>> all right. so good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us today. you know, for the past four months, as mayor of the city of san francisco, i have from reside residents across our entire city up and down the ladder about the streets of san francisco. our streets are filled with trash and debris, and it is unacceptable, and i've said from day one the cleanliness of our streets is going to be one of my biggest priorities as mayor of the city of san francisco. san francisco residents are fed up with the conditions, and i am the first to say that i feel their pain, and we are doing something about it. so last week, along with a

number of people who are here behind me, we announced a comprehensive budget proposal that we're going to move forward with to aggressively cleanup our streets here in san francisco. we are no -- we know that our conditions on our streets exist across our city. it's not confined to one neighborhood. every single neighborhood is feeling this pain, including right here in the castro district. so this plan that we announced last week includes 44 new street cleaners throughout the city of san francisco, four in each supervisorial district that will have material impact in the conditions of our neighborhoods, in particular our commercial corridors. we're adding five new pit stops to address the feces and urination issues that we are seeing in many different neighborhoods here in san francisco. and also talked about and announced a dedicated team to picking up syringes and needles across the entire city of san

francisco. family members and individuals should not have to step over needles on the way to school, on the way to work. it simply doesn't need to be part of our landscape here in san francisco. and we are also growing our fix it team, sandra, who runs or fix it team, and does such an amazing job. how about a round of applause for her. [applause] >> the hon. mark farrell: we are expanding it to ten new districts in san francisco. because they do such an amazing job in san francisco. when there are areas to be picked up, when there is anything that needs to be done, they are there doing it, doing such an incredible job. but we need to do more. we need to put our foot on the gas pedal, and as mayor, until i leave office, i am going to do it, and street cleanliness is something i am going to address. we have a big effort to cleanup our streets. san francisco residents do, as

well, and now today we're going to have some bigbellys to help us with that effort. and sorry, i had to go there with that line. so today, we are announcing five new bigbelly trash receptacle here in the castro district and 15 others in different neighborhoods throughout san francisco. now these bigbelly trash cans, as you will see, there's going to be a demonstration at the end, are different than your normal trash cans. they have automatic compactors inside, allowing them to hold five times the amount of waste of any normal garbage can. they tick recycling, compost, and trash, and they're outfitted with wireless technology, real-time technology that alerts those when these are full to come pick them up and empty them. that means no more wasted trips to pick up half full garbage cans. you know, we are the technology capital of the world. we should not be afraid, and you know i believe as mayor, we

should embrace technology to benefit the daily lives of our residents, and we are doing that today. we are making this investment now in partnership with our small business leaders. our community benefits districts are the ones that really do the work on the ground. i want to thank andre who is here today for all of your work in the castro, and we are partnering with them to install these new bigbelly trash receptacles, but also to maintain them going forward. we are going to cleanup our city here in san francisco. we made a number of announcements last week. today is just another step in that direction, and i want to make sure to reaffirm my commitment to the residents of san francisco that cleaning up our streets is going to be one of my biggest priorities, and we will not stop again until the day that i leave office. i look forward to seeing these trash cans across the city of san francisco. we are going to swallow up the trash with our bigbelly garbage

cans, once again. so with that, i want to thank everyone for being here. we have a number of speakers, and i would like to introduce and bring up supervisor jeff sheehy, who's right behind me. and i want to make a quick comment about supervisor sheehy. there has been no one, since i have become mayor, who has been more forceful in his advocacy of cleaning up the streets of his district than jeff sheehy. you can clap. it's great. we have gone on neighborhood walks. we have walked this commercial corridor right here with our department of public works. there's no supervisor more focused on cleaning up the streets of his neighborhood than supervisor sheehy. and with that, i'd like to hear from him. supervisor jeff sheehy. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you, mayor farrell. thank you for those kind words, and i really want to thank you

deeply for your leadership on this issue. it's been a challenge, but the inno-nateti innovation that you're bringing to this, the resources, it's making a difference, and i know the people in my district, we're grateful. i also want to thank the department of public works because they have been so steadfast, so diligent in cleaning up this neighborhood, in cleaning up the district. it's a struggle because we know that this is an ongoing problem, and i think your new initial initiatives are going to help us turn the corner on this. we are moving forward on this. i want to thank the community benefits in the castro for their leadership. these things are great. compacts, signals when the trash is full. and i do want to note that recology is here. recology is doing a great job. this is allow them to be enormously more efficient, so as the mayor said you're not

