>> without much ado, let's start order of business. >> for the record this is june 13th, 2018, treasure island commission meeting. [roll call] we do have a quorum. >> thank you. next item. >> item 2, general public comment. to allow members of the public to address the treasure island

development authority board on items that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the authority board and that do not appear on the agenda. in addition to general public comment public comment will be held after each item on the agenda. please state your name and any organization you are representing, if any, for the record. >> president fei tsen: any members of the public who would like to address the authority, come up please. >> hi, directors. i'm hunter cutting and i'm representing save clipper cove today. as you may know, on april 30th, the land use committee of the board of supervisors passed a resolution preemptively rejecting the marina expansion proposal you approved october 30th last year. the supervisors who approved included supervisor tang, supervisor safai and supervisor kim. as a result of that action,

treasure island enterprises approached the offices of supervisor kim to suggest more discussion which his office conducted over the following four weeks. as a result of those discussions, the final round of which included your staff director bob beck. an agreement was reached to reduce the scale of the marina down to 18% of the cove. this is a reduction from the proposal you approved to expand the marina over 32% of the cove. on tuesday june 5th, the board of supervisors approved an amended resolution calling upon tida to take several actions and taking note of the smaller footprint, the 18% footprint is consistent with the vision of marina expansion, as put forward, in the original reuse plan for treasure island.

the board of directors made several calls upon the treasure island development authority and i encourage you to take a close look so we can resolve these issues now and not have a similar dynamic going forward the next time this goes to the board of supervisors. among issues i would flag are one, the board calls upon you to provide consideration for current berth holders with small and medium sized boats. also calls on tida to take responsibility to address and mitigate saltation that may occur in the cove, that poses a risk of salting up the cove and reducing public access. the city is currently paying $500,000 a year to address unexpected saltation at the san francisco marina. we hoped we wouldn't see that scale of saltation with this project as it's now been down sized but nevertheless remains a threat and tida is responsible for addressing that

threat. we have an environmental analysis set up, according to the e.i.r. the environmental impacts won't be addressed until it gets to the permitting stage for dredging. that is a backwards way of putting things. the city of san francisco shouldn't approve any marina project until the environmental analysis is done up front less we end up with a unexpected surprise at e.c.d.c. we are encouraged to approve a much smaller footprint marina, we think it's more appropriate but there are additional details to deal with and i have a letter i would like to submit for the record. thank you. >> president fei tsen: thank you. are there any other members of the public, please come forward. >> hello, commissioners, my name is jay wallace. nice to be here. thank you, hunter.

i basically wanted to reiterate what hunter cutting just mentioned. we agreed to reduce the size of the marina. we are standing here on a positive note looking at completing the project and completing part of the master development as its been considered. bob beck did a great job of helping us get to this solution. i also want to thank the office of supervisor jane kim and her aid bobby lopez who worked very hard on getting us to a solution we think works. basically what hunter said, i agree with. i think there is one tiny little nuance we had envisioned that the board could, of course, this board, tida board could of course review the revisions to the lease that will be necessary based upon the new plan. the lease that was approved before needs to be updated. and when we had conversations,

we fully intend, we still have to get permits through joint aquatic permitting agency and host of other agencies, it's that point in time, my understanding we will be doing the further environmental review. tida, of course, doesn't do that work. that work is left for the appropriate regulatory bodies and we will, of course, as hunter said, be addressing the dredging issue and other environmental review issues in front of the appropriate governmental bodies. but all in all, we are excited. we want to thank hunter who worked tireless in his efforts and behalf of all the organizations he is representing, we will have a marina. smaller. not quite as large and robust as we had hoped but it will still be an important part of the future of treasure island and thank you very much, and we look forward to building a marina treasure island. if you have any questions, i'm happy to answer. >> president fei tsen: thank you. i have a question of mr. beck.

