for a strong public safety improvement the other things the project delivers are wider sidewalks on both sides of howard street a safe pedestrian crossing with mint and mary streets shortening the streets longer than mary we are excited about those aspects of the project and wanted to again show how prediction to sxh the developers and my colleagues that we've been working with at sfmta and the whole city thanks. >> good afternoon, supervisors dee dee workman in the san francisco chamber of commerce the chamber representing over 15 hundred businesses with many employees that would love to live in san francisco we strongly support of knowledge project the mixed use development provides much needed

developers support those lows driving and more bicycling and walking will help 5 m is supported binding bike lanes and pedestrian safety improvements and led to the community driven plan for the street is will help to reduce the driving plans and as my colleague nicole said it will half the residential parking spaces will greatly reduce traffic and help, help walking and writing ibm biking from the city the 5m will help with a study that promotes biking and walking and in the advisory committee of time central selma plan it is important for future development 5 m has discussed and address did concerns of

dangerous traffic and i also want to thank supervisor kim so for challenging overseeing issues it made a big difference and 5 m has made candidates to counteract our concerns and make sure the city holds them affordable thank you. >> hi, i'm tony work with senior and exact a senior board recently just a few days ago noted not to endorse or support of knowledge project the project will not only effect the filipino community but all the families and youth and families that live in selma and the surrounding areas there is rules on the books to protect the families since 2008 the area plans are for neighborhood not a second financial district the developers are completely george the impacts of open space

and shadows our appeal as selma south of market action committee shows that the eir or environmental impact report is inaccurate and i think consistent there are so mount other approvals that don't fast track without analyze working oig oig u obvious with the seniors and the rest of the city you know your concern is gentrification and displacement with land values that are skyrocketing as a result of that project we find it dangerous not only for selma the entire planning has been working with the developer that disregards the fact that san francisco is a planned city with existing zoning so this circumstance have the opportunity is out of line it is

quite dourjz and as a native san franciscan fourth generation that don't mean a damn thing i have to say personally by some of the actions that have happened with some of the folks that are making those decisions i'm personally hurt i'm personally i take great offense and disgusted thank you. >> sorry sorry about that tests letting get more folletti

36 percent on our lower ways of our economies and provided it with all our economics and with our districts i am not i've been putting a lot of pages into this we have considered it lennar benefits that we- make more than what we've been doing with all those economics which really puts 22 percent in our lower - where they go to school and benefit for 42 percent on our

higher you know economies which is - >> thank you, nancy pelosi mr. bylaw aim andy imply with the proud 16 coalition here in solidarity that the selma we believe this project should not be approved there should be a continuance the first full board hearing until at least december 15th whatever changes to the development go agreement didn't change the faulty eir the eir fails to talk about the drafting of draft eir has two schemes that may constitute and fails to perform the simultaneous comparison for the vitality - the public was preexcluded if commenting on the

process and regarding the shadow the draft eir fails to consider the spaces used by the public the yerba buena children's area and the yerba buena in the north forest city has conceded the project could be conceded to forbode the shadows the eir used an continually small study for the traffic analysis the internal revenue identified impacts at some intersection but immediately addresses the feasible mitigations lo including the reducing the trips generating uses of project is getting additional height bus because it is so close to transit the project about double the amount of the sites the eir

fails to accountant for the traffic in the area considering the changes to market street and regarding the wind the wind tunnel effects the exterior of the site leona helmsley. >> okay. thank you. >> diane (calling names). >> hi, i'm diane's e diane with the selma action committee to pick up where mr. blue left off the eir appeals notes there is inconsistent with the area plans and policies the project is inconsistent with the general plan the central selma plan and prop k regional housing needs allocation south of market and zoning and the status of regulation and the good news regulations with the surrounding instead of the impacts the

results were impacted under the current zones and regulations the draft eir analyze the impacts under the promoted city codes and regulars their trailer made the city makes sense the sited in compliance i want to point out under zero public meeting held by the city prior to any of the hearings at city hall considering the projects like pier 70 were foirt was vvld involved that was coming after the fact 11:00 p.m. maergz we get a minute to talk about our concerns you know we didn't know about what the project will look like until september after the final eir was given we had to ask for the developer to extend the view the project

to pass street levels not cut off at the top of page that only happened in accept the fact that process is fast tracked without enough public contribution meaningful public contribution for the project is problematic it is setting a bad precedent for the city not negotiated behind closed doors with the consideration of the public thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you diane >> next speaker. >> handsome i'm 99 why with gabriella san francisco i work with san francisco migrate and emigrated families in the excelsior i'm here to speak in opposition of the 5 m project the people speaking to slow down the process that are here not against the development but

rather within no point i am not when profit driven corporate needs at the forefront we're facing a problem in the rapid increase affordable housing crisis making the working-class families and communities this is not about building affordable housing and filling a quota all the community benefits that is about generously doing community planning with people in this planning pr the problems that will come out of the project can't be curd through a development agreement people power and planning community is possible and the selma community has been pro-active we need this city hall to insure that basic needs are prioritized including housing and jobs and necessary services to serve the community we need to slow down the process and more importantly for the

city to invest in the community and understand the investment for the 5 m project that project should not be approved the board shouldn't rush to be approved and asking for continuance until december 15th thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> communities joseph constricting is the south of market community action network i wanted to respond to some of the points made by the chief environmentalist probably the most important point the report states the development agreement leads to a rash of 32 percent it is inaccurate and misleading it is inaccurate because of the planning code the developers is to pay an inclusionary fee and to the city's affordable housing

fund at a rate of 12 period of time offsite in no case shall the project receive the first certificate of preference holders until they receive the sovereigty certify of occupancy no benefit for the developer to - this maternity be developed more affordable housing next no reference for the remaining funds need for that senior the 0ib89 offsite to be implemented a reference to gap funding not providing those units next another false in the report is that there is a presumption that this project makes office rents and housing prices go down yet no crisis no matter the units or office space will cost

i don't know how you can prestigious project if there is no numbers by the chief consisting next the office space is proposed i guess by policy complications we can change forest citys proposal next year. >> the next group of speakers will be (calling names). >> this project has pan inadequate no public meetings only by the developers

i want to talk about traffic before i do i want to make a couple of comments that trouble me one is the misleading portrayal of the open space by the 5m organization forest city and its support by the city planners the presentation of the open space shows greenery there is no green it is a hard-surface very dark since it is surrounded by dark building like mint plaza not a beautiful place that encourages the interaction with communities and families the second thing is the notion of the transition in height from downtown to central selma no transition the guess so the enormous buildings is so out of scale with the neighborhood and are large 80 percent of the

buildings in the central downtowns the central district is much for welcoming to the kind of programs that 5 m is proposing i do worry about the small streets mary and on the people that work on those streets are among the frail, the elderly people that live in sro's people who are drug users but those have the malcolm heinicke in a and u tom are more than 8 hundred trips a day during rush hour that makes it an unsafe area, no way for this to be a thorough way and mta needs to replan to move a lot of cars from those two alleys otherwise, it is going to be an increasing dangerous area. >> thank you.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> you don't look like barbara. >> madam chair you called my name earlier. >> i'm a member of the sf behavior and want to reiterate this is a time would with the hicks we need to stop democrat ingress forest city in the city for 25 years have been taken care for the community outreach for this particular project that particular project makes the neighborhood more buildable the 5 m is a sufficient density to support the businesses mixed use the 5 m project provides work places serving shops and services diverse the 5m offices housing suit to all types of household and household under the circumstances provides

services and jobs and support the diverse biz businesses it supports the mental health of residents is clean and promotes social building and green the 5m will serve parks and playground and plaza and green ways and trees and planting are integrated into the street designs and building will provide open space and green roofs the 5m provides the car free living by being connected to the sustainable transition go walking and kayaking and taking knowing those are designed for accessibility and lastly uses natural resources sparely and generates little waste we ask you to support this project thank you. >> i don't call your name i

know you. >> give me a second you'll be the next one. >> i got you in the next batch you'll be coming up but before we get to you we'll get to (calling names). >> hello good afternoon. i'm with the organization i'm residents of selma and have serious concerns about the forest city has presented to you. >> this project should not be approved the board shouldn't rush to approve it should be continuance for the full board

