9:00 pm
so the public could see the benefit of the bnds. so just wanted to state that for the record. also 4840 mission, that has a better story. by our engaging in development at that site, it opened up on additional development opportunity at the adjacent site which will lead to an additional 75 units of affordable housing through a sort of joint venture arrangement. so we're really excited about that. ok, so you can see the level of disbursed and encumbered and the funds for the various categories. i can tell you now that all the funds have been 'em cumbered, so we're well on our way to expending those bond proceeds and this money will help to
9:01 pm
develop 840 affordable homes. and we're also really excited about the next bond issuance, $146 million, it will be the second issuance wrapped up by next week. and we expectll the funds to be fully disbursed by the end of 2020. i'm happy to answer questions. >> ms. chu: mr. bush? >> mr. bush: i had an opportunity to talk to kate hard hartley, she was very informative. i think -- a minute or two, to put context into the housing bond. because the housing bond is a little different than the bonds we have. on the others we have the city doing the construction and this one, it's not the city. what happened in many bonds is that there is not as much specificity as you expect, which
9:02 pm
makes it harder to evaluate, that people are getting what they thought they were getting. that can be advantage in how we spend the money and it can be a concern for people in the community. for example, if you thought a park was coming in by you and it's not going to come in by you, you don't know for sure why that is. what i want to make clear is the that the city is not gaining the bond, it's not playingolit with it. there a dreevelopments that require the city to be more nimble in how its spending money. some of the ones that need to be acknowledged is the north bay wildfires, that destroyed hundreds of homes. the explosion in construction in the city. both ofch created a heavy demand for trained workforce and fort heavy demand on materials for construction. then you can look ahead and say,
9:03 pm
well, we have a pretty good amount of money intended for public housing, but that public housing will require section 8 vouchers for the residentsn order to stay there. and now, the trump administration, and secretary carlson from my old agency of hud, wants to change the rules. and the rules would be you would no longer be able to deduct the cost of medical care or childcare. so in effect, it's going to relower the amount of money that residents will have and some of them will lose their housinhous. so it's important to realize that as we work in this environment, whether it's natural disasters or a political disaster in washington, we still have to be able to adjust to it.
9:04 pm
it doesn't just trickle down on us, it cascades down on us. we will never have the money to build our way out of the houses crisis. what we can do is provide some sort of bulwark that protects some tenants from the wor effects of what is going on. it's going to require that we listen to the community and communicate well with the community as changes take place, rather than after the fact say this is what happened and why we did it, but this is what we're going to do and this is how we'll do it. 250 laguna, is a good example. there were a large number of people that came to our meeting and asked us to address their concerns. change does meet their concerns, it wasn't prompted by their
9:05 pm
concerns. it was prompted by real situations on the site. one kind of wish they did same work at the millennial towers, but that's a problem for somebody else than us. is there anything in addn in looking at ctext of this stuff you want to say to the committee? >> i would just say that there is a new report out by the research and consulting firm, turner and townsend, they do global analytic work on the couction industry and san francisco is -- they have determined tha sanfrancco is the second most expensive place to build in the world, behind new york. they also have found that in 2018, we can see further cost increases in construction to the point where they've called san francisco an overheated market. and that we have -- we're really struggling with a lack of skilled labor.
9:06 pm
and so i think thate as policymakers, need to be cognizant of these changes, because they will affect our workforce, and to protect our most vulnerable residents and maintain a safe and healthy community and city. so this fund is important and it's part of our larger effort and we really have to think wholistically given the macro economic challenges that we have. >> mr. bush: thank you. i took a little more time than ordinarily, but i think the context of this is important. we're about the only place that the public gets to hear answers to these kinds of questions. it really doesn't take place at this level at any other city
9:07 pm
departments. that before us, goes beyond our jurisdiction, more apprentices being trained. they'rs weleed to be aware of and impact what it is we're doing. so thank you. >> ms. chu: thank you, ms. hartley, the consulting catastrophe -- study that you referenced, that san francisco is the second most expensive place to build, could you forward that to us? >> i would be happy to. >> mr. hughes: the public expenditure dollars that are shown, that's outside of rad, correct? >> yes, that is outside of rad. >> ms. chu: mr. carlson? >> mr. carlson: one, on the summary report, it's quite watered down from last report.
