12:04 am
for phase two of hunters point shipyard and candlestick point. the cfd will allow the special agent to levy a special tax for infrastructure and services in the area. on april 17, 2017, an ordinance was levyed. we'll adopt the ordinance but first hear from staff. madam director. >> thank you, commissioner. deputy director will present on this item. >> i'm the deputy director for finance and administration for the office of community investment and infrastructure. just to refresh your mind one more time on what a cfd is.
12:05 am
community facilities district is a district with a defined geographic boundary where the commission authorizes the levy of a special tax and that's used to fund facilities within the district or it can provide services. and the funds that can provide facilities can pay directly or to issue bonds, proceeds of which are used to build public facilities. the cfd that's before you today or the ordinance that's before you today is related to cfd9, which we completed the formation for at our last meeting on the 17th. and that was done in accordance with the disposition and development agreement of 2010 for hunters point and shipyard candlestick point. as a reminder, these taxes are part of the overall property tax
12:06 am
levy and are layered upon the 1% tax that's the typical property tax. it's been a long road to get here. we've had a number of different meetings and you have taken a number of actions in the formation process. we first met and commission passed a resolution of intention to establish a cfd and resolution of intention to incur bonded indebtedness. following those actions, the executive director ordered a cfd report to be commissioned. we provided that report to the commission as well as the results and you approved a resolution of formation of the cfd and calling a special election. that same day, we held a special election and the formation of the cfd passed unanimously. following the special election, the commission passed a resolution declaring the results of the election, resolution
12:07 am
issuing bonds, and introduced an ordinance ordering a special levy of taxes. ordinances require two readings. so we're here for the second. this is the second reading and today is the day you will take action on the ordinance ordering the levy of the special tax. the actions that you have taken have defined the geographic boundaries of the cfd, have approved the rate and method of apportionment, which is the amount of the taxes and how the taxes will be levied and authorized certain public improvement and services consistent with the dda and financing plan. you have approved a bonded in debtedness of $6 million. for improvement area one, you have approved $1.2 million.
12:08 am
and within that area, will be levying a facility special tax defined in the rma. the term is not to exceed 75 years and varies by property type, as described on the slide and has an escalator of 2% per annum and would fund the list of authorized facilities that are listed here on the slide and are consistent with the dda and financing plan. we would also be levying special services tax. that would fund services such as park operations and maintenance. it would be in perpetuity and vary in type. t the escalator is the lesser of the tax or 5%.
12:09 am
the action before you today would authorize the levy of a special tax. it's a rate and method of taxation in improvement area one, and approved for 2017/2018, which i detailed in the prior two slides. it authorizes taxation in future improvement areas. at the time, we could either through unanimous approval, those properties could choose the level of taxation, or they can go through an annexation process and write a separate method of apportionment. ordinance requires two readings and today is the second reading. so if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer them. >> madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards on this item? >> no speaker cards, madam chair. >> are there members of the
12:10 am
public that wish to speak on this item? having no further requests to speak on the item, i will close public comment. and turn to my fellow commissioners. any questions or comments about the proposed ordinance? >> no wonder i couldn't hear myself. we'll consider an ordinance of special taxes and waive full reading. i will accept a motion, second, adopt ordinance and waive full reading. so moved by commissioner bustos. seconded by commissioner singh. madam secretary, please take roll call. >> please announce your vote when i call your name. [roll call] madam chair, the vote is four
12:11 am
ayes. >> motion carries. madam secretary, please call the next item. >> the next order of business is agenda item 5c, approving a budget for period july 1, 2018, through june 30, 2019, and authorizing the executive director to submit the budget and interim budget to the mayor's office and the board of supervisors. discussion and action resolution 23-2018. madam director? >> thank you. on april 17, 2018, the commission held a workshop to give an overview of the budget, where an outline was presented. and the budget and breakdown of the accomplishments we've done as of the prior year and what the work plan would look like for the next fiscal year. today we're going to present
12:12 am
some slight technical changes made, .3% from what was presented at the workshop. i think you will have someone else present today? are you going to? >> good afternoon. i'm bre mahorder. i want to thank a new member of the finance team that was instrumental in preparing the budget this year. her name is mena. we spent late nights and weekend making sure every number was accurate. i appreciated her work this year, which meant i didn't have to do it, which was exciting for me, personally. we always have a commission workshop, where we go through the project cost centers. then we come back for your
12:13 am
approval in the commission action, which is what we are doing here today. pending your approval, we submit to the budget office on may 2. following the review, presents the budget to the board in the first day of june. the budget and finance committee deliberates in june and final action is taken in july. as the executive director said, we presented to you a proposed draft budget of $746.7 million. sources which are here before you. and the uses of which are summarized in this slide as well. since that time, we've made -- we've checked our list, dotted the ts -- no, crossed the ts, dotted the is. and we decided we want to make some slight technical changes to recalculate some numbers with
12:14 am
late-breaking assumptions. i will good through those right now. as you can see here, the budget -- draft budget we presented was $747.6 million and the budget we're presenting today is $745.0 million. so it's a very, very slight reduction of .3%. so the changes are small and technical in nature, which you will soon see. here's a financial summary of all of the changes that we're proposing. as you can see, no individual change is more than 2% and the majority of the changes are less than 1%. and only one change is an increase. the rest of the changes are decreased. the total, offsetting impact is a decrease in overall budget. i will go through the individual changes now. we are proposing a net decrease
12:15 am
in property tax of $1.7 million. that's due to a recall -- recalculation of what we'll get from transbay. there was a three-year backlog, meaning there was a large amount of supplemental payments, catch up from prior years when a new assessment is made. and our original estimates included those supplemental payments. in working with the assessor's office and controller's office, we were able to tease out which of the dollars were supplemental and which were regular and so we revised our projections down by $1.7 million. and then we have a net decrease in new bonds of $0.7 million.