continuance of this the first board hearing until at least december 15th. >> good morning. my name is a chris from the south of market action committee i'm actually, i was going to say a few things the new developments made me feel compelled to speak on other items i think the concern is the new amis the basic we just looked it up 3 thousand 6 hundred for a studio that's y not what we're talking about affordable housing in this neighborhood and part of that project these are the ami - these are the tricks that are really, really upset about when it comes to negotiate on behalf of the consultant without realizing

serious impacts before we moved and what was proposed a great opportunity it is such a huge site to negotiate one package deal that is back in the day and the development had an open process with staff from the city that actually opened up for public comment this is an deal that didn't have any public process except for the final approval not in terms of what this comes before and being developed within the community within the planning area we also have brought up issues of bringing in alternatives no matter you that is something we want you to consider those are issues i believe are coming up during the appeal process we've raised i ask that you do in the make any approvals until you have the appraisal process one it question should

have denounced offices on howard street that is slooufl the wrong location i see the plans for central selma on admitting you do have affordable housing on the site the majority are required for - >> hello my name is teresa from the veterans equality center and at this time it is very disgusting how the community is talking about 40 percent affordability but onsite 100 percent ami one 20 ami you know what 100 percent ami is the studio there is one thousand seven hundred plus ami for a studio 2 thousand and 100 percent so for a studio 2 thousand plus this negotiation going on without displacement

and analysis we're ac a r acting like no gentrification in south of market and other parts of city who is this who are we build for when we are proposing for the cultural district we want to stay in the filipino community south of market we know that what our population looks like we see them everyday 5 percent and below there are needs to be a deep affordability so when people talk about avenue, i feel lee it is a keyword without substance of affordability medians thank you. >> (clapping). >>

designated for the filipino culture district as part of south of market in 2012 in the developer left hand to the community we could a have that but instead this provides for 6 hundred and 70 units of housing and forest city for 6 hundred 90 units of housing the 60 period of time affordable is with the heirs balance policy with office space and retail space we have thirty thousand square feet of office in the special use district and ground floor retail we want to see neighborhoods serving the businesses like the community plan keatings keeps the democrat staster community

our vision is on top of the chronology site the plan respect the filipino community and the existing neighborhood the heights are the highest one 60 feet for the draft eir selma. >> thank you. >> robert thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> supervisors good morning. i'm vivian the executive director of west bay filipino supervisors filipinos in the bay area are grateful that those resolutions creates a filipino hemorrhaging district that may not be the first step our people are not displaced in the south of market it is today, the proposed project offers 40 percent of affordable housing that may not be commendable on the surface but how a benefit to

the filipinos we sever this is remaining to be seen how exactly does that affordable housing benefit the demographic i serve no incomes to the extremely low income filipino immigrants we have a laundry list of prices that says we can't afford that it is that simple now this project threatens to go against the spirit of filipino heritage district and the zones that was propelling voilgd how underserved filipino polyps therefore our culture to remain and thrive there is time to study this just continue to december he ask you to look at the community that is ignored and over looked in san francisco and yet the biggest asian-american community in california we care for our

(calling names). >> good afternoon, supervisors i live in the tenderloin a member of the board called the residents community association and while i'm here standing to say that, yes perhaps the possibility of housing i'm having a problem even though it is supposed to be people afforded for the displaces many will not afford them i'm referring to the ones that don't have the income versus the ones that have they'll get the jobs it is okay with me but audit of that group that don't have the ability to have those those will not be able to for the record anything the word affordable is a bad word nobody can afford

anything except folks you ends that are rich i will suggest maybe change our thinking and include as our consider ground zero finance people that don't have as much pope money people that don't have the ability to have jobs and get paid good people you've seen since i've been here everything is putting in the jobs in the community everyone gets the jobs not the poor not part of our conditions it would be nice it the city will spare all the actions and planning for the benefit as citizens which is all of us but instead they're not for all of us florida therefore only the select few that have a pocket full of money so i am we should

change the policy we are ♪ place thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors testing willingly born the 5m project offers many benefits to san francisco the developer is making money hand over fist that's why very offering those benefits but the developers have come back to the city and changed their minds about xyz and asked to reduce what they have promised especially in f this case the developers are going to flip anyway, we have a housing shortage from two places the market has not been building housing until recently but the city's policy to build office space to drawing job is a major cause of housing problem we don't need to build more

office space and bring in more jobs that only puts pressure on the housing we have right now this project is in consistent with the general plan and is cumulative impact is major displacement of san franciscans who live here now and as many of you may know you know that when people get evicted economically or by legal process they get evicted from in their place their evicted from san francisco they lose their neighborhoods the cumulative impact besides displacement of thousands the nearby property owners will make money hand over fist their dlltdz and the city needs to take responsibility to holds hearings on major projects and legislation and wait for the b o a study we can get a better deal and lower height and protect the neighborhoods and the residents

i'm jamie good afternoon, supervisors i stand before you as a concerned san franciscan as a proud member of the filipino-american i know we've heard the term it if sounds too good to be true it probably is we're faced with this today i'd like to highlight the thinking adequacy and diminishes in the 5 m development agreement and the economic report start off with the economic report the timelyness we barely had four days to comment what i saw on its faces some of the things we should raise questions audios legislators and residents first, the irrelevance environmental impact reports has inform analysis that is clear the findings that are balances the truant not sure if if the the

$2,015 question need clarity no study resources or exhibits to prepare that that is quicker at best and the second it the economics report this broad strokes it without facts and evidences page 13 talks about the spends over 5 years no timeline or phase ♪ development where is the 5 years and then the law conclusions of downward pressures the economy where are the facts i want to focus on the developments agreement today, we're talking about the 40 percent i question how to get to 40 percent if we haven't gotten to 33 percent in a nut shell look at the language it is losses in language it says anticipated 33 percent those 83 units are all aspect active a parcel of lands downloaded and

the seniors when is that built - >> thank you. >> all right. now is the time no more speaker cards i want to invite anyone that hadn't had an opportunity to speak you'll have 23 minutes like everyone else. >> i'm silva johnson i've been trying. >> through the chair. >> i'm sorry ms. johnson just a moment. >> ms. johnson spoke. >> ms. johnson the clerk of board said you already spoke you can only speak one time. >> - >> ms. york the clerk has indicates you've spoken okay anyone else that wants to speak

spoken a lot and ouch about my support of this project and you can't why this is today, i want to talk about the higher amis when you talk about the dollars amounts associated with the higher levels it sunday's ridiculous but for my employees not to put them on blast but folks that work with us and retail they don't qualify for the 50 percent and above i'm happy there are things happening f in public housing that exists for the lowest of the low i don't know that people don't like the way that sounds i'm glad san francisco is pitting time and energy into the revoiftd our assets and affordable housing is targeted to those lower amis i'm in support of higher amis it reaches the nonprofit workers and features or teachers and

other folks that are two member incomes that again kwltsd. >> i stand corrected ms. johnson if you want to talk on items it through 4 my apologies i realize you spoke on item one. >> thank you, supervisors. >> i just want to make comments on the planning for our citywide and to you know the process that and make housing i'm very familiar with the building of hours and we put down you know where this project i've been fairly really taking

disadvantaged because of my illsness and i think that is one of the things we've been you know sdraurgd because that has to do with the amount of money we've in which you've got to talk to businesses last week investing what the medication and making more money that you'll never discussed with me and you just maids your own decision and the questions out of - which would always job hungry and want more and you talked about they're calling me i make a lot horror money 90 in

building hours and more assess come on in a the work - other things i've already developed that is different ideas i have and i have a study for a project one of the things i think a lot of people are scared of my aunt i didn't did a lot of things processes and strive for that is not fair. >> thank you very much all right. ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone else that wants to speak on this item that has not spoken before all right. seeing none, public comment is closed this matter is in the hands of the committee supervisor kim >> the floor is yours.

