so, hopefully that helped clear things up rather than cloud it further. >> because i'm, you know, it's helpful, that's the first i've heard and i don't know if any other commissioners understand this charter amendment that we are going to be considering and looking at. i understand, and i don't know if it comes for a vote or review by this commission, but in june. right? >> it's moving through the board process. supervisors peskin, tang and new safai have associated themselves with it. it has had one reading at rules committee, the second reading is tomorrow. and then it will be before the board for consideration and it is targeted for the june 5th ballot. >> but i just want to make sure that the main purpose and we talked about it as part of the

business plan is that right now for new facilities, distribution, stuff that we can't fund through revenue bonds, we have to pay cash. and so this gives us a vehicle to debt finance using our revenue. and so we are unable to do that on any new facilities. so, that was the thinking of trying to make the power enterprise. we always had the ability for clean power, not cleanpowersf, but clean power, we have that authority already. but as barbara and they have said, we are separating the business units, or we have hechi and we want clean power to stand on its own. so we started having clean power, you know, at a really relied on the power enterprise and initiation or the start, but now we have it where it's true

and not co-dependent, so we want to continue that. >> right. >> i understand that. i just was surprised to first learn about the power revenue bonds charter amendment, you know, at a board meeting, frankly. this is the first i've had it explained. i approach -- appreciate it. >> i have a number of questions. so, basically this is a line of credit. >> yes. >> in simple terms. i'm fuzzy on the agreement terms and one area the -- where am i here -- the line of credit, i don't mean the line of credit -- where -- just a sec.

oh, the debt service ratios. why is it lower, why is it -- >> than our other enterprises? >> right. >> because we wanted the maximum flexibility that we could have for compare. >> and then for the l.o.c. fees, with the range of the percentages, 1.85, how does that co-exist with the debt service coverage? >> ok. so, depending on the debt service coverage, so, let's say we are in the middle of this agreement and barbara and mike come to me and say eric, we have a great opportunity to procure power at a low cost but they want a letter of credit to back up the commitments under the agreement, which is not uncommon. i would say ok, let me look at

our financial statements, let me look at what our debt service coverage ratio is, and if it's above 1.50 we get the best terms under the agreement and we pay j.p. morgan 1.85% to issue that letter of credit. if our ratio is below that, if it's between 125 and 150, we pay a little more. if it's above 120, we pay the higher rate. >> ok. so, is that the debt service coverage in the -- we don't have that for clean power. so that would be the power enterprise. >> it's actually clean power. that's a very good question. so, for the purposes of the agreement, any outstanding credit as well as the loan to

the power enterprise are considered debt service, that's what's being compared to the net revenues. >> ok. >> uh-huh. >> and getting back to the basic loan from the power enterprise, has clean power paid that back? >> there's a schedule of repayment and clean power has made the payments on schedule. >> and that's over how many years? >> it's a five-year loan. >> thank you. >> i have one more question. trigger and what is the estimate time you think clean power will have its own rating? >> a track record of operations, a track record of c.c.a.s growing and being successful, a number of them have approached credit rating agencies to receive credit ratings. we have talked to a number of agencies as well. they are working their arms around how to rate these

entities. i can't give you an exact answer. what i can say is the terms and conditions of this particular agreement are consistent with an investment rated enterprise. so, if we operate in these parameters, it will enhance our ability to secure ultimately an investment grade rating. >> thank you. >> i think we had a motion and second. some discussion. any public comment on this item? >> hello, 350 bay area. thanks to mr. sandler, mr. heinz, ms. hale and their work. to commissioner vietor's point and the discussion that happened, we definitely want

cleanpowersf to have its own credit rating so we can use the existing authority to issue revenue bonds versus general obligation bonds to build stuff, energy infrastructure that we keep talking about over and over. so, anything that we can do to get that credit rating, which we definitely made very clear to staff, we are supportive of and to the extent that this holding to this for a year or two might get it done, we really need that credit rating. the power enterprise does not want to take the weight -- cleanpowersf to the commission and the advocates have had for many, many, many years now. i think the question which hopefully could get elaborated a little more now is how the cash reserve covenant that was mentioned will impact local buildout. i know in the -- i can't remember the name of the financial document but kind of the allocation of revenues going

