1:30 am
was to lift everybody up. so, you know to our friends of lanar, i mean there is many projects that are going to come before us. i think you have a sense of what we are hoping for and what we would like to see because it's just not miguel sitting up here but it's so many people that deserve this and everything that comes along with it. so, you know, we are all very passionate about it, but that's because we are obligated to the people of san francisco. we don't get paid to be up here. we get paid to be a voice for the people and for those of us who have been around a long time we have heard a lot of people upset. we just want to make it right and that's the spirit in which i make my comments and
1:31 am
there is spirit in which i will vote for this phase. but knowing that there is more to it than this vote. there is a lot of expectation, a lot of obligations that we need to meet and a lot of you know again it's going back to just doing the right thing. that's all i'm asking. let's altogether do the right thing for people that we failed before. that's it. so i will move this motion. >> i second that. >> can i vote with contingent on receipt of all the reports that have been requested? >> amendment to the motion. >> because that's how i feel i should. i echo what commissioner bustos is saying. my role here is to really make sure that san franciscans don't leave the city and they have the
1:32 am
opportunity to take advantage of your beautiful units, but i just need an understanding of where we are going and where we are having and it's been a couple of years now and we are getting a lot of feedback and i really don't know what to say. i live in district 6 and i know what it's like. so if that's if my fellow commissioners are okay with it unless there is another way of maybe having action items on our, you know like a lot of these things. that's how -- i'm not against the project. i just want to make sure. i mean, god knows we need all the units that you can provide but also i would like to be able to say to the community that i represent of which you know i'm a neighborhood representative that i was appointed here to say yeah, you have an opportunity to take advantage and we are repeating out to you and this
1:33 am
is what our developers are doing, reaching out and talking that you at least have a crack at this. so that's how i would like to propose my vote. >> amendment, right? >> yes, if it's okay to amend that. >> i would have to approve the amendment. >> i think brian wants to say something. brian, do you want to say something? >> you want to understand how this works. >> exactly it's something we don't totally understand because we haven't been involved with the conversation. there are other phases to work with. right now we are talking about the first phase. hopefully we can get you the information before the second phase going forward and that would be the time. >> can you get us the information before the second phase? >> i would have to learn more. i don't
1:34 am
have the info that i needed to. >> it was my motion and if i may, madam chair you know, i think in all fairness this is the first time you are hearing a lot of this angst, and you know, i understand that and like i said, we believe in the overall project and we don't want to stop the project, but i hope that everybody including people listening hear what we are asking for. and with commissioner mondejar, i'm with you on that in terms of it's like almost what do you do? but i think, again going back in fairness, their # --
1:35 am
this is your first time hearing, you are getting the brunt of all this, right? so i would ask my fellow commissioners that we move this forward, but that you know what we are going to be asking for and i'm sure beyond the five other phases that lanar would want to do more business in san francisco. so, this is all on record. so i'm hoping that we could move this but be very clear with what commissioner mondejar and the rest of us are asking for. so again you are hear the the brunt of everything right now because it's the first time you are hearing it, but, just understand what we want and understand
1:36 am
the severity of us not getting a better understanding of what we want and if the spirit of what this project is about is not being met that we are prepared to stop. >> understood. >> again, thank you for being here. i know you almost had a heart attack right there. but just know what we want. >> absolutely. i just want to say thank you, i very much appreciate what you are asking for from the marketing standpoint and what we are doing for the community. we are going to make you happy, we are going to get you the marketing plan and we believe, the hope that the community has we want to make it a reality. we are on the same team as you and will work as hard to make this happen. we thank you for everything you said. i appreciate everything. >> thank you,
1:37 am
you withdraw your conditions knowing that we've asked our staff to ask our mou contractor, mayor's office of housing to come before us at our next meeting in 2 weeks to give us a verbal report of where we are in some of these issues. i think that gives us, obviously if there is something in writing before then. >> we are supposed to get it april 21st. >> that's the formal report. i'm talking about a verbal report sooner than that. >> hopefully next meeting. >> well, if we ask. >> i think what i heard the commissioners ask is you would like a verbal report at your next meeting as well as the standing item on every single calendar related to marketing, how are we doing overall, how are we doing at the shipyard. i heard the lanar representative say they are going to provide that information to you and the public and also i heard a
1:38 am

