tv Police Commission 101415 SFGTV October 22, 2015 7:00am-9:01am PDT
7:00 am
our files to see if i can find a more extensive analysis of some of the thinking that went into the conclusions to not include it in the land use plan for the future of treasure island. we certainly -- i have a long history in my career of working with the san francisco fire department, and understand the important role that the fire training facility plays in the department's programs, and i look forward to working with them and the department of real-estate as appropriate to evaluate potential future sites for the fire training facility or for its potential continued presence on treasure island. if the continued use of the navy facility has been viewed largely as an interim use, since the base was closed, and so moving forward, we would need to do a full environmental
7:01 am
analysis for either continued operation of an existing or rehabilitated facility or a new facility on treasure island and recommend that be treated as a distinct project rather than reevaluating our program. but understand the role that the facility plays and the need for such a facility and we look forward to working with the fire department and the city to do that evaluation. >> so there anything in the agreement with the navy that prohibits tita from allowing the training facility to remain at its current location? >> there's nothing in the agreement with the navy that would prohibit the facility from continuing, but the adopted development plan for treasure island and the land use for treasure island did not anticipate the fire training
7:02 am
facility and so its continued operation as a permanent facility and function would need to undergo environmental evaluation. >> and it would be something that the tita board would need to approve, not necessarily anything else? >> it would need to be approved by the tita board and it would need to be approved by the board of supervisor and we need to evaluate it. >> we could run into some challenges with that. >> yeah, there are certainly a number of complex issues that we need to -- would need to be evaluated that would be you know, potentially significant hurtles to continue operations on they land in a permanent
7:03 am
function. >> i don't recall in the initial discussions the -- i vaguely recall the fire training facility being considered more long term, so i guess i'm just trying to understand what happened that took it out of the mix as more of a permanent location. i know for example, the brig and the police academy and other discussions around other city department zs -- and those were moved out of the fix, but i wasn't under the impression -- the fire training academy was supposed to be considered long term. >> that's apart of the area i'm still investigating. you know the treasure island department program underwent a lengthy planning process between the
7:04 am
time that the base was identified for closure and ultimately closed in the time that the land use -- the dir and the land use plan was adopted in 2011. and were in that timeline the decision -- and where in that timeline it wasn't including the timeline -- and the basis of that decision is something i'm researching. >> i would say things change. it has been going on for many, many years, trying to move treasure island forward in a certain direction, developing housing and parkland, and in the meantime, i know there's a lot of empty spaces and spaces that can and can't be used, but i'm very familiar with the fire training academy, and this is one of those particular spaces that i think is being used well
7:05 am
and serves the city well. i think when things like this happen and things change, we ought to adjust to those changes, and so i would definitely like for tita to really do whatever it can to try and keep the training facility at this location permanently. if that's a possibility to work on a level of agreement that could lead to that. it's important for our city. our city is growing, and i'm not suggesting that treasure island to bear the blunt of this growth, but treasure island is apart of the city. tita is apart of the city and sometimes decisions need to be made to make adjustments when we need space for a purpose of this nature, which is a real public safety issue, so i would strongly suggest that we really explore this and try to come up with something a lot more permanent so we don't find ourselves in
7:06 am
the situation where the development is happening and we're out luck and facility closes down and we're trying to figure out what we're going to do. this could impact the quality of life, not just residents all over the city, but those residents who live on treasure island because we need a place like this to train our work force. we're growing and we're going to be hiring more firefighter and we need the space to train them and this is an important part of that. i'm hopeful that could be taken into consideration with the tita board and i'm hopeful the mayor's office is heavily involved in this as well in trying to get us moving in the right direction. >> yeah. well, we certainly, you know, this is a very good time for us to be having this conversation. we're beginning the development effort now. and we have about 7 years or
7:07 am
potentially more before the existing site would be affected by development. so we do have a window of opportunity here to evaluate whether continued presence on treasure island is viable, and if not, what i'll alternative locations might be, and where we might be able to secure a site that we'll be able to support such a facility. it is a -- we look forward to working with the fire department and the city, the department of real-estate and the planning department on that evaluation effort. >> i can speak for -- i'm only speaking for myself, but as a member of the board, if there were approvals that were required of me that involved the development and the property and didn't involve a well-thought out plan that would allow for permanent location department, i'm not certain i would be supportive