9:08 pm
and did not include the fact that these are the 2015 affordable housing bonds. and as of what date? i would appreciate on future reports go back, so it's a little more. >> sorry about that. >> mr. carlson: and i really appreciate theetailed report. there is a lot of great information in that. on page 27 of that report, the total number of affordable units that are projected to be created is a 1388. and in the last report it was 1785. so somewhere along the line we lost about 400 units. it looks like about 250 are in the low-income housing that may be from switching from laguna honda to the other two. but the middle income housing
9:09 pm
that dropped by 170 units and i didn't see discussion of that. maybe you could comment on that. >> there was a loss of units projected i t low-income housing unit because of the reallocation of funds. also because of rising costs,e have been able -- we have had to spend more on a per-unit basis for projects. also, the same is true of the middle income housing. we projected, even a year ago, we projected a certain per-unit subsidy that because of the costs and also at the federal level, i didn't mention this, but with the federal tax reform act that was finalized in december of 2017, we lost approximately $50,000 in equity per unit from our low-income housing tax credit program. the only source of replacement for those funds is the city. so we're facing dual challenges,
9:10 pm
less assistance at the state and federal level, and higher costs. so that is resulting in higher gap funding on a per-unit basis from us. but we can go back and give you more specificity on exactly where those differences are. >> mr. carlson: ok, and then on page 29, there was a column estimated progress towards construction completion. and it looks like in public housing from six months ago, that estimated construction progress rose by 5%. so there was a 5% -- each of the other categories remained exactly the same, does that mean in the last six months, there has been no progress on completion? on those other categories? >> no, it's just -- it reflects the fact that the completion date -- sorry, the progress date
9:11 pm
on paper tends to be static as your predevelopment process ensues. so we might be in predevelopment for one, two, three years and it looks like -- it's called predevelopment, but in fact, we make strong progress towards the big milestone of a construction loan closing and construction commencement. so we have made good progress on all of our projects. as i mentioned, all of our first issuance bond funds are encumbered, we actually broke ground on sunnydale parcel q, the first public housing project in sunnydale, after march 2018. so it wasn't reflected here. so there is good progress happening. and we will have expended all those funds by the end of the year. >> mr. carlson: is there an opportunity for members of this committee to tour a project site
9:12 pm
and see some of that progress? >> sure, yeah. we would be very happy to have you tour potrero parcel x. that was the first public housing development at sunnydale and pore it's scheduled for completion this year and used bond funds for the development. and seeing the new construction relative to the existing conditions at the site, would be great. it would be really instructive. >> mr. carlson: thank you very much. >> i'd like to go on that. >> ms. chu: i do have a question. on the quarterly report on page 27 tha mr. carlson just referred to, if you look at the lower part, under the heading, middle income housing, $80 million allocated, the line
9:13 pm
items are quite specific below that, and i was just wondering, going down to the third one, middle income teacher housing 43rd and irving. can you shed some light and elaborate a little bit on this type of assistance, the teacher housing, how it is generally, the concept, how it is actually the policy is? and this is specific, it caught my eye because it said 43rd and irving, what about some of the other areas in the city? >> well, the city has worked with san francisco unified for many years to try to develop housing because -- teacher salaries are in my personal opinion, not what they should be and teacher's salary, it's hard to afford market rate housing in san francisco. so there was a lot of back-and-forth for a long time and then finally mayor lee couldn't take it anymore and
9:14 pm
directed us and the school district to pick a surplus site that the school district controlled and gosh darn it, build house organize on it. so -- housing on it. we have been working successfulith t school district. they have a site at 43rd and irving, they own it, control it, so they can donate that land. one of the obstacles was fair housing limitations on your ability to restrict occupancy in a building that is publicly subsidized to one employment category. so we worked with then senator mark leno to get legislation passed at the state which allows us and every locality in california now to create teacher housing on publicly subsidized -- with public subsidies on school district
9:15 pm
lands. so all that put in motion what is going be, i think, a great development at 43rd and irving. so teachers, in addition to having a hard time earning -- affording market rate rents, they typically make too much to afford our housing that we build with low-income housing tax credits. so this is middle income housing for in-class room educators that this bond will be funding. in addition, we're going to have a component of this development funded with low-income housing tax credits to serve para professionals. really vital employees like, special needs aides and classroom aides and other in classroom instructors who are not teachers. their income is lower and they do qualify for tax credit
9:16 pm
housing. we picked a developer about a month ago. and we're on our way to the design. >> ms. chu: thank you. you gave us a lot more information than i wanted, but i'm glad to know that you're actively working to clap collaborate with the school board to carry out the funds. >> sorry about the long windedness, i'm really excited go b that project -- about that project. >> ms. chu: public comment on the bond? seeing none, next item. >> item 6, presentation from various departments about the 2010 and 2014 eser bonds and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation.
