there, we have 24 of our existing residents in that program, and a number of our existing households are hud vash households, so they already have va case management, but we will be bringing more services to the property, and we're still working on that. but there is a 25:1 case manager to resident ratio in the hut vas 1h, at least initially, and we have a 25:1 ratio for the work that we do ourselves. >> okay. and it sounds like the va related services are provided by sources to plow share. are there other services that would be provided by other entities? >> no, not at this site. there will be hud vash case workers. we have space for them to meet with residents on-site.

we provide -- we sort of hold the clinical envelope for the island. we have the program manager -- we're there 24-7, our staff are on call 24-7. the va is there during business hours. it works well together the partnership. >> that sounds great. i'm certainly very supportive of any supportive services that you can build into the program. it's critically important to the success of this development to have on-site services and case managers and space to that for even just group recvational type of uses. i'm sure you're working on that as you have in the past on other projects. i do have a question for staff, i think i saw in the lease that it said the use is specifically for housing, so is it okay that we don't also specifically

mention the for services, and is that consistent, like, fine with the d for d? >> yeah, it is consistent with the d for d. i'll take another look at the language, but i think the services would be consideredneconsidere considered ancillary to the housing, but i'll take a look at that. >> okay. and one question about the rents. does that commence at the execution of the option agreement or at the actual start of those -- i guess i don't know when -- >> on occupancy. >> on occupancy? okay. >> yeah. >> okay. thank you. >> yes, mike. [ inaudible ] >> let me just say that i am so pleased to have you here today. this is just the first formal action that we've taken on a

specific project, and it is the start of the affordable housing project that will go on on treasure island, so we're really pleased to see you, and it is this vision of permanently affordable housing, not in the private market. it's done by nonprofits, and -- and that collaboration between source to "politico" share and the chinatown community development center, i know that you've done great projects before at 1510 2id s. we just had a great breaking in mission way, and i think that's an example of a collaboration between two nonprofits, one which provides the great social services, the other provides the housing development capablities, and it's the type of collaboration that we would like to see. so i would also like to say that this is an important site because it's going to be the first development together with the other one which mercy will

be doing, which will be on a very important street for treasure island. it's the shared street, which is a concept which all of our urban design and our architects and our staff really fought to have, and we want to ensure its success, and the way that it's going to be successful is if there's active uses along that street. so we are very interested in the design. you've got a great architectural team. methune and solomon are one of the best architects of housing, affordable, but we want to hear what those ideas are and make sure that you come back to us as you develop those design concepts and the concepts for the project because we can give you our insight. but very, very pleased to have you today. before we take action on the

board, i would like to open it up to the public. are there any members of the public who would like to address the board. >> hi. i'm sherry williams with one treasure island. source to plow shares is one of our charter members, and let me just echo some of your statements about how wonderful -- this is really a milestone. when you're doing this work for decades, and you finally see site control for affordable housing that serves veterans, i just think we should take a moment and really celebrate it because it is exactly what we've all been working towards for such a long time. they've provided hundreds of people already on treasure island a place to heal. one of the things that we always thought as one of our key members was that, you know, treasure island being a former military base, folks that had been trained for war and sent to war now have a place to come back to heal and rebuild their lives, and they've been in the process of rebuilding hundreds of people's lives since they've

been operating their housing on treasure island, and now they're going to be doing it in a permanent new development, the very first affordable on the island, and i'm just so happy to see this come to fruition, and of course we'renthusiastically supporting this action. >> any others. >> thank you for listening today. my concern is there's not enough room for the veterans housing for people with families. there's only one or two bedrooms available for people in the current existing state, so from what i understood, it was targeted towards older people, but there's no room for families. like, i mean, i have two children right now. i live in a -- i live in a two-bedroom home on chanette court, and it's not enough,

because i probably want to have another child, i want to be stable, i want to have somewhere for me to grow into, and right now all they're concerned about is people that are -- in a senior state or they're developmentally disabled or there's something going on, not really developmentally. but they've been maybe i n inoculated with something, so for seniors, but not with families. so if there's a space that could be made for active veterans that have maybe a family of three or more. even if it's just a very small percentage, like, 10% that's available for families that need at least three bedrooms. so if i have three children as a female, i can't live in a two bedroom and a big closet. i need at least a three bedroom

and a front room so i can sleep in the front room and the children can have their space. so i'd like for you to consider maybe expanding on what you currently have made, and then make it better. thank you. >> let me just say that we have a broad housing program, and the fact is affordable housing that will be for families, as well. that is certainly the -- there's -- there's different groups that do different types of housing, and certainly, there will be one. thank you. are there any other comments? yeah, no, i'm sorry. we have a motion -- we have a motion and a second. all those in favor, say aye. all those opposed. the ayes have it. thank you. next item, please. >> item number nine, resident relocation advisory consultations update.