what next are the steps? when will it be coming back to the board? and will it go to b.c.d.c. before or after? >> we are in the process of reviewing the original lease with t.i.e. and making changes reflecting the change and scope of the marina. we anticipate bringing that back to the board of supervisors before it goes to b.c.d.c. >> president fei tsen: okay, great. thank you very much. anybody else? hearing none, next item, please. >> item three, report by treasure island director. >> thank you, directors. i was going to lead with the marina discussion but we just touched on that through public comment. the may treasure fest flee

market on treasure island drew big crowds being a holiday weekend. but the traffic was well managed and there weren't significant traffic impacts despite the many detours and roadway closures we have on the island. last week, last friday, deloitte consulting hosted a stewardship day on y.b.i. working with peter summerville from our staff and peter brastow and other members of the department of environment. on the night of june 21st into the morning of june 22nd caltrans will be closing the westbound on and offramps. the newly constructed on and off ramps on the east side for maintenance. the westbound onramp on the

west side of treasure island will still be available. over the last month, we had a suggestion box at the ship shape and an online survey we circulated to residents through next door to get suggestions from residents about possible improvements we would like to see in the residential neighborhood and we are evaluating some of those for implementation over the next year or two. we also will be having a project poll intern this summer. they start next week. and we will bring them to the july board meeting to introduce them to the board. in the field with construction, the improvements to the forest road detour alignment have been slowed by encountering of the utilities but that detour is expected to be completed so the

mccullough road closure could occur in august. the contractors are also boxing some of the specimen oak trees on buena island that would be impacted by construction of mccullough road for relocation to treasure island while side work goes on, on y.b.i. and then they will be replanted on yerba buena island in the future. all the buildings have been converted from natural gas to propane. including the residents on the coastguard campus and natural gasser advice to yerba buena island next week. the first step in the geotechnical work is under way,

with a second rig arriving on the site today and two more scheduled to mobilize in july. with that, the compaction is scheduled for july. in late july, early august, the contractor, developer will be modifying the southern shoulder of 9th street to provide a lane for transport of surcharge materials from the stock pile on the east side of job corps campus to the sub phase one area without going into roadway traffic. t.i.c.d. is also preparing the demolition package for the site of the new wastewater treatment plan with the expectation that will be advertised in august. sorry, will be advertised in july. and take bids in august.

on utilities, tida, the public utilities commission, department of emergency management met with the u.s. coastguard earlier this month to discuss coastguards programs on the island and concerns about the recent problems with the electrical cable beneath clipper cove. partially in response to that, we will be relocating one of our two existing generators. they are capable of pulling the entire electrical loads on both islands and by relocating one of them on yerba buena island there will be back up in the event of failure by the other cable. at&t long distance has a line that cuts across treasure island but does not serve the island and they are in the

process of relocating that to the rip rap with the perimeter of the island to avoid conflicts with construction, after the completion of clipper cove they will go into a more permanent alignment along clipper cove boulevard. we are also -- betty is working to plan for the relocation of commercial tenants to clear sites for the installation of the future gas main regulation station, as well as new electrical switch gear on the east side of the island. the final map for treasure island is scheduled for a director of public works hearing on june 27th, for consideration of the board of supervisors on july 31st. we are working with the navy, fourth land transfer which includes the child care site in july. we are also continue working with department of labor on

permanent construction easements along california and avenue d. as well as potential long-term plans for the job corps center site. in conjunction with relocation of entrance of fourth street onto avenue h, job corps requested we install additional lighting on fourth street, as well as some speed humps to slow traffic on fourth street and we are in the process with d.p.w. and the public utilities commission. we believe we will have an i.t.c. meeting next week as well as a july board meeting but don't currently anticipate the need for an august board meeting, or july and august infrastructure and transportation committee meeting. that concludes my report. >> thank you. directors, any questions? >> thank you, robert. bob. just wanted to ask where are we

with transportation since the last time? >> i'll be at the i.t.c. next week. i will be having, doing a presentation with kind of an overview of the timing of transportation services. and anticipate having the tima present on the planning for autonomous vehicle shuttle at the july board meeting and a discussion of ferry service at the september board meeting. >> thank you. secondly, i know for the ongoing housing, were there any meetings since the last time? >> on the housing discussion? >> yeah. >> there were workshops, a couple workshops at our prior may board meeting for people interested in homeownership opportunities and there will be a spanish presentation on

