>> as announced at the past few meetings members of the public are reminding if they wish the board of education a individual may have a speaker card. importantly according to rule jz procedures speak er cards will not be accepted for a item already before the board. approval of board mchbt minutes, there is no approval tonight. before we get toure super intendant i want to do something a little unorthodox but would be remiss if i didn't make a brief state in unity in light of last weeks election. i want to take the time to say we are in a place in the country where history can be on the brink of repeating itself. i do not wish to make light of what the election of mr. trump could mean for thecountry and

this city. one thing i will say is this, in order for us to avoid going backwards to a time where women were oprezed, lgbtq brothers and sisters were miss treated and black people were diskiminated against and considered second class citizen jz immigrants who continue to build the country had to live in fear ofsent away because of hate and avoid the dark and augler place in all our too roont history, we can not sit i ideally by sw pretend this is not hurtful y. have been to israel and spoken to holocaust survivor jz spoken first hand. i visited palestine and have muslim friends and stated they are libing in increased fear due to last tuesday election results. the president elect state he will not allow anyone

in their religion to enter into this country. he will build a wall at our southern boarders mpt i have sat with undocumented families and have seen the fear in their eyes and heard their voices believing their world may be turned upside down because the new leader of thecountry has chosen fear and hate to determine his focus on policy frz the future of our country. we may not agree on everything, but i want everyone to know this, this board of education will do everything in its power to insure that our student are safe and our families are protected from individuals and policies minute to disingreat the family unit and the very fabric of us as a school communedy in the city. as we build a wall of hope, faith, investment, protection, peace, love, and harmony aron our students you can rust assureed

we will fight for, besides and with all you to insure that safety. with that, we have presentation to the board of education, item b. super intendant report. >> thank you so much vice president walton. very important message so, i think we all appreciate what you said. i like to pick up on that a bit if i may and for members of the audience or the public that might be listening or watching that haven't seen the statement that i offered that published on the website i want to read a bit from that statement as well and in advance i'll say that we apologize the statement in its current form is not yet translated. the translation is coming soon. so, if i may--i

just want to start my remarks by reiterating the following. we are a community that believes fundamentally that each child and each person is the equal of every other. this belief cuts across race, nationality, immigration history, religion, sex, jnder identity, sexual orientation, economic means, ability status, language and age. when we are at our best, we celebrate diversity embrace difference jz build on each other strengths. we believe strongly in social justice which means we fight against systemic oppression and stand up for those vulnerable and hope others will do so for us when we need them. we put student needs first and will protect them now. these core values connect us every day. let us find ways to move forward together in unity and

in strength. i also want to thank many leaders in our community that also expressed some of the same strongly held principles and specifically support for our students and families and members of our community who are feeling vulnerable so this is a partial list but want to thank pamela harris for a strong statement as well as diane feinstein who reached out asking how our community was doing. lieutenant governor gaven nusem expressed strong support for us. superintendent tom forlux son. we were happy to see a statement by him as well as chancellor of community college system defending the rights of our young people to continue to

access our higher education system. and i also want to give special thanks to mayor ed lee, who convened a unity gathering yesterday, a very important and timely and profound gathering for the members of the san francisco community and san francisco family on the steps of city hall in front of the chorus which i thought was fitting. many of the commissioners wereprint for that occasion as well. i think it was very helpful to bring the community together and stand up for our values so appreciate the mayors and supervisors and meno other elected officials in the city and county. so, i wanted to also provide some public service announcements if i may and i'm saying this a bit on behalf of the board if i can be

so bold. we know this is your process, but since there is a standing item for me to present some information to the public i wanted to provide information about the superintenedant search. the board of education is asking for the communities help selecting the supersome ntenedant sof schools. ask consultants conduct a online survey to solicit input from student, staff, parent and community. the survey asks respondents to respond to sev critical question squz the information will be used to gep a profile which indicates qualities and characteristics in the next superintendent and guide recruitment and ref rens

various office including transportation, sustainability, policy and operation, early education as well as the educational placement center and supervisor katy tang about challenges we heard from families and looking at what are solutions-what is each person working on in their department to address transportation and to think about amoving forward what the solutions are in the collaboration. the pac plans to convene public forum in the beginning of the new year to look at these issues around transportation. >> also, we'll participate in the newly formed transportation working group with the district that is being convened. the office of sustainability was able to secure a grant from the municipal transportation agency

and so board policy 6173 education for homeless children has been a-minded to specifically incorporate recently goaled changes that happened again since the rules committee met, so just want to call that to your attention. it is noted on the back page of the proposal but if you have any question about that happy to answer. >> thank you. a report from rules. >> rules committee reviewed these policy and that was the-sent them with a positive recommendation asking the board to pass them and that was the explanation that the plan required we update these policies. but could you tell us to the change to that one policy so the members of the rules committee will if they want to ask a question. >> there are about four different changes. do you want me to snd something separately

on that? happy to pull it if necessary. >> perhaps you can reassure it isn't substantive or anything you think is something we want to discuss. >> it is all mandatory language as a result of the statute and the other thing i would note t is all language that is in favor and support our home ltsless students. there isn't anyolog wj we think is concerning or want to bring to your attention. >> okay presume to speak for the members of the rules committee and say this, nobody was concern td about that, correct? positive recommendation will stand. >> thank you. we have no public speakers mptd any comments or questions from colleagues? commissioner mendoza mcdonnell. >> i had a question with regards to had homeless for education for homeless children. i don't know if this is the appropriate place for this to be placed but it

doesn't say anything around our student that live outside the district in temporary housing and their rights. is that located somewhere else or is this not a appropriate place for that to be noted or can that be added? i know we do have a policy that allows our kids that are homeless in temporary housing outside the district to remain in the district. >> are you speaking foster student or homeless students? >> homeless student. i would have to get back, not sure if that is a district specific policy. i dont believe that is california law but i could be wrong. would you like us to look into that and bring it back? >> would you please? >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you, anymore question or issues? seeing none, roll

norton and we'll be in compliance. >> thank you. yes. >> yes. >> mrs. wynns. mrs. eng, yes. >> adoption of board policy 3435 debt issue and management moved and seconded october 25, 2016. rules committee report. commissioner wynns. >> we had a discussion about this as well as having our finance staff there at the committee meeting, so here is the-this is a report. as you may know, san francisco unified school district is issuing its own bonds since 2003 prior to the passage of prop 39 we couldn't have our own baunz

and had to be city bonds. all our issued bonds are sfusd bonds so all the bonds have expired mptd we issue bonds every year. the district has $900 million of bonds outstanding. only lausd, oakland and long beach have more. the debt policy will move the district to a more professional footing and need-good we have a policy before a new bond in the 2016 bond begin to be issued and under the new law publications must have a debt policy after january 2017 so required to have it anyway and the recommendation is policy reviewed before each bond issuance. when we issue bonds

and-this policy will also allow cover other kind of debt besides bond-certificate of participation so the committee recommends we pass this. >> thank you. >> thank you vise president walton and commissioner wynns for very skillful summary of the item. for this item our chief financial officer rita mont von will read the requested action to the record. >> thank you. the requested action is that the board of education approve board policy 3435, the debt issuance and management policy. >> thank you. no speaker rbs on thisite. any questions or comments from colleague snz if not we call for the vote. >> thank you.

or chan. reaunda batiste. john templeton and allison cullens and each of you have two minutes. >> good evening. my name is christine chow and i'm vice president and also the founder of [inaudible] basically is a support system for youth in transal homes in sfusd. last year we did a halloween goody give away and holiday giver away qu worked with hamilton family center and san francisco to provide kids with some treats and toys and school supplies for the school year. we also-there was a student who's house caught on fire so we were able to meet with a student and gather things for

them for the night. for the t-shirt fund raiser we need at least 150 shirt sold each selling for $15 and have to buy it by december 9. these funds go directly to the youth in transitional homes and hoping to have all your support to buy a t-shirt and spread thg campaign. i like to thank mr. truet for supporting and advocated for the youth in transitional home jz like to thank you all for listening. >> thank you so much miss chow. you left your phone. also, do you have the shirts? are they available tonight? >> good evening commissioners

superintendent lee, gureao and everyone in atenedance. the letter is written in response to the comments made from parent regarding african american and latino students in the srf unified school district at the board of education meeting november 1, 2016. we can appreciate parents wanting what is best for their individual children or those of similar backgrounds and acknowledge the right to express their point of view, din grating others, children and improperly labeling other groups is never a acceptable approach to advocacy. as african american parents and cochair of apac was i was so up set who presented negative narratives about children and families and their opposition to adopted math sequence. as only african american president i was uncharacteristic speechless and emotionally distraught to contribute to the conversation. i understand

comparative test scores depict groups in a negative light but our children represent so much more than test score squz their performance relative to other groups doesn't give parents of the other groups the right to verbalally bash achievement level of any specific racial, ethnic or socio economic group. the african american community has over come years of oppression and while i will acknowledge we have come a long way, we still is long way to go to achieve paraied with other more advantaged population. it is the responsibility the educational sickest system to work with us to repair the harm that was and continues to be done to our community. we respect the fact everyone has the right to express their beliefs about the legitimacy of approach to ininstructional intervention, it is however, insulting to hear the negative rhetoric from parents who share the same goal squz values for their children as we have for

ours. promoteioids that serve another source of oppression. some examples of comments that target our children were totally inappropriate. the african american and latino students are not doing better, they are doing worse. the asian and white student shouldn't beetd punished for to learn. the higher performing cultures understand the importance of hard work and why they perform better. gist as important as more so i was disaopponented throughout this process no one from the board more administration felt compelled to deter the parents from expressive their divisive and racist remarks. apac is charged with identified institutional racism and imprist bias and brings snanshs to the boards attention. it is my belief to allow these comments to be the only voices resinating in the room without any response nor attempts to

express opposition to them was a demonstration of the kind of micro aggression and racism that our children experience on a daily basis while others sit on the sidelines in silence. i understand the meeting organizer saw the role as facilitator, silence is just as hurtful. negativity shouldn't be tolerated not only because it is ugly and haurt full but illustrates how far away we are in achieving equity. parents in the communities lover their children and have the same aspirations for higher education for them even if many are incapable providing the level of support that the more advantaged can provide. it was unfochinate there were no parent present that represented those under performing student to defend themselves and challenge those [inaudible] it

is the home life. there is a problem at home for the student completely zoned out because they are either hungry or going through trauma at home. these parents are so disengaged by dumbing down the math sequence you are hurting the achieving student. the district should but money towards the children of the chaotic home lives. many parents may not be able to challenge those. in the absence equity demands the system-those who can wilt continue to urge the board to promote a school sistzm that guarantees true equity for all our children rather than one designed to foster a sense of entitlement for the educationally alete that only apply tooz bringing the bottom up and does nothing to help the students that are at the top. we hope the board will continue to retain a math sequence that gives all student access to the

highest quality education available. we anticipate a outcome on the issue that delivers a clear message equity, not equal treatment will continue to be our goal and our implicit or expressive racism or elitism will not drive decision making in sfusd. thank you. [claps, >> alley collins and i would like to i guess reiterate what reanda said. i have been on parent list serves with parents that denigrate black families. it has been happening for years and and murase. the pta

president points the finger at black parents and do not enough to support their children and why there are not as many black stud rnt as lowell and like to know why nobody is talking about it, especially you somebody who works closely with the lowell community. i came up to speak about language qu bullying going on at my school related to the events recently with trump being elected and rise in hate speech. i wanted to propose that there are things happening in our middle schools that i think are normalized in terms of slurs and bad language and because young people we assume that they like to challenge boundaries which is true. i don't think the district is doing enough especially with the current climate to systemically targt and address the bad language we hear in the

middle schools. i like to propose there is a safe school line in the handbook but many teacher jz principles, my principle didn't know aboutism i think they should be posted on all walls and schools because a lot of middle school kids are worried about retribution and don't want to tell parents because they dont want us involved. i think there needs comprehensive training for educators addressing sures and negative language. the type of language my daughters are reporting one was called the b word in the attendance office. my other daughter there is gay slurs used throughout the school. i understand that is normal, but they are saying nobody is addressing it. adults are not addressing this language so theygretting the impression that type of language is okay. it is the type of language i can file reports for sexual harassment and bullying but it

is normalized in the system and asking that you up it in terms of the systemic response and it isn't a choice for schools to address but there are expectations for schools to address. >> mrs. templeton and mrs. [inaudible] >> good evening john templeton and support the things just said. one of the ways to address that is to change the stereotypes. had a meeting with tom gravlen and landen dickey and helen peterford about the activities that are network will do over the next three months. one in particular has a deadline in the next week. we pr bringing the dean of the georgia tech college of engineering dr. gary

may for our 50 most important african americans in technology on january 15 and making opportunities for 75 students to be part of that event, the deadline is the 21. we shared that information with the administrators and want to use this forum to let people know that the impressions that people hear about on a day to day basis are not supported by the facts and this is a opportunity for young people who aspire to the highest ranks of technology to see people who have already done that. the site for students to go to is reunion network.infoinnovation scholars and part the process will be for them to do research

on an assortment of african american scientific pioneers between now and december. we encourage all fr all the reasons that were just expressed for as many studentss and educators as possible to take advantage of this opportunity. >> good evening commissioners interim superintendent. not sure which part of my comment i should start with but will start with what i was feeling over the weekend, which is that some people say it is darkest just before the dawn and we can look back and know the great depression preceded the new deal, civil rights came on mu carktism and cold war and that speak tooz how i'm feeling now that this is a challenging time, but i think each of us individually and collectively where ever it is that we have a

role to play are rising to the occasion to pave the way forward for the next bright period for sevls and students and families. i appreciate the heart felt comments of superintendent lee and commissioner waltons opening words of unity speaking of the needs to keep the families safe and student protected as a integral part of watt we do and the challenge that we have to meet. the part of keeping the students safe and protected as educators means for us speaking out for the right to academic freedom and teaching what we believe to be the truth about history in the very charged political climate and looking forward to exploring that together with you as leaders oof the district affirming academic freedom within the

classroom because we need our children to be thoughtful, questioning-we raise thome to be fully participatory citizens in this world. then on another note, i also want to say appreciate the work that went on here at the board of education and within the district which allowed us to the day after election to have a-reach an agreement at our meet and confer wherebe we were offered two percent raise for every member rather than a bonus, which we saw as it is a step forward. it isn't the whole picture, but that was a commitment to the future and many educators feel that way so will build on that and want to say appreciate it and we'll continue working together.

