to focus on these issues with the trashes on [inaudible] we will work with the city on identifying these hot spots and coming up with improvement said. the part the directive we are really really interested in is sth high quality safety infrastructure. we want to see that happen in real life. now we are not seeing that and a good example is the eltaraval project which includes a pilot portion where boarding islands will not be included mpt . instead of that the city proposed painting some word on the travel lane that says, yield to pedestrians. that is not high quality infrastructure and won't keep people safe. that isn't in lie with the mayors directive so the city takes this directive seriously and builds robust projects that keep people safe. i always think my time is up when that

12:04 am
families with a quality of life we have worked on this protective for a year and thank you to the local agency formation commission and the rec and park department, the mta and the port for theirs helpful feedback has we develop this proposal before the committee is legislation that focuses on park property and casts a wider net in terms of the types of events for the loading and unloading of vehicles many will apply since this item was agendized we've been can with sfrrlz with labor and organizers and event organizers to tailor the legislation to insure wear striking the right balance between supporting our workers and insuring war not causing a financial burden on the capitalized events i'll request the committee entertain a motion to go make a serious even if amendments i'm concerned distributed you should have if
12:05 am
flouven you that representative an expansion of the prevailing wage requirement with respect to geography that makes that apply 120ir9 and festivity limiting the kinds of events covered we're focusing on this on the fence that have a high-level of production i have been informed by the city attorney's office those amendments are substantive the item needs to be continued for one week briefly the amendments are as follows: as i mentioned we will expand the prevailing wage requirement for the driving loading and uploading of commercial vehicles to all city properties not just rec and park and that was at the request of the rec and park department and then but at the same time as i mentioned before as a way to measure proxy to look at the larger events with more access
12:06 am
to capital the this new requirement would apply only if the event otherwise already triggers other prevailing wage provisions mainly the theatre california workers like putting you think large stamps and stages and things like that or if it triggers the prevailing wage that is tied to trade shows and so and all of the exemptions that are in those prevailing wage sections apply as well as the exemptions in the orientals before you that are specific to this so to think about it the prevailing wage requirement is for events on city property only those events fib already trigger under existing law prevailing wage requirements has to do with with production of those events and so i want to thank the
12:07 am
committee for considering this item today and for elimination considering the amendments we have a futile people with comments. >> thank you, mr. powers. >> supervisor yee. >> i was looking at through it and thinking which department and how would they actually escalate or monitor this agency precumbersome. >> an easy way to do this. >> the way it works for the board of supervisors to pass the amendments establishing the prevailing wage for the type of work this is what is before you today should the board pass this measure or have in prevailing wage requirements the next step the office of labor & standards enforcement works with the civil
12:08 am
service to do a survey to establish the types of work in san francisco they come up with a number a dollar amount that dollars amount comes back to the board of supervisors and gets supposed to be between one and 20 days or 4 months the board to approve that rate so that is what this legislation does what every other piece of legislation does as well. >> i guess i understand that piece of it and maybe this could be the answer could be saved for next week if you don't have an answer once that's established and then the city vendor that works for the city drives some stuff in how does one know when to trigger the prevailing wage for them and when do you come to ours and monitor that? >> i see so i apologize for
12:09 am

12:10 am
how to what the rate will be or required to pay the rate the loading and unloading it is concise for the driving question we've been talking with o lc the thought around how to establish a rate for driving politically happens through legislation. >> and i'm happy to come back with 0 more information next week. >> that's appreciated. >> with that, mr. rose, can we go to your report. for item one please. >> yes. mr. chairman, and members of the committee. on page 4 of our report we state that although the proposed ordinance can increase the wages for that special events on city property unknown as to whether or not those increased costs show a special events will reduce the special events on city property and consecutively