9:17 pm
>> good morning, my name is charles, i'm senior project manager and program manager for the safety and emergency response programs, 2010 and 2014. you all are very familiar with the components of our respective bonds, 2010, 2014, so i won't belabor those. i'll jump right into the overview, executive summary. in regard to highlights and accomplishments, we're very proud to tell you that of the 30 cisterns we committed to deliver upon for the sake of the reliability of the awss/efw
9:18 pm
system, they are all complete. that's quite accomplishment. in regard to fire facility, we have also recently completed the deal for fire station 5. those who drive down turk and webster will have seen that impressive array of steel up in the air and our project is well under way. our project manager will elaborate on that more in her portion of this presentation. similarly, fire station 35, the fire headquarters is moving forward quite well. parenthetically we're presenting to the conservation commission in the month of june. and that's a very important date for us, again, our pm will speak to that. on the police side of the equation, we have recently demolished the old parisian
9:19 pm
bakery. that is a most certain sign of the construction work to emerge. again, our manager will speak to that. and finally, as you all know, bears repeating, the medical examiner facility inaugurated last year, is fully in operation and we received final completion of certificate in march of this year. i won't touch on upcoming milestones because i don't want to steal my pm's thunder, so i'll ask them to speak to those. in regard to bond sales and appropriation, we have sold all of the bonds that pertain to eser, certainly 2010, but in most recent time, 2014. the final close for the bond sale will be this week, may 23. in regard to risks issues and other concerns, you know we've said this many times over the last couple of years, i think, we have a very challenging
9:20 pm
marketplace that really puts us in a very interesting position, sometimes at a disadvantage in regard to reconciling our project ambition, the scope and quality of the work we'd like to accomplish with the funds we have available to us. please stand by.
9:21 pm
. >> i'll speak about the neighborhood fire station first. i'll start with fire station number 16. so as charles already mentioned, structural steel for fire station 16 haseen completed, and roofing and building envelope has progressed, and we experience a very small delay due to the
9:22 pm
weather condition. rain delays -- that has already caught up, so we are already on schedule. and utility wrap ins are already scheduled. the final completion is projected in september of this year. fire station number five, still completion ceremony was held on the 26, and that was capped by the pouring of the concrete and second and third floor. almost a month ago we poured the concrete slab on grate, and this project is tracking on completion and budget. completion is scheduled for december of this year.
9:23 pm
[inaudible] >> good morning. my name is sherry katz, and i am the director of sometime projects. exterior envelope package four, the mpp went to the contractor on 5-14, and that's underway. f-bay door and ancillary work, bbr has completed about one fourth of those now. that's in completion for the special four-fold doors. up coming milestones, at bay door package three, there are ten fire stations, and the notice to proceed went to the contractor on may 9.
