lease with the united states navy, continues the agreement through 2019. authority staff requests approval, and i'm available for any questions. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. there is no b.l.a. report on this item. colleagues, do you have any questions for mr. summerville? yes. seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. do we have a motion for this item? >> supervisor stefani: yes. i'd like to move this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor fewer: without objection, we can accept this item. madam clerk, please call item number five. >>clerk: item 5, item authorizing the municipal transportation agency to extend the contract -- with a minimum annual guarantee of approximately 32.3 million.

>> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i believe gail stein from the sfmta is here to present on this item. >> good morning, supervisors. this resolution would authorize a five year extension of the existing contract the city has through the m.t.a. has with incident section media. the contract is on exactly the same terms as the initial term. it was worth a minimum of $32,250,000 to the m.t.a. over five years and possibly more if the contractor sells more advertising. there's a 65% revenue shares. the contractor has exceeded the minimum in each of the four years so far. i'm happy to answer any questions. i know the b.l.a. has done a report on this, also. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you. i know it's in our information but maybe for the record if you could just state on you the contract has exceeded the max each year, what level. >> yeah. basically, permonth, we have an amount permonth, and if they

exceed it, then, we get more than the minimum, so it would take the amount permonth and multiply it by 65%. >> supervisor tang: no. i was just wondering if you could state what level it's exceeded the mag each year. >> so they have exceeded the mag by approximately 1.5 million over the four year period, and they have exceeded it each year, and particularly, the year of the super bowl, which obviously, there were quite a bit sold at that point. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. miss campbell, can we please have a report from the b.l.a. >> good morning, chair fewer, members of the committee. severin campbell from the b.l.a. office. the original contract was approved by the board for five years through june 2019, so this examine accept -- exercise the first of two five-year options, beginning july 2019 going

through 2024. again, as the question was asked and miss stein said, the revenues are either the minimum annual guarantee which is set in the contract itself not only for the first five years but also this extension option was already set in the contract or 65% of gross advertising revenues. the contractor has paid m.t.a. the gross advertising revenues over the first time years. it was about 1.5 million more than the minimum revenues. if the five-year extension is approved, the m.t.a. would receive 32 million in minimal annual guaranteed revenues over the five year term plus an additional $1.6 million had showing in our marketing fees, and we recommend approval. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. colleagues, any other questions for miss stein? i have one. i'm wondering, do we have the option to eliminate the wraps on

the buses? >> if we were, we would have to renegotiate the minimal annual guarantee. the proposal is to extend the contract as it is. any changes would result in a reduction in the minimal annual guarantee and possible a substantial reduction. >> supervisor fewer: has it ever been discussed eliminating the wrap from the buses? >> we understand we do have customers that don't like them. we have limited it to 30. the contractor, there are months where they could sell more. for example, right around now with dreamforce and the holidays. generally, there are no more than nine or ten at a time, which is 1% of our vehicles, but yes. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is

now closed. do we have a motion for this, colleagues? >> supervisor tang: i'll make a motion to send forth the item to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor fewer: we can take that without objection. thank you very much. madam clerk, please call item six. >>clerk: item six, resolution approving modification five to the airport with pgh wong-mck jv for a total term of june 11, 2015 through july -- i'm sorry, june 10, 2019 to commence following board approval. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i think we have kathy widener here from the san francisco international airport to present on this item. >> good morning, chair fewer, members of the committee. the item before you seeks approval for a fifth modification to an existing contract with pgh wong-mck jv for project management support services for the on airport hotel project. modification number five would

extend the contract through june 10, 2019 and increase the amount of the total contract by $4.6 million. the airport hotel project consists both of the new grand hyatt hotel as well as some road and aircraft parking reconfiguration that's required to accommodate the hotel footprint. the hoe tel is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. the project management contract provides support services for both aspects of the project, including design management, project controls, system testing, and cost and schedule controls. this contract is the result of a competitive request for proposals process with pgh wong-mck jv being selected as the highest ranked proposer. there is a budget analyst's report that does recommend approval, but i would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. colleagues, any questions for

miss widener? seeing none, miss campbell, can i have the b.l.a. report. >> so this was originally awarded to the pgh wong-mck jv through a competitive process in 2015. it has not had to come to the board of supervisors previously because it's been under the $10 million threshold. the contractor has modified the contract on an annual basis. in may, they increased it to 9.9 million to allow time to come forward to the board for the approval of modification number 15, which would set the contract at 14.5 million. our understanding is this should be the last modification to the contract. the hotel is -- project should be completed in 2019, and we do give a detailed budget for the $14.5 million, and we recommend approval. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. any questions, colleagues, at all? seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. public comment is now open.

