9:00 am
and i'm in the community, i can speak the way i want to speak. you are going to go back and speak on with argie, i have known him for years, this lawsuit he got going against y'all, i can speak, i'm like trump. i know you are going to speak about that. the issue is, case in point, y'all know i've been coming here religiously actionings before y'all turned over to ocii to come to the fillmore, it ain't like i'm slapping you in your face. but no, this is ace in your face. even though y'all got a case, i've been on the case. and i'm willing to testify however, whoever wanted. my opinion on augie, he's not going to split up my community and not get away going after the queen, not in front of me, the queen is london breed, ok?
9:01 am
what do you think he's doing by filing a lawsuit against y'all, but then hold up. isn't the city and county filing a lawsuit against, how do you pull up that balance there? my name is ace, damn it, i'm on the case. i got a story to tell. now, let's do it this way. i got three options for y'all. recommendations. sit down and have a meeting with your executive staff and your lawyers with case ace on the case, fillmore ambassador, allow me to come before you and make a presentation about the fillmore, include everything. y'all bring your bones out to the fillmore, i've been asking you for years, let's have a community town hall meeting. i'm appalled. now, in speaking politically speaking, london should not be involved with this, although her name is involved with this. if i had to somebody people,
9:02 am
when i go up there and talk to newsom about what's going on here, he's going to say ace, what the hell's going on. so in closing, my name is ace, i'm on the case. you let aggie know, community reform, community, court of community needs to do this in order to be down in there, with he can settle this if he wants to be about the community. i don't want our community split up no more than it has to be, because i'm going to create community reform from this issue. >> no more speaker cards. >> hearing no further request to speak, i'll now close public comments. are there any questions from commissioners? yes. commissioner singh. >> commissioner singh: all these bonds, what is the interest in all this?
9:03 am
>> that might be a question our director of finance -- >> any name is brie mahorder. i believe your question is what is the interest rate we are paying for each of the bonds in the debt service portfolio. each bond actually has a different interest rate that is established at the time of issuance. so, and the interest rate for the new bonds that we may issue next year would be established at the time of issuance next year, and it will depend on market conditions at the time of issuance. >> are these tax exempts? >> combination of tax exempts and taxable. we use tax exempt bonds to finance infrastructure reimbursements and tax bonds to finance housing in general. >> how many total money we owe, billions of dollars, what -- >> outstanding portfolio, slightly more than $900 million. >> ok. thank you so much.
9:04 am
>> you are welcome. >> a little under a billion. any other comments, questions? >> i have a question. >> commissioner rosales: on page 20 of the presentation, i just, i think i forgot, so i'm going to ask the question. there's the reference to the tjpa pledge, 8.6 million. can you remind me? why are we pledging 8.6 million? and for what purpose would that pledge be? >> that's the trans pay joint powers authority pledge. and so that's codified by our tax increment and sales proceeds agreement. this is the amount we remit every year.
9:05 am
>> oh, ok. >> transfer to the tjpa. so, all parcels, state owned parcels that generate increment, is pledged to the trans pay general powers authority for the transit -- >> so is this amount fixed every year, or is it a different amount, depending on -- >> it's not fixed, it's based on the property tax assessment rolls, so increases over time. >> ok. 8.6. ok. so then on slide 23, there's a reference to the hunters point community benefits, community hpocp community benefits, and maybe this is more of a question for our executive director.