9:24 pm
roof package five, there are six fire stations, and that was -- that's in substantial completion. envelope package two, fire station 24 and 34, that -- the bids are due this wednesday for those two projects? and showers package 2 will advertise in the next two weeks. >> my turn. i will come to you with fire station number 35 which completed concept design phase at the end of january and went middle of schematic design. we need to obtain a permit from bcdc brb, and we scheduled our second presentation to drb on june 11, so we are in middle of preparations for that presentation. but the project is still on
9:25 pm
track, there are no major issues with the project at this point. and pier 26, a temporary electrical work has been installed and one boat is able to moor at pier 26, and we are proceeding with security electrical and perimeter fencing which we anticipate to finish at end of june, beginning of july. and i will now turn it over to emergency -- to. [inaudible] >> david myers. >> -- to david myers, yeah. >> david myers, sfpuc, project manager. air quality monitoring panel to arrive for pump station one so we can install that and do some subsequent control panel programming so we can close that project out.
9:26 pm
we have four new diesel engines to drive the sea water pumps at pump station one, which also happens to be fire department headquarters. so we hope to wrap that up in the -- roughly in the july time frame. pump station two is our other major sea water pumping facility for the abss, and that project is in construction. we're doing hazardous material abatement and historic arti fact preservation at the moment, and then we'll move into the structural improvements that we plan to do in that building. we had intended to advertise or abss pipeline grochlt contract in may. it looks like that'll be in june, and that involves a series of motorized valves including a new water supply on clarendon near summit
9:27 pm
oir.rv for eser 2014, we are in construction on irving street pipeline. similarly with ashbury bypass pipeline, we're waiting for that to get another way, a public works project and finally mariposa francois. and a good portion of that pipe is already installed on what's about -- which will eventually become the rhea lined terry francois boulevard. up coming milestone we're joining with a public works pipeline to connect on 19 avenue. and we have another project
9:28 pm
known as ingleside university mound. more pipeline. university mound is in the eastern part of the city. ingleside is more in the southwest. we would be prepared to adrtise that however as charles mentioned with the bidding environment and so on, other ex-pensions, we're having to nbe able to evaluate whethe we're able to execute that contract with the funds available, so we'll be able to close that out as we get more accurate projections on the various projects. any questions i may answer in thank you. >> i have one -- i have a question. >> please. >> so the high-pressure water system is -- these improvements you're doing at puc? >> at puc, yes, owns the asset and -- >> not public works? >> we are performing the work and responsible for it, but several of our projects are part of a public works contract. for instance, paving or
9:29 pm
something along those lines. so we join in to avoid disrupting an area multiple times and to share in the instruction management costs. >> the cistern contracts -- >> those were all cistern, and they were all public works contract. >> okay. >> i would like to ask a question, if i may. >> oh, mr. bush has a question. >> i don't know if it goes to you. it's a little bit hart for me to parse which one of you is responsible for which fire stations, what is road work having on the ability to get fire stations out of the trucks and get to where the fires are. >> commissioner, there is a
9:30 pm
member from the fire department that is here that could respond. >> i know on the embarcadero, it's hard to get anyone from the fire station. >> assistant fire chief anthony rivera. >> are you having problems because of traffic getting out of the faire station and where the fires are. >> throughout the city? >> along the embarcadero is what i'm aware of. >> so along the embarcadero it is challenging for engine 35 to respond. there has been an uptick in usage along will promenade area. i don't know if you have seen the station. it's set back quite a bit, and we want to ensure that public safety is held in the, you know, highest regard.
