in less than a year you own this marina and own the displacement that occurs. 1st off, it's unfortunately a sarcastic congratulations that is due you have officially evicted the san francisco there's no longer a san francisco dragon boat coverage they have now move. numerous supervisors have never supported quite frankly they've never supported this marina. supervisor avalos,compos, kim,
11:07 pm
all have not supported this marina and i think that supervisor compos has probably written you a letter about this. the reason that dating and water ways refused to endorse. i'm sure that loan report is not in your packets. it went on and on and on. the staff agreed upon a conditional approval but even them the dpw refused this approval. your hearing different things from your staff and from the public and from the developers and
11:08 pm
that has to be yours to bear but i have a quick and short hand out and i hope you get to it. the basic problem is it back in 2005 there was a process to approve a marina. the proposed marina is 60% bigger. the developers claim that is the same because it has the same amount slips at a different arena in this proposed approval.this is the heart of the matter. the heart
11:09 pm
of the matter between the developers and public opinion about this arena and i hope you approve this marina. and i have included for your staff are packet in your package. >>do we have in our packet? >>i do not believe it is. >>can we have a copy? >>thank you. >>do you have enough copies there? >>here is one more for your record. this should be in your record. thanks. >>any other public comment? seeing no other public, then we have the report by the treasure

11:18 pm
>>thank you. >>any other questions? >>mr. beck, we know that we will be going but when did the renovations to the center happen? >>and where are we at now? >>we really began around january 2015 and the developer for the marina began to move forward with additional planning and communications begin with the sailing center in march 2016 i'm sorry 2015 was the 1st time that the sailing center put forth the idea or articulated the need
11:19 pm
for a 1600 square foot sailing area and it was july of last year that they came up with the idea came up with the idea of the 500 ft.2 buffer. so we have been back and forth with the sailing center with t i.e. trying to understand the needs of the sailing center and how we could potentially adapt to their facilities. >>thank you and i asked that question because i asked that specifically and i think it's very important for us and for the public and the stakeholders to understand that times instructed our to come together
11:20 pm
with our stakeholder in negotiations and everyone can come together but the timeline is very important because it some point when you come back to tell us where we are we again need to make sure that everyone is on this page and how we get to where we are. and thank you for that update and whenever you speak on that matter it is very important because people are beginning to look at this issue very close to now. but let it be said very clearly that yes, we take our jobs here very seriously and we still asked for the parties to go back to the drawing board and make something happen.and i don't think that there has been any other issue that has taken a
11:21 pm
timeline that is so long. so let that be said and let that be documented. thank you sir. >>thank you. and on that there will be a time to consider the merits of the proposals that will be before us on the sailing center and the marina. this is not the time to discuss it but certainly we want to make sure thatthat we are paying attention to this issue this is something that we are looking carefully at and we would like to see the sailing center go forward because you provide for men services for the city and at the same time you have a long-term commitment to the marina so we hope that
11:22 pm
you have productive conversations and i know that the staff is working to try to help to resolve those issues. that will come later. when the time is right before us. yes. >>yes. >>are there any other comments on the public on the directors report? hearing none, we have item for. >>item number 4,there were communications from the navy and from other supervisors there were also communications with the navy and with others. >>thank you. any questions from the board? any questions from the public? if not, item number 5. >>item number 5 other matters of business from the board of directors? >>any other items from the board? from the public? if
11:23 pm
not item number 6 please. >>item number 6 is the consent agenda and that isall matters listed hereunder constitute a consent agenda, are considered to be routine by the authority board and will be acted upon by a single vote of the authority board. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the authority board so requests, in which event the matter shall be removed from the consent agenda and considered as a separate item. >> i would like to make a motion to remove item 6 h.