7:08 am
of that plan, so i want to put that out there moving forward, so hopefully something can be done. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> yep. >> thank you, mr. becon. >> i concur with supervise breed on this position. i haven't been able to visit the facility itself, but from the feedback i've gotten from rank and file, people that have gone through training, they speak highly of it, and if it's going to help us save lives in the long run, we need to make adjustments so that our firefighters are best prepared, that they could be. so anything you could do to help that along, i certainly would be very appreciative of that. thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comments on this issue? >> i did have some more questions. >> okay. >> do you want to finish them? >> i did have some questions
7:09 am
for the chief. thank you for your presentation. i know that -- i mean, i didn't find the report surprising as you probably know, mostly because of the strategic planning part of the report, i've always been concerned about the department, and the fact that the department did not have a strategic plan to deal with staffing, to deal with the equipment, to deal with a number of challenges that the department faces especially when there were really challenging budget times and there had to be cut made and i understand that. i guess, i'd like to understand a little bit more, you know, when the last strategic plan, when and if there were a strategic plan done for the department, and can you explain a little bit more - i know the civil grand jury report is focused on the fire training facility as well the engines and the houses, but
7:10 am
can you explain exactly, you know, what kind of strategic plan you're working on. is it a comprehensive plan or is it more specific to what's in the civil grand jury report? just a little bit more information for the department. >> supervisor yee, chair breed, the goal is comprehensive for a road map for the next three to four five years. we worked on a streej -- we worked on a strategic plan in 2005. there's plenty of plans that exist, but it's putting them into one single document. we've had a hiring plan since 2012. that was in conjunction with the mayor's office. in the next three fiscal years, we anticipate hiring roughly 375 firefighters and anticipate 200 to 375 retirements. we did a lot of that work, but it doesn't exist in a single
7:11 am
document. you've spent time on fire commission, we've had an apparatus plan that has been approved by the staff. our budget reflects that request. the difficult part is that has not been funded to the extent that the plan calls for, so the plan exist, funding has been an issue and that's probably our biggest initiatives coming up, which was not in the grand jury report, but we were making plans for apparatus to make sure we have appropriate apparatus standards. the plan will be comprehensive to address the two components of the civil grand jury report, ems and training, but also fleet, health and wellness, community outreach, it will be very comprehensive.
7:12 am
>> and for the engine -- i mean, for the houses like -- i know there's been bonds that has been passed by the voters, the amount of money that we, say, in the bonds we were using for the fire houses aren't the amount of money we're using for the fire houses. i wanted to know, are there any plans to address long term, some of the challenges with some of the houses? i know that we're -- we're completely doing station 5 and station number 1. a brand new station. we have the new emergency -- the arson unit and others -- speaker: public safety buildings. >> public safety buildings, thank you. we have a number of things that's happening, but we still have a lot of challenges with our fire houses and so our -- do we have, other than that i know the city's capital's plan and information about what we plan to do city wide, is
7:13 am
there any plan with the department in terms of the fire houses as apart of the strategic plan, that will be incorporated into the strategic plan in terms of the standard of every facility should make sure that it's a safe environment? particularly, it's a 24/7 facility. we have a work order funding into the department of public health, and we have an hygenist on board. we have been blessed by the bond funding. we would not -- maintenance has been an issue throughout my 25 plus year career in the station. we've always been, in my opinion, underfunded. we have 50 plus facilities and what it boils down to is less than $100,000 a year. it's more
7:14 am
than 25,000 per facility. without these bonds, 2010 and 2014, we would be not in very good shape. we definitely need adequate funding for our facilities. we understand there's going to be -- our strategic plan will make sure we have proper funding for these aging facilities. you referenced station 1 on fulsome, station 4 in mission bay, but most of the facilities are 50, 60, 70-year-old and it's like the hmo philosophy. the maintenance has been delayed. can you talk a little about response times and where we are now since this report came out? i know we have more ambulances. i know we're
7:15 am
hiring more paramedics and we have more paramedic on the street and there's the information regarding pair mets that are -- regarding paramedics at the station. are there 24-hour a day paramedics in the station. if you talk about that? >> we have seen an improvement. a drop in our response times. the problem we were having wasn't getting a fire -- it was the third timeframe, the 10-meantime frame. we have seen a drop in that due to the investment in staffing as well as apparatus. so we are 87% of the time, we're responding within our timeframe for code 3 emergencies. >> that's less than ten minutes, right.
