september 2021. and that's the general -- just the high level information about this grant. some other information is we believe that this is the last year that this funding will be available, so the ex-banding this money at the federal -- expanding this money at the federal level. finally, this is a contribution of nongeneral fund dollars that we don't have to -- we have now obtained. we've obtained this money, we've been awarded it. if we were to go and ask these funds from the general fund or from the city, the chances of us getting the money is a little -- we're competing for a lot of technology dollars all around the city, so this $5.3 million really represents a significant investment for the police department. and then, finally, the things

that are in scope and out of scope. finally, all of the implementation things listed above, and out of scope are any development required in other departments. as i said, we don't know what we don't know yet. the grant helps us understand what we don't know yet, as well as actually doing the development in the police department. with that, i will conclude. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: any concerns, downsides to accepting this or any limitations on the funds, other than the ones you mentioned, that in scope and out of scope? >> i'm not aware of any limitations or downsides. we are looking at all of the terms and conditions and doing a final review of the terms and conditions in the grant

agreement. >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: last year funding means going forward, you're going to have to go and ask city hall for money, and the costs will increase or remain the same incrementally. >> that's correct. >> commissioner hirsch: so this is not something that we will be -- that will be getting less expensive going forward? >> that's correct hirsch hirs. >> commissioner hirsch: that's a problem going forward. >> yes. technology seems to get more expensive as we go along. >> commissioner hirsch: is the current funding being cut because of the administration in washington or you're not sure? >> i think nibrs, there is a deadline of 2020. i really couldn't speak to what the logic at the federal level was on this particular funding stream. >> commissioner hirsch: okay.

thanks. >> commissioner mazzucco: any further questions? do i have a motion to accept $5.3 million for our reporting, which is actually required by the d.o.j.? >> so moved. >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a second? >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: is there any public comment regarding these funds? hearing none, public comment is closed. all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. please call the next item. [agenda item read]

>> commissioner mazzucco: good evening, mr. jones. >> i'd like to allude briefly, if i may, to the iacp police chief community police policing strategic plan, which was introduced last week. the plan is flawed, and it's flawed for a basic reason by city government and government in general. that is if the society that you're dealing with lacks social capital, the way to improve that social capital is not through the action of government, especially the police department what this plan describes is how

members of the san francisco police department interacts with the community. it is fraught with failure. that's not what police departments are for. i'd like to make a comment with regard to folks who live in the tenderloin. if you're dealing with someone whose life has devolved, living on government grants on skid row, it is not reasonable to expect that person to abstain from the use of illegal drugs. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you, mr. jones. is there any other public comment?

hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next item. [agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: any public comment regarding our closed session matter? hearing none, public comment on closed session is now closed. next item. [agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second? >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. we're now moving to closed session.

>> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. when i meet with seniors in the community, they're thinking about the future. some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood that's closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. that's why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. so how does this work? prop 60 was passed in 1986 to

allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2% growth a year. but when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the -- which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. that's where prop 60 comes in. prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved.

remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the property value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. if you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. this means that if your existing home is worth $1 million in market value, your new home must be $1 million or below. if you're looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105% of your exist egging home. which means if you sell your old home for $1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than $1.15 million.

if you sell your existing home at $1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than $1.1 million. know that your ability to participate in this program expires after two years. you will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. so benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. for more, visit our website, sfassessor.org, >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform

for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow.

for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help

companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle

company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my

pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us,

so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that

it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that 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

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

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

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.

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

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

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,

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
