as many noted, students are often working full time, working to balance school and work on top of that with the cost of living in san francisco, having this be one other way in which we can help provide for our residents to make it more affordable and make the city a little bit more accessible for everybody involved, particularly working families and those that need this additional help, to allow to make themselves more economically sufficient. i think it is significantly importance. again, we will make the amendments tomorrow. from listening to the city attorney on this, i think we will do the oversight through ordinance. i was the author about last time there's a significant number of individuals that are membership of that period we will handle that through ordinance. i can work with supervisor mandelman who will be carrying this on as the new board comes in in the new year so we can

continue those conversations to make sure there is appropriate oversight and we can move after the ordinance process. the other amendment, i would just say that the idea of this being a very new program in terms of the funding, the funding is still -- i think we asked the controller in the budget office to give us the best estimates we had based on the reimbursements, based on state funding, based on a stipend or a per-pupil cost analysis. 50 million was the best analysis that we could do given the time. i think that is probably one of the reasons why you would do this for ten years initially. i think if it were something that were different where you were base lining funding that was a consistent part of an existing budget where we have had years to see how it grows, how it is indexed and so on, then maybe you would have a longer time. that is probably one of the reasons why it was proposed to be a shorter period initially. that is why we talked about some oversight.

for the record, the controller has the ability after year four, and what we have talked about with supervisor kim was to allow the board and the mayor to make any adjustments as necessary after year five. so i think that is the meat of it. it is why you would have ten but i'm happy to continue the conversation as requested by the coalition. i'm sure you'll be conveying your concerns to supervisor mandelman and kim and others. that is it. supervisor mandelman? >> i will move that we forward this to the board without recommendation. >> okay. we will send this to the board of that recommendation as a committee report. we will do it tomorrow. yeah. we talked about that. thank you. for the record, we are joined by supervisor peskin joining us here today. okay. if we can do that without

objection, we will send it to the full board without recommendation and the amendments that were discussed will be prepared for tomorrow. and we will move from there peerk we can do that without objection as a committee report. >> yes. >> thank you. please call item number 1, supervisor peskin. the floor is yours. >> item number 1 is the ordinance amending the administrative code to extend to subset with a revenue bond oversight committee and suspend provisions of board rule 2.212 extend committee for an additional six years to january 1st, 2025. >> thank you. i have one amendments that i am proposing in conjunction with the s.f. p.u.c. it is a nonsubstantive just to state the obvious relative to

the passage last year of proposition a, what should be a new subsection h., and we would then remember -- realtor the other subsections, which reads, in addition to s.f. p.u.c., expects to incur bonded indebtedness to finance capital improvements for the repair, replacement, and expansion of the power enterprise, and will from time to time issue its revenue bonds to finance the cost of such improvements. it is consistent with what they do, but i thought it appropriate to make that additional mention. i want to thank the deputy city attorney blake for his quick action this morning and mr his carpool and the other representatives who are available to testify. we have not taken public comment period may be we can hear from the p.u.c. >> we have ten minutes.

hopefully you will keep this very brief because we need to get out of here for the land use committee. >> thank you, supervisor his. thank you for your amendments. i am a cochair of the revenue oversight committee. we hold a monstrous monthly meetings that are open to the public on matters at the s.f. p.u.c.'s water, sewer and power programs to ensure a culture of transparency and trust as valuable tools for the rate payers. we support this ordinance today in addition to the p.u.c. chop chop support the sunset date of the revenue bond oversight committee 22025 pack which is the intended lifespan of the system improvement program, as well as some of the new power initiatives. i stand for questions if there are any from the board of supervisors. otherwise, i'm happy to introduce richard from the s.f. p.u.c. >> thank you. i am the data manager of the san francisco public utilities commission. quickly i wanted to say that the

s.f. p.u.c. supports the continued monitoring by the committee, on the transparency it creates for rate payers. we support the ordinance as amended. any questions? >> i have one question for the sponsor. i know when we put this forward, we talked about potentially, because it is about energy savings and being more energy efficient and so on, in our overall alternative energy programs. i wonder if, is a flexibility in this language that would allow us to do any underground power lines? >> the revenue bond oversight committee is a committee that just makes recommendations and they oversee. this is something we have done for general obligation bonds and for revenue bonds and in this case, we are just extending the life of the committee to the extent that the p.u.c., vice

