>hankyou. any comments from committee members. seeing none, can i have a motion? supervisor yee?

>> no, i don't have one. do you remember contacting my office? what is she doing. so i would like to make atoio r. >> and we can do that without objection. great. please call item number two. administrative code to require disclosure of candidate and third-party spending in retirement board, health service board and retiree health care trust fund board elections; set late filing fees and penalties for violations; specif that department of elections shall conduct these elections; and clarify the confidentiality of eligible voters' names and addresses. >> great. thank you. unless we have any comments from committee members, we're joined

by sofia kitlerrouper ssor cohen's office to present and to answer any questions. >> thank you for hearing this item today. my name is sophiakitl the item before you today is an update to the administrative code governing the process for representatives elected to the retirement board, retiree health care board. these boards, which include elected representatives from the fire department, the police department, and other, quote, miscellaneous representatives, are meant to ensure that the best interests are represented in the fiduciary making.

the retirement board take up issues such as fossil if you will investment and proxy voting for diver -- diversive pay. in constructing these amendments, the goal was to not become so burdensome that grass roots candidates are penalized from running. supervisor cohen respectfully asks that you accept the proposed amendments and continue this item to the call of the chair. members of the ethics staff are available to answer any questions. thank you. >> okay. great. maybe you or kyle can just talk about the different amendments here because there are quite a

few. you can walk us through them, so kind of in concept so they can be accepted. that efficient, deputy city attorney. >> yes, that is sufficient. i think a bef overview will trigger a continuance. >> do you want a copy? yes, i can briefly provide that summary. as sofia already highlighted, this is to bring in the candidates with more in line with what's expected for candidates for city offices. candidates for theseffices will have to file the campaign statements that you would normally see of typical candidates a. lot of their campaign communications would

include disclaimers. late fees and penalties and associated sort of consequences for any violations are to take a similar approach as well. not only does this sort of meet the expectations of a lot of people in terms of what candidates normally have to provide in terms of idacy. hopefully it will not only be something we're akin to seeing but that which is readily available to the public. >> i have a question. what is the current practice? i know we're changing it to bring it in line with what we have to do as elected officials, but what is the -- what is allowed under the rules now. so under existg law -- >> are there any filing requirements? >> they have to file sort of initial candidate statements or

disclosures, but they don'tave to file anything like campaign disclosure. they may need to include on their form 700, but this a more robust sc. >> the only people that can vote for these, is it any voter? >> it's different than regular elections. only city employees and retirees can participate, as opposed to any resident of san francisco. >> right. i wanted to get that on the record. supervisor yee? >> whatever is in here as amendments, you know, it's logical. i'm just curious. i've received these bts whatever in the past. i've never actually received any literature or any campai

anybody contacting or trying to get my vote for retirement board. is this a problem or something? i don't really know. i'm just curious. >> yes. so this isuamefore y tim on the board, but my understanding is in the last retirement board election, there as a significant campaign by specific union. a specific union, there's a seat that has historically been open to anybody running. there's a seat on the retireme board. there's aeat for the fire department, seat specifically for the police department, and then a seat that is open to everyone and has historically been represented by miscellaneous people, kind of -- you know, people like us. >> regular people. >> regular people. my understanding is in the last board election, there was a

significant amount of money spent by a union to outst the seated member. >> i just wasn't aware of it. the other question i have, currently, does the department of election actually send out these ballots? i thought it came from hr or something. >> yeah, it's largely run through the department of elections. although they receive assistance from human soursre or t retirement system to provide addresses and such. >> so the hr would share who would be current employee and also retirees. right. so the department of elections currently has to coordinate to find out who the eligible voters are for this kind of election, which are largely city employees or retirees. >> that remains the same. >> yes. there is an option under

existing law that remains unchanged. it could conceivably in the future be contracted out. historically, it's been done by the department of elections. >> that's no problem. >> any other questions from committee members? >> seeing none, so can we have a motion to accept the ame as proposed? >> all right. public comment first. any members of the public wish toentmm on this item, please comeforward. seeing none, public comment is closed. i would like to entertain a motion to accept the amendments as proposed. >> yes, i move the amendment as proposed. >> okay. can we do that without objection? >> without objection, the amendments are accepted. and then a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> continuance? >> that's what she asked for? >> my undstanding is it's