>> the indication on the airport and the hyatt to utilize the funding, the excessiveness of it again is highly inadequate. the important thing is we must understand 9.9 million and 5 million, so what we're looking at is a total of 14 million -- or 10.4 million -- or more than that, get out of here. but the important thing is this -- i've got these idiots, and i want them away from me. i'm gregory williams, and i'm here to tell the board today i'm going to reform this government. i want the money back into my land. i want their name off of it. somebody put it there, and i cannot get access to it.

and i don't want to utilize the maritime law to profile civil litigations or terminations, including international litigations. but i need it done today. i can't get access to it for 11.5 years, and there's nothing i can do. so i want this body to make sure that the banks of federal reserves, embassies, counties, will get my money back to me. that will make a good undering of who we are going to utilize in the financial institution whether it's attorneys, management or anything in regards to the financing. so i'm ordering that this is did you happen today, immediately. and in regards to the funding for this project, we're going to put that project on hold. we have more important projects

and concerns in regards to san francisco -- [inaudible] fewer fur thank you very much. your public comment is now closed. any other members of the public that would like to speak? public comment is now closed? i'd like to move this item to the board with a positive recommendation. we can take that without objection. madam clerk, call eyes number seven. >> authorizing the department of the environment to submit applications on behalf of the city for grants offered by the california department of resources, recycling and recovery for which it is eligible. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i believe that we have charles sheehan from the department of the environment to present on this item. >> thank you, supervisor. charles sheehan. i'm the public affairs and policy manager at the department of the environment. the resolution you have before you today is fairly

straightforward. it allows the department of the environment to apply for grants for which we are eligible for from the department of -- from california's department of resources, recycling and recovery, more commonly known as calorie cycle. we routinely -- cal recycle. we apply for a lot of grants, including solid waste cleanup, container and bottle recycling grants, and so we have an ongoing relationship. some of these grants require yearly applications that we apply for each year. and so periodically, cal recycle asks us for updated resolutions to reafirm our authority to apply for these grants, and that's why we're here. we're working on a mobile recycling pilot grant, and that is mostly complete, except

they're waiting for an updated resolution, which is why we're here. i'll take any questions if you have them. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. colleagues, do you have any questions for mr. sheehan. there also is no b.l.a. report. let's open it up to public comment. is there any members of the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i'll make a motion to move this with a positive recommendation to the full board. take that without objection? thank you very much. madam clerk, can you please call item number 8. >>clerk: ordinance retroactively authorizing the office of the treasurer and tax collector to accept and spend a grant for the financial justice project and amending the annual salary ordinance to provide for the creation of one grant funded position. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i believe we have amanda freed from the office of the treasurer and tax collector to present on

this item. >> good morning, supervisors. this is an ordinance to accept and expend 415,597 from the laura and john arnold foundation. this grant award is to support the treasurer's financial justice project to develop a fines and fees reform. fines and fees serve as consequences for breaking rules or help us underwrite our costs, but for low-income people and particularly people of color, fines and fees can become predatory. they can push people in a hole they cannot climb out of. but thanks to you, they eliminated these fees that were high paying for people but low gain for government.

the impact of this legislation was felt almost immediately when the court greed to write off debt for 21,000 people. cities and counties around the country are clamoring to learn from our experience. this grant will help us help other cities follow our lead. government should be an equalizer of opportunity and not another driver of inquality. thank you for your consideration. >> supervisor fewer: thank you for your presentation. there is no b.l.a. on this item. i have one question for miss freed, really. too. so this $415,000 plus is for one f.t., is that correct? >> it's to support the program over several years and includes one f.t.e. >> supervisor fewer: okay. so my question is what happens after this position when the grant is finished? >> typically, grant funded positions are treated like

exempt positions for three years, and at that time, the position is over. >> supervisor fewer: okay. and so there is funding for this for the next fiscal year? >> correct. >> supervisor fewer: okay. thank you very much. there is no b.l.a. report. can we have a motion? >>clerk: madam clerk, can we please open it for public comment? >> supervisor fewer: thank you, miss wong. i'd like to open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is now item. may i have a motion. >> supervisor tang: i i'll make a motion to send item 8 to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. we'll do that without objection. madam clerk, are there any other items before us today? >>clerk: no, madam chair. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. the meeting is now adjourned.

>> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment.

>> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. . >> working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrate and dynamic city on sfroert of the

art and social change we've been on the edge after all we're at the meeting of land and sea world-class style it is the burn of blew jeans where the rock holds court over the harbor the city's information technology xoflz work on the rulers project for free wifi and developing projects and insuring patient state of at san francisco general hospital our it professionals make guilty or innocent available and support the house/senate regional wear-out system your our employees joy excessive salaries but working for the city and county of san francisco give us employees the unities to contribute their ideas and

energy and commitment to shape the city's future but for considering a career with the city and county of san francisc >> we broke ground in december of last year. we broke ground the day after sandy hook connecticut and had a moment of silence here. it's really great to see the silence that we experienced then and we've experienced over the years in this playground is now filled with these voices. >> 321, okay. [ applause ] >> the park was kind of bleak.

it was scary and over grown. we started to help maclaren park when we found there wasn't any money in the bond for this park maclaren. we spent time for funding. it was expensive to raise money for this and there were a lot of delays. a lot of it was just the mural, the sprinklers and we didn't have any grass. it was that bad. we worked on sprinkler heads and grass and we fixed everything. we worked hard collecting everything. we had about 400 group members. every a little bit helped and now the park is busy all week. there is people with kids using the park and using strollers and now it's safer by utilizing it.

>> maclaren park being the largest second park one of the best kept secrets. what's exciting about this activation in particular is that it's the first of many. it's also representation of our city coming together but not only on the bureaucratic side of things. but also our neighbors, neighbors helped this happen. we are thrilled that today we are seeing the fruition of all that work in this city's open space. >> when we got involved with this park there was a broken swing set and half of -- for me, one thing i really like to point out to other groups is that when you are competing for funding in a hole on the ground, you need to articulate what you need for your park. i always point as this sight as

a model for other communities. >> i hope we continue to work on the other empty pits that are here. there are still a lot of areas that need help at maclaren park. we hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. it's a really hidden jewel. a lot of people don't know it's here. >> supervisor tang: good afternoon everyone. welcome to october. we are at our october 1st, land

use and transportation commit committee. jim supervisor katie tang along with jane kim and supervisor safai. are there any announcements before us? >> clerk: yes. silence all cell phones and electronic devices. fill out speaker cards and any documents should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon will appear on the october 16 board of supervisors agenda. >> supervisor tang: thank you. can you call item numbers one through seven consecutively. >> clerk: yes. [reading items one through seven]

>> supervisor tang: thank you very much. we have francis mcmillan from planning. >> good afternoon supervisors. francis mcmillan. i have a presentation. thank you. items before you today are the article ten and article 11 designations. today's designations includes three individual art ten landmark designation and new pullman hotel and hotel utah. one article ten is proposed for today. the article 11 items include addition of two properties to the kearny market district, the designation of the mint district and change in designation of 26 individual building. each of the items was supported

by the historic preservation commission and planning commission in march through june of this year. the surveys conducted over the last several years are examples of property with architectural design. their statements serve aztec any cal studies used to inform the development and protecting -- as, technical studies and used to reflect the industrial and artistic feel of the neighborhood. the new pullman hotel is significant as one of the few remaining and best examples of the residential hotels. it is also significant for its association with seasonal and

african american railroad workers including pullman porters and maids who established the first all black union in the country, contributed to the development of the african american middle class. the property is the only known property in san franciscan stanning strong associations with pullman porters and maids. the pile drivers bridge is associated with post disaster reconstruction era. the union hall at 224 and 226 guerrero. this is a striking example of architect commonly employed in

the design residential hotel building constructed during period and the hotel is notable for having survived a large scale redevelopment of soma during the mid-20th century during which much of the building stock was raised. the last article ten designate nation is named for the -- designation is named for the two story warehouse building unique to the district. it is significant because it is representative of 19 century development of the south of market area and maritime commissioners a-- commerce along the west coast. it was developed in the 19 industry and continued through the 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction. it is one of the last remaining

enclaves of main stream building following the 1906 earthquake and fire. the first of the two designations before you is the addition of two properties to the kearny market district. 55 fifth street, and 1923 hotel. their heights, scale and massing along with the renaissance detailing share direct relationship with the architectural character and historic context, making them natural additions to the district. the mint mission district is co comprised of industrial properties. as a reminder, article 11 building are classified with numerical rankings.

buildings one and two are significant and contribute to categories three and four are smaller scale and possess less ornate detail. the district is rare with this mix of building types and representative of the post 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction period. the 26 properties proposed for a change in article 11 designation best represent the neighborhood. they include examples of the industrial and commercial hotel properties that were once common to soma. the majority of the properties are not currently rated under article 11 or classified or category 5. as outlined on this slide, throughout the development of the central soma survey, multiple outreach efforts were conducted. through recent notification we

have received several inquiries from property owners with a mix of questions and concerns related to designation. department staff has held a number of meetings and spoken with owners to discuss their concerns, including the transferable development rights and using the california building code and certificate of appropriate requirements. in closing, the article 10 and 11 designations included in the soma plan policies include supporting the preservation, recognition and well-being of the neighbor's resources, protecting heritage properties, designation to article 11 of the planning code and supporting the features that shows the art of the neighborhood. this concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much for that presentation.