9:06 am
these community benefits i know are just our obligation for community, not -- maybe i'm misstating this. the community benefits that are in the ocii jurisdiction. >> this is the one that the developer is obligated that we oversee. >> yes. >> it's not the only one. >> so we didn't -- do we know or can we -- i know we have received reports over time on this, but when i see community benefits, 3.1, it would be good to know what is the supplemental or the additional haments of commun benefits. >> what's remaining or what the -- >> no, i'm sorry, the legacy commitment. is there a way for us to know that? >> oh, we have that, and i think it was presented at a prior meeting. i don't have it off the top of my head, i'll have lila see if we can recall what that number is. >> so, while we are waiting for
9:07 am
lila to come up, the money comes to us, or goes directly to the legacy foundation, or lila will answer that. >> project manager, hunters point shipyard. 3.1 includes amounts that the legacy is a part of. so the legacy is an advisory body to ocii on community benefits and as they have come here to this strategic plan, they presented what they intend to spend in the first five years. i don't have that dollar amount but we could get that to you specifically, but this is inclusive of that. i don't know if you were speaking about the i.c., the other community benefit agreement funds that also have a report out at the quarterly community benefits report that you received last month. there's a report on what they are spending in the i.c., what
9:08 am
we don't control. >> i was more interested in the holistic picture of the amount of money going in this period of time for community benefits to the hunters point shipyard. >> i think we'll be happy to bring that to you specifically for this, because it was the rops idea, so very high level. so as part of our budget, and we can do deep dive on what that would go to. >> and what is i.c. again? >> i.c. we -- >> implementation -- >> i don't know off the top -- maybe ray would know. >> implementation committee, i.c. committee was set up before the project received approval. i.c. of the legacy foundation. it's separate. >> so the legacy foundation is very much related to ocii, the
9:09 am
community benefits, some clear like there's fixed amounts that have to go for specific purposes, and also a certain amount in the phase one community benefits that have flexibility how you would ex pend it, we put time putting together strategic plan how to spend that money and then there's others, very discreet money set aside for a very specific person, like scholarships, travel, very specific, nonne -- and contractor mobilization, community die lotion, other sort of elements that the legacy foundation came up with that they wanted to see used for some of the more flexible funds. >> and my question about the money from the developers, does it come to us, or -- because i
9:10 am
seem to recall that the fiscal sponsor from the legacy foundation is the san francisco foundation. so, san francisco foundation is helping the i.c., they did not have a role in our community benefits. so right now we have the funds. >> we have the funds. >> we have the funds and then legacy advising us, and since we have contracting obligation, tashika will be coming forward really soon with r.f.p. ideas for the scholarship fund, we have to do competitive process. some cases we came to you with like the hacker hub, so many people in the field, we are not experts on who is the best, and might want to engage with several administrators of scholarship funds. we will release the r.f.p.
9:11 am
>> other questions? >> on slide 27, long range property management plan referencing -- can you focus us on what are the properties? identified here for western addition. >> i think we have another -- >> she's here, know we are going to ask. >> commissioners, i'm hilde mild. properties in different areas, fillmore heritage center, and we have some other i think only one remnant properties, we have the ellis street driveway, directly adjacent to the fillmore heritage, it's the driveway into that retail shopping center. i believe that is all that we in
9:12 am
the course of some of our development projects have remnant parcels in some cases rights-of-way, sidewalks, things like that, so not major, they are not, they don't have development potential, but they are things that we just want to tie up as loose ends and make sure that they are under the correct jurisdiction for governmental purpose or the city, so they are maintained and going forward closed out correctly. does that answer the request he? >> thank you. don't go away. >> since she's here -- >> i have a question. since you addressed western addition, what about the yerba buena center, except the mexican museum. >> we transferred the gardens last june, and in the -- >> transferred to the city. >> yes. >> and they are working with the conservancy now. in terms of yerba buena center,
9:13 am
finishing up the project, the purchase and sale agreement with 706 mission developer and the mexican museum. >> it's the mexican museum. >> so the completion of the overall project, a mixed use project with residential and commercial and then a condo parcel that would be the home, future home of the museum, but that's slotted for conveyance to the city and they would become the landlord of the cultural operator, the tenant, the museum in that condo space. >> and the golden gateway, what else are we doing? >> i believe there is an easement, there are some sort of, as i mentioned sort of remnant parcels, so golden gate, i believe there is an easement remaining on an older project and also in the yerba buena center, remnants, parcels
9:14 am
adjacent to parcels, and -- >> south of market, since we are covering. >> south beach, the south beach harbor lease terminations, and south of market i can't recall any specific properties. there may be some like sidewalk public rights-of-way types of things. >> and eventually all of these will be turned over to the city. >> correct, correct. yes. there are some private dispositions as well. for example, some of the sidewalk parcels are slated for adjacent developments. >> ok. anything else? >> and interrupt -- >> anything else? >> that was just sort of off the top of my head. but i can always give a more complete summary. >> that will be great if you do have a summary, just a little
9:15 am
detail. >> just -- just enough. >> one last question is on the work orders with city departments. why is the city attorney's office getting so few dollars, if i'm reading this right, $50,000 for the city attorney's office? >> yes. the, in the work orders that only includes agency costs but there are costs that we have with, that are embedded in the project costs, further expenses with the city attorney. >> if they were a trans pay project we may need the city attorney on. >> right. it would be embedded in the transbay costs. >> i see. >> well -- first commissioner, we would seek to cover those local services in house, and if we needed supplemental, we would go to the city attorney's office. if we needed something beyond that, we would hire somebody.