thank you. >> thank you. iletm k, special order of business. none tonight. item l, discussion of other educational issues. i want to go out of order on these items unless there is objection. i like to talk college readiness block grant first. seeing none, superintendent lee. >> thank you vise president walton and we have a staff presentation, so dr. kauffman and mary richards and i believe there is a projection, is that correct? there is not a projection so for once commissioners you can remain seated in your places. i think i'm meant to turn this over to dr. kauffman first. >> thank you very much. good

evening superintenedant lee and vise president walton and like to say thank you for opening comments. i find it to be a honor and privilege to work for you and district in san francisco and support the values so say thank you for your leadership on the issue. we have the privilege to present the college readiness block grant. >> good evening. members the public and staff. mary richards the executive director and student family community support division over the office of council and post 2ndary success. >> so, i like to -this will hopefully be a short and sweet presentation. our agenda this evening is talk about the college readiness block grant overview to give a view of what

the block grant is to speak briefly on the work that we will undertake with the grant. what our plan is. the expected outcomes and we will field question and comments from the board of the issue. so, if you turn to page three on your slide deck, just like to reiterate the great things about san francisco unified is the collaboration that i have found working with other departments and recognize this is really this block gland grant is between office of college readiness and post secondary success and sfusd school sites to insure student are college ready. i want to be clear this plan is inclusive of the school site leaders and want tooz include them. the

college readiness block grant was established to provide california high school additional support to increase number who enroll in institutions of higher education and complete 4 year degree. that is stated thinl education policy. >> we cant underscore enough this is supplemental. this is certainly not all the resources we have. this is meant to be in addition to all the work we are doing, but hopefully for us to have more discretion how to better the work and also providing a unique structure with this funding for school sites to now access some level of micro funding and build out their own specific programs to support college readiness at their school sites. >> the requirement of us receiving the fund is discussed

at a regular meeting and adopted as a subsquents meeting which we have put on the calendar with the board. on slide 4 overview of the work we want to do and sthis is supplemental to what we are already doing. none of this is new work, this is just build efficacy and fidelity of the work already undertaken i believe you are aware of. the first is expand early college initiative, which is built also on the ccap agrooment we shared last month to develop support to under represented student and succeed in college courses. when i say the on-ramp to college i mean the math english jams in the summer that support placement test. the child development classes that support youth work institute which is in partnership with xl

and additional city college courses. that is what i mean by the on-ramp. >> the next two, develop college counseling curriculum and design comprehensive counseling to support student groups which we have devised some level of strategy but the hope is with resources is dedicate staff, central off staff to work exclusively on college and career counseling supports for our site counselors because we dont have at every site a college and career counselor. we have counselors that are serving in multiple roles so this gisks a chance for the professional and training development of the

curriculum for central office person to directly impact the work of our counselors at our school site within this scope and sequence in this area of support. >> support people transition to post secondary education. this is to utilize school sites. i think many are familiar with the sprout fund tailored to meet individual school needs around college and career readiness. this is a shift in paradigm from a top down paradigm from bottom up having schools tell what their needs are. also for the building out and increase in 8th to 9th grade summer bid programs so the student have a leg up when they get into high school. if you turn to page 5, in

alignment with the sfusdl cap we insure base line college preparation by offering [inaudible] bridge programs, professional development for counselor and site support. peer level of support for college and career readiness and allocation of counsslers and support staff. i want to be clear, like this grant many ccr programs are funded by softd money resourcesfelt the team has begun the process how to main the level of service and sustain success preparing the student when the monies go away. we are aware there is a sunset to monies and focused building sustainability. this is a three year term for this grant, a total of $1.75 million

over three years. scaled up to full implementation in year two. primarily the monies will go on my side college and career readiness to support early college initiative by textbooks dual enrollment, early college transportation and rising 9th grade bridge and year 2 and 3 we are talking about more summer on-ramp courses and support and bringing on some earl college personnel to support the early college initiative. >> we are excited on the counseling end. this is a goal to develop this comprehensive college, the materials and the curriculum to supply the school site counselors so it is a work in progress with cni. to

hasten the arrival of the materials, these fundings even though they are not in abundance but adequate for us to actually supplement and focus on the work so excited about that. >> in the last column is our sprout, site based college readiness funding. clearly the funds are courage innovation tailored to the community service under represented studentism leverage other school funding and initiatives to make a impact on graduation raetss and early college participation. lastly, page 6 expected outcomes and increase participation dual enrollment course and summer bridge programs, increase number of student completing the fasfa-a-g to inhars college readiness, professional development opportunity for

site counselors to enhance college readiness. this is college readiness block grant provided fwhie california department of education. thank you. >> thank you plrks kauffman and mrs. richards rchlt i don't bleesk we have public comment. any question or comments? commissioner murase and student delegate. >> commissioner mendoza mcdonnell. >> just curious on the early college textbook for dual enrollment in early college, how many students are you factoring into that? >> i don't have an exact amount tonight, i can get the data for you on that. i know that we are expecting increase in the dual enrollment so there will be incured cost on that. i do know that the textbooks for the last twoe years cost about $45 thousand. the dual enrollment

students were about 247, but that isn't a exact number y can get a xckt number. >> that is good to know how you got to your budget. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> my question is we had a discussion about the math curriculum and how to get students [inaudible] those who wish to do that, how does this plan impact for example funding for plan ahead and health education in the summer oppose to during the school year and is there thinking around the math pathway? >> we did not take into consideration that for this block grant as the purpose is facilitate student that may not be college ready and provide additional support sishms as a scaffolding to them into

college. >> my name is brent stephens the chief academic officer. two weeks ago woo had a conversation about the math sequence and possibility creating summer option that will move the health plan ahead into the the summer so after that discussion i directed staff to developing out cost proposals for two things. the summer plan ahead and health and geometry and keeping with what i sensed two weeks ago is interest of the board so will have more information what it will take to build out those option s and be back before the board with cost estimates. >> that is completely separate from the black grant? >> no response? >> thank you. thank you for

presenting tonight. i have a question and don't know if you can answer them tonight. iourpresentation says increase number of student completing [inaudible] enhance college readiness and profogezal development to enhance knowledge of college readiness and you said provide a package of material to college and access staff. my question is, how are you inclusive and documenting student because often times me being a advocate on undocumented folks, not only in my school but no one knows how to do this, like how to loop arond when someone is documented. people dont know how to fill out the [inaudible] not even the staff and it makes me mad because now more than ever we needed it before and need it more. not having

someone there to help them you feel lost and who do you go to when no one is pointing fingers around. my question is, to me this seems like you are not putting in place that or if you are i don't see people fighting for space to do these professional developments on how to educate staff on how to first of all, treat their students and how to have them-like different help the students need so dont know if you are answer how this st. inclusive or what is taking place or what is the next steps if there is not. >> we probably all can address that. let me talk to you-this in some sense we gave you a broader picture of this limited amount of supplemental funds.

one part of the phrasing that we used in here is around enhancing the support and service for targeted student groups. absolutely one of those groups would be undocumented student and how that presents potentially at the school site is through could be language barriers. we have actually new coming counselors that are actually trained and supported profaegzally support special populations so they come to schools with all types of experiences and potentially limitation for access to academic success and potentially and social emotional personal success. we do train those counselors at the school site in different ways than we do regular school counselors to address that. i would love to invite you to our

professional development meetings for you to come see that because i think that is a critical question and sometimes the thing weez don't see and hear about but we are making those efforts. this like i said in a bigger way, these monies will then further increase those supports and enhance our abilities to provide the specialized services that we need and that attention that those students need to be successful in school and to also see their options beyond high school and that is our post secondary promise to all student but most especially in a equitable way to undocumented youth. >> i would very glad to be part of this. look frgward to understanding more about it. i'm sorry i'm not trying to be bfs ofsive but i think the problem a lot of times is that

undocumented student are being put in new comers and new learners and think that is a big issue because i think a lot of schools and that makes me mad too because you have students that are growing here their life and undocumented and they know the language and culture and you dont know about them and i think it is important and essential to put a part time for the student to get help. one thing is they don't know the language and the other thing is they are undocumented. there are two things that sometimes handy but not isn't all cases. i will be glad to understand and be part of it. i have to fight for my school. i had to-demand them to set me apart professional development presentation i had to talk about undocumented

student and happy i had to do that because i'm not doing who else? i think i'm not seeing the change in schools like teachers learning how to help students and people that are suppose today be there for you like college access people that is their job and don't know how to [inaudible] it is a big issue. come on, the student have a dream and not getting there, but i'm more than happy to be there and advocate for students. thank you. >> thank you. i'm not going dive into details tonight. we are going see some data that is quite troubling after this presentation and look at thiz as response that will lead towards positive outcomes so appreciate the work t. is good to see college and career have the flexibility to focus on strategies specific to college and career. i know we had

several competing priorities in the district, but my hope and my understanding is we will not use resources like this to supplement other competing priorities because we haven't made a decision we want to go in a certain direction with policies. i appreciate the work on this and dedication to this and again, i do see this as a step forward to address some of the issues and data concerns we will see in a few minutes. thank you. >> if i may, just want to clarify the process so as dr. kauffman stated, tonight is one of two times this item will be before you tonight. tonight is for you to understand from the staff the component of the

proposed responding plan and think that was accomplished. in your next meeting on december 13 is when you will be asked to take action to approve this spending plan. >> thank you superintenedant lee and now [inaudible] >> at this point we will have a powerpoint presentation, so approaching the staff table are dr. ritee cona teach of research planning and assessment and john burke and mrs. cascois providing updated handouts which should replace the handout s in your folder. >> the powerpoint is replaced-

>> okay, so--the powerpoint presentation in your folders in the folders please set that to the side and refer to the new copy mrs. casco is distributing and there is a one page data table which i believe is new, which wasn't in your folders originally. last thing i will say before turning over is as vice president walton stated there are very concerning disparities and discrepancy in the data per taining to our subgroups of students so appreciate him mentioning that up front and will hear more about the circumstances along

those lines from the presentation. >> good evening commissioners and good evening to everyone. if you need copies of this powerpoint we made copies for the public on the table outside. in terms of district accountability overview we are presenting both our academic and social emotionly culture climate results. the last time we did this overview is 2012, 13 and since then this is the first year that we had robust reliable measures that we can do another accountability overview on. um, our main issue of eeben producing results is so it is informative and used and so with that our theme for this year is the

practices and reflection will impact student measures. our goal for todays session is notd just review the data but see the connection between our districts data and the school practice along with seeing how this data is used by school sites and by central office. just to show the first thing setting the context to see how we even develop or get these measures. as you all know, we have district values, we have a vision 20/25 which is long term vision and to address that vision we have our short term strategic plan. the latest being transform learning transform life. and then within these strategic plans, there are strategies and action for every stakeholder group

that is at the classroom level, the school level, the central office level and even at the governance level. to address the strategies qu action and values, we then have accountability measures that again are aligned to the whole child and measure both the academic side and social emotionally culture climate side. it is systemic, the use of data and what we are showing is a timeline. for last year of how the data was used for progress checks, used for informing planning and instruction all along the year not just the end of the year as i'm presenting to you. this is to tell what is hap eng in the month of november. all

students and their parents are getting the standard base report as well as the results from the interim district assessment. as you can see, the interim district assess mentds and the report cards are available in english, chinese and spanish. connecting the dots, the first dot was how is the strategic plan connected not just to the indicators but also to the states l cap. this is a slide that shows you how the strategies at the school and central

