showed me people are taking there and 928 people at san francisco state. they have pages of people that died with the jones town looking for a place to have housing and build and live comfortably who left san francisco around jim jones. most people think jim jones was a chinese man and most people were african-american and we never talk about that. nine days later killing them at mo connie and mill and we never talk about those people and we're ailing and suffering through that right now. san francisco must -- it used to be said in the lobby. san francisco must take care of the individuals. that's why that bridge willie brown is there. san francisco had the investment to really make sure that this city is really what america is supposed to be. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker

cards. no they're deferred. they didn't waive. >> okay. >> good afternoon. i am with local 21. i am try to keep this brief. i'm the union rep for project managers, housing specialists, contract compliance officers, engineers, all the folks you see before you who help make these redevelopment projects possible, and as you know since 2012 it's been a very difficult time for the former agency. both local 21 and seiu have been in difficult discussions with the city and county of san francisco and ocii. the good news is that in november proposition d passed. and that granted former redevelopment employees city benefits and the majority of voters in san francisco supported that, so this is kind of representing a turning point

in union management and relations, and it's given clarification to all of the uncertainty created by the state when they eliminated redevelopment so we're working with the city and county on a transition of employment for our members who want to continue to work on redevelopment projects but as employees of the city and not ocii employees. however, under prop d that transition must take place before march 1 and that means we need to have settlements with ocii and with the city and county of san francisco as soon as possible, the real deadlines here that are critical so the union anticipates u.s. commissioners do not want to be responsible for torpedoing the settlements and with ocii. right now some of the proposals on the table

and made two years ago almost by a different team, from a different employer include some examples of taking away the fundamental right of a union member to honor another sanction line. asking them to pay dramatically more in health care, $200 more a month and pensions towards their pensions which they already pay seven and a half percent and that would erode the delayed 6% raises proposed and that all city employees have received already and these former rda employees didn't receive and working without, so we know that all these employees have been through a lot of hardship and uncertainty in the past years. we think now is not the time to take advantage of them so please we ask you to instruct your bargaining team to work with the team on a settlement that is

fair and members working without a contract for years by no fault of their own. thank you. >> thank you. call the next card. >> the last is peter massur. >> good afternoon. i am the union rep for seiu 1021 and the beauty of following alex i don't have to go over the same details and he captures it and to reiterate when the voters approved prop d they support the idea of the workers moving over to city employment but as with everything comes with time lines that have to be followed and then we find ourselves in a situation where we need these workers to move over seamlessly and update component of that is

wrapping up this contract now that has been -- these folks have been working without a contract for several years now and we want to make sure as alex said we do that in a fair and amicable way, in a way that understands and respects the time limits but doesn't try to extract concessions based on the time limits. i know you're going into a closed session with the bargaining team and i want you to reiterate to them we want to make sure that the process happens smoothly and seamlessly for the workers and the frustrating situation they have been put in over the years and having questions. thank you. >> thank you very much. public comment is closed. please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 7, report of the chair.

>> i have no report. next item please. >> the next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director. executive director. >> i actually have no report at this time. >> okay. please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 9 commissioners questions and matters. madam chair. >> yes. do any of the commissioners have a question or matter? commissioner mondejar. >> yes. i just wanted to find out what we ask do -- i mean we had a group from the western edition that were raising all these questions, requests. what is our authority or our what we can do as the current commission now since we don't have any projects there really? i mean is it something that tiffany you could respond to? >> sure. i can -- >> briefly i think.

>> because it's not calendared commissioners the former redevelopment agency issued loans using tax dollars along the fillmore corridor including yoshi's and the number of loans. when the redevelopment agency was dissolved they were assets, property or debts in the case of the fillmore center and still belong -- assets of the former redevelopment agency and transitioned to the assets of ocii. we continue to enforce our agreements and working collectively over the past several years with each of those tenants along the fillmore street corridor to make sure that those businesses can continue while we protect the public investment. we issued a very detailed informational memorandum on the fillmore street corridor loans and

assets in september of 2013. last year -- on a status of all of those. we have also discussed in open session through the budget process work outs. a number of businesses have filed for bankruptcy including yoshi's and there were agreements with them as well as the other loan recipients, rossla's was settled et cetera so we can bring back an memorandum or materials to respond to any questions that commissioners or the members of the public would have. >> yes. before i begin commissioner bustos would you like to state anything? >> [inaudible] >> i would like to request that the informational memo that you referenced be redistributed to the commissioners. commissioner singh is not here but i would also like to

request the scheduling of a special meeting in the western edition a special meeting focused on these topics, so that we can have a forum in the community to understand kind of what not just the commentary we received here and previously but also understand some of the concerns, the challenges from the community side, so we can also provide information about some of the topics that you referred to, and i don't know when we can do that but i suggest it be as soon as possible. >> [inaudible] >> excuse me sir. the matter is with the commission. >> i just wanted to thank you for doing that madam chair because i think it's important,

and as you talked about development, redevelopment was created to benefit the community. i think at the time redevelopment -- i think the opposite. i think it was a systematic way to get rid of a certain population in the city and i think justin herman was adamant about that. i don't know why we have that plaza named after him about that's a whole another matter but i think what you see up here is are people who are trying to right the wrong of what redevelopment did during those times 40 years ago, and we are not perfect, but our goal is to do that, and i think that's why you hear a lot of us talk about having things in the community, having opportunities for people to have

these jobs, and having some of the small businesses and the professional services come from local people, so know it's not lots on us. we were appointed by the mayor because of that. we know the bad history of redevelopment in the city. i can say this probably collectively our commitment is to undo the wrongs that were done as much as we can yet we need to do it together, so it's those of us, and those of you in the community that will help us succeed in that effort, so i just wanted to make sure that you knew that mr. aris so when you're in the community we understand and want to fix things and make it right so we can get to the point where redevelopment does benefit the

community; right? we vote on a lot of things but the question i have in my mind is who are we voting for? for who? so we appreciate you. we appreciate everybody that came to speak about this today. thank you. >> thank you. okay. next -- call the next item please. >> the next order of business is item 10 closed session. madam chair. >> yes. i'm going to need to ask anyone not directly involved in this item to please leave the room because the commission is going into closed session and i'm going to make the announcement to confer with labor negotiators pursuant to government code 5495 7.6 to confer with the reamgdzs and the representatives are tiffany bohee, jim morales, leo

levenson, geoff rothman, jeff sloan. i don't see charles sakai and april ward. >> [inaudible] >> we're on. at least our pictures are on. >> it's almost ready. >> okay. >> now you're getting spoiled. >> i know. >> [inaudible]