commission, on this board of supervisors with a majority vote chose to float revenue bonds for the purpose of underground dating and that would definitely be within the purview of common oversight by the revenue oversight committee. >> i wanted to get that on the record. i knew it had to go through that process. i had to say for the listening public, i get a significant amount of questions regarding that and then we have the underground coalition, or whatever they are called. i don't mean whatever they're called, where they are called something similar to the underground coalition. one of the things that i know supervisor peskin and i said to them was there is energy efficiency in putting electrical lines underground. not to mention the fact that there is safety given all of the things that we have learned in the past year with all of the unfortunate fires that we have had in the states that potentially had something to do

with powerlines going down. and so for our purposes, i think it would be good to get that on the record. which i didn't. i appreciate you commenting and clarifying that. i don't have any questions. we don't have to hear anything else. this is a straightforward thing. if we could get an amendment to accept this amendment, excuse me , a motion to accept this amendment. >> so moved. >> without objection. if we couldn't just make a motion to send the amended version as amended. would you like it as a committee report? >> yes, please. >> we can sense the version of item number 1 as a committee report with positive recommendation to the full board >> i want to confirm, did we take public comment on this hm? >> i think we did. >> may be we didn't. >> any members of the comp -- public wish to comment on this item? can we do my motion now? sent the amended version of this

item with positive recommendation to the full board as a committee report. without objection. look at that. any other items before s. class. >> that completes the agenda today. >> six minutes to spare. we are adjourned. >> we are very excited to introduce our next speaker. someone who can speak about the importance of affordable housing

and what it means for low income families in the mission district pick someone that understands this and actually talks about this on a regular basis throughout san francisco. i'm very honored to introduce our mayor, london breed to the podium. [applause] >> thank you. it is so exciting to be here. to break ground on 100% affordable housing. [cheers and applause] >> finally, after almost ten years, we are finally building -- building affordable housing in the mission for those whose income ranges anywhere between 30 and nifty% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because -- 30 and 50% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because even though we have had challenges making sure people who live in the communities can have access to the affordable housing built in their community , we will not have that problem with this project.

because of the neighborhood preference legislation that i and others on the board of supervisors put through a few years back, i got so much support for that legislation from this community. to dedicate 40% of the 80 units to the people who live in this district first. [applause] there are so many people that have made this possible and i just want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work, including the mayor possess office of housing, bridge has an, of course, commission housing development corridor, thank you for your advocacy and your work around not just helping to build new affordable housing, but the small sites acquisition program, and all the work that you continue to do. all of the architects and the contractors, thank you all so much for being patient, working

hard, putting together a project that we know is going to be absolutely incredible in this community. i also want to acknowledge, in addition to neighborhood preference, some of you may know that there are people who live in public housing. there are challenges with locations and we also have an opportunity to welcome in residence of public housing to this new development as well. it's part of the plan. a way to try and make sure that people have access to affordable housing. that people are able to stay in their communities. i just want to thank each and every one of you for the hard work and i see someone who snuck in here and is trying to hide. roberto hernandez. thank you for your advocacy and the work that you have done to help us with neighborhood preference. holding folks in city hall

accountable to make sure that the housing that gets promised to this community gets built in this community and that we do a better job as a safety of providing opportunities with our application process. because the real work begins. we better get -- we build the housing but we have to make sure that we outreach all over this community to folks unfortunately , in some instances struggling and in the process of being displaced. that we make sure that we help them get those applications in. that is what i am committed to. the planning department to, thank you so much for being here thank you to each and every one of you for your work. i am excited to be here during this groundbreaking and i'm looking forward to making sure that we don't let another ten years go by before we break ground on another affordable housing development. [applause]

folks, let's celebrate today and tomorrow, let's continue to roll up our sleeves and get to work. we have got to do more, not just in the mission, but all over the city and county of san francisco thank you all so much for being here today. >> thank you so much, mayor breach. and the project manager at bridge housing. for the last two years, it has been my pleasure to shepherd this project to this moment right now, which is so exciting. we are going to replace this vacant gas station with a beautiful building. it is really thrilling for me to say that. i would like to welcome supervisor hilary ronan which includes district nine. she has been a champion for many of the projects. we are glad you can be with us. thank you so much. [applause] >> thank you everybody. what an exciting day. this site right here represents such a huge victory for the

mission community. i. i love the fact that our friends are holding a sign that says house keys, not handouts. thank you! [cheers and applause] that is exactly what we want in our community. eighty-one units of truly affordable housing. sometimes when we talk about affordable housing, we are talking about housing that people are making over $100,000 are eligible for. not at this site. we are talking about a family of four earning $35,000 a year who will be living right behind us. finally housing for the families that we have all been fighting for in this neighborhood. it is truly remarkable. what's even more remarkable about this, and i've seen so many faces of so many people i love in this crowd, this was slated to be luxury housing.

