of hiring san francisco for 20 percent of construction hours at mission bay. >> okay. that's. >> and we'll extend. >> i appreciate the effort it's low thirty percent is the current level. and 20 percent s was we were
6:14 am
able to get the goal it was 50 percent and not mandatory >> i'm damon the director responsible for cooperating our local hire plan with the mission bay and other community based organizations. your volunteer local hire policy we've instituted does mirror the city not a 20 percent goal for the projects i said it to be thirty percent but essentially trying to mirror with city >> supervisor breed. >> okay. are redone from the staff presentation prospective. mr. rose to our report please.
6:16 am
therefore we are now recommending the approval the proposed resolution since the $7 million gap is now taken away by the gap, in fact, a benefit of $8.5 million we base our recommendation strictly on the recommendation >> thank you supervisor breed. >> i think the problem we have with that there's no guarantee the property will be render and the taxs would be collected. that property has nothing to do with that property we need to treat it different we have no control over the property they
6:17 am
occupy. i realize realize this was brought up as a argument but don't understand why we approve an agreement when we should be asking for the entire amount for the contracted. the reality is yes ucsf is one of the biggest employees in san francisco. yes, their developing with the mission bay they have partial parcels they've worked together with but at the end of the day long term ucsf is not 3w4r50bd to may taxes to the city and county of san francisco so my prospective in all fairness they should fulfill the responsibilities to the proposed taxes for this parcel.
6:18 am
i understand this is a deal between the sell forest but required to be approved by the body human resources for clarity it's no a certa - not a certain >> i understand supervisor breed's concerns we're like many tenants in office buildings this month of the space we're talking about is in office building and one of the main purposes for acquiring the property is to
6:19 am
reduce the costs. this is a hive incentive for us to vacate those properties who's leases b will be expiring in 2018 pr the current leases are below the office represent so the rent will be escalating and there's a strong reason to vacate, however, there's a strong incentive to do so especially consolidate those with the programmed >> mr. rose. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee i believe that supervisor breed has made a good point. >> really good point. >> in that there's no
6:20 am
guarantee. that ucsf will relocate. so the committee might want to consider an amendment if possible that will give assurance f to the committee that, in fact, what they say they'll intend to do or go obligated for the 10 point plus million dollars. >> i get our comments i have a little bit of personal prospective one the biggest property in my district we've been working on i've had multiplied discussions thank you for the team for spending time with me. absolutely no guarantees i don't think a guarantee will work. who knows what will happen but it makes sense no sense for a
6:21 am
hundred thousand dollars facility and not move the employees there they're not growing their workforce by that much i get it's not a guarantee based on my own experience they're trying to vacant the property in my district. i want to thank them for working with me and hopefully to continue to work together. i'm improvement with the proceeds i'm not guaranteed they'll come in, however, >> supervisor wiener. >> i have a question for rich or other on the development fees. so let's assume the sales force has kept the land it's deficit into one portion inform ucsf and one to the warriors and my
6:22 am
understanding is the warriors will they darn well better be paying transit and development fees. but ucsf b will not and ucsf is a state entity so had sales force kept the entire piece of land and developed it as originally planned would p d i f knee with the other regulations >> it's a tricky question if the sales force state on a schedule interpret at that point insides the 10 year point. >> let's assume 10 years
6:23 am
extraordinary. >> that aside yes. any non-taxable entity will pay the fees. >> so right now my understanding the reason that ucsf is open the hook for the 32 or $39 million is because those were obligations that were recorded against the property by the sales force and ucsf stepped up to the plate into the sales force shoes. >> they were rotted by the land own and passed on. >> and ucsf stepped up to the plate into the shoes. >> yes. >> why were there no fees recorded against the property. >> supervisor wiener tiffany back in 2005 when the mission bay owner participation contract
6:24 am
was amended it was that provision that is now about the board and the o pa the 14 percent any taxes exempt they have to either pay or enter a payment tax agreement between the master developer and the former agency that tax payment agreement was recorded bifocals - by fossil. at the time it was to make up for and it was within the 10 year exemption period to make up for affordable housing and the other core obligation under the contract. i think it had a function of the
6:25 am
time period the fact that it was a third party conceptual agreement between the city and occ it was really focused on the provision and the fees and 10 year lockout was taken care of with the redevelopment plan >> was it not within the 10 year period it applied to mission bay. >> it was negotiated it didn't it was within the 10 year lock anti period so it wasn't at the forefront i wasn't at the table at the time but based on my review of the parties at the table and we were not at the table when the new seasons apply. >> i appreciate that so i'll
