>> thank you so much to supervisor mandelman, and to judith and ramon to ir-17 years of organizing. i want to recognize our next supervisor on deck, supervisor peskin, who is recognizing jack boatwright. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, acting chair kim. today, on the eve of the 29 anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake, and as we hold a conference on the city's tall building initiative, i thought it appropriate to recognize the work of 38 year potrero hill resident dr. jack boatright. he served as a geologist with

the united states geological service for 38 years and serves as its program coordinator here in northern california. he graduated from stanford in 1975 with a b.a. in physics and a masters in geophysics, and then from columbia in 1980 with a doctorate . he worked to glean a better understanding of what happened during earthquakes of the past, including extensive analysis of ground shaking intense sit from the 1868 magnitude 6.8 fault quake in the east way, and the 1970 quake here on the san andreas fault. he added his own field work, fascinating field work, investigating percentages of

toppled tombstones in cemeteries in alameda, marin, mendocino, and contra costa county. he formed productive partnerships with scientists, engineers, and public officials, including here at the city and county of san francisco like brian strong at the local, state, and national levels. dr. boatwright was an active member of our caps program, the community action plan for seismic safety that led to ground breaking 30-year earthquake safety improvement plan for the city, we call it esip in our parlance, and worked with spur, and abag, the association of bay area governments in order to make the bay area more resilient. dr. boatwright was known for his

good human, scientist knowledge, and outspoken pursuit of the truth, and today i would like to offer his wife, tia, and children, our sincere condolences on his passing and ask that we adjourn today's meeting in his memory. i have a proclamation from the board of supervisors that i would like to give his widow,

tia. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so the final commendation is actually coming from my office, and i have the pleasure of bringing up mike and jean operama from the turk and larkin deli. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so this couple -- and please come up to the mic -- is no stranger to most people in this room. you have probably, at some point in your time at city hall, ventured to the turk and larkin deli to eat one of their delicious salads or sandwiches. [applause]

>> supervisor kim: yes. this business has been around as long as i have been alive. it first opened -- mike and jean first opened their shop in 1978, and they have now been in business for 40 years in the tenderloin neighborhood. [applause] >> supervisor kim: ten years into their ownership, they were able to purchase the building in 1989, when the landlord offer it had to mike and jean, and it was sold to them to become a mini market for the neighborhood as they had their sights set on something big that they can bring to the neighborhood. they opened up their deli just a few -- just a year after getting married, and after going through many ideas, they finally decided to name it the turk and larkin deli, the cross streets of the deli's location in san francisco. they made fresh made salads, as well as a number of different sandwich options. mike is a native of jordan.

he i mgrated to san francisco with the dreams of becoming a pilot. jean quit school to work in a sewing factory for six years so that her siblings could attend high school and college. she then later i mgrated to the u.s. where they took an e.s.l. class together. she would apparently bump her elbow against mike to get their attention. i guess the teacher noticed they were a good pair, and so partnered them up as conversation partners. their english greetings and pleasantries evolved into a very different kind of conversation which led into a marriage of over 40 years, and 40 years of serving the tenderloin neighborhood with some of the

freshest and most delicious food in the city. [applause] >> supervisor kim: as you can tell, mike and jean have a lot of fans that actually came all the way to city hall from the tenderloin when they got this commendation. mike introduced us to jordanian staples along before this became it things to eat here in san francisco. he often talked about the rising costs of living here in san francisco, and we often joke about what was -- became the $10 sa sandwich and now is the $20 sandwich, you still could get a salami sandwich at turk and larkin for $6.25. their five original salads swelled to 30, and they continued for 40 years to become

this anchor institution, nourishing the tenderloin for decades. just to talk a little bit about what their commitment means and what it means to be a small business owner, jean wakes up at 3:30 a.m. and drives from her home to the deli. they arrived by 5:00 a.m. to ensure that the salads will be ready at 10:00 a.m. for our consumption. they've worked incredible hard over the last four decades to fill our lives with love, laughter and unforgettable meals. the deli has been kept the way that it is so long due to its cl clientele. according to jean, everybody wants love, and we have to give love in order to get love.