>> so while we're waiting for the powerpoint to come up, we provided an update last month, and we -- following the -- the open house that we'd had on january 20th, and today, i wanted to give you an update on the progress that -- that arws has made in -- you know, in engaging with existing residents on consultations on what their benefits are and what their options will be in the future. so although we're about four years away from our -- from the project that we -- we just discussed being ready for occupancy, we do want to start the process of engaging the pre-dda market rate households in the discussion about what their rights and benefits are

so that we can -- we can inform the construction of our affordable projects as they come forward. so we had the january community meeting. we've been conducting the household interviews and our intention is may-june of this year to be issuing letters of eligiblity to residents. as i mentioned at the -- previously at our open house, out of our roughly 200 potentially eligible households, we had 155 residents representing 113 eligible households attend in the breakdown of those households, we have some households that hold section 8 vouc vouchers, and so they will automatically be qualified to take affordable units as we build them, and then 170% potentially over income

households for which we'll need to build transition units, as well, although some of them maybe will qualify for affordable units, and part of what we're hoping to learn through these discussions with residents. so as of last saturday, arws had completed 94 interviewed, so not quite half of the pre-dda households, and they have an additional 18 scheduled for saturday, the 23rd, or saturday, the 24th. and we did have -- we had 11 no shows or missed appointments, and follow up with those households, as well as reaching out to other households to sign up. we originally were taking appointments on tuesdays, fridays, and saturdays, but the demand has been overwhelmingly for saturdays, so that's what

we're focused on now, and we plan to continue the consultations through the end of april. so now, part of our communication will be where it had been more open-ended, we're really trying to get people in by the end of april and following up with phone calls and door knocking to get people engaged. and if necessary, conduct the -- the conversation in -- in the resident's households. and as i mentioned, it -- following -- after the interviews, we plan to send letters to each of the participating households summarizing our kind of joint understanding of household status, eligiblity and benefit options so that we have, you know, a clear record of at this moment in time where -- where households stand for both the households and for our records. the -- some of the feedback that -- or things that we've learned through the interviews

we've had to date, there is a great interest in home ownership opportunities with more than 60% of households indicating an interest in home ownership which could either be market rate or inclusionary for sale affordable home ownership. some -- some interest, roughly one in eight, have expressed an interest in the in lieu payment, and asked about when that benefit might become available. and then, there's been some discussions about the complexities of urban housing options, some interest from multifamily households in splitting households at some point, rather than remaining roommates in perpetuity. and then also some discussion

in how changes of number of household members affects the size of the tran transitioning unit that would be offered to a household. i'll go into a little more depth on the first three of those, just kind of highlighting some issues that we're evaluating and may come back down the road for additional discussion with board members on. in the home ownership area, one treasure island had been in discussion to plan a home buyer workshop. originally they were looking at january but with us initiating this process, they had scheduled that out to may, so this is a first time home buyers' workshop that's open to all households, pre-dda, post-dda or tidi households, one treasure island households, so help inform them of what it

will take to qualify to buy a home and to help them with some of the financial planning and some of the other aspects of that. as you see here, it's a three-part workshop series, but in addition, we're working with san francisco housing development corporation to have an april meeting in advance of those, particularly, again, trying to target those pre-dda villages households to give them additional information on the down payment assistance benefits that are available under the thr and r's and also give them more understanding of the income certification requirements to qualify for an inclusionary affordable unit. on the in lieu opportunities, the -- when the thr and res

