>> all right ladies and gentlemen. good morning for a wonderful conversation around budget and finance. we want to welcome each of the budget and finance committee.

linda wong as our clerk of the board who is assisting us with today and i want to recognize our friends at san francisco government television who are tag teaming and assisting us with today's broadcast. thank you, gentlemen. are there any announcements we. >> silence all cell phones and electronic devices and completed speaker cards will be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk and items acted upon today will appear on the october 30th board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much. we have a nice round calendar. thirteen items that we will get through today. could you please start with item one? >> item number 1 as resolution authorizing the sheriff's department to contact the correctional services for jail food services for a five year period from november 1st until october 31st 2023 for a contract total not to exceed an

amount of $20 million with two one-year options see when we have the best unnamed man in the sheriff department presenting with us. his name is crispin holland. what a name. your mother knew what she was doing. take it away, crispin. >> it is a real day in the calendar. with that said, good morning, supervisors. i hat --dash i am the c.f.o. for sheriff hennessey and i'm here today regarding the resolution before you to authorize the sheriff's department to contract with aramark for jail food services for a five-year period for a contract total not to exceed $20 million with two one-year options to extend. we have a short presentation. aramark has provided food services for san francisco county jails since 2012.

the current contract expires october 31st, 2018. in this new contract calculus competitively bid, according to the administer age of code. we put out the r.f.p. in january and we were awarded in march. it is for a five-year term. the dates here are wrong. it is for a five-year term beginning october 31st 2018 with two one-year options. the total value of the contract is not to exceed $20 million. it conforms with the new requirements from the san francisco environmental code. new requirements since the old contract was established. it does include antibiotic use and meat and poultry, as well as a proposed amendment that we believe will be incorporated soon for use of food service. finally, it incorporates a values framework from the good

food purchasing program. i will go into greater detail on that soon. just to add, at the centre for good food purchasing was part of the interview panel for the r.f.p. when we were doing the r.f.p. services under the new contract, same as last time. prepare and serve three meals for inmates and staff at all county jails. new to this is coffee service. coffee service for inmates and staff. garbage service. we used to have inmates to garbage service but due to the acuity of classification of inmates, we now have aramark doing that. we have also, as i said, implemented good food purchasing program requirements. again, i will go into that more. finally, we have safe serve training program is as part of this contract. with spiky charter schools. this will give participants a credentialed -- with five key

charter schools. this will give participants credentials in the industry. let me talk about the good food purchasing program before i open questions. in june, we passed a resolution urging number of departments, including the sheriff's department to align food vendor purchases with good food purchasing standards. the five values of good food purchasing includes support of local, environmental sustainability, valuing the workforce, safe healthy work conditions and fair compensation animal welfare, as well as nutrition. they can go into some of these details more if i would like -- if you would like. for the timeline for incorporating all of this, as i said, we have been working with good food purchasing since the beginning of this year. since the beginning of the contract. we started formal work on the baseline for this contract in august ahead of this contract coming into effect, working with

both the centre for good food purchasing, as well as aramark. we project to december 2018 to be a day where we will have baseline assessment. and also as required by the resolution, we will have a report to the board of supervisors regarding the results of that assessment as well as action plans and we project that that will happen in february of 2019. with that, i am open to questions. >> supervisor cohen: just real quick. this is a 20 million-dollar contract to provide food to the folks that are in incarcerated? >> not to exceed. we project it to be roughly 16.8 million. there is a condition just contingency in their. >> talk to me about the contingency. >> some of the good food purchasing program costs could push up the cost of the contract we could also have an inmate count that could increase and that could push up the cost of

the contract. there may also be some changes in sales tax that could also increase the price. >> supervisor cohen: when i was reviewing this item, one thing that popped out as there is a difference between the staff meal and the inmate meal. such that one is almost twice the cost of the other. is there a reason for that? should everyone be -- shouldn't everyone be eating healthy food? >> it is a good point. the cost that we have for inmate meals and the staff meals, they reflect what we had been doing in prior contracts. there is -- for inmates, for instance. , we have coffee service. aramark is providing that coffee service for free. this is part of the reason they in fact when this contract. that cost is not incorporated in it. whereas for the staff, aramark is charging us for that service.

