8:03 pm
great thing we've spending our resources to clean up the graffiti and what have you so it can be a nuisance i think some of our questions i have 3 profiler number one i know it talks about store front vacancies are you addressing those above ground some have been vacant. >> if you want to continue. >> do all the questions great. number 2 i believe i read it allows you to take a year but we have a project that is longer than that. and then number 3 i know there's items on the questionnaire you mentioned they have to list the prior use this was of concern to
8:04 pm
some property owners buildings change use and how is that information used and a question about the a.d. of the bathrooms >> thank you. >> next speaker >> my name is beginning i example for a coalition development group to fill vacant prospers around the excelsior corridor we have a vacancy rate around 13 percent of most property owners are responsible and actually work to lease their space some leave their properties abandoned for years this contributes to the safety
8:05 pm
concerns run around the corridor we see this as an important legislation to help community serving businesses i want to submit a letter we hope to see this unanimous support. >> is there any additional public comment on item 3 who hadn't spoken sorry you've spoken already. other people i respect yeah, so seeing none. supervisor tang >> great thank you supervisor wiener just to answer a couple of questions number one was a question is this legislation to cover the unit above actually this legislation was to address the issue where we were not capturing information on the ground floor so the vacant ordinances in supervisor chiu was to cover all aspects of the
8:06 pm
building whether it's ground floor, above units all of that. the second question regarding the year to make improvements on page 3 line 14 our stunt was to we we said along theres a valid permit for the construction and they complete that within one year of the irrational permit we'll allow for the leeway we want to make sure that people take out permits and wait five or six years i understand sometimes their hiccups with the permitting process so for that i don't know if the city attorney can address those issues but our intent to make sure we account for people that have a permit that is valid and taking action and not just sitting on it. i don't know, there there if there's a way to clarify the language >> john gibner, deputy city
8:07 pm
attorney i think we could i'm not sure exactly i can't come up with the words off the top of my head but we can prepare an amendment when it goes to the board to work with you over the next week to make it happen. >> and the third question about the perspire use and how the information is used we found that having this information in a database like sf a lot of times small business owners when they're looking for a space maybe the previous use was a restaurant so do i need to go and get another conditional use permit that's one example but that is essentially what we want to use it for a tool for the people who are coming in and looking for vacant space so what kind of permits they need and ada we're not including
8:08 pm
information in that so maybe that's a prior version but we're aware of the challenges if we put the information out there we wanted to critical pieces for people. i hope that addresses some of your concerns. with that, i wanted to before we take any action you have the legislation before you but there a couple of amendments i want to record package 4 line 11 we're trying to provide a contact phone number four on the commercial shop owner and state the most legal use of the store front and the square footage of the store front on same package 4 line 16 through 17 and the language unless the director has issued a notice to register
8:09 pm
under the section in which case the registration fee should be die 2 hundred and 75 days after the notice and adding the words if required by section 8. with that, i'd like to if there are no questions i want to urge my colleagues to support this item to the full board >> supervisor kim. >> i was going to make a motion to accept the amendments. >> we'll take those amendments supervisor cohen without objection. >> the amendments are adapted can i have a motion to have this to the full board that will be the order. thank you >> madam clerk can you please call items 4 to 5 together. >> item 4 is a resolution adapting economical community
8:10 pm
recommended to the airport terminal one program and item 5 is an ordinance waving our contracts and procures for the airport terminal one project. >> kathy wagner from the airport is here to talk about items 4 to 5. >> thank you kathy with the san francisco airport the airport is seeking our approval to adjust the section selection process for 2 terminal 2 design team to adapt as well as to adapt the california sequa findings that no e-cigarette environmental reports are required for the terminal projects. our terminal one and boarding area are procured as a request for the proposal requests for two contracts resulting in two
8:11 pm
separate design teams. although the projects will be flu sdprathd the size and complexity is to break in into two projects that addresses the concerns the risk through bonds and insurance as well as providing for o more incredible opportunities the admin jafts will allow the airport to have core subcontractors before the construction and the addition of core subcontractors allows for a better plan and design project in our experience it's my understanding this approach was taken with the new general hospital and the core sum contractors are plumbing and building and information technology as well as in our case the building the facade of the building additionally the
8:12 pm
ordinance requests the admin code no more than that 7.5 percent of intashthd construction work to be negotiated and the airport is seeking your approve to raise the threshold on both projects it will insure we'll be able to contract with the terminal light systems such as our passenger boarding systems and security program. i want to reiterate or explain we'll not deviate from the final evaluation we'll have 65 percent of the final evaluation to no fiscal impact and lastly the current environmental review has
