minutes but when the artists came to the shipyard at this point there was no, we didn't know in the community that the shipyard was a super funds site number one we didn't learn that null afterward that was a super site i still is i'd like to say i'm called the ambassador for solar and i think you need to be in contact with the staff there because the mayor of the city just okayed a $5 million for this year this coming year so we need to be, you know, working together and making sure that solar is there because i have to show them my pg&e and my pg&e was $4.15 i'm in a house a big

house. so the thing of it is - oh, i'd like to say that when the navy came about there was a administration boards set up because of the shipyard being a stirrup fund sites but what happened was the rap members didn't support of the d b.a. at that time, because we knew the area was not clean enough to residential standard as the voters voted 87 percent that no man be transported from the shipyard until it was claendz. i know you're going to vote yes. because of the fact that your appoint by mayor and i know that willie brown this is his baby and even though the area is not

clean i feel sorry i really feel sorry for the people that goes on that site to that shipyard. the people are dying. people is still getting sick because of the work that is going on presently that shouldn't be going on because which the judge's ruling back in july 11, 2011. i want you all to be able to sleep at night knowing what is happening in my community and i had the young lady to pass out the secretary of state to pass out a statement i put together and gave to the board of supervisors and every committee. dealing with the justification of my community and the toxins that are there they before they

vote yes on anything that deals with lamar. thank you >> thank you, dr. jack. >> next speaker >> good afternoon, commissioners and linking aid audience. the last time i came here the commission slung but realistically i'm not up here to say yay or nay but making statements on on the historical value and history because we're dealing with history as momma dr. jackson indicated it's no mystery as you check the history if you look at were about is black african-american history that we are at the bottom of

this some kind of disconnect but i'm happy about now that willie brown has decided by force has to disclosure the things he's been involved with its going to show who's in control in san francisco we have a brand new concept a brand new landscape. i'm concerned as an african-american black man even if even though we talk about the projects it's no mystery if you check the history the african-americans won't be involved with none of the benefits we won't be around now this agency i'm not faulting but it's one of the ones that's been there from the inception of the declining african-american and all the artists i'm not sure of

their reasons but ladies and gentlemen, i'm not going to be here like go 10 or 20 years ago i can't make an the amendment that yours truly in washington is consolidating all my efforts as well as the media into one thing called the washington post in california we say the washington post in california i'm connecting california to washington. ladies and gentlemen, all of those things i've been working on in the cases i've produced something historical to show the next generation who's involved with all the things that's going to effect them. i'm clearly here to say make an the amendment to all of the politicians policymakers and say that ace has been on the case

i'm going to deliver something to indicate that shows what's going on in the city which they say we're the leading city in the country but under the surface this is the city from the urban removal to this high tech they all come from the city and if you checkout the city they are around >> now at the top of happy somethings going on and it don't look sweet. >> thank you, mr. washington. any more speakers. okay. i'll close public comment any commissioners have any questions that will ask about the amendment >> first i'd like to thank you dr. espanola jackson for educating us and a couple of

questions for the star. how many people are working in our your organization and in lamar our nonprofit organization we have 8 board members and an administration assistant >> one person. >> so in the studio assimilate our person committed to doing much of the organizational administrative work she's the person that gets paid the board members don't get paid and i know we're not getting paid either. who is installing our solar system >> we don't know we've got bids if two companies red directorship is bayview hunters

point cap and luminal we've presented all did bids to lamar with pricing but, of course, since lamar is the contractor they'll choose. excuse me. i wanted to reemphasis the statement lamar does the design and a bid for a general contractor to do the construction of the artist building and they will the general contractor will select a interstate for the solar installation and we don't know >> how much rent for the units. >> the starting rent is estimated a dollar 11 per secret plus the square feet i know that kim has done the rent analysis

