bay south center [inaudible] redevelopment project area, discussion and action resolution 682014. madam director. >> thank you madam secretary, commissioners and welcome to the members of the publing. thank you so much for joibing us. as you know, your former colleague, commissioner theodore ellington served as one of the founding members of the commission and he served since inception in december of 2012 through july 3, 2014, when he tendered his resignation to the mayor's office. during that time mr. ellington participated in a number of actions that are related to the mission bay south participation agreement implementation actions under that agreement, that is the approval of various for turned mission bay south

own r par tisation agreement, your purchasing policy, which you have a clean and amended copy now actually on hand, does prohibit any agency employee, including former commissioners from working on matters in which the commissioner or employee had a direct and substantial interest, and in which that former employee or commissioner participated personally and substantially. and as a result of that, mr. ellington, who has now resigned from the commission, he has moved on to work for the golden state warriors as their director of public affairs.

and it is because that -- there is no direct and substantial interest. we do not see any undue influence, there is no conflict in staff's analysis and view, which is why we do recommend that the commission grant a waiver for mr. ellington's activities and his work with the warriors. that concludes my presentation and you see that mr. ellington is in the audience as well to answer any questions. >> thank you. before we hear from former commissioner ellington, madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards. >> we have no speaker cards. >> mr. ellington, welcome.

>> yes, it is different from this side of the podium, but thank you guys so much for having me. director bohi, madam chair rosales and commissioners, i'm just excited about this new opportunity that's before me. it's kind of bittersweet because i know a lot of the work we've done formally was very important to san francisco, whether it be affordable housing or improving the quality of life, just important work that i think, you know, i'm kind of sad to not be able to do in the same capacity. however, i am definitely looking to working for the warriors as a director of public affairs and continuing the amazing work in mission bay that we all started so i hope you guys grant me the waiver and can definitely look forward to working with each of you as we move forward.

. >> thank you. are there any questions for there ellington? >> you know, we had a happy and a sad, you know -- we -- [inaudible] is going to leave us that soon, but i'm very happy for him, you know. so... >> i don't know mr. ellington. [laughter] >> you didn't say good-bye and it's important to maintain relationships with your former commissioners, so -- >> absolutely. no, there was -- in all transparency, there was a quick turn around. i had to hop on an opportunity that presented itself. i didn't want to break any policy that's set forth so i didn't want to go behind closed doors and communicate with commissioners and undue unfluns. didn't want that to come into question so --

>> i do wish, you know, good luck with your new job. >> thank you. >> i was just trying to give you a hard time. [laughter] you didn't say good-bye to us. >> yes, and i would add that the commission went on a diet, as you can see because there are no longer five, there's only three of us, and as a result having meetings is difficult at times because we have to coordinate schedules, but i will miss you as a commissioner but i will congratulate you on your work with the warriors. you did a fantastic job. >> thank you. >> we have in front of us, a resolution where we would be consenting to allowing former commission, theodore ellington to work with the golden gate

warrior regarding an arena and event center, which is in mission bay, a project within our jurisdiction. do i hear a motion? >> i don't know what -- i second that. >> so it's been moved and seconded. >> i do have a comment. i know that our personnel policy that we just approved and acted upon on consent has this two year, what i call revolving door provision that disallows appearance before us by a -- in this case a former commissioner for a period of two years. my understanding is that the city's program -- or the city's policy, similar policy a one year revolving door limitation and i would like us to look into -- we will -- i mean, i

support this resolution, but i think i'd like to see us line up, you know, our revolving door policy essentially with the city's. i think it's as bit draconian to have a two year prohibition, so that's something we can put on for another meeting, i presume. >> yes, we'd like to do some due diligence under the city's policy and compare the two and it might be that one of those options, if we notice other discrepancies or differences, certainly one of the options for the commission, you could in essence harmonize the policies and adopt the city's policy, but not the administrative procedures because it's governed by a separate commission. i think we can present some options to you. >> great. >> are there -- can i ask? >> absolutely. >> are there situations where former commissioner ellington will be appearing before us?

as director of public affairs. i assume there would be. >> certainly. there's been a motion and a second. please call roll. >> please announce your vote. commissioner mondejar. >> yes. >> commissioner singh. >> yes. >> madam chairperson rosales. >> yes. >> the vote is three is. >> thank you. . please call the next item. >> 5f, theodore ellington as commissioner of the commission on community investment and infrastructure. discussion and action, resolution number 692014. madam director. >> commissioners, i'm very pleased to bring this proposed resolution before you for your consideration. as you know, mr. ellington, former commissioner ellington was a founding member and along with you and former

commissioner johnson really jumped into and the details on the policy and helping communities, not only with job opportunities through your policies, but with affordable housing opportunities and continuing to right the wrongs of past actions of the former redevelopment agencies and the like. i too am sorry to see mr. ellington go and glad he's bringing that same lens to his new opportunities. with the commission's permission i'd actually like to read the resolution into the record, if i may. >> yes. absolutely. >> okay, great. be whereas on november 20, 2012, san francisco mayor, ed win m lee appointed mr. ellington as one of the founding members on the commission of community investment and infrastructure.

