views supervisor yee holds and doesn't necessarily represent the entire body skoe want to make sure supervisor yee gets his question answered and i think the answer is, yes-actually we don't know. can we ask the body to convene a emergency meeting to renegotiate the mou, do we have that authority? >> that is a question for dem. >> i will check. there has got to be something in the bylaws that allows us to convene in a emergency body but what that would entail, i like to have further dialogue with you. >> fair enough. >> because i guess i don't-if we dont-i'm try to pursue a path if we want to make chaisks we can make changes and the path now it seems we cant make

changes. >> supervisor-john gibbener. just flipping through the bylaws and i'll follow squup let you know. make sure this is correct after the meeting, but the bylaws provide the chair of the authority may call a special meeting with 10 business days advanced notice or majority of members may call a special meeting as well. sounds similar to the rules at the board of supervisors. in the case the authority they need to provide 10 business days notice. >> so. making a suggestion if at all possible and the threat

of san francisco not being the fiscal agent was discussed last week and the discussion maybe conclude that through your word or staff words that no other entity is capable or hads it capacity that we do have so it seems that is our leverage if we use it at all. >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor tang. >> thank you for your question. i think it is really important that san francisco remain a fiscal sponsor because we do care in san francisco and think that we do have the ability in the role to really set the tone for other cointies as well. for me i see it as a advantage because other counties may not feel the same we do or hold the same values. i just want to put in that piece. i want to

get claer clarity. each county has their own bylaws they adopted mou's and so i think is there question supervisor yee is asking is there time and opportunity for the other member counties to change the bylaws. if alameda county would say we will not apply grant funding to urban shield, is that what we are-is that possible for us to achieve here? >> deputy city attorney john gibbener, the question is can alameda county the sheriff or board of supervisors make a determination they will not use funds for urban shield, that is not something that the board of supervisors can achieve and don't know how what it would

take within alameda county to make the call. >> the timing in terms of the fiscal year, urban shield is allocate squd approved for this calendar year. this grant is for an urban shield that would occur in calender year 2018 so think there is already a mechanism in place with alameda county board of supervisors action whether to proceed beyond this year and that is the task force recommendations that we are waiting for. >> so, if the ald alameda county board determine they do not want to continue then our conversation here today is null and void? >> correct. >> the question is how are the dollars allocated and this body is going to determine where those-not sending to urban shield it will go somewhere so

dont know if you have any indication where it ends up? >> i think it is training and exercise but i appreciate the interest that you have shown z colleagues have shown so we will have deeper conversations how the investments are made. >> just give the mic back to supervisor tang. >> hearing the convertiations here sknr public comment, everyone agrees we want emergency preparedness and funding to make stronger and safer but we want to separate and parse out towards urban field and militarization of law enforce. because the grant is what we are application we are approving today is for fiscal year 2018- >> 2017 but-- >> applied in 18. >> activities are carried out in 18.

>> so, what can we do right now to make sure that right now when for example people may be protesting or exercising their right that some law enforcement agencies and counties are not going be harassing people or using certain tactics on individuals right now? i know that is a complicated question, but-- >> just given supervisor yee your questions and from the staff how many people are from san francisco and par tace pating and conversations with john, what are they doing when they participate in urban shield we can report back to you exactly on what anybody from san francisco if they plan on participating and what that participation includes. is it a swat team exercise or more for search and rescue or water rescue or is it eoc. the eoc communication or interoperable

communication so you have the assurance if anyone engages in urban shield you know what it is before they do so. >> okay. i highlighted a couple positions based in san francisco that you provided a list for. they are numbered, so for example number 1 and 2 cl are lead exercise planner and exercise planner. 8, accordinator. 9, special events coordinator. response operation planner. 16, assistant deputy chief. home land scurtd from sfpd and analyst on 19 and 20 and lines 36-39 are the terrorism liaisons from sfpd, fire department and shirrf department. those positions seem to based othen titles

potentially have where these are the staffers who have any sort of coordination with urban shield in terms of infears i think are out there so i don't know if there is a way-it doesn't have to be at this very moment but just to get more details on what those particular positions do and how they interact with urban shield. >> sure. would you like me to-on the lead exercise planner if you want names it is jill reacroft and primarily doing episcenter exercise which is earthquake exercise in april before the 1906 anniversary and fleet week and do a series of exercises between but has some level of ininvolvement with urban shield. the exercise planner is doris bor on and focuses on the yellow command

aspect which is eoc. emergency operationm our goal last year was to bring in other big city emergency managers familiar with recovery in a urban area to help qu there is a catastrophic earthquake. those are the type of things we are exercising. the training coordinator reports to me. it is really about certifying all our staff and other city staff so they can be deployed for aid. there is a program in the state to certify emergency managers and credential them. they surge as a planning or operation chief, logistics and sent them to other areas thof state and also bring in people we are assureed are trained to operate in our roc. that is her focus. very little if any at all valvement with urban

shield. special events coordinator is andrea-our concern is we don't special events to impede the ability to respond to anybody else in the city if they have a 911 emergency. so it focuses on security, the emergency medical resources if they are drinking, so do they have first aid tonets tents and sober center that is adequate that isn't a draw on there ems resources. response operations planner is more day to day 24/7 duty watch. if you get a ccsf alert and there is always improvement on that and talk off line about that how to get more people registered for our emergency alert because every time we send out a alert people drop off but want to know if there

is a active shooter or someone dangerous they shelter or take other precautions. >> number 16. >> number 16 is chief shane francisco in charge of home land security division at the san francisco fire department and he really is our point in contact for special events and he also manages a lot of grant programs that fire department so assistance to fire fighter grant. when they were awarded additional fire fighting personnel from the federal government he was the person that worked on that grant. i can't speak and sorry i don't know what his level of involvement is with urban shield. the two home land security unit captain and analyst work with chief fran