were being drafted back in 2010, the public comment that was taken in through that process led us to have an early in lieu provisions within the thr and r's. the thr and r's don't establish a specific time frame for that, but looking back on the records of the public meetings and the presentation of the tida board, the presentation was around that potential five to eight years following the execution of the dda, and even when you consider the roughly three-plus year delay that we had for the ceqa litigation, we're entering the front end of that window. when you take out that, we're about to leave the back end of that window. so i think we may be recommending that sometime in the near future, potentially next fiscal year, we make an

early offer to households that won't be able to stay through the development of a replaceme replacement unit, but subject to further conversation. on the affordable housing options, you know, there's -- there's a lot to cover with the residents on what it takes to be qualified, but one thing that is kind of clear in the way that the thr and r's were drafted, they--they're drafted with the assumption that if someone could potentially qualify for an affordable unit, they would certainly pursue it. and those -- so that under the thr and r's, the default for failing to qualify for an affordable unit or complete the paperwork for an affordable unit is that you're given an

overincome unit. so -- but you know, it's not -- the decision of whether to pursue an affordable unit or a market rate unit is more nuanced than just do i qualify for a lower rent because you may also be offered a different number of bedrooms if you're moving into an affordable unit. so people are sometimes trying to make very significant choices with obviously long-term implications for the household, depending on what they choose. and so we're looking at that, and also, some people might choose not to pursue an affordable unit because of the disclosures involved in the income recertification, recertification processes. but then, also, you know, depending on the composition of a household, they might qualify

for an affordable rental unit or they might qualify for an affordable unit, but because those are priced with households as different percentages of area median income, people won't typically -- well, would not be able to be making a choice between an affordable for rent or an affordable for sale, they'll be making a choice between their inclusionary -- or their transition unit under the thr and r's and an affordable rental or an affordable for purchase option. and also, you know, just to highlight again that for those that do pursue the affordable for sale, they are eligible for the down payment assistance, just as households pursuing a market rate for sale unit would be under the thr and r's. so these are some of the kind of issues that were -- have

kind of come to the surface and we're evaluating what potential policy recommendations we may make down the road related to these. so going forward, as i mentioned, we're going to be continuing our outreach to try and complete as many consultations by the end of april as we can. at this point, you know, i think we're trying to learn -- to get a good sense of the community and the range of interests and preferences, and a representation of, you know numbers of households that may be qualified for affordable housing and so forth. so if we don't get to 100%, but if we can get to 75 or 80, i think we'll consider ourselves successful at this point. and then, we'll continue to review those results with the board at the may and june meetings, possibly with, as i

mentioned, some policy recommendation going forward, including potentially extending the in lieu. and again, during that same time frame, after we've completed the consultations issuing the summary letters back to the households to give them the memorialize where the current status of each household is. with that, i'll take your questions. >> thank you. >> i -- just one sort of -- just my personal experience with being called to do the survey, and as you probably know, it's a very political time, also, and i'm getting i don't know how many calls a day, you know, about one candidate or another candidate

or something like that, and i do believe i was called by somebody -- you know, somebody doing that for just sitting the tida work. and i -- you didnhe didn't rea explain initially what he was calling about, so i just assumed it was some meddlesome call from a politician or something, so i did what i always do. i'm sorry. i'm really busy. call me later, hang up. but now, i realize that was probably somebody i should have talked to, so perhaps if they could state clearly at the very beginning what they are calling about, it would be helpful. it would be nice if i could just listen to everybody who calls, but it doesn't work that way. but i would certainly give them a lot of time because it's great work and it's very important, as you pointed out.

so it's just one more step towards the final re-christening of the two islands, so thank you. >> thank you, bob, for the update and show us that we're moving along. some questions at the last board meetings and the one before that, i asked the consultant to make sure he have a timeline that can be more or less like an ex-set spreadsheet. for instance, if you look at the first slide that you provided, and you put your circle for the meeting, your presentation is absolutely great. it has -- it had the supporting documents, but i think we're going to get to a point after we've exhausted and doing everything that we're doing. the outreach is going to come to place, all these meetings are going to come to place.