7:16 am
>> ten minutes or less. so the threshold we like to see, which for a number of years, not just last year, to have -- in 90 percentile has been a challenge for us. we continue to be challenged given traf patterns, given the increase in call volume, but we have seen significant improvement since last year of this time. regarding the paramedics, last year, due to staffing, we dropped to 27 fire engines that had als capability. so als means advance life -- there's a basic life support certified person. $27 fire engines that had als capability. so als means advance life -- there's a basic life support certified person. the vast majority of response by our department can be achieved and treated by a bls training person. it's evaluated to have a paramedic on the engine. we've seen
7:17 am
those paramedic engines rise from a 27 to 33 out of 44. at this point -- that is addressed in the civil grand jury report. at this point, we are more than meeting that 7-minute threshold to have an als provider on scene within the 7-minute timeframe. that has never been a problem for us. and we will continue to analyze the all als engine model which i think has a lot of positives to it, and that you have every engine with the same training -- level of training and that's something we're looking at and we'll probably discuss during the budget season. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. thank you very much. at this time, i'd like to see if there's any public comments on this item. seeing none.
7:18 am
public comment is now closed. i do have one more question though. prior to training facilities that you have access to on treasure island, where did we do our training? >> we were training at 19th and fulsome. there's a large training tower there adjacent to station 7. when i first came in, we had a limited sort of live burn which the epa would certainly, in this day in age would not allow. we would have a smoulder fire down in a basement at 19th and fulsome. that went away in the mid-90s. we had discussions way back then under chief demins and chief tabaco and chief -- i worked for all three of them as director of training and we
7:19 am
really felt that it was valuable as set for our -- a valuable asset for our members and getting -- >> thank you very much. >> i'm sorry, i forgot to ask, where are we with the eoa and are we in compliance at this time with the eoa. >> the exclusive operating area that you're referring to an 80/20 market share. 80% being from the san francisco fire department and 20% by the two private providers as apart of that operating area. we're not quite at 80%. their most recent statistic is 85%. >> i know when we were experiencing the height of our crisis, that the private ambulance companies were
7:20 am
helping the city out which i figured may create a challenge in terms of the eoa, but most important, we wanted to make sure there were ambulances out there on the street, and so -- we're working with the private companies a lot more than we have before, but what do you think -- what would you attribute the change, the increase in our commitment to the eoa too? i would say definitely the infusion of additional staffing we hired in april and one of the things i didn't indicate, but it segways into your question, we did something -- just last weekend, we debuted a model so if we
7:21 am
have a surge period of time in the city or we have a discretionary leave, we have trained fire department individuals who come in. a -- >> are they making overtime? is it a per diem difference than overtime? >> i'm going to ask mark to talk about that. i might ask dr. ya to speak about the era. we're going to address -- >> okay. thank you. >> good afternoon, it's a per diem employee. it's not overtime. this is for employees that are not regularly employed by the
7:22 am
department or employed elsewhere and come work on a part-time basis with the department. >> got it. that's creative. >> thank you, supervisors. i was asked by the chief to mention something about the eoa compliance. a lot is true. we don't meet our goals in terms of market shares. the state has recognized that the important thing is we're providing the services to our citizens. we want to jeopardize that in sake of meeting a number. externally and internally, there's pressure on making sure the processes are in place so we can meet them. that is that we have the infusion of both measures that will make our facility more efficient and allowing more staff to get to 80/20. it's recognized by the state as well as by all of our eternal partners, the privates that we want to get to the
7:23 am
80/20, although it will take time. >> great, thank you. >> did i close public comments yet? i haven't. >> thank you. >> thank you, public comment is now closed. first of all, i would like to thank petty and jack for being here and presenting and for the grand jury that has worked on this issue. you know, this is a very important issue. we want to keep our city as safe as possible. and as much as we might have non about these issues in the past, it's helpful sometime to highlight and say we need to get some things done. to me, it's not
7:24 am
