abuse, there is a tremendous amount of mental illness and you can't do it all. we don't want to tell you to do it all, but you have an invaluable part of that process. so those are two messages. again, thank you for choosing the city and county of san francisco to work in and we'll be there to create more classes as more of our officers decide they want to have an even better life and retire and at the same time, we need to get enough officers to meet the challenges of population, and the needs of every one of our neighborhoods. thanks for being officers in the city and county of san francisco. chief . >> first of all real fast i'm with the mayor every wednesday and the joke you heard i have to hear those every wednesday when i meet with him [laughter ]so the sympathy should be flowing my way. the incident that the mayor was talking about wasing at

market and jones and it was a support armed with a firearm and the officer showed incredible restraint and saves that mans a life. i have since met with the mother and father of the man's life that was saved and they are incredibly grateful to the san francisco police department. they spent about two hours praising our efforts, and giving us kudos for making sure that resolved the way it did. that is what we're trying to push forward and we all understand it's not always going to work out in our favor and things that happen that are well beyond the control of anybody wearing that uniform and we need to make sure we're crystal clear on that, but at same time, to approach every situations a life-saving situation. the department is moving in a different direction and we're trying to be at the front of this and not the back of the line. i just sat in an awards ceremony, voting process for department members to get

silver medals and awards and most of the recipients came up in situations that they tracked about what they did and talked about using time and distancing in deescalation. one an officer was stabbed in throat on the freeway on-ramp and went for his firearm which he reholstered to baton because he recognized that the situation changed and the individual no longer had the knife and he had presence of mind to think about it as it unfolded. another situation a gentleman was sharpening a knife and had residents holed because they were too afraid and they formulated the plan of creating time and distance and they subdued him and took him into custody without shooting him. arguably a year-and-a-half, two years ago the officer-involved shooting scenarios pure and simple. that is what we're trying to preach and push today and the group standing behind me are meant to give you additional

tools in the tool belt when you have those situation and the san francisco police department is proud to partner again with the department of public health on mental health services to the community and the san francisco police have worked with department of public health for years including mobile crisis teams providing assistance to child crisis services which helps youth in crisis. this new team of clinicians standing behind me isa valuable to san francisco police officers to support negotiators in the field and conduct crisis assessments and debrief persons involved and affected by incidents, and consult with victims and provide crisis services. they are going to also assist with our ongoing crisis intervention training program to help our officers improve their ability to recognize people with behavioral health problems. this program is part of an ongoing reform system that the department has undertaken over the past year and again, i'm talking about the san francisco police department being the lead, not following, not picking things up from everybody else.

we were using a model that is still effective, but there is say better model. and our people are now researching that model to bring it to san francisco with dealing with people in crisis. that is part of us taking the lead. we're under a collaborative reform initiative review by the department of justice right now that we invited in. because again, all of these changes are meant to make us better. so i want us all to make sure we embrace it and look behind me at these white jackets with another tool for the san francisco police department to use to enforce the sanctity of life on the streets and save people, because that is our primary mission to preserve life. i want to introduce director. >> thank you you and thank you all of you and i saw you standing at attention to so long and you are so fortunate to be part of a city and part of a police force that are going to be at the head of

many police forces in this country in terms of really understanding the impact of substance-abuse and mental health on many of the individuals that you may meet. behind me is a team that we have been over the last decade working very closely with the police, and coming to any incidents of violence and providing assessments and support to family members. we're going to be expanding this team with three clinical psychologists and social workers to work deeper with all of you and give you training how to engage and meet the needs of many of these individuals. and also, i have been on the calls and some of these interventions that the police chief talked about, and we believe we can really give you really important information about the background of an individual, who you may be negotiating with. and so we're very proud. i'm very proud of the team that is behind you in the white coats and i'm very proud of the team in the blue. and together we're going to be really providing you, i believe, some essential training and also support.

and we believe that doing this together, we can reduce -- improve the health of many of the individuals who you are going to come in contact and reduce the incidents that we have at times when we have to be more forceful with individuals. so we look forward to this. we're going to be quickly hiring these individuals, and the police will be involved with this in hiring. so we have the right type of individual who will work with us closely and by the new year, we'll be really working closely and responding. in between now and then, this team behind me will be taking that place until our new staff is expanded. we're 24/7, and we're located in the bay view, but we travel throughout the city in order to provide these services. so i want to thank you for your attention today and we look forward to working with you, and proud to see all of you today becoming new police officers. [ applause ]

>> for more than the past year tida has been working with the public office of finance with the outside consultant and the treasure island to develop treasure island to talk about the districts participated as part of treasure island and bringing those of intent tic did has been a apron and the project was entitled in 2011 beginning in 2014 the developer ramped up they're predevelopment design work submitting 89 first phase and sub phase application to the city to review and approval in anticipation of the first land transport happened in may of 2013 with the sub phase application we transferred the first parcels to the developers

in february of this year and they have commenced on demolition on yerba buena island and treasure island and issued the first subcontractors - the documents approved in 2011 included a number of related plans and documents the critical to the financing of the program are the disposition and agreements and the attached financing plan that called for the formation of those districts the development program of the island as a whole includes the development of 8 thousand new homes actually more than 25 percent of which will be affordable up to 5 hundred new hotel rooms and half a million square feet of office space and significant range of public benefits three hundred acres of open space

entirely new roadway systems and transportation facilities including a new ferry terminal on, on the island and improving treasure island and preps for current aid future sea level rise the financing and d da called for them to provide all the public and private improvements on the island and for the city to provide for the formation of an infrastructure and revitalization financing for districts and the community facilities district for public financing for improvements to reimburse - with the beginning of the activities on the island it is time for us to go through the process of forming those district and we're issuing that process with you today

in terms of backward on the collections that finance that flow to the ifd and efd starting with the operational within tpr the district that's the one percent property taxes and the go bond gas stations out of the property taxes 35.3 percent of that goes to the state and other regional agencies and roughly 65 percent is for the city of san francisco under our financing plan 56.7 percent of that tax is dedicated to the infrastructure financing district and an additional 8 percent of that flows to the

general fund but subordinated to the financing of district helps to provide a ratio for the debt issued the bonds issued against the district the cf z is the special tax assessed on properties within the cf d in addition to the traditional property taxes so the recommendations is that we have before you are 3 resolutions to fibrillator the formation of index rfp and two resolutions for the frorms of cf u those will be followed by a number of resolutions which we're introduced at the full board yesterday as well as two ordinances one of these recesses approving the infrastructure financing plan will come back to this committee in november

