-- had essentially crumbled in certain locations and allowed the title action, as well as a sewer outfall flows to take water and soil from the ground below third street in the area and out into the bay. over time, it created an emergency situation where there was a large avoid below the third street right of way, and immediate repair. our teams visited the site shortly after the inspection by the p.u.c., and determine what the best course of action was. we presented this to our director, mohammed nuru, and requested an emergency declaration be issued so that we can proceed with the work immediately. that was done, and we have selected a contractor in november and mobilize them as quickly as possible so that we could complete the work before

the rains hit this winter. so the work was estimated at the time to be about $700,000. at this time, we are working out final closeout details with the contractor, of the cost is around $660,000 or so. i think the work was completed successfully. as you know, we are doing critical work on the third street bridge, which we need to complete prior to the end of this year, and so we wanted to make sure that this was also coordinated with that effort, and we were able to do that as well. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions or comments for mr thomas? this was actually discovered through an inspection. is that correct? >> that is really different then the last two emergency decorations we have had here before this committee. let's pivot to the b.l.a. the report, please. >> yes, the board is asking to approve the emergency declaration, which would authorize the department of

public works to solicit an agreement with a contractor to do the work without going through a competitive bid process. i believe the department has presented the process. i do want to say that an emergency was declared on november 2nd, reported to the board to, the, on the controller on november 3rd. the resolution was submitted on december 7th. it is within the guidelines, or the timeline set by the administrative code, and as chair fewer mentioned, was discovered through an inspection, which does make it different from the prior two resolutions that were brought forward, and we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. let's open us up for public comment. any members of the public like to comment on item number 9? seeing none, public comment is closed. i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. can we take that without objection? thank you very much. please read item number 10. >> item ten is resolution

authorizing the director of public works to execute agreements with the california department of transportation pertaining to the justice street improvement phase to project for the amount of $60 million. >> i see we have elizabeth raymo his, transportation finance analysts in san francisco public works. >> thank you. i am went san francisco public works. before you today is a proposed resolution that will authorize the director of public works to execute an agreement with the california department of transportation for the jefferson street project for phase two in the amount of $6,000,000.782000. these finds are from the road repair and accountability act of 2017, otherwise known as senate bill one. san francisco public works is authorized to expend these funds due to city and county san francisco 2019, 2020 budget and appropriation ordinance on file with the board under number 180574.

they do require that san francisco public works governing body, and in this case, the board of supervisors, passed a resolution which identifies the person or the position that can execute the agreement for this project with caltrain. with that said, public works respectfully request their committee to approve the resolution in order to execute the agreement. i am joined by the public works public manager, and we would be happy to answer any questions from the committee. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions? seeing none, there was no b.l.a. report on this. let's open this up for public comment. any members of the public like to comment on item number 10? public comment is closed. i would like to make a positive recommendation to the full board, and i hope we can take that without objection. thank you very much. can you please read item number 11? >> eleven is resolution approving modification of reports to a contract for the

trent -- expansion improvement program with a long engineering to extend the term by 555 calendar days and to increase a contract amount by six my $3 million for a total not to exceed an amount of $16.3 million. >> thank you very much. i believe we have deanna here from the san francisco international airport. >> good morning, good to see you. thank you. the airport is approving just thinking your approval before the publication to an existing contract for the eritrean extension and improvement program. modifications forward would extend the contract to october 31st, 2020, and increase a contract with six my $3 million for a new not to exceed amount of 16.3 million. the eritrean extension and improvement program includes the construction of an elevated guideway extension, and two new air train stations to serve long

term parking dd, and the new airport hotel. the scope of work includes project controls, contract administration, cost estimating, and field inspection. the contract was a result of a 2015 request for qualification process, with pgh wong being the highest ranked of two respondents. as with previous contracts considered by the board, this multiyear approval aligns the contract duration with the determined amount approved by the airport commission for a more consistent process. the budget analyst recommends approval of the proposed modification and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you very much. any questions? seeing none, let's pivot to the b.l.a. >> the board is being asked to approve the fourth amendment to the contract between pgh wong and the airport for the eritrean extension project. the original contract amount -- this is the first time the board has seen this contract. the original contract budget

when the program was first set up was for $13 million. it has been increased to $16 million. that is what the board is being asked to approve. the full contract, there have been delays in the project, we summarize them on page 12 of the report. our understanding from the airport is a contract with himself was not responsible for any of these delays, but actually has to extend their work because of the delays, and as she said, the approval of this contract at $16 million is to bring a consistent approach to contract approval to the board for airport capital -related contracts so that the board is approving the contract as a whole. we summarize the budget on table one of our report. we did review it and found it to be reasonable, given the delays that were reported to us in this project, and we are recommending approval. >> thank you very much. let's open this up for public