they talk to their customers every day: judges, secretaries, police officers, neighbors, and those who are down on their luck on the streets in the tenderloin, as well. they know -- everyone knows mike and jean by their first name, and others -- and they know their clientele by their standard orders. you are both so beloved in our community. in fact, four years ago when jean underwent hip surgery, in fact, getting both sides of her hips replaced and was diagnosed with breast cancer, between surgeries, friends and customers alike brought cards and gifts to mike to take home to jean. neither was ready to retire until recently, and we are so sad to hear you go, but no one deserves this retirement than the two of you, and we hope to continue to see you as beloved figures in the neighborhood. you may not be feeding us, but

we want you to stay a part of our community. i want to acknowledge their three daughters for their contributions to the business, as well, and thank you for your hoye 40 year contribution to the tenderloin neighborhood. >> thank you. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so you're welcome to say a few words. >> do you want to say anything? >> thank you very much for the -- i'd just like to say, to us, it's very big things. yeah. we working in the san francisco city for 40 years, but we never been in the city hall and to the things like this, okay? so thank you very much. and i say that we aren't imgrants. we just work for our living.

the tenderloin people, they may be poor, but they're going to be somebody else. mother to daughter, how's keeping, father to son, construction jobs, and all they doing these things to become a good family. their lives, they do that. and now, their kids, they grow up, they work in the hospital technician, and the -- the parents, they did all good job and things like that. when i see that, i'm so happy. i came imgrant, carry two luggages, but i became a life like this, and i'm so thankful to god. everything i do is under god. his blessing is very important, yeah. but i think people work -- honest work to anywhere, anyplace, any time. god bless you, everybody.

thank you very much.

a resolution to declare the results of the special elections for the ifrd, number 2. for item 44, it's an ordinance to create city infrastructure and to affirm the ceqa determination. to affirm the findings under the california environmental quality act and to approve other actions there with. >> president cohen: all right. thank you for that. so colleagues, we now turn to a number of items related to the formation of the infrastructure and revitalization financing district for an area in the vicinity of pier 70. it's commonly known as the hoedown yard. these items before the board today are critical to a promise that the city have made to

affordab affordable housing connected to the site. forest city's pier 70 project will include 40% affordable how's, the irfd will allow the city to commit a portion of the property tax revenues generated in the hoedown yard for affordable housing. so an infrastructure and financing plan, also known as an i.f.p. has been prepared and made available to the public. and the board of supervisors in its capacity as a legislative body of the only taxing body that will allocate a taxing increment to the irfd has already approved the i.f.d. it will undertake a fairly lengthy process, a fairly lengthy proceedings required by

the california gore code required to form the irfd and formalize issuance of bonds which includes a public hearing and a landowner election. we will hear a staff report on the matter from the staff as well as consultants about the proposed irfd, followed by comments. then, we will open up the hearing for public -- then, we will open up the public hearing. we've got brad benson here this afternoon from the port authority, who will begin this discussion with a brief presentation. >> president cohen, members of the board of supervisors, brad benson, representing poured director elaine forbes. thank you for hearing this -- altogether of these items today, and president cohen, thank you for your sponsorship of this. so i've got a brief presentation. pier 70 is a project that the board approved last fall through

a disposition and development agreement and a financing plan, all of which presumed trailing approvals of the public financing to build this new neighborhood. today, we're here with one part of this public financing, a key strategy to develop affordable housing at pier 70. so just a brief reminder that the pier 70 special use district is a 35-acre mixed use development site with approximately 1600 to 3,000 residential units, 30% of which will be affordable, and a mix of commercial, retail, arts, and light industrial uses. we expect 470 units of affordable housing at the site. this is -- will be accomplished through 20% inclusionary on-site in the residential rental buildings and three 100% affordable housing parcels developed by the mayor's office

of housing and community development. those parcels will be developed through fees generated by the project and the irfd funding that's before you today. so the infrastructure resi revitalization district is going to be formed over what is currently a privately owned parcel, currently owned by pg&e known as the hoedown yard, shown here in purple. it's estimated to generate $18 million for housing at the site. the remainder after debt service is paid will go to the city's general fund, and we would respectfully request your -- your adoption of all of the measures before you today, including adoption of the irfd,

