6:06 pm
wa wave. >> president cohen: i want to make sure that zuckerberg should be in the head, not the last. they are in the life saving business, and i think they deserve to have access to the most up to date technology. i have a few questions for, i think -- i don't know. are you eric schafer? >> i am. >> president cohen: when will 5 d-g -- 5-g infrastructure be available to the city, and how will this d.o.s. help provide this to the city. >> d.o.s. was originally designed for police and ambulance radios. the current transmitter's
6:07 pm
deployed through zuckerberg operate at that building, so it would have to be improved at that transmitter level as well as the verizon box going into those transmitters. we would be working with the city and the vendors to develop what that system would look like. >> president cohen: do you know what that needs to happen for the investment to become a reality? >> right now, it's still in the test phase. they're putting small pockets around and doing that. whenever we start talking about infrastructure and improvements in nascient technology. if we were to put in every possible technology, it's got to prove itself and bear itself out. linda garrule over at the city's technology, she looks for the infrastructure to start within
6:08 pm
the city in about three to five years. >> president cohen: okay. what role does d.p.h. play in the selection of the vendors that are going to be providing service to public health facilities. >> so again, the d.a.s. is primarily for radio communications. as far as vendors coming in offering services, we would be ubiquitous. we would provide services to any carrier, as patients coming into sf general would have any carrier. >> president cohen: okay. thank you. colleagues, do you have any questions? >> okay. i just want to make sure, as we're moving into this 5-g territory, i just want to make sure that institutions that serve poor, indigent, immigrant
6:09 pm
people are not being left behind and that they also have access to high quality technology. thank you. we'll go to public comment. any member of the public that would like to comment on item number one, please come forward. all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. i'll make a motion to send this to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we will send this as a committee report. we'll take that without objection. thank you. all right. moving on, item 5, please. >>clerk: item number 5 is a resolution authorizing the director of real estate to authorize a lease extension for the real property located at 759 -- 755 and 759 vanness avenue, term commencing upon approval by the board of supervisors for a monthly base rent of approximately $45,000. >> president cohen: thank you. thank you, mr. penny, for being

6:11 pm
similar nature in the nair. we just did a study of 13 comparable -- i'm sorry, 12 comparables in the area, which is a -- within a quarter mile of this particular location. the average of those comps was $43.98. this rent rate is $40. >> president cohen: so what you're saying is that we are getting an excellent bang for our buck. >> we are, indeed. >> president cohen: all right. i appreciate that. are there any other details that you'd like to present to this body? >> no. i would just point out that there is a rent escalator. it escalates annually by the consumer price index, but that escalation is bracketed, no less than 3% but no more than 5%, so there are no big spikes or surprises on either side. that's all i have for you unless
6:12 pm
you have other questions for me. >> president cohen: i don't have any questions at this time. colleagues? what we're going to do is take public comment. public comment on item 5. is there any member of the public that would like to comment on this real property lease extension? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. let's make a motion to approve and send to the full board with a positive recommendation and we can take that without objection. item 6, please. >>clerk: item number 6 is a resolution retroactively authorizing the police department to accept and expend a boating safety enforcement grant from the california department of park and recreation. >> president cohen: thank you. thank you very much. this is sponsored by kathrin sta stefani, is there any remarks that you'd like to make? okay. thank you. good morning. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is patrick young.
6:13 pm
i'm with the san francisco police department. i'm the grant manager. today we're asking for acceptance of the 2018 boating safety and enforcement grant award from the california department of parks and recreation division of boat and water ways. the grant funds will be used to upgrade the navigation and safety equipment on two of our moose boot vessels, and it enhances our ability to locate and recover evidence, property or to locate drowning victims that are subsurface. funds will be used to purchase two personal watercraft with a transport trailer to replace two of our ageing personal watercraft in our fleet. just for a little bit of
6:14 pm
background, the sfpd marine unit is the primary marine unit for san francisco and it's responsible for enforcing the 64 square nimiles of shoreline, an ferry and cruise ship terminals. with this grant award, we'll be able to extend the useful life of our two vessels and provide our marine department with updated equipment. >> president cohen: do you know how often the police department uses these marine vessels? >> it depends upon the type of incident. they do use -- they do have multiple vessels that they're -- that they have a choice of using. as far as specific numbers, i don't have it on hand.