colleagues, any questions or comments? okay. seeing none, we will go to public for items one through seven. any members of the public who wish to speak on the historic designation items? >> this technique of conserving and preserving historic building is an example how you can preserve buildings in area owned and controlled by nationality of white people. when you have historical building in areas that is predominantly black and hispanic, latino, people of color, you never come through talking about you want to preserve the building. you want to tear it down and build a brand new building and jack up the expenses of rent and move the original people in the area out of the district. and you do it all the time.

every time you do it, i'm going to check you. and by the same response, i'm going to step outside just to conference of taking care of business in city hall because this is not the correct place to take care of these kind of problems with the way your administration is. i have to get you in front of a federal district judge with the price fixing and price gauging and you get trillions and billions of dollars to high-tech companies that don't need a damn blink. i'm tired of it. i'm tired of it. about you talking about i'm being decisive. pitting minds of people against each other when i speak up for every nationality. [bell] >> i don't appreciate you talking to me like that. a black person come here and tell you he had two cancer surgeries because of the radiation in your district and you slam the door in his face.

female tell you how 13 people have died because of the cancer causing materials in your district and you hang up the phone. do not come through and how black people have been discriminated for years in san francisco. [bell] >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public who wish to comment on items one through seven? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagueses can we get a motion on these items? >> supervisor kim: i would like to move forward items one through severalen with recommendation to the full burden. >> supervisor tang: we are missing our colleague, but do we need to roll call then? >> clerk: sure. on the motion to send this matter forward as recommended, supervisor safai? absent. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor tang?

>> supervisor tang: aye. >> clerk: there are two eyes. >> supervisor tang: thank you. these items will proceed. item eight, please. [reading agenda item] >> supervisor tang: thank you. we are joined by supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. it is in response to multiple fires we have seen in the city over the past few years that have led to property damage, massive tenant displacement and some instances loss of life. there were 252 two-alarm or

greater residential fires between 2004 and 2016. the most horrendous fire in my district was 22nd and mission in 2015 where 58 men, women and children were displaced. access to fire escapes were locked and that the alarm system didn't work. many of these survivors are low income families with young children. one person also tragically died. today this building is nothing but a hole in the ground and people have not been able to return to their homes or community. this legislation provides the city with a strong mechanism that will help keep our most vulnerable building safe and hopefully prevent tragedies like the one at 22nd and mission in the future. while there are many upstanding building owners in the city, what this legislation does is focus on those who have a pattern of negligence. the legislation will be triggered when a building owner has been issued two or more

notices of violation for violation of fire safety requirements and any fire hazard continues to exist or reoccurs after abatement. the violation must also be so extensive or of such a nature that the health and safety of the resident is endangered and the property owner has failed to abate the violations. in these situations, the city can issue a fire life safety notice and order, which can be signed off by either dbi or fire in consultation always with our fire marshal. this order will make clear that not only must the building owner resolve their outstanding notices of violation, but they will now also be required to do so through one of the following. either install a new sprinkler system, install a new fire alarm system or make improvements to either one of those systems. this legislation amends the

housing building and fire codes and the admin code because it makes clear that the landlord will not be permitted to raise the rent on tenants to pay for the installation. landlords will not want to incur the significant price and be incentivized to keep their building safer and up to date. we have added one more provision to this legislation which is reflected in the version before you colleagues on page five beginning on lines 13. once building owners receive a notice of violation related to fire safety, they will be made aware of the consequence for not abating fire safety violations within the specified time period and be made aware of this new law. in addition, once a building owner has reached two or more notices they will receive a warning letter letting them know

they are a recipient of the order. negligent landlords need to understand if they don't take life safety then there are clear and serious consequences. i would like to thank many people who worked on this legislation starting out with the incredible rosemary who is now retired for developing this idea together with my chief of staff, caroline who have worked on this for many years and are really the brains behind this incredible piece of legislation. thank you caroline and rosemary. i hope you're watching. i also wanted to thank the fire marshal, dan decosio. jamie and bill from dbi. and then a huge thank you to anty displacement coalition for help in developing this