11:24 pm
>> for item 6h, i would like for peter beck to come up and give a description. i also have staff from the port here as well. >>thank you, on section 2 scope of the project we have accepted deletion of the line for the vision of the sculptures above and beyond what the port has covered with their self-insurance. the port will be in consultation with risk management in the city attorney
11:25 pm
and self-insurance is sufficient and we did not feel it would be necessary to require the port to have this additional layer of insurance in place. a revised copy of the loan agreementat the head of the meeting on page 1 you will see the language that we are proposing to remove from the document that is here for your consideration. so, at that time i would like to ask dan hudakof port staff to come address the board for minute. >> >>welcome dan. >>thank stan hudak of the port of san francisco. i would like to say i am thrilled to be able to be here to speak to the commission. the port is thrilled and excited about the opportunity to display this historic sculpture in generosity of tida. i hope this is found as a win-win
11:26 pm
situation where the port does the art conservatory preservation on this and makes it suitable to be displayed in a public place these 2 sculptures. both in that temporary place at the port property and in future placement at treasure island and i hope it also provides a connection between the san francisco waterfront and treasure island with people having these sculptures in both places and it's likely that we would do some interpretive plaque explaining where it comes from and the relationship has to treasure island. if you have any question either of us would be happy to address those. >>dan, for the public could you please describe a little bit about the sculptures themselves. >>the sculptures are part of the worlds fair exhibition and they were done by an
11:27 pm
african-american artistand you're going to test my knowledge here. sgt. johnson is the artist and he was a san francisco sculpture and they are about 12 feet tall and 9 feet long and 3 feet wide. they are a cement-based piece of art. meaning like a stucco material with the cementitious cover of a male and female figure and they make prominent entry features. they will be located at the ports new cruise terminal at james herman cruise terminal at gate 27 at a prominent location so we have a basic infrastructure there and we need some improvement on the site to make this an appropriate destination for visitors as they can be greeted by these as they walk through the cruise terminal plaza. >>thank you very much any other questions? >>thank you for your presence
11:28 pm
here. the african american historical society is extremely excited with the opportunity to isplay these here. we are excited and we are willing to work with the port to make this happen andeven went further to look at all of the exhibits that we have in maybe we could collaborate with that and we could loan them to the port so that you could display them. let's make this work. there are others that we are aware ofand it may be that we can jointly educate the public on the legacy that all these individuals had made in their contribution to san francisco. their partnership is much
11:29 pm
needed and we know that we have that with you and your department. >>that is wonderful to hear and there will be more opportunities as we further display on our waterfront. so thank you for bringing it to our attention and thank you for the offer. >>thank you sir. >>any other comments from the director's office? any comments from the public? could i have a resolution? >>all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay >>the ayes have it. next item is item number 7 >>know the rest of the resolution. >>the next item is item number 7

11:34 pm
this fiscal year we will exceed the current year revenues. this wasn't dissipated when we prepared last year's budget in this budget will be balanced by prior year fund balances to supplement current revenues. there will not be an opportunity to make a contribution to our revenues this year. for 2016 and 2017 some of the community programs that are going to be continuing next year are the ymca operations the treasure island clinic, the tie-dyed programs the tool works in custodial services program and rubicon's landscape management of the landscape on the island as well as the areas for the residential areas and neighborhoods. and
11:35 pm
there are also revenues being preserved in next year's budget. there will be a rebound in revenue next year despite the loss of several buildings. we are still projected toincrease slightly here with the residential leasing levels expected to return with levels consistent in past years. we will also be increasing the budget for the tie-dyed job broker program and that is a program that is funded by ticd we will pass those revenues on to tye dye.the system engineering for her services and development firm a and setting up funds for
11:36 pm
the arts commission for an art commission fun. elements that will be decreased in next year's budget will be tida revenue for a spell and the revenue details and the work orders in the last 2 items are not a reduction in service but adjusting the items to reflect past trends. this does not include in the budget 2 1/4
11:37 pm
million dollars and we will make a final payment to the fcta. next year we do expect to exceed revenues but we expect to balance these revenues with our fund balance revenues without requiring tida to cover our total expenses. >>i be happy to answer any questions that you may have. >>thank you. any questions? >>thank you mr. beck. one question i have has to do with the inter-agency or our sister brother agencies. don't we have the ability to negotiate
11:38 pm
with them to make sure hat with the puc and things of that nature that we can recover some of those costs from them? >>our costs are committed to the staff hours that have been committed for the reviewed. it is for actual hours worked. it is not a lump sum. the structure that we have here on our program is similar in its concept to that employed on other projects like peers 70 development, mission bay candlestick point. the one difference being here are that because tida has the leasing revenues we are paying for those services directly and if we end up reaching that point
11:39 pm
where so many of our facilities have been lost to development that our revenues are no longer covering her expensive then they are required to fill our budget shortfall and other programs reimburse the city agencies directly for those services. >>thank you. i understand that. again my opinion or my comment is that they could absorb some of the cost because those agencies have a lot of money in their budgets but anyway the resolution is to approve the budget. >>mr. dunlop. >>thank you very much. i just wanted to note that the continuing programs in the community programs that we in
11:40 pm
the staff support for such a small section of san francisco we really do a lot of supportive work and i think it is great and obviously we will continue as the development goes forward in fact there will be opportunities to support the communities and i totally support the budget. thank you. >>before we take the second and the vote are there any comments from the public? now i am seeing none so i need a second. >> i second.