comment. are there any members of the public would wish to comment on item number 11? seeing none, public comment is closed. do we have a recommendation here, yes, supervisor mandelman? >> just a comment or concern, which is i think this contract was originally entered into as a one-year agreement for $4 million, something like that, and ultimately,, we are approving this as, how many years, four or five years, and $16 million. that doesn't seem like a great way to be contracting. i understand the airport is going to be changing how it does this in the future, but i am just registering that. it does not feel great. >> yes, supervisor fewer, supervisor stefani, supervisor cohen, they made that very clear last year, in the next contract, we will talk about how there is

also discontinuity between the process, and we are making sure that going forward it is consistent, and you see the long term contract upfront. >> thank you very much. so let's make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. can we take that without objection? thank you very much. madam clerk, please call item 12. >> item 12 is resolution approving modification number nine for the air right contract for the terminal one center renovation project to extend the term by four years and eight months and to extend the contract. >> thank you very much. we have deanna from the san francisco international airport. >> good morning, again. the airport to seeking your approval for the ninth modification to an existing contract with a.c. jv, a joint venture for construction management services for the

airport's terminal one center renovation project. one -- it would extend the contract through december 31st, 2023, and increase a contract by $33 million for he knew not to exceed amount of $6,123,000,000. the terminal one center renovation project will create a new and called just consolidated passenger screening checkpoint, priest -- three security ticket counters at, and concession in terminal one. it also includes a new baggage handling system, and checked baggage screening system. it was a result of a 2015 request for qualification. the board approve the original contract to provide the services for an initial term of one year with for four one-year options to extend, and also saw that last year 2018. as with previous, the contracts considered by the board, this multiyear approval aligns a contract duration with the term and amount approved by the airport commission for a more consistent process. the budget analyst recommends approval of the proposed modifications, and i am happy to answer any questions.

>> colleagues, any questions? i just think the same issue that we just spoke about. but let's hear from the b.l.a. >> the board is being asked to approve the increase in this contract from the current amount of $28 million, to the proposed new amount of $61 million, and extend the term through december 20th, 2023. this was a contract which is a joint venture. i never know how to pronounce it this is for the terminal one renovation project. as we point out on page 17, table two of the reports, this project has been increased in scope and cost from $400 million, to $1.4 billion. i want to go back into the history a bit of the board's approval. the board did approve the

original contract in its entirety for $23 million when the project was at $400 million, so that was in 2015. the board didn't approve the modification number 8 to the contract last fall in september, to increase it to $28 million with a request that the airport come back with a full contract for approval. so the airport is now giving us a budget for the contract through 2023 appear to date, they've spent about 24.8 million on this contract. we do outline the budget going forward. we did review the budget and considered it to be reasonable and we are recommending it for approval. >> okay. let's open this up for public comment period are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 12? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor stefani?

>> yes, thank you, one question. what level of scope change and passenger growth occurred to triple the projected budget? >> we have increased, since 2015, we have seen an increase in passenger rates that have asked us to -- some of the projects that we were going to put in phase two are now increased to phase one, so that is outlined in the budget and legislative analyst report on page 16. things like terminal one south, terminal one north, we -- they were moved to -- which were included in phase two to terminal one, because airports across the country, including san francisco, are seeing a rapid growth in flights and passenger increases. so to make sure that we are a company --dash accommodating all of that increase. if you see in terminal one, it is sorely underdeveloped and needs to be provided to the public, so we are increasing that, which increased the scope

of the project management services. >> thank you. >> i think that going from $400 million, to $124 billion, this is one of these examples where it is really extreme, you just mentioned that supervisor cohen has had conversations with the airport before about this. okay. yes, supervisor mandelman? >> it does make you wonder what -- this seems like a reasonable reason to have a larger project. at one point for billion-dollar project makes sense, but what was happening in 2015 that the folks at the airport couldn't anticipate that? >> for this specific contract for the project management scope , we were foreseeing a longer-term development of the

project, and because of that rapid increase in growth, i think with the increase of economic stability, the increase in travelling, people are more -- we just did not foresee this increase in passenger usage of the terminals and the increase in flights. that has been seen across airports across the country. >> over the last three years. >> over the last few years, yes. we can definitely provide information about the increase of flights at s.f.o. for this specific project, i apologize i don't have those numbers since it was on the project management side, but we can show the increase over time, and what we were projecting, and how high above that it has grown in the last few years. >> okay. is there anyone who wants to make a motion on this?