legislation, especially justin and tommy from the housing life committee and rose maria from the tenderloin housing clinic. i want to thank charlie from the san francisco apartment association for reviewing this and providing feedback. thank you so much. with that, in my colleagues have any questions or comments. >> supervisor tang: i think we just wanted to see the amendments and maybe we could look at them while comment is going on. >> supervisor ronen: it is in the packet you have. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we can just go to public. >> supervisor kim: i wanted to say something. first i just want to thank supervisor ronen and her office for their really incredible work on this ordinance. i know when we had a number of major fires in district nine but also district six, many of us

were wracking or rain or a legislation that would be appropriate to addressing this without doing a city wide requirement on every single multi-unit apartment building. it is obvious a great deal of work went into it. it is a very elegant and sump solution that help -- simple solution to help and protect lives and housing of our residents. i just want to thank you in advance because redid require springi springi springing -- sprinklers. thank you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. >> supervisor tang: each speaker will have a few minutes. i will call a few names to line up on the side. julio, joseph, anna, raquel

veronica gomez and i will call some more after we hear from our first speakers. >> public: i agree with this and also move to expand it. the ordinance prohibiting landlords from increasing rent to cover the cost which is supposed to be paid for by the owner of the building in the first place. normally i speak up for people in low-income and very low-income brackets and people with disabilities both mental and physical. but there's a unique time where i came to speak up for people in high-income brackets who are being discriminated against and involved in rent increases based on general routine maintenance. you claim that the rent ordinance prohibits landlords from increasing rents.

i believe my last comment the rent stabilization board is not supposed to be price fixing and increasing the rents when they are supposed to be maintaining rent control. the same response has been studied by the university of berkeley pertaining to how rent control will stable out the displacement of low-income, very low-income and fixed income and people who are retired on a fixed income. by going and taking care of the business the way you have been doing -- the study produced information by professors at berkeley both law school -- [bell] >> public: san francisco, bayview district and san francisco has lost thousands of low-income black households where lower income prices were already established. you incorporate situations per

any expense that is supposed to be liable to the owner and pass it on to the tenant and undermine the tenant that is not aware of their rights pertaining to housing. you signed a contract with the owner. [bell] [microphone cut off] >> public: good afternoon. i have been working with sf tenants since 2017. i'm here today to support the legislation. i have been working with tenants who have been displaced by fires in the mission and what often goes unmentioned in this conversation about fires and housing units is the difficult process of tenants returning to those units or their homes. housing units are supposed to be

temporary displacements but they turn into permanent displacements. the fire -- they are supposed to be temporary until the proper repairs are completed. so, the fire life legislation before you can help ensure the safety and well-being of these tenants and reduce the amount of impact it has on the building and the tenants that live in the building. please support this legislation as it will help reduce the impact fires have on the san francisco tenants. thank you. >> public: hi. good afternoon. my name is leticia and i'm one of the lead housing organizers. i have been working with tenants in the mission and other neighborhoods across the city since 2013. and i'm here today in support of this ordinance to amend the building and other housing codes

to ensure landlords take the safety of their tenants seriously. i can share as an organizationer -- organizer, i have worked with tenants and i have conducted building inspections and outreach when tenants have horrible repairs. i have worked with families displaced by fire including tenants from the 22nd mission street fire and i have seen the gaping hole there with no hope. so, we really believe that this legislation is vital in protecting the well being and safety of tenants. and although i can say that we work closely with inspectors from the department of building inspection to get landlords to obey these code violations, in

the tenants unit and in the common areas of buildings, those repairs can take anywhere from six or more months to abate. so, my hope is that with the amendment of this housing code -- [bell] >> public: slum lord will take the notices of violations that are issued to them and actually fix the fire code violations rather than paying fines. and the sro hotels have sprinklers and i don't see where landlords have ignored multiple fire code violations shouldn't be held to the same standard. please vote to support and move this legislation forward. thank you. >> public: hello. my name is raquel and i'm a housing advocate at the housing clinic. i'm part of the code enforcement outreach program and i'm a mission native.

i support this legislation because every building deserves to have a fire sprinkler system that are working and up to code. as you may all know, the mission has had many fires in the last couple of years which have displaced many families. in particular, one building my friend used to live in which was on 22nd and mission. it was his senior clear of college and because of that fire, he lost everything. growing up, my mother would take my sister and i to the markets to buy produce and when we would get good grades, she would take us to popeyes. when i walk by i can think of the memories i had as a child. i will never forget the night when that building caught on fire. there would be nights i would have a hard time sleeping because i was scared my building would be next. by passing this legislation, not only are we helping families stay housed, but we are keeping memories and stories that we grew up so we can