9:31 pm
it is challenging at times, especially on the weekends or whether there's events for the fire engine to not only leave the station but then to respond along the embarcadero there's a lot of activity constantly going on, and honestly, it's throughout the whole city. most of our stations are seeing a lot more activity around them. i'm not sure if it answers your question. >> well, only to the extent that building fire stations that are seismically correct and better suit the firefighters is important, but being able to get the fire trucks out of the station to where the fire is is equally important. >> absolutely. >> and i'm not sure who is whose responsibility that is to coordination. it can't obviously be the fire department by itself. it has to be mta. i'm just not sure in what way you guys coordinate on that stuff. >> right. so i think most of our stations have been in their locations
9:32 pm
for quite a few years, and we have not built many new stations other than, i belie, station four, which is the public safety building on 4th -- or excuse me 3rd and mission rock way. other than that, i can't think of any new stations where we would put, you know, we would analyze response times. and if we did, i think we would work with mta and with dpw to come up with a location. >> i'm thinking about mitigation. do the -- to use my example, when cruise ships come in at the embarcadero, they shutdown the embarcadero so the traffic can't get there so that people can get off the ship and then go do what they're going to do and go back on. so there's a period of time which you cannot move on the embarcadero unless you're associated with that cruise ship. do you have anything like that
9:33 pm
for an emergency that take place where you need to get the fire station out and does someone stand out in the road and stop the traffic out there? >> so you're absolutely correct. there are times when the cruise ships come in and pd will shutdown a lane or even construction, so what we've instructed or drivers and officers is that when there is a lane closure, they are allowed to drive onto the muni street car tracks which go right down t center of the embarcadero. it's a little bit of a bumpy ride, but we don't mind. it gets us to the scene of the incident on time and a lot faster. >> thank you. >> all right. >> so for my colleagues, i remain frustrated that bond funds are -- general funds are actually being used for things like showers. this is more about the way this bond was written and what it's
9:34 pm
being used for. this is -- it feels like this is regular maintenance of these buildings, and yet -- and from a governance perspective, i have no idea how to govern projects that are this small. and so i wasn't here last meeting and i guys did meet with a capital planning group, and i think this was one oe things that i wanted to talk to them about. and it's my fault, but i think it's very frustrating to try and understand this bond. it's just the way the bond is written and the way we're using this kind of money, but i don't find it appropriate use. >> should i take that as a question or -- >> no. i think this is for my colleagues unless you want to talk to how this bond was written. i think you're executing on it the best way you possibly can, and i think it's a very responsible way you're executing on it?
9:35 pm
i'm just wondering why we're using capital funds in this matter. >> well, for the use of bond funds we're compelled to engage capital work a bit. it's a sustained life of 25 or more years, and so when we do an intervention in a facility, it is with that eye towards that. we don't do a fix-it projects or simple maintenance projects. that's not the scope of this -- of how we apply the bond funds. >> okay. are you updating showers? is that -- >> we are rhenvating showers for another 25 years of expected useful life. i would tell you this -- >> again, not -- yeah. >> -- fire stations in particular are distinguished among many other facilities in the city in that they are both places of residence and deployment of first responder individuals. >> oh, i don't have a problem -- showers should exist
9:36 pm
there and all that. i have a -- what we should seem like we have should funding in the fire department to support their buildings. normal maintenann fw ilding and so now instead of building a new fire department or new housing or new parks, we're using this for things that i think the bond fund shouldn't be used in. and again, i think this is the way the bond was written and presented to the voters. i don't think that you guys are using it -- yeah, differently than was expected, what was written for, so that's why i think it's a capital programs thing, saying we should actually fund it at our departments. they should have enough funding to employ ongoing maintenance of their facilities. >> i think they would all agree with you. i will say as the liaison, i have had ongoing conversations with charles and his staff. i think with regards to
9:37 pm
showers, they're not going in and repainting them or fixing this faucet or that, they're actually replacing, and they're replacing a number of them, so contractually they kind of meet the requirements, and i think that the staff are well aware that when these requests came in for projects that if they look like maintenance, those need to be run by the public finance office and the city attorneys to make sure that they meet the criteria. but it is of certain and also you know having bond funds more specifically defined what they go out, we've had that discussion, as well, so i agree with that. >> i'd just like to put a footnote in that when i was working in the mayor's office 30 years ago, we had discussions about showers, because there weren't too many women who are firefighters, so there was concerns about having showers for all the firefighter population. so i can understand the need to
9:38 pm
reconfigure fire stations to allow for the diverse populations that need to be served now out of the station. that doesn't mean ordinary maintenance, as you're saying. >> i would just like to add that i share the concern because one of the things that i saw when i -- in reviewing this is, you know, apparatus bay doors. and so they're not new -- the idea that a fire house has apparatus bay doors, the house gets called, goes into automatics, apparatus bay door opens. they've been on fire houses in san francisco the last 80 years. they're automatic. they are not originally installed doors. they've -- they've been maintains and removed and replaced in the past without a
9:39 pm
bond. so it gets a little hazy whether it's maintenance or capital improvement that that is, you know, a component of a structure that has outlived its life like shower installations or change in use because of the occupancy. you know, apparatus doors are in every other fire house. so at some point, every sippng apparatus door clearly has to be removed and replaced in the fire department -- and in the police department, for that matter. so again, no reflection on the administration of the bond dollars or the work performed, but it does -- i do share the concern that at what point is that routine maintenance -- expenditures that should be inside a departmental's budget or an expenditure that warrants a bond expenditure.