and the additional resolutions in ordinance will be held - heard before the full board at a public hearing anticipated on december 6th this lays out the timeline for some of the actions as i mentioned the introductions happened yesterday for the follow-up resolutions and those will be heard here in committee or the one resolution will be heard in committee on november 2nd and then the hearing before the full board on december 6th including the public hearing and the election for the formation of the districts. >> a little bit of update on the status of program this map is the portion of the island that have been transferred boy tida to the navy and the bottom of the map have been transferred and there is a significant additional areas that will be transferred over the next 18

months with the final happening at the end of 2020 and 2021 we as i mentioned have the gun demolition on the island all the obsolete structures an yerba buena have been demolished and the demolition will start on the waterfront and treasure island is on the way the developers is also advertised or awarded several contracts with the reservoir contract have been bid the yerba buena island utility and right-of-way infrastructure is expected to mobilize next month the dbi technical package is out for bid right now and the utility and right-of-way infrastructure in the sub phase on treasure island is expected to steady the bid before the end

of the year. >> so more detail on the i f r d works with the city's share the property taxes 56.9 percent of the pledged to the district and 8 percent is subordinated the i r f d is reimbursed quality and our source for public if his honor please, our the affordable housing development this map shows the project will be formed a total 55 project areas one of the advantages the ability to establish different project areas that will have different periods of time over which the tax increment will be approved for the financing

as we move forward an additional sites is prepared for development we'll continue to annexation those this is a special tax for the rates put forward progression and similar to the i f r d with the public improvements and there is also our long term source for the maintenance of the parks and open space on the island and intended to develop a capital reserve for the implementations of sea level rise adaptation as we move forward so as i mentioned first 42 years of bond issues are going to be

committed to the reimbursement of public infrastructure as part of the development as well as continuing to fund ongoing park maintenance costs but then after that the initial period we'll develop a capital retail use or reserve up u up to a quarter of a million dollars for the sea level rise adaptations and after 99 years if not triggered earlier we'll convert to the c to continue in perpetuity for the parks and open spaces this map shows the initial improvement areas for the suggestion of the parcels on yerba buena island as we move forward we'll annexation additional properties on treasure island into the cf d. >> so we stand before you today sapgsz we have been working on the project for for over a year to bring the measures to the

board and if we're able to move forward we intend to hold the public hearing on december 6th and move forward to validate the formation next year and initiate the cf d i'll be happy to take questions and nadia from the office of financing. >> thank you director beck supervisor yee first. >> thank you for your presentation i want to understand the rate for the cf d is one percent? >> or is it variable. >> the cf d there are per

square footage assessments from based on the type of development so not set as a percentage of property taxes in most cases that will equal between one .5 and one .6 percent i'm sorry .5 a .6 of the assessed value on top of the assessed one percent. >> is that in the taxation. >> i did not include that that the presentation part of the resolution of intention to form the cf d and exhibit that to the r m a the rate of proportion. >> once the proposed rate a set initially it is pretty much the rate at move forward or would that change. >> it would be the rate that will moved on the properties

within the initial improvement areas agreement or each time an annexation of properties the rates will be reexamined and increased if appropriate based on escalation of the property values. >> so the estimate is 10.5 million annually that will go into the general fund to support infrastructure that the amount that will be for this particular parcel of land? >> the 10.5 is i believe the amount of review in $2,016 that will flow to the general fund in excess of all project

obligations and in excess of all newly new general fund expenses generated as a result of the project as much as the new police and fiction on the island that $10.5 million a requester is the current assess of all project and project driven general fund that expenses versus in any general fund reviews. >> i get that part but the calculation is it based on the first annexation of parcels or based on that we'll annexation a lot more. >> that's based on the entire program and in terms of the cf d it nor create a general fund

obligation as a supplemental taxation in addition to the standard at the property taxes. >> the i r f d that effects the general fund also. >> thank you so i know that in your presentation and talked about building up to 89 thousand homes that will three percent of them are affordable my understanding there is a target of maybe 27 percent in terms of affordability and just in general for the affordable housing portion my understanding is that the i f d would not necessarily cover essentially there will be a gap in funding affordable housing on treasure island can you talk a little bit about issue and how we'll address that in the future. >> and so two points in terms of number of affordable housing

units the development plan the d da and the housing plan called for minimum of 25 percent affordable but it provides the city the option to increase from 2000 to 2000 one and 73 housing units that will be the 27 percent you registered we can exercise that option in terms of the number of units that will be built singles the financing plan was adopted in 2011, we seen an excavation - so that's contributing to a gap and a few other factors that factor into our debt certain funding sources available in 2011 at the federal

level not currently available we have a base gap we've been working with the office of public financing and the mayor's office and the mayors budget staff to analyze alternatives to fill the gap that includes local resources some will be generated by the state with the motorist license vehicle fees and seek support at the state level for the reconstitution of a redevelopment level of support where the state will attribute some of the rap share generate as a result of the project and grant opportunity like the sustainable community which is a

carbon tax that certainly million dollars to the project area. >> debris know that today, the items are to set up the the r f d so keeping the board posted by celebrations or considerations of how we're going to address that funding gap that would be great. >> we're looking forward to abrogating on the first affordable project in 2018 and looking forward to put our fencing plan in place. >> supervisor yee. >> yeah. this is not a budget question but in regards to the affordable housing piece of it what are we looking at in terms of the ami. >> so the range of affordability it is intended for treasure island is from zero to

one and 20 percent of ami with the main medium to be 50 percent of ami. >> thank you. >> at this time let's going to the budget analyst report yes on package 15 of the report bans the assessed value of initial project areas over 43 years if 2018, 2019 to 2000 61, 62 it estimates one billion dollar and one and $52 million plus of conditional increment will be generated for is revitalization financing district that is over the 43 year term that otherwise

have would have been allocated to the general fund using those estimate the maximum amount that is allocated to the general fund is billion dollars plus we also note that the proposed community facilities district will not have fiscal impact it levies an assessment paid by the property owners this is in addition to the pharynx and on page 16 of the report we noted it is shown in figure 7 that the overall project is amended to generate surplus to the general fund of approximately $338 million and plus a surplus of 6 hundred thousand per year and amended to generate surpluses of 200 and one million dollars plus an annual surplus