required since they were substantive amendments. >> please call the next item. 3. motion approving/rejecting the mayor's nomination for appointment of christine carr to the re iand development authority board of directors, for a term ending april 28, 2022. >> please come forward, ms. carr. >> good morning. supervisor yee, supervisor is a -- safai. thank you for having me come in to discuss my potential qualifications for the title of board of directors. i know you have a copy of my

resume. what i wanted to talk to you a little bit more was about me. i started my career at a very young age, i my ely 20s with two young children and the need to provide for them. rs were quite a struggle, both with long hours, long work weeks, shortage of money, and apartments i would soon like to forget. i have always hadnside of me the need for success, the driver to never quit, and along wh that, i endeavored to grasp the core competencies that i would need for home building business, land development, working with government agencies as well as all the entitlement processes. but what my resume doesn't say is that also along the way, i never forgot that struggling family. i worked -- whether it was within my office or within that community to always feel the need to bring people forward.

through my work on various boards such as family house with ucsf as well as during my career. i worked with habitat for humanity. very recently, one of the executive directors for the schoolyard program here in san fro. i feel that the combination of both my core competencies and the skill sets i've honed in the business and land development as well as my core values bring a great combination of my best skill sets that i can provide to the board for tida. thank you. i am available for any questions you might have. >> supervisor yee? >> yeah. again, can you -- maybe you stated it, but wt is the major reason why you actually want to do this? >> i'm sorry? >> what's the major reason why you would want to be serving on

this board? >> sure. what i feel is this i a community within san francisco that we have a rare opportunity of building from the ground. the programs that are in place for the treasure island give us an opportunity to wor w our community to build the housing, the transportation, and all of the systems from its inception through to watching that comnity grow and house families for our community. i'm very excited about that. it brings both my skills for building and my love of my community to that role. >> how often are you with treasure island? have you made frequent visits? >> i've been on the island. i'm about to take a tour with robert beck, and i've become familiar in reading all the documents, the maps, and the

progress so far. i've spoken with bob becker and getting at least the ground work, establishing ground work for my knowlee. >> currently, there are some n tdeasure island. what are some of the issues they're dealing with? >> from what i untand,here are the residents on the island, and there's both market rate housing that's available to them as well as affordable housing. it looks as the board of supervisors has put into place how they would be financially compensated as well as where th wo th moving expenses as well as future relocation onto the island. it seems that what the building plan calls for, in my research, is they would be staying in their units until the new units

would be built for them to occupy. >> okay. one l question. what do you think of the olympic -- what is it called? what do you call those people? that ride the boats? >> sailboats? >> yeah. >> marcus cup? >> i don't know. >> olympic team for sailing or something. what is it? i think it's in treasure island, right? >> the yacht club? i don't know. >> this is out of my world. >> are you talking about the people that do the sailing competitions? >> yeah. they can put an olympic team there. >> the clipper cove issue you're addressing? >> yes. >> from my understanding -- and, again, this is research i've done and it was b on presentations brought to you as the board of supervisors.

there's also an environmental issue with the sea grass. so it seems like they're striking a balance with that an the new developers to a good mix and what the right number would be for that. i know that that's in front of you. knoyou had a meeting in may about that. the agenda does not indicate what you're findings were or what your decision was, but i know those to be t issues in front of you. i stand behind finding that balance for sure. i support that balance. ain, it's an opportunity for us to create that. >> okay. >visor stefani. >> just one question. as you're aware, this seat was

filled by the director o mission housing. he had a nonprofit angle to this and brought that experience. i'm just wondering how you would add value to the commission and what experience do you have with building affordable housing, and how you see being able to fill that seat. >> of course. yes. i understand that that seat was occupied previously by a nonprofit builder. what i blame from both of my experience and my personal experience, as a builder, i have built all levels offfor able housing during my career. clusiory housing: i'm very much an advocate of the program they have at treasure island. i know of the 8,000 homes, there are 2,100 adable homes that

will be built. what i find and what i support is in that affordable number, those are all varying degrees of income. those are also built mixed in neighoods. this is not a specific site or a building. this is mixed in income neighborhoods, which i think is an excellent model and one i support thoroughly. >> and can you just expand on your experience withabitat for humanity and how you think that work might apply in this situation? >> sure. i find always a private public partnership works really well when you bring in partners that are committed to the same goals. ieel f i have great success. we contributed -- my company contributed both materials, workers. it was also a collaboration in the community. it gave the people in my company