cisco. i believe they also have a nert component, don't know if that is listed under there or in a separate item or not. if that gives you a idea but happy to provide kind of a key deliverable by position if that is helpful and again apologize we didn't have that for you today. >> okay. the last ones were just the terrorism liaison for the 4 departments. >> they are liozen to all harders crime center so they support law enforcement, fire department. i think for the police department there is a video analyst for homicide and a video analyst is for solving crimes when the homeless penitentiary person was killed and kicked to death, the video analyst was the person that figured out that the assailiant

put his hand in a place so picked the dna evident off the wall to app hend the person just from the video analysis. that is the type of liaison work they do. >> okay. i think for us i think our challenge is-thank you for the run down by the way. is wanting to fund certain aspect of emergency preparedness but not other uses. i don't know if the amendments today will address it or need to push it off a week to figure what ort counties may do to revise their own mou's. open to discussion on that. >> thank you. it is a little of both. the amendments address the discussions-some of the problems we look to address we spoke of last week, it doesn't really address supervisor yee's i think main point is to whether we can call

a emergency meeting and begin to renegotiate the mou and thought what that will look like. i have a couple remarks i want to get out into the public. want to thank everyone that is a part of the conversation. thank you for coming down and have known ann croneenberg many year jz outstanding person. speedy recovery. that is no joke, a serious surgery. the main concern brought to the body regarding our ability to withhold funding from other counties particularly those employing the program of urban shield was i think one of my greatest concerns. urban shield is a intensive multilayered training program and exposition of military grade equipment to prepare law

enforcement and emergency respondsers in emergency scenarios. while it is popular among some law enforcement in the first responder communities i think based on the most immediate change from the post san francisco police commission in their i guess leaving the joint terrorism task force in reporting in partnership with the fbi i think that speak tooz the changing dynamic that is happening. it no secret urban shield is a controversial program and don't you to feel like you need to defend it, we are just having a honest conversation about the merits of the program and is it reaching its mark or not. i am concern td about the increasing militarization of the police

force not just in san francisco. we ironicically don't have that problem. not to the same degree as some of our other neighboring law enforcement agencies, but i have been very very outspoken the last several years regarding community policing, transparency and increasing the relationship. i asked questions last wednesday meeting to better understand our role as fiscal agents and scope of power we have to impact the programming that other counties use for funding. as was stated earlier in the conversation, the deputy city attorney john jibner advised it is not oin our scope of authority to tell the county how to use the funding and think there sadis crypt aenls i heard from the advocates in the

public comments they believe we have that ability and that ability to weigh in the matter so just want to make sure i have that correct. if not our legal role to tell cointies how to use the wasi grant dollars but take it seriously that we have a responsibility as regional national leaders on police reform and public safety to take a stronger role. we are fiscal agent and think we have been not paying as much attention as we could be. now is a opportunity to continue to push forward. there was some comments about last years letter sent from 3 of my colleagues that are

ironicically no longer on board but they sent a letter and one thing i learned about public policy and bringing about change is it is momentum and takes time for momentum to build and build because not only do you educate policy makers but also the community and public. i think there was value in the letter that i think was avalos, campos and mar wrote to alameda county encouraging them to refrain from using wasi dollars. today i want to introduce amendments to the resolution that i like to see implemented and hopefully voted on unanimously. isent you a copy urmier in the committee meeting and found a error can. the

amendments include language to encourage alameda county to refrain from funding for urban shield. i want to be really clear that i am interested maintaining our fiscal sponsorship. i think that we are a strong county that so far we have demonstrated that when we are paying attention we are really good. we are good. it is when we are not paying attention where we seem to slack off but wree engaged. this body you heard the discussion we are paying attention. i want to speak to the fact that the amendments that i am introducing also requires deparchlt of emergency management come back to the the board of supervisors upon

receiving the grant money so our city can formally accept and extend the grant and also use it as a opportunity to get a update on the existing task force status in alameda county, which as we said earlier assessing the urban shield program. i think that is a very fair request. colleagues, i believe you got the amendments before you and hope you can support them today. to supervisor tang i made a tweak at your request to change one piece of language on page 2. page 2, line 2. for the record, whereas urban shield is a intense emergency preparedness training program for law enforcement which uses military graitd equipment to train first responder and it goes on. now, we can do a

couple things. we can take a vote and accept the amendments to the resolution and then figure out if we want to continue this item, or if we want to pass it out without rem recommend ation. madam clerk do you have advise? snow. looked like you were gety ready to speak. >> thank you for the amendments it does send a clear message from san francisco. for some it may not feel like enough but think it is a great start. one question i have is the fact the alameda county task force will consist of the proposal is have consist of 18 members and there a list of the board of supervisors rks sheriff office,

red cross, stopurban shield coalition, civil rights attorney and so forth and wondering if it would be appropriate for our chair perhaps director koenenberg to serve on this almeady county task force as a fiscal sponsor to oversee the conversation and recommendations? >> i hope it includes us. >> we are the fiscal sponsor, let's throw the weight around. can they tell us no? they can? if we are the fiscal sponsor why not--throw our weight around. >> i guess my question is, i would like to see that happen because i would like director croneenburg volved so can we amend to include the chair of-

>> we can ask. >> i'm second that. >> we'll get to had vote in a second. maybe also just stipulate that if in the event she isn't healed up she can send a proxy. >> great. >> supervisor tang is there anything? supervisor yee? >> i just want to stay these amendments are putting us in a right direction. they are positive amendments and i will support the amendments. however, if the call for the vote is to pass it out with positive recommendation i will not support that. >> that was a slip on my part but you are right. i have one more thing before we go to vote. deputy city attorney gibbener, there was discussion about renegotiating the mou.