forward through i think 2022 that we had originally seen maybe last year, i know that investment in what was called supergreen projects or local build was starting i think in 2020, and we raised a bunch of heck about that at the time how we needed to get started sooner than that, based on what i just saw. it looks like the accumulation of reserves might go well beyond that, and this covenant through the early 2020s unless i would assume that excess revenue could not be diverted to such projects until after that. so, if it pleases the commission, i would think that it's useful to, to discuss how this financial agreement will impact our ability to, will positively impact our ability to build our credit worthiness, but negatively impact our timeline.

>> thank you. >> we did not have a motion or second, so can we have one, please? >> so moved. >> second. >> any other public comment? all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? next item, please. >> item 12, approve a plans and specifications and work contract number wd23 -- 2838 for amount not to exceed 5,965,300, for e the -- >> good afternoon, president kwon, commissioners. this item is before you because we have only received one bid for this construction contract, this contract is to address taste and odor issues at sunol treatment plant from local water sources. if we have negotiated with the

contractor, and it's still roughly 10% over the engineer's revised engineer estimate. we will continue to negotiate, if the commission approves this item, we do need, we actually received five contractors picked up packages. one of the contractors, one contract in sunol valley for the system, another contractor chose to bid on moccasin project, and the other contractors were nonl.b.e. and did not choose to participate. if we went out to bid again, i don't think we would get additional bidders. this project is also time critical because we have scheduled mountain tunnel shutdown for january 2019, and so we would need to get this construction substantially complete before we could do mountain tunnel shutdown for additional repairs. >> i'll move the item. >> second.

>> thank you. >> discussion, commissioners. >> i have a question. why is there such a vast difference between the original engineer's bid and the revised? >> to be honest, the consultants' estimator made a mistake and left out several items. >> any public comment on this item? ok, let's vote. all in favor? aye, opposed, next item, please. >> item 13, discussion and possible action to authorize the general manager to consent on behalf to the development agreement between the city and county of san francisco seawall lot as i relates to the matters under the jurisdiction, consent to the mission rock project interagency agreement and

seawall and monitoring and reporting program. >> good afternoon, deputy general manager. title speaks for itself. another development agreement. this is mission rock, giants, across from the stadium. it's been in the works quite a while and we would like permission to sign a development agreement. >> i'll move the item. >> second. >> discussion, commissioners? any public comment? all in favor, aye. opposed? oh, public comment? we have time. now we are all looking at you, all right. no public comment? all right. all in favor, aye. opposed, moving on to closed session. >> read items prior to calling public comment. we will hear item 16,

anticipated litigation as plaintiff. would you like to call for public comment? >> yes, public comment. for matters to be discussed during closed session. do we have anyone? ok. we have a motion on whether to assert attorney/client privilege regarding the matters listed below as conference with legal counsel. >> clarify item 17 is not being heard under closed session, so only, you are entering closed session only for item 16. item 17 is not being heard. >> move to assert. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? >> all right. >> motion not to disclose.

aye. ok. next item is item 20. other new business. anything, commissioners? >> i would just like to bring up something, it would be nice to have our, our screens working again. >> yes, it would. >> what do we have to do to make that happen? >> a hammer. >> from my understanding, i think the equipment is old and it's hard to get parts, and i think they are scheduled to put new systems in, but i don't know when. >> i can check. >> i can relate to the comments about being old. >> replacement parts are hard to come by. >> can i -- make a request? can we prepare a save the date

