7:03 pm
were honored to the transportation secretaries of the united states and the state to visit the transit center and seeing it on the same day was a great opportunity to highlight phase one and we briefed them on phase two and the delivery and funding needs. as you know they both administer some of the funding streams for phase two. namely on the federal front is the new start front and the state front is the cap and taid funds. they were impressed with the progress on phase one and pleased to hear we're moving forward with phase two. the federal transit administration was declared and i went to a workshop on capital improvement programs that was held in july in washington, d.c. and the workshop had valuable discussions of funding of transit projects and update on the latest status of the new
7:04 pm
starts program and the process. during the meeting i took the opportunity to meet with the leaders of the build america bureau at the u.s. department of transportation. the bureau was created to streamline the various federal credit programs and grants programs and provide assistance to grantee focus they need credit. we intend -- it was -- it's built to be intended to be a one stop shop for loans. we discussed the status of our existingtiva loan with them and briefed on phase two and our desire to seek federal loans on phase twotivia or rif and we intend to continue the discussions with them. i attend the transit construction workshop in new york. this workshop brought agencies throughout the nation to discuss the challenges during construction and the procurement methods they're using to
7:05 pm
procure construction. it was very informative for me to be there and informative for us to listen to that because as we move forward with exploring the various delivery methods that for phase two the discussions were very valuable. i do want to thank director reiskin for bringing the workshop to my attention. thank you. on august 18 i attended the california transportation commission meeting alongside my colleagues from ac transit and the golden gate transit district to advocate for them to approve a low cost lease for the bus storage facility. this was an item on their agenda for information and we both advocated that we should get a low cost or no cost lease for our bus service facility as well as the golden gate station, golden gate district parking lot that they're using now which
7:06 pm
caltrans owns. they will take the item as an action item in the october meeting and we will be there to advocate for that and hoping to get a break on the lease. several of the commissioners indicated support of reduced lease and caltrans proposed that the lease be 50% of fair market value. we're asking for less than that as well so we're hoping for a good outcome at the october meeting. last we successfully completed our intern program this summer, and we have a video from the interns from the transbay transit center and we had interns with controls and turner and webcor and you will see that video and with that thank you very much. >> okay. the next item is the
7:07 pm
construction update. >> good morning directors. i'm going to cover the construction activities and then i will be turning it over to ron to finish up with the budget schedule and challenges for this past period so starting with the recent activities with construction we updated our graphics that we have been using now for a few months as we go from the concrete to the other follow up trades. it's a rather busy graphic but has important details on it. the transit center is split up 22 slides and this is from the ground level to the roof top to the glass installed to the awning and roof top stuff is that is happening so a lot of good information in
7:08 pm
here and a lot of good progress over the last two months. in the lower part, the lower concourse and the train box it shows up clearly in the graphic that all the work has been on walls in the lower concourse. the heart of the wall there and the purplish area is where we're getting walls in and permanent hour and the utilities running as soon as possible and on the bus ramp it shows the graphics and a lot of work that has been happening on clementina and harrison street as the bug ramp work progresses well. breaking it down here's a detail. we will have that in every one of the presentations a rendering versus a actual slide in this case looking from mission street south to first street and you have the tower on the left. we have the other building,
7:09 pm
1,011th on the right-hand side and look at our awnings and very similar without the trees and a couple of panels so it's coming together and we'll add that into the presentation just to show progress. in the western zone a lot of work at the west end of stair 201, fireproofing and a lot of off site and on site fire utility in that zone. in the western zone the picture in the upper right is showing the glass enclosures and up to the roof top and the bottom right shows the continued work that has happened on the awning and it's instilled for the central zone except for a few of the penrose patterns at this point and on the eastern zone finishing out some of the concrete elements. you also see the grand hall and it's the critical path on the project and getting the class enclosure to the glass floor
7:10 pm
above the grand hall is part of the taghtd and heavy activity in the area and taking shape and looking like a facility making good progress and on the bus ramp the focus you know has been is in this particular picture you see msc mechanically stabilizer and one of the retaining walls between folsom and harrison and that is making some very good progress. upcoming in the central zone it will be roof top waterproofing is starting. the bus deck waterproofing and the drive all concrete is progressing well and the mee -- all of the overhead elements in the central zone are progressing through next month and the removal of the first street temp bridge. in the eastern zone we're finishing the roof top concrete, bus deck
7:11 pm
perimeter crash rail and waterproofing and waterproofing and part of the progress. once you get the fireproofing done you can move up to the other trades more efficiently and in the western zone and completing the train box lid and waterproofing and a lot of electrical room build out and getting power in that the western zone and for the bus ramp then we have the cables and they started and the first of the seven. they're pushing cable through that and we will see a lot of progress in the next month and projected mid-november when that is done. after that they have a pipe that wraps it and a final capping to them once they tighten them up and stress them to what they need to be for the final design. and then this is just a graphic to confirm the first street traffic will be shifted on the weekend of september 24 over to the east. traffic shouldn't really be impacted and won't
7:12 pm
notice it when it reopens on monday and it will stay in that configuration for a few months and then push the traffic to the west to complete the three stage process to remove the first street bridge. in regards to safety we had two recordables in the last couple of months. one was a back injury, one a shoulder injury but no loss time. we've had no loss time in calendar year 2016. with over 2.5 million craft hours through the end of august so with that i will turn it over to ron to start the budget discussion. >> thank you dennis. good morning directors. i will try to be brief as well knowing that the agenda is full. leading up with the budget overview expenditures and commitments and as expected with 15 months remaining until contractual substantial completion. we exz
7:13 pm
spended 43.3 million since the last report and had an uptick of committed by 17.7 million. given some recent favorable bidding lately namely and you will hear soon about the network system and we're having our ongoing risk assessment. right now we've doesn't our quarterly adjustment to the estimate of at completion. we drop today down by six moints .9 million and i think there is room as we work towards advancing retiring some risk as we close structural steel and structural concrete in the future so i'm seeing a downward trend on that but we're still maintaining kind of a conservatism to it right now with an estimated completion at
7:14 pm
2.1 four 7.5 billion. not to get too much into the minutia in terms of constituency cost since the last report we've expended about 1.1 million on contingency and and 800,000 of that are reimbursables towards putting work in place for the puc and then upcoming we've got about 9.5 million kind of in the mix and a lot of it is just future notices to proceed, so nothing really standing out there to point out. moving on to schedule kind of a slow pace here in terms of movement, kind of status quo from the last report in terms of overall time.