12:16 am
we took a long at our assumptions and we decided to revise them downward to reach the most accurate number possible for the next year. there was also a very slight reallocation in staffing costs. the costs related to cost of issuance for new bonds is generally funded by the proceeds of the bonds themselves, rather than from other sources and so we made that correction, which even though it was a shift in funding source, it -- that created a rounding change that was due to rounding of $0.2 million. as you can see here, updated sources. they're virtually the same as what we presented to you at the last commission meeting. as in the draft budget, primary sources are prior period authority, which were dollars authorized in a prior year but
12:17 am
spent over multiple years. examples would be affordable housing loans or multiyear construction contracts, new bonds, and property tax. as i said at our commission meeting, that makes sense because the vast majority of our expenditures that are high dollar like construction contracts and our affordable housing loans are funded with bond proceeds and our bonds when we issue them create a need to pay debt service funded by property tax. these sources are in line with what you would expect to see from our budget. similarly as you can see from this high-level summary here, our primary uses are affordable housing loans and development infrastructure. affordable housing loans that the commissioner approves to build affordable housing and development infrastructure being
12:18 am
dollars that ocii spent directly such as transbay park or reimbursing developers for what they've constructed. so, again, these are the primary missions of the agency. so it makes sense that these are primary expenditures. so i just wanted to leave you with a couple budget highlights, you know, the four most salient points. the budget is an increase of $208 million from fiscal 2017/2018 from $536.8 million. that increase is due primarily to an increase expediture on affordable housing loans, which are funded by bond proceeds, so, again, that makes sense with the primary sources and uses that we
12:19 am
talked about and it's really exciting because it means we're putting a lot of resources out into the community to build affordable housing, which we all know is desperately needed in san francisco. to that tune, we propose to issue $223 million in new affordable housing loans, which you will see coming before you throughout the next fiscal year. and to fund those loans, we propose to issue three new bonds. mission bay housing bond and sb-107 and mission bay infrastructure for $144.1 million, include of -- including c.o.i., cost of issuance. pending your approval, we'll submit our budget to the mayor's office tomorrow. they will review it in may. they will present to the board in june. board will deliberate in june and final action in july and we'll, of course, keep you
12:20 am
updated on any changes that happen throughout that process. if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer them. >> madam secretary, do you have any speaker cards for this item? >> no speaker cards, madam chair. >> so since there's no request to speak, will close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners for comments and questions. >> i have a question. on number 9, page 9, this is the first time i've seen that we have not shown in here to -- >> you can find the budgeted positions in the narrative
12:21 am
that's attached to the resolution. it's in the back and as one of the trailing items with the budget, we present to you, as i'm sure you will recall, the salary ordinance, which shows all of the positions in the agency both budgeted and accompanying salary ranges and that's presented to you in june before the beginning of the fiscal year. >> i just want to know how much each employees make. every year, doing the budget, they show. >> you will see that in june with the salary ordinance. >> but we're approving the budget today. >> yes. the total is -- i think maybe traditionally you've seen the ranges associated with certain classifications, but generally we've not provided individual
12:22 am
salaries for individual people. >> commissioner, we're happy to send that to you if you are interested. >> as commission er rosales knows, we have this. yeah. it's the first time we've seen a different with all of it together and what other public agency do we pay $10 million? >> could you repeat the question? >> payment to other public agencies, $10.4 million. >> so that is a combination of a number of things. one of them is the transfer of yerba buena gardens that's planned at the end of the fiscal year. we're retaining some of the program income associated with that transfer to pay any trailing bills, so there's $5
12:23 am
million allocated in case there is any cash left that we need to transfer post the actual transfer of the asset. in addition, we've budgeted transferring to the port, fund balance that's currently held, related to the south beach harbor. and we did that to pay down the cal boating land to facilitate the transfer of the asset. >> i have a couple of questions also. on the same chart on slide 9, work force development services.
