staff have to come here and make public comment to look at what have we been discussing about building? i think this should be information that automatically is communicated with everyone, who is under the department of public health. the other thing -- although i don't think that is necessarily a sufficient thing that needs to lead d.p.h., because a lot of the work that happens is very administrative. so, you know, i think that it is parts of different brains for physicians to be able to diagnose the problem and also, at the same time, be the administrator that they need to be. so for me, i think of finding a balance is important. there are lots of great initiatives that have been

started by director garcia. i hope that whoever the next director that comes in, can continue to improve those initiatives in addition to adding their vision into the work. >> thank you. >> thank you. i also would like to thank everybody for coming down today and sharing your very significant thoughts on how you envision the director of public health and the city to move forward. in a way, your comments bring back a number of things we have discussed over years and something is what we will be discussing even in the future, today and forever. it is interesting that the city of san francisco, remember has always been a port city.

meaning people from all over the world, and whatever time they came, in the 18 nineties, 1910, people came as they did or they can't before then. going back to -- i don't want to go back before 1850, but they have -- we have always been a port city but we are also seeing history repeat itself in a sense the flu epidemic which we went through recently. take a look at 1917 and 1918. how many san franciscans died of the flu epidemic? san francisco general was infested with rats. the all wooden bungalows were burnt down and we have syrup door survived and we have continued on. guess what our concern is now? flu epidemics. all the viruses that have been going on unchecked. there are also raids in the city

we see san francisco taking down statues that reflect the tragedies and historical racism that was always part of the city , historically. i mean, that is on the page. that is what we are about as a city. we are still looking at that. it is astounding. asian american discrimination. we have history of that. latino. native american. irish-american. african-american. it also shifts the different focuses. but today we have -- what affects us as a city and as san francisco as a city is the fact that the institution of racism has been generated from washington, in many ways. when you take a look at the acts that are being treated, the fact

that, if he knew as a san francisco, with your child, to go into another country and to check into the airport and have your passport or have your child be removed from you, and not see that child for two months, or three months, and you are putting another room and you end up in a detention centre or in some cases, you are picking your child at school, here in san francisco, and some visitors come and take you away, and your kids, and your wife, many of whom are veterans, vietnam veterans. korean veterans. veterans of afghanistan. men and women of color who have served. this is going on in the bay area it is going on in california. is going on in the nation. the department of public health, this department is involved in a lot of these activities and ought to take care of our most vulnerable.

we have to weigh that in the context of our mission as a city i really, really thank you for coming and sharing with us, again the great accomplishments that barbara did during her tenure here because she was able to break down a number of these institutional barriers -- barriers and carve a new pathway by upgrading the communication and excellence provided with the healthcare system, with the pathway system, within the training system, with our inclusion of nonprofits and inclusion of training for our own staff and recruitment to be part of the overall model. so if any of you have thought about it, we really want to see the model of inclusion and a promotion and of dialogue and remembered there is an old saying. we stand with pride and be with the wind.

let me tell you. our radar is full of what we are plates that -- facing today. we cannot bury our heads. this department at this commission and our new director, whoever they may be, will really have to face some challenging decisions if we really believe in this mission of the department of public health and the city and county of san francisco and why we are here. i want to thank you. your input was exceptional. stay the course. >> thank you. commissioner green. >> i would echo. thank you, so much. i am relatively new to commission and every time i come here i learned so much. your comments are so thoughtful and eloquent. i learned so much from my fellow commissioners. in the short time that i have had the privilege to interact with barbara, i see 23 qualities that i have marked down from all of your various comments were really very much present in the