>> thank you chair cowen i want to thank all the members of the public that is often hard when we have major projects come before this board that is also a board spectrum of opinions on any project in the neighborhoods our neighborhood is person it is our home i live two blocks away from 5 m this is personal to me certainly understand the myriad of concerns but also support for this project development a complicated i think i understand that you know really well having to approve and negotiate much the development south of market and the tenderloin i want to start off first, by making a series of amendments and some concluding remarks so i have we have distributed amendments both to the planning code and the

development agreement that are before the board members today and mr. gibner do i need to read into the record or speak. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney. >> yeah. i think. >> covered it during our openly comments and mr. guys the planning commission about the pamphlet to the suds don't have to read into the record but describe them as you worry about. >> i'd like to make the amendments into the cladding zoning map and codifying many of the points that are negotiated up until today and assuring that aspects the development are codified within the zoning map and planning code. >> okay. >> i'll see if there is any comments nope. >> do you have another amendment and those are all my

amendments we know that dme has an additional amendment. >> thank you, madam chair i have an amendment sdwrbd to the development agreements agenda item 5 it is really 4 and it is an amendment has to do with with street widths we've had issues in the past that board approved major projects with certainty have the dimensions and down the road city department comes back a insists on a chronic a can say cascading effect that causes challenges and in an ad hoc way the department says i hereby demand you change the dimensions of the road needs to wider roads matt haney that narrower sidewalks and so forth so this

amendment will basically require that any city agency does in the future decide it times us to change small business week with respect to the sidewalk width they'll have to meet with the agencies and developer to try to work through it so it is not the wield west it is how it is played out in the past that's my amendment. >> thank you very much why not take those amendments one by one supervisor kim start with our two like to make a motion. >> thank you. >> i thought i made the motion just to amend as i've articulated in my opening statement. >> we'll take that without objection. those amendments pass excellence we'll take that without objection. the amendments pass and supervisor wiener a motion. >> yes. i move the amendment

he distributed and describe and excellence i'll second that a colleagues those amendments pass we'll take that without objection. so the dew to the pepdz sequence those items we need to move forward without a recommendation; is that correct madam clerk and yes move the amendment items forward. >> okay. i move we forward without recommendation and supervisor jane kim i wanted to make some conclude comments but we make the motion to move out and certainly have opportunity to speak next tuesday, i want to say i'm never excited about approving an amendment that is not 100 percent but want to

build on a sited that affordable housing costs between $406,000 a door we need to work with our market-rate developers to subsidize affordable units and also to build for value in the land what is important when we approve the land to the developers we insure we share that development with the community i think there is multiple ways to look at the displacements and the gentrification here many in san francisco we're all heart broken it is questionable whether building less or building more achieves less development and gentrification and build a more exists san francisco the jury is out the point we're at right now i do support us building development as well as that developer and development is building for as many san franciscans as possible i don't

want to disagree with points by the that public this is spot zone he wish one area plan and built what was in that plan that's not the practice in san francisco for quieted a time when we're trying to build more affordable housing it should be okay to do spot zoning i want to say there is often a lot of debate over who is affordable housing well affordable housing is what has been defined by hud zero a to wyoming 20 percent of ami developers tried to fin it in a fluid income way 33 percent is affordable housing and on top of that their additional 7 percent more affordable housing this is the ways that is when we negotiated to the giants in lot 337 i see people come out against that project i know the

locations are different but development will continue in san francisco i think we need to share that future developers with condominium toe middle east this standard and voting no on the project where the developer is willing to come in other developers will ever commit to 40 percent avenue, i do think a wide range is important i think i want to build as low and subsidy the units so many marching families that get pushed out the city frankly the middle-income residents are pushed out and the nonprofit workers families that make been with one and $30,000 a year those are people that or exactly too many of the not the people in the room i think we have to be careful when we discuss and

fight over the breakdown we realize we're trying to build confusing and each project will look different in the overall balance when we are doing development in the city make sure we incorporate it into the larger picture which i've attempted to do in negotiating that deal with forest city and is mayor's office of housing and community development have been strong supporter and affordability in this project and, of course, the developer that made that difficult but instead said we want to get to this grossly and i look forward to the continued conversation next it's on the environmental impact there will be other issues and amending the project but i'll be supporting the motion to move out a of committee. >> thank you.

>> colleagues we'll take that without objection. all right. motion passes. >> thank you. >> clarify that is going out to the board of supervisors meeting and correct. >> thank you madam clerk, is there any further business before this commission? there's no further business. >> >> thank you very much ladies and gentlemen, this meeting is

>> welcome everybody to a special meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors budget and finance commission for november 9th, 2015. i'm thank you, charles crem nack and jennifer low from san francisco geof and the clerk of the committee, ms. wong. do we have any announcements. >> please science any

carolinas and electronic devices and documents to be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. thank you. >> could you call items 1-4. >> item 4, resolution adopting findings under the california environment quality act and its guidelines including the adoption of a mitigation monitoring and reporting program and a statement of overriding considerations, in connection with the development of the golden state warriors event center and mixed-use development at miss bay south blocks 29 to 3 and mission bay south redevelopment plan. item 2, ordinance amending the administrative code to establish a fund to pay for the city services and capital improvements addressing transportation and other needs of the community in connection with the events at the golden state warriors event center and mixed-use project. >> item 3, ordinance

water to speak on the items. >> thank you, good afternoon. supervisors. chair farrell, madam vander water in the office of workforce development. we have four items for your consideration. first adoption of ceqa monitoring requirements at the ocii commission and board and you planning commission. so we don't have a separate presentation prepared for that. i will walk you through the creation of the mission bay transportation improvement fund, and then barbara moyer from the mission bay task force will wrap up with items 3 and 4. before i do that i wanted to give the project sponsor an opportunity to say a few words and invite rick welts, president and chief operating officer of the warriors >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm president and chief operating officer of the

golden state warriors and honored to be in front you today. since we piveted the mission bay a year-and-a-half ago we had over 60 community meetings including 11 meetings with the mission bay cac, and numerous meetings with the dog patch potrero and south bay neighborhoods, the ucsf, and obviously the mission bay biotech community. through this process i'm pleased to say that our support has been just nothing short of incredible. this is best evidenced by the overwhelming turnouts we had last week in the unanimous votes at ocii, planning and mta. along with that strong support from the first day, we started this project, we also heard time and time again concerns from the community, and especially from ucsf about transportation in the neighborhood. we feel like we have gone a long way to addressing those concerns through our recent agreement with the ucsf negotiated by chancellor's

office and barb french. that addresses hospital and local access and includes capping of events when the giants are also playing. the ordinance before you is last most critical piece of this puzzle, the means to ensure there is ongoing funding for the transportation services that will be there for the entire neighborhood. the warriors are in strong support for this measure. we urge to you move it forward, thank you. >> thank you, mr. welts. >> the clerk mentioned the use of the four action items before you. i think the most substantive item is item 2, the ordinance establishing the fund, and we'll spend the bulk of our presentation walking through its mechanics. before we do so, as mr. welts

mentioned we have been having this conversation for about 18 months in the community, since the warrior moved to mission bay and for context-setting it's sites 29 through 32 in mission bay redevelopment project area, mission bay south, excuse me. which they purchased privately from sales force, and that transaction just completed a number of weeks ago. it is a 100% privately funded site acquisition, and construction. there is no city funding within the curb of the site. on-site at the proposal is for 18,000-seat arena. about 580,000 gross square feet of office, and up to 125 gross square feet of retail. it's entirely within the mission bay height limits of 160'. there are 950 parking stalls on-site, and as part of the purchase, acquired the rights to 132 spaces across the street at 450 south street.

this is an existing garage to the north of the site plan. and there are 3.2 acres of on-site open space, most notably 1-acre plaza off the 3rd street which will be the primary entry from transit and 3rd. this gives you a sense of the level of activity we anticipate at the arena, in addition, to the 41 regular home season games, the tallest bar there, and up to 3 preseason games and of course, nba finals every year in san francisco. we have a number of concerts, other rentals, family shows, and other events at the arena. the capacity again of 18,000 will likely be realized during some of those peak events, the center stage configuration concerts, and postseason games. but due to the nature of the

smaller events, the convention events, the theater events and disney on ice type of family shows the average attendance is 9300 as projected by the eir. a couple of quick visuals. a view of the mid-rise office towers seen from 3rd and south street. this will be the primary site from the new expanded platform, from the t3, the primary access from transit. you walk into the site from the northwest corner. you will come diagonally into that one-acre plaza about the same size as the elevated portion of the union square. and into your first real view of the arena in the distance and the primary entrance. if you recall from the site design you can go around the

perimeter to the terry francois side of the water. we had a lot of time in the mission bay and in the community, we have met with a number of primary stakeholders, and that included the neighborhoods, the businesses, the hospital, some of the advocacy organizations and that culminated just last month with a number of very critical endorsements. one on october 6th the official endorsement there the university of california, san francisco mission bay and later that week unanimous approval of the design from the mission bay citizens advisory committee. and october 20th, a letter from the life sciences community officially endorsing the project as well. we then went into a series of approvals. unanimously certificated by the office of community investment and infrastructure and the sfmta board.