island community development under the state of california's affordable housing and sustainable communities program, and to accept and expend funds as set forth in the grant application, subject to approval of the city's board of supervisors, and authorizing the treasure island director to enter into an indemnification agreement with treasure island community development.we did woy >> and with tie-dye to submit the final application.that i ahsc program s administered by the strategic growth council it is a target tax supported rent program and this is a part of transportation housing and infrastructure projects with specific objectives to help support the development of projects thatachieve greenhouse gas reductions in benefit disadvantaged communities. just a word since we been talking quite a bit in recent months about affordable housing
11:43 pm
and financing for affordable housing and the need for additional funds this application does not include funds for initial affordable housing units. that is because it is really a timing related issue. the 1st affordable housing projects will not begin construction in till 2018 and we want to be able to complete that work within the timeframe set in this year's grant application for the deadlines to expend funds in this years grants. but we do intend to expend for affordable housing funds in future cycles and we have an additional transportation scope that we will be able to include in
11:44 pm
future applications to bolster affordable housing as well. >>in terms of the scope of the application, the bulk of the improvements that are in the application are in transportation -related infrastructure. the 3 ac transit buses that are required to initiate initial transit service is anticipated to begin in 2019 through bus stops at the mobile homes and this will provide 4.8 miles of bike facilities 4.8 miles of bike facilities and 1.2 miles of additional bike facilities and a new bike share station that would be located adjacent to
11:45 pm
the ferry shelter. also there is construction of the ferry plaza itself with the seating and landscaping and all of the features that that will include as well as streetscape amenities throughout the initial sub phase areas including lighting, benches, bike racks, wayfinding and other street improvements. and then finally for many of us most excitedly we have been working with tie-dye to develop a concept for the and pull program. this is around tihdi regimen but also around tida
11:46 pm
regimen and the school. is to work with tihdi and timma for the initial operations of a shuttle program. the applications are due by the end of 20th of june and wewill be accepting any proceeds. >>thank you. let me just say that this program is one of the few state programs available for affordable housing and transportation unfortunately over the years that state has
11:47 pm
less and less affordable housing programs. i have worked with this program and with the state as this has been developed i'm glad that we are at least putting an application trying to get our share of the funds. we just wish that there was more funding available for the great need that we have in the city as well as all over california. i would like to note that david hsu who is our assemblyman in san francisco is the chair of the housing committee that this department is under so i think you have some good friends in sacramento
11:48 pm
and i hope that we will be successful with this application. the application just as mr. beck said is just for transportation but really what we are interested in is getting our share of funding in order to be able to subsidize the affordable housing because only through that inclusion of state and possibly federal tax credits are we going to be able to make our housing affordable enough for the people that we want to serve. so certainly i urge your support for this resolution. any comments? >>yes, given the expertise that we have here in the application i think would be very great if you could let us look at the draft so we can see how you put it together the package. one of the things that has already been established that the treasure island issued development of one of 6 projects worldwide in the us that has already been established as a global
11:49 pm
sustainable community development so there is no other project like that in california or anywhere. so we have that moving forward.tida has spent a considerable amount of time looking at the transportation infrastructure and we are still highly interested in no other project in the bay area can match the emphasis that we are putting into the transportation infrastructure and also the tihdi and the homeless initiative and the initiative on homeless development and housing. with our correspondence, the way we put
11:50 pm
this application together will be the key. we want to make sure that even given all the items that we have going forward that we had put an emphasis on the application. so, we would like to offer our expertise in helping to make that application a stellar one. okay mr. back? >> thanks kate. >>i think this is a wonderful program and i do hope that we get this 10 1/2 million dollars it would really help us to improve the infrastructure what are those funds already counted in our initial budget assumptions. if for example we do not get this approved, what would happen to the 3 bus stops in the 3 transit buses, what
