2:31 pm
>> thank you chair farrell members of the committee. i am with the san francisco international airport. the next two items are similar to items you have seen recently where the airport is relocating current concessionaires to accommodate construction projects happening at the airport. this item, number 8, seeks your approval for the second amendment to our existing lease with bay port to relocate two willow creek concessions in terminal one and three. the board approved the first amendment to this lease in january of this year to replace a location in terminal three scheduled for demolition. staff has determined that willow creek's location in terminal one needs to be relocated to accommodate that renovation work and determined that the replacement premise approved in january in terminal three is no longer feasible so there is a
2:32 pm
relocation of that space as well. the airport commission approved replacement of these terminals for the willow creek concessions. a new term of the lease and adjusted mag from $127,465 and the space will increase under the proposed amendment and the lease termination date for terminal one, the location in terminal one will be extended by two years and six months. this success treated as an extension of the current lease rather than going through a competitive request for proposal process due to the irregular amount of time that would be involved we would have a hard time getting a new concessionaire to build on such a short lease. the term for the replacement premises for bay port will expire in january 2023 so the budget analyst office
2:33 pm
does recommend approval with the suggestion that the resolution be amended to take out any reference to the guarantee guarantee simply because that's not necessarily contemplated in the resolution as much as the change of location so it's a bit complicated but i am happy to answer any questions that you have. >> colleagues any questions? okay. mr. rose how about your report on item 8 please. >> yes mr. chairman and members of the committee on page 17 of the report we report that the airport estimates they will pay a percentage rate to the airport of 407,000-dollar. we do recommend that you amend the resolution and approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> thank you mr. rose. if no other questions we will move on to public comment. anyone to comment on item 8? seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] motion to send this forward. >> through the chair i make a
2:34 pm
motion to amend the resolution in reference to the budget analyst recommendation to delete the reference of the new mag and send with positive recommendation to the full board. >> okay. we have a motion by tang tangs. we will take that without objection. madam clerk can you call item 9. >> item 9 resolution for a lease with gotham enterprise and replacement leases for two years and the adjustments to the minimum annual guarantee of approximately 27,000. >> okay. thank you very much. ms. wagner. >> thank you last item. the airport is seeking your approval for an amendment with the current lease with gotham enterprise doing business as petes coffee and tea to authorize replacement premises for the current terminal one location and to extend the lease for this replacement facility through september of 2019. the
2:35 pm
terminal one redevelopment program requires the closure of gotham enterprise peter's coffee concessionaire and this terminal location is part of a lease that we have with goth ham that includes three locations. in april of this year the airport commission approved the placement in terminal one and extension of the lease term in the new location. this applies only to this one location, not the other two locations that are part of the lease and they will pay the airport minimum annual guarantee of $26,892 and/or whichever is greater and the airport treated this as an extension of the current lease rather than a new request for
2:36 pm
proposal for such a short amount of time and because it doesn't include provisions for the mag the budget analyst office has suggested doing this and if you agree i will get these amended this afternoon. >> okay. thank you ms. wagner. if no questions we will move on to santa rosa. your report on item 9. >> >> yes on page 20 of the report we report that the airport estimates that they will pay the amount listed in percentage rent to the airport in 2015. that is 921,000 more than the 2015 minimum annual guarantee of 126800. we recommend that you approve the resolution to delete adjustment to the reference of the minimum annual guarantee of $26,892 and approve the resolution as amended. >> thank you mr. rose.
2:37 pm
colleagues any questions. let's move on to public comment. anyone to comment on item 9? seeing none. public comment is now closed.

2:39 pm
of our report but based on 10,455 square feet and the cost of acquiring the easement is listed and funding was appropriated by the board of supervisors under the sfpuc water system improvement program. we recommend that you approve this resolution. >> okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions? we will move on to public comment. anyone wishing to comment on item 10? okay. seeing none. public comment is now closed. colleagues can i have a motion to move this forward. >> so moved. >> motion by supervisor tang. we can take it without objection. madam clerk call item 11. >> item 11 requisition of the real property at 490 south van ness, the purchase price of $18,500,000. >> okay. we have the mayor's