for inmates, more from an operational perspective than a cost perspective, lunch is a cold meal, not a hot meal. it is a hot meal. >> supervisor cohen: thank you for the clarifications. supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: thank you i just want to thank you and aramark for including and being so diligent about the good food purchasing program. i think this is -- i was author of it and i implemented this at the school district. this is where our purchasing dollars and our procurement dollars can actually have an impact on other industries as well. so really getting more value for the money that we are spending. thank you very much. i'm so glad that they are working so diligently on it. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you we will pave pivot and listen to the budget legislative analyst share with us some of her thoughts on this. >> good morning. and from the budget and the staff.

we summarized the cost of this contract in table 1212 on page 3 of our report. it is $20 million over the initial five year term of the contract. the price for the meals is fixed for the first two years and then can go up by the c.p.i. for the final three years of the contract. and then the base contract amount is $16.8 million. there is a 19% contingency if the cost of the meals go up due to the antibiotic ordinance or the good food purchase ordinance but we do recommend approval. >> supervisor cohen: thank you all right. thank you very much for your presentation. i don't think there any other questions. we will go to public comment. any members of the public who would like to come and talk on this wonderful topic, you have two minutes. none, ok. public comment is closed. what would you like to do with this item? i say approved with a positive recommendation and scent to the

full board as a committee report i have nods over here. we will do that without objection. thank you, very much. please call eight and two and three together. >> item number 2 is resolution authorizing the mayor process office of housing and community development to accepting an award to 50 million for the california department of housing and community development of affordable housing and sustainable communities program for a project at 1950 mission street. item number 3 is resolution authorizing the mayor process office of housing and community development to accept and expend an award of $14 million including a loan of $9.3 million at a grant of $4.7 million for project at 2060 fulsome street. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor ronan and the mayor are sponsors of this legislation and we have amy chan back in the mayor process office of housing to make a presentation presentations. >> thank you. i am from the mayor process office of housing and community development. items two and three before you are resolutions to accept state

francisco. >> supervisor cohen: thank you , very much. there is no budget legislative analyst report on these two items. a simple expert accept and expend grant from the state. let's go ahead and take public comment. any member of the public like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. let's approve this with a positive recommendation? all right. we can take that without objection. thank you. all right. item for police. >> item number 4 is resolution authorizing the department of public health to accept and expend a grant increase of approximately $466,000 from the centers for disease control and prevention to participate and continue ongoing biobehavioral surveillance activities and among a population at high risk for h.i.v. inspection from january 1st 2018 until december 31st 2018. >> thank you. supervisor madeleine --

supervisor mandelman is the sponsor for this. >> good morning supervisors. i'm the research unit coordinator for the centre for public health research at the department of public health and i'm here to accept the request. the national h.i.v. behavioural surveillance is a project sponsored by the centers for disease control. it takes place here in san francisco in and in 20 other cities in the u.s. which have historically been most severely affected by h.i.v. we track h.i.v. prevalence and related behavioural his -- behaviours along -- among marginalized communities and people in impoverished neighborhoods and people who inject drugs. we have received funding to conduct this every year since 2003. for the first time next year, they will include a study of transgendered women. we are preparing this for women

and people who inject drugs. this is timely as we are experiencing opioid overdoses and health threats to the city. we are gathering data on h.i.v. and hepatitis see prevalence of risk behaviors and accessing use of prevention and harm reduction programs. this includes access to clean syringes, h.i.v. testing, prep, methadone and naloxone. we are asking about discarding of syringes, public injection, overdose and fentanyl testing. the information we will be gathering will be shared with community partners and the torn part -- and the department of community health, equity and promotion. we're halfway through data collection and on track to successful completion by december. we should have preliminary results to share soon after. i'm happy to answer any questions or ask my team and come back to you with anything if i cannot answer now. >> supervisor cohen: item four is just a retroactive authorization. it will increase the grant amount by $466,000 to a total of