an oppnity to work hands on with people of need in our community. after -- even after some of the programs that we got involved in, they continued that. i believe that's the bigger message, is that you built ingsomethhat will, on its own, continue. >> supervisor yee? >> treasure isle -- island, as you know, is in supervisor kim's district. >> yes. >> have you reached out to her and spoken to her and her staff? i have not heard from them. >> i did send supervisor kim an email telling her i would be before you today and offering, to the availability of my schedule, to meet with her. i received a generic message back, saying she would respond

as soon as she could, and i sent it to her staff person. i have not received a response to that from either one. >> when did you send that email? >> on thursday when i found out about this meeting. >> just to go back to the affordable housing component, how many units are going to be planned for treasure island? >> 800 total of residential. >> and howany are going to be affordable? >> approximately 2,100. about 25%. >> do you know what income levels they're targeting? >> i don't know the various. i know it is a wide range of income from homeless through varying degrees percentage of incomes in san francisco. i do not have the specifics on the program. >> and how many of them are affordable? >> approximately 2,100. >> that's a little over 25%?

>> correct? >> do you think that's the right number in today's san francisco? >> i do. for a couple of reas i believe that 25% is a balanced number. i also know that they're building -- some of the homes will be smaller units, much more on the entry level. you're meeting a need therewell. even though not included in that number will be more ofhat a san francisco price tag would be of an entry level. i believe we're going to, you know, cover a lot of the levels of need in our community >> this is not a criticism of the commission. we have one of our esteemed members in the audience right now, but the hunter's point shipyard in candlestick, that's going to be 33%. mission rock that was just negotiated with the giants and

the port, this board approved with 40% inclusionary. that's pushing more moderate and middle income. so there's higher numbers. this probably was negotiated at an earlier date, but one of the things that's happening -- and i know that supervisor kim as well as many other members of this board, it's about money. what would be a creative way you could think about or what would be a strategy that you would say would be able to get us to a higherercentgehan 25%? >> that is a wonderful question. i know that it is also a very complex one. i'm not sure standing for you right now. i could certainly give that some serious thought. i understand the need for affordable housing being such a critical part of what we develop and those numbers need to align with what we have in the

community. what that exact percentage is, i know that people who do alot more in-depth analysis would have ways to achieve that. i do want to go on the record as stated that i do support the affordable housing, and if there were, you know, opportunities that is definitely something i support. the current numbers and anything in the future. >> okay. any other questions from committee members? supervisor yee? >> no. >> okay. so what is the will of this body?

>> ms. carr has some qualifications i like. one of the things i'm a little hesitant to move forward with at this -- today is i really haven't heard from supervisor kim's office, and just respecting that it's in her district, i like to check off with supervisors in which it impacts most. so i'm a little hesitant to actually want to move this forward. maybe just continue this. we'll listen to the arguments. stefani.would be supervisor >> i had to cance meets just to put this on my schedule. i understandupervi kim was not able toeet with ms. carr. she didtry. i think if it's important, continuing it and allowing tat meeting to take place is fine.

i'm very impressed with ms. carr. i think sheld make an wanellent additionotida. to give her that chance if it's important. meeting can take place.uanceo >> i agree with that. again, just for ms. carr as well as the other committee members and those of the ic,bl we're in budget season. this committee has had to adjust. thank you for being flexible. norm normally, we meet at a different time. because of the aggressive schedule of this budget this year, we had to move it. we're having to move things quickly to make sure we keep the legislative process going. i would move for a continuance

for one week -- i think it's 27th >> two weeks from this wednesday. i believe you have a regular meeting come this wednesday. >> it's too late for that. >> the 27th would be the next one after that. >> yeah. okay. so we will continue ito the 27th that would be fine. >> great. >> that would give you time to reach out. that's sh we talked about as well. >> absolutely. >> also given the election -- and that was also something that's been upon us that caused a bit of a schedule adjustment for everyone, including supervisor kim. i would image it would be difficult to meet with her right now. why don we continue this item -- do we have a motion to continue this item -- >> i would also like to suggest -- when are you going on your tour? >> on the 22nd. >> perfect. >> what was the question? >> june 22nd. >> she's going on a tour of treasure island. >> just because of the uncertainty of a committee

meeting -- i don't want to say a date certain and we don't have a meeting on that date because of the budget. why don't we continue this to the call of the chair. and we'll get it on the next meeting. it will be sometime the following week. i just don't want to say the 27th and we don't get it. we have a number of special meets as well. we'll just say continue to the call of the chair. is that okay? okay. we'll do that without objection. thank you, ms. carr. >> i assume there's no public comment on that item. >> we didn't call public comment? i thought we d. >> any members of the public wish to comment on this item? please come forward. i think our esteemed commissioner is going to come forward to say a few words. >> surprise, linda. yes,asure island commission, we're working very closely with supervisor kim.