>> we see that gap in terms of overall performance, elementary maintained performance. middle and high school showed gains in the two content areas. how do we compare to other core

districts? ask compared to other districts we have the high rate but looking at the subgroup data the african american and luteenee showed less growth compared to core districts. the program student and special ed had high est profeshancy rates compared to other districts but showed less growth but had the highest rate. this is a slide which i am-i want to apologize because where wish i could put every one on the slide. they all have such wonderful success stories to tell of good things happening and great teaching happening in the schools. just to make it sus sent and

selected schools with significant improvement and improvement for subgroups. as i said, we do have list of how each school could show success and their story behind it. we always wonder when we look at the timeline, we saw there are formative measures and just like in november that we administering and gathering results for how good all r these formative measures in predicting measures that we looked ed. grade 2 there is relationship of.6. as we go fl to grade level the relationship increases, so when you look at grade 3, the reading inventory

you see.73 correlation between that. the ieb have the highest correlation. in terms of readiness indicator rkts i would say inder garten and high school and uc readiness we rage between 55 percent readiness at kindergarten all the way to 65 percent uc readiness. so, the range is between 55 to 65 percent between kindergarten and high school. and uc, sorry. english language development indicators, the first thing that comes to mind is redesignation rate and what

is most important is the long term redesignation rate. in the chart below when it is less than fiver years we meet all the state targets for the last three years in english profeshancy but the minute it comes to more than 5 years you can see that we are not meeting our target in the last two years. our main concern is the el redesignation rate for long term el. >> next we'll move to the social, emotional and culture climate indicators. two we reported chronic absenty rate so a student absent 10 percent the school year or more so give

or take 18 days and suspension rate. one concern is the absentyism rate are increasing. it is still a new measure collection of data varied but it is a concern. the sus pepgz rate as you heard from thomas graven has been following and all the wonderful work they have been doing to make that happen is great to report on. and then we administered in 14/15 but didn't get to report on, survey data from students in grades 4-12. staff at all school sites and families at all school sites and grade levels. student rated in social emotional learning and

culture climate and the staff and families reported on the culture climate for their school sites. each of those had 4 areas. we have the breakdrown of district average and subgroups reporting out. by gender and program and ethnicity are all there so we just cut down and only reported on specific ethnic subgroups in there and have detailed notes in the district accountability overview related to the highlights on this. and then with the culture climate we have the-the questions were

different for elementary and secondary student. culture climate report this is average of 4 areas. the way they are reported is percent favorable response, so there was 3, 4, 5, possible responses on any given question and 1, 2 or 3 may have beenerated favor squbl this is percent of student or families or staff choosing the favorable answers. >> just to put this in context can you give us a sense of what the question was? i have no idea what they were favorable towards. >> we have samples of these for

your viewing, within the website. you can actually go and look at all the questions that were asked, but for growth mindset-- >> you have to speak on this microphone. >> the areas you can see are the climate of support for academic learning and the questions are about do you feel that you're getting the adequate and appropriate support from your teachers. that is one of the questions. sense of belonging and school

connectiveness. there are sets of questions under each of these categories and then since of safety. safety involves do you hear other people putting you down or do you feel like you are being bullied. question like that. each one of these has a set of vetted questions that bring us to this higher level. knowledge and fairness of discipline rules and norms. we have a link to the panorama site that has the exact questions. does that help? >> it does, so then on the website where it says take the survey or read more about the search-sorry-where on the website is it located?

>> >> right now on the-we are happy to send a copy. >> that will be helpful because this doesn't say murch to me. it gives percentages of culture climate but have no idea what they are responding to. >> it is the intranet on aao and sometimes i forget the public doesn't have access to everything that our teachers and principles do. >> as we release this we are putting on the website and will put the link and specific questions because to be frank when we went through all the questions with the schools, it was the specific question that were of main importance to the schools. one which came up

with most schools i will tell you is around being bullied, being called names, being respected and a common one growth mindset is my intelligence is fixed. >> these were surveys versus assessments? >> yes. they were self taken surveys by the students reporting out. >> like the example you gave with growth mindset i don't know how a elementary school student interprets that when you ask them that type of question or like self management, what type of question would you ask to get to a 71 percent self management approval? it would be helpful to see the survey so we can put it into context because these numbers they don't mean anything to me at least as i review them.

>> very helpful. we'll take care of that. >> i think that is good feedback and very happy to put the survey on the web as we put out district accountability overview. >> the realty is this is a lot of information we are getting and want to digest it and as soon as hits the internet answer questions from parents on what it all means so that will be helpful for us. >> thank you. we will definitely take care of that and snd you the results and put it on the internet. these are

highlights. the self management had the more fairfbable response rate with above 70 percent favorable at elementary and secondary. but this also had the largest disparity for african americans, special education. growth mindset, 59 percent favorable for elementary and [inaudible] self efficacy is 58 and 52. those are least favorable responses and subgroups, el and [inaudible] had lowest rates on both demesnes. the highest favorable respaunss on all demesnes is from the white student, response rates for 8 to 14 percent higher than the overall rates. the culture climate, this is student family and staff and elementary student across all subgroupsx white had the most favorable

perception and african american had the least favorable. secondary students all subgroups across all subgroups the el had the most favorable perception at 66 percent favorable and african american had the least favorable at 56 percent. the staff we found that the staff here over 10 years had the most nairfbable perception of the culture climate. for the families all school levels more favorable than the student or staff overall across all subgroups rate of favorable response is greater than 89 percent. >> here is another look at relationships. the relationship between the test score squz measures. when you look at this t is a scatter plot which tells you schools in

the left hand corning low on [inaudible] and academics. the right hand is schools high on [inaudible] and academics. the other two areas in purple are we call outliers. they had the one in the beige which is to the left circle it says majority of these schools had very high rates of academic performance but then when you looked at their sel scores below the district average. their somesh emotional score were below the district average but academic scores are high. a common alsty of the schools is had high rates of el students. this is the elementary school data. on the other side which is the right

hand side, the purple circle you saw majority of these schools even though they were below the district average in performance higher than the average on sel measures and one of the reasons the commonality between the schools is the schools showed significant gains compared to last year so you could relate the two or infer relationship . with schools we go through all these data for the subgroup jz dus kiss with them prathss of success as well as set targets and then plan next steps. so, this is again a facilitated by

lead asisance superintenedant and directors who take action. this is a example of some of the ways they reflected on the data and spoke about successful practice and set targets and wnt to next steps. again, we have made sure you we show you how there is data and reflection and there is some action for an example of a school. with that, thank you and i welcome all questions. >> thank you so much for the presentation. i dopet believe we have public comment on this item. colleagues, questions or concerns? commissioner norton?

>> yes. a couple of questions. first, if you can-i know you explained this and looked at the data on page 21 of the presentation the relationship between the formative and sumative measures-can you tell me what the correlation means? >> sure. the correlation is what is the prediction or relationship. can i look at the variability and predict the same variability on the other? a high correlation is between.6 and 1.2. .8 is considered a very very high correlation, which means that what ever is the rate on your formative

assessment is highly likely to be the rate on the [inaudible] >> the two questions about the data, it is not new but really demoralizing and disparity to see african american results and to see such low levels of proficiency still. we have been talk bth this as long as i have been on the board and before that and want to ask the staff, not necessarily-i like to know what do you think all r the two or three highest impact things we are doing to address this because it is just seems like it never-we can't move this needle and want to know

what we think we are doing to move the needle? >> those rfts that we want to see focused on the classroom are listed out there, same thing in regards to the types of conditions that we know are important too in place in the school communities to expect improvement to occur. we have plnty of evidence to suggest we know that when those conditions and capacities are placed the schools move and show accelerated results. we have lots of examples of that, some och them you see in the scatter plot that is here. i guess the

question that remains is, what role do we play as a system to better orchestrate the conditions and support the capacity in the school. many are wrap around support that under served school communities continue to benefit from. we have continued to resource our neediest schools in a equitable fashion so they enjoyed added resources and the needs are still great. i mentioned human capital because many student under performing are located in many schools that experience a great rate of teacher instability so we know that is a very important factor because for all the coach{professional

learning we focus on if we dont have consistent educators in place year after year it is hard to build capacity and consistency of experience for our students so for sure having talented educators in place that we can continue to support and build in school communities is key factor. the other is just making sure that we offer the most robust wrap around support possible in our schools. we do prioritize many school to have that fuller compliment of nurse social worker intervention teachers and that is a big assistance and we know there is still a lot more work that we need to do to make sure to offer support and nrbt vention to student that were most concerned about. we have seen the needle move in many areas for specific subcelts of kids and specific schools when all of the stars line up. at this

point in time we still are not able to guarantee that entirely. we still have critical shortage areas in some content areas as well as school communities. i was out in bayview neighborhood schools today and see evidence of that still every day and so how can we put plans in place to continue to support the conditions there and that is a different from creating the sustainable long term plan and think that is a part of the conversation we should continue to have. a lot of this work is continuous improvement work. it is just doing the meat and potato and insureing [inaudible] student who is just not meeting grade level expectations. you know how to teach reading and yet we need to make sure sure students

receive instruction that accelerate the literacy development. focus on mastery. many school said receive student at kindergarten not demonstrating the rate of readiness so already entering behind. i visited early education sites this morning and they are receiving student that dont have all the same skill sets that will be foundational to enter emmentary schools. we know early education is a key component as well and work wg families from the earliest point possible to head upstream and as they enter schools they enter strong and ready to learn and continue to work with families throughout

the spaerns. i won't belabor all the conditions and capacities we think are important in the scoolts, though are articulated in the strategic plan and the ones we are assessing for across ourport folio of schools and we know that every school community is somewhere on the continuum regarding these conditions. insome are within our sphere of influence to improve and some need to happenen that the school level and some at the classroom level. it is when all these things work in a coherent and aligned way we see the best results. that is a short answer. sort of to the work. there are sort of no easy fixes. it is the day in day out continuous improvement work that our school leaders and teacher leaders to have engage with support and supervision from the supervisor jz every other department that needs to prioritize student and they do

i believe and within our means to impact on the conditions for the students. >> just to make sure check for understanding, it sounds like if i asked for what are the two highest impact investments that we could make it soinds like what you said is address ing teacher instability and making sure there are adequate wrap around service. there are other important things but those are highest impact? >> those are the building blocks >> if i can build on what [inaudible] mentioned and this is a sort of a second of a series of discussions that you as commissioners and we as staff are in the middle of in the month of october, november and december so in your believe the last regular meeting-maybe

it was the [inaudible] now last regular meeting with apac presented and ali team presented. i believe in that evenings discussions we felt there was a shift in terms of the conitant and the ratio of conversation spent on assessing these troubling statistics and pointing to disparities and describing some of the work that is launched underway. that is changing. the results have not reflected that shift. we hope they will soon, but i think there-we feel as staff we feel there is a much stronger

all most ubiquitous focus in all the workstreams and work teams as individuals on this major priority of improving opportunities sfr & outcomes for african american student. deputy [inaudible] sent an e-mail with a lot of information describing in some detail what those extremes look like and that again it is not presenting yet in the outcomes but we are very hopeful and purposeful that will happen and on one note, if you look at the kindergarten readiness indicators, those have improve td over the last two years so that is encouraging. we still see disparities there too but there are meaningful increases in the kindergarten readiness

of the african american students so hopefully those trends will creep up into the grade levels tested. and then the last thing i'll mention is the next meeting on december 6 the topic in addition to superintendent search is progress report and state of current conditions in the bayview schools, cohort 3. that is what i mentioned the third of a series of discussions of these couple months and think that will also give you both information about the current conditions, which you'll laer some of this again with the focus on a certain cohort of schools, but also describing hopefully in ways you will find encouraging and illuminating about how our

teams are organizing work along the lines with specific application to a group of schools that are central to these conversations. >> i want to be clear, i am not saying that peeperal not working really hard and focusing on the work, don't mean to imply that by saying i'm discouraged, i think it is so important as a board to understand what the staff thinks is the highest impact practice and investment we need to continue make toog move the needle because we have-we are embarking on a superintenedant search. i want to understand are we doing the right thing jz think thatd is important as we look at the leadership of the district. i don't mean my question to bash what the staff is doing or to imply people are not doing great work every day.