it was going to be housing for people -- for people who grew up in the neighborhood would never be able to afford. and this community fought hard, fought a long, fought to get $50 million from the last affordable housing bond to come to the mission district. this was one of the sites that came out of it. please give yourselves a round of applause, mission community, because you made this site happen. i also want to congratulate mission housing development corporation his. is such an important organization in our community. this is the first time in ten years that you are breaking ground on a new affordable housing site in the mission which is just incredible. you are back in action and you will be the powerhouse organization that in the past is

built so much housing in our neighborhood and are doing so again. shortly after this, you will break ground on 1950 mission, which will be another truly affordable housing site. mission housing development corporation and housing in the mission. we couldn't be more excited. we love you, and as the mayor said, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work and get this housing built. congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you supervisor ronen. we are pleased to be working hand-in-hand with your office on the critical issues that our community continues to face. just like supervisor ronen just said, there was a point in time where many did not believe that mission housing was going to make a comeback. so we were resilience. just like this communities. our team came back stronger than ever, with one goal in mind. to uphold our mission statement,

to build affordable housing in our district. in san francisco. our board supported us every step of the way. this isn't just a celebration for mission housing today. but it is a win for this neighborhood. at this specific site, was one because of community advocacy. today we come together as a community to celebrate. our next speaker is someone i work with on a daily basis and i've gotten to know him extremely well. i have to say that his spanish has gotten a little better. he loves latin food. particularly tacos. if you ever want to offer him something to drink, offer him some tamarind water. he is currently laughing. you can find him specifically at the panel discussions, at schools during presentations on

affordable housing, asking either myself or a team member in the organization to help a local nonprofit in the mission. or walking around wearing a t-shirt with various messages. many of them about housing. his work has not gone unnoticed. certainly not by our team or our board or affordable housing community. he has been my counterpart in mission housing. together, we have overcame many obstacles to get to this place of celebration and groundbreaking. i am very pleased and honored to introduce our executive director of mission housing, my counterpart. [applause] >> i feel like everyone said my whole speech, i guess i can go home, right?

thank you, everyone. thank you so much from the bottom of my heart and for mission housing. >> it has been a nostalgic kind of a day, thinking back on seven years ago and where mission housing was and where i was. i can't -- there were countless meetings of me -- of people telling me i was crazy for thinking that i could help take over mission housing. that will never happen. it is impossible. you are never coming back. over and over again, if it wasn't for marcy at and the staff and our board and the leadership and support, it probably would have been rights. the fact is, mission housing was created to actually develop community. mission housing was created to be a backbone for infrastructure or whatever you want to call it. that is what we are again.

i am really proud to stand here next to this broken dirt and guarantee that 80 some odd units of affordable housing are coming but what i'm most proud to do is to be with our community and to break ground with the people who stood by us. the people who didn't believe that this wasn't going to weigh. who wanted us to regrow. i would like to personally dedicate this building and the rest of our building to the mission community. why don't we give the mission community a hand we -- why do we give them a hand? [applause] >> i would be remiss if i got up here and i didn't point out to the fact that this project and all the thousand units of affordable housing in the mission were originally and only made possible by a man who had the foresight to lead and to

listen to the mission community. when mayor ed lee decided to focus on affordable housing and fix our public housing and to build more units, it was something -- that without it, i don't know mission housing could have come back like we have. while he is not here physically with us, i am fairly certain he is looking down on us and smiling. thank you. [applause] >> i really do want to thank the mayor and all of our partners and supervisor ronen. there so many people. i'm sorry, i honestly have not been this tongue-tied ever. anyone who knows me knows what an emotional day this is been. i will just leave by saying thank you. thank you for believing in mission housing. i assure you that we believe in