emptiying half empty trash cans, you empty them when they're full. we've seen the problem. we have the open trash cans, people rummage in them. they overflow, and sometimes that creates a mess. so andre, thank you for your partnership with recology, with the mayor. i'm going to address you, but sandra zuniga, i can't say enough about you. she comes in, she solves problems, she works so closely with the community to identify problem areas and find solutions. she was telling me, for instance at glen park park, we have a little flower stall that was graffitied up. and you know, she just went and painted it herself. that's the type of attitude she brings towards san francisco. that's how much she cares about

this city, so i am honored to introduce sandra zuniga, who's director of the mayor's fix it team. >> good morning, everybody. thank you for that introduction and thank you to both mayor farrell and supervisor sheehy for their leadership in this city. special thank you to mayor farrell for giving me this assignment. being able to work on these bigbellys has been fun. so fix it, i run the fix it team, and what we do z we work closely with communities, talking to residents, listening to residents to find out what concerns they have, and we want to act quickly and effectively to help address those. in the castro, we've been working here about two years, and we've seen improvements, a lot of great improvements to the castro. one of things that's a great concern is litter and the amount of litter we see around our city, especially trash

cans, when they've been rummaged through or overflow especially when the wind blows and blows them away. so we're happy today to show you not just an efficient can but a very pretty tran ca-- trh can in the castro that we hope will bring new life, new energy to people who are shopping here, passing through here to use the handing, throw their cigarette butt or bottle away in the right place. today's announcement is part of a larger strategy that fix it has to make improvements in neighborhoods based on what we hear about from residents, so we plan to implement new strategies in neighborhoods across the city, and find out what works and when something works, we can replicate it in other neighborhoods with confidence. i really would like to thank all of the community benefit districts who are working with me on this project.

of course f andre aiello with the community benefit district, and several others who will see their bigbellys this summer, and a special shout out of course to public works, recology, economic and workforce development and kevin from bigbelly, who will give you all a demonstration soon. so with that, i would just like to introduce a wonderful partner in this who has been tremendously hard working and really fast at turning around a lot of giving us, you know, ideas, information, feedback, andre aiello, for getting the -- from the castro c.i.d. for getting the first big belly on the ground. >> thank you for that. the castro community benefit

district is so excited to be the first neighborhood that will be getting these bigbellys in a special program that has been sponsored by mayor farrell, and i want to thank the mayor so much for his dedication to keeping the neighborhoods clean, not only just downtown but the neighborhoods. and we are -- we'll be working with the city to develop metrics on how do we evaluate and measure these to make sure they're effective. and as everyone has been describing, the bigbellys work because once you put the trash in, you can't take the trash out, and that includes limiting and preventing overflowing trash cans, which i think we've all seen all over the city. the wind is blowing, and the wind takes the paper or the cup out of the trash can, and there's a mess all the way down the sidewalk, and it blows it

all the way down the sidewalk. so we're really excited that this is going to help keep the benefit district really clean. the castro neighborhood benefit district works tirelessly to keep the neighborhood clean, keep it vibrant. we have a lot of different strategies around cleanliness, around safety, economic vitality, greening. we have live performances in the jane warner plaza? the summer every weekend. everything fits together in a puzzle to encourage more people and more pedestrian traffic in the neighborhoods and in an urban environment. cleanliness is probably the first thing because nobody wants to walk around a neighborhood where there's trash and other things, and worse than just trash in a neighborhood. it's community benefit districts working collaboratively with public works who has been absolutely fantastic as a partner and recology all working together to pitch in and keep san

francisco clean -- or cleaner, and a great city. so i want to thank everybody and thampg the city family. they have vust been absolutely great. we've pushed through this contract in like a month, so that's unheard of. so thank everybody. i want to thank the mayor for hez creativity and initiative on this. and now, i think we're going to have kevin give a demonstration on how these wonderful things work. take care. >> one, two, three, go! [inaudible]