on build out of three hundred thousand to the mta and the resolution fund and in conclusion on page - because of the proposed infrastructure and revitalization financing district in the community facilities district are consist with the extremity agreement between the city and the transportation authority and the disposition between the yerba buena island and yerba buena island, llc as previously approved by the board of supervisors we do recommend approval of those resolutions. >> thank you, very much. mr. rose at this time opening up for public comment i have one comment card from chair wiener williams but if there is anyone else please come on up. >> i'm with the treasure island initiative we're here to urge your support the formation

of those district is very important in terms of generating the funds that will allow our affordable housing project to go forward we have our first project is funded and as supervisor tang noted there is still a gap there we're hopeful through all the mechanisms we'll be able to fill those gaps it is critical important we have those mechanisms available to obtain the yes, i did. >> funds we urge your support and in terms of the community facilities district a lot of the maintenance work we are currently done on treasure island done to the workforce training opportunity programs we support that as well thank you >> anyone wish to comment on item number 3 through 7 please come on up seeing none, public comment is closed. if we can get a motion items 3

through 7. >> i'll make that motion to pass item 3 to 7 with a positive recommendation to the full board. >> all right. without objection and with supervisor farrell absent. >> thank you very much for being here. >> mr. clerk item 8. >> resolution authorizing the transportation authority to execute a communication with the bart to negotiate licensed agreement with carriers to extend the ground commercial fiber and infrastructure to the sfmta underground system. >> thank you very much and i see we have coner johnston from supervisor president london breed's office. >> thank you vice chair coner johnston chief of staff with london breed about 3 and a half years ago i was complain on the

n judah i can't text or read the news and couldn't answer her calls but there are 200 thousand people everyday that ride not - who ride the muni who are deprived of cell coverage and before supervisor president london breed asked me to work on that project to see what we can do i began working with muni and are we there yet? and the project started to gain steam with director nick of the bart board and then the mta chief financial officer came on board and the 3 of us pushed this and what the item before you i think i'm quoting harvey rose correct me if i am wrong mr. rose the most phenomenal deal i've seen in any 60 years of budget analyst because what bart will do is negotiate with those carriers they'll pay for

the approximate $6 million in capital costs to provide the service in the tunnel and also pay annual fees to the mta so we'll be able to provide cell services so for the 200 million muni riders to text their family and work if their train is detailed and not only that service but we'll make money this is truly a win-win been great to work on. thank you to nick and others and on london breed ask for your support. >> thank you very much and mr. johnson i remember my legislative aide bringing this up and someone is running late they can't tell their boss with all due respect we've seen no movement but glad to see an agreement before us with that, i don't know if none from sfmta is

so provide a presentation. >> gail i'm joined by travis from bart we just want to say we're excited to be moving forward with that project and mr. rose office has a complete report. >> i know that mr. johnson talked about that but can you in terms of the i guess the license fee contribution that will result from this contract how does that work. >> bart will be leading the discussion so i'll let the gentleman address that. >> thank you travis manager of information systems with the bay area rapidly bart has been doing a study the revenue is dependent upon on the number of hosts to the idea we the evidence will then show existing radio equipment and add cellular and build to large enough for the carriers to join the next i

don't know that is reasonable to say whether the participation may save one to $3 million that will be divide between the agencies. >> in mr. rose's report it said mta for example, would receive 20 percent of license fees for areas controlled and or used by bart and 50 percent the license fees controlled by sfmta; is that correct. >> the decision it bans ownership of the property. >> the construction period. >> estimated between 12 and 18 months anticipate after the city and county of san francisco approves it will go to the bart board and begin negotiations and hopefully construction on the cellular early in the summer of next year. >> okay. on the mta side i think i read in the resolution that it will not only benefit customers but sfmta in terms of

our own equipment can you talk a little bit about that and how that will be helpful to improve mta reception. >> i'll talk about that the idea was a neutral host system it is shared infrastructure before the transit and the commercial carriers the antenna have shared by the groups there is a lie helpful the tuning to have accurate cell phone calls and hundreds of thousand of people on the network it greater than the needs of radio purposes there is maintenance of the equipment there will be teams of r f radio frequency engineers to help to solve the problems and cellular connectivity you're talking about extending cellular

phone also core benefits. >> did mta have anything else to add maybe you can translate this to improvement of customer service. >> you've phone will work in the underground areas you'll be able to look at schedules and send and receive e-mails to get on the web and another thing that ground will provide finally location service center that is key a rider want to know where they are and where to go to find their designation. >> i meant your equipment or procedures will improve on given the new reception will the new riders see improvements. >> it is really to address the

cellular system i'm not the it expert i can't give you an answer but we expect to see cellular improvements and also not just to help you with work but also emergencies if people needs to call home or a larger emergency that is more assess to phones if you want a more technical response we'll get it to you. >> thank you very much supervisor yee. >> yeah. so in regards to the services for the cell phone is the great if it is along the bart line i'm curious because connor was talking about the n judah going through the tunnel and the twin peaks will that cover that area. >> it covers all underground mta property the ones currently ground and the ones built to

extend the network to all the regions the above ground network is covered with the antennas it is difficult to penetrates 3 stories underground that's what we're focused on. >> so it includes the twin peaks tunnel and n judah that tunnel. >> right. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you last question might be more rhetor rhetorical can don't care to long. >> that's a good question for the city and county of san francisco and mta bart has been - it's been a shame we don't have the cellular service on the muni level what the downtown bart stations and montgomery and embarcadero the agencies have wanted to do a deal and e-mails and communications back and forth but it took i think the right amount of juice to get it over the goal line. >> thanks connor i guess