7:15 pm
we're still sitting march-ish for substantial -- again i wanted to underscore that a lot of items are really within the timeframe for the contractual substantial completion. we have a couple of outliers that we're still working on that push us into 2018. we did see a little slippage on the bus ramp. it has been a little challenge wg frame five i think it is although we're getting momentum on that. i saw some great photos of it being prepped up in the fab shop so i'm still optimistic that the bus ramp will start pulling in although i haven't seen it just yet and again the bus storage has been idle in anticipation for lease terms to advance. i understand that's going to be on an agenda
7:16 pm
in october for the california board so we will see where that one goes but right now it remains idle. looking at the streams of activity as you can see the majority of activity has held steady. we're showing slippage with ceilings and panels and maps. and again looking at the deeper minutia of the schedule i'm not terribly alarmed. we'll manage and bring it in where we need to go. again just kind of an overview of where we are with the challenges in terms of the schedule. again as dennis had mentioned critical path lies with the grant hall with a lot of overlap of trades so a lot of focus is there. we're scheduled next week for the next scheduled mitigation meeting with the team
7:17 pm
to strategize the next wave of acceleration on how to start bringing it in and close that gap between you know february, march to bring it back, all items into december but as i mentioned the majority of items are already sitting where they need to be. we just need to work on some of the outliers like gray water tanks and polishing terrazzal and commissioning is probably the larger one there. the next challenge i am happy to say -- i never thought i would say this but by america -- as a challenge for all intensive purposes is resolved. i am sure we will have flair ups over things but the last report we had great concern about the building management, the fire management, public address and audio visual. there was a number of letters exchanged between our team and
7:18 pm
them for that matter. they have responded. they are procuring and advancing the work, and we will be proceeding as a head certified so a big plus. again we will keep an eye on it. i am sure there will be items here or there that are going to flair up as we -- flare up as we advance but the big worry is behind us, a big win for the last couple of months. briefly on the bus reconfiguration no move ment on that one and ac transit suggested that the interim executive director and the general manager for ac transit get together and strategize how one might fund this desire but right now no movement on that and we have great progress on the bus deck as planned and as procured. i
7:19 pm
know the representative from ac transit has been away on vacation for a number of weeks so i'm hopeful we will get movement on that front shortly as well. >> what representative is that? >> linda. >> linda has been -- okay. >> yeah. bid package procurement was something that i had highlighted last report. since then we bid out the network system. we actually went out with the av system as well albeit it appears that we're rebidding that package only because of issues around by america and small business paperwork for that matter. the scope of works and the dollars on both are trending -- the one that did come in is lower than budget, kind of a rare e here i
7:20 pm
hear but we came under budget on that item so again we will continue to monitor the advancement of this because commissioning is tied a lot to the network development and all but again i think it's downgraded from a real challenge to a concern to be monitored. and brings me to the last new challenge since we kind of retired things we have been concerned about in the past, and my biggest worry right now is being operational ready. we're moving really good momentum towards delivering the building in december. we have initiated meetings with the various transit agencies. we really, really need to meet the mark and get the master leasee engaged by january so we can position ourselves to truly be
7:21 pm
operationally ready because i'm confident that we will have a building ready for operation. and with that i will entertain any questions. >> the transit operators improvements i presume you mean ac transit. >> gray hound and golden gate i believe also. >> is the fact -- it's not a question of who is supposed to put them in but do you have the plans and that stuff? is that the issue? >> there are details in discussion in terms how to perfect the booth for ac transit for that matter. getting going on with the greyhound area in terms of the tenant improvements. for the most part is get them to the table and reaffirm what we're delivering, refine it and move it forward. >> is ac transit twfer you and greyhound and the other?