the obl other question i had was about the chronic absence. i was surprised to see that that is continues to go up because i had been under the impression we had been focusing on that. is it better data collection because i know we improved data collection a lot in that area? >> i would say a couple things. one is better data collection but also the fact that there are new rules now. whether it is unexcused or excused absence it counted as a absence. in the past when we showed you results, if was a excused absence it wasn't counted. you see? that's a big--new data. >> that would do it. >> you are missing instruction

so the logic is yes, it is still missing instructional time and should be counted as a absence. >> thank you. >> thank you. that is the difference between chronic absentyism and truism. we are saying we were not separating the two at one period in time. >> we usually do try to give the rate of unexcused and excused absence so this is given at a daily rate. any day a school can get into their site and know for every student what is my rate of unexcused and excused absence for every student. yes, there is a tab internally. when we report out we report out one number. >> thank you very much for this

very rich report. i have a couple suggestions for additional data points that i'm interested in. it would be helpful if we know the end numbers like how many people are surveyed or students like in each category would be helpful to us. i like to see gender by race. i'm glad you are capturing male and female but often girls of color are having unique challenges and masked when you don't look at gender by race. thirdly, in kindergarten readiness is there a way to break out those in [inaudible] we have seen data in the past and glad to hear our stats are improving but i

really want to make sure the sfusd early education is inching towards better kindergarten readiness. is there a way-i really appreciate the social emotional learning. a new component qu & way to understand student performance but we did a lot of work on swlip codes and poverty and is there a way to see what is the performance among families who are-have the challenge of poverty. i think that is a big variable in a lot of this, so understanding the data by zip code or by income i think is important for us as policy makers to understand. finally,

talked about teacher retention as being a important piece. i hope that we can have some robust discussion with our labor partners on the key issues around improving performance in these areas and to seek joint solutions around how to get our most veteran teerchers into the schools with the most challenges. thank you. >> you have in your e-mail the questions for every category for social emotional survey. you can actually look at some of the questions. when i did my analysis with school squz

district data, what we saw mainly was if you were to ask it was more than poverty, we found language to be a issue where we saw el students having lower social emotional favorability then others. i would refer to the language as a issue. >> commissioner wynns. >> thank you for the report, it is very interesting and important. so, i have some of the same questions that have been answered already. i'm interested in the chronic absence question is really thorny. i don't-it seems we need some kind of educational

campaign about this. if students are out significant numbers of days missing instruction and excused, then we need to be talking to their families and parents about how important it is for them to be in school. i just don't think we are telling people enough that missing days of school unless you are really chronically or seriously ill is a bad thing to do for your children and doesn't help them in getting the education they need for their future so like to know what type of strategies are being laid out to address that. i know that we have invested a lot in paying attention to truancy to student who are absent just dont go to school or stay in school, but i like to know the difference between the excused and

unexcused absences and if this spike is because we are counting excused absences now that means we have lot of kids with a lot of excused absences because it has gone up significantly. that is interesting. i like to know what we think caused improved k readiness for african americans. are we-how many are in our early ed centers and like to know whether preschool for all is having a impact on that. >> we have our very own [inaudible] we just finished a intensive week on it topic. >> we are well equipt to explain this. >> there is a lot we are doing.

absolutely we partner with first 5, which is preschool for all and but we are taking the funds and leveraging it within our own schools building capacity with coaching and doing align with the district with regards to the new teacher center. looking at mtss. >> do we know whether students who are doing better in k readiness measures have been in our own centers? >> this data is from our own center. >> this is all our own? >> this is all our own. >> okay, thank you. what do we know about everybody else? what do we know about students

coming come to kindergarten? >> first 5 did a kof and what that was was randomly selected kindergarten students so not every 1 about an assessment of a certain percentage and they did issue a report on that for the public and we asked if they could disaggregate it between our students and community haven't done it yet but something we want to see. >> that should tell us something about the effectiveness of preschool for all and other-component of the ent grated funding sources that should be-and also does that tell how many students in san francisco-not in san francisco unified but in san francisco

has a percentage of students in preschool increase? i know this is not exactly yaur job, has the impact of first 5 made impact- >> do we have increase of students in school whether or not in our preschools? >> i don't think-not sure. >> thank you. the other thing i like to know about that concerns me is issue of long term el's. so, what are we doing about that? i don't know if we are up to doing anything about it. i know we are generally doing that work, but

is it specifically what type of strategies for long term el that is not what we want? we don't want that the [inaudible] in the language program the less likely to be successful. >> just from conversations with schools i know there is deliberate effort at every school to address the long term years. they get the names and lists of students who are long term and it

>> support english learners. we have seen expansion of something we call el village, which is a program designed to support el's over the summer months. that is now service hundreds of students in the umiser and relatively new program for us and one we hope will have a impact on reclassification for el's. >> so, first off, i'm glad to see graduation rates are up for subgroups. i would love to disaggregate the special ed

data by race. that is good to know percentages there. from a narrative standpoint, i can definitely like positive spins on data, but i'm trying to wrap my head why we get excited about being better than state average. when i talk to students all the time the main thing is nev be conitant with average because it is as close to the bottom as the top. see it just as close to f as a a and we promote that. it is good to be better than something, but i'm just curious why we get so excited about saying that because we say that often and it is hard to see that as a positive since we are responsible for shaping success of young people. with that said, of course we are assessing achievement according

to standardized test squz not always excited and happy about using those tools to assess how students are learning because i don't think that is the best way so catch 22 there. that was just a statement, no question there. not to belabor commissioner wynns point, but accelerating language and reclas fiing and redesignateing english learners is key. particularly i think we can do better at the early stages, elementary and middle school. the more aggressive in strategies there i think we will see a change in the data. asked for this before, it is good to get a report from the other [inaudible] and what is going on with preschool for all because we get our information and asked for this behind the scenes but dont get a full report on the other 3rd to see

how that is working and where the synergis and to the best of our ability to make it possible to see the city partnererize seeing that would be great. with that said, i know we have lot of work to do and the ap percentage rates for black students are dropping. for the social emotional assessment, is that a survey developed by the district? >> it was a survey developed by core. all the core districts actually took the survey so when we look at our results we compare how we compare with the other core districts. >> thank you. we appreciate the report as we all know we have a lot more work to do but graduation rates are up so good to end on a positive note.

thank you. >> iletm m, consent calendar resolution remove previous meeting for second reading and action. none tonight. itedm n, vote on consent calendar mubed and seconded under item g. >> thank you.

advocates here. i'll read a few notes from the summaries anticipating january budget rev news within wrun percent of estimates so the 16-17 fiscal year probably wont be adjusted upwards. not good. how we are doing on full implementation of the lcsf, but one year ahead and may meet to 19-20 target in 18-19 and that is good and above the adjusted o 7-08 funding now. offset by surs and pers. we got summary of the changes in law that were made and sort of projections toward what might be in the legislative agenda for next year. one that is in the human

resources area, there seems no appetite for action on teacher evaluation or dismissal which was a hot item a couple years ago. teacher shortage and pipeline concern which didn't happen is knocked off the priority list mostly because not supported or interested from the governor. you know the state school bond passed that was important questionable before election. the reserve cap did not move and reserve cap will kick in after test one year which we have not reached but we are saying the legislative leaders are saying fix it after we have a test one year because that is the only time we need to fix it which is not good. and also a hearing will be called or scheduled or

will be about the special ed funding model and revisit 6 o2. those are things the advocates mentioned which i cu-mind you should look at that in the coming legislative session. >> thank you. update from ad-hoc committee on personnel matters and labor relations. we had a meeting october 27 and received update on teacher hiring and retention and had discussion about 2017-18 teacher recruitment and retention plan and update on superintenedant school such which you heard this evening about where we are focused in that area. there is also a pnl meeting this thursday at 6 p.m. and report from committee. we had informational items deal wg

math policy update on course sequence, placement professional development and cultural and support teachers and discuss possibility of option frz accelraishz. we talked about superintendent search. overview of sunch pros, board protocols during the search, final timeline for search, desired qualityties and characteristic, strength jz challenges and most relevant and process for community and staff input. all this was discussed and we are move frgward with our search. more information to follow start wg survey to all stakeholders of the district. report from budget and service committee. >> thank you vice president baulten. the budget and business service committee met

november 2. we had a discussion about the impact of prop f which appeared to have passed. it did not? it didn't? it needed 2/3. alright, well good. nevermind. i was all bummed when i saw that. okay. good. we dodged a bullet because prop f would hurt [inaudible] but now since it did not pass we don't have >> student worry about that. the other item of note that we discussed is due to a change in government accounting standert starting in 2018 we need to put our retiring elth benefits on the balance sheet which is a significant increase. the

staff briefed the committee on this. the recommend aigds is we have put a small amount every year aside to try to keep up with current retiree benefits oweed and catch up. the staff recommendation is double that amount so have been putting aside 2 to 3 million a year and recommendation is 4 to 6 million a year and fund a trust which we look at joining with calpers. that will over time allows to chip away at the significant liabilities so that seems like a prudent step for us to take. we also had a discussion about the fall 2016 school site budget process where 62als look at their moment and true up the budget based on what they have versus

what we thought they would have in the spring. we are holding a number of schools that saw enrollment decline harm bss by about $35 thousand if i got that right. so, some schools take a hit but the first $35 thousand that they would otherwise have to giver back we are holding harmless. weern going have a bunlt committee meeting on january 4th. in light of the fact that xhigdser wynns will be leeb thg board and commissioner murase isn't available we need to reschedule so will discuss with staff and announce the next meeting when it is scheduled. >> thank you. any other updates on committees reports? >> thank you very much. very excited about the student

for our city to stand up especially during this time. what happened last week to affirm that in fact, we are a city of tolerance. and, it is so great to be here on treasure island because so much of way are trying to do on treasure island is building community could we are building a new neighborhood. we are building community. and all of the work that this board does, our staff does and what you do for us as well. it's all about building community on treasure island so thank you very much for coming today. >> item number two general public comment. this item is to allow members of the public to address the treasure island development of 40 in the on the matters that are with the subject matter jurisdiction of the authority board that do not appear on the agenda. numbers of the public may address the board of to 3 min. prior to

be able to make back if they take the section 8 housing their offered it apparently does not being offered to everyone in the pearl jam to needs to be checked. if residents move out of the tie-dye housing will tide i go those vacancies or will those homes remain vacant? basically can you give us an update on the board of supervisors meeting with ed discussed funding and what is the relationship between the funding and the offer that i just mentioned. if any. second, were having a problem on the bus. the past month or so sf mta is noticeably targeting the 25 [inaudible] i would've a problem doing fair inspections whether doing it several times a week. last night actually stopped the bus at the front of the street in front of the island and checked passes. it feels punitive. it's not like they're just doing it. this something that set them off and especially this is problematic especially consider how often the bus is late. what is going

on. how can we work with sf mta to resolve this bequest would be possible to get them to come out of your intel this how they select this as a target for inspections? thank you. >> >>[calling public comment cards] >> for the record my name is [inaudible] representing treasure island yacht club. i have spoken to the board thank you mdm. chairman for the opportunity to say thank you for this support of our islands and recently i was elected last week and as a commodore. as a commoner, my commitment is to get our jacob more involved in the community. regarding the [inaudible] and we've spoken with sherry and her team about utilizing the services for the recycling and michael is as, nor is to certify the community

are yacht club for 50 years should be part of the community. i just want to thank you all. >> thank you, commodore. >> >>[calling public comment cards] >> good evening and welcome to treasure island. commissioners. nice to see you all. i just want to respond to something that mark said. i don't know about-director of tries on housing the moment [inaudible] i don't know the particulars of anything that which residents are being offered what but for the record, anybody who is attending of good standing or all art 250 units when the replacement is going to be offered a replacement unit which will be a like units that they currently have. nobody is going to be displaced. the current

resident of anybody associated with the tie-dye house and i just want to make that very clear to anybody that's listening here tonight than to share that with our neighbors because it's important to us. report for 20 years to make sure that formerly homeless and low income people have a place on this island and its intercooler of the plan for treasure island and even though there have been reports in the paper it doesn't translate into any less of a commitment to making things happen out here when there are actually two dollars [inaudible] attributed to making sure this comes to fruition. i want to be just very clear about that. thank you very much. >> thank you. >>[applause] >> >>[calling public comment cards] >> hello i'm wild-resident of the treasure island museum and no one take this opportunity to update you on some of the

things we been doing over the past year. first-i do want to mention arbor board isn't susie actively in support of the prospect of having the lucas museum on the island we would love to have them as neighbors could want that to go on record. we had for a couple of years and exhibits in the back of the winery building it was called wish you were here. the golden gate international exhibition to picture postcards good that was funded by of your battery generously by your board and we had to remove it in february because of the immense construction of the island. however, it is completely available on our website and some of it is in our gallery in room 111 just off the lobby could again all funded by your board which we really appreciate. we also recently installed an exhibit in a couple of display cases in the

tida offices in escondido rotating exhibit that we hope visitors to the office will enjoy. we have been involved in small ways with the redevelopment. we were fortunate enough to be able to help in identifying candidates street names for the islands based on the islands history, the golden gate international expo session and we helped provide [inaudible] for next month on your, here. bubbling item. this is a started educating visitors about the new treasure on about what a wonderful and inspiring history the island has we hope that's cricketing a lot more in the future. we've had help from interns from the job court administration program from us as of graduate museum studies program and some student volunteers from [inaudible] academy have helped us in our work. we have been looking at the future treasure island

museum in building one we have a concept plan for about a 3500 square-foot museum and one of the wings of the ground floor and we are talking about where to put it. we are also starting a prospect starting are planning a capital campaign and we will probably be back to talking about both of those in the future. thank you. >> thank you. let me just say it is the history of treasure island and there's great there's an organization like it yours but as remembering your history and remembering it. so we really appreciate your work. >> thank you. we see the redo all the island as part of this sweep of history because from its very beginning treasure island has really inspired great individual and collective accomplishments. that is just