way she conducted things. i learned so much from her in this short period of time. but what i am hearing you say is that it's very important to collaborate. it's very important to have a nonhierarchical structure so anyone feels welcome to come before us. i hope you all felt that today. we really do value your input. we don't expect some reporter to be here, we really want to know what people have to say. of course, inclusion and respect we have big challenges. there are certainly physical challenges that we have this whole issue of california and san francisco seeming to become an island in a national structure that doesn't respect or value what we respect and value. the only way we can face these huge questions ahead is to work collaboratively. so this is what helps us do that certainly, i took notes. forward thinker, risk taker, consensus builder, moral compass , respect for the

nonprofits and the way we all interact. i have certainly seen all of these qualities every time i have done any of the orientation for this commission, whether it be at the jail service laguna honda, -- we have a wonderful foundation. with your input and the help of everyone, we will come up with someone who can possibly fill barbara garcia's juice. thank you, so much. >> thank you, very much. we want to thank our commissioners. we have articulated very well where we all need to go and the fact that -- and you were all given these questions. what is special, unique, what experience do we need to look at what skills and abilities that somebody need? what challenges? we and what type of person best works with people and what are those

leadership qualities? i think it is amazing that testimony we received today that helped inform that from you all. again, echoed by many of our commissioners. it seems to me that where we are at is looking at all of the input that you have given us and much of it, actually as i tried to look at things, i could sum it up as we currently need someone who knows how to manage. there's $2 billion at stake. it is managing not just simply a hospital or simply a public helped feature of a department, but the entire -- in fact, that is what allows us to actually go forward and talk about things like our san francisco values. and that whoever we have needs to fit those. whether they are on the

forefront with h.i.v., with healthy san francisco, with all the innovations that we are talking about. and somebody therefore, that has the boldness and can innovate, obviously. a leader. somebody who then believes in health equity. that has clinical savviness and believes in holistic care. this department has that opportunity and that is what we're doing. we are providing holistic care. it is all under the management of the department. so those are the things that i believe that we will try to articulate into a description. and i think as you have heard from the human resources people, there is probably not one person , but at this point, there was one person who fulfilled many of those goals.

if not all of them. that is a type of person we are going to be striving to look for again. this city deserves it. i think the work of this commission is going to try our very best to be able to give our mayors the opportunity to have another director of health who can move us even further into the next levels of care and to those questions, they are hard to answer. if we keep them as goals, we are going to strive to get there. so i believe our commission will have its work over the next several months. but clearly, our next steps are then to give it charge to h.r. and her consultants and to actually come back with us and work with the officers to develop and job description and we will bring that back to our

commission, hoping to reflect all the values that we have talked about today. so that would be scheduled for october 4th. they tell me we can't do it. we may have to postpone it, but i am trusting that they've assured us that we can get that out and to be able have that for our public discussion in our next meeting. commissioners, any further comments plea objections to it or additions that would enhance the process? if not, i believe that you are trusting your officers to help carry this on. we will then bring back october 4th to continue our quest for the next director of health. thank you to the public. thank you very much to your input. it is very valuable and we will be using it. thank you. our next item, please. >> clarified that the meeting

will be on october 2nd. >> october 2nd. sorry. october 2nd. i almost gave them two more days >> item six as other business. hearing none, we can move on to item seven which is report back from the september 11th laguna honda became. >> correct. commissioner sanchez klee. >> the jcc met at laguna honda on september 11th. we had a very exceptional update on the psychiatry protocols, revisions and standards and due diligence. it was an exceptional presentation. given the fact that a few years ago this was really nonexistent and are a psychiatry department an exceptional job in presenting this to the j.c.c. i would hope that we could even do it before the full commission at some point. is well worth listening.