7:22 pm
>> yes. contractually yes. >> yeah that's what i thought because we're doing the whole bus deck. >> yeah. >> yeah, soundses like i need to get on it. >> yeah. i am eager to get all that defined, the master leasee secured. all of that needs to come into focus and solidified. >> i have a meeting with the general manager to discuss -- >> to discuss this? >> yeah. we're in contact with them. >> all right. >> for the most part a lot of good news. a lot of challenges were retired in the last months. i feel good we came a long way in the nine months of my engagement. i feel good where we're at but can't lose focus with the next wave and that is being operationally ready and looking for us and the team to get a deeper and stronger engagement now that we have some
7:23 pm
of the delivery issues of the building kind of behind us. we need to look for it and get that momentum going. >> great. yeah. >> good work. just out of curiosity what is the aggregate value work in place per month right now? my math shows 30 million. >> yeah, i think this is different because we didn't have a meeting in august, yeah -- >> 45 million, in that range. >> yeah, it's right in the zone. you may have noticed percent complete versus the percent spent. that gap is starting to slowly close. we had 1% uptick on time and an uptick on budget expended so those things are starting to align. >> and the schedule and have to keep going 35 million a month in place. >> yeah. >> thanks. >> thank you.
7:24 pm
>> thank you. >> your next item is item 14, the citizens advisory committee update and directors the chair is not present but he indicated he had nothing to report. >> okay next item. >> item 15 is public comment and an opportunity for members of the public to address you on matters not on the calendar. >> [inaudible] [off mic] >> we have there thatcher. >> good morning. jim thatcher with a company in san francisco. i saw in august about the article about the terrible things going on with the center and i felt that the board was not taking a very active position relative to this. i was really surprised and most please with the the public relations pr message they put out on the website. i'm not sure how many people read it but it's well written and describes our position -- at least your
7:25 pm
position well so i commend the people that put it together. i think it was a job well done and i would like to see it gets more exposure because it's the truth of the matter and the truth always wins the day so i really like that so it's a well done to the staff and who ever is responsible for that so thank you and i felt it was an uncertain time. last point -- bart i see has put out a request for proposal for renting parts of their embarcadero station out for narrow little kiosks areas and larger areas. this is the same thing -- although we're in a much larger scale and this is something i encourage the board to watch closely and will give you maybe an idea of what the real value of these things are or at least a data point as we go through our process so i think that's something worth looking at. thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. that concludes
7:26 pm
members of the public to address you. next is the consent calendar. >> yes please. >> all matters are routine acted upon a single vote. there is no member of the public or board wish to have items separate and 16.1 and approving the minutes of the meeting and 16.2 and approving the minutes of that meeting. >> okay. is there a motion for approval of the consent. >> [inaudible] [off mic] >> second. >> aye. >> next item. >> the consent calendar is approved and 17 is approving a amendment with the contract with webcor obayashi and joint venture in with netxperts for the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid amount of $4,679,573 increasing rz thissed direct
7:27 pm
costs by that same amount and authorized construction services fixed fee by $163,785. >> directors i can answer any questions you have or present the item for you if you would like to. >> my only question would be should we have any concern that the amount is so low compared to our estimate? >> well, when you look at -- we had four bidders. two of the bidders do networks and low voltage networks and the lowest ones and the other are electrical contractors that would have brokered it out to do the work. it made a lot of sense the way the bids came in and especially when you had the two world wide technologies and netxperts that do this work and close to each other and we're comfortable with it. >> where are they from? do they have an office locally? >> [inaudible] [off mic]
7:28 pm
>> he's from walnut creek. >> very good. >> is that in california? better yet by the east bay. [laughter] >> i am here to answer any questions. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> looking forward to a good job. >> move for approval. >> yes. >> do you want to call the roll. >> no members of the public to address you on the item. director gee. >> yes. >> director kim. >> aye. >> director reiskin. >> aye. >> chair harper. >> aye. >> vice. >> aye. >> that item is approved. >> next item please. >> all right. item 18 is an agreement with jenny holzer studio for the commission of the art work in the bus deck level for not to exceed $182,000 and
7:29 pm
the installation is $740,000 and approve a intergovernmental agreement with the san francisco arts commission. >> and directors ron can answer any questions if you would like to. >> good morning again. as you know this has been kind of a long drawn out process in trying to on board this contract for the whole piece. i got engaged a few months ago. there were some concern about the method of procurement and fabrication, some details in the contract. i know it's been kind of a lot of back and forth a bunch between the different representatives, you know, just based on that it's hard to support it based on the back and forths but really the core concern is how do we bridge the gap of a concept artist piece and fabrication and earlier on it was on a
7:30 pm
trajectory to blend it into subcontracts with the contractor. that was a concern. i think that was a core issue in my mind that put a risk in front of us and we reached out to the san francisco art commission to modify their intergovernmental agreement to address this concern head o i think they stepped up to the plate, really pulled together some engagement with a fabricator that has worked a lot with jenny holzer studio so i think we have bridged in my mind the gaps and the concerns, and i need to respect it. the support we got from the art commission and support advancing this contract i think given what we've pulled together in the last few months with engagement with the studio, the art commission and the
7:31 pm
fabricator i think we will have a successful outcome and with that i would like to invite jill manton with the arts commission to briefly remind the board what the piece is all about to put it into context. >> thank you ron. good morning directors. thank you for giving me this time to speak with you about the holzer project. it's been a long time in the making. do we have the visuals? >> yes. >> okay. i wanted to show you a couple of examples of her past work. she works with illuminated led text. the content of her work is often very directly related to the site in which the work is located. can we go to the next image? this is an example of her work installed at the guggenheim museum. i should mention she's one of the most
7:32 pm
contemporary artists perhaps in the world at this time and this will be her first public art commission in san francisco. next. another guggenheim installation. next image. thank you to -- if week tiewrn down the volume on this. this is the project for trans bay. so the work is 9-foot high -- excuse me, 11 feet high by 90 linear feet long. it will be placed on the bus du will -- deck and visible in the grant hall and the bus deck readable from both sides and anyway i was talking about the content of her work. i
