as a result more interesting and can't get that of minor or anywhere else and san francisco a hot bed for local manufacturing in support that is what keeps your city vibrant we'll make a compelling place to live and visit i think that local business is the lifeblood of san francisco and a vibrant community up early to watch this, we thank you. we know that this will be played at subsequent times for others to be able to see what we are doing here. okay. also, the president is going to
11:01 pm
join us. she's the -- a commissioner of this committee. >> this is to address the infrastructure and transportation and that do not appear on the agenda. in addition to public comment, public comment will be held on each item on the agenda. >> there northeast public comment. >> i'm no. 3, consent agenda. all matters listed here under a constituted consent agenda are considered to be routine by the committee and will be acted on by a single vote of the committee. there will be no separate vote unless the member of the committee suggests and it will be removed from the consent agenda and considered as a separate item. item 3a, approving the minutes of the meeting.
11:02 pm
>> i move for the approval. >> i second the motion. >> item no. 4, environmental program support. >> thank you, chair richardson, director and president tsen. this item will go to the board as an action item. i wanted to have a conversation here before taking it there because we kind of have two different paths going forward ahead of us. we have a contract with lang engineering environmental to provide environmental conservation services to tida to monitor the navy's environmental program, and we brought them on in 2013. this is a selection process that
11:03 pm
actually had been contacted before i arrived to tida. they replaced amec engineering and infrastructure. the contract was original term of three years with two one-year optional extensions. a contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this fiscal year. i wanted to bring it to the board to discuss whether to issue a new rfq for the remainder of the navy's environmental work or to modify the existing contract through the projected remaining four years of the work. bringing in now for discussion and board action because if we're going to issue a new rfq,
11:04 pm
we need to do so propermptly. so they do attempt the navy's base closure meetings. we attend the monthly meetings between the navy and the state regulators. it's also attended typically on the phone by sfpuc and other city agencies that do work on the island. they review and comment and advise tida on the navy's proposed work plans and other documents for the environmental program. they've also been invaluable in 20 2014. 2015, we had a lot of meetings to discuss the navy's environmental program. they assisted in both planning for those meetings and presenting materials, as well as in working with city agencies,
11:05 pm
particularly sfpuc to help establish standard work practices on the island where the navy has either not completed their environmental work or where they have completed their work but they are land use controls. the land use controls we have on the island are primarily related to hydrocarbons in ground water where they've been remediated to such an extent that there's no longer a risk to off-gassing or other associated concerns, but they haven't been able to get 100% of the material out of the soil. and those are really standard ppe, personal protective
11:06 pm
equipment, criteria that are required in some of those circumstances. the environmental consultant has also been preparing a site management plan for tida, which is basically our program maintenance for doing annual and five-year reviews of ground water and other environmental conditions. those are eventually requirements which may sunset as long as we can send you to see that there's no rebound in ground water samples or soil-gas monitoring. also, there are physical repairs like the repair of the former skeet shooting area in clipper cove where they armored the bottom of the cove, and that has to be resurveyed every five or
11:07 pm
ten years along with a survey of the bottom of the cove. they also assist us in preparing reports and supplemental technical information. in terms of the overall status of the program, we had our presentation last november's board meeting by the name of clark from the navy, but kind of the guiding document that's updated annually by the navy is their site management plan and the 2017 version of the site management plan anticipates the closure of the last site, site 12, in 2021. so we've got about four more years of work to do through the final transfer. this map shows the open sites that the navy has. however, the majority of the work or the work has been completed on the majority of
11:08 pm
these sites. so the first group of sites, 30, 31, 30 north, 30 south, the has been issued and -- the foist has been issued and there should be a final fost issued within a week or two. also, the developer, tidc has been preparing for this so we can move forward early next month. in site 24, this was a former dry cleaning facility. the navy has completed their field work, which is a biological process of the chemicals and soil gas and ground water results from the completion of that biological process, which we anticipate
11:09 pm
will happen before the end of this year. we should be able to transfer site 24 early next year. and then site 6 and 32 are areas where the navy has completed their work, but they anticipate or have requested to continue to hold that property until they have completed their work in site 12 because it's both a logistical lay-down area and a means of removing soil from site 12 without driving through the residential area. so they've requested to delay those transfers until the end of 2020 when the bulk of field work in site 12 should be complete. and site 2 is just waste water transportation plant. that site doesn't have any ongoing work, but the schedule
11:10 pm
of that is tied to our schedule for developing new waste water plant rather than the navy's remediation efforts. so, again, in site 6 and 32, we'll need to do a finding of suitability to transfer prior to those properties transferring, but not a lot of technical work going on. it's really within site 12 where the bulk of the navy's efforts will continue to be for the next several years. and an area where retaining the experience, knowledge could be quite beneficial to us. so in site 12, there are both circla, which are the chemical clean-up projects that are ongoing, as well as radiological investigation, which covers the entirety of site 12.