(laughter) no, thank you i shouldn't take credit but director and others were phenomenal in making this happen and bart deserves a lot of credit they were enthusiastic about making it happen. >> thank you bart now let's go to our budget analyst report on the best deal mr. rose has ever seen. >> madam chair and supervisor yee owe didn't use the precise words that connor stated this is an outstanding deal for the city i agree with them and noted that mr. connor used in one reference uses the word steam he hope he was not steamed over this. >> (laughter). >> on page 21 we report that sfmta 123e789s the construction for extending the bart network will take between 12 and 18

months once an agreement is reached the total estimation cost 2 had the $9 million and paid by the cellular carriers no anticipated costs to bart or the sfmta and as i've stated sfmta didn't have an estimate at this time as to the fee revenues to be received by the sfmta we do recommend that i approve that resolution. >> thank you very much and so at this time i don't see any other questions or comments opening up for public comment anyone wish to comment on improved cell all right. public comment is closed. mr. clerk i'd like to add any name if we can get a motion. >> i can make a motion a motion to send it to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> and without objection

with supervisor farrell absent item 9 please. item 9 resolution to authorize the department of emergency management and the department of technology to enter into a citywide meg hurts with the mortuary role not to exceed $76 million. >> i see someone in the department of emergency management. >> i'm michelle with the department of emergency management that the project sponsor for the radio replacement an jackson and want to come and talk about the program and give you a little bit of background with the system currently the city owns and maintains the public radio system that is used a daily by over 20 city departments and outside agencies that system is use daily one hundred thousand talks on a daily basis from

integer with police communicating with police in the field and talking to capture and the services did not like the puc that use the system as they operate around the city the systems that are currently in operation 15-year-old in 2000 and are now becoming out of vendor support and the emergency radios that are carved by the police officers and firefighters are breaking at a considerable rate and now more and more unreliable so to address that problem fiscal year 2014-2015 approved an it project to replace the system at this point we had estimate the project was roughly $28 million and convened an steering committee and convened

a project team with the department of emergency management and department of technology second the company to replace the system we've been in negotiation with them and as part of negotiations process we've been able to combine both the public safety and the public service radios and combine with the airport radio systems to create and bold one network that will be supported by all city departments and we feel this is the most efficient way to build 9 network and several benefits as part of the new system more importantly the radios that are used by the police and firefighters are going to be able to be inoperable not only in san francisco but if they are

called out on a strike team outside of city limits throughout but fwaur they'll be able to take their radios the radios have battery life not only in buildings but building two new radio sites in the bayview and the san bruno jail the systems hinduism redundant and also be able to implement a gps to track officers in times of emergencies there are a lot of benefits with that system and so we're here today with a request to approve a contract with the motorola but the majority of radios that operate over 9 thousand radios we're

anticipating as also part of the progress it is a large contract large dollars value and several others competing projects that are happening throughout the city so what coit recommended a financing arrangement we're able to finance the deficit the counteracting and ask an approval to enter into a contract for $35 million to - we've been able to obscure a 10 year financing arrangement very low interest rate so this is a good feel for the city and we would like to enter into a long term maintenance argument with motorola that will not - 24/7 technical support, onsite on

downtime but upgrade the network every two years it is critical so we continue to use and operate on a current supported vendor platform by entering into the maintenance agreement we had 20 percent savings by this multi year contract and have the opportunity to get back finances for the outdoor agency that use this system. >> as far as the budget and schedule the budget analyst office did an excellent job in going through the cost estimate which you see in the report but originally coit approved a $78 million project we're under that that includes the finances into the contract as of now on

budget with the program and then in order to build the system a project that will take several years we're anticipating 4 years for the transition but if we approve that contract in the next several weeks here we're on track to ship 26 hundred affordable radios for the police and fire department so they'll be able to start using those radios as early as next year. >> that's all i had for the presentation i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> okay. thank you very much and i know you mentioned the systems would be integrated across the departments it is really a great thing i. >> is a that was mentioned the sfmta has a system with a different company it appears the systems will be compatible so. >> and also important that the

same technology so the public safety radios what about programmed to prerequisite on the muni network and our anticipation is that we use it as a back up for the public safety and public service radio system we're planning to trj of many feasibility. >> thank you. great supervisor yee. >> yeah, this will be really exciting we'll fund and upgrade our system i have one question in regards to the length of the contract for maintenance of 18 years couldn't think of a logical reason 18 years why a reason 18 years. >> that's a great question the first 3 years of the maintenance agreement so maintain our current system as we start to build the new system the first 18 are lower costs and to maintain the current network and

then we have roughly a year of warranty and 15 years arrangement to maintain the new system and 15 years based on looking at our current system right now our current system is over 16-year-old we we use that a benchmark to guide obvious on the length of the maintains a very xeevens combraefr so we're not having to renovate, upgrade and replace all our network. >> would it make sense to make that a 10 year contract and the option to extend 5 more years so 10 years from now you could -

right now, we're thinking we're senateer in the future and we'll protect the future with the rated in which technology is approving seems like 18 or 10 years from now the base will be different i can't imagine. >> that's an excellent point we did look at different models of how we would do the maintenance arrangement and looked at it upgrades in 6 years and again in 12 years but arrangement that motorola said a 15 years there was a savings by the bundles and have the option to modify that and standard provisions for termination of non-appropriation as part of program if we have a change or major technology shift there is flexibility that the city has

i will say if you look at public safety radio communications in general the market didn't move and quickly as you see in the consumer electronics a little bit different type of technology. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. i think that supervisor yee was getting to some of the points i was going to raise i'm glad to see the built in upgrades and have currently we're not doing that at all out of curious so we're purchasing the equipment or the any models for leasing equipment so again, we're not in a situation maybe 18 years down the line we need a significant amount of money to purchase new equipment and invest in upgrades that is for over a shorter are period of time. >> we did ask for that type of arrangement and different

arrangements as part of rf process models in some instances motorola has a model they own the network and city and counties use the network they have different models with the standard traditionally model. >> i'm guessing because with the proper maintenance we're hoping that will still be beneficial in a pretty - i mean new term for a long term. >> yes. absolutely and the system will be upgraded the bay stations will be upgraded we'll still have to tie in a 10 year period look at a refresher program for the affordable radios and working with the mayor's office roadway on how we can look at long term replacement strategy for the actual portable radios on the

network. >> i think this is obviously very, very important for our city and you know, i think we're all pretty sure behind that given that is a large dollar amount it it takes time and resources to refresh our system and trying to make sure whatever agreement make sense for us in the long term. >> all right so at this time oh, supervisor yee something else mr. rose. >> yes. madam chair and supervisor yee on page 31 the first 4 years of maintenance agreement the maintenance costs will be the same three hundred and 20 thousands annually as motorola maintains the system but in 2021 to 200022 plus over