homeownership opportunities at the end of this month. and we have been working with the relocation consultant on getting letters out to residents and i'll be updating that further in one of my presentations today. >> thank you. >> thank you. any other questions? next item, please. >> item 4, communications from and received by tida. there were several residential advisories, newsletters and publications among others. >> any comments by the board on communications? >> i had a question. i saw in one of the communications the island museum raised this issue about restoring a fountain. something about it being in a particular location on the island. i'm unclear of what the situation is, is that an existing fountain that is

currently on the island and is part of the regriding work. would that be affecting it? >> so that fountain is a, it's a glazed terra cotta fountain made up of many component pieces. the pieces of that fountain are in storage on the island. and it's been in storage since before the navy closed the base in '97. so it's been in storage and one of the things we will be evaluating is if there's a way to, a location where we might restore it and install it in future develop m. -- development. but that belongs to tida and it's in storage. >> would that be part of the landscape improvements? >> yeah, it could potentially be incorporated into the landscape on the island.

we haven't kind of found the right location for it yet but that's one of the opportunities, either in the landscaping or one of the plazas. there's also neighborhood pocket parks throughout the residential area. so there's a number of potential opportunities. >> yeah, i would think we have a lot of great opportunities for something like a fountain and we seem to have space for it, it would be nice to take it out of storage and put it back in use. >> there was one element of the fountain which has, not quite certain at what point it disappeared but it originally had two whales that were at the center of the fountain. the fountain itself is a map of the pacific. it has a topographical type of texture to it, so it indicates the islands and so forth. and in the center of the

island, there were two, i believe brass whales that spouted water and what the fate of those was is unknown. but we have all of the terra cotta pieces. >> let me say i had the pleasure of meeting the admiral john bittoff who happened to be the commander of this region and before he left his office, he did find the pieces of the fountain and so it has been packed away. and what has to happen next is for us to see whether it's feasible to put the fountain back together and where there's a location for it and i would like in a future meeting to ask admiral john bittoff to come and talk about treasure island and his years here and particularly about this

fountain which was there during the world fair. thank you. and then the other thing, bob, i would like to ask you about the memo which came about tetra tech's work. which is just a series, a listing of different links to their work but i'm hoping that the staff will give us a summary of the work that has been done, not just the lengths but actually an assessment and analysis. i think the board, plus the public needs to make sure that, in fact the work that's been done on treasure island is going to be sufficient and will create all of the health hazards there might be. >> yeah, we have been working on a write-up on that with our

environmental consultant langan and associates and expect to have that finalized before the july board meeting. >> i would like to note for the board and the public, the y.b.i. stewardship, the habitat restorations which are happening every third wednesday afternoon and we have a communication from them. every month they go out. [off mic] the other thing i would like to note is the treasure island news. there's a newsletter put together by a working group of residents and it has a lot of information about what's happening on treasure island. it's absolutely great. it has a calendar. it also talks about the summer camp for treasure island children which will happen at the tenderloin community school and various other happenings on

treasure island. so those are interesting things of note. are there any other questions? if not, next item, please. >> item 5, ongoing business by board of directors. >> are there any items the directors would like to note? hearing none, next item. >> item number 6, consent agenda, 6a approving minutes of the april 11th 2018 special meeting. 6b resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a professional services agreement between tida and toolworks inc to provide janitorial services for a month to month term commencing july 1st 2018 and ending june 30th, 2019 in an a mamt not to exceed $255,000. item 6c resolution approving and authorizing the execution

of a professional services agreement between the tida and one treasure island for fiscal year 2018-2019. item 6d resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a professional services agreement between the tida and rubicon enterprises, a california non-profit public benefit corporation. [reading agenda] to extend agreement between tida and hawk engineers for as needed infrastructure engineering and support services for the treasure island, yerba buena island development project. resolution authorizing the 43rd

amendment to the treasure island land and structures master lease between the authority and united states navy to extend the term. and item 6h [reading item] >> thank you. what is the pleasure of the board? do i have a motion? >> yes. >> second? >> yes. >> all in favor say "aye". opposed? the ayes have it. next item, please. >> item 7 resolution authorizing the treasure island director to approve the recommendation of the treasure island arts steering committee and authorize the san francisco arts commission to enter into agreements with the selected artists. hello, jill. >> [off mic] on the progress of

the treasure island artist selection process. we conducted a competition, as you might recall to implement the first three projects that were included in the treasure island arts master plan. we had a very successful response, 495 artists from around the world applied. the process we undertook to reach the point where we are at today, where we have three artists with whom we would like to contract for either further refinement or resubmission of a proposal or actual implementation of a proposal, i would like to describe that process. the treasure island, according to the arts master plan, the steering committee selected and approved a selection panel that included five members, commission president fei tsen. beltran.

