4:00 pm
will have value waited the results and discuss any follow-up scanning or testing efforts and the city and parcel a residents. as we have stated before, the concerns we have would not impact the health of the current rear dents in parcel ar. the areas under question are enclosed under protective covers or inside locked buildings and secured parts of the. for the other parts of the site outside of parcel a, due to drew to the concerns, epm and the navy grow that comprehensive testing is before any new parcel transfers proceed. the navy must clean up the area until it is safe enough to transfer. e.p.a., the navy and the other regulators have analyzed
4:01 pm
retesting approaches. we have listened closely to the community input both at many community meetings and from written comments. e.p.a. appreciates the navy's publicly stated statements, agreements to implement the regulators recommendations, which provide the plan that protects public-health and the environment while moving expeditiously to get the answers we all want soon, as soon as possible. we look forward to reviewing the revised work plan closely, as soon as we receive it. together, with my state regulatory partners, we commit to have our technical experts monitor this every step of the way to ensure the safety of future residents and workers. we understand, in closing, the community has had a cloud of uncertainty hanging over its head for far too long. we all want the retesting to start as soon as possible. only with retesting can we know the facts about the extent of any potential contamination and begin clean up if needed right
4:02 pm
away. i appreciate the navy's movement forward towards the important steps. this urgency must be balanced with the need for a careful and transparent review of the work plan by both the community and the regulatory agency to make sure we're moving forward responsibly and efficiently to protect public-health. to ensure continued transparency throughout this process, we, at e.p.a., have committed to attend the bay view hunters point and meetings and provide regular updates on our progress. we also regularly meet with local federal elected officials to update the community's representatives on the work on the site. we continue to directory sources to hunters point so our team of text cal experts can focus our attention on this community. we're working hard together with the navy and our state regulatory departments and your departments to develop plans that will ensure the hunters point naval shipyard is clean and safe for the community. again, i thank you for your
4:03 pm
invitation and i look forward to your questions and i might ask lilly and john to help me with some of your questions. >> president cohen: i appreciate that, thank you. i think your presentation was clean and straight forward. you didn't behind hi-tech cal words or terms. i appreciate you for using everyday terminology. my main question is, what are the next steps for your agency in relationship to the work plan and the monitoring process? i'm under the impression that your comments are reflected in the 30 pages of comments back to the navy. >> we gave them extensive comments last august, mid-august on the work plan that they submitted to be public review and agency review last june. so -- >> president cohen: they haven't changed? >> our comments have not changed. we stand by those comments. those are the same comments we've provided to the navy last march. >> president cohen: that's a long time ago. my question is, for what reason
4:04 pm
do you believe that work plan hasn't reflected the comments that you've given? >> we believe, based on the statements the navy has made over the last few weeks that, to the public, that they are incorporating the comments that the regulatory agencies, including e.p.a. have provided them. we're hopeful in getting a work plan from them, i believe bit end of this month, around the end of the month, that reflects the comments that both e.p.a. and the state of california provides to the navy. >> president cohen: thank you, i appreciate your time. the last folks we will hear from is from the department of public-health. they will be here making a short presentation and then we can go to public comments. >> good afternoon. >> president cohen: good afternoon. >> thank you, very much for in inviting us to speak. my name is dr. thomas. i'm here with amy bronell, she's
4:05 pm
been working on this project for over 25 years. i'm the health officer of san francisco and the director of the population health division. as health officer, my job and responsibility are to protect and promote the health and well-being for all in san francisco. there is nothing more important to me than the health and safety of everyone in the city, but especially for our communities that have suffered from historical injustices and health disparities. i want to acknowledge and thank the community residents and environmental justice advocates for their compassion and commitment to equity and dignity for the community. i have learned so much from their collective wisdom, lived experience, expertise, and advocacy. as the health officer, i stand with the community in fully support the california department of public-health, radiation scans, to ensure the health and safety for parcel a
4:06 pm
residents. we not only want to ensure safety, but we want to -- we want the parcel a residents to feel safe. unfortunately, the deck marker finding was upsetting to all of us. we understand everyone's concerns. we hired an independent technical expert. you've heard those conclusions. i won't repeat it here. the bottom line is that based on all the information that we have, we believe that the parcel a is safe. what are we doing to get better at serving the community around these issues? we are re-assigning staff to strengthen our partnership with existing community residents and environmental justice programs in the neighborhood so we can set a common agenda and continue to move on the other environmental justice issues that concern the neighborhood. we are strengthening our community outreach. i wanted to summarize really
4:07 pm
quick -- you've heard the roles of the other agencies. san francisco department of public-health's role is similar. we're local. we provide oversight. we have an engineer that reviews the plans, reviews the data. we hire consultants to help us. we're an extra pair of eyes and you've heard how this is playing out with parcel g and parcel a. one important thing to realize about parcel a, is even though parcel a was transferred in 2004, that if any issue comes up, the navy still has the responsibility to work with other regulators to make sure that things get taken care of.
4:08 pm
>> president cohen: thank you. i just do have one question. what would be our department's role in providing the feedback. communicating to the neighbors, why there's a work plan and what it hopes to accomplish? why people should be paying attention. the importance of this work plan related to parcel g? >> so we independently review the work plan separate from
4:09 pm
e.p.a. so we also provided our comments based on the consultants we higher. we have our own health physicist to review everything. right now we're deep into planning on how we'll reach out to the community. we're going to develop a website. we're developing materials. we want to make sure the community is not only learning about what is happening in the shipyard but they're also aware of the other services that the health department makes available in the community around all health issues. >> president cohen: i appreciate that. thank you for acknowledging the role of the residents and the community environmentalists and the advocates and they've played. sometimes when we were not paying attention they were still there. i'm grateful for that. i don't have any other questions and i don't see my colleagues having any questions. so we're going to close out this portion of the hearing. what i'd like to do at this time is just take a moment and say thank you to all the people that came to participate in this hearings and that have traveled. many of the representatives from
4:10 pm
the navy traveled from san diego, others from sacramento. i'm grateful for your time and commitment. i'd like to begin to institutionalize these kinds of updates maybe every three months so we can keep a better record and just stay in touch with the happenings of the shipyard and what is going on. things are moving very quickly now. i just want to be able to stay on top of the changes. i'm excited to learn that the work plan is going to be finalized and publicly released. madam claire, if we can close out i think we can go to public comment. >> clerk: so we'll go to public comment for item 14. any members of the public who wish to speak, please come on up.