last thursday the planning commission unanimously approved the sign view and ceqa findings and mmrp that is before you today. just before we get into the financials, a big topic in the community is transportation. there is a number of very high-profile transportation improvements that you are not doubt aware of, completion of the central subway, the next phase of the t-3rd and fillmore transit priority project, a preferential street on 16th street, electrification of caltrain and ferry ferminal expansion and multi-billion dollar investments coming to san francisco irrespective of the project proposal. sitting on top of that are a number of specific improvements

to the site. so once the arena is open for business, we will be decreasing the headways, the time between trains on the t-third and adding longer trains. it's currently one-car trains and if you have experience going to the meetings, the great door-to-door service from city hall, but not on a real regular frequency and we'll be addressing that as part of this. purchasing seimens light-rail vehicles, allowing them to go to 2-car train and much higher frequency. we're also adding special event shuttles on 16th street into the regional transit commencings at transbay and terminal building and van ness brt and regional collections and working with our regional partners at bart, at weta, golden gate and caltrain and sam trains.

there is a variance in the project to create a new center platform. so when you go to the giant's game and go to the central boarding platform, which has the advantage of being both longer and wider and serving both trains in either direction. in addition to transit supply, we have a lot of traffic management. these stars on the map show proposed locations for parking control officers, the mta uniforms that are flushing traffic in the peak directions. there are a couple of colors that may not show well on the screen, including those we analyzed in the eir and those added and a couple of critical ones to the conversations with the neighborhood and hospital to separate destinations. so if you are coming to the arena and looking for parking, you do so on the arterial streets like

mariposa and 16th and do not interrupt the traffic along the hospital and we'll be diverting the traffic to do that. there is also an on-site management center, much like at at&t park with closed circuit tv and contacts to deploy as necessary if we get an event that draws from one direction geographically more than another and we can shift accordingly. so now into the financials. there is two elements to any financials, one is the one-time upfront capital costs and the other is the operating. on the capital side, we're proposing to purchase four of the light-rail vehicles, to install crassover crossover tracks allowing downstream accessibility to expand the

platform as we described and augment powers to train can idle preand post events, including when there is an event at at&t park. installing signals, changeable message signs and closed circuit court tvs and upgrating the network. the total cost is over $55 million in 2014 dollars, just so we're consistent with all of our sources and uses. and our projections have one-time project-generated sources of about $25.4 million from the real property tax transfer tax that our assessor received and construction-related taxes leaving a balance just shy of $30 million that we're in active discussions with the controller's office to figure out how to finance those costs. on the one-time side, on the

source's side, we contracted with economic and planning systems, the same consultant who did the fiscal feasibility for the original site at piers 30-31 and updated for mission day and instructed them to be accurate, but conservative in their estimates. by that, i mean, if there is a range of revenues, on any of these particular line items, choose the lower end and be conservative about what you think the project will generate? we also then had keyser marston review these and she'd made sure our budget analyst was heavily involved. the result of that was $14.1 million as shown in line item here. on the uses side, taking the

$14.1 and break it down into component parts there is an element mandated by the ad min code and voters to go to dedicated and restrict sources, -- the tax measures total $ 2.9 million. operating costs are largely transportation as you saw with transportation augments and traffic management, the parking control officers, totals about $6.1. of the $6.1, $5.1 million is dedicated to the sfmta just less than a million is for the sf police department for added foot patrols in the neighborhood surrounding the site, not on-site. and some extra funds for the department of public works for street cleaning services in the neighborhood. the warriors pay into the mission bay management corporation. and to mission bay parks, that maintain the streets, sidewalks

and parks in the neighborhood. this is sort of an added backstop measure during events, to make sure that there are no neighborhood impacts as people leave the site. we mentioned the $55 million in one-time capital needs. the delta that we would look to finance results in an annual payment of $2.7 million to cover those capital costs. and that leaves two items. one is a dual event fund and all of our conversations in the neighborhood with the hospital, with the biotech community, a lot of concern was transportation, and specifically peak condition transportation. so what happens when there is a playoff game at one of the sites and a concert at the other? or there is a lot of activity in the neighborhood and keep in mind, baseball and basketball are very complimentary, that world series just completed and nba season just began, so there is

very little overlap between the two. in those conditions we have created a dual event fund that makes additional funds available to the director of transportation, who is here today, to put into service extra transit, extra parking control, other services to make sure that the flow of traffic gets to where it needs to go. and we'll talk in a minute about the administration of those funds. that leaves a remaining balance of the $14.1 of $1.5 million. we have language in the transportation improvement fund that if conditions even despite all of our efforts in the project description with the million dollar dual event reserve result in significant delay and we measure a couple of routes from the neighborhood out to the regional collections up 16th, down 3rd, up to the bridge. if that gets to be a significant delay, there can be access to these funds. our hope is that we never reach

that point, and if so, then we would be generating $2.9 million to our dedicated and restricted city funds and another $1.5 million to the remaining balance for a total of $4.4 per year. these are all funds that do not exist today that are all generated by the arena. and this would create a condition where we would put those funds into a controller's reserve account. it's still subject to annual appropriations by the board. we do not have a development agreement or charter-mandate, so it's subject to the annual appropriations, but it's a clear signaling of our intentions to fully fund all of the services to serve this arena in a way that does not deprive service elsewhere in the city. it was very important that we had enough parking control officers to serve the site bringing people

off of their existing beats. subject to a maximum annual deposit. so the fiscal feasibility analysis is our estimate for today, but in the year of first operation, and at least every five years thereafter, or more if determined necessary by the controller, the controller's office would estimate that maximum fund, take 90% of that and put it into this controller's reserve. so 10% again available for discretionary general fund use. and then create this $1 million dual event reserve. there is built in public review and accountability, if in a future year, a future mayor, or board of supervisors, appropriates less than the amount required to fully fund these services, it triggers a series of public hearings. so that we make that very transparent. we recognize there could be conditions where economics

dictate a change of policy direction, but we, absent any of those changes want to make sure those funds are fully ascribed in the controller's reserve. as part of the fund that creates a five-member advisory committee. to advise the board the mta, the public works department, the police department, and other decision-makers on the use of monies in the fund this. is both annual budget request, as well as uses of that $1 million dual event reserve. those five representatives include designee from the golden state warriors owner, a designee from the sucf and one a resident from the dog patch potrero neighborhood and the other is a business from the mission bay dog patch, potrero and one if not all have to be members of the transportation

coordination committee, an existing committee that grew out of the creation of at&t park. and has been serving for the last 15 years or so as the central body for coordination of events and has membership from the public, private, resident interests of the neighborhood and the 5th street is a representative of the district supervisor. so these five representatives would make recommendations to the mta on the use of the funds and doing this in full transparency in a way that could we both serving events at the event, but protecting the interests of the hospital, the biotech community and the neighborhood. with that i would turn it over to barbara and we're happy to take questions and comments >> thank you, mr. vander water.

>> good afternoon, supervisors, i'm barbara moy with the department of public works. what you have before you is first a request to delegate authority for the acceptance of public infrastructure to the director of public works, as well as a delegation of authority to accept easements, offers of easements and dedications to the director of the department of real estate. very straightforward. to give you some background, in 1998 the board of supervisors adopted the mission bay redevelopment plan, and mission bay subdivision code. the redevelopment agency entered into an owner participation agreement which outlined master developer's obligations to build public infrastructure and that they would dedicate the public

infrastructure and land for acceptance bit board of supervisors for the city operation and maintenance. public infrastructure includes lights, underground utilities, et cetera to service private development. the configuration for the land foyer mission bay was established in 1998 by the board when it approved the final transfer map, including blocks 29 through 32, which is the actual area that we have in question right now. the project is located within the mission bay south redevelopment plan, and is bounded by 3rd street, south street, terry francois boulevard and 16th street. as discussed about mr. vander water, ocii certified the sf eir and public works has adopted findings. the developer [spha-eupbtd/] application for the tentative map for the project in march of 2015. the application is being processed in accordance with the mission bay subdivision

code. after action on tentative final map the board of supervisors will be asked to approve a final map, public improvement agreement. after approval of the street improvement permit, the public works will inspect the work to ensure that the work is in compliance with the improvement plans and specifications in it and if appropriate, determine that the project is complete. the final step is accept the public infrastructure by the board of supervisors. the request today is to delegate the acceptance of the public infrastructure to the director of public works and grant the director of property the authority upon director of public works' determination of completion to accept, record grant deeds and easements. i'd be happy to address any questions that you might have. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions at this time? much appreciated. mr. vander water, why don't we go to our budget analyst report first. mr. rose.