7:33 pm
mentioned at the world trade center in new york city the content of her work consisted of writings of her own and from authors and historians and poets of coming to new york city and from the court and had text dating back a thousand year on the subject of justice and in the original proposal for trans bay she spoke about i wanted to emphasize this work will be besides a work of outstanding beauty and visual impact it will have a historical and educational component. the text will include information about the building of the bay bridge, the bay area, the history of california and the transbay terminal itself in addition to other textses and stories that she might wish to include. so if i have -- if there are any
7:34 pm
questions -- i tried to keep this very brief in respect to the long agenda you have. >> well, i do have a lot -- i mean as you know i have been involved in this a bit. >> yes. >> i do art -- i do contracts for commission sculpture, a lot of them, so i was disappointed in how little responsibility this artist was taking for the final product. there was no specifications given in the contract and i really appreciate the fact that the san francisco arts commission has stepped into that gap between consent and delivery. it's going to be a lot of work and i really appreciate that because -- i was very skeptical about whether or not this contract would be much enforceable in any regard. art is always risky and when enter into i contract which the
7:35 pm
artist themselves is not promising a given deliverable that increases it is risk and i am very appreciative of the art commission to come in and say they're going to come in and do that kind of overview between the fabrication and that, and i guess the installation is something that we've got taken care of. i have a concern that you might keep in mind that all of the stuff if you look on her website on this stuff is either indoors or if it's outdoors it's photographed at night and there's a lot of photoshopping involved and that sort of stuff, so i'm concerned. the specification i was most looking for is the visibility specification because one of the beautiful things about the bus deck is how much natural light there s i mean it's going to be
7:36 pm
a beautiful place to wait for a bus, and how that will work with the light emitting sculpture i thought we could get a specification on but that is something we will just have to see how it works. at night it's going to be beautiful no question. >> director harper if i may comment both the commission and the architects had the same concern and a light study was performed and that has been factored into the specifications for the brightness of the led lights and i don't know if fred clark can add anything to that but that subject we worked with the lighting consultants on the trans bay project and that has been clearly addressed and considered. thank you for bringing it up. >> that's one of your good efforts. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> for getting that done so i would recommend approval at this point and given the commission step in. >> so moved. >> second.
7:37 pm
>> okay. okay. >> you do have two members of the public that want to comment on this item. >> oh no, i just mean there is public comment. thank you. >> we have ruth followed by julie chang. >> good morning directors. i am ruth and the deputy museum director of cultural affairs at museum of art. as you heard jenny is a practitioner and engaged with language as art. the main focus of the art is delivery of words and delivery in public spaces and this provokes responses in the viewers. while her subversive work often blends in in advertising and public spaces it's a resting that goes over expectations and [inaudible]
7:38 pm
and ignoring informs is the best way to fight or response is the response to these situations and have been on posters and signs. [inaudible] has seven works of jenny holzer in the collection, two from the survival series and two media works of led electronic signs from the survival series and 10-foot installation entitled "i am a man" and a truism golf stand a small sculpture with plastic balls and tees and astro it ever and those that are owned out right there are two in the fisher collection at deposit to the group and survival series men don't protect you anymore and truism. i am a man is the acquisition of the museum and

has been on view in three exhibitions recently. once in 1995 when we first opened the third street museum. also then again in points of departure in 2001 and it was on view in 2005-2007 in between art and contemporary painting and sculpture. in the bench series as the survival series men don't protect you anymore from 99 was on the sculpture garden from 2010-11 and currently on view on the third floor landing in the s fo ma. my colleagues share the enthusiasm for jenny holzer's work and of this commission. thank you very much. >> and julie. >> good morning directors. my name is julie chang and i am here in support of jenn, her work and the approval of her
7:40 pm
contract. i am a local artist who has the distinct privilege of having been also chosen to create public work for the transbay transit center. my work will be the floor of the design of grant hall. just being invited to participate is a high honor. part of the enthusiasm is in this opportunity as a woman and artist and dialogue with one of my heroes. jenny holzer is a leader of the contemporary art world and her work is as pointent and relevant today as 20 years ago and inspired to her as a young student and the first female artist that represented the united states at the [inaudible] and prestigious long standing contemporary art exhibition want as a city that prides itself at being at the forefront of progressive thinking and innovation her work perfectly reflects the
7:41 pm
character and values of our city. it's highly intelligent yet inherently accessible and challenging and provocative and elegant and poetic and has the ability to speak to and from the essential parts of and inspire introspection and compassion and even action and i can't imagine a more fitting addition to a civic building of our time and i thank you for the willingness to move forward on the project. >> okay. that conclude members of the public to address you on that item. you do have a first and a second. >> call the roll. >> director gee. >> i'm sorry. i didn't realize ms. chan was in the audience. i am a huge fan of the work and the terminal and great to meet you in person and thank you so much for being here and an overall comment i am proud of the public art in place in the terminal and thanks the art commission for the diligent
7:42 pm
work making sure it works on different functional and cultural and esthetic levels. >> with that director gee. >> yes. >> director kim. >> yes. >> director reiskin. >> aye. >> vice. >> aye. >> chair hair. >> yes. >> and that is approved and that concludes item 18 and that concludes your calendar and you're scheduled to go back into closed session . >> the tjpa board of directors meeting is back in session and will report out. >> in conference with legal counsel with existing litigation in government code section 54956.9 with john eng, et al vs. millennium partners inc. et al,

and lehman and the transbay joint powers authority there is nothing to report and item 8 with conference with legal counsel with litigation for subdivision of section 54956.9 there is no action to report. >> that concludes the agenda today. >> we're adjourned.