so we're going to have all those meetings, rather than see it at the back, let's see it up front now. let's see the consultant, sfhdc go to the way of the committee meetings, and be there, it needs to be transparent, it needs to be obvious so that when someone comes in and says, they are not at any meeting, they do not have any time, then, that proceeded sheet will be available, we can send it to all the stakeholders. i'm speaking from experience now. i'd like to see that. those workshops in home ownership, that is a given. i'd like to say that. the second thing you mentioned, and in the outreach, are we just limiting the outreach to also 30 people on the island, you know, the main land, and

sfhdc when they sent out, how did this outreach, this combination of the stakeholders that we're reaching out, are they solely the population that we're targeting or are other folks also being invited to this meeting? for me, i'd like the clarification. and also, some of the concerns that you mentioned has to do with splitting households, i didn't really know how to qualify that. sometimes we really need to know what are they talking about here, you know, what do they mean by splitting households, any of these issues. and i know that we talk about the guidelines, it's part of what all these workshops are all about, specific guidelines that we have development over the years that right now should be a template as we're conducting all these workshops so that before we even get to the selection, the residents really know what we are talking about here. we need to have that template

be present at every, every meeting, workshop, and opportunity, so that when we get to work in april, another month, then, the residents themselves will know we can do decisions for them, but either-or, and at that time we're ready to move to june or whatever, let's pull that altogether and make sure we already have that and all the implications, impacted to make those decisions and we also have a timeline to move all those things forward. thank you. >> thank you, linda. paul, did you have a comment? >> very similar to linda's coms. you know, -- comments. at first blush, i thought oh, we've only reached half of the folked in consultation, and i think it makes a lot of sense. but my concern is when this

period closes that we don't get folks saying hey, i was never offered that opportunity or i didn't understand what my opportunity was. and i imagine some folks are saying like you pointed out, i don't want to disclose information. i'm not interested. is there some kind of documentation that says they don't want a consultation or they're not interested for whatever reason they might have? >> yeah. we will be following up with households, and if people delaine to decline to be interviewed at that time, that's certainly their option. we've opened up a resource center in one of the vacant units in the island, so this phase of it is really to have staff available conducting it on a sunday, as we did last weekend, conducting 16 interviews on a saturday so

that, you know, that kind of intense availability, you know, we will continue to have arws under contract for five years, and you know, we can always make people available for phone interviews or, you know, if there are additional requests coming in, schedule periodically a saturday where we get a number of requests built up and we'll schedule a time on island, but it was kind of this intensive outreach will come to a close, but we'll continue to engage with residents and make opportunities available to them. but like i saed, trying to capture as much as we can in this window. also, to director richardson's questions, in working with the san francisco housing development corporation, and their conversations with tidi and scheduling this event, they really wanted us to demonstrate

that we can fill an event like this in terms of having one on the island as opposed to requiring island residents to go to one somewhere else in the city. so initially, the outreach is -- an enrollment is limited to the island because we are trying to demonstrate that we can fill it with island residents. it will play into the factor of whether we choose to have another one on the identifies land. but yeah, if we get to may and things have not filled up, we would open up the enrollment to a larger part of the city. in terms of splitting households, there's kind of two common scenarios. one is that a lot of households on the islands are roommate situations. you have disparate individuals who have been living together

in a roommate situation for more than a decade and they're trying to look towards the future at some point not being roommates. in other situations, we have households where we had a family with -- with some cases young children that are now adults, and they're wondering about potential opportunities for splitting into multiple households, so those are kind of the situations that we have, where, you know, a household is -- is interested at some point in having multiple glowing options. >> yes. >> quick suggestion. i know that on our tida landing page, there's usually some shortcuts to a couple of things, like upcoming events or featured. i couldn't find a spot to

connect to this, a transition. could we put this somewhere promine prominent? it's great that we're trying to communicate to people, but there is a contingent that will come to us, as well, so i think it will help if it's prominently displayed on our page. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> are there any other questions by the board? thank you very much for that update, bob, and so this is not an action item. next item, please. >> is there any public comment on item number nine? item number ten, discussion and future agenda items by directors. >> do directors have any? yes, sharon. >> yes, thank you. so myself and actually another director have joined not long ago, and i understand there's been a lot of work done on a couple topics that i would request to see if we can get an

update on the board. i would defer to the president on the timing of it and whether it's appropriate at the full board or perhaps at asub committee. the two items that i'm interested in, one is an update on the status of the ferry, where things are with that, how are discussions going with mtc. and then, secondly, maybe an updata's well as a refresher on the toll conversations and some of the assumptions that were put into the thinking when this was last before the board. >> i think we can certainly do that. >> yeah. >> both the ferry, and it would be weda, the agency that governs the ferry operations. >> yeah. it would probably be tima for both of these as this point. >> yeah.