we also went over the goals summary report and analysis as well. and did not bear or of other issues pertaining to unplanned discharges and utilization of the beds. and we reviewed policies and procedures that were brought before us pertaining to the actual operating areas of the hospital. we moved into closed sessions and we approved -- not approved but action was taken pertaining to the credential reports and our health certification and staffing. the meeting was adjourned and unless i our two colleagues would like to add to the meeting -- >> we started off with the fire alarm drill. it is nice to know everything is in working order. people know what to do. >> we met outside for a while because the fire alarms went off

and we had to adjourn the meeting. it was an excellent dialogue in discussions of the staff and to those who participated in the meeting did an exceptional job, including some of the fellows who had been involved in this past year. >> you are suggesting that a topic be presented to the commission itself. >> i was talking about the psychiatry department his and their protocol. >> it could be at our laguna honda meeting, potentially. we will let mr borowitz workout which would be the best venue for that presentation. thank you. i did not want to lose that thought. ok. >> any further questions to commissioner sanchez? if not, we will proceed onto the next item. >> if there is no public for

that item. item eight is a consideration of a closed session. >> yes. there is no public comment on closed sessions that we need a vote to hold a closed session. is there a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> all those in favor, please say aye. >> aye. >> all those opposed? we will now go into closed session on the public is excused mem >> commissioners, we are back in to open session. is there a motion for adjournment? >> so moved. >> is there a second? >> all those in favor, please say aye? >> aye. >> this meeting is now adjourned thank you.

resolution 37, a proves or authorization excuse of a contract with p.f.m., as described by the director. the scope of the contract embraces the financial modeling and debt administration support and it includes policy advice on debt portfolio administration and investment, rating agency and investors communications. evaluation of debt portfolio management systems, post suran d valuation of alternative financial options. with respect to the last item, i don't think we mentioned it in the memo but a firm cannot

present it to us. they have to go through a financial advisor and this is put into effect to keep and protect municipalities from being manipulated into unwise deals. it puts us in a situation of not hearing good ideas. it would be a good policy going forward to having have an f.a., if only for that reason. otherwise, it's a good time to review all of our procedures and practices. we have some particular modeling needs coming up in the next few years that we can use to help. the contract -- i'm sorry.

the selection process, the background is our purchasing policy allows selection from a city pool. the city established its financial advisory pool march 28th, 2018. it remains in effect for two years. based on the criteria of the staff depth and experience and post dissolution tax all occasion bonds and their status as an industry leader and reasonable pricing, staff selected public financial management or p.f.m. as the best qualified to provide these services. we have, with us today from p.f.m., nick jones and kevin dong. bob gamble, our league representative, is unable to be here today because he is on the road. nick and kevin will be providing a lot of support in these

projects. the contract budget is $108,000. we're allowing $20,000 for financial modeling. it's an estimate. data administration support another $70,000 with a contingency of $18,000, which could distribute into either one of those or some other services we may need. the term of the contract is two years with an optional one-year extension at the discretion of the executive director. with that, i will close my presentation and invite any questions or comments. >> madam secretary, are there any speaker cards for this item? >> clerk: no speaker cards, mr. vice-chair. >> anyone from the public wishing to speak on this item? hearing none and seeing none i'm closing public comment and i'll turn to my fellow commissioners for m any concerns or comments.

commissioner singh. >> who has the contract with us before? >> well, we have not had a general f.a. contract. we've always contracted specifically for bond transactions. often those contracts have lasted long enough that we effectively usually had an f.a. in place. actually their role was supposed to be specific to the transaction. we've used p.f.m. extensively in the past. we've also used c.s.g. advisors recently on our most recent two bond deals. we've used kidahata as well as a co financial advisor for a number of transactions. >> thank you. any other comments? questions? commissioners, i need a motion.