ourselves and that we will not go another ten years. we won't go another ten months for another groundbreaking. if unlimited money was made available, we wouldn't say no to that. okay. let's get on with the show. thanks, everybody. [cheers and applause] >> thank you so much. it is a pleasure to work with you and john and michael and your whole team in partnership on these projects. i would like to introduce the c.e.o. and president, cynthia walker. when she joined us, she brought a long-term commitment to affordable housing with her cat demonstrated by 30 plus years of experience from alaska, seattle and now here in san francisco. she has been projects like this to life for a long time. i appreciate cynthia's leadership. through all the twists and turns that we go through, trying to blow things out of the ground, and there are many, many twists and turns.

i feel personally supported by cynthia. please welcome cynthia parker. [applause] >> thank you. thank you everyone who is here today. it does indeed take a village to get this type of development off the ground. we can't do it without the support of our partners and also , bakers, the mayor, assembly members, supervisors, everyone who is here has had a hand in making this happen. but it is particularly an auspicious project because of our partnership with mission hell being with sam and his group. and also, the neighborhood preference, which is incredibly important here. in this code today, for someone to rent a market rate unit, they have to earn a wage of $54.76 an

hour in order to pay the rent on an unrestricted property. so with this particular 100% developed project back we are able to rent it to families who are making $35,000 a year. a family of four. we are not reaching everyone because there are many people who live in this neighborhood to make less of -- less than that. recent survey of latino residents in the neighborhood indicated 30% of them made about $11.56 an hour. they are still living here and as rents go up, they are being forced out. i want to thank the mayor personally for her efforts and for everyone who has advocated for the neighborhood preference. and for also making resources available and the support that

is necessary to get this type of 100% development project off the ground. it takes a village and it takes all of us to make a commitment. i see you have some tears in your eyes. i think i met sam when i got here a little over seven years ago. he was in another job and another life and then he left and called me up. he said, i've gone to work at mission housing. and i said well, cool. he said we have not done a project for the longest time. do you want to topically come on over. he did. he said this is what my vision is for mission. i want to get it back on the grounds and i want to be developing more housing. i want to be focused on the housing in the mission and i want to catalyze all of the things that have gone on in that community. i said, how can we help we what happens as a result of that is that we formed a deep

partnership. we are engaged with other organizations because it takes a village to create this type of work here. but i really celebrate the fact that this is our first project. we will have another one breaking ground very shortly, and it will also accommodate families and seniors and we will have children living here. it will be back to the neighborhood. that's what is so important. i want to also comment on an article that i saw in the paper today, in the chronicle, which i thought was sort of interesting. it was a contrasting of new york and san francisco. i can't --dash i don't know if it is accurate or not. i certainly hope it wasn't but i did fire up an e-mail to the chief of staff. i said new york has made this commitment to housing and to affordable housing and to public

housing that san francisco has not done. and that is why new york is much more economically diverse. my e-mail back to his chief of staff was someone i happen to know, was i hope this isn't an accurate statement. the next city, with this mayor, this is not the case. i want to thank you mayor breed. i want to thank everyone who works in this city. i know projects like these is a commitment that the city has that will make this city support the residents of the city and always and providing more housing. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, cynthia. i want to take a moment. we said it takes a village. i want to name a couple of the folks who have been critical in bringing this to life. tom, chris, dan and miguel and anita, you guys have literally broken the ground behind me. thank you so much.

those are our contractors. [applause] >> travis, mary, irving, the enhanced beauty of the urban landscape can deliver the credit to your fabulous design. thank you so much. [applause] >> you are rock stars. kevin, joan, jenny, mara, aaron, and kate from the mayor's office of housing. you are partners every step of the way and we are so grateful for everything. we talk on the phone almost every single day. heather, eileen, joshua, amy, and william. you make all of our long loan documents really fun to read. thank you. justin, doug, mike, larry, and jamie and rebecca, thank you for all you do. [applause]

and of course, there are so many more people than just that that have been sitting around all day those are just some people i wanted to call out. the fun part of this project is a san francisco housing authority, our permanent lender -- and our construction and equity lender, bank of america, it's been a pleasure closing this deal. i am really excited to welcome the managing director for the bank of san francisco in east bait bay market. please join us. [applause] >> thank you so much. we're so honored and grateful to be with you all today. i love this scene at the groundbreaking. thank you for that item. americas grateful and honored. sixty-six -- 56 and a half million dollars in financing for