the financing plan for the irfd, calling the special election, declaring the results of that election, creating the irfd, and and authorizing the issuance bonds. with that, i'm available to answer any questions you may have. >> president cohen: all right. colleagues, are there any questions for mr. benson? all right. well, at this particular time, the board will hold a formal public hearing on the formation of the irfp and a creation of the i.f.p. all right. do we have any public comment on items 40 through 45? public comment is open for item 40 through 45. you'll have two minutes to comment. thank you. mr. wright, the floor is yours. >> last night, there was an

educational show done by professional investigators pertaining to this area, the whole shipyard. it demonstrated how in 1936, on or about 128 battleships were in the facility of two nuclear atomic explosions. as a result, the explosions took place in the ocean around all these battleships -- sfgov, please. as you can see, where my fingers are pointing, these are commercial military battleships that were in the vicinity of one of the nuclear explosions. this explosion contaminated all the battleships in the area where the explosion took place. there was a second explosion that also exploded and atomic

cancer materials and radio active activity was penetrated through all the area and ships in the ocean. moreover, there was ships that came back to the hunters point shipyard and were so badly n annihilated by the explosion that they were towed to the shipyard at hunters point. this is one of the ships that were damaged, and this is one of the articles that explains how the contamination takes place at the shipyard. moreover, this place is used for guinea pigs as animals were given rao active materials, and here's one of the letters from his staff explaining to his superior how they were testing dogs and using radio active

material. here's another -- [inaudible] >>clerk: madam president, the speaker's time is conkplcluded. >> president cohen: yeah. next speaker. >> tome gilberti, 1600 to 3,000 affordable housing units, and where are the units for the seniors? where are the units for the people that are on social security? we are are the units for section 8? where are the units for the graduates out of the navigation centers? we need to reweave our society, take the pressure off our

housing, and every building's going from a plan to a project. we now need to introduce this 20% or less of dignity housing. i mean, where are we going to do it? somewhere else? people that are going to develop this property need to know this is a new direction, this is a new standard. we need to include more housing for the less fortunates of our world that won't be able to take care of ourselves. thank you. let's start now. >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker, please. >> board of supervisors, let me tell you that pier 70, which is not hunters point shipyard but was kind of an annex, ships were

built, but what you supervisors do not know but mr. benson and the port knows about it but has kept very quiet about it, is 1 million tons of coal tar linked to the power plant, and you have people who kind of listen to conceptual plans. my definition of a conceptual plan is kind of like a dream. you get up from your dream, and you face your worst nightmare. so we have the board of supervisors, we have the mayor, we have the other authorities that the department of building inspection, they have been caught again and again and again asleep at the cockpit. now who's going to cleanup the 1

million tons of coal tar? who's going to cleanup the huge two spots of ammonia spills? how the heck do i know that? 'cause i worked at the presidio. i had a position over there, and i had access to information that some dumb fools don't have. but yet, they say they represent. who do you represent and why don't you represent without doing your homework? thank you very much. >> president cohen: are there any other member of the public that would like to comment on these items? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. the hearing is also closed. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: we'll now begin considering items 40 through 42 which adopt the i.f.p. and call the special election. and before considering these items, i may -- may i have a

motion to amend these items to change the hearing date to today's date being october 16? motion made by supervisor fewer, seconded by supervisor yee. and without objection, these amendments are approved. thank you. colleagues, with can he take items 40 through 42, same house, same call? madam clerk, has the house changed from the previous vote? >>clerk: it is the same as the previous vote. >> president cohen: all right. we'll take it same house, same call. without objection, these items are adopted. all right. at this time, i'd like to ask the clerk to open the ballots and announce the results of the election. >>clerk: yes. we are in receipt of the canvas and state results for the special election regarding the infrastructure and revitalization district number two, the hoedown yard, which the director of election has certified today, october 16, 2018. there were three landowner votes cast 100% in their favor, the