housing development partners, trance bay redevelopment project area, and discussion and action resolution number 38-2018. madam director. >> thank you, madam secretary. commissioners, this item is before you. i think several months ago, we had a closed session where we gave you a status update where we are with the developer. back into 16, the commission approved an option agreement. expiration date is fastly approaching. october 2018. so what we are presenting before you is a non binding term sheet. we've been discussing and negotiating with the developer for several months. the idea is we can extend the option agreement up to two years and continue to work with the developer and think back to further approval of d.d.a. with that, i know shane heart,

the trance bay project manager and jeff white, the housing program manager will be presenting. we have a development partners here with us today as well in the audience. they're going to be around and available to respond to questions. we're excited with what we have before you. we look forward to sharing some of the details. >> good afternoon. my name is shane heart. i'm the project manager for transbay. our presentation today, we're going to discuss the background for block 4 and then the existing option terms and proposed option amendment terms. jeff white will then discuss the developers' development proposal for block 4. and then we have discuss how the developer proposal fits into the trance bay affordable housing

program. lastly, we'll go over the next steps. >> this slide shows you the location of block 4. we also have been there, the location of parcel f. as you will see, parcel f and block 4 are related in this transaction. this is ann an an me an ameniti. it shows you the parks and retail. some background on block 4, the current zoning is for a 450-foot residential tower, 65 and 80-foot high podium and 50-foot high townhomes. the transbay redevelopment plan

requires that 35% of all new residential units in the redevelopment plan area be affordable. many projects that are planned and under construction in transbay, contain less than the 35%. so block four is always planned at the balancing parcel. under the existing zoning, 56% of the block units would be affordable to meet the 35% affordability obligations. this is a map that shows the existing block four zoning. it shows the location of the buildings and the open space.

we're missing a slide here. just to give you a parcel background. the parcel developer is heinz urban pacific and goldman sachs. it's the same developer as block 4. the purchase of parcel f was conditioned upon the developer obtaining an option to purchase block 4. parcel f is now in the approval process, with planning. it consists of 170 residential units, a hotel and office. ocii has approval rights over the parcel f residential component. due to the high homeowners association fees planned for

parcel f, it is the developers' intent to off site the inclusionary housing units to block 4. the transbay redevelopment plan does not allow off siding of inclusionary unit so this will require a variation to the transbay development controls, which must be approved by the commission in the future. the ocii commission approved the block 4 option back in 2016. the term of the option expires in october of 2018. the land purchase price is $45 million subject to negotiations or appraisal based on the final terms of the deal. the option requires the developer to provide sufficient affordable ain't in block 4 to meet the transbay 35% affordable

housing obligation. and the commission must approve the developers' selection of the affordable housing partner for the project. the existing option also provides extensive outreach for c.o.p. holders. it addresses work-force and contracting and requires the developer to provide community-serving space at below-market rent within the project. since the approval of the option, ocii and the developer have been negotiating terms for the sale of block 4. this includes discussing massing and building heights, meeting and exceeding ocii's housing standards, meeting the transbay 35% affordability obligation and providing community benefits.

it would provide of addition alex tensions of 12 months. ocii and the developer have negotiated a non-binding term sheet, which is attached to the option amendment and will be discussed later. the extension would provide time to finalize the terms of the sale for block 4, including building heights, design, the housing program and community benefits. the amendment also provides language to ensure that all ocii costs are paid for by the developer. also it names mercy housing as the affordable housing partner. i'd now like to turn it over to jeff white, our housing director, to discuss the project proposed by the developer and the transbay affordability.

>> thank you. i'm jeff white. housing program manager. good afternoon commissioners, directors. shane mentioned the term sheet as part of the proposed option agreement amendment. the term sheet flushes out the specifics of the proposed project. one of the things it seeks is an increase in height. the podium is currently at 65 and 85 feet. it will increase the height. the tower height would increase from 450 feet to 501. the term sheet defines housing itself. over all, block 4 will be 49% affordable. there's a total of 713 units. 347 are below market rate units and 366 are market rate.

the block four is divided up into really three distinct projects. the first is the podium rental project. the second is the tower condo project. the third is the tower rental project. the term sheet also provides specifics of a community benefits package, which shane mentioned, and i'll go into detail a tiny bit later. i'm going to go through those three comb phone ants o componet i just mentioned. the podium will be 100% affordable. it's consistent with the over all block -- it's consistent can some of our other transbay blocks like block six, nine and one, where they have 100% affordable podium and we have got a tower that is either market rate or mixed income.