11:11 pm
on this flowchart from the site management plan, it came out a little fuzzy, but the areas in green are the scopes of work that the navy has completed on the right-hand side underneath the yellow header is the continuation of their chemical clean-up. and then on the left-hand side is their clean-up of radiologically impacted areas, particularly the swedas, the solid waste disposal areas. and then in the center of the page is the radiological work plan. so we've discussed that the bulk of the radiological materials in site 12 were believed to have been disposed of in the solid waste disposal areas and then
11:12 pm
through the process of grading prior to the consideration of the housing, few items were moved into other areas. so this process in the middle is the process the navy will have to go through to develop a work plan record of decision to gain state concurrents that they have satisfactorily explored outside the solid waste disposal areas. in terms of the navy's schedule as embodied in the site management plan, the continued chemical clean-up outside of the swda areas is going to mobilize this year, in the spring, and run for 14 months to complete into the spring of 2016. the feasibility study for the
11:13 pm
areas outside of the swdas is expected to be issued before the end of this year with the goal of achieving a record of decision in 2019. that will entail a lot of back and forth with particularly the california department of public health which has oversight of the navy's radiological programs. that record of decision will determine the nature and extent of the additional radiological field work that is required to close out site 12. and then the final solid waste disposal area, the bulk of expense that the navy will have as well as physical excavation is the solid waste disposal at west side, which is on the right-hand side of the photograph of site 12 there. that work is anticipated to
11:14 pm
remobilize at the end of this calendar year and continue into 2020. so the recommendation that i propose to take to the board next month would be to extend the lang contracts through 2022 rather than issuing a new rfp. and that continuity will be important in updating and maintaining our site management plan as additional remediation sites are closed and transferred to us. but, also, in reviewing and commenting on the navy's circla documents and site plan for site 12 -- work plan for site 12, there's been a lot of work with the department of public health over the last four years and the navy, and lang has been at the table for the parties with those communications. as we work forward to ensure
11:15 pm
that our interests in making sure that site 12 is cleaned up, i think it's important for us to reta retain langan until that period, but i welcome conversation. >> thank you very much for that assessment. questions and comments by commissioners? >> i would certainly agree with your recommendation. i think that the overview of what we've done with the environmental program shows how much progress has been done in these past few years, and we'll, finally, after all these years, come to the final phase of remediation for treasure island. it's so important, i think, for there to be continuity, particularly because it's a very complicated program, and it's a
11:16 pm
very critical point as we come to these final remediation and the transfer of those properties so i would agree with your recommendation. i think our top priority is about public health and public safety. and there cannot be any drop with that oversight. so i would certainly concur with your recommendation. >> i would like to add some comment. you know, i think there are merits to extending the contract. given all the arguments you laid out, familiarity of these sites in question and the historical knowledge is definitely something that we need to take
11:17 pm
into consideration. so the question that i have is that by retaining this contract, are we gaining time to expedite the transfer? i'm looking at your date here, that site 12, in particular, you're looking at 2019. so that will boost that calendar. >> this won't necessary cause the navy's schedule to be accelerated, but i think as we work with the navy and the department of public health on the work plan for site 12 for city is so secure free release
11:18 pm
for the area in site 12. we have agreements with the navy to guard against or to protect our interests in the event that the navy either is unable to or elects not to pursue the work sufficient to secure a free release from california department of public health. and under the edcoma, we're not required to take any land from the navy that does not have free release. so essentially, failure to achieve that would be a reopener of the conveyance agreement with the navy. secondarily, the edcoma contains provisions that if they're not
11:19 pm
able to accrue free release of site 12 since a portion of the residential area is intended to be constructed in a portion of site 12, that we could actually reconfigure the program to relocate housing that would otherwise have been located within site 12 to the area on the east side of the island that's currently proposed to be sports fields. that would trigger -- there would be some additional supplemental environmental work. under the edcoma, is navy would be required to compensate tida for those costs. however, that would be a significant impact to the city. so what our interests are, are ensuring the navy take the
11:20 pm
measures that are sufficient to gain free release from the state and to clean up site 12. so i think that's not so much that we're looking to accelerate the schedule, but we're intending to ensure that we achieve certain outcomes, and the failure to achieve those outcomes would have a significant delay on the development side of things. so it's really about ensuring that the navy adheres to the schedule that they've set forward and achieves the outcomes they've committed to in the edcoma. >> so i presume you will calendar this before the general board for the discussion and approval in the next couple of weeks? >> yeah. i plan to have this on the february agenda. >> okay. are there any public comment? seeing none. thank you.