for the second annual golden pride event? can we do that? because still, i was speaking with colleagues, and they did not have it calendared. >> what is the date? >> second part of my two-part question. >> oh, sorry. i think it's may. >> right? >> but if we could get a save the date to distribute that, it would be kind of awesome. >> the monday before memorial day. >> i would have that information, i'm going up country to moccasin and talk about the golden pride award in the event, and so, did you go to c.d.d.? >> i'm doing that tomorrow. >> so by tomorrow you will have -- because, but yeah, i think we should send out save the dates but while you are up there, i think we should hand stuff out, because a lot of folks don't receive email. >> my hope is we will receive

some branding, if you have a conversation on some low go and, but when i was speaking with some of my colleagues, we did not have it calendared. my hope is we'll have a save the date distributed and hard cope and electronic, as a formal commission. if there's no objection. >> nope. >> no, good idea. >> perfect. >> and tomorrow we are tabling it, i think. >> yes. >> golden pride. >> are you going to be with me at c.d.d.? i think you are in a different location. >> i think i'm in southeast. >> i know. >> c.d.d. >> you are going to c.d.d., i'm going to moccasin, and just came from millbray today. >> ok. go where we are told. >> any other new business? >> thank you for your service. >> my pleasure.

[laughter] >> thank you, amy. wow. that is quite a mouthful. we'll be hearing more about those items in a few minutes. good afternoon, president brandon. vice president adams. commissioners. my name is phil williamson, senior project manager for the port of san francisco. very pleased today to be before you seeking your approval of the eight resolutions that amy just read into the record. so today i'm going to be talking and building off the

report that we provided last november to you, the informational presentation on this project. and i'll be introducing after that kind of update, since -- well, what we've accomplished since that november meeting. i'll be introducing rebecca to go over the project's finances and the deal terms and she'll be followed by adam vanderwater and carly payne from m.t.a. to respond to the questions you raised in november, neighbourhood impacts from the project. and then i'll come back at the very end to sum up and repeat what amy just went through to remind you what we're all voting on today. here's the slide that should look familiar by now. this slide will change over the next 10 years. that area outlined in pink will dramatically be altered to bring a new neighbourhood to the waterfront. over the last 11, 12 years, we've been very busy, and your

continuous support and given us so much good advice and direction to get us to this point in time and i just wanted to kind of remind you where we all started and what lies ahead over the next few months. today is an important day for you to seek approval of the transaction documents and the resolutions and recommending this project forward to the board next month in a few weeks and then following that, going to the state to seek their approval of the documents. [bell tolling] so today with good makeser and a great team, we'll build this in the next 10 years or so. so quite a lot to look forward to. and to remind everybody in the audience, i think everybody knows by heart now what the project programme envisions. i want to highlight the 40% affordable housing, which is just an amazing accomplishment that this project has as a goal and that the project team has agreed to.

we've had help from the city to achieve this goal and help from many people to get to that very, very high mark of affordable housing, spread across multiple income levels. you know, the various needs of the city on housing have been well-established and this project will go a long way to helping meet some of those needs. also eight acres of expand parks will bring the public to the site and create a very vibrant and new part of the waternraonlt will add to the port's portfolio. phase one of the project shown here in blue includes that china basin park and four development parcels. it is currently anticipated at this stage that we start construction in 2019, next year. there will be some preliminary work on site before that to improve the site, to improve the soil, conditions of the site. the first major kl*ux begin one year from now with subsequent phases to build out as market

conditions allow. and as i mentioned, becca will go into this in much greater detail. but this project has multiple funding sources and a very complex, financial picture. ultimately creating a feasible project and i just want to highlight some of the goals of the -- and the results of that financing package will be to limit developer capital to the appropriate amount, to maximize public financing, to help reduce that developer capital. and also to allow opportunities for the port to invest money in the project and earn a return. and as i opened with, as the project since november has -- the project team since november has been busy. primarily negotiating the documents for the project. but also going to some other important milestones of the promise, including submitting our major permit application to bcdc and presenting all the large documents to the state

land's commission for their review and consideration, presenting to the ballpark and coordination committee and getting feedback from that group that is in the neighbourhood that will be the subject of this project. and getting nam approval from the p.u.c. commission, the development agreement. as mentioned, negotiating numerous documents with the help of port council. at this point, i'd like becca to talk about the project's finances. >> thank you, phil. rebecca benacini. very pleased to be here, summarizing the returns all the parties. the reason we're all getting involved in this is not only to produce this wonderful neighbourhood, but also to make sure that the investments we've all made in our time and dollars will be well compensated. so i wanted to note that the developer return and investment at the site is identical to what was shown in the november 2017 informational presentation.