4:14 pm
days, they intend to serve a much less than the entire parcel g. let me give you an example of why you need to be very, very careful about listening to what these people say. because, they will tell you that they're going to sample 100% of the trench units. sounds good, doesn't it. what they don't tell you is they are not going to sample 100% of the soil from those trench units. they intend to sample one-third of the soil from those trench units and let two-thirds go by. they say they can have a statistical guarantee that it's clean. don't believe it. give us an opportunity to give you a substantial presentation. we will fill you in on what they

4:26 pm
visitors realize had cool things are made and produced in san >> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's aelectricitied assessor. today, i want to share with you a property tax savings programs for families called proposition 58. prop 58 was passed in 1986 and it was helped parents pass on their lower property tax base to their children. so how does this work? under california's prop 13 law, the value we use to calculate your property tax is limited to 2% growth peryear. but when ownership changes, prop 13 requires that we
4:27 pm
reassess properties to market value. if parents want to pass on their home or other property to their children, it would be considered a change in ownership. assuming the market value of your property has gone up, your children, the new owners, would pay taxes starting at that new higher level. that's where prop 58 comes in. prop 58 recognizes the transfer between parents and children so that instead of taxing your children at that new higher level, they get to keep your lower prop 13 value. remember, prop 58 only applies to transfers between parents and children. here's how the law twines an eligible child. a biological child, a step child, child adopted before the age of 18, and a son-in-law or daughter-in-law. to benefit from this tax saving program, remember, you just have to apply. download the prop 58 form from our website and submit it to
4:28 pm
our office. now you may ask, is there a cap how much you can pass on. well, first, your principal residence can be excluded. other than that, the total tap of properties that can use this exclusion cannot exceed $1 million. this means for example if you have two other properties, each valued at $500,000, you can exclude both because they both fit under the $1 million cap. now what happens hwhen the totl value you want to pass on exceeds $1 million. let's say you have four properties. three with current taxable value of $300,000 and one at $200,000, totaling $1.1 million in value. assuming that you decide to pass on properties one, two, and three, we would apply the exclusions on a first come, first served basis. you would deduct properties one, two, and three, and you would still have $100,000 left to pass on. what happens when you pass on
4:29 pm
the last property? this property, house four, has been existing value of 2 -- has an existing value of $200,000, and its existing property value is actually higher, $700,000. as i said, the value left in your cap is $100,000. when we first figure out your portion, we figure out the portion that can be excluded. we do that by dividing the exclusion value over the assessed value. in this case, it's 50%. this means 50% of the property will remain at its existing value. meanwhile, the rest will be reassessed at market value. so the new taxable value for this property will be 50% of the existing value, which is 200,000, equaling 100,000, plus the portion reassessed to market value, which is 50% times $700,000, in other words, 350,000, with a total coming out to $450,000.

don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally.

operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

4:38 pm
being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy,