9:16 am
>> yep. >> so in that order, we try to keep it all in house as much as possible. >> i agree with that. thank you. >> thank you. any other questions? so, this is a discussion item. there is no vote required. and so if there are no other questions and comments from my fellow commissioners, madam secretary, call the next item. >> thank you, mina, thank you. >> the next order of business is item 6, public comment on nonagenda items. and we have one speaker card. oh, two speaker cards. one is ace washington, ok. oscar james. >> thank you commissioners.
9:17 am
i want to thank my big brother for coming back in his chair, good to see you, commissioner singh. i thought they were going to talk about building 101 at hunters point shipyard, remodelling of the building 101. i was at the -- excuse me, i was at the cac meeting last night and lashon walker was there, she gave a nice presentation on a lot of the things you guys got through asking about. one of my concerns is building 101 with the remodelling and what have you, there was a gentleman, and i think i brought this up before to the commission here, mr. karl campbell, who was the compliance officer in hunter's point shipyard, and doing the whole while the hunter's point shipyard was going up until the close, and i also brought some things for you
9:18 am
guys to look at that gives a history of hunters point, the whole hunters point community from 1956 to 1980, and 1 of the last parts, i want that building, building 101 named after mr. karl kimbro, and the reason i say that, being a teenager coming up, well, a teenager from hunters point and representing the people from west addition, every summer mr. kimball would make sure people from hunters point and western addition, fillmore, got jobs down at hunters point shipyard. the young teenagers, 18, 16, what have you, we had a saying back then because we were club members of different clubs and things, if we didn't work, we were going to go to school with new clothes, ok. so, either we are going to go down and shoplift or you are going to give us summer jobs and
9:19 am
make an honest living. so, the majority of us got jobs in hunters point shipyard, under mr. karl kimbro, so he kept a lot of violence and what r have you, and mayor shelly at the time, and christopher. they used to make sure the city did a program with the shipyard to make sure people got jobs. so i would like that building named after him. and also dry dock four, the firstship burnt at dry dock four was burnt by a resident of hunters point, we would like to have dry dock four and i mentioned this last night to lenar, and asking this commission to make sure the dry dock four is named after him. but anyway, i'm giving each one
9:20 am
of you guys this, as your leisure, look through it and find the history of bay view-hunters point, and shows the clubs, the riot in 1966 when i was an active participant, and it just gives you the history of hunters point and how the people there made sure things happen such as this commission here, having minorities representing the city and county of san francisco. when i first started with the redevelopment agency, it was all italians and jewish on the commission. we turned over desks and what have you in 1982 to make sure we have you guys representing us, the people in the communities. so, even our council here, we had a person, mr. boreguard, who was the council, even got him removed and got, you know, the
9:21 am
council we have today. >> thank you. >> thank you guys. keep up the good work. and like i say, good to see my brother up there. >> ok. thank you. any more speaker cards? >> ace washington. >> i'm long-winded. >> ok. >> wow, i mean, honor to come behind oscar, we were back there talking about historical value, and it's just me and you here. we went through the history, there used to be, you know, full of african -- blacks, from the community at the redevelopment meetings, there were issues, we had a choice, people to listen to us. not saying that y'all don't, but here we are, and what's going on is because our population. we got so many things mixed up that caused our population, dwindling down to as we put it, two of us here. very historical.