12:24 am
.5 -- >> it's $500,000. >> yes. is that with the mayor's office -- >> work force development. >> i'm trying to connect the dots between that line item, which i like -- i think it's certainly adequately funded. and then the other category that commissioner singh was referring to, payments to other public agencies. i assume that includes mous we have with the city. >> actually, these -- the items detailed in the payments to other public agencies are related more to cash transfers not in exchange for services. so we call out the work force and development services because we know it's an item that's of particular interest to the
12:25 am
commission. in other places, we treat -- we combine, for example, planning, d.p.w., m.t.a. into other professional services. from our perspective, because we're not a city department, we're procuring professional services from an outside entity and we treat them generally like that unless we know there is something in particular interest to the commission, and then we call that out so you can connect with that information directly. >> okay. so that would mean for the city and county of san francisco, work force, mayor's office of work force development, city attorney's office, these are -- these are special items, so 5.6 inclusive of other departments,
12:26 am
city attorney's office and outside counsel, i presume. i'm always the one that wants to make sure we have enough money to pay for our services. and the first stop is the city. i think that looks -- i defer to the executive director and to staff. >> in the prior budget presentation, there was a slide in the appendix that showed all of the dollars that are -- >> okay.
12:27 am
>> yes, okay. that's good. there we go. >> so the -- these are all of the dollar -- that we spend with the city. and that comes from -- it's difficult to see in this slide which is -- because it comes across a couple of different use categories, which is why i pulled it out in this summary. so, for example, we contract with two employees with a.d.m. who provide specialized -- administrative -- department of administrative services. we contract with them for two full-time employees that work at ocii all the time and it was through the transition became a.d.m. employees. that's shown in salaries and benefits.
12:28 am
public works because it's a construction contract shows up in infrastructure. so it's a little bit difficult to see here, which is why i wanted to pull it out in this individual slide, but we do a very careful analysis as part of the budget process looking at the budget for last year, the expediture, making sure that there is enough room for all of the planned expediture, and i contact all the other cfos for those departments and make sure we're on the same page. >> excellent. thank you. another question on grants to community-based organizations. can you give me an idea which ones? >> sure. in the past, that number incl e included all the community-based organizations in yerba buena gardens. but because of the transfer, this section no longer contains those. so that's why this number may
12:29 am
look different to you this year. what it contains is all the community-based organizations that we fund in the shipyard through the legacy foundation. >> okay. the last question is, dahlia? >> i believe it's fully implemented. the last time we had money in the budget was '15/'16 budget. we haven't received any further requests. >> maria benjamin was saying that there was a feature, like a potential new feature, that was a twinkle in their eye where it would basically match -- rather than going through that process, going through the electronic process that the candidate or the need of the profile of the candidate with the opportunity. so that would require money. anyway, food for thought.