>> tima has been working with whta on a potential operating agreement, but right now, it would still be with tima. >> so if we could have an update on those items it would be helpful to the full board. >> it might be may. next month we've already got a full agenda, but i'll look at may-june and work with tim on timing. >> comments or questions? hearing none, i think -- >> adjourn. >> yes. meeting adjourned. >> thank you. >> thank you.

and leaders standing behind me. we're here today because history, earthquakes and climate change compel us to protect our city. history. over 100 years ago, the 'em sea wall was built and we're fortunate it lasted this long. it was built at a time when they didn't know how to stabilize against earthquake risk. we know the big one will strike us at some point over the next three decades. and if it does, we'll see flooding along the water front. climate change, despite climate deniers we know that the estimates of sea level rise by the end of the next century are 4-10 feet. we need to fix this sea wall. what is it that we're trying to protect? millions of san franciscans and

californians who live work and play along the waterfront. we see 24 million tourists visiting our waterfront every year. it's imperative we protect this asset not just for san francisco, but the bay and the california economy. i want to again thank everyone standing behind us, our mayor, board of supervisors. when i was on the board of supervisors, i served on the capital planning committee, where we planned for how we took care of tens of billions of dollars of assets. this is at the top of the list. i want to thank my current colleagues in the legislature. you'll hear from scott wiener. in 2005 they established the financing district we're talking about today. she had drafted the legislation to ensure we're investing in infrastructure as well as historic resources, the bill

we're discussing today is to ensure we're expanding what it is that we're protecting. protecting our shoreline, ensuring we can rebuild our seawall. before i introduce our next speaker, i want to say two things. we're here in part because we have to come together as a community. you'll hear about the efforts at the local level, as well as at the state level and what we had hoped was going to be the federal level, but despite what donald trump is saying what he is doing about infrastructure, none of us are holding our breath. so san francisco and california need to act. we're here for our kids. and our grandkids. none of us are going to be around when the next century turns. but my hope is my son and his friends and his next generations, will look to this day as a day that our city leaders came together to care for and steward the assets of our city. our next speaker is someone who

has children of his own, and i know that he cares very much about ensuring that the future of our city is in good hands. i'm delighted to help introduce the mayor of the city and county of san francisco, mayor mark farrell. >> thank you, david. i am proud to be here as the mayor to thank -- [horn honk] i'm going to start off. i want to thank mr. chu along with assembly member ting, but specifically on this issue here. leadership is critical to the future of our city. critical to the future of the waterfront and proud to be here at this announcement today. our waterfront is one of the most iconic parts of san francisco. it always has been. subjects of pictures, it's why tourists come here. it's one of the most beautiful

parts of our city. and holding up the waterfront is our seawall. these are the buildings, the waterfront, the restaurants, the small businesses, but it's been holding back the bay to make sure that our tunnels are not flooded. holding back the rising tides of our san francisco bay to make sure we can walk along the waterfront in front of us here today. it is critically important to san francisco today and to the future of our city. we need to do everything we can as a city to make sure it survives and it's strong for the next generation. this project is not cheap. i want to really thank elaine for her leadership and the entire port commission for making sure we plan for the future. it is a $5 billion project that we have to plan for. the voters of san francisco will

have a bond on the ballot going toward this effort. and the bill is going to play a huge start in kick starting the project. and let's be clear, this is about planning for the future of the city. it's about infrastructure and making sure our city is resilient when the next earthquake hits. the next earthquake will hit. it's not a matter of if, but when. we need to be strong and ready to respond and make sure our infrastructure is ready to protect the residents of our city. proud to be here today and really want to thank assembly member chu for his leadership. thank you, everyone. >> thank you, mr. mayor. some 13 years ago in 2005 when they established the legislation to take what were known as public trust lands owned by the state to turn them over to the authority of our port department