7:44 pm
>> good morning everyone welcome back to the san francisco board of supervisors budget and finance committee meeting for wednesday, september 7, 2016. my name is mark farrell chairman of this committee joined by supervisor katie tang and supervisor norman yee. i want to thank sfgov tv for covering this meeting as well as the clerk of our committee. mdm. clerk any announcements ? >> please sounds cell phones. sector. >> thank you. mdm. clerk please call item number one. >> item number one, except and expend a grant for state vocational rehabilitation services.
7:45 pm
>> thank you very much. do we have dph person to speak on this item? please, come on up. >> good morning supervisors. my name is jenny wong in him the occasional program manager for behavioral health services within the department of public health. there two actions included in this proposed legislation with the state department of rehab. also known as the award. the first action is to provide dioguardi with the board of supervisors approval to enter into eight three-year agreement with you are by the county provides por with matching funds. which you are uses to draw down federal funds to support vocational services in san francisco. the board of supervisors has approved this agreement since 1992. the second action is to
7:46 pm
expend dear warren and funds over that three-year agreement to support a civil service position in fiscal year 12-13. the state added this component to its agreement with the city to which the amendment was approved by the san francisco board of supervisors. to provide the city with funds to provide and support a position to act as a program coordinator for the vendor. this position will fit in planning organizing coordinating developing and evaluating the work of the vendors in this agreement. the department of public health has at the same relationship with the oh are the past way for years. you are as this relationship in 21 counties in california. in this relationship the department of public health is entered into an agreement with gor to provide matching funds for the purpose of supporting the expansion of vocational services using state funding and state
7:47 pm
contracts. the large contracts directly with community organizations for the delivery of vocational services. the amount of the awards program funding is dependent on how much matching funding is provided by counties. dioguardi is able to county funds by a ratio 4-1. which amounts to a county match up 21.3% in the department of public health supports this agreement because it allows the expansion of vocational services in san francisco with only a 21.3 county investment in the state needs a county match in order to draw down and match from the federal government. dph supports doi's infrastructure as if significant supports the san francisco residence and behavioral health services clients. providing services that dph would not otherwise be able to afford. in short, the department pays only 21% of the
7:48 pm
budgeted however, 100% of the clients are benefiting from it. the state contactor contacts with the vendors. the current vendors are rich and multi-services, ucsf citywide, occupational therapy training program and to works. the vendors provide a specialized locational and limited support services to the clients of dhs. all experiences with mental severe mental illness. the services include rents of assessment services, vocational planning, career exploration, job placement and retention support and vocational training across several workforce sectors. overall, this program has proven to be very successful. over the past several years, is been a consistent improvement of productivity year after year.
7:49 pm

7:52 pm
the mayor's office of housing to speak on these items? rejects good morning. i'm lydia ely senior project manager with the mayor's office of housing and community development. i'm very pleased to be here today to present these 14 resolutions to you all. these represent the culmination of about three years of work on behalf of the mayor's office of housing and san francisco housing authority. to convert 3500 units from public housing to privately owned and managed refurbished units that are sponsored by most of our community-based nonprofit affordable housing developers. the work that is being done on these properties today, the issuance of resolutions that you are reviewing in total over $700 million in construction resources for these projects will focus on really restoring these units to habitability. as
7:53 pm
you all know the housing authority has suffered under funding for many many years and as a result these units have phone into disrepair. they are going to receive about $500 million in rehab among the 35-among the 2000 units that we are addressing today. the work that will take place addresses five deficiencies in the building. like safety deficiencies. in other words, fire safety and sprinklers. the work will also address building envelope deficiencies. that means roofs, windows, etc. and of course of the units will receive upgrades to provide updated amenities for the residents benefit. this work has really been a collaborative effort with about 10 different city departments. led by our our office but mostly involving the planning department the
7:54 pm
building department, department of environment, dpw, working with us, puc, human services agency, this is really an all hands on deck effort. i think the city should be very proud of it. of course, the center that is a partnership with the housing authority which currently owns and manages the properties. on the financial side, the city is putting in about $100 million into these projects across both phases. again this is 3500 units. it may sound like a lot but in phase 2 alone were leveraging $330 million in private debt and $814 million in private equity. so, we are leveraging about 10-21 the city's investment in these properties. these properties are located across the subject of their 9/11 of our supervisorial district of this is unusual to have a presence and have such great activity and improvement of our housing across the whole
7:55 pm
city. today, we have representatives of a number of the developing teams. seven developer teams doing these 14 projects. a number of them are here if there are questions from you all about individual projects. otherwise i'll be happy to provide more detail and projects themselves or the financing if you wish? >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions? >> just a quick question. in terms of your assessment and the amount needed to refurbish or rear renovate or fix, was it done on a sort of individual one-on-one or is this a 10 units that's probably on average cost about that much? >> well the property as you would imagine some were built
7:56 pm
in the 40s commit some of them were built in the 90s. across projects it was really a variation on what is needed. there's some very large ticket items that increase the cost per unit and for example seismic work that has to be undertaken for the whole building at a lot of cost per unit. but to answer question, it really does very a lot good i will say, in this phase 2, we are doing about $240,000 in rehab per unit on average. >> again that will vary depending on the property. some of them are in better shape because of the way they were constructed. some are in better shape because they are younger. but, yes, in phase 1 we had 14 projects also in our average was $150,000. so the units that were doing now are much greater need of repair. >> do you happen to have a breakdown of the units in regards to number of bedrooms?