as true about the new development as was from the beginning with the construction of the island in the gg i.e. we want visitors to the island to understand that's not just what they see but this is treasure on past present and future. >> thank you. >>i just want to say first of all thank you all but [inaudible] i am one of the ones that originally from treasure island so i just want to make sure i am here when all the new develops going on that [inaudible] i love the island. this is where [inaudible] i've nothing against [inaudible] what i'm talking for the people that are been here a long time. in good standing doing stuff on the out trying to make the island the better place. this

is all i know good i went to treasure island. when they do come just make sure this is my neighbor right here. make sure i'm right next door to you. >>[laughing] i am here for the employees because i see long-suffering. when i came here it wasn't anything. i am amazed how far [inaudible] she is doing good work and [inaudible] my name because i will be here. thank you so much. >>[applause] >> anyone else for public comment? >> i am carol harvey. i'm a citizen of san francisco and i have this question. several articles that have been written

recently have given the impression that there will be no funding for affordable housing. so i was pleased to hear mark asked about this and sherry answer this. my understanding is not only will the homes that people are living in now be redone, rehab, but they will if they're in good standing be allowed to move into the affordable housing. i have a question. we understand it is always to that developers are responsible for including affordable housing in their projects. so a condition imposed on women are when the city granted them the permit was that lennar must include affordable housing and it is their responsibility to pay for it. the complicating factor here is that tida is saying we

are the ones, not lennar taken on the responsibility to pay for the affordable housing and there's no way for us to recoup the money. that is what it sounds like from a press report. so the question is why is the city taking on the responsibility to pay for the affordable housing when it supposed to be the developer's responsibility to include and pay for the affordable housing component in their project? have within our been given special conditions? is when our special? if so, why? >> i think that we could have some of the-these questions be part of the report from bob beck because he can certainly talk to the issue of the board of supervisors that is at the

board of supervisors right now and as usual the press does not always get the facts right but we will be hearing from bob on the issue of the funding for affordable housing which is certainly one of the biggest commitments we have. as a city and as tida to making sure that the portable housing is built. so we would do that under the directors report. any comments or questions by the board? please >> yes, commissioners you are right. the press does not always get the story right. i think with regards to affordable housing i think sometimes the obligation is on us. the board of supervisors and all the stakeholders that are involved in building affordable housing throughout the state of california to really educate the public as to what is going on. the

california development agency for more than 30 years was the state agency that was responsible, that helped the economic engine made up of housing available to throughout the state of california. we have senior housing, you name it all kinds of housing. each was dissolved in 2012. the aftermath that we are having here in california in fact san francisco is doing better than the rest of california is where we are. the state is still grappling trying to figure it out. so you look at all the cities. san jose, don't even talk about cities in southern california. we're all in the same boat. i think, for us because we are talking about treasure island when we make a response we maybe need to add a little bit in their,

information because, again, a lot of misinformation is going on. there are people just get soundbites. i read the article and actually read it and i'm on the board of treasure island. so this is where you are right now. i just want to state and also applies to all the issues we are dealing with here. that people do not always get it right. so we have an obligation here since you have the information to go the extra mile to educate people. thank you. >> if there's no further comments, from the public, >> item number three report by treasure island director. >> thank you chairman and members of the board. members of the community, i sat i'm sad to report yesterday after eight years of operation on the island the treasure on bar and grill permanently closed its

doors. as we prepare for development work along the clipper cove area and the contractor prepares to abate and demolish both the treasure island bar and grill building and the former home of the yacht club next door. there are a number of existing island businesses that can offer food options to the community as well as two new operations they'll be opening in coming months. we have [inaudible] café at e and 13th st. the island hope market at its new location offers an expanded list of prepared foods. also, in the vicinity of the front gate there's tammy's chicken and waffles and treasure island market deli and the tails hot dogs. as we start construction work in that area we are going to be moving those facilities were keeping him near that vicinity at the front of the

island. as well as, we have two new restaurants food service venues coming to the island. [inaudible] where we currently are is housing us tonight and they're planning to open later in december for doing continuing operations and then also as we discussed previously, there will be a container restaurant developed at avenue at homes and ninth street across from the new dog part. called their seat i would like to invite which the betty to come up and say a few words describing a facility as well as speaking to the shuttle service they visit with the opening of the new bike path on the west-east and stance span of the bay bridge. he was good evening beach or matters of the board richard-development authority. the first item i have here was an overall

rendering of the area. so if you look at the area where the great lawn area you will see a container composition of some containers. we broke ground on tuesday this week. we started laying out some of the base rock and leveling the area to purveyor for some of the containers that the tenant has purchased and hopefully we will start moving along with that process. with that i have [inaudible] who is one of the partners of the new restaurant container facility because one of the things as director beck mentioned, with the closing of the treasure island bar and grill they are prepared to actually speed up some of their options and provide sort of a smaller food facility so they can provide some food for the island. >> >>[inaudible] [off mic]

>> yes, girl power >> thank you, rich and bob beck. my business partner jeff --from executive chef at [inaudible] is not able to attend but speaking for both of us we are happy also that nick--with his architectural team came in partnering with us 12 buildings out. due to the accelerated course of the closure to the, of the grill, we have accelerated our plan in phase 1 to rather than the full buildout to celebrate it we've added an additional container that you see in the lower bottom site which will serve as coffee and lunch for the residence. as which indicated we've already broke ground and we hope to have that open will be using another restaurant in

the city as a commissary so we can get fresh local sourced food to kind of indicate the type of food will be per body. so we've accelerated that to goal to december we had initially had hoped to open fully in about march, january, said remarks aired. you know permits and all that. there are slight differences at an angle. it will be facing the water and that's a variable. we have already purchased the full-size à container digit fully operable. we did that as part of the accelerat choice rather than build out the custom building out kitchen as much of the shop would like, his military kitchen will accelerate our opening as well. for those for the community our commitment is to have fresh locally sourced food but overly affordable for the residents we

have a commitment to the island as we spoke previously. as i have spoken and we partnered with the treasure on homeless development initiative that we will be using our [inaudible] partnering with organizations and also their bakery at big works in order that we can provide support to the local community and sherry's organization so we've a strong commitment to that establish the partnership already without. so we want to be that focal place in again commit to the community overall. thank you. >> >>[laughing] >> thank you. so as part of the area if you look at the red there's sort of a red rectangle on the top part. that area-this little red area up in this

section is where we are going to relocate the electronic charging stations. currently there are over by the bar and grill. they are going to be moved into that first location. then as the director also indicated we also have this green area. the green area that is in the middle. that is our bus shuttles drop-off that we have. that's in support of the ike ramp. so i'll flip over. this is some other renderings what's going to be built in that area. but this is one of the areas here. if you look at a map where it has treasure island where you are here, that section is the bus, the shuttle drop-off and pickup location there are two locations. right now when we initially started in 23 october, the first weekend, we had one shuttle bus

system to operate and then after a couple of days of service we then increased it to two shuttles. right now, were operating on weekends and holidays from 730-6:30 pm and are shuttles are probably averaging about 160 passengers for those each one of those days. so it the demand is pretty huge for those shuttles. so i think overall it's been working out really well. we also security for those days as well. with that i think i'll just pass this on. it's a little more information. some of the shuttle schedule obviously [inaudible] and also we been providing handouts to some of the users, showing some of the businesses we have on treasure island and some of the opportunities we have here as well. thank you. >> may i ask, is this map online?

>> it is, yes. >> great, wonderful. when will we expect the new restaurant to open? you said federico march? >> no. we are looking at a timeframe and of december january to open up the initial phase and then the overall buildout probably a few months after that. >> good. >> >>[inaudible] [off mic] we've talk to the employees at the grill. i think they were shocked as much as we are it close down sooner than we had anticipated. so those willing to work with us going to try to work something out with him and try to give them an opportunity or i know two of them are residence on the island. i've already reach out to them. >> thank you very much for also reaching out to tie-dye into the job training and two works. truly, it's in the great resource we have here. i'm very pleased to see that you are

working with them. mark. >> thank you so much. about the information. particularly, we are so curious about what was going on at the dog park it does all this work and offense going up and what is going on. it's a mystery block. so it is great. mystery solved in silver all the people go to the dog park they will know. i will make sure to tell them. i had a few questions about the bikes and the shuttle and more though about just the signage. a couple times driving to the city after dark i've seen some bicyclists going up to the exit mostly scrabble to get to the city. going up a little less of a field in the hillcrest. this

is after dark. maybe just a little bit though and then have to make those sharp cuts in front of the people who are having on to the freeway to get onto the opens part of that division right there. so that is one thing. just general signage for the bicyclists and to let them know where is a good safe place or where they should be biking if there's any plans like that. sorry, one more thing, too. just let the drivers know get a lot of people here drive kind of fast. to let them know they have to share the road with bicyclists. thanks. >> director beck and i were on the phone had a conversation this afternoon with some books from caltrans and some the project builders and were looking at some different measures that area to control of these provide a little bit more safety in that area as well. so we are working on it

coming up with hopefully some different solutions in the future. but right now we are looking into just various aspects of traffic with its traffic calming or other measures in that area to create safety he was like signage brochure, rotating for the island. for the people here. >> great, thank you. >> i just want to piggyback on the statements. it would seem to me that this needs to be a priority, though. so were talking to caltrans. i think we need to tell them to-i thought even during the design stages that we saw this kind of thing happening. i remember when we talked about that. signage and [inaudible] all kinds of information along the roadway to educate, and so all it takes

is one accident. if they need to come back i think there needs to be a timeline to get this done. especially, now that the ramp is open to >> yes. we are working diligently. again it something that is new. haven't really experienced the number and volume of folks. in preparation that we put speed bumps. we put signage. we created a shuttle. the of adm. security providing traffic control and other security measures. again it something that will delete new. we are probably maybe three weekends into it. or try to fine-tune and approve the area and as we we understand the learning curve we can better compare and come up with a better solution to address those issues. he was at the point of entry they should have something there that actually shows this is going to be for that users. so that's if they can even install that to alert everyone, cars and also bicyclists and let them know

this is a [inaudible] might be something they can do [inaudible] anyway thank you, sir. >> there so many bicyclists coming. that is awesome. >> so just to add to what rich with eddie's comments, just to clarify he mentioned the shuttle operates on weekends and holidays. currently those are the only days that the bike path is open. so we are providing the shuttle during the case during the hours the bike path is open. just adding to what richard said, there is signage where the bike path reaches speed buena island costing bicyclists about the grades, narrow road paths, coming down to the island and our initial efforts were on traffic calming with the speed

humps and to try and encourage people as much as possible to take it vantage of the shuttle. but neither the bicyclists are here and able to observe behaviors, we are trying to enhance our initial efforts with additional messaging and traffic calming measures. that's what her colleagues this afternoon was about and we will have a follow-up on friday on that to trying get some of that installed as soon as we can. >> i will let the public if you have questions to come up after mr. beck has finished his report. go ahead, bob >> again just for residents interested in taking the shuttle up in either walking or biking across the path, that the parks from the parking lot across from ninth street and avenue b again across from the dog park. and in terms of the events this past month, october events included the 10th and

final treasure island musical festival. we had some rough weather that weekend did it kind of [inaudible] some of the grass but still a successful event. the rain also impacted the october treasure island fleet. they canceled their sunday event but did have the fleet was open on saturday the 29th. our film productions last month included a filling bike cesar milan's dog nation on the island and on october 27, we had our annual halloween event at the ymca gym. much thanks goes out to the john stewart company team as well as tie-dye, job court, and the ymca , and the department of public health for making the event a success. on november 5 the

navy hosted their very informational annual bus tour of their environmental program on the islands. speaking on questions of the affordable housing in recent conversations in the press, some of the figures that have been cited in terms the overall funding gap don't include all the funding sources that are available to us and are anticipated to be available to us. so the actual funding gap is significantly less than the figures that were reported in the newspaper but we continue to work with the mayor's budget staff and mayors office of housing on strategies and contingent that is used for closing that gap. in terms of the affordable housing delivery that's part of the development agreement on treasure island while it is true that when a developer is developing a single building in san francisco there wholly responsible for providing the

formal housing on larger programs like treasure island, the hunters point shipyard where there is significant amount of infrastructure investment that is required. you are not just coming in and building a building within the existing city streets. the affordable housing obligation is a shared obligation between the developer and the city. ti cd will be developing a portion of the formal housing as inclusionary buildings. they will also be making a payments to the city to help finance the balance of the affordable housing and then the tax and command generator with the project area also helps fund the affordable housing but the bulk of the affordable housing is to be delivered by the city in partnership with tie-dyed and it's that planned that we are working on the funding strategy for. this

conversations have also been discussed at the items that mark connor mentioned that are before the board of supervisors currently to form what is called the infrastructure and revitalization financing district and community facilities district. these are the public financing mechanisms for the project. to help fund the infrastructure as well as the affordable housing and the cfd is going to continue beyond the initial development of the program and be our ongoing source of funding for sea level rise annotations as well as for the operation of maintenance of the parks on the island. so those are very important. funding mechanisms for the project both in the near-term as well is going forward into the future. we expect to take those to the to the board of