you can jot the numbers down but that's roughly the estimate. >> that's by month. >> yes. by month. >> and what's the square footage. >> it's 58 thousand square feet and 96 himself 98 gross excuse me. >> okay. >> thank you. commissioner mondejar >> yes. i have a question if you don't mind. how much money are you expecting to raise so the 5 artists who has indicated that they might not be able to afford the rent is there an approximate >> we've been planning we would like to double our take so

historically star lass has been able to raise we've netted 15 thousand and we've been 10 or $11,000 a year but we use that for our operating budget and support other local programs so your goal is to raise an additional 5 to $10,000 this year to use that as seed money so it gave us a curb on before the precedes from the savings and the solar kick in. >> so you don't know how much you'll need to submit device the artist rent. >> we don't know for sure based on phone calls and surveys every effort to determine who niece subsidy we've identified 5 artists if star subsidies hundreds percent of what they're paying today it will costs

$19,000 a year so our goal to make sure we have 19 thousand. >> i see thank you. >> sure. i had a quick question had you said that when the lease will be presented there's a change in circumstances i'm not sure what this is what timeline that could be >> and estimate to try to get an intent to lease closer to the start of construction for the artist studios i think that's. >> november. >> the middle have to early next year. >> okay. >> so the schedule a often depending on the construction process and yeah, so we think

2016 i meant 2016 that is when just before construction it is typical of new buildings. >> okay. so we'll have a better picture of what, you know, the delta if, if you will, between the number of artists and need and dollar value so to have time for fundraising >> yes. i don't know i know people's circumstances change. >> we'll also continuing our outreach to try - artists are like herod cats that's the people that have funny schedules we're continuing our outreach we want to be clear on the issue we're trying to nail it down the best we can we continue to talk to people and ask them to let us

know if things change so we're aware. we have the records they're quite good >> we'll keep ocii we'll keep annabel up to data on a weekly basis we appreciate the support we're getting and want ocii to know exactly what information we're getting. >> very good thank you. is there a motion? >> i have. >> another question. >> oh, yes. what others expenses you have other than those. we sponsor some programs we have an artist and residency program we support small education programs that are with schools and hunters point bayview hunters point last month we

spent $500 sponsoring summer camp to the xoofrm exploratorium for the day we have artists that work with the schools so when the schools are doing something you, you know, some special project they'll come to star generally through the avrts they're working with and we work with the artists in residency programs. most of our funds right now s are used for operating our paying our administration assistant but basically, we have $20,000 a year >> so you're the main person. >> partner. the main person in the organization >> yes. >> what's our annual budget. >> what we try not to go into

our saves it's $19,000 a year. we expect to increase this drastically as we build our programs initially we've been an advocacy program we're building our board and have brought on new board members that have you experience but fittings that's not been our focus. the other thing i want to see what the artists concerns are but the second phase of the art fund we'll have savings for the solar forever and once the artists that are being relocated are managed any additional funds will subsidies local bayview hunters point and hunters point artists so there's a community point we don't know the need

>> how many total artists. >> one hundred and 37 so it represents one hundred and thirty studios and that changes from day to day not the number of stoouz studios but the artists. well, i move. >> i second. >> no commissioner mondejar has moved forward and commissioner singh has second. >> commissioners. commissioner mondejar. commissioner singh. commissioner rosales. madam chair the vote is 3 i's. >> the matter has passed next. >> the next order of business is 5 c continually authorized the executive director to consent to the lease on, llc to california limited liability company and the historical

society a california nonprofit corporation consistent with an agreement for property at the 680 mission street former yerba buena project area d one discretion and action. madam director >> thank you madam secretary commissioners that came up in may before you and this consent to lease for the change for the california historical society. and at that time the commission had a number of questions related to the previous agreement that go back well over a decade that was recommended to the original developer for the paramount remain and commercial property and in light of the squeeze on nonprofit space citywide certainly, if anything

