>> good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i'd like to call this meeting to order. >> all right. thank you sfgovtv, and ladies and gentlemen, want to welcome you back to another exciting meeting of the budget and finance sub committee. my name is malia cohen. i'm the chairman of this committee, and to my right is supervisor sandy fewer. joining us shortly in this meeting will be supervisor safai. i want to thank jessie and michael for assisting us with today's broadcast. our clerk of course is the

lovely and talented miss linda wong. thank you everyone for joining us here today. madam clerk, are there any announcements? >> yes. please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. speaker cards and any documents to be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. items acted on will be on the april 16 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much. i'd like to call item number one. >> item one. [ agenda item read ] >> supervisor cohen: all right. thank you very much. supervisor peskin is the sponsor of this. i think we've got beth rubenstein here who's going to be presenting from the department of public works, and i don't know if julia dawson is going to be here, as well. >> i'm here. >> supervisor cohen: all

right. this item is a 240 day extension from jc decaux from public kiosk. thank you. the floor is yours. good morning. >> good morning, chairman cohen. we're here toed to ask for an extension. what we've been doing recently we ended up in a review at the historic preservation commission and they asked us to step back and do some design evaluation. as a result of that we brought on beth reubenstein to help with the design process, and it's actually been going well, so i'd like her to come up and talk about what we've been doing with the design of the toilets and kiosks. >> supervisor cohen: great. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. thanks for hearing this item. so last year sort of late spring summer and fall jc decaux had an initial sort of

draft design that moved through historic preservation and also the arts commission specific design and review, and they reviewed it and it got stopped. they were concerned about i would say the utilitarian nature of the design. it didn't have the uniqueness and flair that we would hope for an important san francisco assets. these kiosks and toilets will be on the street for the next ten to 20 years. we wanted to step back and balance this contract that's really been beneficial for the city so we'd like to get that contract completed as soon as possible. we'd also like the toilets and kiosks to be as beautiful a possible. >> supervisor cohen: we got it. this is just an extension of the contract. supervisor fewer, any remarks? >> supervisor fewer: no. i think they're lovely and i

just want one in my neighborhood. >> and we talked. >> supervisor cohen: all right. well thank you for the presentation. let's go to public comment. if there's any member of the public that would like to comment on item number one, seeing none public comment is closed. all right colleagues is there a motion? >> supervisor fewer: yes i'd like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor cohen: all right. we'll take that without objection. thank you. madam clerk, could you do us a favor and call items two, three, and four together. >> clerk: yes. [ agenda items two, three, and four read ]

>> supervisor cohen: all right. so before us we have three resolutions for concession stand leases in the international terminal in sfo. the best part about all of this is the combined leases will bring a minimum of $9.7 million in revenue to the city and county of san francisco and we've got our friend cassy widener from the airport to tell us all about it. >> good morning, chair cohen. >> supervisor cohen: good morning. >> cathy windenerdener for the san francisco airport. we are asking for three new leases in the international terminal a with sfp america for a manufacture food haul black point coffee and boudin bakery. the length of time for the sfp

america and boudin lease is ten years, and the black point coffee is eight years. all three leases have a ten year option to extend and are the result of a competitive proposal process. the leasees will pay rent either the greater of their minimum annual guarantee fore a tiered percentage rent formula. this will result in an annual rent amount over the initial term for all three leases of $9,570,000 at a minimum, although airport staff does expect that the leases will be paying on the higher of the percentage rent formula. the rent commencement date for each of the leases is either the earlier of the completion of construction of tenant improvements or 120 days after the tenant occupies the lease space. the budget analyst's office has reviewed and recommends approval and i would be happy toer answer any questions. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i don't think we have any questions at this time -- oh,

excuse me supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: just in general, and i understand i'm just sitting on the committee today, but i have a question. i look at the name of the people that apply. a lot of them are smaller cafes in san francisco but when i get briefed from a budget and legislative analyst it's always the larger businesses per se. you don't often see a small local san francisco based company that's often being chosen, so i'm wondering how you're putting your bids together and what kind of effort you're making to ensure the smaller mom and pops are really having a shot at san francisco airport. >> there are a couple of ways that we do that and i'd be happy to get you further background but just to answer your question generally, there are cases in this -- in this lease right here the lease with sfp does actually have a small business component.