one point $03 million. we have no budget legislative analyst reports. we can go to public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment on item for? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. i will make a motion to approve with a positive recommendation and we can take that without objection. thank you. ok. let's keep moving. let's go to item five. >> item five is resolution authorizing and approving the lease of a portion of the equipment room at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital and trauma centre. a distributed antenna system and providing enhanced cellular services. >> supervisor cohen: we have. schaeffer from the department of public health and josh keane from the department of real estate to answer questions. this is a routine lease and the

equipment room in zuckerberg hospital. allowing improved cell coverage inside the building which is quite frankly, very much needed. why don't you tell us about it. >> i thank you summed it up quite well. there's very, very little coverage around the hospital. without the distributed antenna system, verizon is one of several providers we have engaged to increase the service offering to both patients, families, visitors as well as staff. anybody else who may be called upon if should -- should there be an emergency. >> supervisor cohen: why is the base rent being waved? >> they are providing the service through the distribution network to allow their customers to access it. they are waving their fees as well. >> supervisor cohen: so we are waving it because they are incurring additional costs? >> because they are participating. we have asked all providers to come and join in. >> supervisor cohen: all right let's hear from mr king. >> i can clarify. it is waived under the aspect

that they are providing a localized service within the building. if they were to expand to the service or they were to abandon the equipment or anything like that and not provide it, it immediately gets reinstated at $5,000 a pop. >> supervisor cohen: i want to make sure we are not just giving away the house. but in this case we are giving away the hospital. >> that is correct. this is our typical rate. but not for this service. that would be for an antenna on the roof that would be going there outside the building and providing to the general public. this is a service provided specifically within the walls of the hospital. >> supervisor cohen: are their long-term plans to put an intent on out on the hospital to provide a wider array of coverage? >> i am filling in on this one for the director, so i am not sure. this is an entirely different system. this is internal and located within the building. the antenna would be separate. >> supervisor cohen: ok. i don't know if either one of you know, what would be the speed of this network that we are going to be implementing?

>> i believe, and i can follow to be accurate, i believe it is a four g l.t.e. that we offer within the building. >> supervisor cohen: ok. four g is growing to become more and more inferior. we have five g out there on the market. is there any reason why we don't have five g? >> not that i know of. >> supervisor cohen: ok. well, is there anyone else here who might know the answers? is there a verizon representative? >> one thing i can clarify, the reason why we enter into a lease instead of a month-to-month permit is to give them certainty that if they were to upgrade the permit, which is allowed in the lease to go to a five g system over 60 down the road. given this could go up to 15 years, gives them the certainty to get make that investment within the building. >> supervisor cohen: ok. i will take public comment on this and i will come back to item five. is or any member of the public who would like to comment on item five?

public comment is closed. thank you. do you have any comments on anything? no. all right. we will send this out of committee to the full board without a positive recommendation. without. just a regular. no recommendation. thank you. thank you, very much. item six, please. >> item number 6, revolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the peninsula core door joint powers board for revenue bonds and refinancing revenue bonds in one or more serious aggregate systems do not -- approving additional credit to

not exceed 30 million. >> supervisor cohen: thank you all right. item six. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i am the chief financial officer of the peninsula core door joint powers board. as supervisor cohen is well aware, the joint powers board is a joint exercise of powers agency formed by the city and county of san francisco. the san mateo county transit district and the santa clary of santa clara transportation authority. we are here before you've refinancing plan that we will discuss in a moment. the government code requires each of our members find a significant public benefit in the financing that we are doing. we have done this with you in previous financings and we have already gotten that finding a public benefit from our other two members. having gotten that from san francisco, assuming we are successful, we will be taking this to our board of supervisors

at the beginning of next month for approval. the jp b. currently has approximately $34 million in revenue bonds outstanding. series 2,000 our fixed right bonds issued out in the public market. the bonds are refundable for savings. the 2015 bonds are in a bank term mode and those are subject to a mandatory purchase in mid-january. there are debt service savings with the refunding and we need to take care of the 2015 his. the joint powers board also has a $150 million credit facility which we entered into to find the peninsula core door electrification program. that project is extensive and ongoing.