they're anticipated to achieve an 18% i.r.r. and you'll recall that this project has two key return threshholds for the developer, including the multiple. so, in the base case performa that we're running today, the governor of the return either the 18% or the multiple and it is 18% in the base case scenario. so they're anticipating a 18% and 1 30i8 on the multiple investment on the site. the port cash flow we segmented into a couple of different revenue streams. we showed the annual rent under senate bill 815, there is one segment, which is unrestricted, meaning we can use it for whatever we want. there is also a restricted segment and under that state law, they must be used for key policis that we have anyway, which are open space and historic preservation and shoreline. so those two revenue streams are above $600 million in nominal dollars through the

75-year term of the parcel leaves. and you'll see it is about $70 million. and then we also have other real estate-based revenues and i've included in that revenue stream, not only transfer fees and other fees we get over time from the parcel leases, but i've also included the c.f.d. special taxes, which onces the c.f.d. special taxes are used on the promise and aren't needed for the infrastructure, the port has the abilities to keep those in the district to use for other capital projects. [coughing] including any number of public facilities we might want to invest that money in. finally down below, i've included the public financing sources for shoreline so it is unique in this project and we were able to establish as well to places a special tax on new development in the site to be forward to shoreline protection going forward. the site is being raised to account for sea level rise.

but we are also anticipating there may be other improvements to be made off site or on site in the port dlaikt may not see as much growth that we have here. we can use the revenues from this growth at this site to benefit other areas of the port's shoreline that may not have access to those sorts of funding. i wanted to point out what's changed since november 2017. it's all revenue streams that weren't projected in november of 2017 because they weren't as certain. now that we've negotiated the documents, we can project with more certainty interim rents. so these are rents from ongoing use of the parking lot while development is going forward. this is interim rent from pier 48 and this is also rent from the d2 parking structure that we were able to project. so, in november 2017, when we were last before you, we were at about $60 million of all these revenue streams. now that we included all the revenue streams in the documents, we're up to $76 million.

you can see the total playing out there. the other key change is in the public financing from shoreline. this wasn't including some of the year 31 through 45 revenue streams that now that we've completed the i.f.p. and submitted it to the board for their committee's consideration, we can project those outyear tax increment revenues and through the i.f.p., if the board approves it next week, we'll have those revenue streams to use for shorelines anywhere in the port's i.f.d. district. overall it's a happy picture from where we were in november 2017 just projecting revenue streams that we now have more of an abilities to project now that the documents are complete. i want to -- oh. oh. i almost forgot about my charts. [laughter] these show the revenue streams coming in over time. many of them are growing at what appears to be a normal pace. the outlieer on this is that mountain in the middle.

the middle represents tax increments that the port is able to receive as a payback for its prepaid lease revenues that it puts into the deal. the parcel leases that are signed to the extent there is prepaid revenues that are put back into the project to repay the developer for the infrastructure, we could use tax increment in the out year to get that value back for the port. and then the second bump in that mountain is when that turns into public facility serving. at first we get our money back for putting our land value into this particular project and in the outyears, we'll be able to use that revenue for o.p.p.er needs in the port's i.f.d. that means we can use that tax increment for public facilitieses that support the ports shoreline and we use that as revenue as well.