supervisors in january and complete that process in january. i also want to highlight september the arts commission hosted a community meeting here on the island to discuss the arts master planning efforts and that we having another meeting tomorrow evening at 5:30 pm at their offices on that last across from city hall. the arts commission program director joel madden will be making a presentation at a future meetings of the infrastructure and transportation committee as well as the full board of tida there are activities either. the bookmobile has relocated to the 11th and h adjacent to the treasure island: a as of the beginning of november to the regular weekly hours are tuesdays 2-5 and thursdays 1-5. we have also started doing introducing composting service at the administration building

as of november 1. working with tool works department of environment and recology to divert materials from our garbage at building one that can make it into the composting program. tida staff peter somerville and peter russell from the department of environment are conducting a habitat management plan orientation and stewardship walk with the job court students and faculty this thursday. as well as i want to highlight there was a plan gas line shut off for today in the residential area along-and exposition. that has been rescheduled and will tilt place until tomorrow tomorrow or friday. puc staff will reach out to the residence before any service is cut off. but any shut up is expected to take less than a day to complete the

repair and get the line back in service. on the construction site, the site work and grading on yerba buena ivan are expected to mobilize at the end of month early december to prepare for the water tank construction and realignment of the call up road and other roadways on yerba buena island. at&t has completed the relocation of their cables on the island to reroute those out of the first phase of development. as people have seen on the waterfront the demolition of the barracks is complete. the contractor continues to process the debris from the demolition separating we bar and salvageable metals from the concrete material that will be crushed and reuse as

engineered fill. the abatement of the cost of day love is the library market and building 180 are underway in those buildings should be demolished before the end of the year. also on november 8 the developer received bids for the geotechnical work in the first area of development on yerba buena on treasure island as well as the reconstruction of the causeway. also i want to note that the poems along the western waterfront where the geotechnical work is to be performed will be posted for removal. after assessing the health of the palms, the palms on the west side of the island are not good candidates for transplant and relocation but the palms on the side of the island along avenue n are in good health and its those poems that are proposed to be relocated in front of building one in the plaza that will be developed in what is currently our parking lot. finally i want

to note that we continue to work with the planning department and the team from lucas museum of narrative arts on the environment told evaluation of potential impacts of citing the museum here on the island. again those are primarily looking at the demand for people visiting the island on the transportation and roadway systems. the lucas team is working to further develop the design concept percentage in the paper and working on the site design evaluation with planning departments. we anticipate bringing a letter of intent between lucas and tida to the january tida board building. if everything continues in a positive direction we hope to complete include the environmental evaluation in separate which will allow us to bring

amendments to the design for about another plan documents as well as a final agreement with lucas between the march and may timeframe. that concludes my report. >> thank you, bob. directors, other any questions or comments on the report by bob? if not other any questions or comments from the public? yes, these come up. >> hi my name is [inaudible] and i have a bike shop and number one, i think you might've already thought of this but i like to bring in the san francisco bicycle coalition and have them give an evaluation about maybe how we could do maybe something i can think of about how to make it better with her shuttle service

. something, number one just to invite them to give an overview and, number two, i don't the shuttle takes the bicycles on yerba buena and brings them to the far end of the island but i'm hoping if somebody has a bicycle problems that are allowed to tell the driver hey i got vice compounds of the driver can let them off where the closer spot to my shop is as they go through the front gate. the bike shop is back there. that way they don't have to walk back. those two things for emergencies, their greed bicycle emergencies and dropped off your my shop in order to get some input from the bicycle coalition. >> thank you. >>[applause] just to let you know we have been looking working closer with the san francisco bicycle coalition. in fact they gave us very helpful comments as we were building and in terms of

signage, it is something which is evolving but we do have a signage program for the whole island which will eventually be implemented. maybe the thing to look at is whether the summer that signage program can be pushed earlier so we can have some signs now. given the bicycle traffic that we have. thank you. any other questions? yes, mr. samaha >> bob i've a couple questions for you about the lucas proposal. i know you said this is going to be forced in january. for one, speaking for myself, i'm excited about that possibility. i see there's a lot of support in our city for that.. i am just questioning the timing. it seems like you say the environmental will be done in separate and then hopefully this agreement by march and april. that seems pretty fast given how slow the

process is for environmental review and so tell us a little bit about that. what is the actual deadline for lucas to make a decision? i guess they're looking at us and looking at los angeles as well. >> yes, thank you director samaha. in terms of the brunt of the work we are doing it is you it's not a full ceqa announced it is an addendum to our project eir. so it is not quite as involves as a stand alone project would be. as i mentioned the primary issue that is being evaluated is the transportation and traffic impacts of the museum compared to the hotel that was proposed for that site. originally. so if somewhat limited in its review. that we should deal to

complete in the separate timeframe based on the evaluation of the planning teams so far. in terms of the lucas team, they have been pursuing two sides, but as you know, projects of this nature are very complicated and pursuing conceptual design for two different sides becomes very taxing it in the january time frame they have indicated that's when they would be looking to make a decision to continue to pursue one of the two sites in earnest. again, their interest has been from the beginning to assure that they are able to get into construction and hopefully have a museum open by the 20-21 timeframe. from what we

understand, there is very little difference between the two sites currently in terms of our ability to get into construction and for them to actually be able to build their facility. we are within a month of each other on a schedule so with a number of challenges of these projects are essentially on the same schedule. but they're looking at what are the potential challenges and delays that might impact that schedule for delivery that can be critical in their decision-making. we continue to meet with them. we met with state lands to discuss what would be required to take the state lands trust off of the museum site and put it other over open space lands that are not currently on the state lands trust. we've had conversations with the navy about the profit-sharing agreement with the developer

and the navy and we are trying to demonstrate to lucas our ability to address all of these milestones in a timeframe that will allow them to move as rapidly as possible into construction. it is those agreements as well as as i mentioned the amendment for the fee for the work already drafting the amendment that would be required to deliver this project at that site as opposed to the design requirements for a hotel that was originally envisioned so we are looking at all those elements to make sure that we are able to move rapidly. we can make those changes until we are we've completed incremental evaluation. but once we've completed incremental evaluation we want to be able to move as rapidly as possible to clear those subsequent hurdles so they can get through design and into construction of their project. >> so besides this the title

board what other agencies or omissions would need to clear this project for it to be actually finalized? >> the agreements that i just mentioned they would go to the speed tied a board but the board of supervisors. we would need to do a trust exchange with the state lands commission. were already looking forward to their april calendar to make sure we would be able to be on one of their upcoming agendas. then also then the project itself from the project review perspective would go through the planning department am a planning commission. >> okay. that's a lot of work in a short amount of time so good luck. for all of us. >> what were doing in our spare time. >>[laughing] >> shirley the project will

come before the speed tied up board for approval when it's appropriate. since i think lucas and the lucas museum has to make up their minds as to which city they're going to be in we have i think generally we've certainly supported the idea of a museum, which can be actually a great resource for not only the people on this island but it could be a regional and international drop. i think from the lucas nizam to be able to have people come here and go to the museum but then enjoy the parks and the open space and the new retail which is going to be on the island it's going to be a great boon for them as well. so we have encourage them to look very carefully and also encourage them to come to san francisco. any other questions?

hearing none, next item please >>can i make a public comment? >> please >> thank you. my name is jeff klein. amend 18 year resident of treasure island. you all know me. i'm the lucas museum regarding the lucas museum it's been reported that lucas party has commissioned a consultant to check out the requirements of the law and see if they can get away with-sorry-the term excuse my language but do without the environmental

review. they are expected to report in the press they would expect to get this report from their consultant in january-is that right-i was wondering if the city is doing their own investigation of whether this is really going to likelihood it will pass muster without triggering a requirement under ceqa for environmental review because you're adding the original cultural participate 5000 square feet. grabbing 195 ft.2 for two under 75,000 total. according to the impact study numbers are going to generate over 7000 person trips per day, i believe good i'm sorry. 5000 and change on weekends and 7000 and change on weekdays. now you can check those numbers and there is an assumption there's going to be internal transit with a cold internalization is the assumption of the impact plan. but that will not apply to visitors to the use am. so they will be will to do this will 40%

magic ring doctrine of those trips. i think the level of service reductions that will be resulting from this additional traffic are going to trigger requirements for ceqa review could i when no visit is to look into this before they commit whole hog to supporting the project that they faced incredible delays. we have already saw previously supervisor jim peskin joined a lawsuit that delayed the project for i guess about a year and we've been allotted a long time for this project to go forward good i would hate at this point number finally about to break ground that you're considering asking delaying it even further. it just surprises me. i'd like to know the cities actually look into this and i said some hard numbers and whether this will trigger actually triggered under the law under the city's own guidelines environmental review requirement were just going to get by with a declaration from

the planning departments. thank you >> i like to go ahead and address that goes, should the first as i said in my comments is that the city is undertaking the club review. it appears at this point to be an addendum to our original eir but that is an evaluation that's been taken by the city planning departments. then i apologize. there was another point i intended to address but i failed to make a note. yes, we are looking at it under ceqa and conducting the city is conducting a ceqa review. >> >>[inaudible] [off mic] >> yes, they have >> let me just say another condition of lucas, if there is a museum built on treasure

island is that there needs to be contributions to making the ferry service work and in fact having the lucas museum, could in fact hasten the construction of the terminal and the ferry service because that would be a major link between of transportation link of getting to the island those visitors who want to come to visit the museum. >> let me interject here that for the public-the water transportation agency, it sometimes we are here and sometimes the bigger picture is not being connected. the city of san francisco the region as commissioner [inaudible] mentioned before [inaudible]. if you look at the

infrastructure and transportation expansion all the issues that people are raising are in there. so it's not just us here. the port of san francisco and the region are embarking on a massive infrastructure and water transportation two-year, 2050. i think all we are doing here is taking away this museum given its initial concept we know it is great. however, when the time when we get the letter of intent that is when all the agencies and the city will get to the drawing board and trying to put compare apples and oranges and what are apples and oranges. the careful development [inaudible] there's a lot of misinformation out there before we get a chance to everybody, bear with us. it just like everything we been doing on treasure island. were going to be looking at everything. at the end of the day treasure island will be a first-class destination than

anywhere in the world. that's what this project is being billed as good everything is going to be in there. rest assured. thank you. >> thank you. next items please >> item number 40 medications from and received by >>[reading ordinance] communication this month from the navy and treasure island sailing center several residential advisories and media letters from others. >> other comments or questions from the board? any public comment on these medications bequest next item please >> item 5, ongoing business by board of directors >> any ongoing comments or business? hearing none, next item please >> item number six consent agenda. all matters listed hereunder constitute a consent agenda are considered to be

reviewed by the authority board and act upon a single vote of the authority board. when you separate discussion of these items must member of the authority board so request which event the matter shall be removed from the consent agenda and reconsidered as a separate item. item 6a through the minutes of october 12, 2016 meeting resolution 6b removing approving eight agreement between the tida in san francisco chess notation authority. >> bob beck. we like to remove item 6b from the consent agenda and continue that to a future meeting. we had some last-minute revisions to the proposed memorandum of agreement that we would like to work through and bring that back on december agenda. >> so i revise my motion to remove item b and only approved a >> approving the minutes of last meeting. so i have a motion. can i the second? >> seconds >> all those in favor say, aye

>>[chorus of ayes] opposed? i think this next agenda item we like to move item number eight up before item 7 is the was item number eight cooper: update. >> thank you, directors. bob beck on i would just say a few words and then invite jay wallace from treasure island enterprise and chris harrison from-and say a few words as well. i am happy to report that treasure island enterprises and the sailing center with support for members of the board of supervisors who helped his old days of the discussions have reached a compromise that is

given to the government of the marina and that would include 336 slips but also would shrink the arena in the easterly extent it also shortened the breakwater at the end of the marina. the image on the second slide shows the compromise configuration from the marina has as i mentioned 336 slips with an average slope length of just over 53 feet. it provides an ample space for sailing centers current perfumes as well as good access to the clipper cove beach with a conduct some of their training exercises. also i want to include the current schematic design development for the layout of the trailin sailing cente landscapingr improvement

recording with pid c to provide the geotechnical improvements utility infrastructure in this area which we intend to incorporate into the next stage of development as we do the work along the clipper cold side. cold side. moving on from here bridge with betty of tida that msf we worked on long-term lease agreements with both treasure island enterprises to develop the marina and treasure island center selling center to continue its programs as well as for its way inside space and water site improvements.. both pie and tis e will need to begin their processes with the cdc for approvals and hopefully together engineering work to move forward with their respective developments. with that i like to invite jay and chris to come up.