they partnered with marina's cafe who will be operating as part of this lease. i believe it's 35% so there are opportunities for partnering. airport staff goes out into the community to try to get folks interested and we set the annual guarantees purposely low -- >> supervisor safai: i guess i'm asking a different question. i know in the ferry building once someone is a really established business they're no longer allowed to be part of the lease. so when i say cafe roamma on your scoring system score 56 points and i see sfp scoring at 102, what i'm saying is how are you putting together your packaging in terms of your scoring; and two, do you ever consider not allowing some of these already established businesses that have locations all over san francisco and allowing some of the smaller mom and pop businesses an avenue to get a

foothold. because once you're in san francisco airport that is a pretty lucrative opportunity so that's what i'm asking. >> i can get more detailed information to you because i know that our revenue development staff does look into that and takes it seriously. we have pop up opportunities at the airport as well which has a $250,000 gross revenue requirement, which is low. >> supervisor safai: i get it. >> so we do try and do that but i'll try and get you further information on outreach. >> supervisor safai: i'm fine and i'm prepared to let this go. what i'm saying is when i'm in san francisco airport, i don't see it. i see businesses that are well established and they're all over san francisco and i don't see mom and pop shops get that opportunity. that's what i'm saying. >> okay. thank you. i'll pass that along. >> supervisor cohen: all right. at this time i want to pivot and hear from our budget legislative analyst and hear what their thoughts are on these three items. good morning. >> good morning. i'm from the budget and legislative analyst's office.

i think miss widener has summarized the leases pretty thoroughly. as you hear the first year guaranteed rent to the airport would be about 990,000. it would be about $9.6 million over the term of each of the leases and they do a percentage rent which would be higher than that amount and we recommend that approval. >> supervisor cohen: all right. thank you. we'll take that recommendation under advisement. at this time let's go ahead and open up the public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment on items two, three or four please come up. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. i'd like to make a motion to approve these three items and send to the full board with a positive recommendation and it looks like i can do that without objection. thank you ladies and gentlemen. next item

that's what i thought. okay. let's hear from the budget legislative analyst has to say. >> yes. as his alicemiss alice pointed out, these are the same that the board approved its two year fixed but jet in the last budget cycle. it's not in the report but i will respond a little bit to what was said in terms of the controller's office hoping to have more two year fixed budgets going forward. we did say two years ago in our report that we considered it important for the board not to give up their appropriation authority and budget review every year. that was our finding two years ago. in terms of the four budgets

this year they are the same as the last two years and we do consider this a policy matter. >> supervisor cohen: okay. are there any questions? no. okay. >> i would only add that there's nothing -- the board is not giving up any of their approval appropriation authority or review -- authority to review or appropriate a budget when you review two year budgets. so i think that's the substantive discussion or argument that we can have but this doesn't do anything to change what comes before the board or how you may choose to review it. >> supervisor cohen: absolutely. i also want to remind that these are also the same departments as adopted in 16-17, 17-18, so we've got a track record established. i'd like to open up the public comment at this time. my member of the public to come in and speak on item five? seeing none public comment is closed. thank you. i'd like to make a motion to

send this approved to the full board with a positive recommendation and we can take that without objection. >> clerk: madam chair, would you like to send it as a committee report? >> supervisor cohen: i'll send it as a committee report. we can do that without objection. thank you very much. and colleagues, before we dismiss, i would like to make a motion to excuse supervisor stefani from attending today's meeting. can we take that without objection? all right. without objection. is there any other business before this body? >> clerk: there's no other business. >> supervisor cohen: all right. ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned.

>> this lodge is home to some of

the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools don't have fish. this is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. ith was built in the 1930's and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. every year the world championship of fly casting is held in san francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. >> we are here with phil, general manage of san francisco rec and parks department at the anglers lodge. what do you think about this? >> it is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. >> there are people from all over the world come to san francisco and say this is the place to be. >> yeah.

it's amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today and they are thrilled. >> i flew from ireland to be here. and been practicing since for the competition. all the best casters in the world come here. my fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland scotland norway, japan, russia each year the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next, we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do.

golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the 9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice.

i met someone else with real fly casting skills. her name is donna and she is an international fly casting champion. >> i have competed in the casting ponds in golden gate park in san francisco. i have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. i spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. it's a great place to learn and have fun. on a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. i find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. takes me out into the nature. almost like drawing art in the air. and then i can make these beautiful loops out there. >> even though people from across the globe come here to compete, it's still a place

where locals in the know relax and enjoy some rely unique scenery. until next time get out and play!

>> third thursdays at the commons is a monthly event series to really activate krisk centerkrisk -- civic center, fulton mall, and other locations through social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also third thursdays will have music. that was really important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good

music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players and drummers. >> we turned uc center and fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food wine cocktails, and the idea again is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is you know one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design this was meant to be this way. it's really special.

>> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food interesting music, and then we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up