>> yes, mr. chairman and members of the committee, on page 7 of our report, we note that the sfmta's estimated cost of purchase four new light-rail vehicles and make other transportation improvements to accommodate the warrior's projects has been state $55.3 million. estimated revenues generated by the warriors $25.4 million, $previously stated revenue shortfall that is shown in table 2 on page 8 of our report. according to the sfmta, the estimated revenue shortfall of that $29.9 million for the transit improvements for the warriors' project will be financed through the sale of sfmta revenue bonds or other sources and annual debt service

projected to be paid by revenue generation from the warrior's project, shown on page 9 of the report. the sfmta expenditures for transit services to the project will be paid by fare and parking revenues generated by these services, and the mission bay transportation improvement fund will pay for sfmta service to the warrior's project not covered by the fare and parking revenues and the sfpd, the police department -- city department's estimated annual expenditures to provide services to the warrior's project are $10.1 million and will be fund by an estimated $11.6 million in revenues generated by wattior's project and results in estimated net revenues of $1.5 million, and that is shown on table 3 again on page 9 of our report. on page 10 of our report, we

note under the proposed ordinance the general funds contribution to the mission bay transportation improvement fund is capped at 90% of revenues generated by the project and ocii's system, economic and planning systems attributed to the warrior's project, generated off-site -- regarding that off-site revenues we state on page 11 of our report that the budget and legislative analyst notes that they can be be directly attributed to the warrior's project. it's noticeble to poverify if changes in hotel occupancy are due solely to visitors who come to san francisco specifically to attend warrior's game or other events at the proposed events center. such increases tax revenues might be attributable to

visitors to san francisco who do not attend events at the warrior's project. any methodology to attribute hotel and gross receipts to the warrior's project is based on assumptions and not actually accounting of tax receipts and therefore, we do not include those off-site tax revenues estimated to be $1,709,165 and that is shown in the table 3 estimates on page 9 of our report. so our recommendation, supervisors, are on the bottom of page 11 of our report, no. 1 we recommend that you amend the proposed ordinance to specify that if the annual cap of 90% of general fund revenues from the project site and events at the events center insufficient to cover sfmta's expenditures for transportation services to the warrior's project, then the warriors will be responsible to provide the additional transportation services to comply with the eir mitigation measures.

secondly we recommend that amend the proposed ordinance to specify that only tax revenues on-site by the warrior's project are included in the controller's estimates of the general fund generated for the purpose of calculating the annual fund contribution to the transportation improvement fund and we recommend that you approve this ordinance as recommended. we would be happy to responds to questions. thank you, mr. rose. supervisor tang. >> thank you. i'm wondering based on mr. rose's second recommendation about revenues generated off-site if perhaps someone can speak to exactly how the methodology was completed? i know that based on mr. rose's report retail and office were not included, but if you could speak to the recommendation in further detail, that would be great? >> sure. the supervisor through the chair, office of economic and workforce development, the

fiscal feasibility that keyser marston peer-review and the controller concurred with it conservative estimates on and off-site. it does not include revenues generated by the tenants of the two office buildings. it does not include sales of the retail that is on-site, but outside of the arena. and where there is off-site spending on parking tax, on gross receipts, on retail, on hotel tax, we have explicitly conservative assumptions. the economic model that our controller uses and the consultant uses and common across the country in planned uses similar types of methodologies, in terms of estimating these funds. and we wanted to make sure we weren't counting things, like somebody who is already visiting san francisco on holiday, and happens to go to an event, or somebody who rents a hotel room in san francisco, that

displaces somebody who would be coming to rent the same hotel room for a different event. so we expressly cut the assumptions of those out, so that we have a very conservative estimate. we spent a lot of time discussing this, in part because san francisco is blessed with high occupancy of its hotel rooms. they are about the 80-86% occupancy at any given time, but the cost per room night has gone up so much in the last several years. so that we can generate a fair amount of hotel tax on a very small number of rooms. so we are prepared to make some amendments. we have had some conversations since the introduction of the ordinance today to expressly call out some of the neighborhood membership on the advisory committee as presented here today. and also, to separately line item, as part of the controller's estimates of revenues generated both on-site and separately listed those

generated off-site. so we can fully estimate these. they are estimatable and invite our controller's office or our city attorney's office to add any particular details >> real quick, colleagues, those amendments that will vander water mentioned are reflected in the amendments i distributed earlier. there are some technical amendments solely proposed after public comment today to reflect the neighborhood concerns >> i have one small detail that the city attorney has to hand to you as well. >> okay. >> i guess, chair farrell, members of the committee, budget analyst office and to make sure what our recommendation is and why it's important. we're not actually weighing in on the fiscal financial analysis. our concern was actual general fund revenues are allocated each year to this fund. and as you will see from our estimates, we actually

estimated that direct general fund revenues would, in fact, be sufficient to cover the estimated costs of this project. we also had concerns that once you start using indirect revenues that aren't -- where there is no actually direct accounting for those revenues could not accurately state those attributable to the warriors and thought it was prudent to recommendation direct revenues generated by the project. which can be calculated based on actual tax receipts. i do want to point out when we also brought our report, there already were some differences from the eps estimate, the most significant one transfer take came in at $3.9 million. so once you are doing those kind of estimates it's really better to have the actual numbers and not the assumed number for the purposes of the fund. >> appreciate that commentary and we can certainly have that

policy discussion. mr. rosenfield, if you could touch upon your office's opinions and we had a conversation about whether this is subject to annual appropriation so we can handle it that way at the board anyway. >> good morning, ben rosenfield, controller. i will start by pointing out that what mr. rose is saying is correct here, of course, that this will fundamentally involve a projection. but our office would need to make in future years the extent the board adopts this ordinance. we do believe though and do routinely make estimates of these sorts of impacts for items that come before you for consideration. and so we do think while we can't directly account in the same way we can for property tax revenue, we can nonetheless reasonably estimate and reasonably project these indirect revenues that would be generated by the project. we have peer-reviewed the economic impact reports that are before you today.

we would envision refining our estimates and our methodology to the extent you adopt this ordinance in future years. obviously once the center opens, for example, we have a lot more information upon which to base future projections for subsequent cycles that are envisioned here. for example, one can routinely use intercept surveys and other things where you survey attendees at an event, in a statistically meaningful sample to arrive at what portions may be staying in hotels, for example? so we do think we can reasonably estimate that, but as mr. rose said it really will be an estimate. of course each year you adopt $9 billion budget which is fundamentally based on reasonable estimates as well. we can individually line item the estimate of direct revenue and indirect revenues that we're talking about. and of course, nothing here

changes the fundamental ability of the mayor and board of supervisors to not appropriate those funds to the fund in a given fiscal year to the extent that you so desire. this is not fundamentally changing the appropriation process that is envisioned in our charter. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions for supervisor tang? >> thank you. on another topic, i just wanted to -- i don't know if it's mr. vander water or someone else from sfmta, just to talk about the public transportation aspect of the project? i know obviously there is alot of excitement about the warriors come back to san francisco, but real concern expressed by the residents on west side of the city, large events happening on the other side of town, there are impacts in terms of transportation to residents. so in mr. rose's report it mentioned with the additional

purchases and some of the improvements made at transportation it would decrease time between trains from 9 to 8 minute and on paper sounds very little, but to speak to the overall impacts to transportation, given some of the changes you will be making? >> thank you. good afternoon, chair farrell, members of the committee, ed reiskin, director of transportation. i will give you a high-level view how we approach this. really the essential task here, as we went about this was to figure out how to serve the development of the project and the various array of events that it would be bringing to the mission bay neighborhood. but to do so in a way that would not adversely impact the

immediate vicinity, particularly ucsf and there was a lot of work done with ucsf, and their hospitals in the mission bay area. the other stakeholders in mission bay and importantly the residents of the area, mission bay dog patch/potrero in particular. so the transportation plan we developed was meant to serve the project, but without adverse impact elsewhere in the system. and more broadly, what we endeavored to do was ensure that both the service plan, and the financial plan were such that they would not adversely affect our operation, muni operations in particular. or our operating or capital budget. so that the service plan that was defined and the reason that we require additional railcars, require the crossovers, require the improvements to the boarding platform was expressly for that particular so we wouldn't

adversely impact the rest of muni, particularly when events are happening, when the event coincide peak hours so we couldn't adversely impact the peak hours. that is the big-picture, if you want more detail, happy to have peter albert come and fill in. >> thank you director reiskin. mr. albert. >> thank you, supervisors.