7:57 pm
like, how many of these units are two bedrooms, how many are one and so forth? >> i don't have that on the bit i can tell you that the 14 projects, three of them are family project at 11 are was called senior disabled project. those of zero bedrooms studio bedrooms studio units and one bedroom. so, on the other hand, the family projects tend to have more units. we one project with 234 projects in time the town. we one of a similar size in the bayview. so, i can say generally we have more smaller units than family units, but i can get to that breakdown >> i really would appreciate that. i have a focus on family units and how we develop and support it so that information would be useful. >> the three family projects are à la many which are 150 units and that's in district 9. then [inaudible] north. 200 units in chinatown and that we have westbrook in the bayview-hunters point and that
7:58 pm

8:03 pm
>> those are the terms that are in the lease that the navy presents. i will remind the board last year we did execute a similar amendment with a cooperative agreement to extend a multiyear basis until would sunset so we do not need to keep coming back each year. that is certainly something that we can talk with the navy about and see if with next year's amendment they would be amenable to further term which, i'm not sure if that is what you're asking, but we are willing to see if that's the case. to not have to amend it every year. >> it just makes more sense not to do it every year. unless you have it for many years. >> okay. seeing no other questions thank you very much. will move on to public comment. anyone wish to public on these comments seeing none, public

8:05 pm
through. as you probably know, the base 1% property tax rate is set by proposition 13 passed by california voters in 1978. the portion above 1% is determine each year so that we collect enough property tax revenue to pay for the general obligation bond principal and interest do that fiscal year. the original ordinance is submitted august 2 prior to the bart board determining the three county tax rate factor. so, the number included for the bart general obligation bonds and original ordinance is an estimate good i like to ask that the committee amend the original legislation to reflect what the bart board determined would be the tax rate factor and that is 0.008 0%. for bart geo bonds and that would bring the composite property tax rate per 2016-17 up to a little bit what, was estimated to 1.1792%. i do have just a couple of
8:06 pm
slides to put on the overhead. so, the last year's property tax rate was 1.82%-1.1826%. this year it's going down slightly. 1.1792%. that's based upon the schools and special district collective rate for their geo bonds go down just a little bit. to provide a comparative tax bill for last year compared to this year, the median taxable values not the market value, but the median assessed taxable values is about $500,000 for single-family single dwelling home in san francisco. so, that is the reason you see $500,000 from last year to this year the inflation that allowed by proposition 13, the inflation increases 1.5 to 5%. thus, the
8:07 pm
typical property tax bill for this evaluation could go about $73.14. if you have any questions or be happy to answer them. >> thank you for that expiration. colleagues, any questions? we do i pass out the amendment already sold we have him and him and the court has them as well. mr. rose can we get your report on item 20? rejects mr. chairman i would at we recommend that you approve this legislation. >> thank you very much. with that will open up to public comment. anybody wish to comment on item 20? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] be checks on make a motion to send the fourth item 20 as amended per the as stated on the record with positive recommendation to the full board >>, commotion was to adopt the amendment. >> moved and seconded. >> we can take that without objection >>[gavel] >> also motion by supervisor

8:10 pm
page 11 of our report we note hsa currently pays the annual rent for the 165 cap st. at two and $22,000 .37 so that would increase in the first year by 8.3% or 18,000.463 two 240,500 yard according to the real estate division, that 8.3% increase in rent is reasonable because the landlord has not increase the rent since expiration of the original lease in december 2010 and the proposed rent represents their market value. as the department as indicated, the total rent payments for the initial five year lease terms are 1.2.. that shown in table 2. on page 12 of our reports. we do recommend you approve this resolution. >> thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions for our analyst? seeing none, will move on to the public. anyone wish to comment on 21? seeing none, public comment is closed.