we are working on electrification of the core door many of you may be aware that we have recently begun tunnel notching in the san francisco tunnels and work on the overhead system in the tunnels will begin shortly. the new electric vehicles are currently being worked on as well. that facility is repayable by various state and federal grant funds and has a subordinate lien on the farebox revenues. the objectives of the 2018 financing plan are multi- folds. the first is a new series of 2018 fixed-rate revenue bonds which would do two things. it would refund both of those series of bonds that i just mentioned. again, the 22,000 for savings and the 2015 because there is a mandatory purchase that we need to take care of. the debt service savings that we expect to find with the refunding of the 2007 is up to

the neighbour added just neighborhood of $3.9 million on a present value savings. that will be very market dependent. we will see where it is. again, we expect it to be significantly positive. the second piece of the fixed right bonds will be used to fund real property acquisition. this would be an amount of proceeds not to exceed $23 million and it would be used to acquire two pieces of property that we currently lease we would find several benefits from acquiring these as opposed to leasing them. first of all, we would rely savings associated with those over the immediate -- immediately on a cash flow basis and significant savings on a long-term basis. frankly we are hopeful that we'll be able to bring those acquisitions while under $23 million, which would just increase the attractiveness. it would also allow us to

maximize the value of those facilities in terms of the way that they are used. the second piece of the financing plan is increasing the existing credit facility that we have with j.p. morgan from $150 million to $170 million through his term of 2022. this would provide the jp b. with additional flexibility to match a graft that we received from the state in the spring through the transit and intercity rail capital program which will primarily be used to fund the purchase of additional emu. the electric multiple units. the new electric trains that will be running on the caltrain line. the initial program of the electrification allowed us to buy 96 cars. that is 166 car concepts. this grant will allow us to extend the length of the existing system and add additional ones which facilitates better service, faster service and allows us to

get more diesel trains off the road quicker. finally, we would like to establish a new $30 million credit facility with j.p. morgan this would be used for that the jp b. working capital requirements and general corporate purposes but was mostly of interest to us in coordination with our implementation of positive train control. it is a federal mandate. we have a shortfall in funding for that relative to where the cost of the project is. we have -- when we started this effort, we were looking at a shortfall of about $30 million. we have been able to reprogram one grant of a little over $5 million and we have received a new branch from the federal government just over the summer of about $18.7 million. that brings our net cost, the net gap on the funding to about six and a half million dollars. but we do have that gap

associated with it and ptc is a federal mandate. we have to have positive train control implemented in order to be able to run the railroad. we have been working throughout the summer and now early fall on a number of things. we have been developing legal documents. we have been coordinating with the member agencies including san francisco and we have been working with your staff since late august. again, we are now seeking approval from the three member agencies. we have received approval from dta and from the train his. in november, we will seek approval from our board subject to the final approval from san francisco. then we will meet with the rating agencies, poster offerings and to be able to close this process in december. i am available for any questions to be one thank you. any questions, supervisors?

question about the objectives of the financing. >> yes, ma'am,. >> supervisor cohen: can you go in more detail about the refund of all the existing fair revenue bonds instead of just desk -- debt service savings? >> the 2,007 bonds are currently refundable. that is one where we can immediately achieve cost savings the most common way to evaluate refinancing savings for tax-exempt debt is to look at the net present value savings of that refunding. we are looking at savings while in excess of $3 million. >> supervisor cohen: what do you plan to do with the savings? >> it will reduce the debt service. what will happen is it will reduce the operating costs of the agency. we are not planning on popping out cash and using it for anything else. it will simply reduce the ongoing operating costs of the agency. >> supervisor cohen: is the agency taking into consideration any kind of subsidies for low

income transit riders? >> yes. the agency is in the middle of considering a fair policy that may be brought back to the board as early as november for adoption. we are looking at a number of things including a number of measurements of equity including income equity. >> supervisor cohen: all right thank you. colleagues, i don't know if you have any other questions. we have no report on this. we can take public comment and take action. public comment is open for item six. thank you. >> you process your business and be sure to include disabled and low income bracket people and particularly people that are in wheelchairs to make sure that they can enjoy your services. as far as these bonds is concerned, i want to highlight how week after week after week, you have multi- billions and

