pacific islanders coffee i knew him when we was working in a coffee store he was playing around with coffee but more than it's coffee growing up we didn't have money when the construction boom slowed down any mom would say can you go to thildz and get some coffee i didn't have the money to pay so phil give us credit so maybe next week there are a lot of businesses in the city that have been around a long, long time that has the center specialness that makes san francisco special i urge you working on this project to that about that you know, i figure it will do a lot of good for the people and

especially the people that survived; right? let's be honest >> anticipate maybe something as a commission and as an agency i've talked with the mayor about it and you know he thinks this is good so i think as a city family and as a community as and people that come and do business with us maybe we'll make a concerted effort for people that have been here a long time that's all i ask. >> commissioner mondejar yes this is great your proposal is exciting and wonderful by i was wondering if you've also you know as this context is developing you will be attracting a lot of families and

shoppers especially and there are other needs that have to be addressed and things like this a grocery maybe not a supermarket but a ribbon place of residence what about a fire station a police station a pharmacy and i notice there are medical clinics there decreases s are opening offices i have a friend that opened there a few years ago and she's on over accident weekend she wants to catch the families that go shopping over the weekend instead of taking time off during the week i hoping hope you'll consider as you plan

this beautiful historic place the needs of families are addressed so, yeah well, it seem like we have a response that's great. >> thank you and i think both of our questions and comments are similarly themed what i neglected to add we talked about the neighborhood serving did types of environment we focus a lot and in our business is creating authentic environments so speaking exactly to what you're saying and there's been discussion particularly other than the street an england son and humanitarian new is weaving into san francisco and while still serving other needs with groceries and pharmacy and things like that this is a focal

point and you'll are hearing more about that as we progress. >> that's great i would i don't know if it's a question for staff but an ad on to what supervisor miguel bustos we talk about as the project is ramping up right as the construction, etc. we haven't talked about what happens after so i was happy to hear, if you will, the host project completion, if you will workforce development idea of because i have that in my voting rights notes of hiring resident essentially that's a question of mine you know making sure that we deliver on the project i've heard the mayor say it to the neighborhood that you know being

blunt this is not the western edition so anything you can tells you at this stage about the post project workforce development idea or ideas. >> yes. there so as i said there's a 50 percent goal for temporary and permanent employees of folks that any development is creates those developments need to those to work with our office of economic workforce development to insure they have a hiring that i'm your relevant we haven't done this yet on the shipyard this will be a learning experience but oewd has done is we'll be working with the employment folks they have academy the hospitality

comedy that insures that people that have placed have the correct credentials to be proprietorly placed for employment a lot of success on market of the large success in terms of of folks being hired in place that came through oewd training and workforce plan and i think we can be successful if building on the successes they've already had. >> okay. that's great. >> high-end complex you know, i noticed bloomingdale and nordstrom's and i know their outlets oh, those are the outlets of bloomingdale and i was curious we have our san francisco kill roadways. >> i'm sorry to let our

developer partner answer the question for the target. >> i'm sorry i was looking at the photos there have a context in san diego i visited they had this multi cultural development or redevelopment areas where they had all those recommendation of the neighborhoods small boo technologies. >> my name is skip to answer our questions on the retailers it viewed into a broad diversity of projects so the the president we see for this sort of centerpiece of the neighborhood is not only where you get high end merchandise but things that are better priced it creates a

catalyst we hope for a vibrant growth of neighborhood serving both on humanitarian new and other areas dispetersburg streets around use it will create sort of a nexus and critical mass that we think will attract a lot of arrangements you've mentioned pharmacies and there will be hair and nail as long as and bars and restaurants you know a place where you can get a hotdog that's part of the neighborhood and that is how a feels based on the demand by the market and it also grows based on did demand by the customers that live there i remember that's the vision that's what we are trying to do. >> thank you i can't wait. >> yeah. so instead of going to