8:13 pm
been elevated not called out specifically as terminal b program or t one program. and that's how we refer to it in our documents so the airport is seeking the accepts and i'll be happy to answer questions i'm joined by the terminal project manager that will address concerns you have >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you for your joining us my questions are not focused on the item before us dealing with the adaptation of the sequa act but more or less around the contracting for terminal one. i was wondering in you have numbers you can report to the body how many women or minority businesses that have gotten contract
8:14 pm
>> on those two projects before you. >> yes. >> i don't know if we have that but i'll ask the project manager to come up. >> i'm interested to know in terms of how many of those firms also interested in how much money those contracts - how much money is on the table. >> i can get back to you but i can tell you right now those projects are pretty big about a billion dollars each so we're talking about fairly large contracts it make sense to split it into two so we can get more local businesses eligible and i'm glad you brought that that
8:15 pm
you but i'm concerned i want to make sure we're breaking up this large project we're breaking it up so that some small businesses can bid and deliver on those projects it's a - >> that's the intent i'm going to let ruben address that but i'll be happy to report back as we have a better idea of the numbers of local businesses who submit and receive the work and happy to get the details. >> i'd be happy to have one in this conversation i'm reminded maybe we should have a hearing on this item because i'm thinking about contract compliance i, you know, if i'm
8:16 pm
not mistaken you had one person on your staff maybe two persons i can't recall but left with the impression you might need to scale up to manage the process so people who are pro tem to differ contracts that the subcontractors are on their commitment and make sure the contractors are paid in 0 timeline we've heard the larger contractors have the ability to float a lot more money so i'm going to go ahead and ask your colleague. >> thanks for being here. >> good evening i'm running even i'm the terminal one director for the san francisco airport. so i want to make sure i
8:17 pm
understand the question did you ask what number of companies that have contracts from terminal one >> i'm looking for some kind of data what is exactly going on but one thing we know there's a huge undertaking with the project it's unclear specifically zeroing in on subcontractors veteran owned businesses and minor owned businesses and women owned businesses. >> we're working closely with the city's contract monitoring division on coming up with some very, very progressive programs of encouraging local business entries certificate local service enterprises if the professional services meaning like the design and architect as
8:18 pm
he disappearance and working with them on establishing a table goals for subcontractors so we actually don't have the exact data as far as our data we're going to establish a percentage goal we're going to be progressive we're getting indications there's companies not getting some opportunity but were working with maria's group c m.d. to establish reasonable objectionable goals i'll get those numbers. >> thank you what i can do i'll make a hearing request and make that official so what i'm saying don't trouble yourselves getting the numbers save it for the fall. thank you for your time.
8:19 pm
mr. chair >> maybe i can work with our office a lot of those are being done on a project by project basis to make sure we're far enough into the promotions to have good data maybe i can work with our staff. >> i can understand that but the other thing i want to ask the questions early enough through the process if we're going down the wrong path we're able to call that needed change quickly so we can correct some discrepancy sisters. >> thank you. we'll not open up items 4 to 5 up to public comment is there
8:20 pm
any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues could i have a motion to forward items 4 and 5 to the full board. actually okay madam clerk actually before item 6 john gibner has some clarity >> sure john gibner, deputy city attorney item one supervisor farrell's the ground floor commenting you asked about the difference of the private and public storing garage that ordinance is basically saying only audibles maybe stored in public storage garages and private garages expect you can store others stuff the housing
8:21 pm
code differences it as a building with 3 or more dwelling unit be or so basically any place where a dwelling unit is covered by this expectation the definition the private garage is a garage grarg for the use of the tenant to the building it's attached to and public storage garage t is not defined but utilizations in the planning code to use a garage available to the public where cars and others vehicles are parked to the general rule is for garages where vehicles are parked only vehicles can be parked there and also the garage is associated with a residential building. >> i see no, thank you for clarifying i'm seen pretty large
8:22 pm
parking garages for condos but that will fit under the amendment that supervisor farrell is making a that's right navigate the housing code says residential condos are apartment housing. >> but when the parking garage is not linked that's considered a public or private thank you. >> okay madam clerk call item number 6. >> item 6 is a hearing considering the blow market rate from the mayor's office of housing. >> supervisor kim is the author. >> i ask to continue this to the to the call of the chair we're in the process of preparing a lot of other questions came forward we want to get answers to we want to brainstorm before the hearing so