i.f.d.'s favor, with no majority protest. >> president cohen: so we may know consider and adopt certain resolutions and one ordinance related to the formation of the irfd, is that correct? >>clerk: that is correct. >> president cohen: again, before considering these items, may i have a motion to amend the hearing date to today's date, october 16, 2018? motion made by supervisor fewer, seconded by supervisor yee. thank you. without objection, these amendments are approved. colleagues, can we take items 43 through 45, same house, same call? all right. without objection, these items are passed. madam clerk, please call the next special order. >>clerk: the next items are items 46 through 49. these items were heard and public comment was taken on the

certification of the final environmental impact report on october 2. the board continued this item to today's meeting specifically for further narrow discussion from the public regarding the air quality mitigation measure report submitted october 2 by the by area air quality and item 46 is the certification of the final environmental impact report. item 47 through 49 are the motions that are associated with the feir. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. colleagues what we have before us are two appeals for the final environmental impact report for the proposed india basin mixed use project. these appeals involve analysis of adequacy, sufficiency and completeness of the final environmental impact report. however, pursuant to the motion approved during the last board

appeal hearing, all comments and discussions will be limited to new air quality mitigation measure. again, we're not taking general public comment but we're taking comment on air quality mitigation measure, air quality impacts, and any further mitigations. we will proceed as follows. first, they'll be two minutes for the commenter to present the facts of their appeal, and then, we will have two minutes for michaelly from the planning department to present the planning department's analysis for the reasons why they're certifying the feir, and there'll be up to two minutes to present the bay area management

district to present their reasons to certify the feir. we will up have to two minutes for public commenters to speak in support of the affirmation of the environmental impact report. finally, each appellant will have up to two minutes for a rebuttal argument. colleagues, without objection, may i open the hearing? all right. thank you. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: the hearing is now open. i'd like to acknowledge any of the supervisors that are wishing to open up any remarks. all right. seeing none, i'll share a couple remarks. so colleagues, at this time, we've had an opportunity to meet with bacmd. they came in two weeks ago with a memo about air quality mitigation suggestions. the project sponsor, most of the

appellants involved in the appeal were all caught off guard. we've discussed this project at length in committee and before this full body, so i think everyone is pretty much familiar at this point. so i'll just offer a few highlights about the project just as a reminder. so this enveloped the 700 innes avenue, and 900 innes avenue, and india basin shoreline. it is compromised of 20 acres of privately owned land, six acres of park and rec open space, and six acres of unimproved and unaccepted right-of-way. it has the possibly to provide over 1500 units of housing and a host of community benefits through the life of the project. without desire for any further delay, i'm looking forward to this hearing. i see no names on the roster from my colleagues. i will now ask and invite the appellants forward to present

their case. the appellant, please come forward to present your case. as a reminder, all comments and discussion will be limited to the new air quality mitigation measure, and just as a reminder, again, you'll have two minutes to do so. well come, mr. bradley angel. >> first of all, giving us two minutes, it's ridiculous. it's insulting to democracy and engagement. secondly, as president of the board cohen acknowledged, that when the air district, you know, talked behind closed doors, while we were in here at -- two weeks ago, and it was decided to continue this hearing, i want to remind you, notice did not go out, there was no language access once again, violating civil rights, and -- but it gets

worse. that you're considering this, yet the air district and the planning department agree that the alleged mitigation that never went through ceqa, even if it could be done, even if it was feasible, but it was not, it doesn't appear, would not reduce the impacts to less than significant. the impacts -- you know, you talked about a host of benefits for the community, benefits like significant, unhealthy, unmitiga unmitigatable, unavoidable pollution in a community that the air district, san francisco and the state of california all acknowledge have too much air pollution. i want to add if one other thing. that's a benefit that can kill people. this morning, myself and my colleague had a discussion with two air district representatives. you know what? they didn't even read the e.i.r. because they disputed what the

e.i.r. says, which is that it could result in exceedances violations of air quality standards. they literally said they disagree, so i sent them the exact quote. this is pathetic, and i don't know what's going on here, but the planning department and the planning commission -- [inaudible] >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> yes, madam president, board of supervisors, i'm the general manager for archimedes banya. i am here today on behalf of mikhail brodsky because he had to travel for work. we've been in this since 2015. we believe we are the descendants of suit raback.