just the fire department by themselves getting it done, but it would take all us to support the fire department whether it's from the budget process or the mayor saying, let's go hire some more folks to fill in the vacancy. let's get what we need. i know this has been an important issue for supervisor breed and for myself. i'm ready to continue to support the efforts of the fire department to get us to -- it seems like we're moving in right direction. so would you like to make anymore comments? >> yes, thank you to the members of the civil grand juries for investigating issues. i know over the past, i guess, year or so, i was really highlighting this issue because of the challenges that many of my residents faced in
7:25 am
our district with ambulance response times and i must say that the investment has definitely made a difference, although there is still a lot more work that needs to be done to get us to where we need to be as a city with the department overall. the fact that the board of supervisors and the mayor have invested a significant dollar amount, over $30 million, additional funding to hire more firefighters -- to hire more paramedic and to try and support the department in a significant way is really commendable. i do think that we definitely need a strategic plan. we definitely need to understand exactly where we are in the department, where we are in the equipment, with our engines, with our facilities,
7:26 am
with our employees. more so because when i first started serving on the commission, i recall there were one year there were over 70 people or 80 people that retired in that one year, and i thought to myself, okay, if we're not bringing on 80 people to replace those people, number one, what are we -- how are we filling those positions, but more importantly, that's a lot of institutional knowledge that's walking out the door. the city needs to do a better job to make sure we don't wait 10 years before we have a class or waiting 10 years to replace equipment or waiting 10 years before we develop a strategic plan. we have to think long term so we can make sure as we approve this development, as we add over the past -- i guess
7:27 am
since 1991, over 100,000 residents, and we're expected to have another 100,000 over the next ten years. we have to keep an eye over the departments. it's really important and i appreciate the work that has been done by the civil grand jury to shed a light on this and i appreciate the department on improving the issues that has been in the department. and lastly, i want to say i do think it's important that, you know, and just for clarity sake, treasure island authority is apart of the city. the members of the commission are appointed by the mayor, approved by the board of supervisors and there's a process here. i understand there are a lot of, sometimes
7:28 am
red tape or legal issues that tie us to certain agreements, but the fact that there has been no leadership to address making sure that this particular training facility would somehow apart of treasure island's long-term plan. i'm not certain how this ball got dropped and i do think that we need to look at this issue very seriously and try and figure out something a lot more permanent because this is about public safety, and treasure island is apart of san francisco, and we hold the authority on what happens with treasure island and we need to be a lot more aggressive when making sure that a facility like this, that provides this level of training for people who are protecting our lives every single day is definitely the least we can do, is make
7:29 am
sure they have a state of our facility to train at. and so this is really important to me and i'm hoping that this sounds of alarm for that particular piece of well. thank you to everyone who is here. thank you to the commissioners i see in the audiences and other members of the department. and i look forward to, hopefully, you know, as time progresses, you know, an even more significant change in the department. thank you. >> so can we have a motion to file item number 3. >> yes. so moved. >> no objection, the motion passes. madam clerk. thank you very much, madam clerk. before we entertain a motion to convene in closed session. can you call item 4-6. >> item number 4-6 authorizes
7:30 am

7:47 am
stand the sites not expanding the patient load their employee numbers or the impacts on transportation so we feel strongly the hospitals should remain under the charitable exception the charm has been working with a broad range of groups looking for and trying to find new fivengd u fund to renovate, upgrade your transportation system we're a partner but we've supported you know the transportation bonds of l f and other federal, state, and local and taking the which i shouldn't programs is a departure and a bit of a breach of faith we urge you to put the hospitals back in under the charitable exception thank you. >> so supervisors normally when you get an agenda there is
7:48 am

7:49 am
number of progressions out this that talk about affordable housing and when you go in that to look at the blueprints we find for example, linked to producing 5 kind scrapers and you supervisors does nothing of the high density buildings around the embarcadero and that's wrong so i don't we have the the city has we is a have some attorneys i think you all should represent the people because i know our board of supervisors has failed to represent the people of san francisco. >> thank you. >> we have many matter with the political distributors and distribution of president fullness should be removed from

8:24 am
