i'm very sensitive not to ask those questions but if it's an option, there would be no issue with that and obviously the zip code in the district. >> you can always run it against census population and you can collect the information or optional ethnicities might also give us more information about who your buyers are and who they are coming from and as a result of your own marketing efforts, did they receive ane blast or ad words or social media efforts that you make. that will be very entering. after all we are talking about a redevelopment project. >> absolutely. i'm happy to provide that for you. >> it helps us how effective this project, the efforts, the mayor's project about 30,000 by 2020,
8:31 am
right? that sort of thing to help us have informed decisions and informed projects that we are doing our job. >> absolutely. >> or you are doing your job. >> i think going forward we can change our guest cards and get that information. >> i think chair rosales has more questions. >> i think commissioner singh has questions. he needed to leave. i think this is a non-action item. we'll lose a quorum. we'll speed it up. the only question i had was basically on the lottery system. one of the things that i and you don't to have explain it now. i can wait for the answer but i would like to understand the lottery system and how it works because when i
8:32 am
saw this attachment 3 to the memo prepared by moh cd and it says the person that was lucky enough to pull the no. 1 spot, an african american individual, household of two was the way i read it ineligible because it was 112 percent. >> that was our cop holder. >> so i'm like, did they go through. exactly, i saw that as well. you are kidding, you know. that this individual went through i don't know what process to come out no. 1. it's like winning the lottery. and then say, oops, sorry. you don't get it. but you did mention and i was happy that hopefully there is another place for this family? >> yeah, we've reached out to
8:33 am
the household. we reconnected them with sfhdc. i had a conversation with her. she knew that she was over, but i think she still had a hope of getting into the shipyard and coming back to 91424 and let her know the options. we can't tell people not to apply and she went ahead and applied anyway and she knew she was over, but yes, they are on their one on one counseling session and with their lender. before they get to the lottery they sit with the counseling counselor and their income is calculated. we can't prevent people from putting their name in the bucket and formally reviewing. >> am i hearing you say that bayview was her no. 1 spot and like all the lotteries, that makes me more
8:34 am
upset actually because it's like what happens if she waits until the opportunity. does she stay, you don't have to answer any of these questions now. it seems to me that somebody who pulls from the lottery and who is a certificate of preference holders and because of the historical issue we talked about african american should basically be. >> we have other opportunities that are up to 120, but it might not be in her neighborhood of first choice. >> i know. >> the second option would be for her to explore purchasing a market rate unit with the shipyard which is up to $200,000. she would need to get with her lender and go over the numbers. i told her to talk with her lender and see if it's feasible. >> yeah, i'm just thinking if there is
8:35 am
another opportunity, bmr opportunity of 120 percent at the pipe lean at the hunters point shipyard, that first place ranking counts but it sounds like she doesn't. she still has to compete. >> she'll always have the cop preference. >> she may not come no. 1. >> it's a gamble, it's lottery. the bayview hunters point certificate does bump her up out of all certificate holders. >> okay, because we are going to lose a quorum if we don't wrap it up. maybe this needs it's own workshop. it seems that somebody, okay grant it she knew she was probably beyond the 80 percent and tried for it anyway. it seems like that's taking a risk. i don't understand how someone at 80
8:36 am
percent who is at 112 percent is not going to qualify. >> commissioner rosales, i just want to make 2 points. you just approved block 48 which has the median income units. in the meantime the dow program, they were referred to that community organization working with them on other, there are other projects in bayview that might be interesting to her as well. we are trying to work with them. >> don't let them get away. >> they are working with them. the cbo's that's what they do. that's the key to it. >> there are also other units but you have to snag them where they are. but yeah. i see your point. >> my other point, am i reading this right the no. 3 -person of the
8:37 am
lottery, latino individual, single family, one member, him or herself, but was an ellis act and only one spot there and that person got it. >> yeah. >> do we know if that person was in the ellis act mission oovment she was on york. >> that's an example of it working right. >> we'll get into more detail on the lottery on april 21st when we come back with the citywide report. so i will be sure to include that information. >> when is that going to happen? >> april 21st, at the commission. >> so the only, unless you have a question? >> no, you answered all the questions. this 750 cob is active list?
