this committee we had a to make a decision on funding 3 needed to go out to the city for a fire to happen to truld on the docks so the owner the boat that was leasing the docking area ended up to have she or he's the question i have we require that they have insurance so what is the mechanism to make sure that whoever treasure island leased the space to what have the insurance necessary? >> thanks for your question that incident you're talking about happened about 8 years ago before i got on the board i know

it from the staff briefing us a tug boat was brought out and they're allowed to park and they off and on the boat didn't have insurance and the city had to pay for that. since then it's a requirement and it's checked and you can't sign a lease unless you have a card on file and it's up for renewal the staff make sure it happens there's zero incidents since >> that's a good answer. thank you >> thanks. >> public comments i have a few cards here.

francisco labor council one hundred and 50 units both from the public and private sector and larry sits on the council he's one of the top leaders in the city and i just want to say that, you know, having that labor sitting on that commission as a director of tida is extremely important and the labor movement supports larry so we think he's done an incredible job as this island evolves so we support the labor union supports larry mazola. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors i came today to support larry mazola junior larry and i were

appointed at the same time in 2010 and served together for almost 4 years. some of you know i retired and as of mark in the morning on the commission but i wanted to share with you my experience working with larry and it's been a good one. i'm probably going to echo a couple of things he's been a responsible and committed board member. all of his colleagues appreciate him, you know, and his commitment to the work we do there. i've been personally witnessed many, many times when we had controversial issues come up before our board that larry has listens to all sides and in all cases he comes down on the side of the residents and the community on treasure island and i really appreciated him for

that and my other colleagues did as well. he was unanimously elected at first, as secretary of the board and later elected unanimously as vice president. and there's no question about his strong leadership skills and his positions in the city as a labor leader i think that preserve is absolutely necessary on the board i strongly recommend his reappointments >> any public comment on that item? seeing none, public comment is closed supervisor campos. >> i guess it's possible to have more than one larry on the commission that i'm happy to move this forward with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you happy to second

i've learned the title of the committee i'm qualified. it's been an honor to be a representative on this board. i'm sure you're aware of the board was established after the board was dissolved we provide fiscal oversight to the critical development to the projects that remain to be completed. there's been a lot of very intense decision making that needed to be taken palace following the dissolution the board has worked welling well, to try to address those decisions and exerted the best judgment in completing the transbay terminal and hunters point shipyard projects. the board has cooperated closely with the mayor and his instead

of the controller and we continue to work with the states department and finance to try to help the city complete it's fiduciary abilities to the enforceable obligations throughout the city although redevelopment has come to an end the redevelopment will continue over the years i respectively ask for your support >> supervisor campos. >> thank you, very much sir, i think this is an important reappointment. and i don't think we're going to do better than given our expertise and the experience i'm very glad you want to continue to serve i'm happy to support you today. i'm wondering, sir what your key challenges you see are and

priorities that your moving forward >> yeah. i'll be glad to certainly not an expert but learning about redevelopment in san francisco it's kind of stated in a way to learn about development and seeing the program ending the tremendous impact on the city. san francisco, you know, really developed the redevelopment program in the way it was intended and other places didn't and the scale that allowed the city to work at is really terrific how we make intelligent decisions are a very long way to life they have left and while working through the state department of finance trying to apply rules and regulations and interpretations statewide to our city here and the project the

unique nature of the projects is by far the most challenging and continuing our obligations on affordable housing is the component of many projects that is going to be very challenging we've learned a lot about the employee side and a lot of people with a great deal of city history and knowledge that are leaving because very development is coming to an end so this absent or flight of knowledge and some of the difficult decisions we have to make about projects in a deep investment in is of a - a very challenging situation >> thank you. i had did opportunity to work with you your sharp a quick study. >> thank you, sir. >> .

tim paulson welcome back and it's tim paulson day at the rules committee >> thank you, sir its great to be here with great representatives on the commission. i want to acknowledge we're very aware of the labor of the redevelopment and how key it was in a lot of the moving forward in the development of the city the hunters point and the areas named to through out the baby with the bathwater was not the great thing the successor agency has to manage the funds and bob is an excellent representative of - i do want to remind that you bob is the employee person

who was chaired to the labor council in setting the table for the negotiations that have happened with so many of the employees that are here in the city and county of san francisco and hesitate navigation is good to move him forward we're proud to have him as a representative i urge your reappointment to the board >> thank you any public comment on that item? seeing none, public comment is closed. a supervisor tang >> all right. well i again really want to thank bob for taking the time to serve it's a complicated issue. and so i know that given our work and local 21 and some of the members that are working were formerly at the redevelopment agency it's

important to have our prospective on the board with that with full recommendation to the full board. on a normal schedule >> twhats normal? we'll take that without objection. that item passes. >> that item 5. >> is the reappointment of john ram to the successor agency to the city and county of san francisco term ended january 24th, 2018. >> good afternoon john ram speaking to you not as a board member but with the office of infrastructure with that, i think my 3 minutes are up. thank you for your consideration today and to reaffirm i'm my

interests in staying on the board it's an important robot to over see the dissolution of the agency as the gentleman said it's been changing. but in seeing through the very important robot on the enforceable obligations at the mission bay and hunters point shipyard and the housing replacement obligations. i'm sure you're aware of the oversight board has the fiduciary responsibility to over see the fiscal dissolution and working with our other board members and the taking entities that have an interest. i see my roll always the land use roll so the board is doing with the prospective in the larger use of the land use in the city i enjoyed that roll and

frankly have learned a lot on the fiscal side of the operation. so i'm very interested to continue my work on the board and with my fellow board members we're an interesting broad range of folks. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them thank you. >> okay. no questions. how did you get away with that?