how real is that? i still don't quite understand the process. >> i don't know how real it is. i think that is a political question. it's the discretion of the director of dem. it sounds like the department is hearing the concerns of the committee and the public right now and so they have the conversation to be had with director croneenduring. >> to the members of the public in the weeks time we are deal wg the issue i reached to all 5 members the alameda county supervisor tooz get understanding where they are. i had a long conversation with keith carson. my staff spoke to hisstaff and also my staff spoke to supervisor via's staff as well. there seems to be real movement and urgency athround concerns the advocate said bring forward today and

feeling confident and better about my decision today knowing that you have people that are taking the concerns advocated today very seriously. incredibly serious so much they set up the independent task force. i'm sure many were in the meetings. so, i thank you for being the watch dog and keeping us honest and mr. dayton you know we will awatch you, sir. we will be on you. >> thank you. if i can say i appreciate you being here. you make america more american and you know, if you call 911 we will respond as quickly as possible because that is our primarily role is get the help they need when they need it. >> we want to make sure that continues to move forward. thank you for the last statement. you can sit down. so, there are a couple

of-deputy city attorney? >> one clarifying point on the last amendment not to supervisor tangs amendment but the last piece of your amendment regarding the department coming back for a approval-i believe in past years the funds have been appropriated in the budget during the budget process so no accept and spend is required and this committee will be considering the budget in the coming months and so you will have a few options. you could not appropriate that money in the budge lt, you could appropriate and put on budget commit areserve pending report back or accept and expend resolution. i want to flag that as a ongoing issue. and, thank you very much for flagging that. did you catch that and understand what he is talking about? i see heads knauding. there is a motion made. supervisor tang made the

motion and supervisor yee seconded the motion. >> the amendment was to urge alameda countsy to allow our director of emergency management in san francisco or i guess a high level staff to serve on the almeady county task force evalvateing the urban shield program. >> take that amendment without objection. and then we'll do my amendments. without objection and i mentioned several amendments. i don't think i need to reread them i think the clerk captured them. are you clear? >> clear and motion we accept your amendments. >> second. >> without objection that passes as well. as amended what shall we do? >> through the chair. i recommend we send to full board without recommendation to highlight there is still issues we are looking into. for

example, looking into whether other counties can renegotiate the mou i so forth, but again i feel like these amendments like supervisor yee sets on a positive path forward. >> we in areement? it is no recommendation. without recommendation. >> i like to say that even with a no recommendation i would urge director croneenduring to pursue what i had discussed. at least see if it is possible. it is possible you can do this but politically i don't know if it is possible but in the procedural way it is possible and like to urge her to do the procedure.

>> take this without objection or do roll call vote? >> we can take without objection. >> okay. without objection the motion passes as a-minded. thank you. thank you madam clerk. laej, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being a part of democracy and i'm sure i will see you at full board. next item. >> item 8, resolution to approving modification 3, services agreement between air tran system and city to two one year options to maintain service for the airtrain system and obs sleet airtrain parts not to exceed $115 million. >> thank you. we have john up dike from real estate to speak on the item? no? item 8. sorry, john. >> good morning. thalities

that's okay. cathy wagner with san francisco international airport. >> we'll save him for item 11. >> thank you. the item seeks approval for modficaigds 3 to the airport existing contract with bombard yea. this modification will xurz the first of two one year options and- >> one minute. ladies and gentlemen, could you take your conversations out of the committee room so we could continue with the business on the agenda? thank you. mohammed. thank you. you and your friend. we got work to do. thank you. i know. i agree. >> modification number three to the airports existing contract with bombard yea with exercise the first of two one year options and extend the contract through february of 2018. as

well as increase the not to exceed amount of total contract by approximately $15 million. the board of superizvisors approved the original contract in 2008 as well as the two subsquents modifications to the contracts that exercise options as well as added money to the contract. the air pornts airtrain system provides 24 hour a day service through the airport and consists of two lines that serve all terminals, terminal garages, the bart station as well as the airport rental carsenter. in our peak traveling season the airtrain serves up to 27,000 passengers per day and does currently have a service level och 99.7 percent. recommend approval

and happy to answer questions you may have. >> good to see you back. this is clean and straitd forward contract. let's go to public comment. excuse me, sorry. there is a budget analyst report. >> as mrs. wagner said if you approve the contract there is one remaining one year extension through 2019. the increase for the next year to 2018 would be $14.9 million. this is about 3 percent increase for operation and maintenance and thought it was reasonable and recommended approval. >> thank you, i appreciate that. colleagues, any discussion? public comment is open. seeing none public comment is closed. >> make a motion to send forth with positive recommendation to full board. >> thank you. >> item 9, resolution

prevailing wage rates for individuals engaged loading or unloading materials goods or products from commercial vehicle in connection with special events and individuals engaged driving a commercial vehicle loaded or unloaded on city property with show or special events. >> have pat mulligan from labor standsards and enforcement. this is a resolution that sets prevailing wage for individuals who load or unload commercial products from vehicles for shows and events on property. this is the first time we are setting prevailing wage for this sector of works and includes drivers, fork lif operators and forman. i made your presentation for you but pretty exciting. >> thank you i was before you

last week with anual approval for prevailing wage and lease agreement on city property. this is not included in the packet because at the time this was submitted before the civil service commission for initial review and this had not been approved. since this was approved after the submittal it offered independently. there is one more outstainding prevailing wage classification for security service that will be coming for the board to make the formal approval for the rates as well. >> thank you, supervisor yee has a question. >> hi mr. mulligan. what caught my eye is the fringe piece, the benefits. curious how is that calculated because it seems it is all most like equivalent to the wages.