we'll go to the graphic to the screen. adam talked about this slide here that you saw here this. was really important for all of the thinking and community outreach that we put into developing this plan. the reason this baseline slide is important because people have the strong experience every day of deficiencis in the mission bay area for transportation. we wanted to make sure we were working from the baseline that is relevant to the opening of the warrior's arena. this represents all the investments happening even if we weren't building the arena. on the background of this, we layer that. and this is what constitutes those extra costs for service for investment that help to make the warrior's plan something to accommodate the crowds, whether it's a big crowd or small crowd. we developed a nimble enough plan that looks at a smaller number of extra buses, a smaller number of extra light-rail vehicles, but can size up to the fullest.

event. what we see here is the transportation planners and engineers looking at the network that we know and looking at the network that we'll have and figuring out how to still make it work for the neighborhood as a whole. there would be overcrowding on key lines unless we augmented the van ness corridor, touching to the fillmore street corridor and 16th street. that helps hit the bart station at 16th. that helps muni metro and a big number of extra riders on the t-third and also reduced the impact at any one bart station. what is so important is the regional transportation access that makes it work. the second corridor is the purrle one, the central subway, at a pretty robust frequency

with 3.5 minute headways. we would need more going into even hour service. so we show shuttles using the t-third track into the evening hours. now that was the riders transferreding at powell street, keeping the regional to local connection alive. the third line show what is similar to using at&t transit today, the green line is an service that runs along t-third to the caltrain station and the central subway does too and puts riders at embarcadero. so unlike at&t park which puts disproportionate amount at embarcadero, we have people

distributed whether they want to go north and south and include the extra yellow line. a bus shuttle to make sure that we are have an experience, that one, doesn't take buses out of other parts of town and hits the regional transit hubs that matter, ferry and transbay terminal. so that is the color diagram for the numbers that show a minimal or no impact on existing service, but to make sure we're accommodating the warriors to the point it's comfortable enough that people want to take transit again the next day. >> thank you, mr. albert. supervisor mar. >> thank you, mr. reiskin and mr. albert for the bigger-picture overview. i just had a couple of questions. so the four light-rail vehicles as part of the funds, how did you come up with that is the need? and where would those four light-rail vehicles go? >> peter albert again from mta.

we did an analysis using the same methodology done for the muni forward plan and making sure we were consistent measuring apples with apples and oranges with oranges. we know it allows us to look at overcrowding factor that we consider unacceptable. there is say aye point that people don't choose that option or that option bypasses them because it's over crowded. we took advantage of existing capacity. the beauty where this arena is vis-a-vis the timeline, reverse commute in the evening. so taking advantage of the streetcars coming to downtown at the time that we have empty seats. that way we can put people in those seats and taking those into consideration, we didn't need 12 or 9, but needed 4 and still stabilizing the overcrowding factor that would be considered unacceptable. >> we're talking about 8,000 to 9,000 people that was said

earlier that would attend a concert or warrior's game and the four light-rail vehicles plus special shuttles and that elaborate plan will ensure that that lrvs and different transportation vehicles aren't pulled from different neighborhoods and that is fully going to support the 9:00 people 9,000 people you are saying. >> that is correct. we're designing for what we call the most impacted scenario. the diagram on the computer shows some event gets up to 17,000 attendees a day. we figured how many of those might be driving? we want to be conservative, because if we are underestimating we would get into a problem. we also assigned another occupants per vehicle to make sure it's realistic and also recognized how many people walk and bike. we're able to take the mode splits and worked with a mode

split of more -- between a third and 40% of transit mode split and also know that a lot of people walk to regional transit. bart is a pretty long walk, but it's walking destination to caltrain. so these are the sort of multi-modal analysiss that are helping us come together. as adam said, the average attendance is closer to 9,000, but we design for the 17,000. because it is the point where people -- first of all, it's the warrior's arena and we know they are popular and will bring people back, but that is how we tested our system. what we really wanted to do was make sure we're smart enough to fluctuate down to the service and not run the more expensive 17,000 arena attendance. >> i had a question on the fund for the pcos, parking control officers. how much is that and how did you estimate that need?

>> what we have is a pretty elaborate spreadsheet and we could certainly bring it together, but we did a careful analysis of everything mta that included the bus operators. it included maintaining the buses and including light-rail operators and maintenance and crossover tracks. the pcos do have a cost. we worked closely with our manager of safety who knows how to handle special events. we learned a tremendous amount from america's cup and we learned a tremendous amount of what we could do more around at&t park and have as many pcos for the warriors as at&t park cha has which has almost twice as many people going to an event. you see it's not the same every time because we have to make

sure we don't burn people out. one would be an unmanaged high-level series of events without respite for the pcos and built into what would be a hiring plan that looks like a pco for the year strategy that avoids burnout and manages the events and manages the number. that is all part of the costing of the figure. >> i know a lot of your work in other projects is to make sure that people are multi-modal and not just using even just transit, but also biking in different ways to get to places. i know -- thank you to mr. welts for being here -- i know the warriors want this to be one of the most bike-friendly stadiums if not the most bike-friendly in the country. i'm just wondering for the funds used, you mentioned pedestrian and bicycle access programs. will it include bike-sharing and some bike-sharing stations, but also additional secure bike parking areas as well? >> there is parts of the

project that are costed out. there are parts of the background infrastructure that is developing. you saw for instance the blue-green that allows cycle track, that makes a huge difference in people's ease of biking to and from the facility. we talked earlier about the waterfront transportation assessment and document what is your address the bicycle sharing facility at the site. that is an important aspect, because a lot of people would pick up a bike-share station somewhere else and the capacity of a bike-share station to handle special events. one of the biggest areas is the bike valet and working with the bike coalition and they may be in the room and certainly helped us in past with testimony. how valuable bike parking is

for at&t and expanding bike valet above and beyond at&t park, even though the warriors is about half or less of attendance. >> thank you. >> colleagues any further questions at this point? okay. thank you everyone. we may have further questions after public comment. why don't we start going through public comment now. we have a number of speaker cards and if people would line up on this side of the line, we'll have two minutes per person and get going here. [ reading speakers' names ] real quick, before we start public comment, supervisor kim is here and her district lies

in and she just shuttling in between committees. >> thank you, chair farrell. i want to appreciate the members of the public who will let me make opening commentsment i'm currently in land use committee over a project that is also being built in my district, the 5m project. i just wanted to make a couple of comments about the legislation before us. first of all i'm excited to see this project is finally pursuing approvals after a 3-year process. as many of you remember it was originally proposed at pier 30-31 [#2*-/] and 32 and also district 6 and moved to a new location where it bought its own dirt, blocks 29-32. i just have to say i was very much willing to work with the warriors on the originally proposed site to make it work for the existing neighborhood and with the incredible transportation challenges that were proposed from that site.