one million dollars unanimously and on page 32 of our report a table 8 shows the estimated cost for the radio replacement is one and $5 million plus and we do are recommend you approve that resolution. >> thank you, mr. rose. >> so at this time opening up for public comment if anyone is here to speak on item 9 seeing none, public comment is closed. (laughter) oh, i'm sorry was there someone oh, okay sorry we'll reopen public comment for item 9 my apologies >> good morning tom president of the firefighters i'll wear my sneakers next time i'll here to speak on behalf of the firefighters we totally support this radio system it is transmittal for the firefighters going forward that allows the

fire department to replace our radios upgrade the infrastructure to a modern public safety standard i'll include radio coverage by especially in the below market rate and more importantly for firefighters tolerated our ability for communication and lastly that provides improved technology for lost firefighters in an emergency situation as the san francisco fire department we approve that. >> anyone wish to comment on item number 9 i'm scanning the room all right. now public comment is closed. all right. supervisor yee. >> i'll make a motion to pass that out of committee with a positive recommendation to the full board. >> without objection. >> mr. clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body? >> that completes the items

for today. >> thank you. we're adjourne

>> really glad to have you here for this dedication ceremony for the new air traffic control tower at sfo we'll begin our speaking portion and spanned a welcome to michael administrator. >> (clapping.) >> thank you very much and good

morning san francisco and . >> morning. >> i'm delighted to be back in any home state of california and i want to begin by welcoming everyone who took time out from in their busy schedules to join us today what we're celebrating a significant milestone it is a significant milestone for the faa and san francisco international airport city and county of san francisco and for the millions and millions of travelers that pass there to at&t park every year it is undertaking and completion was the result of something unique a unique partnership i'm wondering talk about that in just a moment before i do that i want to recognize some distinguished guests wave or you're all standing wave when i call your name alice if nancy

pelosis office alex there he is. >> (clapping.) >> karen chapman for congresswoman aaron. >> (clapping.) >> okay kathleen deputy for jackie spier and, of course, my great friend the honorable mayor ed lee. >> (clapping.) >> and mayor, i have to take a moment and thank you for eyes and ears to represent the u.s. conference of mayors as we look at the next century of aviation my history with san francisco at&t park goes back a way to the 1980s and early 1990s when i lived here and executive director of port of san

francisco san francisco is changed a lot since then and so has this airport those days you even though emigrate feeling when you come into that building you stepped into an architecture digest spread as stroll through certain parts of airport including the spot we're gathered in with this incredible view of the tower that is rising upright behind us here now san francisco has proven that infrastructure can be fundamental and eloquent at the same time as faa administrator i objective find myself reflecting on the big infrastructure projects as much as how important that these investments are to our national economy and aviation

and era space are 5 percent of the gross domestic product some 12 million american jobs that is working in the aviation and era space industry to say for those investments continue because they contribute to great jobs for american workers and help to insure that our transportation system is going to remain save and plea of for many, many decades to come i also find myself thinking about all the core graphed work into planning, designing and building those structures and i'd like to acknowledge some of the groups who's close collaboration insured the process was moved and efficient and it was safe our air traffic managers and kroerldz and the national air

traffic controllers association those people not only operate this tower but are involved in the planning and design and the functionality of this tower from the very beginning our technical operations managers the technicians and the professional specialist who are responsible for maintaining this facility in the infrastructure in it the project design built team architects and others and, of course, our faa engineering services personnel and the leadership right here at san francisco airport and the construction management team now faa and sfo are not strangers to working collaboratively with one another in the last few years we've worked closely to improve runway safety and skis in more arrivals

when the bad weather comes in not a problem today but this control tower to the collaboration to a new level what we added at the faa was a no air traffic control tower that met the schematic standards and which met all of our operational needs sfo wanted a tower that reflected the city its unique culture and distinguished itself from every other air traffic control tower in the era space system do you think they've succeeded. >> (clapping.) >> now on top of that the structure had to be integrated into the existing airport

terminals that is no easy feat in an air traffic controller that at&t park that has as busy and come pack as san francisco bus because of the unique circumstances the few agencies shared the costs of this project and in a striking departure from the faas normal way of doing busy 70 designed the tower and oversaw united states construction work while insuring the twoeb tower was built to faa specifications and so i really have to sweat shirt to the team here at san francisco airport that did a great job. >> (clapping.) >> now this was a pretty ambitious undertaking neither of our agrees are used to doing business we're controllers we like to be in control.

(laughter) so to make this collaborative approach work each of the agencies need to relinquish some of that control to the other now our engineering team told me earlier today when i was walking around the facility this approach - they didn't know there approach would have worked with any other airport authority anywhere in the country and at the is that the key to the success here at sfo was an exceptionally professional trust worthy and flexible partnering at san francisco airport i know your to hell in a hand basket at tower that is 200 he 21 feet tall the cab is 6 hundred and 50 square feet and gives our controllers unobstructed views of airport

runways and take ways contains sfpuc air traffic controller equipment a a host of green features that reflect the faa and san francisco's shared commitment to responsible environmental stewardship that reflects the similar culture of our two agencies we both embrace tough tasks and embrace pushing the envelope to see what we can accomplish when we see a challenge we don't not only try to that how we'll get it done safely and get it done efficiently so i'd like to express my sincere thanks to all the remarkable people at the faa, the san francisco international airport and everyone who played a role no planning, building and outfitting this now tower

the work you did and the work that you are all continuing to do is going to help make san francisco the safety, and the most efficient airport possible for many, many decades to come thank you very much >> (clapping.) >> thank you >> thank you administrator and now it's my pleasure to welcome the mayor of san francisco mayor ed lee. >> (clapping.) >> thank you good morning giants. >> yeah. >> this is a great day and i want to again welcome the administrator michael who has a history with our city but he said it all it is he is absolutely correct i truly building and am thankful what we

described the faa wouldn't do this with any airport you have to have the right team the high barrow to the 70 team and the faa team put together with interests, with the h n t b corporation and pencil phelps creating that team that had the faith and shared cost is incredible to have this new control tower done it is one that i know we're going to be proud of for many decades as the administrator said it sits between two airport runways here the terminals between one and two and see iconic views at the top i've had the pleasure to do an unobstructed view of the