the podium financing structure will look like our 100% affordable projects where there's tax credit financing and will be owned by limited partnership that has mercy housing, as the long-term partner. i did want to mention, given these are inclusionary units, although this will look 100% affordable projects, ocii is not providing any subsidy to the whole block, actually. the podium is 191 units. the podium is going to also take advantage of what is called income averaging. that is a division to the state tax credit regulations that allows a project to have a

broader range of affordability. in this case, what we'll be able to do is go from 45% a.m.i. to 100% a.m.i. and the purposes of tpcac the project around average 69% average affordability. it gives us a little bit more leeway to provide both lower income a.m.i. units and moderate income or higher -- up to 80% of tcak. in the podium, the one bedroom units, there's a certain skewing to make those lower income and that is a result of the c.o.p. survey that you guys -- that we presented to you. where it indicated a lot of demand for the c.o.p. holders are for smaller units. i wanted to mention just based on recent results from several

lotteries, we've had some c.o.p. holders that have gone all the way to 120% a.m.i. they've not ablthey were not abt because they were over income. the other thing i want to mention about the podium, given it's 191 units, based on our other transbay projects, we're expecting 225 children in that project. so this is the second project within block four. it consists of market rate condos on floors 30-47. and there's a mix of one, two and three bedroom units in those market rate condos. the third project is the tower rental projects on floors 2-29.

this slide gives you a visual of what is happening in the tower rental project. the top one-third of those apartments, the top one-third, the floors 20-29 will be market rate units. and then floors 2-19 will be 156 moderate income units and those units are affordability from 100% to 120% a.m.i. the b.r. m. will be on floors 2-19 and mixed throughout with market rate units. one thing that i really wanted to note is that in the tower rental, in the b.m.r., we are getting 20% of the b.m.r.s at three-bed roomrooms, i'm pointig that out because the market rate rental units, there are no

three-bedrooms, we can look at it as a community benefit. it's really a fantastic addition. so then parking -- i wanted to touch on parking. the parking is at parity with the parking rate units. the b.m.r., consistent with what we've done, the parking provided is at the lesser of half of the market rate for parking rent at the time where the operating cost of the parking garage. which is less. the b.m.r. unit interiors will be comparable to the market rate unit. they'll be comparable high-quality but not identical finishes. and the tower rental amenities

will be equally shared with both the podium residents and the tower b.m.r. residents. so this slide has got a lot of numbers on it. it's meant to point out the broad range of affordability that we're able to achieve at transbay block 4. you can see, i just want to point out, and sort of a specific a.m.i., so, as low as 50% medium income is $58,640 and then at 120% a.m.i. it's $142,100. these moderate a.m.i. ranges will provide family rental units which in san francisco, have been historically very difficult to finance and develop. of the two, block 4, 140 will be low income and 207 will be

moderate income. and in a few slides later, i'll review the over all income distribution in transbay zone 1. pursuant to the option agreement that was approved in 2016, ocii requires an experienced and qualified non-profit housing affordable developer to be a partner in the block 4 project for the development of the podium. [ please stand by ]

-- the services will be tailored for basically whoever in the group with families and seniors and tailored so it will basically flex over time as the population may change and the project. and there's also a strong intention to connect to the existing services at mercy block six and seven.

so now i wanted to step back a little bit and have a look at trend phase one and the affordable housing program. this slide is meant to really show you the overall -- what we're basically doing in trend zone one. we have ten blocks over all. there's going to be a total of 3244 residential units, 1400 of those will be b.m.r.s which is worth noting that's 43% of the total residential units in zone one not two. 10% of the b.m.r.s are already completed and 415 are well under construction with completion date prior to 2020. the chart below shows the income distribution of our b.m.r. units and includes projects completed and construction and planned.