[applause] >> thank you for being here tonight. our closing speaker needs no introduction. he is known to many people across the city as a community leader, home grown native a passionate advocate. he has been working in this

neighborhood for years ensuring that the voices of our people is not only being heard but also respected. there is an organization partner of ours not only here at 419 but also across the street. not too far away from here. they are an integral part of the community and we greatly value the work we do on a daily basis. without further ado, i would like to welcome someone to the podium for closing remarks. [cheers and applause] >> good evening, everybody. i am an organizer. i'm so humbled to be here among so many community warriors. a lot of people who have spent a lot of long hours and organizing hours on this street talking to neighbors and making sure we get what we need and what we deserve in this case, affordable housing

we started our groundbreaking with a blessing. we started with movement. we were led in four directions. so appropriate and so fitting that we started with movement. because its movements that organizes this piece of land. it is movement that advocated. it is movement that unfolds banners like that one. it is movement that demanded that sights like this return to our neighborhood and returned to the hard-working families and individuals in san francisco. we started with a blessing that called on our ancestors to guide us, to protect us, and people are resilient. resilient because this isn't the end of our journey. this is in the end of the movement. we are on a long distance marathon. it is far from over.

it is a marathon that includes not only building and reclaiming land to build affordable housing , but also protecting renters and they're existing homes. it is making sure that we get the most amount of benefits with any luxury corporate developer that comes into our hood. because of families in our community deserve more. just walk around these streets. there are hundreds and thousands of our loved ones on the streets we see them intense. we see them living in cars. or you don't see them. because they are doubled and tripled in apartment buildings like this. this is why we do it. we do it for all the hundreds of homeless kids that come to school after a restless nights sleeping in the shelter. they deserve more. they deserve more. and we deserve more.

when you join our movement, will you join our movement. we are just getting started. are you all ready to party and celebrate we -- are you ready to party and celebrate, i thank everyone for being here. i will turn it back over to marcy. please stay. we have delicious food from some local vendors and local mom and pop businesses to support the hoods and support the neighborhoods. thank you all for being here. [cheers and applause] >> okay. thank you so much. we would like to invite all the speakers to come up and grab a shovel, and we will take a picture, a break in the ground, after that, anybody else is welcome to take a picture with a shovel once we are done. thank you all so much for being here. it is really a great moment for us in the city and the neighborhoods. thank you.

>> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i

just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical, not knowing what the season holds holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing if i would get it, but i would kick myself if i didn't apply. i was so nervous, i never lived anywhere outside of fridays

know, andfridays -- fresno, and i got an interview. and then, i got a second interview, and i got more nervous because know the thought of leaving fresno and my family and friends was scary, but this opportunity was on the other side. but i had to try, and lo and behold, i got the job, and my first day was january 14, 2014. every game day was a puzzle, and i have to figure out how to put the pieces together. i have two features that are 30 seconds long or a minute and a 30 feature. it's fun to put that altogetl r together and then lay that out in a way that is entertaining for the fans. a lucky seat there and there, and then, some lucky games that include players. and then i'll talk to lucille, can you take the shirt gun to

the bleachers. i just organize it from top to bottom, and it's just fun for me. something, we don't know how it's going to go, and it can be a huge hit, but you've got to try it. or if it fails, you just won't do it again. or you tweak it. when that all pans out, you go oh, we did that. we did that as a team. i have a great team. we all gel well together. it keeps the show going. the fans are here to see the teams, but also to be entertained, and that's our job. i have wonderful female role models that i look up to here at the giants, and they've been great mentors for me, so i aspire to be like them one day. renelle is the best. she's all about women in the

workforce, she's always in our corner. [applause] >> i enjoy how progressive the giants are. we have had the longer running until they secure day. we've been doing lgbt night longer than most teams. i enjoy that i work for an organization who supports that and is all inclusive. that means a lot to me, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i wasn't sure i was going to get this job, but i went for it, and i got it, and my first season, we won a world series even if we hadn't have won or gone all the way, i still would have learned. i've grown more in the past four years professionally than i think i've grown in my entire adult life, so it's been eye

opening and a wonderful learning