but i do have to say that the new site in mission bay is much more favorable, and it's because it's still a neighborhood that we're building. allows us to put into place infrastructure and other institutions to make it more favorable for the traffic concerns that i know many of our residents have as they are squeezed between the current giant's stadium and new warriors's arena. this provides a complementary mixed-use district development and further establishes it as a destination. it will provide the state of the art arena and training facilities for the 2015 nba champions, as well as event for concerts and other large events. i'm glad to see one of the event centers prominent neighbor ucsf is able to offer

endorsement, working with the city and warriors through their concerns regarding traffic. i also want to recognize the commendable outreach of over 18 months' of stakeholder outreach that has gone into the support of the biotech community, the mission bay cac and i see chair kernwood is here in the audience, as well as ocii and the planning commission. although this project is generating millions in fees and tax revenues the events center is being proposed without city subsidies and will not cost taxpayers dollars. on the contrary project will be a large driver of revenue growth and provide annual contribution to our city funds. for this reason i believe and i support it's reasonable to utilize a portion of these fees and taxes generated by the project to mitigate impacts. this fund has been established to address the primary concerns of transportation, very much listening to the workers and residents of the area, to

issues of crime and littering that also result from large events. to ensure we can fully fund strategies that minimize the events center's impact on the neighborhood. i'm sure many comments have already been previously made on what this legislation will do and i'm glad to see we'll be dedicating the funds whether it's parking control officers to ensure that the city has a stadium and arena, while ensuring that our workers and residents can continue to exist in a livable neighborhood and community. so i do want to thank all of the partis that were involved in making this a reality today and thank the bunt budget committee for hearing this item. >> thank you, supervisor kim. with that we'll continue public comment. >> thank you very much and good afternoon. my name is esther sterns .

transit, crowd management and the general ambience of the neighborhood. so i'm very appreciative of the work that the warriors and the neighborhood groups have done working together to create this transit plan. i don't think there is any way that any of us can know what it's like to have this events center in mission bay and while we appreciate planning we want to ensure there is a flexibility to the planning, so that the city can be responsive, when we actually see what it's like to have the events center there. that is what i think is special about the work that people have done. i think it's really a flexible plan that accounts -- that gives us options, if things turn out to be different than people anticipated. i think as the southeast corridor grows, the city has to keep investing in transit for

this neighborhood and i think the warriors, the revenue associated with the warrior's arena gives us steps and i hope you approve the transportation improvement fund. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> mr. chairman, and members of the committee, i represent the bay area transportation working group. we are not opposing this project. we are somewhat neutral. but we are concerned about the impacts of the arena on san francisco, both the physical impacts and fiscal impacts. it sounds like your staff has done a lot of work to try to encompass all of the physical impacts. that means mainly traffic and parking and i can see that can be mitigated. if they have covered it thoroughly and it sounds like they have done a lot work on it, it may be okay. as far as the fiscal impact is concerned there are two aspects that concerns us. one is what mr. rose brought

up, you and that is are the revenue sources truly there for you? or is there some doubt about that? in other words, if history and experience is any guide, the revenues almost always are not as great as they are projected. and the costs tend to be more. so there is that concern. the other would be the degree of fixity as to your leverage over the developer. do you really have the legal need -- i mean the legal power to exact whatever it takes to cover those city costs? it sounds like mr. rose has raised one concern there. i would enforce that and say that really ought to be looked at rather carefully. i can see why a private developer wants to use municipal bond financing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the financier, namely the city should be at undue risk. thank you. >> thank you very much.

next speaker, please. >> my name is john and i'm a principle at economic consulting and here to speak to the fiscal impact of the events center. first as to the issue of taxpayer dollars not being used for the arena. it's true they are not being used to build. they are being used to subsidize in effect through the use of the revenues from the arena and providing traffic mitigation and infrastructure development. so there is say form of subsidy going and the gap between costs and revenues becomes perilously small and the contribution to the arena to general fund revenues is likely to be quite small if you factor in the uncertainty over the estimates of costs. it's not clear there is a substantial contribution to the

general fund. i have a report here i was asked to produce that looks at alternative development on the site. very similar development. current development is two commercial buildings one retail and arena. if you instead you take the arena out and build a facility that could host biotechnology companies of which there are wide variety in the neighborhood. what i found is the net impact on revenues of switching to biotech instead of an arena would be a positive impact on general fund revenues very conservatively estimated at $2 million per year. if you get a little more creative, in the construction of the building, you can raise those estimates to, as much as $7 million a year. so you can think of that as being the cost of bringing the warriors to town. you are giving up between $2 and $7 million of general fund revenue and to emphasize a biotech facility could house up

to 2,000, perhaps more employees, whereas the arena will employee a mere 500 people 6789 thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please >> my name is iggy and my wife and i own a house and business in the mission. our son was born at ucsf with severe heart congenital defects. they took great care of us. we love that hospital and we love san francisco. we have invested our lives in the city. we strongly oppose the proposal to build the warriors arena across the street from the children's hospital. we have two concerns. first, when our son has a medical emergency, that is the only hospital he can go to in the hospital city that knows how to treat his condition. we are very concerned that the

arena traffic will prevent our son from getting the care he needs. asking familis to deal with the noise and traffic from an arena on top of everything else they are going through is just adding insult to injury. ucsf leadership has been bullied into going along with this plan and in doing so they have let us down. i hope the board of supervisors will be brave enough to stand up for our families and our cities against big-money interests trying to build this arena. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is patti and i'm a san

francisco native. as well as a potrero hill homeowner for going on 34 years now. so being a life-long san francisco resident, i'm sure you can well-imagine the numerous developments i have been witness to and you i continue to observe today and right now we can't go two blocks without seeing another construction crew. i have seen these impacts both positive and negative in the community and know those developments that succeed are spearheaded by organizations such as the golden state warrior who have been willing to come to the communities and hear our needs and you our concerns. i think the giant's at&t park actually symbolizes a development landmark that becomes an integral part of our community and i believe that the warriors are committed to taking the same thoughtful approach with their events

center. for these reasons and we have raised our children and they are life-long fans of everything in san francisco and all that is san francisco, i would like you to approve the transportation >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. howard, for the sierra club. when san francisco first contemplated the downtown we now have because bart was coming, the first thing we did was limit the amount of parking you could provide for any office buildion. . so san francisco at that time limited parking to 2/10th parking space and here we are the rest of the city has one parking place. and then we hear about all of the traffic congestion. if we had the downtown controls in this area and downtown is

what? a mile-and-a-half away, we would have very little of the downtown traffic congestion and wouldn't be worried about people having to drive their kids in emergencis to hospitals and muni would work better. all of this kind of stuff would work so much better and yet, here we are, we have almost approved it, 800 some more odd parking spaces, when 100 or so for the presidents and higher ups this work in the office buildings would be plenty. you know what you do that, what you are doing is really creating money for muni, because the parking fees and the parking taxes that was the next thing we did a few years later, would be so much more on less parking places and the neighborhood meters would have to be so much higher to take care of these things and muni gets all of that money. so here we are, i'm happy we're talking about money, but muni could get so much more, the city would get so much more if we really had a sensible

parking plan for this project. otherwise, it's wonderful. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is jasmyn and i'm here to read a statement from one of our supporters who couldn't make it here, bruce agot, the transportation rep and board member of the rincon neighborhood association and wanted to provide comment as a resident of mission bay. i'm very pleased to see the approach taken by the warriors and city to address traffic and overall transportation concerns in regards to the warrior's events center. although it's a complex set of issues the warriors working with the city and ucsf have developed a best in class approach and agreement. in addition to performing a thorough eir, the parties listened very closely to the concerns of residents and businesss and they have come to agreement on several fronts to

ensure transportation and other quality of life issues are resophed resolved through the approach including a development of in-depth public transportation plans including local hospital plans. a committed and secured funding source, the transportation improvement fund and lockbox agreement secures funding necessary to provide services, 3 stakeholder involvement, the creation of transportation improvement fund advisory committee consisting of representatives from each key stakeholder group and 4, accountability. under worst-case scenario, where traffic cannot be mitigated the warriors have agreed to limit overlapping events to 12 a year. a self-generated funding mechanism, stakeholder review, accountability and pre-determined corrective actions, this should be a model for all future san francisco projects. thank you. >> thank you very much.

next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisors, thank you for hearing me out this afternoon, concerning the warrior's arena and transportation package. i'm originally from seat seattle and when the sonics came to the city and said you needed to upgrade the building the city council said no. therefore the basketball team left seattle and went to organic oklahoma city. i think we're very beneficial receiving a privately subsidized arena versus falling on the taxpayer's shoulders. within a mile there is about 9,000 parking space as valuable for visitors and great bart transportation from east bay to san francisco.