even with 25%, we're spending a lot of money to build the infrastructure at treasure island. i do, i agree with you. i'm housing the committee and even at that 25%, we're going to be coming back here to you all to help us find the fundso build what we have right now. so i think ms. carr has the credentials. after meeting with ms. jenkins, we'll let her know what we're doing to up the 25%. so it's a daunting task. right now, i think we're very cognizant of that. right now, i just wanted to lend that in. it's on your side, we're going to be needing all of your leadership and support to build affordable housing. we don't have the funds now, even at 25%. i just want you to know that. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. any other members of the public

wish to comment on this item. please come forward? >> public comment is closed. i would just say again for the record, ms. carr, given the condensed schedule, i think it was unfair to you as well. i think this gives us more time. as i said before, i think it's very important for you to meet with the district supervisor where the majority of the work is going to be happening. so i think this is an appropriate thing. please don't walk away discouraged in any way. i think you do have a significant amount of credentials that are very impressive, but i think it's important to have that conversation. okay? so then we made the motion to continue to the call of the chair. we'll most likely be next week. we have to find the date where 'reweoing to meet. great. please call the next item. >> class: item number four,

motion approving/rejecting the mayor's appointment of carolyn ransom-scott to the successor agency commission (commonly known as the commission on community investment and infrastructure), for a term ending november 3, 2020. >> good morning. i want to thank you, supervisor asha, safai. >> i'm not just correcting you. i'm correcting our deputy city attorney and other folks that have spoken this morning because they know me. i tease them a lot. it's safai. >> thank you. there you go. supervisor stefani. >> it's actually stephanie [phonetic].

departments operate. if approved by the supervisors, i will still be communicating with the hunter's point cac due to the fact m ofhe matters concerning ocii come before the hunter's cac committee. regarding our shipyard, we deal essd employment pen space, land with cac. housing, affordable housing, environmental planning and reuse, finance, recreation, workforce development, and community benefits. workforce development -- and i know it's a passionate area for spice sore safai. and he has worked hard to get that into his district 11. it would be such a help to this city with workforce development

and other loci through social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also, third thursdays will have music. that was rlly important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players

and drummers. >> we turned uc center and fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet, to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food, wine, cocktails, and the idea, again, is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is, you know, one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to

stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's ly great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me, and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up the middle or take a bank shot. >> our goal is to come out and have fun with their neighbors, but our goal is to really see in the comments that it's a place where people want to hold

their own public event. >> i think this is a perfect example of all these people working together. everybody's kind of come together to provide this support and services that they can toctivate this area. >> there's no one agency or organization that really can make this space come alive on its own, and it's really through the collective will, not just of the public sector, but both the public and our business partnerships, our nonprofits partnerships, you know, neighborhood activists. >> i really like it. it's, like, a great way to get people to find out about local things, cuisine, like, it's really great. >> it's a really good environment, really welcoming. like, we're having a great time. >> we want to inspire other

people to do this, just using a part of the plaza, and it's also a good way to introduce people if they're having a large scale event or small to the rigpeoph at the t yo commons so you can get your event planned. >> being a san francisco based company, it was really important to connect and engage with san franciscans. >> how great is it to come out from city hall and enjoy great music, and be able to enjoy a comtail, maybe throw a bocci ball or skee ball. i find third thursdays to be really

reinrig rat reinriggating for me. >> whether you're in the city hall or financial district or anywhere, just come on down on third thursdays and enjoy the music, enjoy an adult beverage, enjoy the skee ball; enjoy an adult playground, if youtoday. >> (clapping.) >> i've been working in restaurants forever as a blood alcohol small business you have a lot of requests for donations if someone calls you and say we want to documents for our school or nonprofit i've been in a position with my previous employment i had to say no all the time.
