from the very beginning, this whole transition of public housing and affordable housing was a good idea. but many, many residents didn't think it would ever actually happen. it's been a life changing experience. and i'm truly grateful for the whole initiative and all those that work on the whole sf initiative. they've done a wonderful job accommodating the residents, who for many years have lived in delap tated housing. now they have quality housing. i was on a street where the living room and the kitchen and stairs. it wasn't large enough to accommodate. the children are grown. i had the accomplish of having a dishwasher in my home. i really like that. [laughter] i really like not having to wash
8:08 am
dishes by hand. we still do it from time to time. the mayor's office has been a real friend to us, a partner. we know that our city supports us. i love san francisco. just to be able to stay in my community and continue to help the residents who live here and continue to see my neighborhoods move into new housing, it's been a real joy. it's been a real joy. wa >> the hon. london breed: all right. good afternoon, everybody. my name's london breed, and i'm mayor of the city and county of san francisco, and i'm truly
8:09 am
excited to be here on this festive occasion with so many city departments and so many community members who made this project possible. i want to start by thanking president of the board of supervisors, malia cohen. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: she has been working on this project since she became a member of the board of supervisors, and thank goodness, president cohen, that you're able to complete it on your way out. doesn't it feel good? today, we celebrate this project, a project that will bring almost 1600 units of housing, 25% which will be below market rate, and 200,000 square feet of commercial office space or space in general, 14 acres of public park open space, and we will, of course, be increasing
8:10 am
transit options with pedestrian and bike lanes and improving our city streets and infrastructure in this particular neighborhood. this is all as a result of an incredible partnership between city departments, as i said, and the residents of this community. because as our city grows, we need to make sure that all of our neighbors -- our neighborhoods are equitiable, sustainable, and diverse. i'm very proud of the effort that's been put into making this project an inclusive project by making community and housing spaces for people and families of all backgrounds. and thanks to everyone who's here today, we're doing just that with 394 affordable housing units that will be constructed through this project, and
8:11 am
they're all -- and 40% of these projects are eligible for the landmark legislation that president cohen and i worked on a few years ago to ensure that the residents of district ten have right of first refusal for this housing. this program is so critical in keeping our communities intact as neighborhoods, like india basin and bayview-hunters point experience rapid growth and expansion. and with the public open space, the child care facility, the new growth restorers, the markets, and everyone in the community will have access to jobs and outdoor activity, and, of course, an important grocery store, as i mentioned. you're happy about that, right? i'm very grateful to the hard work and dedication of all of you here today, including the office of economic and workforce development, the rec and parks.
8:12 am
clearly, the staff -- go ahead. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you all for your work and your leadership, thank you all to the rec and parks department, the port of san francisco, the india basin neighborhood association and build, particularly, the principle and managing director, lou vasquez, for your hard work on this project. and as i said before, the leadership of president cohen on making this a reality and providing a real community process with a very balanced project that will bring all of what's needed to india basin where it will be an important part of district ten and the vibrancy of the bayview-hunters point community. i'd like to, at this time, thank her for her hard work and also her commitment to finishing this project before she left the
8:13 am
board of supervisors. ladies and gentlemen, at this time, i'd like to introduce president of the board of supervisors, malia cohen. [applause] >> president cohen: thank you. thank you, mayor breed. thank you, everyone, for coming out this afternoon. i feel so many things. just a mixed bag of emotions. first, being the first -- strongest emotion i feel is exhaustion, and the second emotion is gratitude. gratitude is just filling me because this has been an incredible journey, an opportunity for me to go not only as a professional, but as a person, as a woman. i was elected when i was 32 years old and relatively young in one career, and projects like this have made me a woman, and i just want to say thank you, thank you to all of those that have touched this project. so many people -- i think i
8:14 am
alone have had three legislative aides working on this particular project, so there are many people that i'd like to just recognize. you know, first and foremost, i want to talk about the bayvi bayview-hunters point community. this neighborhood is the beating heart of san francisco, hands out. when bayview-hunters point is thriving, you will find every nook and cranny of san francisco will be thriving. it is my joy to standing certify celebrating the project through this area, the india basin project. we're talking about 1500 units of housing, waterfront habitats and restoration that are only a few of the highlights that this project is going to bring to the entire neighborhood. ann, don't go too far away. don't walk away from me now,
8:15 am
ann. i have, as you heard the mayor say, devote eight years of my life to this project. i just want to take a moment to say how thankful i am to the neighbors of india basin, to the neighbors that have been so steadfast, paying attention to every detail. these are neighbors that i didn't have a relationship with until i started campaign, and they took me under their wings and took me by the arm and indoctrinated me into seeing things there way. i want to recognize jill fox who's also here, who also works for the city, who has taken time on her lunch breaks to come and to advocate and to be in the chamber. and there are many members of the india basin neighborhood association that are not here today but have put in an incredible amount of work, and i just want to give voice to the
8:16 am