entire airport that, of course, was ultimately needed in this modern facility it is modern not that radar system that will be able to get introduce any fog no matter how thick it is to be able to see the airport by the way, 16 million people coming every year with all the planes and the way we configured them the type this is have to be contingencies thank you to the air traffic controllers everyone for keeping our airport save everyday and flight everyday tight and we're not to be to be expanding more runways we'll be environmental partners through the entire area and figure out outlet ways to increase the flight that want to be here in this great city and region he is

to the entire team congratulations i say that you know when you think about this tower is in and of itself the way it is constructed and designed it is invite and creative it has the environmental sustainability and ultimately that i think it is iconic whether you think about it we've got iconic symbols in san francisco golden gate bridge, the accosting and the cable cars the way this was done i have to say in my own words this adds to the iconic facility our control tower and sfo now another place people will come and see and marginal i can't wait to see it lit in orange

congratulations, everyone. >> (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. mayor now, please welcome the airport correct of 70 i vary and thanks doug it was orange and been orange more than a couple of days and i hope in weeks it will be orange a lot of work and talent but thank you all for being here today that is really a wonderful event and it is 6 years in the making and it took such a collaborative partnership with the faa and with our design partners and construction partners that is a proud day for us i want to also acknowledge some important people to our airport if i could vice president linda is here linda. >> (clapping.) >> >> thank you for coming it is wonderful to have you, you

here and also i want to thank the administrator for being here that is a pleasure to have you here and show off our wonderful facilities thank you for the kind words and mr. mayor for our tremendous support as well and this has been such an amazing collaboration it took the faa as an organization to help to put 3 program together i'm appreciative of work with the folks bad actor in d.c. when we were developing that the local a v o office and the project staff that were completed and compassionate to two cultures coming together that do something successful and something exciting for the safety off our airport area and someone i need to recognize our

retired airport director john martin under who is leadership this project started and completed i know that john would be very proud of this accomplishment and worried about he could be here today but a tremendous lead for our airport yeah. >> (clapping.) >> and so you you know this is a significant day for sfo that is the launch of our new icon at the airport i think of if in the context of starting a new era in the transformation of 70 at the beginning of a $5.7 billion capital program including the tower, excluding major terminal renovations and including a grand hyatt hotel on the airport and conveniences and amenities that continue to elevate us oas world-class airport for the next 5 or 8 years will be

tremendously existing this tower is truly special for the airport the collaboration and the partnership was tremendous from day one and i think the trust that the faa showed in sfo that we could deliver this successfully was a wonderful acknowledgement of what sfo can do as a team and airport i think about the innovation of this tower that is you'll notice some interesting features including the offset design it gives great viability for the the air traffic controllers and the schematic destine it is the first vertical concrete did i get it right jim - concrete structure in the us that withstands a 8 point plus earthquake following events and also the new technology going

into they are with the runway status that will be part of safety features of this tower and so you know this is an if a of a tower reflecting a seamless ambitious engineering and operational excellence with iconic design and been a recipient of a number of awards and recognized from the architecture industry and it is showing so much how we deliver projects as an airport and our core security of our airport engaging in a partnering collaborative project delivery process also a thoughtful integration of public art look over there. >> thoughtful integration of our art into our architecture and a passion for the experience and, of course, that commitment to sustainability and i'm proud

to announce this tower has received lead gold certification it is official. >> (clapping.) >> thanks mark. >> and so with that, we're very proud to have another iconic symbol providing a beacon of safety for the people of the san francisco bayview and around the world that's correct so much important being here. >> (clapping.) >> thank you i bar. >> our next speaker the president of the professional airways specialist please welcome mike perry iron. >> good morning professional aviation specialist we changed our name because safety is very, very important in the past as to

the faa and to the underlying public that's what we do and do that well your folks behind the scenes they make sure that the arborists have the except up upcoming in bad and good weather 24/7 and have to maintain the existing equipment all the powder of the airport is equipment has to stay upcoming while we're getting this new tower upcoming a double workload do it well, that's what we do best i want to applaud everyone the administrator folks and the air traffic controllers everyone got together to do this and sfo it was unique and done differently than in the past i got an opportunity to visit the tower earlier today as you may know it is a model like i said decades to come people will be

looking at this tower and say what a great job and it is important we continue to move forward modernizing the air traffic controllers system to keep it going safely and smoothly day to day and the only time you notice us when those cameras see a problem and then we make the papers and television today is the day we want you to know the probation officer; right? the days you due hear about us folks and brothers and sisters in florida and the east going went through a traumatic hurricane so one other note while i'm here in san francisco i'm routing for the giants. >> (clapping.) >> if you can't tell i have an

east coast accent i'm a yankees fan now i'm wondering route for the nationals and see a banner up here san francisco giants are champion again so thank you >> (clapping.) >> thanks mike it is good so have one extra fan our final speaker representing the national air traffic controllers association. >> thank you administrator for coming out here an honor to be with you and with the navy and stakeholders and building this no facility i'm proud to represent this is very important the only way air traffic controllers sit right now where the tower is 60 years old the

original tower in 1954 was the beginning in 1981 that building was updated and the the record will so show gained a larger tower with the operation of equipment for safety today san francisco controllers handle one half million flight with over 50 million passengers in the tower we have everybody from aviation tours to the golden gate bridge and the boring 787 and is underlying the longest commercial routes in the world the new tower is 200 and 20 feet at all thaurn the old tower maybe not a huge difference but the air traffic controllers a better view for arriving and depatching airport and it is to

withstand a 8 plus earthquake without damage and survived the loma prieta earthquake the new tower is a between you testament to share the project and we're proud of partnership newcomers controllers fall within the management team from the design all the way to decide where to put up equipment everything is laid out in a specific manner for safety air traffic controllers technicians and managers in san francisco work together truthfully so design a wonderful tower with cutting-edge technology and with surveillance capacity and radar included is a big deal touch screens display screens for the service that's the bottom line

the new facility is not only better but better for the environment and mentioned earlier the facility has a led gold certification that levels very different difficult to obtain the tower is open twenty-four hours a day on behalf of the air traffic controllers station i want to thank all the hard working individuals and thanks fewer professionalism and dedication thank you >> (clapping.) >> thank you very much jerry. >> now it is time to turn on the new facility we've had several the speeches reference those panels how led lighting tonight they'll be lit in orange it is difficult to see now but nevertheless, we are going to