9:22 am
this is 2019. what does this mean? don't have to wipe it clean. we are going to bring on a new thing i'm going to bring on community reform, reformed everything. let me just say, case in point, y'all are getting ready, excuse me, when i came up here, obscene moment, thought it was public comment. but this -- you guys are getting ready to liberate and talk about an issue which means a lot to my community. so i calmed down a little bit, ok. please consider the fact that whatever they are doing, there are two sides to the story. i'm trying to put together so we can have community, a court of community concerns opinion. all of this -- case in point,
9:23 am
lobbying for oversight, after london did the right thing, but here we have a situation, y'all are getting ready to go back and talk about the r. f.p. excuse my french, i would say screw the r.f.p. i know what it was all about. right now, we are in the sunshine of this so-called six-month trial that somebody gave these people out here, they have the audacity, and nothing personal, they don't have the capacity, y'all know that. a six-month trial on something where they had everybody supporting them, every government, every department head. if they had all the money and everybody going, a six-month trial is bound to fail. and here in the air, going to bring in dr. bates to cut the place to bring in, a cancer -- my name is ace, damn it, that's the truth. nothing but the truth and now brown is in litigation. so, my name is ace, i'm going to

9:25 am
deliberation but as a result of the action taken by the commission at our last meeting last year, wow, already last year, we received a letter from the developer just clarifying the obligation of the contractural obligation of the agency and giving us 30 days, that the notifying us, and event of default under the successor agency does not release the lead developer from developer's obligation to enter into a lease with an acceptable grocery tenant within 30 days of the date hereof. so we are proposing at the next commission meeting we'll have an agenda on this item, but in the meantime, share that with you, but we have not done any deliberations or follow-ups at this point. >> thank you. and maybe we can discuss what the repercussions of this

>> you're watching quick bite, the show that has san francisco. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> we're here at one of the many food centric districts of san francisco, the 18th street 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
9:41 am
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. 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
9:42 am
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 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
9:43 am
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 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
9:44 am
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 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.
9:45 am
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 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.
9:46 am
>> 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 or cook better with fresh ingredients . or grab a quick bite with organic goodies. find out more about 18 reasons by going to 18 reasons.org and learn about buy right market and creamery by going to buy right market.com. and don't forget to check out our blog for more info on many of our episodes at sf quick

9:53 am
earthquake authority but we'll talk about >> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. in our seven mile by seven mile city, we have over 210,000 properties and close to 90% of their are residential like the homes you and i live in, so you might ask, how can we possibly value all these properties? well, to better understand our work, we need to explain the state's proposition 13 law. in 1978, california voters passed proposition 13. under prop 13, we value your property at market value when
9:54 am
you first buy it. every year after, that value goes up by the c.p.i. or the california consumer price index. but if the c.p.i. is more than 2%, prop 13 caps the increase at 2%. we'll walk-through the maximum increases prop 13 would allow. let's take a home with initial value of $400,000. in the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2%, growing from $400,000 to $408,000. in year three, that $408,000 is increased by 2% to roughly $416,000. every year, the value grows by the maximum rate of 2%, and that is called your prop 13 value. keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. what do we mean by that? let's say over the last ten years, home prices in san

francisco have gone every roughly 10% every year. despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2% growth creating a difference between your market value and prop 13 value. know that the value recessed when there's a change in ownership. a change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. maybe through a -- new owner. maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. at that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. that value becomes a new starting point for the property. just like before, the growth continues to be limited at 2% until the next transfer happens. remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at the new level from the first day that they own it. value might also be added when construction happens on your property. that would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2%. here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value.

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.