trillions of dollars of bonds and addressed an aggregated to every department, every type of services in the city except very low and low income bracket people. you never put together these type of bombs in order to build departments -- apartment building complexes for the most valuable people who are in the city. you put together 44 million-dollar bonds for housing, homeless teachers and a hundred 44 million bonds for what i 100 unit building for teachers only. there are another 44 million-dollar bond for 120 unit department -- apartment building for teachers only. you have a situation endured by homeless teachers but not enjoyed by nonhomeless teachers. it is not fair and it is unconstitutional. a violation of the 14th amendment. that is not due process and that is not equal protection under the law. then you turn around and wonder why you have so many people that are most vulnerable, homeless

and out on the street. it is disgusting. i am real upset about it. that r attention i went i would like the same type of treatment that has been provided to the high income bracket people to be applied to people who are less fortunate and disabled and in low income bracket areas. this seems to be getting on that track. i like the way that you asked the question. is there any type of direction towards low income bracket people? sincerely. >> supervisor cohen: any other members of the public? public comment is closed. thank you. one more question for you. could you -- has this proposal already gone to the b.t.a.? >> yes, they have already approved this. >> supervisor cohen: that is all i wanted to know. i will make a motion to approve with a positive recommendation. we will send that to the full board. speed can we also send this as a committee report? >> supervisor cohen: yes,

without objection. please call seven and eight together. >> item number 7 his origins appropriating $200 million for special tax upon serious for financing related to the transbay transit centre project and transbay plan infrastructure project in fiscal year 2018-2019 eight is authorizing the issuance and sale of one or more series of special tax sponsors community facility districts. in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million. >> supervisor cohen: thank you the mayor's is the response of this. we have anna from the controller 's office to make the presentation. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is anna and i am the new director of the controller's office of public finance. you have heard and approve many

items relating to the transbay transit centre project. this is one of many that you will have before you in the coming years. i will be presenting on the bond financing related items before the committee as it relates to the special tax bond. however, if there are project related questions regarding the sales force transit center, the executive director of the transbay joint powers authority is present to address these. as i mentioned, i am before the committee today to respectfully request that the board of supervisors considered for review and approval a resolution that confirms the annexation of property into the transbay community facilities district, as well as authorizing the issuance of up to 200 million of special tax bonds. and finally, and ordinance appropriating the use of these

bond proceeds. as a reminder to the board to, in 2012, the city adopted the transit center district plan. after a multiyear planning process. the comprehensive plan to support the construction of the new transbay transit center project including the downtown rail extension. in adopting the plan, the board authorized the formation of a community facility district or c.f.d. within the plan boundary. for a new development to provide funding for the new transbay transit center and other public infrastructure in the area, supporting growth and development of the neighborhood. properties in the plan area that receive a height or density bonus are annexed into the c.f.d. and special taxes are levied on those developments. in 2015, the board approved the levy and collection of special

taxes on certain properties in the c.f.d. and to the issuance of a bond in an amount not to exceed $1.4 billion. pursuant to the joint community facilities agreement between the city and the transbay joint powers authority, 82.6% of the c.f.d. bond proceeds are to be used to finance the downtown rail extension, including the sales force transit center train box and rooftop park. the remaining 17.4% of the protease -- proceeds will finance public infrastructure in the district including streets and sidewalks, transportation enhancements and open space. as shown in this high-level summary, there are several sources of funding for phase one of the transit center project. of the approximately $2.3 billion approved budget for phase one, the items under consideration for approval by the board today relate only to

the c.f.d. bond proceeds line item. as you can see, approximately $360 million of the phase i approved budget is expected to be funded by c.f.d. bond proceeds. to dive a little bit deeper into that line item, i would like to remind the board that in january of 2017, the city, in partnership with m.t.c., closed a short-term interim cop financing in an amount not to exceed $260 million to close the funding gap of approximately $250 million for phase one of the project. to date, 103 million of the interim financing has been drawn to fund project costs. in november of last year, the city issued to the first trench of c.f.d. special tax bonds. of which $149 million a proceeds were allocated to phase one. we are here today to request