we'll bring it back for questions and i'm sure adam and carly went go anywhere. >> good afternoon. director to beser. i'm adam van de water. you asked about our framework that we called the southern bayfront. we friended to you some time ago now back in january and may of 2016. but our office negotiates a number of development agreements both on public and private property throughout this sector. this is about a five-mile stretch of san francisco from mission creek to the brisbane border and we started this entire process some years back with the recognition that we are

negotiating a future development but recognize there are already 36,000 people who live in this shaded yellow area and about 23,000 existing employees in this area. some of whom i recognize in the audience with us here today. but on top of that, we're looking at a number of large developments. there are numerous developments that are collective and substantial. but from the mission rock project we're discussing today, through the north, chase centre and mission bay, pier 70 which we're quite familiar with and other projects that are both approved, candlestick point, executive park and then that are forthcoming at the former power point. these developments, just these nine squares will represent at full build-out of 20,000 new households, one-third of which we're aiming to have

affordable, 38,000 new jobs and the equivalent in space to golden gate park. throughout our discussions and throughout all of our development agreements, we target add number of key te thans for city-wide public benefits. those include housing affordability and i mentioned aiming for a 33% affordable rating to a variety of area of incomes, low to moderate. enhancements to transportation. we're looking to transition large parts of this neighbourhood from its industrial path to mature, complete neighbourhoods with reliable transportation. sustainability, representing leading standards for building design, site design and sustainable energy use. adapting for sea level rise and future flooding throughout this area. providing community facilities and that can be anything from schools and policen fire stations to community centres. open space, both for passive and active recreation and then

workforce development opportunity and i should say we're joined here today by a number of my colleagues from the city family, from the planning department, from the workforce side of our office and workforce development and forming the sets of approvals that are in part before you today to reach those goals. mission rock, i'm pleased to be here before you today to request the approvals working with the project sponsor, your port staff and our city departments. we've put together a very robust set of public benefits. you heard phil mention 40% affordable. this is a new high water mark for the city. a range of very moderate, median incomes.

i'll invite carly payne in a moment to talk through the transportation investment, both the site design and serving the site and the surrounding neighbourhood. we have a number of sustainability measures built into the approvals, including building energy use, vehicle trip reduction, water recycling and waste diversion. the entire site will be built to accommodate 66 inches of sea level rise plus 100-year floods and pay into the community facility's district for shoreline protection throughout the port jurisdiction. there is a route to improving the historic resource at pier 48 and to including 15,000 gross square feet of community facilities on site. we'll be expanding china basin park, creating a new park at mission rock square and channel wharf for a total of eight acres of open space on what is currently roads and parking lot and a bit of existing china basin park.

and then working with my colleagues on another robust set of workforce development projects and first source hiring administration programmes and a $1 million contribution split between the workforce site of our offices programmes and some community benefit organisations that serve the neighbourhood to really get local san franciscans working on both the construction to our city build programme, but also on end-use programmes for landscaping and building maintenance and security and other needs as the project develops. with that, i want to turn it over to carly. [please stand by]

>> and then beyond that, we

also have many, many very localized transit service improvements and bicycle and pedestrian safety and intersection improvements that are on the way, and so this is really the network that we're building off of and taking as kind of the context for the mission rock project as it's being built and when it is built. the negotiation framework for transportation within the southern bay front and as applied to the mission rock project as four components. one is site design, making sure that the project is really designed to promote walking, biking, taking transit, and not just internal to the site, but through safe and continuous connection between the site and the existing surrounding neighborhoods. and i think if you've seen the site plans for mission rock, mission rock really does that quite successfully.

the second is transportation demand management. this project has a commitment of reducing or not creating 20% of auto trips as compared to what one would assume a project like this would generate just based on our modelling and assumptions. and it does that through a set of amenities and programatic features for those taking other modes for most of their trips and it's not just that they're saying that we'll do that and we like the project team and we'll do that but there's also an ongoing compliance and monitoring program, so it's a project between the city over time to make sure that the measures in place are actually working, and if they aren't working, putting into place other measures that really might work better or reflect future technologies or options

that we haven't thought of now. the third is something that we expect from any project in san francisco, which is mitigating impact on our transportation system from the project, and so this project has things like putting in new signals at several intersections that will support pedestrians safety. and then, the last one is payment of the transportation fee. and you'll note that mission rock submitted its initial applications at a time when it wasn't subject to the current level of transportation sustainablity fee that was available in 2015, but through negotiations the project has greed to pay the full level of transportation sustainablity fee, which we're estimating 40 to $43 million over the buildout of the project.