he has served as the successor agency to the san francisco redevelopment agency of promoting community, economic and physical development in blighted neighborhoods and whereas during his tenure, mr. ellington has supported and the commission has approved numerous actions to implement ocii's enforceable obligations which will result in the improvement of the economic vitality, urban landscape, affordable housing opportunities and quality of life in san francisco. with his oversight and approval, ocii has taken actions related to the active development in the hunters point shipyard and candle stick point, mission bay and project areas, along with assets in the yurba bu and whereas the commissioner of the commission that was created

following the dissolution of the san francisco redevelopment agency, mr. ellington approved the numerous actions ocii undertook related to the disillusion of the former agency, including the approval of multiple amendments to enforceable obligations that created benefits for the taxing entities for the city of san francisco, of two due diligence reviews for both housing and non housing assets which allowed ocii to review a finding of completion, the long rang property management plan, the confirmation of housing assets transferred to the city and three, recognized obligation payment schedules. and whereas he has worked to

ensure that ocii contracting, hiring and affording housing opportunities are successfully marketed to all disadvantaged persons, businesses, contractors and the diverse communities of san francisco. in particular, mr. ellington has been a strong supporter of ocii's efforts to provide affordable housing opportunities to members of low income house holds who were

displaced and were eligible to revooef housing preferences through ocii's certificate preference program. on behalf of our executive director and employees, and by this resolution, expresses to mr. ellington its appreciation of work well done, its thanks for dedicated public service and its sincere wish for his success in all his future endeavors. >> very nice. thank you. madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards? >> we have one, antonio elmo mimms.

>> speaking on the infrastructure what's going on in district 12, which is my district. i want to make sure we remember all the populations, like, if you're alive i feel like you have the right to hear about and know exactly what's going on, in which -- how it effects not only -- not only how it effects you, but how it's contributed towards the demise, because we are still poverty stricken in the bay view hunters point. no more smoke screens as far as commercial development and as far as so called low income development. we still have a population that's beneath low income that no one pays attention to because maybe they don't vote, maybe they have a criminal record. so we're kind of standing on their backs with everything

we're doing. not me, but you're standing on their backs with what you're doing if they can't hear what you're doing because a lot of the ideas and the creativity stems from their struggle not their vocalized struggle because they can't hear what's going on. they don't know what's happening to them and i feel like as a body or community leaders you need to be responsible to hold the entities who are contributing to this impoverished state that we live. we can pretend like there's no development or we can go out identify and interrupt business as usual.

we can -- you know what i'm saying -- intercept contracts. we can do a lot . i can and you can. i'm doing as much as i can with my time and my hands and my time and availability and my life and my struggles, so let's angle our struggles towards those who truly, truly need them. san francisco as a credible city don't need anymore pumping up. we need to start from beneath the bottom to rise upward. and i just hope everyone in the room hears me. not just this body, but also the black, brown, yellow, white, red , everyone. i need the sky to hear me. it's a lot going on under the sun. my mama gone, but there's a lot of new things going on under

the sun that we need to educate people on. >> thank you. >> no other speaker cards. >> no other speaker cards? okay. we will close public comment unless anyone else would like to provide comments on our commendation of former commissioner ellington. do i have any questions by commissioners? >> i move. >> moved by commissioner ink. >> i second, i think. [laughter] >> moved d and seconded. >> commissioner mondejar. >> yes. >> singh. >> yes. >> rosales. >> yes. >> the vote is three is. >> thank you. thank you.

[applause] >> i think we're doing to do a -- >> are we doing the photo op? you're perfectly attired.

okay, so now to business -- more business i should say please call the next item. >> items 5g and h will be presented together, but acted on separately. item 5g, authorizing a loan agreement with mercy housing a

california limited partnership in an amount of 3,382,000 for affordable housing units at 222 beale street on transbay block 7 pursuant to the california environmental quality act. and item 5h, approving a revision to the transbay block 7 schematic design package originally approved by the commission on april 16, 2013, to reorganize some of the ground floor uses to create building efficiencies and increase from 77 to 85 units and making environmental findings pursuant to the california environmental quality act, trab redevelopment project area, discussion and action, resolution number 712014.

madam director. >> thank you. commissioners, as you know in the transbay district where you have land use, contract and design authority, the transbay district has requirement for 35% affordable housing. the bulk of the low income housing will be provided on state parcels that -- the net proceeds of which actually go towards that big hole in the ground, the terminal, the transit terminal, but landfill proceeds actually help to subsidize the landfill parcels. what you have before you are two separate actions in transbay really that are an implementation of your overall mission and goals for the transbay district and a continuation of the actions you took last year related to transbay blocks 6 and 7. with that, i'd like to ask elizabeth