report. >> supervisor kim is the authors supervisor kim anything you want to say new. >> thank you. i do want to thank chronicling and the committee for hearing this item today, i first of all, want to acknowledge the hard work the planning department i see our director john ram and many staff members that worked to collect that data since we passed the legislation in april of this year asking for data to have a better understanding of where the city is at in terms of hitting our goals of increasing the production of affordable housing but also where we were at in terms of loss of rental units housing in november of 2014 the voters approved a measure of prop k that said the city should set a goal of hitting 33 percent of affordable housing and 50 percent including madam clerk, any announcements? housing this
8:25 am
is not a mandate but a goal we would like to achieve in making sure that many of the san franciscans get to continue to live here and that we can have a difference workforce that can live in san francisco as well i want to recognize>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> eagle on from the controller's office presenting on citywide income projects i am happy to report in the data to help to understand the impacts to our city's housing stock with the affordable and market-rate that helps policymakers to make more informed policy decisions but shows where the impacts are you think what is most striking about the report we read it in july was that we coming into close to our affordable housing production at 28 percent over the last event 10 years but
8:26 am
we're hurt in the loss of rental units housing and to make sure we're acquiring existing housing stock is just as important as building and providing new affordable housing it is expected that certain districts will harbor more the development in san francisco than otherwise by virtue of the availability of lands or the approximate of transit but regardless of how much development in each district percentage wise all district should offer a positive housing balance the production of affordable units surpasses affordable housing lost to evictions or to unit being taken off the market unfortunately, the majority of our district here in the city have a negative balance ranging from negative one to negative hundred and 89 percent so we have a citywide 10 year
8:27 am
cumulative balance of 15 percent including large projects 20 percent and the balance includes permitted units on top of those that were built i am, of course, very excited to see we're building a lot of housing 62 percent being built in this district and complooib with with supervisor cohen districts it is far in the majority i'm glad to see where we are building the housing a lot of affordable housing and, in fact, district 6 is 44 percent of the new affordable housing i think that it demonstrates it we have development that the city has work hard to insure that affordable housing is a part of any development that is being built and specialist the presence the ellis act that allowed for no fault evictions the report does
8:28 am
reveal dramatically where those evictions occur in district 3 were less than 10 percent that has less than 10 percent of the construction that more than double no fault vibrations and district 8 more than triple when we look at where this is occurring the data is quite helpful in helping us understand where we want to target preservation collision so open up to community members if none open up to director ram. >> director ram. >> thank you, john ram with the planning department we're happy to be here to report on the first essentially the first housing balance i'm joined write teresa the author of the report she'll go into the
8:29 am
details and other colleagues and emry rogers from the planning department. >> so then i think you, we thank ted egan for juan you quickly to go over what the housing balance report is and assistant in april as you may know the board passed ordinance 531 an ordinance to the planning code that directs the department to reports on the balances of new market-rate and other heirs over a 10 year period the affordable units to the net unites over that period it requires this report bio annually and the report to be done right away the one done two months ago i believe now we're on a regular schedule to the report koimdz comes out in the spring we've discussed the fact
8:30 am
that the board will take action after the spring report is out so what is the housing balance target the goal to insure that the data is meeting the take the and informs the approval processes for new housing development 3 targets we looked in this report won the housing element it, of course, is mandated by the state to be upgraded period a goal of 28 thousand new funds i units within 2015 and the 2022 the rehousing allocation that goals percipients it 57 should be available to low and moderate hours the department sentiments a report to the department of housing. >> community development and prepare a report to the planning commission based on that goal
8:31 am
and the second target is prop k, of course, which was passed by voters last year that set a goal that 33 percent of new units be affordable that is the goal it the housing balance aims for and the third the mayors gallows of thirty thousand set by 2020 with the housing visible to low income and middle-income i'll say as supervisor kim pointed out where the parts of city that are seeing the most development are where we are achieving the affordability goals because the housing development helped to pay for that and the department is eagle seeing and need to work with mohcd and other agencies on stabilizing the housing and this is an important point in the