8:12 pm
all went out to key terms from that agreement. one is that the purchase price is one dollar. that's made in consideration for the future use of the affordable housing and the partnership between the san francisco housing authority and the potrero hope sf project. which the site is adjacent to. the second term is that the closing will happen 30 days after the board of supervisors approves exercising the option to purchase and that will facilitate the project meeting its construction schedule. were hoping to close on financing in the next couple months and start construction by the end of the year. the city will merge this 5000 ft.2 lot with the 25,000 square-foot adjacent lot located 1101 connecticut st. which we already purchased earlier this year. we've entered into an option to ground lease for the entire 30,000 square-foot lot with
8:13 pm
rich housing. that is so that they construct 72 units of affordable housing on the site. the site is known as block x which is part of the larger potrero hope sf revitalization plan. the site is currently vacant and will require no relocation. which helps meet the larger potrero hope sf goals of achieving minimal displacement of residents while we revitalize the whole site. of the 72 units, 53 of those units we made for residents made available for residents of the potrero hope sf site. in conclusion, the acquisition of this parcel will enable the land assembly needed to create 72 units of affordable housing

would have friends from san francisco visiting here. glad to be here and school board members to join. elected officials to joun your elected officials. when i see and look around and see the people i can stand with, wow, it is amazing. you know that congresswoman barbara lee? she is my sister! she my sister! we belong to the same family association. that's right. all of us in elected office generally speaking i think there are moments in our time when we are struggling with a lot of decisions we have to make, but those moments where collaboration of many groups of people whether they are
8:23 pm
resident, parents, school board members, principles, teachers, advocates and kids, we all come together and make a decision together about what is good and when we make a decision that involves our business community, those are great moments. and today, is one of those great moments because we get to share with you something that we have been doing in the city of san francisco about 3 years. we got to work-first of all, if you know one of our companies in san francisco called sales force one of the most successful technology comps companies in the city and whole region. yes, world wide. they do something in the clouds. about 4 years ago, mark [inaudible] sat down with me and asked me a question that i will never ever forget. you
8:24 pm
ever have those times where people ask a question and say i didn't know they cared that much. he asked me what do i really want to do, not what i'm obligated to do and having to do every day. fill pot holes and headache sure people are safe and make sure people get jobs and housing. what do you really want to do. in that couple hours conversation in his house and joined by lynn [inaudible] because she is a big heart in san francisco. thank you lynn. he asks me what do you really want to do and i got me to thinking, i got a good education growing up and people helped me along to get me a very good solid foundation in education, i think that when youth and families succeed in our cities, our cities succeed.
8:25 pm
talking about both oakland and san francisco. we began on the path of what really was important to me and i think the best education publicly that we can provide for our kids and familys is the think thing i want to get and really most important. in that conversation, we identified and got in with school board member hide rumendoza and others to talk. hid ruis here and is my liaiz on through the school. board. richard [inaudible] our super intendant who is wide open with ideas how to help our schools and look at data and said, schools like yours today right here, frick impact academy, middle schools is where we were most challenged so we began the middle school initiative and had the conversation and made investment, 4th year, 3 years
8:26 pm
later we got millions of dollars invested but much morethen am money is the collaboration with the principles because i want them to not have to reach into their own pockets. three years ago no middle school in san francisco was wifi. can you believe that? we had to correct that. we had to get tablets and training stof the teachers and had to do it in a way where the teachers said, mayor lee recollect what are you doing? you are not trying to take over the schools are you? no, i'm trying to help the kids and families in our schools and the only way i can see forward in how to do it in the claberate thing is to say, what would bring each teacher and principle back to their
8:27 pm
very first year they decided to go into public education. because there are other reasons not to and sometimes those reasons pop up every day. too challenging and people not paying attention and the state and cutting luft and right. if we listen to every principle and all the teachers in the middle school tell us what they needed to be successful help the kids advance and list toon the super intentdant what the data is telling us. math and science. by the way, the jobs just a few years athround corner, depend you have a better stem education. science, technology, engineering, math. so, all of that catalyst comes and 4 years later our 8 graders are
8:28 pm
performing the bestz and the urban school district is the best. our middle grade teachers and principles are at the top of the their feeling and they feel it. they feel it. [applause]. this is something we got to share with oakland. because if oakland succeeds san francisco succeeds tooment it happens both ways. we are not a island in the city, we are a regional partnership. barbara knows thatd, congresswoman lee knows that. we as elected officials know that. this investment is more than the money, it is about believing in our kids and as i share with your mayor, because what companies like sales force want to really do is be more than just a successful company, they want to be partners with government. partners with parents. partners with other companies.
8:29 pm
partners with the school district because we want to not find our talent, we want to grow our talent. and your growing as a talent we'll recruit from each and all of you, you will be talent i'm looking for. we are look frg a police chief, a fire chief, a department head or ceo, or any of the great jobs that you can think of, you're the talent pool we want to invest in and you're our investment. i want to say that is how we approached this middle grades initiative that now today we get to wonderfully share with the city of oakland and want to take the opportunity to introduce you to your own mayor, someone who is tremendous colleague of mine and inspired me in san francisco to do better and that
8:30 pm

8:47 pm

8:48 pm
all these great schools. thank you. [applause] >> thank you mr. been off, mark, thank you for your commitment. my name is [inaudible] serve as super intendant of san francisco unified. superinant [inaudible] i was making sure you are paying attention. just making sure. we don't have a rap for you. check out this rap, so 3 years ago, this industry leader came to us and said, we are going to tell you what you are going do and give you funding for it. what he did is went to the principles and our mayor and to super intendant and sat and said what do you want to do. the outcome is you have to be the best school district in theination
8:49 pm
what does it take to get there and it was a conversation that developed and we are so forninate that we now in year 4 of our relationship and partnership with sales force and by a long shot, one the best parts of that relationship is our sales force employees that spend time in the schools and classrooms. all of the students here today, and i want you to listen to this for a minute. when the going gets tough and you think why am i in school i want you to look at super intendant wilson. i want you to look at super intend of san francisco because i look like some of you. [speaking spanish] i didn't speak english either and now we get to do this thing be super intend squnts educators. look at your mayor who didn't grow up in a silver spoon and community
8:50 pm
advocate and congresswoman. we want you to to center what we didn't have. i have one more day on the job so i can say this, what mr. ben off and sale force is doing is change california education because until the state ofical considers public education as a investment rather than a expense, think about that, rather than a expense we have to do but think of public education in the investment in the future workforce and technology of our great state, until they do that and think about that you will have luminaries like mark ben off and others that say we get the bigger picture. by our very very humble investment we will allow you-let me tell you what happened in san francisco, we
8:51 pm
developed a pre-k 12 computer [inaudible] you will hear talking about kindergarten code, we want computer science because that is who mr. ben off will hire. computer scientist who can apply the math and science. we reduced class sizes and bring parents together and able to createi labs, the principles who is leading a revolution in a middle school, the namesake of which gets me shokeed up, martin luther king middle school principle michael [inaudible] they pooled their money in in the private industly you can be innovative and some work and some don't work. in public education because hof the scrutiny and accountability for the public dollar we don't get to try thing jz say they won't work.