neighbors that have been advocates from day one on this particular project. thank you. we are finally here to implement a strategy to maximize public benefits in the southeast part of san francisco through housing options, better transit, and open space. and i want to pause here and recognize the department of rec and park. r.p.d. has been a partner, a steadfast partner from the dinning when it comes to open pace. not only are -- beginning when it comes to open space. phil ginsberg has been a partner in developing new open spaces, spaces that were not in existence, small space acquisitions. we have been through it, phil and i, and we haven't always loved each other. we have our moments when we bicker, but today is a proud moment. i hope i can continue to work with you as we continue to get this park bond to move forward, as we continue to work on
8:17 am
building the southeast neighborhoods and build open space, through the southern and central waterfront, connecting the entire city, so there is a joule, an emerald, a jewel of green, open space that's walkable, and bikable, that's open and unobstructed, so that any and everyone can enjoy open space. thank you, philip. [applause] >> president cohen: and i really need to give a moment to recognize the mayor's office of economic and workforce development. this is an incredibly awesome responsibility that this particular department has, and for this project, i want to up lift ann. this woman has been like a goddess. she embodies not only my fashion
8:18 am
sense but my fitness goals, with arms like that. this is a strong woman, and i want to say thank you. ann, i want to recognize you have a whole team of people around you. you didn't do this by yourself, you've spent countless hours with the city attorney, as well. thank you to the see attorney's office for their time and billable hours that have brought us to where we are today. just a moment of gratitude. thank you. [applause] >> president cohen: now, there are two other folks that are standing up here to my right, and it's so appropriate that they stand to my right because they have been my right hand through this endeavor. this is jackie flynn, who's representing the a. philip randolph institute. [applause] >> president cohen: and then, this is michael hammond, who is representing himself -- just
8:19 am
kidding. michael is representing ibha, the india basin housing association. they have advocated for the project, but they have educated their neighbors, they have educated the youth around in the surrounding area, and that is how we continue to move forward so we are uplifting and not leaving anyone behind, and i don't think that could be overstated. thank you very much. this is a dynamic duo that have put in a lot of work. i want to welcome the young people from apri, they have learned a lot about the inner workings of local government. thank you very much to kurt and sophia and the entire apri team. thank you so much. we couldn't do it without you. [applause] >> president cohen: let me tell
8:20 am
you a little about jackie flynn. she's a native san franciscan, and we have a connection. that is her father, my god father, if you will, james bryant, who has been a stalwart in san francisco when it comes to labor and has been able to impress upon us the importance of labor, and with that, i want to thank all the labor leaders who are here in shaping this project. i don't want to forget anyone. thank you so much to the plumbers, the pipe filters. i want to recognize jackie, a true dynamic leader. she listens, and she responds to what she is hearing, so when there are community concerns, her advocacy reflects those concerns, and there are few leaders standing before us today that do that. jackie, thank you for mobilizing the community, thank you for giving notice and giving feedback on this project. it has been invaluable.
8:21 am
i want to recognize michael hammond, who is a long time bayview resident, an institution. i'm glad you wore his red shirt, because usually, you see him in the blue shirt. it's either red or blue with this shirt, but one thing that is true, he's leading with his heart, and he always has the community at the forefront of his mind. he's been an advocate for housing in the community, playing close and careful attention to the developments, even developments that i don't want him to be focused on, but all of the developments, nonetheless, and he is serving on the bayview c.a.c., the bayview citizens advisory committee. once the redevelopment agency was dissolved, we saw there was a gap, that we needed to have community voinvolvement and inp on each and every one of these
8:22 am
developments. thank you for serving on the c.a.c., thank you for serving on ibha. thank you. it's important that we have people that are committed, not only vested in ideology, but in practice. so madam mayor, and my colleague, supervisor safai, thank you for being here to recognize these wonderful neighborhood leaders, and again, to the project sponsor, i want to thank you for giving a gift that would not stop giving in the 11th hour in the chamber. we should even give a shout out to jane kim, just to be nice. but lou and the entire team, i just want to say thank you for the countless hours that we spent in shaping the project, listening to the neighbors, and producing a product that will benefit not only all of san francisco but specifically the bayview-hunters point community. thank you, and with that, i'd like to bring up mr. michael
8:23 am
hammond. [applause] >> thank you, mayor breed, thank you, supervisor cohen, for giving me the challenge of a lifetime. they asked me to limit my remarks to one minute. so you know, when the planning commission approved this project unanimously, and that right there is a news worthy item, several commissioners came out and characterized this project as outstanding and exemplary, and indeed, in the years to come, this project will be held up as an example of how to do a large project right. and the main reason this is so is because of the way it came about. the project you see before you today is the result of years of collaboration with the neighborhood. and -- >> president cohen: don't be nervous now. >> -- the project is inseminated
8:24 am
with the ideas of folks, and it shows. this is going to be a star in the constellation of stars that we call san francisco. thank you. >> thank you, mayor breed, and supervisor cohen. you are amazing. i remember about 15 years ago, my dad took me out to gerald and earl, and he told me to look out at the shoreline, and he told me one day, believe that one day, the shoreline is going to serve. about three years ago i was honored to serve on the task force, and i remembered every day that we came to the church about his vision and his dream, and today, you know, this is
8:25 am