guest curator janet bishop from sf, and another curator from museum and sculpture garden in washington d.c., mika yishitaki. invited nine finalists to develop proposals. those nine finalists were approved by the steering committee, commented upon by the arts commission. and i hope you had the opportunity to view the proposals when they were on view in either the lobby of building one on treasure island, or at the war memorial where the arts commission offices are located. resulting from the public display we had 70 public comments. on april 17th, the selection panel was reconvened and the nine proposals were presented by the panel. most of the interviews took place via skype. although we had one artist

attending in person, pay white. the results of that meeting and subsequent comments from the arts commission and action from the steering committee are the reason i'm here today. we've sort of gotten the green light to progress with some contingencies. so i would like to tell you what the motions are and i am happy to show you the proposals and tell you a little about each artist, if you would like. one of the projects was for waterfront plaza and the selected artist was antony gormley. the panel had some concerns just about the emotional quality of the work and its aloofness from the general public. i'm happy to report that the

artist has agreed to not just modify but completely redesign the art work in response to the steering committee and panel's comments. additionally, pae white was another artist selected. again, the majority of the selection panel approved her work but had concerns about the visibility, views to and from building one of the art work and the artist was asked to redesign, reconfigure, rescale the art work so it's a substantial revision. those are two of the three motions placed before you today. we are asking the treasure island development authority to authorize the arts commission to enter into an m.o.u. with each of these two artists, pae white and antony gormley for specified dollar amounts so

they could redesign their proposals which will be reviewed by the arts committee of the arts commission, the steering committee before it's brought to tida. the third motion before you is for the treasure island development authority to actually approve entering into a contract for design, design development fabrication and implementation of the art work with hiroshi sugimoto on yerba buena hilltop park. it doesn't interfere with their operations. i would like to proceed to show you some images of the art work that's been selected. unless you have any questions at this point. and i'll give you a brief description of the proposal. alisa, can you help me with that? i think we will start with

antony. briefly i will say antony gormley is recognized as one of the most important contemporary sculptors in the world. he lives in england but does work all over the world and focuses on the human form. he has participated in major solo and group exhibitions. he has won the turner prize. and multiple other awards for his artistic accomplishments, he was knighted in 2014. so his proposal would be made of cast iron, it would be 49 feet high, 11 feet deep and 9 feet wide weighing 205 tons. though the design proposal will change, i think we can expect that he will be working in the

same material and it will be an art work of similar scale. it will be located on the north side of waterfront plaza. i'm pleased to report that conversations between blake, kevin and antony gormley have started about integration of the sculpture into the site. relation of bike racks, relative to the palms and california avenue and even the paving of the plaza that surrounds the sculpture and whether, the landscaping that may be adjacent or surrounding it. so those discussions are off to a very positive start. i imagine they will continue through the artists design revision process and i will report back to you in 2-3 months time regarding that.

the next, do we still have other images of antony's work? okay, the next artist -- oh, the motion before you is to enter into an m.o.u. with the artist for $35,000 to redesign the sculpture. and then the next artist is pae white. and pae was selected to develop a proposal for building one plaza. i actually have a little model of her proposal to show you. kate, may i pass it to you? also incorporate wind chimes. thank you. pae is based in southern

california though she does have a residence at sea ranch in northern california and spends her time between northern and southern parts of our state. pae, like the other artists, many of the other artists selected for the project doesn't typically apply for competitions but this project and the whole treasure island arts master plan in particular appeal today her. her work is in the permanent collection at sf noma, museum of modern art in new york to name a few. she states that her work tends toward reconsideration of the over looked, neglected, forgotten and forsaken and she works in a variety of media from fabric, metal concrete and glass. for this project she did research about the history of treasure island, particularly the 1939 world's fair and she