i'm really worried about the construction that's about to happen in our back yard. there are a few reasons why, you know? first of all, the dust that's going to come up, it's going to be sucked in that building. it's just right where the construction starts. there's a few things that's really concerning me. what happens when you dig in or they dig in, and they find something in there? what if it's released in the air, and what if it's sucked inside my building? what happens to us? what happens when the trucks with -- big trucks with big engines and fumes and big generators are just going on and on and on right to where our business? it's going to kill us. the other thing, you know, talking about radio active materials, you know? couple of weeks ago, they said how, if you find something, there's a contingency plan, but no one planned what it is.

is it a contingency plan to give us a coupon for a doctor? i don't know. now, yesterday if you saw the bay area news yesterday, you saw a portion where the navy left contamiation. it's the land right next to where these buildings have being built. it's just a single wire fence that's in between these two lands. so you know, think my big concern, you know, please save archimedes, it's a really good business. we have really good employees working there. i'm not saying construction shouldn't be done or we don't need housing, but do something sensible. [inaudible] >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker, please.

>> marie harrison with bayview hunt ers point and green acti hunters point green action. i i'm puzzled because here we are again, asking for the same thing. we're asking, board of supervisors -- excuse me. i have this weird thing going on. i would really like for the supervisors to face me and see me when i'm talking to them. it's only respectful, okay? i have not disrespected you, and i would like for you to respect me by facing me, all of you. you want to ask them to be a little respectful here, please? now, as i was saying it is difficult to come back here again and again and again to

keep telling you that you keep ignoring the health risk for our community, and people like myself who are already sick, who can't take anymore. are we supposed to be discounted? are we? are you going to cast your vote to allow a property to move forward that your own e.i.r. states will cause damage and increase the amount of damage to the human reseceptors within ou community in we're not just talking about seniors such as myself, we're talking about youngsters, and we're talking about babies. and i think you guys owe it to us before you do the wrong thing and listen to all of this garbage. and i call it garbage because it will not -- nothing that they

have said so far will limit the damage that is going to happen to us. and i think that you owe it to us. you didn't follow our lead with the shipyard, and look what's happening. you're going to do it again or are you going to do it again? your vote will tell me. [inaudible] >> president cohen: all right. thank you. again, this is an opportunity -- this is not general public comment, this is for the appellant. >> i've been coming to city hall for a long time, so there are some people, they themselves do not know how to conduct a meeting. now, number one -- and this is for the city attorney and the controller. if anybody has taken money from the developer, they should recuse themselves. i know about three or four people that have taken money from the developer. they should recuse themselves, so that everybody should understand that. now, having said that, the first

time i came here, they made me sit down there for seven hours, and we didn't have the hearing on this. then, the second time, right in the middle of the thing, oh, you know, the bay area released these documents, so you guys all have to come, so this is the third time. [please stand by]

>> what we're living with already is enough.

we don't need any more buildings going up right now. i appreciate if you agree with us. >> president cohen: thank you, next speaker. >> hello. i'm leo dispitin a long-view res dents -- resident of bay view point. i was 6 years old and i've seen a lot of people come and go but my mom passed away from cancer in '99. the damage in bay view is so outstanding we have young kids that have problems in schools. they can't play p.e. and stuff like that. we have kids that are born with cancer and stuff like that. it's not about the buildings. i don't want to stop nobody from working. everybody needs to work to support themselves and to be self-sufficient. that's fine and dandy but lives

come first. we have to matter. we matter to us and we should matter. if they can come up with a better way like the shipyard. the shipyard was cleaned but it turned out not to be clean. we knew that in the beginning. you can't leave all the chemicals in the ground and take off the top dirt and say it's clean. it doesn't work like that. i didn't know nothing about this i didn't care but now i know something i care about the lives being lost in bay view hunter's point. >> i don't appreciate what's going on