6:15 pm
>> president cohen: how many marine vessels do they have on hand, including these new ones? >> i'd have to check back. i can get you that after -- >> president cohen: all right. so this is an accept and expend gran oriente for the purchase-- for the acceptance and expend grant for two new watercraft? >> it's for two new watercraft to expend the useful life. >> president cohen: and you're the -- >> i'm the grant manager. >> president cohen: okay. does that conclude your presentation? >> yes. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. we're going to take public comment on these items. if there's any member of the public to make any comment on this, please come down. seeing none, public comment is
6:16 pm
closed. i'll make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. items 7, 8, and 9 call together. >> item seven is approving airport automated lease between new zoom l.l.c. with a minimum annual guarantee of is $50,000 for the first year of the lease. item number 8 is a resolution approving the terminal two specialty retail concession lease number five, lease number 18-0156 between express spa and san francisco and national l.l.c. and the city and county of san francisco for a minimum annual guarantee of $145,000 for the first year of the lease. item 9 is a resolution approving the expedited travelers services lease 10-1089 between al claire l.l.c. by the city and county of
6:17 pm
san francisco acting by the airport commission with a minimum annual guarantee of $1.5 million for the first year of the lease. >> president cohen: mr. young, thank you very much for reading that. we've got kathy widener for the san francisco airport. these are ones for vending machines, one for express spa, and one for clear, which surprises shuttle services. >> correct. the airport is seeking your approval for three retail releases with new zoom, express spa, and all clear. as chair cohen just mentioned, new zoom will operate specialized vending machines throughout the airport. express spa will operate a wellness center and spa concept in terminal two, and all clear offers expedited traveler services for checkpoint access
6:18 pm
throughout all airport terminals. the new zoom and all clear leases both have initial rental terms of five years with two one-year options to extend and express spa has a rental term of two years with no options to extend. all vendors will pay the minimum guarantee or percentage rent based on total revenues. over the term of the leases, the airport will receive at least $9.265 million based on the annual guaranteed rent. the budget analyst has reviewed the terms of the lease and recommends approval, but i would be happy to answer questions that you may have. >> president cohen: i have a few questions. given all clear is a unique lease, skb it doesn't go through the competitive bid process, how do you determine the value of
6:19 pm
the lease? >> it does go through the competitive review process, although they are currently the only provide vendor that offers this service. the t.s.a. does have a similar service in precheck that is basically front of the line access after they've done the screening process, so we do have something to compare it against in terms of services. do you mean rent? is that what you're asking, how we determine the rent? >> president cohen: yes. >> i believe it's based on the previous -- we had an agreement with them before, and they operate at airports around the country, so it's competitive based on what they are charged at other airport for the same amount of passengers, how people they can enroll. >> president cohen: okay. so how do we determine the revenues? >> the airport received a percent -- either the minimum annual guarantee or a percentage of how many memberships they're able to offer.
6:20 pm
>> president cohen: so is it by the number of passengers using it on a daily basis or a number that sign up for a trial? >> it's either -- it's either the minimum annual guarantee or the number of passengers who use the all clear service at s.f.o. >> president cohen: and the minimum number of guarantee, is that -- was that -- how does that come about? >> i believe, and i will clarify this for you, but my understanding that it's based on our previous experience with all clear and on the same services that they provide at other airports. it's worth noting that the minimum annual guarantee is not -- we're not expecting them to pay that. in the past, they've paid on the percentage based rent, so it's a greater amount, so the minimum guarantee is lower than what we actually believe we will receive. >> president cohen: i see. so all clear is a vendor with the airport. >> yes. >> president cohen: is t.s.a. precheck also a vendor?
6:21 pm
>> precheck is a service that is offered through the t.s.a., although you do pay to enroll in it, it's not a vendor at the airport. we don't get rent from them, we don't have an agreement with them, it's all through the t.s.a. >> president cohen: all right. and what's the distinction between the two? >> one is a private company and one is part of the t.s.a. process that you go through. their rates are relatively competitive. they're about the same. i think it's about $150 a year for each. t.s.a. does certify all clear. they wouldn't be able to offer the service unless they weren't certified by t.s.a. it's just a choice, it's a different company than t.s.a. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. colleagues, are there any other questions for oothy widener?