recognized there was an opportunity to remake a lost art work. she had seen a promotional video for the 1939 world's fair and she noticed behind the massive sculpture of the mythical figure pacifica in the seven seas, there was 100 foot tall silver chime curtain which tinkled the tranquil song of peace. she would like to propose a variation of that, give it depth, orient horizontally and in addition to creating sound, it would have numerous spinning elements of different sizes that would harness the wind coming off the bay. it would include an assortment of pattern and open work that would allow for a good amount of transparency to take advantage of the view of the bay, the city and the landscape, while creating pockets of intimate spaces. so at this point, the panel

liked her proposal but there were definitely concerns about the visibility of building one and vista from building one to the ferry plaza and the bay. so we asked her to really take a look at that. the configuration at one point spanned several components of building one plaza and the panel thought perhaps something that might have greater height and take up less of a footprint may be more appropriate so she will study that. we also had concern about the materials, their durability with the kinetic elements continue to really operate as planned given the strong winds, so we are going to ask her to make an engineered to scale model of the art work or a section of the art work to place it in the location in the building one plaza context so we can evaluate it over a

period of six months to make sure it doesn't rust, it doesn't corrode, that the coatings don't begin to flake, that the moving components still operate. and also, as i passed around, i don't know if you have the sound component, but we want to make certain that will be an asset, something that is lovely and not something overwhelming so we need to really evaluate it and the artist is very excited to have gotten this far in the process. very willing to redesign, reconsider, work with the landscape architect andrea cochran and come up with a revised proposal. here are images. here you could see different vistas, different perspectives looking out from the building to the bay. more of a detail. we also want her to evaluate

the pallete, it may be too vivid for the context and we think we can do that with the model she will create. so with your approval the motion would be to enter into an m.o.u. with pai white to come up with a revised proposal in the amount of $25,300. and then the next project by hiroshi sugimoto is foreur about a buena hilltop. he was born in tokyo. he is primarily known for large scale, very impressive photography but he started to work with architecture and sculpture over the last several years. there was an article last year in the sunday "new york times" magazine, an extensive article about his work in both sculpture and architecture. he recently performed a

commission to redesign the lobby of the hershwern museum. hiroshi has proposed a large monumental sundial for the top location on the south side of yerba buena island. it would have white marble that extends to a height of 11 feet and from then fabricated from stainless steel going up to the height of 66 feet. the point of the sculpture would only be 1 and 1/8 inch wide, that's why the panel had concerns this would not be considered a hazard in any way to the coastguard and the f.a.a.

i would like to report that preliminary conversations with the coastguard in f.a.a. conducted are optimistic and positive. there's an application process and bob has signed off on that, it will be, if it hasn't already be submitted to the f.a.a. and we will go through that formal process. hopefully gaining approval and being able to proceed with the implementation of this project. i want to also say this project itself was inspired by the tower of the sun from the 1939 world's fair. as i mentioned, it will be a monumental sundial and the artist states that from the tip of the shadow of the tower, he said the tip of the shadow of the tower will fall at noon on

the vernal and autumnal equinox and there will be a stone placed at that particular spot with vertical grooves in the polished flat surface at the precise observation of the position of the noon shadow. the entire sculpture is based on a mathematical formula of infinity. so it has many levels of meaning. but it will also be a beautiful destination for visitors and residents to the island. so, commissioners, i'm happy to answer any questions you have about the projects, or the process. >> i have some comments. but are there any questions from commissioners? ms. richardson? >> thank you, jill and for the record i also am a member of the arts steering committee. >> i'm sorry, i mentioned the selection panel, but yes, you are, of course.