>> much like department of industrial wages established prevailing wage rates for construction craft work throughout the state of california, san francisco review-collect bargaining agreement frz that work classification. in this case it is a teamsters package for loading and unloading for special events and that is what is before you today is the teamters bargaining agreement. >> i guess my question is spirfck to the benefits like how is that calculated? what are the elements that added up to basically 75 percent oof the salary? >> it is typically helt and welfare so healthcare benefit squz fairly generous retirement provisions. with prevailing wage classifications, in the event an employer is

working-engaged in the collective bargaining agreement and making those payments say to a joint labor management trust fends in the event they be expected to provide that some other way so they can provide directly on the check. >> can you provide myophorous with breakdown of benefits? >> just curious how it calculated. >> absolutely. no problem. i'll schedule time with staff. >> for the record i want to reflect each board the is required to set prevailing wage. the civil service commission provides the data to help determine what that level will be but are not bound to it data, is that correct? >> now it is at the discrugz of the board and why it is before you. we take time to see what we think is most appropriate

and should add that moving for ward this will be included in the anual submittal with all other prevailing wage classifications. j ladies and gentlemen, public comment is open. anyone like to comment on item 9? seeing none public comment is closed. before we go i want to go to the the budget and legislative analyst. >> i'll be brief. as we say with prevailing wage legislation we are not able to determine the impact non city cost because we don't know what the contract costs are associated with this. but as you pointed out this is the discretion of the board of supervisors so consider it a policy decision. >> thank you. thank thank you. is there a motion. >> make a motion to pass out of committee with positive recommendation to full board. >> thank you very much. without objection that passes. we have taken care of item 10, let's go to 11. resolution authderizing a sublease at 1440 harrison for

approximately $300,000 monthly. extend for use by the human services agency. >> thank you very much. now, we have the-you are not john up dike. john updike come down and make a presentation and inform us. we have john updake to speak on item 6. >> john updike. one of these days cathy and i will swech off so i can do a airport item and she can have one of mine. robert will t up the presentation and have copies of the powerpoint. robert ross of hsa will lead and i'll follow up. >> good afternoon madam chair, supervisor tang and yee. before i begin i want to thank

supervisor tang for the wonderful pod you helped out with. love those. makes our facilities better. >> thank you, my staff actually. >> we are here today to discuss lease renole at 1440 harrison street in san francisco. and i put together a presentation. this early morning shot. i just want to discuss the program that operates out of the building. as some may know, medi-cal just celebrated its 50 year anniversary and 33 of those years have been spent at this location at 1440 harrison. the space currently housing approximately 263 hsa staff. it serves more than 330

people per day. actually 2 days ago john and i were at the site and on january 31 they had seen over 650 clients that day. as you can tell that is pretty big numbers and to site more numbers we serve approximately 195,000 individuals and 122,000 cases. now, one case may have multiple individuals so why you see a discripancy in the two numbers. i'll address and take your questions, but basically anyone, any san franciscan can walk into this building no matter what their socio economic status is or get information advise or sign up for medical insurance. this not include medi-cal but covered california as well, so

it is a very good hub for folks especially if you have language barriers. it is great to come in there and have someone explain the very complicated issues around helths insurance we face these days. and in addition to med kale and health insurance we ask folks when they come in to apply for cal fresh. often times we found if you qualify for medi-cal you also qualify for cal fresh which is food stamps. we really have seen a good delivery of services with this method and it makes it lot easier for people in san francisco to get multiple services without having to run around the city which we know can be troublesome. we can talk about statistics and feel

free to ask questions. as you see from the top left diagram, there is a large proportion of san franciscans who are chinese descent that use this site and are also enrolled in medi-cal, which is-the point of bringing that up is it shows how important translators and how important it is to our community-very diverse community to really support folks in a understandable and easy way. it also talks about primarily languages and i believe it is over 29 percent account for cant neez and other api languages. >> this is very important but we are here to talk about the lease and rent so let's just get to it. we know what we are doing and know we do translation and do it well, we are in agreement on that. let's just cut to it.

>> okay. i think i heed that and i appreciate that but it is very very important. the point of me saying that because it is budget and finants and easy to put things in a spread sheet but have to understand the social dynamics as well. if it was rp were to go away especially with the current political climate it makes folks very worried qu can cause social issues. recent renovation in 2012, we spent approximately $1.6 million to renovate the lobby and service center as well ozoffice training spain space and childcare space. i will hand it to mr. updike to discuss the lease renewal terms. >> mr. updike i'm sure you read the budget and legislative analyst report. >> yes, madam chair.

>> that is good well we can start from there. >> very good. thank you. so, i think really the highlight of what robert articulating is what a large property is needed. we want the flexibility to have everyone in one location because there was discussion whether you could bifurcate this operation into two smaller locations perhaps gives us a chance for lower rentals because that market may be more available to us and the point i hope you take away from the prisonitation is having all the resources in one location is tremendous value >> student the human services agency. we have a 56, 878 square foot building and include a parking lot that is of value and a open court yard which provides a lot more respite. both client and to

staff on site. what is before you is a 8 year, 3 month initial term renewal with two 5 year options for renewal. the initial rate of that renewal is $63 per square foot and annual increases are at 3 percent. i know this is a huge increase from where we erp in 20 twechbl when we last renewed this. when we did the renewal in 2012 and each time we do renewal we try to negotiate the best deal to bring forward to you for consideration. that was a fixed rate so the rate did not increase the last 5 years. of course the last 5 years have been a tremendous increase in the market place so it exacerbated the change from where we were and headed now. >> supervisor tang has a question. >> for public record if you can state what percentage increase it is from what we currently have. >> i believe the analyst had it

at 195 percent. i got that right? >> got that on the record. >> alright. thank you, i think. so, the main questions and concerns posed in the report i felt were two fold. one is why an 8 year term for this initial renewal. why not a 5 year term. in negotiations with the ownership, the prior lease, the master lease we are renewing here had a 8 year extension, i believe it was 7 year final extension at the outer ejs edge of the series of renewal term. the owner prepted to us a reasonable price if the initial term was a little longer so we are swapping out the 8 years for 5 years instead of having at the tail end thof deal bringing