12:30 am
>> we'll be happy to follow up with them. they get an impact award. so i expect they probably have funding, which is why they haven't reached out to us, but we'd be happy to check in. >> okay. great. >> and i would add, we also make a direct payment between $8 million and $10 million for which they can used for a variety of low-income housing purposes. >> excellent. okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> i just want to acknowledge staff's work on this and thank you for spending so much time and welcome aboard. i know it's not easy to go through budgets, but i commend this staff for having gone through to the point of reducing
12:31 am
the budget. hopefully it doesn't hurt us. next year we may need to increase, but showing our due diligence to ensure that every cent is accounted for. it's public money. so i'm proud to be a part of this commission because of the work that the staff is doing to make sure that we're being careful with the people's money, along with what we're doing with the mission of this organization. so i just wanted to thank you for putting all that together and your hard work. >> thank you. >> thank you. one question about professional services. can you expand on that? >> sure. professional services is a last rubrick. we tend to use it for specialized services that we cannot, ourselves, provide. it could be a fit test to see if the bulk of the building can fit within the footprint of the property. it could be an economic analysis
12:32 am
to determine the viability of services in a neighborhood. so it really kind of -- it's a very niche, specialized services that we cannot provide inhouse so, we go outside to support that. >> and it includes communications and website updates. >> oh, so we're going to get an update on our website? >> yes. >> that's great. good news for us. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> do we have any speaker cards? >> no, speaker cards. >> no further requests to speak, we'll close that. oh, i did that. motion moved by commissioner rosales and seconded by commissioner bustos. madam secretary, please take the roll. >> please announce your vote
12:33 am
when i call your name. [roll call] madam chair, the vote is four ayes. >> motion carries. thank you. madam secretary, please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 6, public comment on a nonagenda item. >> are there any speaker cards, madam secretary? >> no speaker cards. >> no further requests to speak, i close public comment. please call the next item. >> next order of business is item 7, report of the claire. madam chair? >> oh, just one item. i just wanted to say that we had a tour of the park tower last week i was there with members of
12:34 am
the staff and it was an interesting tour and i understand they're going to be opening officially by the fall this year, which in was surprised because it seemed like it wasn't quite ready. this is the only -- well, from my perspective. but then at the same time, it's great that it will open in the fall because i live in the neighborhood and the traffic will be a lot better without the big construction vehicles. and it's the only building that is 100% commercial space. no housing in this particular building. so that's my report. please call the next item. >> next order of business is item 8, report of executive director. >> apologies. i have nothing to report at this time. thank you. >> madam secretary, please call
12:35 am
the next item. >> next order of business is item 9, commissioners' questions and matters. madam chair? >> any questions from fellow commissioners? hearing none, madam secretary, please call the next item. >> next is item 10. closed section. the next order business is item 11, adjournment. >> favorite item, adjournment. i need a motion and second. okay. motioned by commissioner rosales. and seconded by commissioner singh. 1:37 p.m. the meeting is adjourned.
12:36 am
12:37 am
in 2014, the supervisors adopted a resolution in san francisco that prohibited the sail of cigarette products. a rhenendumb was filed requiring that the ordinance be submitted to the voters. the ordinance will not go into effect unless a majority of voters approve. proposition e is a refer endumb to pass the ordinance passed by the board of supervisors prohibiting the sail of flafrd tobacco products in san francisco. a yes vote means you want to prohibit the sail of flafrd tobacco products in san francisco. a no vote means if you vote no, you want to allow the sale of flavored tobacco products in san francisco. i'm here with dr. lawrence chung, past president of the marin medical society. we're also joined by star child, outreach director of the
12:38 am
libertiaryian party of san francisco. thank you both for being here. i'd like to start with you, star child. why do you feel it's so important. >> well, it's an expansion of the war on drug dos, and we shd know that the war on drugs has been a massive failure. it didn't work with alcohol, it didn't work with cannabis, and it won't work with tobacco. this will create a black market in san francisco for purchase of cigarettes on the streets where they won't be checking i.d. it's already illegal in california for people under 21 to buy tobacco products, so the opposition's claims about oh, it's about kids being able to buy tobacco, well kids can't buy tobacco now. this is about not fringing on adult choices. it's going to lead to more crime, it's going to lead to more retailers closing. controller's economic office
12:39 am
estimated 50 million lost in sales. vaping stores and other retailers that are highly reliant on tobacco sales will close. raping actually helps people quit smoking. it's less harmful. vaping and e cigarettes are included under this proposed ban. >> thank you. dr. chung? >> thank you for asking me to be here? i'm here not only as a concerned physician but as a father. i have two wonderful nine-year-old twin boys and girls, and i am worried that this is allen assault on our k. canny flavored tobacco has only one use, and that's to hook kids into tobacco. this measure is all about protecting our kids, our community, and i feel very strongly that we should uphold this ban on tobacco that has already been passed by a unanimous decision at the board of supervisors level. so please join me and the san
12:40 am
francisco marin medical association, the california medical association and the american medical association in upholding this ban on candy flavored tobacco, vote yes on prop e. >> thank you. i'd like to ask some questions, and i'm going to begin with you, dr. chung. do you believe that this proposition, a ban on flavored tobacco is the best way to fight youth tobacco use. >> yes, i believe this is a very effective way to fight youth tobacco, because we know that four out of five kids who start smoking start with a candy tobacco flavored product, four out of five. so if we ban the sale of these candy flavored tobacco in our stores, we will effectively keep them out of the reach of our kids. it's all about our health. >> and the same to you, star child. >> absolutely not. as i mentioned, the kids