11:21 pm
>> item no. 5, the pageant of the pacific murals. >> there's been a lot of discussion about the murals. in public comment, they're certainly well known and well regarded. peter somerdale on our staff managers our consultant contract for the storage and preservation of the murals as well as being a liaison with entities that have requested to borrow the murals in the past. so he has a great deal of history on the murals, and i thought it would be good to present it here, not only for the members of the committee but now that we're being recorded,
11:22 pm
this will be a resource that people can access online to see this discussion of the murals. so with that, i will turn it over to peter somerville. >> give me one second here.
11:23 pm
all right.
11:24 pm
sorry about that. for the record, peter somerville, here to provide you with an overview, like bob said, of the history of the cover murals. to be quick, about a artist himself. he was a noted mexican painter. illustrator of the mid- to 20th century. enjoyed early success in america doing car rickures in the new yorker. he continued through the '20s, '30s, '40s, and up to his death in the '60s. he played an important role in the establishment of the mexican national dance program. so you will see a lot of his various interests reflected in the murals themselves.
11:25 pm
the murals themselves, he expected a commission to create a set of maps of the pacific region that would be displayed. each of the murals is actually an assembly of specific panels. there were six overall, four of which are 12 panels each, 16 feet by 24 feet, and two of which are four panels each, 9 feet by 14 feet. i thought this was an interesting quote from the ggie at the time of his letter, soliciting covarrubias that gives you an idea of why he was of such interest to this project. the next few slides show images of the murals themselves.
11:26 pm
the murals hung at pacific house until the fair closed in 1940, at which point they were loaned to the museum of natural history in new york where they remained viewable until 1953 at which time they were placed into storage. they attempted to gift them to the museum, but the museum could not promise they would be displayed permanently in the museum. so at such point, they were returned to san francisco in the late 1950s. the board accepted five of the murals and installed them in public display. you will note that six murals went and five came back. there is the sixth mural, art
11:27 pm
forms of the pacific, 12 panels, 16 feet by 24 feet that was not in the set when the murals were returned from new york to san francisco. so only five of the murals were received and installed, and only five, thus, are with tida today. there's research done by interested citizens into this potential whereabouts of the missing mural. it is still kind of a mystery that continues today, but at this point, unfortunately, it is somewhat of a cold trail. we hold out hope that stranger things have happened and we will reunite this mural with the set. it's important to note that he created six and the collection owned by tida is only five murals. 2001, the ferry buildings renovation removed the space where the murals to be installed. they were of overwhelming size
11:28 pm
jurisdiction was transferred to tida by way of transfer agreement by the board of directors in 2001. this was agreeable to both sides. they agreed their redisplay to the public entity. the port was unable to find a location either at the port authority. the tida support staff decided to take possession. they were transferred to storage on treasure island in late 2001. the san francisco fine arts museum approached tida with a proposal to loan the murals to the mexican government. they promised to provide registration store station --
11:29 pm
restoration. cost for the conservation and restoration were paid by both a grant from the charles d. and francis field fund to the fine arts museum of san francisco as well as funding by the mexican government itself as well as the technical expertise for the restoration. this loan agreement between tida and the government of mexico was approved by the tida board on may 11th, 2005. at that time, the murals were transported to mexico. their conservation and restoration work was performed in mexico. supervision provided by tida. conservation and restoration work included removal of the smoke and grime and fingerprints and other human damage as well as touch-up work to the coloring
11:30 pm
and paint to certain panels. restoration work performed in mexico was performed by mexican technicians. this was a major source of pride for mexico at the time, considering his standing. after the restoration, this took place between 2006 and 2008, including displays in mexico city, pubela and finally at the 2007 event hosted by mexico and monterey. the next few slides are pictures of these exhibits. again, they give you an idea of the size of the murals and the considerations for display.