forward. the concern is what if there is a recessionary event in the next few years. have we missed a opportunity to renew at a a lower rate. my crystal ball is foggy when the recession may hit and think comments and research done by the budget and legislative analyst what the market is trying to understand when we may see a leucineing of the market. the point i took away is there a flattening in the market place . there is not a decline yet. would there be decline, i dont know but like to quote from the controllers report referenced in the report and that was, growth rates for the most exnomicically sensitive revenue such as property, business, sales are projected to slow in the final 3 years of the 5iary year plan. the base case does not

assume a economic downstourn. that said we ran two different scenarios. if we did a 5 year lease at a sligetly higher rate because that was the demd of the landlord if it term was smaller, the rate requested would be above $63. it is a range of 70 to $80 a foot which i can show the evident why the landlord was thinking that. if there was a economic down turn say 20 percent market downturn and we consulted with the controllers office to try to understand what a appropriate downtourn and recovery would like like, we modeled that and asked over the 8 year period where we spend before you a little over $31 million in rent what if we did a 5 year and a a 5 year what would that same 8 year period look like with a recession occurring during the first 5 years and both different models picking different dates for recession

to set early and late in the term, the models indicate we are still spending more. 33 to 34 to $35 million over that 8 year term. so, my point is, we are bringing forward in our opinion the most efficient and least cost lease here. the risk we run if we were to say to the landlord we are just want to do a 5 year deal and we cannot come to agument with the landlord based on our apraivl the landlord has the right to go through arbitration so the landlord gets his appraisal, and arbitrate in front of a third appraisal. there is risk involved in that. that process could come back with a number in this range that you see here of 70 to $80 a square foot. >> can i question- >> i hope that helps articulate

the rational and risk ahead. >> supervisor yee. >> quh i looked ed at the compareable leases in here it seems like i'm getting half a picture here. why do i say that? because i look at the addresses and they are all closer to mission bay or something but in that direction and here 1440 harrison is further out and you dont have any addresses that are close to that. the market i think is more expensive once you get closer to the embarcadero and so i'm just curious, are there no comparisons around that area? >> there are other compareables. those are in the independent appraiser report. those include property ies on

townsend

>> to the school district that is a lease that goes out to 2040 so sale, purchase not a option in my tinnier. >> why don't we break the lease or ask the school district to

break the lease and deal directly to us? >> when we had prior discussion with the school district about lease versus purchase and you may recall this, when there is a lease revenue that is very flexible revenue for the school district under the california education code, when there is a sale of public asset by a school district it is very specific how the sales proceeds may be used and is restrictive and they are less enamored so had the discussioned and usually fall on that issue they prefer the flexibility of garen teed revenue stream. >> it seems we are wrun team and need to operate in the direction that is bea benefit for all of us. >> i do not disagree at all. >> what reason do we not lease from them and cut out the middle man and just lease with the school district? >> they have a executed lease with harrison asset llc so

there is legal risk. perhaps mr. gibbener can speak the complication of breaking the master lease. they made certain assumptions when they entered into that lease and probably secured financing so that gets complicate #d. >> so we haven't exploreed it >> we exploreed it years ago before the 2012 prenewal and that discussion did not go very far. >> we have a new person there, david golden is retired. >> i think david is still there. >> my apologize, david. love you. okay. supervisor yee. you want to finish out the line of questioning? >> i'm finished. >> in your expertise and all the years you spent on the school board, you probably

dealt with if not this issue a similar one. >> i understand why the school district would rather lease than sell because once you sell it is capital and that is all they use it for is capital where in a lease situation you go into programming. >> there is no amendments or changes that can be made that is specific to this particular property? >> i can't speak to-you mean from whether the school district-and can't speak it too that. >> perfect, no problem. anything else? are you finished? >> i believe i have conveyed our position to you. we believe what is before you is the best possible transablgz with the lan lord at the least possible risk. >> can you tell us the timing for when you did the-it is all

the different dates or is it like when you ran the comps? >> the cbre appraisal was completed december 2016 and reviewed december 16 by cliff ord advisory llc. the comp said came from colliers and asked them as a favor to take a look at the market place and what might they do if they represent the landlord so this another side of the coin no question about it, but and trying to reflect what the risk if we went into a appraisal arbitration >> is there thought, i know 204 40 is a lauchck time away but we are on the same team and would have been great to have a nice relationship with the school district given they are the owner so any thoughts about once 2040 hits how to plan

towards a situation where sfu sd will still be the property owner but hsa may have a better lease agreement? >> i would hope so. we cannot execute a sublease beyond that term, so as we get closer to 2040 it is more and more imperative because the importance the funs in 2049 it is just as important as today and sure we will be in a position where we want to say we want to retain the use at this location so it is a worthwhile conversation to have, but i think we are in a wrong time in the middle of a very long time-long term master lease. as we get toward the end the risk starts to dissipate and it may be a very worthwile conversation and who knows by then perhaps the education code can be amended. i had with the school district and they had with legislators

so they have the flexibility when they sell a asset. >> let's turn to our friends in the budget legislative analyst office and see what they have to say about all of this. >> i do want to point out and don't know what this means but the master lease between the school district and master tenant has a option to extend so renewed 2015 and my understanding the options goes through 2025, is that correct? >> there are multiple options to extend however the options are not mutually agrewable. they are triggered by the master tenant not the school so the school district has to acwes to extend and there is discussion of the rate and reset on there rate each time that the option is renewed up

until the final date. >> i am curious why you didn't mention this in the presentation? >> it is not pertinent because it isn't a decision that the school district gets to make. it is a receipt of information the school district makes thmpt aungzs are not relevant is a right that the sublandlord can execute and the school district and sublandlord agree on price. that is the only possible failure point and there is arbitration for that which is binding in nature so you are-we do see this and sure the school district viewed it in the conversations and would continue to view as long term underlying master lease. my apology. >> it is relevant and important to me. the bla flagged and presented it so youprinted as if the lease expires at 2040