history. this is an opportunity to cleanup environmental contamination in our community, improve transportation that is so heavily needed on that side of town, create housing stock and make bayview more beautiful than it already is. we had a beautiful, wonderful event last night with all the families in bayview at the jolie rec center. and i know if we build something at this site, that all the families will come together and really enjoy this space. so i also want to thank everyone who worked on the project who worked to bring a vision and plan to the shoreline. i want to thank the people and families and remember that i'm asking you to pour in your time and effort, but it's because of how much time and love we have for our community. i'm looking forward to really pulling up our sleeves, getting some work done and activating
8:26 am
the site, and we want to make sure that we're moving forward, so thank you, everybody. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and jackie, the job is not done, because when we build it, we need to make sure we're in the bayview-hunters point community, and we've got folks applying for the housing, so we can make sure we get them in the housing. that's the next step. and with that, ladies and gentlemen, let's sign this legislation. [applause]
8:28 am
>> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. buying your first home is a big deal. for many of us, it's the single largest asset that we'll own. that's why it's really important to plan ahead for property taxes so that there are no surprises. a typical question new homeowners ask is what is a supplemental tax. so understand supplemental tax, we need to start with proposition 13. under california's prop 13 law,
8:29 am
the value we use to calculate your property tax is limited to a 2% growth peryear, but when ownership changes, prop 13 requires that we set a properties assessed value to market value. the difference in value between the previous owner's value and the new value is the supplemental assessment. how does the supplemental assessment translate to the tax you need to pay? supplemental tax is calculated by applying the tax rate to the value and then prorating it for the amount of time that you owned it in that tax year. in generale, the tax rate is roughly 1%. let's walk-through an example together. here dan is the original owner of a home with a prop 13 protected value of $400,000. with a tax rate of 1%, he pays $4,000. dan sells his home to jennie at a market rate of $700,000. in this case, jennie's home will be reassessed to $700,000,
8:30 am
and jennie is responsible for paying property taxes at that level from the time she first owns it. many times, people might have already paid their property taxes in full by the time they sell their home. in that case, dan has paid $4,000 in taxes already for the full year. jennie would likely payback dan through escrow for her share of the $4,000, depending on the proportion of the tax year she owns the home. however, she's also responsible for paying taxes at the higher market value from when she begins to own the home. how does that work? let's say jennie owns the property for nine months of the first tax year, which is approximately 75% of the year. during the escrow process, she'd pay dan back 75% of the $4,000 he already paid, which is $3,000. on top of that, she would owe taxes at the higher rate for the proportion of the year she owned the house. in this case, she owes the amount not already billed
8:31 am
through dan or $700,000 minus $400,000, multiplied by a tax rate of 1%, and multiplied again by 75% to reflect the time she owned the home in that tax year. here, jennie's supplemental tax is roughly $2,250. going forward, jennie will be billed at her new reset prop 13 value. are you still with us? if this isn't complicated enough, some new owners might receive two supplemental tax bills, and this has to do with the date that you transfer property. but before we get to that, you first need to understand two concepts. first, what is a fiscal year? in california, local government runs on a fiscal year. unlike the calendar year, where the year begins on january 1, a fiscal year begins in the middle of the year, on july 1. property tax follows the fiscal
8:32 am
year cycle. second, state law requires property be valued as of january 1 every year, in other words, new year's day. the value as of january 1 is used to calculate property taxes for the upcoming fiscal year. this means property value as of january 1, 2018 will be usedtor fiscal year 18 -- used for fiscal year 18-19 covering july 2018 through june 2019. similarly, the value of january 1, 2019 will be used for the fiscal year covering july 2019 through june 2020. now back to whether you should expect to receive one or two supplemental tax bills. the rule of thumb is that if the property transfers happens in the first half of the fiscal year, in other words between july and december, then you should expect only one supplemental tax fill. if the transfer happens in the second half of the fiscal year or between january and june,
8:33 am
you should expect two supplemental tax bills. here's the reason why. using dan and jennie's example again, dan's $400,000 value as of january 1 is used to set the tax bill for the following fiscal year beginning july through june of the next year. jennie buys the property from dan in october. the taxable value is reset to $700,000 as of october, but the bill issued still reflects dan's lower value. in this case, jennie would expect to receive one supplemental or catch-up bill to capture the difference between her assessed value and began's fr began's -- dan's from october through june. because of january 1 we already know of the sale, we would have used the following year to set jennie's property taxes and no other supplemental bill should be received. however, if dan sells the property to jennie in march, instead, jennie should expect two supplemental bills. like before, jennie would
8:34 am
receive one supplemental bill to cover the time in which she owned the home in the current tax year from march to june. but because as of the next january used to set the tax base for the following tax year, dan still owned the home, the following year's entire bill still reflects the values not updated for jennie. in this instance, jennie receives a second supplemental for the following year covering july through june. after the supplemental tax bills, new owners should receive only one regular tax bill peryear going forward. remember our office values the properties, but billing and collections are handled by another organization called the treasurer and tax collector's office. if you'd like to learn more, please visit our website at sfassessor.org. thank you for watching.
8:35 am
sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very minimal energy use. it still matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. so having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. we heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. it was super easy to sign up. our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. it's an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it, and it doesn't really add anything to the bill.