included in the 77 million as you recall we created 4 categories for the $310 million total housing bond when was passed by the voter in november we got public housing investment and locating housing and investment as well as a special category for investment in the mission neighborhood and middle-class housing as well we identified mr. starr needs we wanted to address with this money and that is to reserve some of the most vulnerable resident in san francisco and then we identified the uses of those funds for the low income category as well as the mission neighborhood category and seek to build new construction and we will be doing so soon i hope we issued a request for a proposal and are ready to announce the project
12:44 am
that can move forward in addition in this category we have additional funning for our small program that is a acquisition of rent-controlled properties to preserve the affordability in the units and stop the ada control we will be jump staring the reasons work on potrero two projects that are in desperate need and out there for 8 years we're excited to be breaking ground on those projects this year and finally middle-income housing didn't have stated or federal loan we have a loan program to expand our next door program and provide new opportunities for middle-income units across the city and with the next door program that will be used in
12:45 am
conjunction with our expanded down payment program and other programs we're working with the san francisco unified to help teachers get into affordable housing and just wanted to note that housing generally obligation bonds are different unlike an infrastructure project the city contracts, directly with the contractor we get loans to contractor who leverage those funds to get additional state and federal funding the construction work is actually procured by the developers you're going our loans pursuant to the city's procurement rules we follow we have in your packages the use of funds for the $310 million in the categories i'm concerned talked
12:46 am
about and well on our way we issued a request for proposals for the next. >> sorry ms. kately for the power point presentation do you have copies. >> i have a hardcopy. >> sorry we'll follow along on this. >> sorry about that so we issued a request for proposals for construction of new units on april 20th we've golden got the responses on july 11th and will be announcing the selected development teams shortly had nor responses than money to fund it but all the responses are great and the proposed uses were spread across the city for seniors, homeless households and protecting households included great community benefits we are excited again moving forward on those
12:47 am
with respect to public housing we'll have our first great britain on a public housing replacement site at the potrero this year and second to none daily will follow next year for tax credits in march those funds will allow to happen and create the city development work for subsequent phase and finally we've expanded our downtown assistance program to reach for households as well as is refund our kitchen next door program we're happy to say the first expansion the family that used the loan program was petri so it is great they're very excited about the site and we'll also be putting that middle-income money into the production of new units the first site of that is our seawall project on 88 broadway
12:48 am
that will have 15 percent of the family units slated up to one and 20 percent of area income oh, in addition certainly we'll be you're going in the next issuance will be voting money for the production of teacher housing going if the tax accurate medium area income and working with the school district on that so we will have a bond sale assuming your approval at boards approval in october and post the bonds in november and the parties will get going in fact, we've already for the down payment loan assistance program we've started the program and video a reimbursement program for pay back and back before you many
12:49 am
times on all the projects as you may know we do extensive outreach a loan committee that approves our loans for the public and also report, of course, to the go bond oversight committee so a lot of accountability so i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> oh, commissioner keane. >> this is so exciting to see something on the ballot and we're about to issue bonds and appropriate the funding for that much needed housing 90 in san francisco one of the things we've obviously heard a lot about how we help our teachers stay in san francisco so i know that again, you have the teacher next door program i wonder if you can can you talk about that
12:50 am
how your work with mohcd and sfmta how you're working together to support the teachers living in san francisco. >> great as you said a lot of work towards teacher housing in the last couple of years and many years before that there were in the past some obstacles and two main obstacles one was fair housing if you used federal or state funds it is hard to restrict housing to a certain occupation and the other it funding as i understand we're able to leverage your money with tax credits but householders above the ami medium area income for us to pay the cost of construction is really, really
12:51 am
expensive a couple of things happened in the last year one there is legislation pending on the governor's desk we firmly believe that will be signed shortly that allows skrukts to use their surplus go improvements for surplus housing and identifies the teacher housing as a state priority and a special state program that opposite side much the door for us to use the low income tax credits a lot of the issues will go away and with those bond funds we can pay that extra increment for the protecting housing more money available working with the unified school district they have surplus sites around the city and ready to fund the gap with mohcd with ios funds and other funds we have
12:52 am
and so we hope to get hundred units of affordable housing online in the next couple of years and get started soon so we want to replicate that modeled and through other measures whether working with dispensaries with inclusionary obligations and mixed income opportunities we can keep that going. >> those are great in terms of the state law that will be signed been little governor is that only for teachers or apply to other you know paraprofessionals. >> we specifically put - you know we worked on that legislation to make sure we can service paraprofessional employees of the unified school
12:53 am
district as well because the income ranges include people that are having incomes below 60 and 50 percent of medium area income that makes them eligible for tax credits and other higher paid employees for teacher that don't qualify for tax credits. >> thank you, again, for thank you for all your hard work we'll continue to have more detailed conversations with our department on all the projects in the cue and thank you for all you do and trying to find creative solutions to serve people from all walks of life and incomes. >> supervisor yee and in regards to the extended definition of educators one thing that gets left out in the
12:54 am

1:32 am
only increases because it few weeks can't go to school here anymore so we must keep city college free please, please continue to support that effort and doing everything we can to make it so one of the things i have been concerned about is making education more and more elite decreasing the number of poor people that can get an education in the city and in this nation and then when we make this more expensive your students can't afford to take anything by the core classes to learn a trade and learn skills and get a job when they scant afford to get the classes that teaches them critical innovate to believe every political hat