realty is yes, it expires in 2040 but we have chances to intercede and make changes or advocate in our interest so that is the key point i was looking to hear in the presentation. thank you to the bla for pointing that out. you may continue. >> in terms of our report, as discussed the rent is going up to $63 a square foot and 194 percent increase however based on apraisal document it represented 95 percent of fair market values which is termoffs had lease. over the 8 years of the lease the rent to the city is about $38 million. i believe 36 percent is paid by state revenue and rest by city fund. our concern is the lease

sublease between the city and the master tenant currently provides three five year options to extend the least and one final 8 year option and that is the language. the city is exercising the 8 year options and we are considering this a policy matter but do want to point out there is a technical change to the resolution in termoffs the number of remaining extensions. >> thank you. okay. seeing there is no colleagues on the roster let's go to public comment. public comment is open. seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. thank you. i believe that supervisor tang, do you want to talk about the amendment? >> sure. you know, i this is a interesting situation that we have here before us, but at the end othf day we want to see the services continue. it is

probably not the best situation we wish we were in, but any case i'll make a motion to adopt the budget analyst recommendation clarifying the amount of lease extension times or terms and then i think from what i heard from director updike we probably don't need to make the change regarding the term length, right? >> right. >> okay. i'll make that amendment then and as amended send forward to full board with positive recommendation. >> lets 's take the amendment first as stand alone. without objection the amendment is added to the legislation. thank you. alright. thank you supervisor tang. supervisor yee any remarks you want to say? no. i probably am going to vote to- i could vote no on

this lease agreement as amended or i'm happy to vote and send out of committee and have a larger fuller conversation at full board. i'm just uncomfortable with it level of due diligence and the work that has been done to revisit or renegotiate this contract. i may change my mind when we dpet to full board but telling where i am today in the committee. >> i'm comfortable to pass it out with positive recommendation. the motion is to pass it out without any recommendation i'll support that also. >> you support with no recommendation? >> i'm comfortable with both. >> through the chair, if it makes you more comfort to send without recommendation i'm okay with that if you want more

information on the work that department of real estate has done to talk with the school district and explore the impacts of if we were to terminate that agreement with harrison asset rks llc earlier than 2040. >> can i point out that i think the terms of this particular sublease or lease that we have with the middle person, is actually expires when y >> master lease >> without the extension which it- >> 2040 >> it goes up to 25 for them. >> okay. so, i would enjoy having a conversation with you director updake dike. you can bring the danishs and love to

see the item come out of committee with no recommendation. without recommendation. alright. without objection romed without recommendation as amended. madam clerk, anything else before us? no further business. thank you, this meeting is adjourned. [meeting adjourned]

>> we think over 50 thousand permanent residents in san francisco eligible for citizenship by lack information and resources so really the project is not about citizenship but really academy our immigrant community. >> making sure they're a part of what we do in san francisco the san francisco pathway to citizenship initiative a unique part of just between the city

and then our 5 local foundations and community safe organizations and it really is an effort to get as many of the legal permanent residents in the san francisco since 2013 we started reaching the san francisco bay area residents and 10 thousand people into through 22 working groups and actually completed 5 thousand applications for citizenship our cause the real low income to moderate income resident in san francisco and the bayview sometimes the workshops are said attend by poem if san mateo and from sacking. >> we think over restraining order thousand legal permanent residents in san francisco that are eligible for citizenship but totally lack information and

they don't have trained professionals culturally appropriate with an audience you're working with one time of providing services with pro bono lawyers and trained professionals to find out whether your eligible the first station and go through a purview list of questions to see if they have met the 56 year residents arrangement or they're a u.s. citizenship they once they get through the screening they go to legal communication to see lawyers to check am i eligible to be a citizen we send them to station 3 that's when they sit down with experienced advertising to fill out the 4

hundred naturalization form and then to final review and at the end he helps them with the check out station and send them a packet to fill and wait a month to 6 weeks to be invited in for an oral examine and if they pass two or three a months maximum get sworn in and become a citizen every single working groups we have a learning how to vote i mean there are tons of community resources we go for citizenship prep classes and have agencies it stays on site and this is filing out forms for people that are eligible so not just about your 22 page form but other community services and benefits

there's an economic and safety public benefit if we nationalize all people to be a citizen with the network no objection over $3 million in income for those but more importantly the city saves money $86 million by reducing the benefit costs. >> thank you. >> i've been here a loventh i already feel like an american citizen not felt it motorbike that needs to happen for good. >> one day - i pledge

allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, for liberty and justice for all. >> you're welcome. >> (singing). >> (clapping.) >> introduce the san francisco field officer director ribbon that will mirror the oath raise your hand and repeat the oath i hereby declare on oath repeating. >> citizens cry when they

>> out of everybody on tv and the news he felt that is necessary to be part of community in that way i can do so many things but my voice wouldn't count as it counts now. >> it's everybody i hoped for a bunch of opportunities demographics and as you can see yourself there's a good life for everyone. >> that's why. >> you have people from all the walks that life and they're

standing in water 8 hours to be an american citizen and contribute to the city and that's really what makes this worthwhile. >> ♪ ♪ thank you.