>> thank you, bob. thank you mdm. pres. commissioners jay wallace treasure island enterprise. just quickly we were pleased we got the chance to work close with dave and karissa to come to comprise the works for us and works for them as well. i want to also say through executive director bob beck and bridge with betty we spent tireless hours helping us get to a place as well as what bob said supervisor kim's office and supervisor avalos is others were actively involved. were please to be in a place we can get started and bring the marina along with the rest the project it is a great moment in the karissa say a few things but were pleased to be here tonight. thank you. >> good evening commissioners.

the director beck. my name is karissa harris adamson cofounder of the treasure island sailing center and chair of the board of directors. as you saw in director beck's slides and hear from jay wallace am here to confirm that treasure island enterprise has settled on this compromise. the footprint and location of the marina propose for the clipper cold. they cover my suggested that space needs for the treasure island sailing center program. i just would you mind if we went back to the map? thanks. i just want to expand on the reasons for the two dimensions the director beck identified that are so critical for allowing our program to continue. the first dimension is east-west location of the transient docking this distance right here it's very critical dimension these would limit on the location of the transient dock is important because provides adequate space in an

area that's protected from ways current and commercial traffic. for beginner sailors to practice sailing up when prevailing westward winds that essentially blowdown golden gate bridge and on the cold. the second critical dimension is the distance of the transient dock to the south. you can see right-this is dying a little bit but that transient dock to the south is actually critical dimension because it allows just enough space for most of our beginner sailors to access the beach. the beach is really a critical five percentage safety lessons, capsize weapons swimming lessons is such and while the footprint will reduce the range and depth some of our programs that provide a minimum space we need to access the beach continue our programs in the cold and we really want to knowledge the meaningful changes that treasure island enterprise has made it will allow operatives to continue. although we understand this layout is not a final engineering drawing and that

the location the gangway and talk slips my change we have agreed that eastern limits and the southern limits of that transient dock are maximum dimensions so that they will not be exceeded for any reason due to any logistical economic or permitting requirements to those really are sort the maximum amount of space we can accommodate both to the east and to the south still run all of our current rams. i would like to pause for a moment and really thank you all for listening to work it's been a long 18 months and we bend at numerous tida meetings. we especially thank request for additional information on clipper cove for the use its users as well as alternative marina options. sharing this data including layout options provide the public form and time that enabled this compromise to be completed. your participation and attention to our concerns is really very much appreciated. i also want

to thank the grand supervisor avalos and kim and their stopper assisting in this compromise as well as director beck and rich with betty. over the last six years alone we've had more than 18,000 individuals enjoyed sailing on clipper cold, 12,000 which were used. we are really very relieved to reach this copper mines that will allow us to continue to ensure our kids have the space and resources to continue to grow and thrive to sailing here on clipper cove to develop a lifelong connection to the bait and to really become good stewards of clipper cove and all she has to offer. we look forward to moving onto the next stage of planning and fundraising to continue that to ensure our programs continue for years to come on clipper cold. it goes without saying that you all have an open invitation to visit us at any time. it is really anytime i

get frustrated i like to go down and see all the kids in action. it puts a smile on my face and helps to keep us sailing. if you ever want him out and go for sale please let us know it also goes for the rest of the people on treasure island. the residents as well as people with organizations particularly one set of children. our doors are always open and we love to have you come sit with us. i went to daughter executive director travis lund. he and his team do a fantastic job of making sure were accessible to our community and a genoa thank you and for your time. also i just want to mention i'm going to leave our interval reports good as some nice stories about our program and the map in our comments are included for the record. thank you. >>[applause] >> any other people speaking on this issue? so i am so glad

that you have come to a compromise and that we can accommodate the moving as well as the sailing center. both uses are important to treasure island and i know the sailing center has done so much for use in this area teaching them sailing techniques and giving those lessons and getting them on the bait. so i am glad that the marina is able to change some of their plans and basically a compromise. we are very glad to see it. yes, mr. dunlop >> i want is a muscle car. this is so great. thank you for coming to an agreement as opposed to coming to a court could so, thanks. >> ms. richardson

>> thank you again. our lessons learned here. your statement is very powerful. you said tida attention and participation. those are very powerful keywords. this communication and 18 month negotiation is unprecedented we care about everything we do here in this development and during this process listening to some of the people don't attend meetings and go by soundbites they don't really understand. so on face that some of the others the people making comments on issues they do not understand. again it is to convey to the public at all the stakeholders that we're just sitting here are stuffing every commission we take our very seriously. we want to have a positive outcome and mr. jim wallace was coming year we said go back and keep working on this and the rest is good. hopefully you'll be able to

convey to your constituents that this is basically what it is to allow people to engage and dialogue among each other when they do that and they love the process and they themselves are serious about what they are doing. we all win. we always get what we want but we get there. so thank you again for using those powerful statements and hopefully you can cope convey that. >> any other comments than? >>good evening directors. i'm hunter cutting. tonight i'm speaking on behalf of steve clipper cold as well as san francisco sierra club of the recent agreement by-anderson to pursue a small arena in the cove is a step four. however this proposal was still sacrifice one third of the cove

and significantly reduce public access. in addition the proposal was significantly reduce the programs operated by the sailing center. the sailing center basically agreed to take this hit in order to ensure that at least part of the cold is saved and i applaud them for that. in essence what we have here is a political compromise. that could and should be approved upon to serve the public interest. under this plan the marina will expand by 442%. in addition some beginning sailors will be entirely blocked from the cold preventing them from accessing the heart of the cold as well as the beach. when a percent reduction in the sailing area used each year by 2000 fourth-graders from san francisco public schools high school and collegiate racing will also take a hit. all these members and find seven

documented by the sailing center and i was a medical center's report for the public record. the san francisco sierra club met last night view this proposal informally resolved to oppose it. in considering this proposal i think important to ask what are we getting in return for sacrificing a third of the cold? under this proposal tida would provide but berthing for an additional two and 29 voters and get along desk straddle in that's it. were going to sacrifice a third of san francisco's best open water use up thousands by voters each year. the propose, mice would also violate very explicit the cdc policies on public access and recreation and they preservation. why you would want get on board a proposal that's what you end up in a showdown with the cdc staff i do not know. the sailing

>>[gavel] recent proposes to luxurious but more efficient design those 25% smaller yet provided the same number of births is the plan promoted by the developers. the center also conducted a financial analysis to show small arena was financially viable and the developers rejected that alternative. this proposal that were talking about today could and should be improved. the sierra club and save clipper cove looks forward to working with all stakeholders to make sure that happens. thank you. i'm going to submit the center's report and centers financial analysis for public records along with my statement. >> thank you. are there any others? comments? comments by the public? hearing none, next item please and >> item number seven led and a platinum certification award.

>> hello direct. my name is julian-the treasure island community development. but should you be before you again. in 2011 when the redeveloped project was approved the icd made a commitment to achieving leed and eight which is for neighborhood development gold. that we would make good faith efforts to achieve platinum which is the highest designation for lead and be. i'm here i think bob has already notified you that we have met that goal to achieve leed and he platinum. and i'm here to video elaborate about that a little bit and then introduce you to darren welsch from remi associates will provide some of the details, but what we have achieved really is exemplary.

not only is our project the largest and the project ever in titles in the world, it is the highest scoring or tied for the were scoring and he platinum project in the world. it really is a superlative achievement and we are very proud of it. with that all introduce erin welsch from remi associates are consulting on lead andy. >> thank you julie could think you board and director for having me. i'm here tonight to talk to some of the details of this really admirable and porto, shrimp that the project has got to. it's a milestone. so really the way i like to structure it is we might spend about 15-20 min. i'm happy to be interviewed a few questions get ugly going through a lot of this information so it doesn't bother me if you raise your hand and want a clarification.

and we can pause for the end for questions if you like to as well. would like to do is just set the stage. first of all for what this is in case some of you are not familiar those in the audience there may not be familiar with what lead is would be for neighborhood development is good so all set a little context were on the same page. try to set in context the commish meant of treasure island and to lead andy syndication as relates to other traditions around the world. then spend really needed the second half of the presentation going through some of the specific features and characteristics of the islands and of the project that many of you have probably been talking up an already know about but point out some of the features that allowed us to score points. i view it as just information and also eight accommodation or third-party verification are doing a good job. the specific features that other folks

overlook that and agree you are doing a got good job. it's a nice time to pause take a step back and really cut yourself on the back and feel good about the project. i've heard the world, world class a few times just being here tonight and i would agree with that. i would like to also note my colleagues joined right holder with remi associates and done the work love work with me and he is here tonight as well. so the first thing i want to throw out there is just making sure everyone knows what leed for neighborhood development is. it's relatively new programming last 5-10 years is come online. many of you in the audience on the board have probably heard of the lead family operating systems good us building council i think i would say the largest or most widespread rebuilding syndication body in the world and lead promotions for leadership in energy environmental design is a leading center for green building in the united states and i would say in the world.

that's a series of different leed rating systems for type of development when i first started out 20 years ago was all about office. it was all about workplaces. they start to realize there's other types of developers but also want to pursue green buildings. things like leave for school. we tell interior existing buildings. came online and then about 10 years ago the concept that maybe we need to think about not just individual buildings and green buildings going to about hold neighborhoods would you think that how they're working together and doing things like infrastructure, transportation location urban design in addition to just things like energy and water. people said maybe we can scale it up dugout neighborhoods. that was about 10 years ago. there was a pilot program. it's now gone public and a number of projects now numbering in the hundreds of registered and gone through this process of certification. leed for neighborhood development for

knowing all just a lead andy for short, that's what it means, works the same as all the other leed green building systems. you essentially have a list of credits or criteria you can accomplish various topics and you get points for those credits. it's on a scale of 110 bonus points sold on a scale of 110 and opinion on while you do you get certified down here at this and or even go all the way to silver, gold or platinum which is the very highest. i'll use two hands like a point also advance the size. lead andy works the same way. the better more points you get the more credits you achieve the higher your certification. some of the things it seeks to we ward are smartly land-use good urban design transportation choices

green infrastructure green building good some of these things did not use three actually rewarded very highly in the leed rating systems good the advent of lead andy applying at the neighborhood scale they are more strongly rewarded in some of these concepts of started to trickle into the building rating systems that i think that is progress. >> quick question. this is already in existence but us building council? >> correct >> but you mentioned it's a worldwide system, to give to other countries have different systems or great file sparrow a typical national system? >> great question. the global landscape of green building rating systems as complicated little bit all over the place us green building council was started in the united states actually northern california was one of its big place it started expanded nationally but a number of years ago started certifying projects and other countries. submit certified

projects willy all over the world i think it was every continent has leed projects at this point. living with her doing is filling gaps in many countries that don't have the systems. other countries australia, europe they have their own versions of this. it's not as widespread but proud china is becoming very common. many parts of asia, parts of europe your parts of africa. it's kind of all over the place at this point. >> okay. >> so just a quick summary of what the rating system is. i said it really expands the definition of sustainability and green building. there are three major categories where you can be rewarded. this concept of smart location and linkage so good about website and connected. that's one big bucket where you can score points. another big bucket is this category neighborhood pattern and design that's things like volatility, urban design, how are your public spaces, how are your parts and are they integrated with each other. third this bucket of

green infrastructure and does good some of the things that you usually associate with green building things like energy efficiency, water efficient. we survey our rewarded for those and lead andy rating system and can score points in that category as well. applying that just overall framework to the project here are the results and here is the reason that project was able to achieve a platinum level of certification for its plan. i know there's a little bit smug i apologize if you have it in front of you there but this first category smart location and linkage -where was your patient with the connection you did very well could 22/28 points. the second category of neighborhood pattern design which really comes into some of the urban design, public space tree lined streets, neighborhood schools more local food, you scored