to incentivize them and i ask that you please support this transportation package today. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. [ reading speakers' names ]. my name is eddie conrad. i would like to say that first and foremost, i am a fan of san francisco before i'm a fan of anything else. i love this city. we're a world-class metropolitan facility and one thing that amazes me the warrior's organization, whenever an issue comes up, a negative issue, they have come up with a cohesive, conscientious and responsive plan to resolve those issues and would be easier for

ambulance and emergency vehicles to get to the hospital on game day than on a regular game day because of the warrior's commit ment to designate lanes solely for getting to the hospital. the taxes that would be generated will be great for the city and the infrastructure. the jobs that will add and also i think we always talk about hidden costs and underestimating projects' complete costs. i think we're also underestimating how much benefit there will be because of the unforeseen things that will happen with this type of venue. for instance, republican or democratic convention. all of these things kind of bring tax dollars and tax money into the city. my job, i meet people from all over the world, from paris, milan, beijing and they all say the same thing, when they get money enough to visit a place, they go to san francisco. they don't go to oakland, or

santa clara, they come to san francisco. so with all due respect, would i like to quote the words of another chairman of the board, who was when he was asked how he thought about san francisco many, many years ago he said, now there is one grown-up swinging town, baby. that is what frank sinatra said when he came here. i don't want to let them down. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm joel. i'm an electrician with electrickal workers 6 in san francisco. i grew up in the city playing basketball at the high school here, not playing basketball at college here, but attending college here in san francisco. i want to speak on behalf of our labor, the electricians local 6 and management today. the san francisco electrical contractors association, both of who are very much in favor of the project and think the

transportation improvement fund is adequate than following the project through the process, speaking at the board of regents. both unanimous decisions last week, at the ocii commission and the planning commission. we'd like to also state we have been working closely with the office of economic and workforce development and city build to ensure that san francisco residents have a chance to work on this job. we're hiring residents. our contractors employee residents and we have members that live in the nearby vicinity and we have contractors based nearby the project site. these contractors are also inin favor of the project because this project is encouraging very fair competition management-wise. our companies pay their payroll taxes here and gross receipts here and the warriors have committed to working with us and our laborers and we would

like to support the project today. >> thank you very much, next speaker, please. >> committee members my name is chris keller, a residence of las altos and i know about the work you do and want to thank you for the time and effort you put into your jobs. i'm here today as a member of the public to support this program, and this project, this arena for all of the same reasons that others have mentioned. i'll make my comments brief. i do currently drive for lyft and uber as a contractor. i'm not here to represent either of those organizations, but to the extent that they are changing the way that people move around the city, to alleviate traffic and parking concerns, and that is something that is helpful. i want to note in a couple of these meetings that i have been in, the amazing collaborative

approach that the warriors have taken to solve problems that have come up, to resolve concerns in the community that have had issues with a project of this magnitude. rick welts and his team are a world-class organization and not only are the warriors currently creating a new type of game plan on the court, that other organizations are trying to copy, you can see that here in san francisco, with the collaboration between this organization, and the city, represents a playbook for other professional sports organizations to copy to, mimic the kind of success that they have had. lastly, i just want to say that i am a father. my wife and i have four girls, and raising kids is all about creating family memories. and for me and my wife, that includes watching games on tv and taking our kids to fun and interesting things. this arena, the images that i have seen so far is something

that i look greatly forward to taking my kids to. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisor. my name is stephany, and i run the gardens, which is san francisco's first transportable community garden. i just wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. but one of the things i know is that as i tried to get my support for nomad, i wanted to say that the warriors have done an amazing job to actually ask the community what they want? i'm just very proud to be part of that conversation, and to just tell you guys also, my background is in architect and urban design and think that the transportation plan that they have put in place is really very strong and robust. and i'm very supportive of them coming into the neighborhood, and would actually ask you guys to consider approving. thank you so much.

>> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisor farrell, supervisor tang, supervisor mar, my name is corinne and i chair the citizens advisory committee and i rent the mission bay cac on the ballpark, mission bay transportation committee. when the warriors first proposed the arena at pier 30-32, they listened to us when we said were were most concerned about transaction transportation issues. traffic and transportation are the keys to our neighborhood concerned abouton 13:21:33 transportation issues. concerned abouton surviving this especially after

15 years of the giants and by approving the eir and by approving this transportation fund, you are helping us to move forward, hopefully with some flexibility. so that as we learn what the impacts are, we can address them as we have been with the bt cc over the years. i ask you to approve the transportation improvement fund and committee and let us move forward. thank you. >> thank you, ms. woods. next speaker, please. i will call a few more people as well. david lombardi, tony mobley. mike mcgongaling. >> i'm representative of the sheet workers in san francisco and we applaud rick welts and his team for collaborating with the building and construction trades council on this project.

it will benefit local restaurants and local hotels, and furthermore, it will create thousands of good-paying jobs for local residents and contractors as my colleague alluded to. to take it a little further, it will also create career pathways for local youth through our state-approved building apprenticeship program. good paying jobs and pathways for kids in the bay view and hunters point and kids that are often overlooked that won't go on to be doctors, but highly skilled building trades people that our economy desperately

need and urge you to support it. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is diane gray and i'm a native san franciscan, homeowner in the bayview-hunters point community and also the executive director of bay view association for youth, a college access program for the bay view middle and high school students. the warrior's proposed development is a win for our city and a win for our community in the southeast sector. the transportation improvement fund as it is currently drafted will also benefit the bay view transit system. last week the project received around of unanimous endorsements on the dine and design and environmental review and they have been strong partners in our city that --

thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thanks for having me. any name is mike mcgonagle and i live in mission bay and strongly support the warrior's project. when i wife and i bought our home over three years ago, we knew that the neighborhood around us would change and change in a big way and we looked forward to the way. for those in the neighborhood, that change hasn't happened fast enough. this project will replace acres of empty space with a venue that san francisco has always needed and has lacked. it will also come with substantial transportation improvements that we have heard about today. those of you that think more biotech is the answer to a more livable neighborhood, i encourage you to walk the area at 7:00 or later.

you will soon realize that all of us who live in mission bay already know, nothing is going on. these workers arrive in the morning and go home in the evening. leaving behind an empty and quiet area where crime can and does take place. the arena is a gift to the city and our neighborhood. it it will bring a vibrancy that has been sorely missed and will showcase the diversity that makes this city great. i encourage you to support this. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is stewart canning, i'm a resident of mission bay. thank you for having us here today. i'm also a 10-year resident of san francisco, and my entire ten years here i have worked

for non-profit organizations that serve the community, and my goal, my work is to invest in san francisco and make san francisco a better place. so you have heard a lot of arguments, and a lot of value things that the warriors' stadium will bring to san francisco. i think there are some important discussion points that are also been raised about how we can bring the statement effectively into the community, but supervisor kim's most important point, i think, mission bay is a community that is building. so we have an opportunity to do it right, and clearly, the warriors are committed to do it the right. overall, i think all of us in this room are for the warriors' stadium and want san francisco to be the best city it can possibly about. with that, it's absolutely clear in my mind that the warriors are committed to that too, and we should bring the stadium to mission bay. i hope that you will approve all of the proposals before you today. thank you very much. >> thank you very much.

next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, my name is david lombardi and i live in the mission. just echoing and following-up up on that comment making san francisco the best city it could possibly be, i think a project like this is absolutely necessary for san francisco to be able to hold itself in world-class status and to zoom out and remember that very rarely does a project come to a city, you either hear about projects bankrupting cities and the warriors have come here to do something great for san francisco and have shown us the transportation plan that will not only assuage the plans to get to the arena. being a person who lives in the mission, i drive and use muni and understand how the flows of

traffic and how some of the pains in getting around the city work. in this location, where you can get down to the bart 16th station or uptown, i think this is the most untapped transportation potential this city has on the eastern side. and with the plan that the warriors have presented, i think we can tap into the transportation potential at a cost that they're basically funding. so i urge you to approve this plan, it's a dream come true for a city that really needs this >> thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is howard picket, i just wanted to tell you that san francisco travel is committed to this project because we really believe it will create thousands of jobs and generate millions of dollars in economic activity for the city.

as know travel and tourism is one of our big economic drivers in the city. last year we welcomed over 18 million overnight visitors that supported about 87,000 jobs, and contributed $665 million to the general fund. while the numbers are very impressive, there is more we need to do to be competitive with cities. with the renovation of moscone center and our major customers, meeting and convention planners still point out how badly we need an indoor event venue like the one being proposed here this. project will give san francisco a spectacular venue to address this need and its excellent design, we believe will make the center easily