2:41 pm
environmentally remediated and ready for development of the site is titled for a 72 unit multi-family development containing over 90,000 square feet of condition space with ground floor commercial and vehicular parking and ample high school parking. this represents the best efforts of the city and chunt community and recognizeing sites inlet the community and to the mission and if sites are identified and are available they will move with maximum dexterity and urgency to take title of the project as soon as possible to create affordable housing in the neighborhood. this opportunity is unique given the fully entitled nature and have them thoughtfully to respond to the development on an
2:42 pm
expedited time line and serve low to moderate income households and 20% set aside for homeless families and with the city's goals of building out 30,000 units and a third being permanently affordable. the acquisition of this property is in addition to the pipeline in the neighborhood and they expect to close the transaction at the end of august and publish requests for proposals to procure a developer winter of this year. i would like to thank the city departments and the sellers and the community for having this transaction take place and reacting to the dynamics to produce desperately needed opportunities for our city and specifically the mission. this concludes my presentation. i am available for questions. i brought a rendering so you have an idea of

2:44 pm
market value is listed and as the department indicated we report on page 28 of the report that the purchase sale certifies that the purchase price will be reduced by a credit of 462500 the amount of the real estate transfer tax that would otherwise be due on the transaction and pursuant to the city's business and tax regulations code. that section specifically exempts payment of the transfer tax for the purchase of property property of the city and as a result the general fund will not receive the transfer tax revenues for this transaction so our recommendation on page 29 is we recommend that you amend the proposed resolution to specify the purchase price with a credit as listed to reflect the city's exemption of paying the city's
2:45 pm
real estate property transfer tax and result in adjusted city cost as listed and we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions for mr. rose or our team? okay. we will move on to public comment. anyone wish to comment on item 11? seeing none. public comment is now closed.

2:48 pm
consultant. initially we declare emergencies in july 2014 for the project for all three contracts, but it had to go through a negotiation process. for the construction contract we solicited nine contractors to look at the project. four of them provided a proposal. we negotiated with the contractor that had the lowest cost and also had 2lbe components to their construction contract. one of the construction consulting engineering contract as a result of an agreement with block 60 lot five and the property that stipulated we were to retain them for engineering support during construction. we notified the board of supervisors in march of 2015 initially and the reason was for that we had to make sure that the scope of the work because
2:49 pm
it's a telegraph hill rock slope improvement project a lot of the work was behind vej taifive areas that we are to remove to finalize the scope and then we submitted the documentation in june of 2015 towards the end of the project so i will take any questions. >> okay. colleagues any questions? okay. thank you very much. mr. rose can we go to your report? >> yes mr. chairman and members of committee. on page 33 of our report we have a table one which shows the three original contracts total listed. however all three contractors submitted change orders which were approved by dpw for the revised amount as listed on the actual expenditures that you see in
2:50 pm
that table are through june 30, 2015. on page 34 of our report we note that the director of public works declared an emergency in 2014 but the resolution approving the emergency determination was want submitted to the board of supervisors until one year later or specifically 346 days after the emergency was declared, and we note on page 35 that although a board of supervisors recently approved ordinances not yet effective it's significant to note that the proposed resolution was submitted 286 days in sceses excess of the 60 day limit pending before the board of supervisors. our recommendation is on page 35 and amend the proposed resolution to delete the incorrect contract amount as listed with cotton, shires and associates and add
2:51 pm
the correct amount as listed. we recommend that you delete the incorrect amount as listed with geostabilization international and add the correct amount as listed. we recommend that you amend the proposed resolution to delete the innot to exceed amount as listed with and add the not to exceed amount as listed and we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> okay. thank you mr. roases. i appreciate that. colleagues any questions for mr. rose? okay we will move on to public comment. anyone wishing to comment? okay. seeing none. public comment is now closed.