36/41 points and then this third category of green infrastructure building sport 20/31 points. i've worked on almost a dozen of these lead andy projects run the country at this point and this is by far the high-scoring one i've ever worked on and i can say that most projects will do well in maybe one category or maybe two categories but doing well in all three categories is rare and aberrant role and 20 the reason the project scored so high. let me give you a couple of statistics in terms of our lease to other syndications i'll close with some details about the actual project and program that were scoring well. so julia mentioned it's tied as the high-scoring lead and the project in the world. again a great accomplishment. there's one in china that's close. it couple other in the united states, but it's it the very top is the largest about in the

world certified under weed version 4 which is the most current version of lead. it's updated on a three year cycle. it's currents also. the largest plan to receive platinum. first lead andy version 4 platinum and then of all the posix registered globally right now when we last counted a few weeks ago there were 227 registered, only 17 achieved platinum. so that just to point out that achieving platinum is no small feat. and i think maybe one of the project i worked on. achieve it silver and gold is more common. so again i'm here to deliver good news and tell you you did a great job. it's very impressive. so i want to now go through -it's easier for this to a laundry list were people glaze over and can't keep up with it all but the fact is this rating system is complicated and brought and tried to give you credit for the whole array of things that come up in community and neighborhood development could there is a lot there. we tried to break it up into a few categories just a

you understand where it's coming from and how some these points were achieved good the first thing i'd like to say as many of the credits that you end up achieving the way back. they go back 5-10 years when the design for development and some of the documents even before that were being created and this very good team of people working on guy worked with some of them even that 8-9 years ago and never think about these things. so design for development the sustainability obligation integrated into the design for development and then some of the associated infrastructure plans, housing plan, dissertation improvement plan as well as the habitat management plan. all those things tie into the leed for neighborhood certification and in fact many them the people work on the back that some of the standards to make sure they were writing the plan such that they would achieve the criteria. so this is really the fruits of almost a decade, plus

of hard work and smart work. embedded within those plans. some of the things like climate adaptation sea level rise art example of what was big into those lands. improved rest service date into those plans and i could go on for a long time. so one of the ways this project was able to achieve points was because of it's located many the credits just inherent on day one when we picked the location. it was a hard choice it is infill previously developed. it avoided the not built on farmland did not build on habitat. there was remediation of brownfields that needed to happen as part of the project. there was restoration and preservation of habitat reusing historic buildings, providing neighborhood school could all those things kind of came with the deal when you selected the site. you got credit for that. not all projects have that. other things once the project was selected the designers and the

planners and some of the folks here in the room started looking at how it should be laid out what it should be that again is going back a long ways. that's regards him points for things like parking open space. the idea providing scholar box words easier to walk better connected. that her street network to ms. all works together to create a village concept that works for everyone. the diversity of housing types that can work for a variety of stages of life in a variety of types of use. you are getting credit for that. the fact is relatively compact. those are also big into the site fan. some of these parks. yes, these are probably many diagrams you've seen before and we were able to mine them for proof that the project was performing well. so some of the things were a little bit more i would say not later in the game but they could've gone either way. through working with the team

we were able to tease out what we thought our level of performance was going to be. i would categorize these into bucket that one is the horizontal things went to infrastructure and the second the burden of things related to building metal wrap up. so in terms of horizontal implements which is the infrastructure that images hearing tonight starting to happen, things like storm water management, retaining very high very large rainfall volume can be retained on the site. through the storm water plan. the idea of energy efficiency and interest dr. the streetlights, your topic signals again some of the conventional just leed building systems you honestly get credit for that and you don't have control over it. that's a great leverage point to you of control over the infrastructure on the island and can achieve a level energy efficiency for that. wastewater treatment, using recycled content in the infrastructure and actually

director beck mention things like crushing concrete from demolition and reusing it on the site. your earning points for that and it's a smart thing to do. street trees, sidewalks affect was an urban farm, lower speed limits which makes it safer for pedestrians. transit stops. but some of the good outreach and its patients continue to happen. these are all things that when we line up against the racism you scored points for it. how you install your streetlights, with a level of efficiency is, some of the street trees, storm water, all adding up to giving you credit. then some of the things on the vertical developer. these are things to be honest when each gave our eyes on the make sure were following through on these commitments and these i guess thresholds that we are confident were going to achieve but really they're going to be trickle-down four years into

the within development that we are doing and also what gets passed on to future developers and future building on the island. things like building specifications and contract specifications. so a level building energy efficiency. this is actually relatively set up for us in california because it's the state code. you are lucky in that way. it's something that's very achievable here. the water efficiency level is actually hire the most part except worked on. it's 40% improvement over a base object very good and i think appropriate for california. this concept of solar reflective roofing where you're actually reducing the heating cooling i guess the sparrow under building and also keyed on the island. this something that we think is achievable survived the buildings themselves the materials is certified through the building systems. the

diversity of unit sizes so whether you're single professional or a large family that there's room for everyone to i think that's a great concept of social diversity inclusion which can up early in the meeting. that's happening here. some limitations on parking and the public realm and the good urban design. pedestrian orientated façades and the ability to do recycling composting, both some people that live here and through the construction and development process. these are some examples what that would be. some of these things they look good and they look nice and also turns out it's a great standard of urban design that was signed off on. i will close

with this. there are some things that starting now in the infrastructure. were needing to track the need to make sure it's happening they shouldn't contact is a paid attention to continue through vertical development. some of those things include construction waste diversion and so the example of reusing the construction and demolition debris on the island for engineered fill. it's a great example that it is not going to landfill. outdoor water efficiency were beginning to look at this through the landscape architect and what is being installed in the parks in the planting schemes. renewable energy and ability to reduce energy on the islands. the topic of affordable housing came up. this right now we have 27.2% below market rate target. which is again very high. and it's higher than any of the other lead and the projects i worked with the exception of two which were 100% of warehouse made seconds integrated high-level receive points for it. finally transportation demand management which is a big one. i knew you look really aggressive goal on that and light pollution reductions were limiting light pollution off into the bay from the

developments. so [inaudible] thank you for bearing with me on that this is justice to clarify the scope of neighborhood development and to the development team to summon that of the things you're used to seeing in the leed for new construction systems teams like the touro indoor air quality building conditioning, those probably will be happening but they would happen building by building and so our certification is not tied up with these concepts. i think a good thing. i think we get the book perimeters around the scope of what our server edition gets us. but these are the topics that will be dealt with downline building construction. i will stop there. i know i went to a lot of topics but i wanted to show you the range of what allows you to score so well and i'd like to open up if there's any questions or requests for clarification. >> first, before we open up

questions i think that this is really significant. it's really incredible honor to be leed platinum. not just leed gold but leed platinum for the neighborhood. and to know that we are actually the largest neighborhood that received leed platinum is certainly we should note that. so it's a pat on the back for the tida socket to the designers. i think we should- >>[applause] >> thank you. let's open it up to the board for questions. yes ms. richardson >> yes. can you hear me? mr. welch, thank you. i want to shout out to you with this information because i wish the sierra club guys in the rest of san francisco. what happens a

lot of times is that we even though we are meetings are televised debates and tubes of information i think we need to take this to the road this information. besides tida website does a disservice to were doing it. because we inherited that i know there is a plan to actually upgraded and put things on their. are you going to be writing-who-is it our response will you ever two right publications because all the major publications in the world sometimes when you're on the airplane as you're reading them some of these very nice magazines talk about all the major projects in the world. this is a big deal here. so who is [inaudible] your advice because my suggestion is we need to take this information on the road not only would the

press release or whatever is right in publications even the lucas museum they need to know here in southern california this particular development and everyone looking at it is a world-class fine guard what would be your suggestion that? does have a series of ideas would like to entertain again for us to take this on the road. if we don't then i think we have ourselves to blame. the way that people hear about treasure island is when they sure about all this stuff a lot of misinformation would here we have a very fine project that is defining the standards for everything in the world and we are sitting here. so advise us >> i agree with you. we then talk about julian and tid sever studies show that the let them take this one. >> thank you >> i would just say were looking forward to working with tiger woods and promoting this achievement >> think you very much >> if we somehow screwup and

don't really build it as it's written to you take away our points? >> yes. one of the things i would try to get at in flowing through some of the things inherited to the site or bacon and some of the things that are happening now is that of a yes and no question. as a my professional opinion there are some credits because was no way you could lose just based on how you are the less the site plan entirely change. you're going to get them. there are others that it's possible you could not if you don't follow through on commitments but i think we are on track to achieve the commitments. to the way it works with us green building council will certify you up front the plan that's been entitled and then at the back and you get that stands as a completed project. there's opportunities to get

certifications from small carveouts because it's a phased approach if you want to do that . so there's no penalty if you change the plan and scored two points instead of one or one point instead of two. except that your score changes. i think right now the goal is to follow through on the commitments something changes that the final bill project is what we will be judged on. >> i don't believe there will be. great start. it's such an honor. the architects and developers, just worked so hard in making this project happen. this is really wonderful. i want to thank everyone from the staff and everyone involved. thank you. >> mr. samaha >> this is wonderful. this is i think from many perspectives what we all should be a name for or rather around the world in development and i can see how it could help the planet.

does help the planet. it helps global warming, all of those great things that we do but i do have a question.. specifically, in regards to you say credits and points. i'm really wondering is there any incentive, financially, to be a leed platinum? does the government whether it's federal or state government, do they give any incentives financially tax wise or otherwise to incentivize developers to achieve such levels of lead? i know there are many different levels scales rebates and other financial incentives that are given to somebody who wants to buy an electrical vehicle. they give $7500 or $2500 or whatever. i've had a fiat and i love it because it's electrical

vehicle the government subsidizes it. so we could get any those subsidies whether it's a small developers were a large development such as treasure island? >> right. like a lot of questions about funding and financing something is a simple answer but i can say some of the federal programs around housing absurd to incorporate lead and leave for new birth of development. so hard choice differs in some of their neighborhood investment and for the housing programs have started to say your application is preferred if it achieves leed for neighborhood development. i know that the city is referencing the various green building standards in their own building and planning process. then i think there are the sort of formal on the book grant programs and then there's this concept of being a world-class development and the cachet. i think that's the

other it's not a direct funding source but i think it's a reason letter projects to lead. is something you can point to to show off and so i think that's another angle that i think could be very beneficial financially for the product >> that would be great if we could focus also on incentives really for developers to do this because it does not come cheap and takes a lot of preparation and planning and engineering and all that. we all mean well. people mean well but sometimes in centers may help. they'll be something i'd be supportive in helping to do. looking forward on this. >> yes mr. [inaudible]

>> two things i like his and the leed building is expensive upfront. sometimes i think the moment we get so focused on the building of the project cannot be ensuring the project is well run and nice to two years from the building of it. so i 10 i think if you do spend up front and it doesn't come cheap but it does put us in the greatest chance to of a well run and well latest cost project in 20-30-40 years. i do think over time, the cost upfront smooth out. i do have one question. if the lucas museum, that wasn't taken into account because it was not part of the project. will that have any bearing on the leed certification or anything like that? will you have to integrate that into the -will it just be certified at the end? is that how it will work? >> yes. julian and i need to huddle on that and grapple with what the impact is good rating system is designed to be flexible and accommodation ages

to the site plan because every large budget like this has changes. this flexibility. there's things like a standard for 90% of buildings were 50% of buildings. there is the ability for various criteria to change things. i think should probably take a look at it and see with the impact is. things around walkable streets of things around building entrances. certainly things around targets for energy efficiency or water efficiency or effectiveness of like that to knock some of those out of the part. like to show up on things like that. i think we should-it's a large enough of sizzler we should take a look >> because use treasure island i like it to be something we discussed here at the commission. i think you would be worthwhile. >> yes? >> i think even for the lucas museum what it indicates they would abide by all the standards that the energy conservation in building design it's already there. so any project even

better god come to treasure island it's a leed platinum will attract the finest environmental [inaudible] to abide by all the stuff the standards before we can even accommodate them. the engineers and all the stakeholders. that's what we are getting. so they already know that. so it's [inaudible] >> this leed designation is [inaudible]. the buildings themselves were to seek their own designation but i think that is something that we will look forward to is that the buildings that are built that in deed they aspire to a lead gold or leave platinum standard as well. so that will be certainly in the future as those buildings are built. but

i can say the leed platinum designation actually shows us as a model and indeed, we are already getting visitors from all over and scholars from all over. in fact we just had a delegation from taiwan. we just had a visit from the harvard fellowship from them with planners and architects from all over the world begin to look at treasure island. i think having the designation and having the accreditation of the leed platinum gives ideas to other projects, trying to to other projects, trying tobe built it's really a wonderful achievement. and really i think staff and tic deed are to be congratulated. so are there any comments from the public comment

? please,, and give your name. >> good evening. my name is [inaudible] for this early assessment looks pretty impressive. but i had a question. how did this, about? was that a requirement initiated request who how was it funded? that is my question. >> i can say that in fact it was the product of many years of effort. certainly the design for development document and the team was chosen by tic to work on the master plan. they form the basis of the design work but in the thinking about the neighborhood. certainly it took any community meetings to get consensus on getting

approval for the master plan as well. bob, did you want to add to that question? >> i think there's been an aspiration from the beginning of the planning for this project for it to achieve a high level of sustainability and design and several years ago again during the plan development phase the project was recognized by the clinton climate initiative program which is now the c-40 program as a model for sustainable design could so kind of these aspirations have been part of the planning since the beginning and electing to go to

the lead and deep process was just a way of measuring our performance against the aspirations that been part of the program since its inception. >> but i think it takes a forward thinking community to have these goals in mind. so when the designers came together to do the maths and they realize in san francisco these are the values we have. so it's really wonderful to have that acknowledge. guess? yes? - excuse me - can you come up? >>thank you for responding to the first question at the second question was how was it funded? >> i will let bob- >> again, the design development effort is being funded by the developer, treasure island community development and so the

consultants that you heard speak tonight have been contracted for and paid for by the ti cd, by the developer. >> mr. samaha >> by the quick russian. julian, can we call you daddy no? >>[laughing] >>[inaudible] [off mic] >> good. what is the next item? >> item number nine discussion of future agenda items by directors. >> directors, do you have any items you like on the future agenda? >> i like to hear about the bicycle signage issue. >> if there's no other comments, or questions, i think we can adjourn but let me thank dan offer hosting this. yes mr. beck >> yes do deftly want to thank dan off for hosting us tonight

in recognizing the be opening next month so people enjoy the food tonight to come back and even if you did not come back and tried again. but i also wanted to close tonight's meeting with unfortunately a sad recognition of the passing of director richardson's mother. chief mrs. dorcas-i know that she has been a significant pillar in director richardson's life and will be sorely missed. >> thank you all for coming tonight. >>[gavel] >>[adjournment] >> >> >>