11:31 pm
backup to give an example. this shows one of the largest murals against the smaller murals. economy at 16 by 24 feet. excuse me. the one on the left is economy, and the one on the left is transportation at 9 by 13 feet. so you get a sense of the size of both murals. one of the murals, upon completion of the mexican exhibit was requested by fine arts museum for a temporary loan. tida enter into this agreement for ongoing display of the murals. the murals are currently on display, and this loan agreement has been extended annually by the tida board since 2008. staff tends to bring this year's extense for the approval at the february meeting.
11:32 pm
additional loans and exhibition. loans on display in mexico generated new interest in the work. loan agreements were enter into for display of the murals. one mural was sent to washington, dc as part of an exhibit on world's fair design. in 2011, three of the murals were displayed as part of the festival in 2007. the camm executed covarrubias. at the top, it's the city hall and at the bottom, the national museum. remaining four murals, by which i mean the four not on display
11:33 pm
at the young museum are currently stored by a tida contract and are handled at an off-site climate controlled facility. they notate all the conservation and restoration work at the time of today. in 2016 and 2017, tida contracted for high resolution condition report photography of panels front and back. so we now have both reports stating their previous work and their existing conditions as well as photographs of those as well. the future of the murals is still being determined. prior exhibitions have been conditioned due to their status as fine art that need to be considered for an appropriate display environment.
11:34 pm
some of those are listed here on the slide. mainly, they consist of appropriate temperature control, appropriate humidity control, lighting not to exceed certain specifications with a particular emphasis on keeping direct exposure of light off the murals, as well as basic protective measures to keep an enthusiastic public from touching it, spilling food on it, or otherwise creating human-induced damages. that brings me to the end of my presentation, and i would be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, peter, for that presentation. i'm sure we have questions. >> thank you, peter. the murals, where were they originally displayed? were they in building one or in different exhibition halls at
11:35 pm
the fair? >> they were originally displayed all together at pacific house, which was one of the buildings, pavilions of the fair that's no longer there. itis longer on the island. it was a variety of organizations and entities that sponsor buildings at the fair, so the murals themselves were at pacific house, which was one of those buildings, with the emphasis -- basically, the whole fair was the pacific region, but the pacific house was focused on that as well. >> well, they're wonderful. it's part of the history of treasure island. i'm glad to see that we're taking care of the murals and making sure that they're being preserved in a way that they can be viewed in the future as well. >> thank you, peter. just some few questions i have. so someone, somewhere in the world is holding on to the art
11:36 pm
form of the pacific. so i presume that tida or the city has conveyed to all the museums in the world that this piece is missing. it might show up. who knows? because that's the nature of these things. do we have such a plan, if it shows up, for people to be on the lookout for it? it would be great to know this piece is out there, we presume, right? >> through our partners at the fine arts museum and the arts commission, certainly there's an awareness that hopefully this mural is somewhere. certainly -- how would i say this? it's been such a long awareness for so long that there's probably one of two possibilities -- well, there's one of three possibilities.