ayes. >> thank you. i look forward to the reports. >> thank you. >> please call the next item. >> the next order of business is 5d. conditionally authorizing the executive director to enter into a memorandum oomph agreement with the port of san francisco regarding terjs of ground leases in the former rn con point south beach redevelopment project area and providing that the port assume maintenance and operation of south beach harbor rincon park and other improvements subject to approval by the state lands commission the oversight board and california department of finance. madam director? >> thank you, madam secretary.
1:40 am
commissioners and thank you again to the members of the public who are joining us. commissioners, as you know -- dislugs back in 2012, we entered into arrangement with the ports leases for that process using tax increments for agreement to enter into that property. our work program is largely complete. we have been fantastically successful in creating a successful public improvement and mixed income housing program and now it's time to return the approved property and terminate the leases back to the port of san francisco. with that, we'll walk through a number of mou units and the port of san francisco are here as well. >> thank you, director bohee
1:41 am
and commissioners. i will be very brief in my presentation relying on the memo and we'll be happy to answer any questions and i'm very pleased to have from the port peter daily, john ooh! and lawrence brown and from the port now that are acting harbor master john borrow. as director bohee said it was the redevelopment agency would naturally go to the port since these are operations on portland and are not part of our obligation in terms of future development which is really what the success or agency needed to focus on. we have been working since then on a large number of issues to come to this point. i'm very glad to be here with an agreement that have been reached very cooperatively with the staff. as part of the agreement the port would take over some major liabilities with these
1:42 am
properties including responsibility for permit conditions that are still remaining from south beach harbor from the bay development commission and will work on that with the cdc for working with that and loans which are currently both of us the success or agency and the porter with the agreement with the respected consent of the port will be solely responsible for repaying those loans. as note, all of our employees at south beach harbor accepted the offer of city employment that was recently offered and so there are no longer, that became effective saturday february 28th. so ocie no longer has any employees at soutd beach harbor. this agreement has no real change to their terms and conditions of employment. and the tennants
1:43 am
at south beach harbor have been expecting this since their solution and they have been very regular monthly stakeholders meetings and the question is when is this going to happen, not whether this happened. so there is a lot of opportunity for public input on this from the stakeholders. these lease terminations were heard from the port commission in january and were acted upon in february unanimously and with no opposition at the port commission. the port commission was very complimentary of the staff in reaching this point. one of the things that did help as you may remember some time ago this commission was involved in raising birthing fees at the harbor and that allowed the harbor to get more stainable and the staff was comfortable that they knew how to move forward and they have reached that
1:44 am
level with the expected plans in increased fees. so the implementation of this agreement is conditional upon still. it won't come into effect immediately because it still requires oversight approval, department of finances approval and with the objectives of the redevelopment solution and redevelopment plan we don't anticipate any problems with further approvals. from the point of view of the subleaseholders, the port would assume the leases that we have with the subleaseholders and in the immediate term there will be no change who they pay their rent to and it will be up to the port when they handle those leases when the terms are up and it would no longer be our responsibility. with that, i
1:45 am

1:51 am
other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood.
1:52 am
>> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before.

1:59 am
the boundary and it has to affect bayview. the way it sits right now, we'll have two police stations. we have the southern and the bayview. the new southern station is just across the street from the at & t parking lot. no matter what the districts have to swing around to put that district in the bayview. the bayview station will have the same exact amount of officers and will have less area of responsibility depending on how the commission decides. that line in pencil is at 16th street but many people in the southern district have asked that the entire ucsf campus go into the southern so there is not a dividing line so that would put the
2:00 am
new northern border of bayview to the freeway. otherwise the good news for the bayview and there have been folks that advocated that there be no more of a change that that. that the border of the bayview at this point in time will find it's way to 16th street or to mariposa. for people here from other districts that might want to speak about what's going on with your border, the other greater change is the tenderloin district will go from just north of market street to a long district come across market street to almost mission street. right now the way it's drawn from third to van ness and the northern station