8:32 am
report kind of guiding us in the work with the mission street and hopefully other neighborhoods as we moving forward the stabilization, if you will, the neighborhoods roksz the senior development and the need to stabilize the rent-controlled unit how are you stockbroker with that, i'm going to turn it over to teresa to go over the details of the report thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. >> my name is teresa with senior planner with the citywide policy planning section i'll be presenting on the housing balance details as director wham ram mentioned the housing balance the portion of housing unit to the totals of new hournts over a 10 year housing balance period
8:33 am
what is the 10 year historical production trend. >> if we are to look at just new housing production and affordable units made up of 29.7 or thirty percent of the net new housing units built in the last 10 period we're talking about the third quarter of 2005 is to the 2015 this presentation is actually on the second report you've received the housing balance clacks looks at beyond the calculation and the housing balance calculations looked at the choigsz and rehabilitations made and rad and replacement completed rad stands for rental demonstration he essentially the
8:34 am
replacement of older public housing projects and entitled and permitted affordable units must units reformed from protected status sierra club the rental units are removed under ellis act or the demolition catalytic i have condominium conversion and other no fault evictions the housing stock is seen as as proposition for that netted new units built plus net new entitled and permitted units the figures are all for the 10 year reporting period. >> this presentation covers the second housing balance reports simply for the period we looked at net new oornz stock
8:35 am
totaled 4 nine hundred the net affordability shocker is 15 percent the cumulative city balance over the 10 year period the ordinance also requires that the housing balance be calculate for the brown's district and by planning department direction the slide shows the balances for the board of supervisors district and this range from negative hundred and 89 percent if district 4 to 40 percent in district 5 the negative balances are due to larger number of units removed from protected status relative to the net new affordable units in the howe new housing units builds overall district 5, 6 and 10 positive baltz 40, 25 and 20 percent
8:36 am
respect the rest of the negative balances. >> i'm sorry can you repeat that one more time you said district 5, 6 and 10. >> are positive housing balances. >> especially meaning we're building - and the affordable housing units built relative to the affordable housing units that are taken from the market they're more net units built relative to those. >> if i can say it more simply we're building more affordable housing than losing so districts 5, of and 10 are building more affordable housing than we're losing. >> thank you. >> this next slide shows the director of transportation by the pricilla chan district those districts by way of are consistent with the boundaries in the housing inadvertent
8:37 am
reports again those arrange of balance from negative hundred 25 percent to the right-of-way approximately the geography of the board of supervisors district 4 and about 39 in the western edition and in downtown. >> the ordinance also requires a projected housing balance sierra club net new affordable units as a proposition of the total new units in projects that have received entitlements and yet to receive the building permit. >> this slide shows the balance is 13 percent the - this prolonged housing balance is provided the board of supervisors district and planning department levels. >> so what is not included the
8:38 am
housing balance ordinance also specifics that 3 major projects have already been entitled but do not yet have building permits not included in the projected housing balance altogether those projects will provide about 23 thousand seven hundred net units of which 21 percent will be affordable not included in the projected housing balance are projects currently under review and rad projects that are slated to starts rehabilitation in a couple of months about 12 thousand nine hundred units goodwill review 40 percent are affordable units 70 market-rate projects are a total of 10 thousand 5 hundred
8:39 am
units subject to the inclusionary housing requirement at this time we do know how much they'll generate it depends on the option those projects take there are about 15 rad projects in phase one one thousand 4 hundred and 25 we have rrgs rehabilitation to start in december. >> what are the next steps the department sticks to the bilingual annual reporting schedule and stipulate the housing balance reports couples in the first of mark and september it was will conducted before the board of supervisors and before the first of april of mayor's office of housing and community development the
8:40 am