ask our administrator to officially turn on the lights if you turn on a big lighting you need a big switch in order to do this so we've got this large light switch and ask our administrator and mayor ed lee to give you a count down from 3 and ready to join me in the count down 3, 2, 1. >> wow. >> there we go. >> thank you very much for joining is we'll begin the process of providing tours if you're interested in getting a tower of the tower cab see lynn and if everyone needs attire

the event was over he followed up with the planning department because they recently appealed the decision person trying to - they have a grandfather permit like 50 events a year and can only do event hold events for people that are part of association people that are part of neighborhood their trying to get an exemption to be able to do events outside like private events so i talked with planning about that and mr. larkin basically said they shouldn't be doing if their noise complaint we decide them that we should follow-up or whatever but nevertheless, this particular complaint i didn't find a noise issue that was over by the time i got there but following up and trying to figure out what is going on i suspect not a lot of information just someone in the

association having an event so may take ground work but handle by inspector burk moving on to the hedge barn kitchen that is last thursday the 13 of october 10th:30 a.m. they have a house system not very loud they have peaks at 92 they were not serving liquor they are doing corporate event not a loud situation that went off without a hitch no impact on the neighborhood behind them a shop there's a auto shop they don't have a neighbor attached to them and the only complaints they've gotten from the neighbors is in regards to patrons that leave

and too loud not a loud system update on club malibu last time i recorded by issues ventilation holes to their exterior and this is a picture of a ventilation and the fan they attached i went by once at the 11 o'clock on friday night zero impact and 2:00 a.m. because the neighbors complained about patrons living room about 2:10 a.m. sunday morning and nobody outside generally what i see when i go by going i don't see folks lingering i tried to schedule a so you would test with the neighbor closest to the venue their complaining the most we've been playing phone tag i left

them a message and tell them to e-mail and that way we have a record i haven't heard by the way, back but get a test and see what is going on they sent another complaint an sunday that was loud i did not see anything but nevertheless, a variance with their experience and their house what is going on the street so i'm going to follow up and try to figure that out situation out a couple of compliance items the blue light 1979 union street 15 of october under new management maggie suspected they're under new ownership their permit is expired by operating with a billiard table they'll be coming

in for a permit and the last issue the after hours 50150 i went but as 3:30 a.m. and did a visible inspection a busy party like the only major after hours party so it looked fine i mean, they, do better with the line we'll try to talk with them about. >> question. >> i'm confused it says venue is that the same thing as barn value. >> no. >> that's 5550. >> it is otherwise known as the human video game. >> oh, right. >> there's some other things that are interested in talking about we'll talk about offline. >> so o do they do that has a

human video game. >> i haven't seen it in awhile and maybe the first month. >> maybe not like for a year. >> is it just after hours. >> as far as i know i think so. >> don't they have a liquor license. >> they start before, after, hours i think they have a liquor license they're not supposed to be serving after two nevertheless, if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer them. >> i don't think so if they have a liquor license. >> that's. >> commissioners no questions pretty straightforward so one quick question about malibu do you think the case will close

soon it sounds like. >> once the sound test there will probably happen from any excellence p will happen they're going to the residence so fourth i can hear it inside the residence i don't want to jump to inclusions but the sounds like situation and want to follow-up hey i don't know if it will close soon and - but you know where we're managing it and maybe their definitely maybe there's something going on i can't preserve what is happening so - >> thank you for the update they're taking a lot of resources for such a small place let's move on to introoushgs. >> one of the complaints to report on geary we have a resident that has reached out in

the past about this sunday nights there they do a jazz jam and i've been told they're leaving windows and doors open working with the residents to center them reach out in realtime when i'm patrolling on days i plan on paying a visit this subpoenaed. >> talking with management and security sounds like a recent turnover in staff now they've left the issue. >> performed a followup on the armory this past sunday after updates to entry and exit ways on the doors on 14th street i took a.m. i did not measurements on wood ward and compared those

to low frequency sounds like levels during the day on sunday and so far as i can tell the measurement the investigators are looking at the space and in touch with the multiple residents on julia and on 14th street and at that point none recorded any kind of disturbance through conditions on sundays were not perfect that was a gathering in one of the part time buildings that was full of sound and the rain had an effect on the higher frequency it was apparent that was controlled but hard to gage the higher frequency due to the weather and didn't have access to the

departments moving i was able to increase the sound limit on the venue itself moving forward i hope to see myself and inspector, next item. >> pauley is look at the additional improvements and when the permit is installed it is important that we keep a close ear i did issue a notice of violation on jesse we got a complaint directly in the hotel across the street upon arrival there was a tour bus parked in on jesse that who's engine was running the manager at messing then said a second complaint from the plaza who lives in one of the

part times buildings i made sure and established ambient a couple of months back that night about who o two and a half decimals above ambient to i issued a notice of violation for the good neighbor policy number 8 violation of municipal police code we discussed they're familiar with the short power that is a high current power venue that is basically able to power touring vehicles so they don't have to run engines throughout the night their work on that we we'll check in before this weekend. >> i have a question.

>> yes. >> is the increased noise coming from the bus or the venue. >> i think i think the nature of a bus hum is so consistent and instant not necessarily disturbing people that internal revenue used to it but if it hums until the close of the night not as disturbing at the entering ment speak from the messing then i know based on how the meter was jumping the decimal in the alley was hitting over ambient from the beat of music the actual noise from the bus running didn't extend past the bus. >> watts was the but running or the generate. >> it was the buses engine the

generators are quieter. >> thank you a couple of places that i keep an eye on over the past weeks island 32 i have tendency to see police lights outside on that corner i think you remember a report from our past hearing and this one in particular i did stop in again and security e vehicle code a patron i talked to security thank you sounds like things were handled well in island 32 and like i'm doing with most of my inspections and conversation with security i'm encouraging and insisting that people have an intern report onsite getting case numbers and cab numbers whenever a police is

involved and making sure my number is on site and respond in realtime to take an assessment that happened with milan pete's we got 4 complaints today incident report from central station i told them the same thing 31 any alteration of violence or incidents with the police we need to hear about it. >> the milan pizza a permit holder. >> the end up this past weekend keeping an eye on them two weekends ago they're closed on saturday and sunday but the regular day party there seems to be in general disorganization on