6:22 pm
we're going to go to public comment on items 7, 8, and 9. seeing that there are no members of the public, i'll close public comment. i'll make a motion to send that to the full board with a positive recommendation. >>clerk: yes. items 7, 8, and 9 have been -- >> president cohen: pardon me. i totally forgot about the b.l.a. report. i'm so sorry. let me make a motion to rescind the action that we took on items 7, 8, and 9. we do that without objection. thank you. and my apologies, please. >> good morning, chair cohen and members of the committee. the proposed resolutions approve leases between the airport as landlord and three tenants as miss widener explained with new zoom for auto mated re-taylor vending machines, with express
6:23 pm
spa, l.l.c. as a wellness concession for a term of seven years, and with all clear l.l.c. as an expedited travel service for a term of five years. between late april and early may, the airport received five proposals for three leases. separate three member panels reviewed the contract for each r.f.p., and you can see the different competitors and the ones that were chosen. as miss widener explained, there was only one proposer for expedited travel services. that is all clear, l.l.c., which is the only company that provides passengers expedited access through security checkpoints. table two on page 18 of our report outlines the terms of the proposed leases. the new zoom l.l.c. vending
6:24 pm
machines is for a term of five years, with two one-year options to extend, and a minimum annual guarantee of 150,000 with increases to that minimal annual guarantee based on c.p.i. or the greater of the -- minimum annual guarantee or percentage of gross revenues. the second lease, express spa, is for a term of seven years. there's no options to extend. the minimum annual guarantee is $145,000 or the -- and -- so the airport will receive that or the greater of that or the percentage of gross revenues. and finally, all clear, l.l.c., for a term of five years with two one-year options to extend with a make up mum annual guaranteed rent of 1.5 million. the airport would receive that or the greater -- the airport would receive that or if the percentage of gross revenues is
6:25 pm
greater, then they would receive 12.5% of gross revenues. under that, the airport would receive -- so between the three leases, the airport would receive about 1.8 million in minimum annual guaranteed rent in the first year and at least 1,925,000 over the next year in the annual terms of the lease. the airport does expect to receive the percentage rent which would exceed the minimum annual guaranteed. the breakdown of the minimum annual guaranteed rent received by the airport without c.p.i. adjustment is shown in the chart in our report and would total $965,000 over the terms of the leases, and we recommend approval of the proposed resolutions. >> president cohen: thank you. and my apologies for skipping over you earlier, as well as the other item, item 5. all right. thank you for your opinion, and
6:26 pm
colleagues, i don't think that influences or changes our decision either way. we are in agreement. let's send items 7, 8, and 9 before -- to the full board with a positive recommendation. before we do that, let's take public comment again on items 7, 8, 8, and 9. seeing none, public comment is closed. all right. i'll make a motion to send to the full board with a positive recommendation. all right. thank you, miss widener. mr. clerk, please call item 10. >>clerk: item 10 is a resolution authorizing the public defender to end into an agreement with bob cat photography, l.l.c. >> president cohen: do i have a representative from the public defender's office? welcome. >> good morning, supervisors.
6:27 pm
jeff adaci is in the middle of a trial today. he just started a murder trial, so he asked if i could come and perhaps answer any questions that you might have. >> president cohen: no problem. so this is a resolution allowing the public defender to appear in a tellievision mini series. the public defender will receive approximately $15,000 perepisode, and that money will be used to support local organizations that seek to reduce juvenile crime in low-income neighborhoods. i think that this is a pretty straightforward matter. let's go ahead and take public comment. i don't know if you have any questions. simple agreement. okay if there's any member of the public that would like to comment on item ten. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. so let's -- i'll make a motion to approve and send to the full board with a positive
6:28 pm
recommendation. all right. colleagues, thank you, mr. gonzalez for being here. this motion is passed unanimously. thank you. >>clerk: i believe we need to go back to item one as we are unable to send it out as a committee report today. >> president cohen: yes, mr. clerk. that's correct. i'll make a motion to rescind the vote on item 1, and we'll take that without objection. thank you very much and reissue to send to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we will take that without objection. all right. is there any other business before this body? >>clerk: that completes the business before this body today. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. we're adjourned. excited.

corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. a cross between castro and gastronomic. the bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. >> skylight market has been here since 1940. it's been in the family since 1964. his father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. at that point sam revamped the market. he installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. he created community through food.
6:54 pm
so, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. they found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. they realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. so, that's been a huge success. in 2008, sam started 18
6:55 pm
reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. >> 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. and we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more in-depth conversation. we grew and now we offer -- i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher training workshop where san francisco unified public school teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. we range all over the place. we really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. a lot of organizations i think which say we're going to teach cooking or we're going to teach
6:56 pm
gardening, or we're going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. we say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really community oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. we want to build community and we're using food as a means to that end. >> we have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat. we have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. people come in in groups, meet friends that they didn't even know they had before. our whole set up is focused on communal table. you can sit across from someone and start a conversation. we're excited about that. >> i never worked in catering or food service before. it's been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. >> it is getting really
6:57 pm
popular. she's a wonderful teacher and i think it is a perfect match for us. it is not about home cooking. it's really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. >> i have always loved eating food. for me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. it always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. empower their want to be around people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, we're offering a whole spectrum of offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are
6:58 pm
super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. >> we have such a philosophical mission around bringing people together around food. it's so natural for me to come here. >> we want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers. each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they have the resources necessary to do that. >> are you inspired? maybe you want to learn how to have a patch in your backyard