11:51 pm
would happen to those? >>most of the scope that is part of this project are developer obligations under the dda. they would then be eligible for reimbursement for the ifd and cfd that are already formed and to the extent thatwe are able to draw more resources to the overall financing program thatprimarily consists of the ift and cfd to the extent that we are able to fully reimburse the tida eligible cost and the other thing at the ifd funds is our
11:52 pm
public financing program and also at the sea level program. and in the eventthat we get this reimbursement than this would mean that our budgets for these programs would flow to other programs. >>so to the extent that this is growing this could have an impact on several things. >>to the extent that it's growing the overall pie it will have a trickle-down effect on the other things that we need to fund.>>when will we know if we get this application approved? >>in october. mr. pancoast is here he and nelly fong have been
11:53 pm
instrumental in preparing this application. >>let's go get it. >>are there any other comments from the board. if not, from the public please? >> >>good afternoon commissioners sherry from treasure island homeless development initiative. yes we will be applying for funds in the future when the time is right for the affordable housing program we will be recording our efforts with the mayor's development housing. we will need affordable transit options for our residents and were excited be part of this application. we have met with this great program that we can use as a model and we can use as a project that we have already coordinated through the public defender's office and the mta
11:54 pm
to essentially do similar kind of work that we want to do which is providing supplemental transportation for people that have limited access to affordable transportation to do things like go to the doctor, pick up groceries, go to various schools, and so forth. so, we are really excited to be part of the application. we supported wholeheartedly. we would absolutely be trying to get every dime we could for affordable housing the future. thank you. >>another win of course is that all of these projects would be subject to the 25% hiring goal in the 50% san francisco hiring goal so all of these projects would be fully part of the whole job program that serves low income san franciscans >>thank you. >>any other comments? if not can i have a motion and a second.i motion.
11:55 pm
11:56 pm
please. >>item 9 is presentation by san francisco department of emergency management on san francisco emergency response plan tsunami annex revisions and treasure island outreach. >> a tsunami is when 2 waves come together. us do not me is not one wave it is usually more than one wave in this nami is not the largest. it can last for hours and its damaging currents can last for several days. there is also a number of subsequent hazards that can result from a tsunami. there
11:57 pm
are numerous things that we have to plan for. in san francisco there are distant source, regional source and the resources the nominees. that depends on where we are from where the earthquake occurred.i near source would be like the tsunami that happened off the coast of alaska. we have had 54 tsunamis observed in san francisco since 1850 and in 18
11:58 pm
yours it is a very very short of time in geological perspective so even though they are a low probability event they do have a high consequence so that is why we plan for them. we do make sure that we are prepared to handle the consequences. >>we utilize tsunami maps that were utilized by by the state by the ccsf. the maps are a combination of regional source tsunamis. and as you can see the map is entirely in inundation zone. so it's a worst-case scenario. how do we get information to the public? there is an emergency alert system that comes through the radio and television. there is an
11:59 pm
outdoor siren system and we do test them. there is alertsf which if something happens in the city if you sign up they will text or email you. there is a normal test that we do of our system in a textbased system of the social media that we use like twitter and it was supposed to be just an internal test but it went out to everybody that was described in the system. so within 3 minutes we came to that and we use that as an opportunity to educate people about tsunamis and promote alertsf as a tool. and also we will make mobile announcements if we have time to tell people to evacuate.
12:00 am
all of these systems are great for dealing with a regional or a distance source tsunami. in a near source an army where we would have 15 minutes to inundation that would be generated by an earthquakeit would be very significant we know that there would be damage to infrastructure and impacts to personnel that have torun these systems. so, we have plans in place so that we have things in line before this would damage our infrastructure or impact of personnel. and also we would ask that w