and the chart includes block four. so you can see that overall we're hitting 42% of low-income units and with block four we have 27% as moderate income units. i also wanted to touch on the housing we're creating. this chart shows you we're serving family rental and formerly homeless families and seniors in trans bay block seven and i want to circle back to the community benefits mentioned earlier and go into a tiny bit more detail there's a bucket of community benefits and cop

outreach is one of the strong components. the developer did fund the benefit and it will be subject to our approval to maximize the success of c.o.p. holders specifically at block four. mercy and the developer intend to have partnerships with organizations with proven track record for c.o.p. holders. there will be site holders and robust management and a readiness strategy that will be implemented. another one of the community benefits is the commercial space at below market rate there will be about 6500 square feet at 50%

of the commercial market space rate. another thing in the bucket of community benefits is workforce mentoring and capacity building. we're pretty excited about this. there's $100,000 to o.c.a.i. to study s.b.e. capacity especially in the large projects in trans bay. $25,000 per year to existing technology assistance training program. general contractor selection criteria to require participation in the city's mentor protege program and best-faith efforts for s.b.e. participation and there's been

maintenance funding at 0.5% fee on resales of condo sales in the future. now, i'll briefly, next steps including today the o.c.i. commission amendment before you today and then next will be the o.c.i.i. commission and board of supervisor approval to the redevelopment plan to allow parcel f. to allow inclusionary units offsite and the approval of the amendment and the o.c.i. commission approval of the schematic design and d.d.a. that concludes my presentation. i did want to introduce some of the individuals of the developer team. we have cam falkner and dan

isran and chris collins with urban pacific and steve vettel with farrell lebron and kinerly architecture and planning and i may be missing a few people. my apologies. thank you. >> thank you, mr. white. madame secretary do you have the speaker cards for this item? >> no speaker card for this item mr. vice chair. we have mr. gene. >> good afternoon everyone. i'm oscar james from hunters point. i like this particular project. i do have concerns on are there any units that are going to be set aside for people with

disability in these units. also, will there be anything for peoples around that area who are homeless to have an opportunity to live in some of those units also. those are my questions that i'm asking for. thank you very much. thank you, mr. james. anybody else wishing to speak on the item. seeing none i will close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners for questions or comments. commissioner singh. >> yes. do we have the list of preference holders? >> i'm sorry, commissioner, can you say that one more time? >> i can't hear you. >> he's asking if there's a list of ser tif -- certificate of

preference holders. maybe mr. white can answer. >> pam sims. i'm a senior development specialist in house working on the c.o.p. program in marketing. actually, we work with the mayor's office of housing and community development and together they manage the program for us and yes, we together have a list of the c.o.p. holders. >> do you know the number we have? >> approximately 900 households. >> [indiscernible] >> it comes and goes because people get housed. >> yeah. we're reporting one to four parking are four units one parking? where do people park the car? >> what was the last thing you said? >> where would everybody else park their cars? >> yeah. >> the podium has a ratio of one

to four. they'd be in the underground parking. the v.m.r.s within the tower will have the same parking ratio as the market rate. >> where do we expect the other cars to be? >> deputy director o.c.i.i. parking ratios are a tricky thing to balance because you have both the parking need for residents as well as the limited space we have but particularly in the dense urban environment downtown like in trans bay. i know staff has presented to you in the past on the many

challenges we have in terms of traffic congestion and how to prioritize and transit opportunities along with giving parking opportunities. we try to balance them all. we have been doing a practice in o.c.i.i. typical housing projects of 1-4 as a ratio. we have found that has provided adequate parking. not everyone has a car and in a transit-rich neighborhood like transbay we found that to be a workable solution. we unfortunately don't have unlimited land or space to build everyone a parking spot. after taking all things into consideration, this is our recommended ratio. >> commissioner: do we have a parking garage around that area? >> there are a number in the downtown area. >> commissioner: i think -- who can be parking for one park >> typically that is managed