petaluma where i never go okay. great. thank you i don't have any other questions to you have any questions this is not an action item thank you very much oh, thank you we'll be talking some more and talking more please call the invocation item. >> the the next order of business is public comment on non-agenda items madam chair. >> do we have any speaker card for public comment. >> i have mr. oscar james. >> oscar james again what i came i've been talking to a lot of subcontractors some of them i grew up with by the way i used

to be a trucking contractor a lot of them are having problems that the general contractor in receiving their pay and some of the general contractors want to a pay their bills with the gender and take on their own responsibility to pay the vendorsism. >> uh-huh. >> so can you guys look at that to make sure some of the subcontractors who are under the general contractors receive all their monies so they can pay their own vendor and the problem with that is being a contractor before when you're not paying our own builds you have a problem of building our bond capacity you only fill our bond capacity by a contractor and you pa pay your bills and add on and buy more equipment and guarantees once you complete a

job you can go and do another job for example i had a contract another year in the late 70s in the portal station i was a contractor we did all our work and emigrate finished it ended up to be a million dollars additional we did the moscone center center trucking was my company we did a joined have you ever known and get finished with that project your bond capacity was 30 nature million dollars so each time you finish a job our bond capacity go up if i stayed in the trucking i'll bid on a contract and it could be guaranteed to be bid on my myself our company get a $3 million bond that makes you more independent so the

contractors have to have that obligation to when bethey bid on something a general contractor or bidder you go for a city contract he know you request do our due diligence to complete a job so it helps to become better a general contractor you take the baby steps and you can't do that with someone else paying our bills can you guys look at that to make sure that minority contractors are able to step out and become general contractors thank you very much. >> thank you okay. please call the next item. >> the the next order of business is item 67 report of the chair. >> i don't have is report. >> okay

the the next order of business is item 8 report to the chort. >> commissioners have a brief report i attended the grand press event for the ucsf medical center last thursday and commissioner mondejar was able to tend it was actually 3 hospitals cancer women and children and the first patient that were transported on sunday and it was immediate to the block killing more building that is sometime in the future checkout it out there are incredible facilities that are a great asset to the entire southeast that raise the quality of health care with the rewindshield of general and the

rebuild of st. luke's it raises the whole genocide there that concludes my report. >> the the next order of business is item 9 commissioners questions and matters madam chair. >> one comment i want to picking picking why back on who what director bohe said i was there i took a robotics tour with corin woods it was walling i didn't who we followed around we called him an elevator and to the nursing and told his to move away and yeah. it is beautiful i'm glad i took a tour they have the largest robotics in the u.s.

they'll be delivering food and meals and delivering laundry and things like that it was nice and the lighting was invites as you move along the lighting a changed that the haul and it was nice to get a robot to call the elevator for us i had only two kind of comments or questions for future consideration i'd be interested if having are workshop or an informal meeting obviously not with the form of the xhilths in addressing our sbe policy and how it should be shored up with the upcoming local business ordinance city passed in december but it's not effective i don't think nights july 1st i've been

hearing from contractor they think our policy is the same as the city's policy it is not currently it is slightly i i mean it's different but in terms of the policy it is not in sync and mr. washington's concerns i have a recollection we're to receive an update or have a followup workshop on the certificate of preference program i think that was a request before commissioner bustos joined united states but it's important to said how it's working i know at one point we were talking about or at least the mayor's office of housing was talking about a website e web based portal to make it

easier so get updates on that. >> we plan to privilege that in the next couple of meetings as part of our annual housing report and our staff is working with the staff to prepare as part of the commissions request i do know the web based portal is not quite up net certainly the city staff can provide the timing technical difficulties trying to make it as user-friendly as possible but we'll calendar that for commissioner consideration both items. >> thank you oh okay commissioner mondejar. >> just as some of you know i'm a domestic violence advocate we have a meeting at city hall on thursday on february 12th the one billion rising having

its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and

atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger mysterious mass.

>> the environmental artwork livens it with color light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the

exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck

sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's