>> clerk: item number four, union development. >> thank you, directors. i wanted to give a brief update on some of the discussions coming out of the -- both the work with mercy and coordinating with mohcd and the feedback we're receiving from w plan for the development t replacement units per both the existing market rate residents as well as the residents of the one treasure island member agencies, we're

looking at how do we incorporate those units into the number of projects that will allow us to transition existing residents. tida currently operates over 300 units, operating roughly half of those units. catholic charities, again, about another quarter. and health rights 360 having a smaller number of units. in the one treasure island plan, as those member agencies construct their new buildings, these households in good standing will be tran f -- transferred into units. there will be an option provided

for rental transition units, down payment assistance, or in-lieu payment if they're leaving the island. tida is responsible for constructing these transition units within the sites that will be developing with one treasure island or other housing develope developers, and when they turn over eventually, they would become affordable units. so our current snapshot of the villages at treasure island, they currently have 387 occupied units, slightly more than half are pre-dda households. again, those pre-dda households, if they're eligible for, they can elect a new affordable transition unit. they can relocate to a new

market rate transition unit, or they can elect the in-lieu payment or pursue assistance to purchase a unit. so, again, the map here shows all of the tida parcels outlined in red there. those are all the spaces throughout the program that are available to us to construct the 1,866 units we're responsible to deliver. we have the first two sites here. c-3.1 and 3.2. and you saw the presentation last week by cmg and prior to and loretta on the next subphase of development. these are additional parcels that will be available to us in this next subphase area. so within these parcels, we have

sufficient real estate to transition all of the eligible residents, the constraining factor, then, becomes funding availability for the transition. the program funds come from a contribution of 17,500 per door. that's due when they transfer lots to vertical development entities. the balance for the funding of the construction of the units will have to come from other sources. tax credits, but also

potentially project-specific grants through grant programs and other sources potentially. city sources, if the next affordable housing bond program the city does, these are some of the other sources we can draw upon to help finance these projects. so in terms of strategy and managing the transition. the first project is to develop what source of shares, and the availability of the funding from the state will allow us to move into construction earlier than we would if we were relying just upon the project-related funds, but it also recognizes the history of the island as a naval station and the service of veterans. the second project will be

developing in partnership with click charities. that will allow for the transition of all 66 of the catholic charities households plus many pre-dda households that would qualify for affordable housing. for instance, we have 27 section 8 households within the villages' inventory, so those are all households we would plan to transition into this. and then, also, we intend to construct some overincome units in the catholic charities building. we're working with mercy and catholic charities to target a funds when the availability comes out. the third project, we are planning to develop in

partnership with the community housing partnership, and that is intended to transition all 110 of the existing chp households and would not anticipate to have additional units for pre-dda households because of the program requirements of chp, supporting primarily a former homeless population. and then the fourth and fifth projects would be ultimately required to transition the health right 360 residents and the remaining pre-dda households. that will be accomplished in just the fourth project, but because the overincome pre-dda house olds, we need to make sure we're constructing precisely the right unit for them.

we would not be able to rely upon tax credit financing and other external funding sources. we want to be very careful in constructing just the number of unitals -- units required. it would get us 90% of the way there and wrap up with the remaining households in the fifth project. on the pre-dda, we had enclosed both the 10% as over-income pre-dda housing units, but source to plow shares be only for veterans consistent with their program and not include

other pre-dda households. the vip is for formerly homeless veterans specifically. to offset the loss, we would increase the number of units in the catholic charities and they're supportive of that change. so rather than the source to plow shares building is currently proposed to be 105 units, we would construct in the catholic charities 10% of the buildings, plus 10 additional units for over-income residents. and that really adds to the mix of the catholic charities building as a very diverse

residence. as i mentioned before, the chp building is proposed to transition just the current chp residents. so what that looks like right now over the first five projects, as i mentioned, source to plow share building at 105 would transition the 136 households and then would not incorporate any pre-dda units other than potentially we might have one or two households that are actually income-qualifying veterans amongst the villages' residents and could potentially transition those households into the source to plow shares building. the catholic charity, there's

work to be done here. there's a pre-dev loan from mohcd tentatively calendared for next month. at this point, they're just going in for a $500,000 loan which will allow them to have additional studies to tighten up the count for the building. and then, as i mentioned, the community housing partnership currently sized to transition their 110 households, plus a couple of manager units, and then the fourth and fifth projects, we haven't identified a location, but potentially that fourth project, we're looking at a larger building, potentially as large as 180 units based on which parcel we end up citing that on. so the next steps moving forward

is confirm the programming of the swords to plowshare units and the total number of units and whether or not we'll include any pre-dda units, the call is for the ninth. that just came out. continue to refine the programming for the catholic charities building. that pre-dev loan will be important to support ahsc. and then over the next couple of months, we want to refine the unit count and cost projections for the first buildings that we can really knuckle down with

ticd with when we can plan for the project contributions and other city funds and tighten up the schedule for completing the transition. with that, i will take any questions you have. >> thank you for that presentation. i'm sure that the commissioners have questions. >> thank you for that report, bob. we're always glad to get the reports on the progress of the housing development on treasure island, especially for affordable to low-income families. i'm just wondering in terms of the subsidies available. can you maybe expand a little bit on what the financing is

that we're considering in order to support the affordableability -- affordability of these units. from the state, there's some promising bills that may be coming up. but what are we considering in terms of the financing for these projects, >> as i mentioned, the first two projects, we're anticipating an application on the veterans' housing and homeless prevention program that specifically would support the swords to plowshare programs. so over the life of our program, we may end up having another veteran's building down the road, but that's really, you know, in terms of accomplishing our transition, that's a one-time opportunity.