2:52 pm
>> i move that we approve the amendments and move it forward with a positive recommendation as amended. >> thank you very much supervisor mar. we have a motion and take that without objection. madam clerk can you call item 14. >> item 14 is approximately 4.2 million from permanent salaries and premium pay in the fridge departments in the sheriff's department and police department and public utilities commission and for the projected increases in overtime. >> thank you very much. we have ms. howard to speak on this item. >> good morning chair farrell and members of the committee. this item appropriates 4.2 dollars to over time and the same amount from premium and fringe benefits for the
2:53 pm
departments for 2014. i believe the clerk has provided to you an amended version of this legislation for 5.$03 million which is based on final fiscal year 14-15 costs. i believe that the budget analyst report reflects the amended version of this item. the three departments included in the supplemental appropriation and deappropriation need to shift straight time salaries to over time for a variety of reasons and including law enforcement presences required at events this year, over time for deputy sheriffs to complete training requirements and vacancies in the public utilities commission. the action is required as a result of the city's over time ordinance and requires eight departments including these three come before you to request the supplemental appropriation should over time spending in their departments exceed the
2:54 pm
budget. there is no general fund impact to this request because departments have sufficient salary premium pay and fringe benefit authorities in the budget. i am happy to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you ms. howard. colleagues any questions? mr. rose if we can go to your report. >> yes mr. chairman and members of the committee. on page 40 we have a chart and shows the funds and the department to be appropriated and use of funds to be reappropriated under the ordinance as listed for the amounts and we recommend that you approve this ordinance. >> okay thank you mr. rose. if no other questions or comments we will go to public comment. anyone wishing to comment on item 14? okay. seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] so colleagues could i have a motion to accept these amendments and then accept the underlying item as amended? >> so moved. >> motion by supervisor mar. we
2:55 pm
can take that without objection. [gavel] okay. thank you everybody. we have gotten to the two final items and the two hearings and madam clerk call item 15 first. >> item 15 is hearing between the department of the environment's landfill disposal agreement with recology san francisco for the board resolution no. 171-05 and including discussion of the terms of the agreement and support the zero waste goal and time line and request the department of the environment to report. >> okay thank you madam clerk so i know i see mr. rodriquez here and our director of the department of the environment to speak so this hearing. if there are any members of the public that wish to comment please fill out speaker cards. if not we will open it up when the hearing is concluded.
2:56 pm
2:57 pm
sure that we're clear and up front with the board about the change we are making in our contract language for this landfill agreement. i'm going to be speaking at a very high level but i have with me two of my colleagues, so if there's more specific questions if people want to dive in deeper we can certainly do that so i think it's important, and i don't know why there is -- [inaudible] okay. i'm sorry. i think it's important for you to understand when we as a department look at a landfill contract there are three standards that we're looking at no matter who we're awarding the contract to. number one the contract needs to be legally defensible and stand up in court and follow the rules and regulations of the city and seconds must be project of the environment and supportive of the zero waste goal. incredibly important to us as a department
2:58 pm
and as a city and thirdly the contract has to be cost effective. we need to protect the ratepayers to make sure they're getting the lowest cost and the best service. looking at the current landfill agreement why are we here today? we are here today because we're notifying you of a small contract change, but there's a much larger issue going on. in 1987 the city entered into a contract with waste management to dispose of our solid waste and at the landfill in alameda county. the contract for was for 15 million tons or 65 years whichever came sooner. we are expected to reach that amount by the end of the calendar year, the beginning of 2016. it's important to note that the cost of a landfill agreement isn't strictly off to the rate payers. we have in san francisco another process which is the rate
2:59 pm
process and that landfill amount is build into the overall garbage bill that the residents and businesses in san francisco pay. the important point is there lots of public interaction and public comment and time to weigh in as we look at our zero waste programs so just tracking the history of this landfill agreement. it started in neefn 87 and we started the process in 2007. in 2007 we held five public hearings to determine the guidelines for the process would be. in 2008 we did a competitive rfq process to look for qualified respondents. in 2009 we did a public rfp and got two bids and one from recology and one from waste management. we looked at other environmental
3:00 pm
factors which came out fairly evenly, but the thing that was very striking was the difference in cost which would translate to over $100 million for ratepayers over the lifetime of this contract. so recology was selected by the panel. lawsuits were filed. lawsuits were dismissed and over the course of the next four years the board repeatedly took a look at this contract. you held four hearings, two votes and after the hearings and the votes the board unanimously approve the process and said in fact recology was the qualified bidder for the contract. >> supervisor mar. >> i just wanted to ask you to slow down a minute and on the environmental benefits of the recology contract my recollection is the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions because of the green rail but with more