8:38 am
>> active, yes. >> you have the names and address of them? >> yes. to clarifying that we do paper mailing and we are looking into post cards. if mail is returned we follow up with the household and that's a way of knowing maybe we need to get a new address or call the number. we do track folks down if the mail goes out and the mail is returned. >> it was very good information you did. wonderful job. >> thank you. >> okay, the last question, what about social media. i understand that social media get it, understand it. lived it. what i call 21st century approach in marketing. i'm not getting the same impression. >> when we launch dahlia we are
8:39 am
going to get them set up on the digital age for those who might be a little older an bring them in and also looking into collecting e-mail addresses as well and bringing that into the mix so that we could not only do mailings, but put the digital word out if they are not already on the e-mail alert system. as we go into dahlia we are looking into getting more technology savvy with our cop. >> i would invite you to texting. my family's farm in nicaragua do texting. >> most people have a phone. >> exactly. >> without the keyboard. >> it doesn't have to be a smartphone.
8:40 am
>> i have a question. you said you have 750 active cop holders? >> correct. >> don't we have more issued but not been able to track them and there was a non-profit group that is actually looking for them. i'm sorry. >> i know we'll report on this next time, but there are more than the 750 that have been issued. however there are 750 active people to keep in contact back and forth. >> do you have a number? >> there were 6,000. >> okay. that's what i thought from a previous. >> i promise we'll give you more information soon. >> 24th century. bill -- you will be surprised. >> we can learn from each other. >> thank you very much.
8:41 am
>> okay. that was great. thank you. commissioner bust os will have fun reading the minutes. >> all right. can we call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 6. public comment on non-agenda items. >> public comment? >> i have been waiting very patiently. you can give me my kudos. first of all i just wanted to let you know before this team leaves i would like to say i will talk to you and lanar about doing a special since you talked about social media starting with thor to interview about his dealings with the whole southeast and going down to lanar and the rest of the people and put a profile and do the social media and know who the people are, who the redevelopment are and who the
8:42 am
developers are. i can sit down and talk to you. we can talk about the new era. my name is ace and still on the case is. i have taken the luxury of taking pictures of you all and i will put something together for you all also that will be very historical. >> will you make us look young. >> meanwhile i'm talking about the western edition and let me just tell you what i have been doing. i have contacted the rops lady. ms. watts and we talked briefly and i plan to meet with her and i plan to go to the governor and tell him i have
8:43 am
full support of the commission. even though governor brown knows or he probably don't know what happened to the fillmore and tell him we are working collectively on that. my name is ace and i'm on this case. i appreciate all of your items here starting from the garage all the way to the heritage center. i would like to help sponsor or put the community on notice. but you must give me at least a couple weeks notice. i will try to make this the biggest meeting ever because this will deal with the past and present and where we are going in the future. i think this will be a great thing that all of our residents have been looking for as we walk down fillmore, it's not fillmore anymore. i call it the feel no more. basically, yours truly ace washington i have been working
8:44 am
tirelessly gathering information. i will be putting it together. i might have oprah winfrey come get me to talk about this conspiracy. i'm excited if you can give me your directors report and let me know what timeframe that it might be in may. that's okay. i just want to make sure the former redevelopment cii is coming to the western edition. hallelujah!. i'm so happy. >> thank you. >> we had a group of contract of professional services form. we are working out of the shipyard. we just wanted to let you know we thank the agency, we thank the staff and we thank the developer because there are major
8:45 am
things going on on the ground and people are developing businesses and all of us are hiring from the community and most of us are working so we don't get to come to this room and articulate to you that there is a balance and there is some real positive things going on out there in the tunes of millions of millions of dollars. so great job. keep everybody's foot to the ground to hold them account automobile. -- accountable. it's really rewarding to see the kind of impact going on. i'm not just talking about job opportunity or just contract opportunities but the entire collaboration of everybody working out there on the same page moving forward. there are a few people that is always going to say a few negative things. that is life, the reality is looking at the
8:46 am
results and at the companies like myself and my family and how it's impacting the community and buildings a confidence and positive flow of things. keep that in mind. i would say take a meeting one day and have it out there in the shipyard at this time of the day. an activity and energy and what's happening, you will be overwhelmed by this. that's what's going on right now. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners, my name is guy hollins representing hollins consulting management in san francisco many born and raised in san francisco. very proud to have been on my own with this company for seven years and also very proud to say that lanar has been a client of mine over a year and it wasn't until lanar to have my business