>> for km my name is ed reiskin i'm the director of transportation in to san francisco and absolutely delighted to be joined by u.s. secretary of transportation andrew's and mayor ed lee and some other smart and committed people to announce and celebrate the grant award of $11 million from the u.s. department of transportation to san francisco to help us do some of the things most important things we do in the city first make sure that people can get around more

safely and move people inefficiently and fewer vehicles and really try to groundbreaking hinges in a new development in treasure island on the corner of that map really bringing that kind of innovation through 24 grant with really groundbreaking stuff and fit well with the three is where the get over the finish line was we have a mayor that has been a strong leader and currently innovation and collaboration and that's really what that arrogant problem about call about we're honored and humbled to be a recipient of this grant i think that rehabilitates a lot about the current administration and u.s. department of transportation when president obama announced

andrew fox as his nominee to be secretary of transportation we knew immediately that that would bowed well, for cities and for the whole crisis andrew fox was the mayor of charlotte and they knew each and everyone of each other there the conference the mayors and a progressive great work in that he is city in charlotte for transportation and more general that he will serve us well in d.c. he understand what happens on the ground in the city he also brought to the job a great passion for equity and creating opportunity for people in recognizing that transportation is really a big part of that and extremely important here in san francisco more so than it's ever been and a strong focus on safety and also a it up priority here in san francisco with vision zero

now almost 3 years ago in the city to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024 but i would like to see most revolutionsy a approach that may sound shocking the federal government didn't have all the answers and this grant program and the smart city challenge we're seeing he really took the federal grant process and flipped it on its head and a attribute to the secretaries leadership to say hey, we don't dr. all the answers and a lot going on the ground rather than telling you what to do we need you to tell us what the goals and equity and safety and collaborate across the city to improve the outcomes for people if you're city and region through the smart city challenge and there this grant program that is changed.

>> the way we partnered between local and federal government and we have a long history of the partnership and great infrastructure project with the subway and the van ness brt and the geary brt also some innovation and technology partnership that is sf park this one really is different approach and really a testament to our secretary of transportation i think history will reflect that he will be one of the best to serve in that capacity we were incredibly howard to have him in san francisco please help me welcome director of transportation andrew fox >> anthony and he had thank you for the wonderful introduction it is also great to be back in the bay area with the great friends friend of mine mayor ed lee who has demonstrated so much leadership on so many issues in

particular transportation and we'll talk about some of that today also has been in the bay area for about 48 percent hours and suffice to say ii see the evidence of the tremendous congestion ♪ region and if you were in the jelly making business i'll have a big jar of traffic jam (laughter) and let me say this is part of the 21st century challenge of transportation in america >> you're in one of the faster growing regions in the country if not the faster and a dime economy and problems of transportation are not just related to you know a lack of attention to trying to move

things along it is actually, the fact that growth is outpacing our ability to build the infrastructure to solve our problems and if i might just depart what i was intending to say parts of that is the fact at the federal level so much of our transportation policy and fund has been built around building these testimonies systems and the challenge of 21st century is integrating those systems and making the systems work better together and really if that context that the u.s. department of transportation for at least the last 8 years has been focused on trying to help our nation through our communities understand that we need a more demand driven transportation system by that i mean rather than dictating to the country

how transportation is to be practiced from place to place giving communities more flexibility giving them more resources. >> allowing them to shape the vision themselves because frankly the challenges here in the bay area are different than in the midwest and different in other place we need the flexibility we're a big country and need to practice transportation definitely than place to place understanding we're proud of the fact we launched the smart city challenge, a challenge that really did turn on its head the typical grant making process what folks will say about that the secretary walked into a conference room and said we want to do this they want to frng what they were looking for we'll

know it when we see 2 we saw great things in san francisco and we preceded to go through 24 process and in the process with the advances litigation congestion granted san francisco was hugely competitive that's why we're awarded the money inform this project here so let me get back to what i was supposed to say the as a matter of fact of the matter is we need to leverage the kelly whitcraft had help us reduce the congestion and during or doctoring my time we've been focused on innovation we've been inclusively ways to empower san francisco to repeat technologies frankly you were doing this on our own anyway we were here in the convenient last year federal government to help and to

address transportation issues you see everyday in the same vein flo the field for initiative approaches to advance transportation technology for example in december a vehicle to vehicle mauvent all light rail to be equipped with technology to communicate directly with each other on the roads and released the most advanced set of safety rules advance in the world i'm sorry this is unmanned aircraft systems or drones what i was going to say to top it off we've proutsd the first of its kind for ammonias vehicles 2, 3, 4 is the most comprehensive policy that the world produced and precedence setting in the sense we're setting out the ground work for the he will

technology systemthorax in october we announced $65 million in advanced technology transportation grant to help the cities across the country fight the congestion and encourage the market those grants will build on the smart city challenge the challenge asked the cities across the country what they need to improve their systems and few limitation in giving us that feedback in response we received applications for more than 78 cities and our goal with this round the application grant we want to make that easier for local areas to test new ytdz and reach beyond about what was deny to meet the challenges we know we'll face in the future and so we provided almost $12 million to san francisco to support a number of projects to encourage ride sharing and

carpooling and making that better by having pickup curve for the riders and helping to deploy smart connecting traffic to make intersections safer for people riding bikes now separate and apart what did you do by nearly $360 million for the demand on - that will connect public and private transportation options all of those are p.o. box san francisco to be one of the most connected cities at a time when the infrastructure continues to be stressed that's why it is too important we need to test in the 21st century solutions to those issues i should also is that maybe to conclude that mayor ed

lee knows when cities come up with good solutions to problems overtime they get replicated elsewhere so we are trying very o vertically to user laboratories to helpful see some of the greatest efforts represent indicated in other parts of country so mayor ed lee i want to thank you and the entire region for your leadership, and thank you for continuing to push the vision vision for transportation to its growing edge shall we say. >> thank you for continuing to help us help you by giving us great things to work on together and looking forward as partners to help with that collaboration well into the future thank you.