12:41 am
already can't buy tobacco in stores. what this will do is drive sales to the streets or on-line where i.d. check is less effective or in the case of on the streets, it won't take place at all. if you buy things on the street from unregulated sources, he don't know what's in them. we all know the case of eric garner in new york city who was killed by police there. he was selling illegal unlicensed cigarettes on the street, so that's an example of the kind of violence that can be produced by this, and it's not going to be effective at preventing kids from smoking. i mean, kids get tobacco know. i mean, it's a parental decision. keep your nine-year-olds from smoking, absolutely, but prop e won't help make that happen. >> thank you. our next question goes to star child first, is do you believe proposition e is too broad, there have been some arguments
12:42 am
that in addition to it covering candy and flavored tobacco in that sense, that it also covers menthol cigarettes and hookah use in the middle eastern communities. >> we would be against it even if it were only covering a very narrow segment, because your question is does your body belong to you or the government. all of us consume various things that are unhealthy. if we all switched to a raw food, vegan diet, we would be much healthier. does that mean that anything that's not vegan should be criminalized? no, but that's the way that some people want to go. big government, unfortunately, they already make more off of the sale of a package of cigarettes than the tobacco companies do. they're trying to make money off of it on both ends, fining it from the sales, and criminalizing it on the other,
12:43 am
and all the apparatus, there will be air cost with enforcing that, and we've seen with the war on drugs and putting people behind bars, especially with low-income communities and communities of color, and this is the wrong way to go. we know proceed hibitihibitionr on drugs is the wrong way to go. >> dr. chung? >> absolutely not. again, most kids start smoking through candy flavored tobacco products. these flavors are added for a reason: so make smoking easier and to make more pima ikt didded. we know the more you smoke, the more it'll call you to have harm, cancer and eventually death. i like to do whatever i can to keep my kids safe and to keep my community safe. i do believe this ban will be effective in reducing our kids from smoking, so i'm a proponent of this proposition. >> and we'd like to have our
12:44 am
closing arguments. we'll start with you, star child. >> well, first of all, i wanted to point out, for one thing, there's medical health professionals and people who care about kids and reducing death on both sides of this argument, so please don't be misled by the fact that my opponent has the word dr. in front of his name. et he et -- he's a dermatologist, not a health care researcher. the fact that kids may start by smoking flavored tobacco, that has nothing to do with the reality that everybody likes flavors. they're acting like oh, just because it's flavored, it's going after kids. nonsense. i like different flavored when i eat products. i don't smoke cigarettes, but it's something that people should have, again, ultimately the right to choose what to put into their own bodies, and this is not going to reduce smoking. history shows it's not going to
12:45 am
reduce smoking. the belief that it will somehow flies in the face of reality. >> thank you. dr. chung? >> thank you. again as a practicing physician in san francisco for over ten years and having represented san francisco marin medical society, the california medical association and also the american medical association on public health policy, i can tell you that all of our organizations feel that this proposition is the right thing to do. this proposition simply is to uphold the ban on candy flavored tobacco. big tobacco is waging a war, an assault on our kids' health. they try to get a new generation of children to be addicted to tobacco products that's going to increase our health care costs down the road. nod to diseas-- in addition to diseases and deaths, so please vote no on proposition e. >> thank you. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> no on prop e. >> we hope that this discussion has been informative.

>> look at that beautiful jellyfish. the way to speak to students and motivate them to take action, to save the planet, they do, they care and my job is to speak to them in a way that they can understand that touches their heart and makes them feel powerful with simple actions to take every day. ♪ ♪ >> i was born and raised in the
12:49 am
desert of palm springs, california. my dad was the rabbi in the community there. what i got from watching my father on stage talking to the community was learning how to be in the public. and learning how to do public speaking and i remember the first time i got up to give my first school assembly, i felt my dad over my shoulder saying pause for drama, deliver your words. when i was a kid, i wanted to be a teacher. and then when i got into high school, i decided i wanted to get into advertising and do graphic art and taglines and stuff like that. by the time i was in college, i decided i wanted to be a decorator. but as i did more work, i realized working my way up meant a lot of physical labor. i only had so much energy to
12:50 am
work with for the rest of my life and i could use that energy towards making a lot of money, helping someone else make a lot of money or doing something meaningful. i found the nonprofit working to save the rainforest was looking for volunteers. i went, volunteered and my life changed. suddenly everything i was doing had meaning. stuffing envelopes had meaning, faxing out requests had meaning. i eventually moved up to san francisco to work out of the office here, given a lot of assembly through los angeles county and then came up here and doing assemblies to kids about rainforest. one of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, i'm teaching them they have the power, and that motivates them. it was satisfying for me to work
12:51 am
with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. the san francisco department of environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. we realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students. the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact
12:52 am
sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. >> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an