mayor's office of housing the rent board and the department of building inspection and the city visit will present strategies for maintaining a health balance with the city's affordable meeting in april should a cumulative balance fall blow with a determined amount of funding for the city to be in the 33 percent the planning department's will create and maintain a website specifically for the housing balance report as required by the ordinance i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you very much for our thoughtful preservation i'd like to bring up mr. had a wood can you do us a favor and gives the highlight why this report is important and what are the key
8:41 am
points it's trying go to communicate. >> happy to sophie hayward from the mayor's office of housing and community development thank you for having us here today, the housing balance report is one way to track the city's voter approved dowel to achieve a housing balance as memoriam listed through the prop k we at mohcd are responsible for the code requirement after the issuance of the second report if april i'm here to do today so out a in broad strokes of the work of mohcd for chief of police the goals of prop k we're tracking 3 inputs to the formula formula that creates the housing balance and for us as the new affordable housing production managing our priming specifically, and, secondly, findings new funds and resources
8:42 am
and securing the resources to secure affordable housing and third managing or watching and doing our part for the loss of rent-controlled units so to that end in terms of new production mohcd current affordable housing pipeline projects the 3 thousand 5 hundred rehabbed affordable units by 2018 those will if i calculate takes the balance have to 26 percent i'll work with them online for the eligible accountability and in addition 3 thousand plus 2, 3, 4 predevelopment and that's part of our regular pipeline you've heard that from time to time by way of new funds i'd like to just take a few moments to highlight two new sources we know of and two potential source
8:43 am
of other than first around the sb 107 for 3 thousand units that previously have fallen into the category with no identified funding in addition, we have the new the states cap & trade regulations recently eliminated the $15 million jurisdictional cap in the first rounds the allocations it means in the future multi projects within san francisco, california apply each for up to $15 million in individual award from the cap & trade funding we hope that is expedites are production of affordable housing and by a way of the two potential source of revenue the ab two, that was passed at the state level we're
8:44 am
hoping that is favorable for san francisco we're not sure yet but provide you more information as we pull it together a number of criteria that are required in order to secure that funding but we're analyzing right now the city at various levels to see how that applies and, of course, the affordable housing bonds that railroad on the ballot this november and if this passes 4 hundred more rehabbed or new affordable units. >> loss of units is the third category i want to address this is challenging as a city and at mohcd in particular we don't have control over the loss of rental units p we have as a a city and continue to pursue efforts to slow evicts and the loss of those protected units at mohcd we'll continue to fund the
8:45 am
defense programs fully and then we'll hopefully as you are the tenants rights legislation will slough the loss of protected units we're making process in establishing the framework for on accelerator fund to focus on the collision of larger rent-controlled units buildings to remove the tenants and that if i understand will serve as a compliment to the small sites program that seeks to acquire smaller rent-controlled units. >> so as i said we'll provide our formal response in the spring i hope this gives us an approach how we looking at the balances and i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you. we appreciate the - >> may i have. >> got a couple of questions for you. >> please.
8:46 am
chair cowen. >> i talked about ab 2 at the board and incredibly interested what the stating means in treasure island we included in the da a we're recent to use an increment to go up to other thirty percent that was the original goal of affordable housing on the island but i also understand that ab two allows us based on a set of criteria to use tax cements on sensitive blocks maybe less of a question more of an ask or a request that mohcd look at the all the eligible tracks in the works so we can have a map of where we might be able to use this tool in san francisco and, of course, i've requested that the treasure island department are authority to look at how to mohcd tracks
8:47 am
our affordability on treasure island and great to work with the mayor's office of housing as well. >> absolutely from when i understand this is our preliminary stages how we could potentially use our assess through ab 2 we need to start with the mapping the tracks that includes the tracks that are income eligible and work with on the vice presidents to layer in the data related to the other data. >> thank you. i'm glad that moh city as working on it is it a high bar given the fact they use the average medium income not san francisco i know your i'm is much higher than statewide hopefully, there will be sustained areas we can use is for, and, secondly, i'm glad to hear about the housing
8:48 am