>> (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. secretary that needs to give a flavor of the new and better way of the federal government looking to partner with us with regards to taking things that are employed in the city with the replication sf park and a opportunity pilot a pricing for that concludes my remarks that led to a significant reduction in congestion and their green house gas emissions made it easier for people to find a way for parking that is now becoming a standard across the country and that kind of innovation happening can be invested and replicated across the country within the spirit of that grant the secretary mentions that the congestion in the city i was hoping he wouldn't that is something that the mayor talks about i'm trying to tell him congestion is a good

thing it is healthy but he remind me too much can have adverse safety impacts and start to make that harder for people to get around for work and education can help start to restrict the ability for the growth it has so some of the tools ♪ grant will help us address that or challenge we're having to make the streets safer at the same time, we have great leadership from the mayor among his tasks to nominate the directors for the municipal transportation agency and we're happy to be joined by our charm of the board of directors tom and their leadership inform our agency that positions you guess and the rest of the city to be competitive for this grant first

place i wanted to acknowledge they're great leadership by the mayor has done a lot for transportation and the task force brought in half a million dollars to invest in that infrastructure as the secretary talked about and most of all helps to us partner outside of government and that leadership is also positions to us to be a contender please join me in welcoming mayor ed lee >> (clapping.) >> thank you. good morning everyone and welcome to super public another indication of the way we're doing things in san francisco but we're part of a whole region let me take the opportunity to thank our friend secretary fox thank you to you, your leadership and you know as i was listening to the secretary

talk not just about the grant but looking at him and thinking years ago when president obama suggested more than suggested he said we had to be covered from the economic disasters when he first started started to make critical investments transportation has been the center whether borrowing that clicks on the president was there along with leader pelosi working closely with our city and making sure we utilities those federal funds appropriately to get jobs done and start talking about the center of our city and how we might be prepared for economic recovery even better and look was has happened 2, 3, 4 did 8 years and it is not just because we want economic activities i think there is a dramatic movement of people who want jobs and better life to move into the

city and they're coming regardless of whether you want to put the welcome mat or not people are looking for that better life but happening in all the cities in the bay area and across the country and secretary has observed and visited chinatown and part so i say that in the sense he really want to say thank you to a former mayor to a friend to secretary who literally is here from the first welcome back to the last week of his tenure to be in the city i know he's appreciated for a variety of reasons and die is no exception we're here super public because we heard is not just the support from the secretary the administration we

literally known that his folks at the fta are writing the transportation systems personally experiencing what day to day people are talking to us about so they can say oh, this is what you are experiencing and this is work you need those funds and not just a complaint about suggestions but a direction of finding solutions as reflective we don't need those things on the singular city and fda grant it is bribl everyone together so that's why super public has been a model with academia and leadership where the county is involved and technology leaders are involved and their data is confirmed own mta and county transit experts

can all congregate to make sure not only we're using does the federal funds the way it is directed bull bringing in the extra juice of folks that are going to be thinking in the future and shouldn't surprises you, we were getting a smart is city grant but shouldn't surprise you we're not independent on a single grant but commitment committed to make sure our city and region continues to be answering the challenge the congestion but i also think two this is what the added value of that we have - when we were by the obama effects to come up with better solutions i'm specifically happy about something that was done a couple of years ago back the mta

said in response to not just technology not just the transit who are we serving as well but tailor have been documented disparities who the transit system serves and so in that muni equity strategy i've provide the mta adopted identified a lot of community not serves when you are not served you not going to a participation and dialogue how electric autonomous electrical vehicles help the community impoverished for any years you want to have a policy and system that serves everybody that brings even up so the growth strategy was as important as the newest introduction of technology and how it will help

everyone when you combine all that you get the attention of the president and the discreet and the attention of our fta administrator and the leaders please san francisco is paying attention to everything and all aspects of improving everyone's life and using transit agency a way to get things down that's why i celebrate not just the grant of $11 million but the hundreds of millions of we've been fortunate to receive we have not only national leadership that paid attention but people's life experience like former mayor fox that understood from the first minute how those challenges are to every city that's why we work closely they incentiveed by challenging us through the smart grant to do it better that's why

out of all the entities that came together the bart and community bart next year i think we're doing it right we're answering those questions i think we're having the dialogue and the inclusionary policies that will make our city better for everyone this is y what i came to office to try to do and thankful for the leadership as director reiskin and the county of transportation agency are putting together all the detergents so we could eat less of traffic jam and more of the peanut butter (laughter). >> and take the opportunity on the last few weeks of his leadership to say thank you secretary to our leadership those are years we'll look back

we've done things well and got the support and leadership of president obama and the capitol hill not only not just the money but what we've created out of the opportunities that bring this city and entire region together this is what i think those federal divisions are all about not just fund transit projects but bring people together to make sure that crying country was moving together with everybody that's why i'm particularly provide of the the way the incentiveed program and others have allowed us to simplify our humanity respect for the improvement of transit and solve problems and insure that everyone is included for a better city on behalf of the city and county of san francisco secretary thank you hopefully, you'll be back

negative impact a different capacity with an that will continue to compliment us and as you ride our transit systems when you do get here they'll be adequately improved with a level of intelligence and smartness so that this year whereby less jams and more peanut butter . >> (clapping.) >> you could hear from the former mayor and secretary this deep commitment to equity i think reflects the ideals they've brought to the public service and really has been integrate in the work they local level with the transportation to make sure that it provides an opportunity for folks to take

part what we hope to achieve ♪ grant you heard a lot about the clorox of the regional and federal level i want to acknowledge the administrator of the transit not only leaving the fta but a career transit professional and a frequent transit rider that helps us to make the case what are the transit across the country a great partner but and the sfmta office as well and in the region the mayor made reference to a member of bart the board of directors and doctor from uc berkley two of the smarter folks in the region of the country how to make transportation better here so a lot of brain power in the room and region we work together and make that happen part of brain power from the

county of transportation authority they've lead a lot of great groundbreaking work in how to develop the brand new community in treasure island and part of the two of the projects of this grant are focused on treasure island the secretary mentioned the guidance that his administration put out with autonomous vehicles see how 24 fits on the ground of treasure island with the transportation authority under the leadership of the executive director tilly chang >> (clapping.) >> thank you so many ed and secretary fox and mayor ed lee and all of our honored guests thank you so much on behalf of the community of the transportation authority thank you to secretary fox and the mta for this grant and opportunity