>> i've had the opportunity to actually participate in all this, and i want to commend you, jill, several occasions, we had almost 1,000 art work to look at and you went coast-to-coast, even internationally to try to select these artists. and now we are down to those selections. as i mentioned to you before, and i will start with hiroshi sugimoto, i'm very empressed right now. i look at perspective when i look at art and his approach is mathematical. right now of the three that we have, there is no question about that and the last steering committee meeting we actually gave you the go-ahead. that's why you are here. concerning antony gormley and

pei white, i also saw their work and i know they have great potential. they are very well known and there is no question about that and we suggested they need to go back to do a rescale and come up with something that will be compatible. for me right now in regards to pae white, as i said at the steering committee and i need to state that right now. it's a landmark building and at the base you will have sculptures so to have art work takes away from that. what i have in mind, again, i only have one vote. it may be something of light that could beam into the building entrance or something dynamic. but this scaled version, i will look at that but i'm strongly looking at something that has a perspective in dimension.

that's what i'm looking at, from day one, when people get off that boat and they look and see open space and see the distinctive, when you look at hiroshi sugimoto, it incites conversation. regardless of the height. it's just basically what type of thing i'm looking for a singular art object. with antony gormley, he needs to go back and come up with something for that. i also understand and you need to reiterate to the public, there are also opportunities for local artists. you are actively exploring that. so i think yes, we should help you to move ahead so you can engage with all these artists, even for them to do a rescale is still costly and they need to proceed with the work.

we have the final say as to the selection. so there is still time to review and it might be some of this are best suited for parts of the island at the end of the day but at least the work has started. thank you. >> thank you, ms. fei. >> thank you for all your hard work on this. you were very clear about what the additional funding for pae white's evaluation would be used for. but i wasn't very clear, or i didn't quite understand what the additional $35,000 for gormley's art work would be used for. >> he is coming up with a brand new proposal. this amount is really consistent with the dollar amount the arts commission

would pay for development of a proposal. the competition was, i think the artist really out did themselves with their enthusiasm but we paid them far below our going rate just because there really isn't very much funding available at this point and we are relying on the generosity of t.i.d.c. to advance the funds. we discussed this dollar amount at the steering committee. chris is part of that and he concurred he felt like this was a valid, appropriate amount. it's also based on, to some extent, the amount of the actual commission, were it to be successfully awarded. and that would be a $2 million commission. >> is this additional money basically a stipend to further the design and they could use it for whatever purpose?

>> well, it's really artist fee and related travel expenses. it can only be used, it should only be used for this specific purpose. it's not -- it definitely has -- it's not sort of discretionary use. it's specifically to come up with a new design. >> okay. let's see, i actually agree with linda's comments or concerns about the appropriateness of having the screen art work interrupting the plaza. i am certainly not an art expert but as a lay person, when i arrive on the island and in front of building one, it always struck me as being a very civic kind of space. it certainly has a certain size

and drama to it and i just wonder what that, what the impact to the plaza would be to have an art piece that basically bisects the view to the water and vice versa. i think it's certainly prudent to further evaluate that and perhaps there's a different location that would be better for an art work like this. i really do like the fact that it does harp back to the history of the island. i think that's a really inspiring element. and then, let's see. so is the further studies we are funding here through the m.o.u.'s, if it doesn't result in a satisfactory proposal, what would the committee do at that point? do you open it back up to the finalists? >> very good question. i think i would have to go back

to the steering committee and seek direction from them. but i think we might actually just open up the competition again. but i really couldn't, i would have to consult with the steering committee. i don't believe in the ranking of the non proposals there were contenders who were, well, there were some other contenders so we could look at the other contenders, i don't know if commissioner tsen who served on the committee would like to comment. >> if i could. thank you, jill. it was a very thoughtful and consuming, time-consuming process. a lot of people certainly had their chance to comment on the art work. but i do think these first three pieces are so important for setting the tone for the island. it would be our first public pieces it's worth it to take the time to make sure what is

being done is going to be what will set the standard for the rest to come. again, i think if the artists who have been asked to give more conceptual designs back to us, if they are not satisfactory or if there's another direction which the steering committee would like to go, we can discuss it at that time but that process would be, but i would want us to have the courage to reconsider, if that, indeed is the case. and i think hearing from the tida board, we wait to see what the results of the conceptual designs are and then we will make the decisions about the next step. but there's much to consider. i think for antony gormley's case.