for stewardship, i want to thank elaine and her department and commissioners for bringing this to our attention for so many years. i championed the earthquake safety emergency response bonds. there were two of them over the years. unfortunately, we were not able to the bonds to develop or create the assets to protect what we have here at the port. with that i'd like to bring up elaine forbes to tell us where our seawall infrastructure needs to go. >> thank you so much, assembly member chiu. i'm representing the port staff. we have the port commission president by my side and she'd she's been a steward of the waterfront for 20 years. i can say this is a dream come true day for us. it's remarkable to see the leadership behind me embracing and supporting the need for investment in the waterfront. as our mayor and assembly member

has said, this seawall is a work horse for the city. so much economic activity. the infrastructure. and there is other things, too, that the seawall does that goes unseen. it's going to be the place of emergency response. we expect people to go out by water in the event of a major earthquake and goods to come in by water. this has to hold up. if we're preparing and preventing disaster, it will be five times less to do so proactively. this represents how we can get this done. how this daunting task of a $5 billion effort will come to fruition because the leaders behind me are making this a priority. we start with the $500 million phase, laying out the improvements for 20-30 years and then tackling the most critical

pieces first. i want to give a huge thank you to naomi kelly behind me. she pole vaulted this project along with mayor lee by identifying it as a critical piece of infrastructure for the city. so we're so -- port staff, port commission and i are so excited for the day, so thankful for the state leadership for assembly member chu, ting, getting us $250 million for the project, should this be approved, we'll work hard to get it done. we're so thankful the leadership has heard our call and is going to prioritize a safe and vibrant waterfront. thank you so much. >> i'm grateful to my colleagues for representing this effort. phil ting, as well as our next

speaker, senator scott wiener. >> thank you, david, i want to thank assemblyman chiu for his leadership. when we served on the board of superviso supervisors together, we all care about infrastructure, but david took so much leadership on not just the sexy infrastructure, but on the infrastructure that we depend on but the people don't see. and the seawall is certainly part of that. i want to thank the port. i am really trying to work and support the port's effort to move this bond to the ballot. i want to thank elaine, my neighbor, and the entire port staff for its leadership on this critical issue. this is really about two realities of life. sea level rise and earthquakes. and as much as we want to wish them all away, we can't. the big earthquake is going to

come and unless we take radical, radical action today around reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change, we're going to continue to see sea level rise. and sadly because of the disaster known as washington d.c., there is no bold action happeni happeni federally to address climate change, and we're doing what we can but this is a national problem we have to resolve. we're going to continue to see significant sea level rise. our downtown is so at risk of inundation, we're doing what we can to reduce carbon emissions. doing what we income the bay area. just a year ago we passed a tax to start restoring the wetlands destroyed in the bay area 150 years ago, because that will help us to mitigate sea level

rise. but with everything we're doing, we have to have the seawall. it has to be intact, has to be able to with stand an earthquake and be able to protect us from the bay. we love the bay, but the bay is going to cause us problems when it floods the muni subway tunnel and downtown areas. we need to get this bill passed. this is just one step. we need the bond. we need this bill and a lot more work to fund this project. i look forward to collaborating to get it done. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, senator wiener for reminding us we're putting the sexy back into infrastructure. i want to thank everyone for coming together. i want to invite the next speaker, someone who has been a champion for infrastructure in our city, supervisor london

breed. >> thank you, everyone for being here today. you know, it's easy to talk to residents of san francisco about the need for more housing. the need to address challenges with public safety and homelessness and things we can see. what is harder is trying to help people to understand the significance of the things that we can't see. the infrastructure needs that hold our city together. we know the consequences when we don't do what is necessary to protect our infrastructure. we only look at new orleans and what happened with the levies and how that devastated that particular city. and so we in san francisco, we must be proactive, we must take these kind of bold moves and creative solutions. i want to thank assembly member david chiu for finding a very creative way to help us pay for it. i want to thank the voters in advance, because this fall,

we're going to have a ballot measure that is going to help with $350 million to help in this effort. we know that there is so much work to do in san francisco. and as the president of the board who now serves on the unknown capital planning committee, the needs of our infrastructure are at the top of my list on a regular basis. i want to thank not only noemie kelly, but also elaine forbes. she would reach out and say, supervisor, i want to meet with you about the seawall, i say, wait a minute, i have to work with this challenge. she always brings it back to how important it is not just to protect my district, but to protect the entire city. her leadership along with port