8:47 am
and hire people from san francisco to get them working in the construction industry and start to mentor the people and get that next generation of folks in the business. i'm just getting that out there in terms of a real success story and looking forward to aumont great stuff that is going to come from your oversight and their commission and the work they are doing in the rest of the community. thank you. >> thank you very much. okay, no more cards. okay, next item, please. >> city clerk: the next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. >> i have no report. >> okay, the next order of business is item 8. report of the executive director. >> for the commissioners and members of the public we have two workshops in april to covering the major approved
8:48 am
projects, hunters point and affordable housing obligation in those and the second meeting in april we'll cover everything else, the assets that are lingering in western edition, our administration, the other scope of work outside the major approved with consideration of the full budget at the first meeting in may. there is a lot of other item that will be on the calendar but we are really drilling down to budget in april. >> i need to ask if there is a member of the public who will comment on the report of the executive director. were you interested in saying something? the public comment? that's okay. if you want to say public comment, c'mon. i closed it. mr. norman, right. i think you can come up if you are interested in saying something. >> related enough to our money
8:49 am
situation, i'm sure. >> i'm sorry i got passed over. but we really do appreciate all the work that you all do up here. like he was saying, because of you and what you stand for there is a lot of contractors, a lot of consultants and a lot of everybody getting work out there who never had the opportunities that lanar has brought to the table. i'm sure that you are going to have a lot of people saying different things because they don't go to the meetings to find out about the different opportunities that are before them. if you are not there to find out or if you don't receive the flyer or you don't hear word of mouth from the people who have benefited from this program, quite frankly you are going to get passed over. it's not in item. you have to --
8:50 am
intentional. you have to be at the right place and the right time to receive the information. with the flyers, we never had a long program for minority contractors for hiring the enterpriseers. we never had a lot of things. it's because of your efforts that we are able to have an opportunity to realize and experience the different things like that that we've always asked for over the years and only since you have been sitting down here doing the job that you do and with the developers help, we have been able to realize the experience of being able to get a construction loan to finance our project and do the things that a real contractor which we've all been trying to do for years can do. so i thank you and thank you for giving me the at some point to speak on behalf of enterprise, lanar, this agency and all of you commissioners. thank you and we appreciate all your efforts.
8:51 am

8:53 am
museum in san francisco in that is a interpretation thing (clapping.) and i know that particularly for the people that worked on this this is a historic moment in making move after move to get this done why well i think our art commission dposhg will tell you and i'm confirm that the art for the city generates one possess $7 million in tourism in the city so this is some serious financial revenues that all our museums put together we know the power of our culture orchards and i know this location is significant because. our art history is derived from
8:54 am
the yerba buena center so we have this opportunity where the developer who's developing new believes is going to be contributed significant amount, in fact, i think that is $25 million for the core itself shawn and i want to say a gesture of appreciation to the millennium partners to compliment what the community and what the brooufts has been working towards for many, many years it's not easy anyone that studies this effort about actual off the bat it is around for a number of years thing for strong steady leadership we're able to be here and the board of supervisors through commissioner avalos and supervisor campos and supervisor mike wasserman and so many others are been consistently wanting to make sure it gets done and it
8:55 am
shouldn't be a surprise to have developers that want to get it done as well they see this as a tremendous asset so i have a joke also, because this is one of the inexpensive leases i'm signing a dollars a year for 99 years you you know given the accept of real estate in the city you've got to appreciate that that's the eir i didn't have all eir i didn't see (clapping) but we were beginning to get a glimpse and today, the glimpse is we'll elsewhere have a smithsonian memory of all our history museums that will be reflected lessor because the mexico museum established that 3 years ago we wouldn't have done that without knowing there's an
8:56 am
incredible collection we're all just anxious to see dated for years to come not only for our residents and international visitors to see that compliments so much of the art organization we've been to establish for the neighborhood center this is droog going to drive our economic locally i want to say thank you because your national black anthem culture of the city is also going to be honored in a trumgs way this is no longer on the great museums we already have established that but for our city's history to have the establishment of the mexican museum part of our history this is important for many, many reaps we honor our community for