the next is the asic program. based on our conversations with a consultant that has been tracking the state program, our program on treasure island because of our transportation elements, our public access elements, it's a much more comprehensive set-up and improvements we're delivering, and the fact that we're constructing buildings that are 100% affordable or 90% if we include a few over-income units. all of those metrics position us to be very competitive in the asic program. that's definitely something we're looking at for the chp building but also potentially

for other buildings down the road. there are some other programs. one is called no place like home. it's a program that was adopted to support formerly homeless individuals, particularly those with mental health challenges. right now, that program is being delayed and may have to go back to the ballot for a revote. but that program or one of similar eligibility. it wouldn't work well for our transition units because that particular unit -- that particular program is both one of the challenges we face with many programs is that for programs that are intended to

support the construction of new units for the formerly homeless or for new affordable housing units and because a lot of our units are being used to replace or transition existing households, even though that existing housing was always meant to be temporary, we're being told that our units are not considered new units because they're moving people from one building to another building. so that's a challenge we have with some of these programs is that, as i said, although our housing was intended to be a temporary solution, because we've housed people, when we transition them, it's not a new unit. so those are some of the things we're looking at. also, we're in conversation with the city's capital planning

group on when we might expect the next affordable housing bond to go on the ballot. and mo is being supportive within their resources and within the larger citywide challenge of all of the projects that the city is attempting to move forward, but they are being supportive, particularly on the first project with swords to plowshares because we're not yet generating significant revenues. it's in both sources we're relying upon. >> and how will we be phasing the demolition of the existing navy housing as the new housing comes up? do we have a demolition plan? will some of those units be repurposed? >> eventually all of the existing unitals will be de--

units will be demolished. right now, we don't expect to receive transfer of the existing residential neighborhood from the navy 2022. none will be demolished before then. and overall, about 50% of the existing neighborhood ultimately lies in the wild open space at the north end of the island. so that housing would not need to be demolished to make way for the construction of new housing and could potentially -- we have more flexibility and the timing there, generally the first areas to be demolished would be those at the southern most edge of the residential neighborhood, what we call the 1,300 and the 1,400

series housings. the 1,400 series units are all two-bedroom units, and the 1,300 series are all four bedroom units, but included in the 1,400 series are all the swords to plowshares. so as we bring those online, we'll be vacating some of those buildings that are amongst the first to be demolished. with the catholic charities building, they have a number of buildings. some are in the 1,400 series, but they also have other buildings that are more in the northern and eastern side of the residential neighborhood. so as that second building comes online and those chp buildings are vacated, we can refurbish the units and use them to transition people from the areas to be impacted into those areas that will be impacted later.

>> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, bob. i have some questions. the first one has to deal with the transition unit options. i'm looking at the presentation here. so the rent is tied to the 2011 -- to the rent board every year, the city rent board. every year they prescribe with the rent. so the transition for treasure island, that amount is tied to the 2011. so all subsequent increases are not -- is that casting stone? i just want to -- >> so that is actually part of my next presentation. i was going to talk about that a

little bit. the rent at the time -- currently, the villages is adjusting all of the households' rents annually so they're moving at that pace currently. the thr and r is stated somewhat differently, but they say your rent in the replacement unit will be the 2,000 rent adjusted per all the cumulative allowable rent board adjustments since 2011. it has some provisions if you're now required to pay utilities because the existing residents, the utilities were included in the rent. if they were required to pay utilities, that would be an adjustment for that type of a cost. generally speaking, it's their rent at the time of the dda adjusted per all of the

cumulative allowable adjustments that have occurred since. >> the other question has to deal with the number of units. you indicated here, right now, those numbers, i thought the process is trying to determine the profile even at this stage of every household. we know the numbers of the pre-dda, and we know them so the number of units are not going to be determined until the time of move. it's going to be way down the line. right now, we're trying to count the number of units. we only have an x amount for everyone in that universe. so you're waiting to that line to down the line to determine. why is that? even now, you know the age, the ye