and this is money that comes to mta for transportation improvements not on the site but beyond the site. and you may recall from conversations around pier 70 that mta has agreed to -- looking at the fees from mission rock and pier 70 together as a bundle of funds and to reinvest those fees not citywide but in the areas between mission rock and pier 70 and there's a list of representative projects that the community has identified and mta and the project have agreed are real priorities, and they generally fall along the lines of really reinforcing t-line capacity and reliablity and the operations that we're investing in, closing gap in the bicycle and walking network, bus capital improvements in the area and water transit.

and because these fees come in as -- over time as building permits are drawn, we've also committed to seeking other funds to advance these projects so that we're not waiting until the very last building permit is pulled to complete the transportation investments in this area, and so that, i think gets at some of the questions that had come up last time around transportation, but i will be here for any other questions, so i will turn it back to phil for the rest of his presentation. >> thank you, carly, thank you, adam. we're almost done. just wanted to remind you how we started out, ending approvals, and then going to the board on february 13th for the first of their two meetings to approve the project.

[ inaudible ] >> you'll be asked to approve the -- you'll be asked to consent to the city's responsibilities under the development agreement which the tuc recently unanimously approved. you'll be asked to approve the mou and the interagency cooperation agreement which is the agreement that the port will enter into with various city agencies, including the puc and dpw -- or public works, excuse me. a few more. you will be asked to recommend

that the board establish ifd project area and a special text direct. thank you. you'll be asked to approve an mou with the controller, the tax collector and the treasurer and recommend the board appoint the board as agency of the ift and the special tax district. and finally, you'll be asked to approve a ten-year interim lease for pier 48 for the continuation of today's current uses that while the port and giant seek a viable long-term use for pier 48. so that concludes my presentation and the presentation of city staff. at this time, if it pleases you, i'd like to invite up representatives of the developer, the giant, to say a few words, as well, if that's okay. so with that, can i invite jack ajack -- jack and fran up. >> the port team represented the project in what's before you, and i didn't want to go

back over that. you've heard a lot about mission rock over the years and i wanted to make my comments more general to the day, sort of almost like public comment. today represents a very important milestone that simply cannot be underestimated. the journey has been long, and there have been some detours long the way, but we have finally arrived at this very significant moment. this project is the result of a tremendous amount of thoughtful work but many dedicated people spanning more than a decade. first, it involved years of working cooperatively with neighborhood leaders and other stakeholders to formulate the land use plan and address a variety of issues from affordable housing to child care to sea level rise to transportation and so on. second, it involved leadership from mayor ed lee and his staff

at the office of economic and workforce development, and a host of other city agencies such as mta, planning, public works, puc, the contract monitoring division, and the mayor's office of housing and community development. third, it required strong leadership from executive director elaine forbes and her very committed hard working and dedicated team. fourth, it required the support and guidance of you, the members of the port commission, particularly president brandon. you've played a role in shaping this project from the very first day 11 years ago. i was there, too. finally, i'd like to acknowledge the still represented in our outstanding in-house team at the giants, and our incredible team of

designers, engineers, financial analysts, and yes, lawyers, who have been part of our giants family. this project definitely took and will continue to take a village. together, we helped craft a very meaningful and thoughtful project, balancing our many objectives in a smart, workable fashion in achieving something we can all be very, very proud of. with your support today, we can proceed to the san francisco board of supervisors and achieve the approvals needed to make this project happen. thanks for everybody's contribution. it really has been a great process, longer than perhaps we might have wanted to see, but we've resulted in a project that i think we will all be very proud of in our professional careers. thank you. >> thank you, jack, and thank you, port commissioners.