9:40 pm
>> i was just going to briefly highlight for the committee part of what you do each year is you report to the board of supervisors and the mayor regarding your observation on the progress of these programs. the issue that you're raising here has been highlighted by the committee in the past? it's really a direction that's not noted at the departments here today. it's rather a general observation that enhanced funding for kind of renewal needs and city facilities will take pressure off of future general obligation bonds and room within the program. so you will have that up, i believe, at your next meeting to discuss, and the committee could make a similar kind of point to the mayor and the board as part of this year's process. >> thank you. i'll next ask lisa zoe to come forward. she's the project manager for police facilities.
9:41 pm
>> thank you, charles, for the introduction. good morning, everyone. so for the 2014 police facilities program, we have a total of 15 total projects, of which six have already been completed? there's five projects that's currently under construction with one project in the final award phase. there's also two projects in the design phase, and one cancelled project? so onto the status of the various projects with recent accomplishments. m.e.p. package two, which is the mechanical, electrical and plumbing system upgrades and tenderloin police stations, it was advertised in january and four bids were received in february ? we will be awarding this project to the lowest bidder? the next project is the police facility renovation project. it includes structural strengthens, roofing replacement, etcetera. it was approved by dbi and the
9:42 pm
design phase has been concluded. next project is the northern police station richmond police station and taraval police station renovation. contrctor is moving along,nd and they have completed the site and drainage work at richmond police station. they've also -- are close to 80% done at northern police station. and the next project is the firearms simulation training facility at the lake merced range? the modular building was fabricated at an off-site facility and it was delivered and shipped to the site and placed on a foundation that was built by a different contractor. that work was completed and the mission police station renovation which is a structural strengthening project at this station is -- has completed 65% design? it's actually further along now, with upcoming mile stones on the various projects, the
9:43 pm
firearms simulators training facility was supposed to achieve completed construction in april 2018, but due to some late discoveries during construction, it's noing t be completed this monthnd it's actually substantially completed. and the building is done. the simulation system was installed and has been, you know, setup and it's working? next project is the park and ingleside police station renovation. the contractor had mobilized in april and they're actually in active construction right now? mission police station renovation. we're to complete bidding documents in may, which now it has been completed. m.e.p. package two, which is the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrade at bayview and tenderloin were to issue ncp within the next two weeks. any questions, i'd be happy to answer them? >> any questions or comments?