11:37 pm
i think the worst is it fell off a ship somewhere and is at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. we always assume that if it is still somewhere, that someone has it and they know exactly what they have, and because of that, they're not interested in advertising it or sharing it or it is somewhere unknown what it is. so through fine arts museum, through the arts commission, through several interested public -- excuse me. private citizens in san francisco, there's been a lot of legwork done, to, just to extend the paper trail or chase down what happened to it between new york and san francisco. unfortunately, a lot of those efforts have been unsuccessful, but it is certainly known in the art world. it is certainly a known mystery, and it's our hope that if the murals did surface one day, we would be able to reunite them all. but, realistically, like i said,
11:38 pm
if someone has it and knows what they have privately, they're hanging onto it for a specific reason. it's hard to go out around the world and make sure everyone knows we have this. we do everything to enforce that fact that we're looking for it and want to reunite them at any chance we get. >> you already said there's tremendous public interest on this particular artist. he's world renown. it's important that we have it planned for exhibition, storage. i'm wondering, again, just to throw it out there, we have this substantial amount of money that we're going to be spending to purchase and bring arts to the
11:39 pm
island. somehow, we need to have a program for this particular piece of work that generates international interest, as it has already. just something i want to throw out there. at some point, it's going to be part and parcel of the landscape of treasure island. >> question. peter, how much is it costing us to store and conserve the panels that we have? on an annual basis? >> the storage costs, we have them stored along with the treasure island museum collection items that were gifted to tida from the navy five, seven years back. probably the annual yearly costs for all of that storage -- i don't have it immediately in front of me, but it's under $8,000. that's for all the murals,
11:40 pm
crates, and all the packaged items from the museum's collection. considering the works, considering the jobs that our art handler does, that's a very reasonable yearly amount. >> i think the hope is that they will eventually be unveiled either on a permanent or a temporary basis so that people can certainly see. is there some sort of interest by the treasure island museum group? >> just to touch on your first point, yes, we're all in agreement that ultimately the panels -- the public is much better served by the murals being out on display rather than in crates, so we continue to make sure that appropriate entities interested in borrowing the murals for exhibitions know that we're willing to work with them. like i showed earlier, we have done several exhibits in the past, and we are, obviously, open to accepting proposals for additional appropriate loans
11:41 pm
down the line. the treasure island museum, i know that they have certainly expressed interest in support for finding a permanent home on the island for the murals. i don't know, again, based on the size, if the actual kind of museum facility, whatever shape that may take, is ultimately where the murals will be housed. bob can speak of this more. as we're getting into assessing the buildings, one, two, and three, for uses, some of the environmental conditions necessary for displaying the murals will be considered as we're looking at the improvements and changes to those buildings with a potential eye for installing them in one or two of those buildings. >> one of the things that we're working on is an rfq for an architectural and engineering services with emphasis on
11:42 pm
preservati preservation architect to assist us in doing an assessment of several of the historical buildings, notably buildings one, two, three, and the torpedo building, so assess what will be required to continue the life of those from a seismic perspective, the just of replacing windows in building one, for example, will be a significant expense. so from a seismic preservation and also from an access perspective, building one has never had elevator access above the second floor. so we'll have to figure out how we'll get to the third and fourth floors with elevator access. as part of that, we would also include an assessment of what it
11:43 pm
would take to environmentally control some of those buildings, as they're currently all steam-heated to the extent they're heated at all and naturally ventilated. this will require some environmental control as well as potentially some natural lighting control. so that will be one of the aspects going forward, given these historic buildings, because of their size, give us the ability to display the pieces as a collection. the other alternative would be to display one or more of them in separate locations or on a rotating basis, but that's going to be part of our evaluation for our historic buildings in particular as we move forward. >> excellent. >> so, lastly, so we have five remaining and four that's on the
11:44 pm
tida. so the other one is at the deyoung museum. originally, you mentioned there were six. >> correct. so covarrubias painted six. tida took five from the port with the art mural, the missing mural. four of them are currently in storage. the fifth is on display at the deyoung on temporary loan. >> okay. thank you so much. >> i think i will just add that the deyoung loan is temporary and ongoing. they do understand that we do have a vision down the line for installing all five on treasure island. so there's an understanding for both parties, though it has been a beneficial long-term loan, we hope to have a date where we'll ask to take that mural back from the deyoung because we'll be putting all five up on the island. >> it's great that they're sharing it with the public and taking care of it. if we could give the rest of
11:45 pm
them to restore -- >> i know if they had more wall space, they would like to put up more. >> thank you for that excellent work. you will keep us posted. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> item no. 6, discussion of future agenda items by directors. >> none at this point. >> as i mentioned at the board meeting last week, i think the march meeting will come with an update on the waste water planning and our progress there, but we'll also be flushing out an agenda for february. >> thank you. any public comment? seeing none, thank you, everyone. >> adjourned.
11:46 pm
>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides
11:47 pm
wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of
11:48 pm
supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life
11:49 pm
and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about
11:50 pm
handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are
11:51 pm
going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding
11:52 pm
gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that all right. on