site people showing up late equipment maybe not functioning up to standard some confusion about policy and i'm keeping really good notes about their partitioned generally nothing egregious to mention as of now but i think some overall lack of attendance to policy and lack of attention to detail is not a great combination one trying to keep them safe and sounds like i'm going out on a limb and making judgements i want to keep you guys posted since we've heard a lot about that. >> so head of security is not on the premise. >> on an event recently, i was there this was not this past sunday but the sunday before

they were scheduled to open at 2 i was onsite at 1:30 the head of security was not onsite the i b scanner was broken and that was dropped off shortly after scheduled to open i asked security if they thought that was a good idea to open the club without the head of security and after a short conversation thought it wouldn't be a good idea if i wasn't there. >> the owner of place. >> or wasn't there. >> he stopped by to drop off an i b scanner and i didn't see him again. >> no second in command. >> there's a manage onsite there is a doorman with a guard

card they don't consider necessarily as part of their security team more like a doorman so general confusion based on experience that. >> you said no medal detector it was found to the faulty and batteries. >> did they pat down or use the one hand. >> i don't recall once i found i knew the wand was working my attention shifted elsewhere. >> this was at 2 in the morning. >> in the afternoon another day party. >> thank you did they have a change in

staffing? something going on; right? i'm trying to figure out. >> so they have had the same management and ownership and i think some members of the security team have changed over he would have to do more research. >> okay. >> i mean this is not a hearing at the moment your updating us. >> i have one more question your experience with the operation they're not close on weekends are rerelatively crowded before 2:00 a.m. or are they more of the after hours crowd that is there? do you notice their packed or crowds are thin? or. >> i can't say necessarily

they've over crowding at any point they have lines i think they are some nights well attended and some nights not there is room to improve that change over when they move from the early parties to the morning party but i'm not seeing crowds uncontrollableable. >> the reason i was asking you was wondering from the crowds are 39 and the lack of attention is with the attendance falling off and money issues that's my trends of thought. >> i think crowds have thinned in recent weeks then this may has to do with the program switch has to do with i don't want to make guessed.

>> i was wondering it doesn't matter. >> i feel it is strong 1 o'clock there is no line but i left around that area at 2 there is a long line. >> they're getting door. >> it is 50 bucks or something. >> it is quite high they're making money somewhere. >> not a lack of income pushing their lack of - >> organization. >> thank you last note treasure island news this past weekend some rain delay and weather issues but sound was very much contained on the island and no complaints to

311 or sffd no complaints to the hotline. >> not have sound nature. >> not of the sound nature. >> great - >> any jane kim fans. >> i was wondering any comments if commissioners or questions. >> commissioner perez welcome. >> did you guys do any reports about the dream force event at palace. >> the u-2 concert. >> not that i'm aware of i'm seeking a lot of shacking heads to the negative. >> all right. any public comment on our inspector reports i don't see any public comment is closed. we'll move on to item number 4 police department questions or comments and none here to speak

for them move on to item 5 consent calendar so i actually instructed our deputy director of up to date items that needed our consent on consent agenda we only have one permit to be honest i would like to open up for a short presentation because we have only one permit and our guest is here why not come up i'll have director kane introduce it and tell us about users. >> sorry maggie is not here this evening but it looks like a i'll tell you more brand newing

i've not been there but excited just to be clear i think that commissioner frost had a hard time finding it the police department sent an e-mail to the deputy director on october thursday october 13th indicating that bayview station approved the live performance permit with only condition they would to see a monthly event calendar and e-mail will be adequate so that is just fyi in case it's not in our package. >> hello, i'm ed one of the 3 owners of harmonic also the before hrewer - we're in the s

ends up a production brewery with a small taproom a place for neighbors to congregate and socialize we wanted to do a little bit of live music we're not a concert venue by provide customers that are in the tapping room some entertainment from time to time about once a month have a band or dj or something. >> great that's pretty straightforward in the application once a month but the permit you can have entertainment any day. >> right. >> i mean that's no problem

>> welcome to "culturewire." today we are at recology. they are celebrate 20 years of one of the most incredibly unique artist residency programs. we are here to learn more from one of the resident artists. welcome to the show, deborah. tell us how this program began 20 years ago. >> the program began 20 years ago. our founder was an environmentalist and an activist and an artist in the 1970's. she started these street sweeping campaigns in the city. she started with kids. they had an exhibition at city hall. city officials heard about her efforts and they invited her to

this facility. we thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to recycle, it is a great educational tool. since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. >> how has the program changed over the years? how has the program -- what can the public has an artist engage with? >> for the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of mediums. conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. >> that has really expanded the program out. it is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. why would an artist when to come here? >> mainly, access to the materials.

we also give them a lot of support. when they start, it is an empty studio. they go out to the public area and -- we call it the big store. they go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. it is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. >> when you are talking about recology, do you have the only sculpture garden at the top? >> it is based on work that was done many years ago in new york. it is the only kind of structured, artist program. weit is beautiful. a lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. the pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000

people a year to our facility, adults and children. we talk about recycling and conservation. they can meet the artists. >> fantastic. let's go meet some of your current artists. here we are with lauren. can you tell us how long have been here so far and what you're working on? >> we started our residency on june 1, so we came into the studio then and spent most of the first couple weeks just digging around in the trash. i am continuing my body of work, kind of making these hand- embroidered objects from our day-to-day life. >> can you describe some of the things you have been making here? this is amazing. >> i think i started a lot of my work about the qualities of light is in the weight. i have been thinking a lot about things floating through the air. it is also very windy down here.

there is a piece of sheet music up there that i have embroidered third. there is a pamphlet about hearing dea -- nearing death. this is a dead rabbit. this is what i am working on now. this is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. it is for a very special friend. >> while we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a book, it is ridiculous and amazing. >> i am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. when he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. it is probably one of the least thought of compositions. people are getting rid of this stuff. it holds no real value to them, because they're disposing of it.

>> we're here in another recology studio with abel. what attracted you to apply for this special program? >> who would not want to come to the dump? but is the first question. for me, being in a situation that you're not comfortable in has always been the best. >> what materials were you immediately attracted to when you started and so what was available here? >> there are a lot of books. that is one of the thing that hits me the most. books are good for understanding, language, and art in general. also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the

pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something

else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometimes we have gains and bands. it is great time. from june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. we encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. we want as many artists from the bay area out here so they can have the same experience. >> how many artists to do your host here? >> 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. very competitive. >> but everyone should be