9:44 pm
>> thank you? >> here i am again to report on office of the chief medical examiner. as charles mentioned, the specifically final completion occupancy was received on march 30? building was open to -- for operations on november 6 of last year, and we literally have, like, a few items on the punch list by contractor to finish and then we are collecting unconditional waivers. we anticipate issuance of the city certificate of acceptance hopefully end of june. >> before we move on the next item, i would just like to extend our congratulations to the staff on -- on an excellent job on a marvelous project on getting it done on time and on budget and inside the scope. >> and if i may add --
9:45 pm
>> well done. >> -- we picked up an award on cmaa on friday, yeah, construction mement association of aca for t best project renovation -- major renovation project on the west coast. >> congratulations. any tours.e to see it if we do >> you'd like to tour the facility? we can arrange that. >> good morning. i'm the public works project manager for the traffic company and forensic services division. so my project is quite at the other end of development from the medical examiner's building. this slide is through march. there's been some significant development since that time, so i will update the bullet points as i work through it. hazardous materials abatement, complete. the contract issued to azul
9:46 pm
works, the general contractor responsible for that work. as charles mentioned a little bit earlier, the old parisian bakery building is demolished. the building is levelled, so it's the first real tangible site of accomplishment at that site at the corner of evans and toland. the construction manager general contractor, clark construction, was given an ntp last november . this project has a fairly unusual delivery method in that the cmgc comes on board with what we're calling a core trade subcontractor team. there's two phases of pr preconstruction services. the first phase we're in right now is solidifying to help
9:47 pm
bring the project to budget and their expertise as buildings. the first task that the cmgc team accomplished was to deliver an estimate of the schematic design that the architects are produced, and this is a design that had already gone through a significant overbudget redesign, reducing the estimated cost of the project by over $12 million last year, so those documents were issued with the rfp to bring on the cmgc team. clark and their team delivered this estimate in mid-january with an unpleasant surprise of a $30 million overbudget scenario, which we have taken on since then through cost reduction and value engineering to reconcile the budget. on april 30, i presented to the capital planning committee the work that we've accomplished
9:48 pm
which reduced that $30 million overbudget scenario to just under $7 million, and that led to -- with some escalation added to that to buffer some of the value engineering exercises that we still have to go through with a request for additional funding coming from the capital planning for just under $9 million, which would be -- was met with support. we have value engineered the building twice now, and part of the presentation was that to close that last gap would only be done through program reduction from the facility, and it's -- that is not something that was supported by the police department and the capital planning committee agreed that this was not a facility to do that, and that it would be supported to close that last gap. in addition to that, other progress being made, i state here in the bullet points that
9:49 pm
the site permit review is at the planning department. they've since cleared the planning department and is back at the department of building inspection, and we areopeful that that will be released in july this summer. the upcoming milestones, i believe i touched on the cmgc, the reconciliation. any questions? >> one question. the capital planning committee -- you said approved the 9 million -- just under 9
9:50 pm
million for the additional costs. does that then go to the board of supervisors for a general fund supplemental appropriation? >> it's not -- with a supplemental appropriation, it was approved by the capital planning committee as part of the general fund budget for the two year budget, so it will be included in the budget that goes forward from the mayor to the board of supervisors on june 1. >> thank you. if there's no questions on this project, then i'll just say as the liaison to this easter 2010 and 2014, i did meet with the staff on may 7 and went through the summary reports in addition to the detailed reports, and i want to thank all the staff for the work they've done on this. it's broad, there's a scope of the entire two programs is
9:51 pm
huge, but i believe they are moving it forward and the city will benefit from the work that's being done. so thank you. >> thank you. thank you, commissioner, fore those kind words. we have two final slide which i'll go through quickly. the first is our status of budget and financial plans. you can see we're substantially expended and appropriated at 89%. there's a few projects that you've heard about this morning that are the balance of the work to occur, and we will be wrapping that workup within the year. >> well, yeah, i will comment on that because i -- again, the data there on expenditures is not current, it's not complete, and it's not accurate. i appreciate very much the controller's, ben's, comments, that next time around, by the end of june, we'll start getting some reports because i
9:52 pm
do think there's significant -- that's our primary goal is to overview expenditures to make sure they're in compliance with the bord authorization, and without reports, which literally cannot do that. >> thank you. and consistent with that, we are appropriated at 56% and expended at 29, rather, for ace year 2014. and with that, we conclude our report and invite any additional questions or discussion you'd like to offer. >> any other questions from the committee? so seeing none, we'll open it to any public comment. seeing none, let's go onto the next item. >> clerk: item seven, presentation from recreation and parks about the 2008 and 2012 parks bonds and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation.