the particular image that he had was not as emotionally responsive as we would have liked, so we are asking him for more concept and with pae white, i think all of you have noted we do not want obstruction before building one and that's been heard loud and clear. so we will see what these artists come back with. and with pae white, particularly, i think the location and also the environmental effects on the type of materials she is about to use, we need to evaluate that. but i think we have had a great response to our call for artists and it's just refining and then going forward and then making decisions at the right moment. with that, are there any comments? yes, mr. beck? >> i just wanted to suggest one

change to the resolution. page 4, further resolve clause. line 2 currently picks up from prior line, authorizing the san francisco arts commission director of cultural affairs to enter into agreements with selected artists for conceptual design and then further resolve. wanted to suggest that it says enter into agreements small a, with recommended artists for revised design proposals for the waterfront plaza and building one plaza and for conceptual design, sorry, for design, fabrication,

transportation and consultation for the yerba buena hilltop site. >> we could incorporate into the motion. i just want to make sure, mr. beck, this is coming back to the steering committee? the arts steering committee before it goes forward? i'm talking about, not the resolution but the results of the conceptual design. >> oh, absolutely. the conceptual designs will go back to both the selection committee for their input as well as the steering committee. >> the steering committee. >> i think the selection committee has done their work so it's really in the hands of the steering committee advised by the comments of the arts commission. >> right. so the steering committee will have another time to look at it. so before we take -- this is an action item. so let's get comments from the public, if there are any.

hearing none, what is the pleasure of the board? >> okay, so, i am making a resolution and there is an amendment proposed by bob beck and i would want that sentence to be added to this resolution as read earlier. we are going to reiterate this will go back to the steering committee. for their assessment. >> good. and do i have a second? >> second. >> it's been moved and seconded. all in favor say aye. all those opposed? the aye's have it. thank you, jill. >> thank you so much commissioners and director beck. >> item 8, street naming convention. >> this is an informational item, i believe.

and for the north/south streets alpha, a-avenue, b, c, etc. when you get into residential neighborhoods, there were a variety of existing street names depending upon the era in which the housing was constructed. some of them drawing from names of naval officers and others drawing from names of fishes, chinook, halibut, flounder, sturgeon, etc. so with those conventions. but in planning for the future of treasure island, the team,

the developer worked with the treasure island museum as well as tida and in 2015 they recommended a set of street names for the island that had been incorporated through the mapping process in planning for the future. and knowing that several board members have come to the board since 2015, i wanted to kind of review that again with you so that you have a sense of the direction that we are headed and the inspiration for it. so as i mentioned, the existing street names that are incorporated in the planning documents are largely with the exception of california clipper cove, avenue of the palms

follow an alpha convention in north/south streets and numeric convention on the east/west streets. the inspiration the t.i.c. looked to for coming up with a new set of street names was the 1939 golden gate international exposition. a large number of the streets, particularly the major streets are drawn from place names that were within the exposition. there's also thought given to the type of street name designation. so you see it here four of the most important streets on the island, clipper cove avenue, trade wind, seven seas and avenue of the palm, so these are all avenues in this naming convention.

those names come from locations within the golden gate international exposition, seven seas, clipper way, the port of the trade winds as clipper cove was then referred to, as well as avenue of the palms. names in the north/south direction are again, drawn from place names within the community and these are streets and ways. and in particular i would highlight the two shared public ways that are in this area, the garden walk and siesta way are street names proposed for the shared public ways.

really trying to, again, reflect the nature of the shared public way as a pedestrian realm rather than primarily a vehicle realm. and these are locations within the exposition grounds where they drew inspiration from. and again touching back to our earlier conversation, the court of pacifica and peace makers mural that's where the sculpture that we were talking about during the director's report was located. again, some of the more secondary streets in the eastern side of the island, port way passage, blossom way,

farralon street all draw their names from locations in the exposition grounds. and then for the wind row streets and the garden streets they draw their names from artists and architects that contributed to the exposition. and the organization here is a little more structured. city side the wind row are streets and they are arranged alphabetically from the south to the north and then on the garden streets, they are again arranged alphabetically moving from the west to the east. and those are all referred to as lanes. if you are coming to the island and you are looking for a lane you will head to the east side of the island, if you are looking for a street, you are

going up the west de