else can be done that is shard between h c s f and ocii we've worked diligently with city partners to come up with a creative solution that we believe addresses our concerns. with that, i'd like to ask christen the real estate specialist to walk you through the proposed issue. >> thank you director bohe and good afternoon, commissioners that is a continuation of a may 6, 2014, resolution commentating to a long term lease between third and mission and a affiliate of the california historical society or c h s for approximately 15

thousand square feet in the paramount on mission street. as a quick refresher the agency entered into the lease for a 4 hundred and 92 secret project on mission street this is bound by mission street and third and jessie and has the paramount immediately adjacent to that the california historical society and the backside along jessie street is where the hotel so it was completed in 2002 and consistent of a mixed use tower. the site as originally purchased

by itself agency with federal urban renewal you funds when it was sold the purchase price was denounced and has a nonprofit space specifically h s. in 2003, the developer entered into a lease with 15 thousand square feet which fulfilled the lda requirement to protect the project the lds has to get the consent of the tenancies or any lease termination. on may 6th the agency was asked to reduce the leased premises by 10 thousand square feet and allowed to lease the mandatory

to other yourselves this was all in exchange for the buy out price to be paid to ocii and another agency in installments. under this agreement ocii will receive a portion to recover the land use in 1999, for preserving the paramount space for c h s since that public benefit will no longer exist. as you see ocii portion equals $947,000 which represents 2/3rd's of the developers count in today's dollars that will be distributed beginning in january

of 2015 with a final payment of $197,000 in january 2018. once received ocii will transfer the money to the mayor's office of housing of office of economic workforce development or oewd that administers the money this is because the land sits with urban reluctant - renewal funds. the commission expressed the nonprofit dedicated space as a result, the staff vegdz the square feet relinquished could be used by another nonprofit. the staff determined the space was not suitable for the following reasons it's not accessible to the street so it

didn't have a dedicated entrance and two it is relating expensive toronto make it suitable for a nonprofit. for those commissioners would were not able to join us on the tour i've got a couple of pictures this is the paramount with the residential lobby that's how the nonprofit space is educated it didn't have its own entrance. and you can also see in the picture that immediately to the right of the paramount is the c h s space which is currently owns and the bottom image is the portion of the leased space. subsequence to the may 6th meeting to the nonprofit space in the jessie hotel on jessie street connected to the

paramount in addition to the payment of 2 hundred 25 million the terms of the traction are summarized the premise is 41 hundred usable square feet and the tenant will be the city acting by the department of real estate that will sub lease the premises through it's nonprofit stabilization program i'll explain in a moment. the term is approximately 8 seven years expiring in 20021 the rent is plus 6 there's socio square feet per year and finally the city as tenants will be responsible for all tenant improvements in the a space which is currently here. ocii intents to use the 9 had and $47,000 to fund the tenant

improvements through the nonprofit rent stabilization program. this slide shows you a couple of images of space that is being offered the picture on the adapt top left is the exterior of the jessie hotels and the blue doors provide access to the elevator and this is showing the exterior of one of the floors. now i'd like to tell you a little bit the nonprofit rent stabilization program it is approved by the board of supervisors in may to reduce the rapid rent and on the nonprofits in our agriculture fields the

board approved $89.9 million and $2 million to the san francisco art arts and culture organizations. the plan is for the funding to be awarded to intermediate nonprofits that will make sub grants for acquisitions and to provide technical assistance including the lease negotiation and recognition to 501 registered nonprofits and as i've mentioned the city's plan is to actually find a tenant and do the improvements through the stabilization program. and now is next steps. the terms that i outlined earlier are currently been incorporated into the jessie hotel and it's separate between the city and the developer it's anticipated that this lease will

2009 we began conversations with third and mission related to lease that portion back to them. by 2011 we arrived basically at the deal you see before you and embarked on negotiations with the city as the agency crisis will be rolled across the street we agreed to the repeal the evidence will show and agreed to the lease amount in 2011 and continue to cooperate with the ocii staff we are continuing to wait in hopes that this deal what move forward and the initial payment can, released to our nonprofits with the focus years to have this happen which you guess has caused significant