approval for the second bonds. in a minute, i will go into more detail on the size and plan to use of those bond proceeds. before i do, i wanted to remind the board that the c.f.d. bonds are limited obligation and that they are secured by and payable from special taxes levied on certain properties within the district. slide six of your presentation capture the transit center district plan area which is bounded by folsom street, stewart street, market street and between second and third street as shown by the dotted redline. the sales force transit center is shown in the middle of the map outlined in grey. as you can see, there are yellow boxes highlighting different developments. there are currently five completed buildings which are subject to the special tax levy and a sixth building is expected to become subject to the special tax levy shortly after receiving its pco which is expected later

this month. slide seven is a snapshot of the sources and uses of the proposed 2018 bond. please note these are not to exceed figures including up to 200 million-dollar par of the bond which would result in not to exceed the project proceeds of roughly $179 million. although the not to exceed proposed bond amount is $200 million, given current bond market conditions, the office of public finance anticipates issuing about $173 million of special tax bonds. of the total proceeds of the second issuance, roughly $128 million would be expected to be dedicated to tjpa to finance or refinance portions of the sales force transit center. this allocation represents the 82.6% share of bond proceeds that i mentioned earlier.

a portion of the remaining 17.4 million dollars 74 -- 17.4% at bond proceeds are roughly $26 million, will be dedicated to public works. and the remaining portion, approximately $1 million is estimated to go to bart to finance capacity enhancements at the embarcadero and montgomery train stations. finally, as a technical requirement, this resolution, the proposed resolution would confirm the annexation of the property located at 250 howard street, also known as park tower into the transbay c.f.d. district which is a precondition to levy special taxes on that property. this includes my formal presentation on the financing. i am happy to answer any questions related to the financing or the financing program. there are also staff here from the tjpa, as well as public

works and bart to answer any project related questions. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions? >> supervisor cohen: ok. is the spending at all related to the issues we have been dealing with when it comes to infrastructure? safety and craft specifically? >> the 82.6% of proceeds would go towards it to the tjpa for the transit center project. i will have mark speak to more specifics on the project. >> supervisor cohen: it would go to the project and it would not be going to the transportation district? >> it is specifically for the project. the remaining 17.4 of their proceeds will go to enhancements outside of the transit center itself. >> supervisor cohen: all right

before we hear him, let's go to public comment and listen to the budget analyst and see what her thoughts are. >> we reported specifically on the appropriation for review of the city as they pointed out. the agreement is 17% of the bond proceeds that would go towards these projects. we wrote a report based on $200 million in bonds being issued. it probably will be closer to 173 million. the actual project amount to be closer to 26 million rather than 29 million. on page 7 of our report, we outline the infrastructure project fees that would be managed by the department of public works and we recommend approval of the appropriation for this amount. >> supervisor cohen: thank you so i want to make sure you are not confusing you with your wonderful words. spending is related to the

issues about infrastructure tax safety and the cracks. >> yes. market can speak more towards what will fund the fix, but it is -- of the project itself back and specifically funding the train box component and train related component as well as the rooftop park. market can speak more to the detail. >> supervisor cohen: that's fine. thank you. mark? >> thank you. good morning, supervisors. i'm the executive director with a trance state joint -- transbay joint power authority. the spending here is to complete the project. it is not necessarily to pay for the cracks that we found in the beams. the cracks that we found in the beams could be a result of fabrication, installation or design issues. once we find out what the cause is we will be asking for a responsible quality to refund

the costs. our intention is not to fund the costs but our intention is to ask the contractor to fund that cost or the designer to funds that cost depending on the responsible parties. >> supervisor cohen: what is the plan if the contractor or the folks that you plan to fund the cost refuse? >> we would take legal action to force them to do it. >> supervisor cohen: you would not come to the -- >> we have no intentions to ask for more money. you have given us plenty of money. >> supervisor cohen: i agree. ok. how much revenue would go towards -- anna said a portion. i think i heard 17%. i'm not sure. i want to hear how much of this item will go towards the transbay repairs. >> repairs or the transit -- completing the project? the city provided us $260 million to complete the project.