8:52 pm
bhaut this investment has done is given the principles and community the tublt try stuff out and when they tried stuff out lots worked. the innovation lab and maker spaces and pooling the money and creating welcome centers. creating classes student can take internship jz go into the workforce and see i can do this work too. i 92 ed to apply myself in school. that is the game changer for us and here to tell you my brother jz sister in oakland, there is no way we can be successful in san francisco if you are not absolutely hitting it out of the park in oakland. we are with you and we already collaborated on our common core math implementation and doing things better, we are diagnose things different and where across the state of california people say what are the people in oakland and san francisco doing with math instruction. we have the proof that it is
8:53 pm
actually teaching kids at a higher deeper level so take that. [applause] more than anything, what i want to say to all you here and especially mr. beenoff because you don't find corporate philanthropy that takes time to listen, i want to say thank you for listening and investing in our future, thank you for investing in those people that come to work every day with nothing but the best intentions for rour o urxhern rchlt my brother from another mother, super intendant an twaun wilson. he knows where you have been and will show you where you can go. my last comment before i turn it over to the man the hour because we are in his house. thank you an twaun for inviting us in your district. i want to introduce

interim super intendant [inaudible] thank you for stepping up and taking on the responsibility for us.

8:55 pm
appreciate marx and sales force and all the employees. you can be doing anything but you chose to invest in oakland and be here and be support said for our students and examples for the students. thank you. it makes a trumendss difference in the district. i appreciate the mayor and city. i it think is important it the future the city rests in the young people and investzment in young people. it is important to actually act that out and have the mayor invest in oakland promise and say do everything we can from the moment young people are born to the moment they get a successful career. that is putting the actions with the lip service and say we believe it can happen and we will do something about it. the mayor has invested and raised money and had council members do the same. appreciate our school board. school board saying we want to
8:56 pm
do more. what we have been doing isn't good enough. we are pleased with the fact we made progress we need to go faster. we need to do more which means prur sue every opportunity and this is making sure student have access to the best that is available. it is really exciting to hear mark say we want to make sure there is among the best districts in the wrurld because that is exactly what we need if we provide young people with the opportunity to be successful. i want to appreciate the school leaders because after my conversation with mark he asked to speak to school leaders and i knew when he met the school leaders he would see this is a place to invest and leaders and talented and believe in the young people. they are also leading a group of teachers, educations and want to appreciate the teachers. both for your rapping skills
8:57 pm
[applause] and also what you do every day coming in and making a difference for your young people. i was here before the start the school year before you were here getting ready for the start of the school year and appreciate that. just a fewthis i want to share and turn to impact and that is real numbers. we talked about computer science, the impact, it is making a differerance and important to understand this, to do well in computer science you need to not be afraid and step into the classroom and raise your hand and not with aeroeif you have the answer correct and say this is what i think the answer is and why i think it st. the answer. in order to do that you have to have investment and support. in oakland, this year, going from this year to last year to this year, we have 2853 secondary students enrolled in
8:58 pm
computer science. laest year there was 685. [applause] what this investment will do is help accelerate that number because investment in middle schools. this year middle school 621 student enrolled in computer science, 4 times the number of last year so excited about tha. that will allow the investment in the schools to accelerate the work and we want the outcomes sf has seen. increased graduation and achievement and see the student graduate and go to college so take advantage of the center up stairs and the tutoring here and to help you tutoring model it says the tutoring parents pay for we want to provide in the school day and that is what had is happening in at frick. as i close i want to say this, if we are successful and take the vest ment in young people.
8:59 pm
investment of time and dollars. it takes individuals willing to say i will do more and i will get involved. what i would hope will happen is the people come and see the enthusiasm and take a tour and see what is happening and visit others school and say we want to make sure california with super intendant [inaudible] i appreciate richard so much because he is a tremendous collaborator and sf. we want to make sure what he said is true and that is that, the whole state sees investment in education as its responsibility. among the top per capita countries and nations in the state. there is no way we should be in the bottom states in education funding and this investment here is a a example saying this is what we do to change that. thank you.