>> i definitely would love to get that information. with that, considering we've made it clear what we would like to see in the future, i would move this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> okay. we can take that without objection. thank you very much. madame clark, please read item number 13. >> item 13 -- a public auction, surgeon parcels of property. >> thank you very much. i believe we have amanda from the san francisco treasurer and tax collector. >> good morning, supervisors paragraph from the asset of the treasurer and tax collector. i'm here to present for your approval 296 parcels that we are seeking to offer for auction in april. you have all been provided copies of an updated parcel list. if i can request that the new parcel list that has been

provided replace the original that was provided with the resolution. the only change is the removal of one parcel that has been fully paid for. property becomes eligible for auctions when an owner fails to pay taxes for five years, and we are required to offer properties for auction that have remained delinquent for nine years. the parcels i am bringing to you today are a tiny percentage of the 209,000 total parcels in the city. we collect over $3 billion in property tax payments annually, and over 99% of owners pay their property tax bills on time and in full. before you, for consideration today, are 233 timeshares, 33 vacant lots, ten underwater lots, and ten properties with dwellings. i want to assure you that over the past six months, we have poured over each and every parcel here before you, and as stated in the resolution, reresearch the physical characteristics and ownership history for each parcel on the

list using property information available from the assessor and the planning department. every supervisor was provided with the list of parcels, along with a one page cheater that includes a parcel map and other identifying information about the owner of record. we also expanded the research to identify as many parties of interest as possible. we used our debt collection expert to search publicly available and proprietary databases, city and county and other governmental records, as well as social media and internet searches. in some cases, the three search results and parcels being removed from the list due to title issues are ownership changes. in other cases, our frequent mailings leading up to the auction have resulted in people paying their taxes. yet we understand that it is not enough to simply mail -- go to these addresses and hope for the best. we have been tracking our return mail and taking additional steps to make sure we reach any affected party. for each vacant parcel, we will mail to all continuous parcels

to let them know if the upcoming auction and wherever feasible, we will also be physically posting on the vacant parcels this month. we've taken additional steps for any property where there could be an individual at risk of losing their home. the sheriff's deputies have visited each occupied property to provide in person notification, and in partnership with the mayor's office of housing and community development and adult protective services, we have additional resources to assist those individuals so they can pay their taxes, and remain housed. once approved by the board to, the list will also be published in the newspaper of record, and will be available on our website. thank you for your consideration, and i am available for any questions. >> thank you very much. any questions? i have one question. so i see on this list that there is property owner associations on this list.

considering before we've had an issue with one property owner association, i am wondering, are we doing due diligence with this particular group? >> whenever you see an association up for advanced research, we are kind of searching every available resource to try and find out who the members are, with the directors are, who their accountants are, we are mailing to multiple locations for each of those, and we don't stop the research until we have confirmation that someone has received the notice and that they are aware and have an interest in the property. we are definitely doing an expanded amount of research for associations. >> thank you very much. i am also noticing that there are many, many, many timeshares on here. what is happening with that

market in san francisco? >> is an interesting question. i think as we have seen a new parcel taxes be approved by the voters, the cost of owning timeshares has increased significantly, and so in the past, maybe owed a couple hundred bucks on your timeshare for property taxes per year, and now it is up to about $900 because each timeshare is usually assessed to the city college and san francisco universal parcel taxes. that is leading into it. we are actively working with companies. there are four companies that own all the timeshares buildings in san francisco to find a resolution, and we are learning from other counties, different ways that they can reoffer timeshares outside of the auction process. >> that's great. let's see. i don't think we have a b.l.a. report on this. let's open it up for public comments. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on item 13? saying none, comment is closed.

colleagues, can i make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation? can i take that without objection? thank you very much. please call item number 14. >> resolution approving and authorizing a second amendment to the existing permit with another -- to extend a term ten additional years to modify provisions of the permits related to the permit fee and rent payment, and outreach and similar matters. >> i would like to note that we are joined by supervisor mar, and we have today someone here from a recreation and parks. >> good morning, supervisors. i am the director of property and permits, it i'm here to ask your approval for the second amendment to the outside lands contract to extend it and make a few other modifications. just a little bit of background,

in 2009, the department entered into the first contract for an annual festival with another planet entertainment going through 2013. it was following an r.f.p. at that time. in 2012, after a few years under our belts, the board unanimously approved an extension to the contract until 2021. today, we are requesting an amendment to extend it for an

on top of that, it has become part of the cultural fabric of this city. it is not just music. it is music, art, culinary, in

2017, elected the top music festival. it is not just about people coming to the city. twenty-five% of the attendees are san francisco residents. there is also some other initiatives they do that benefit the city. under the existing contract, there was $10,000 initiatives. this outside lands work which is a charitable fund which provides grants to arts programs, and its environmental impact has become a standard bearer for other festivals for the country. we are one of the best with a 90 2% waste diversion. and approved by 1% last year. but the event does have an impact, and we know that. we spent a lot of time planning and trying to help mitigate the impact on the neighbours in the community for the time during the setup.

in advance, we have three event meetings with members of the community. we need extensively with our other city agencies to plan for safety and impact and transportation plans and security. mailers are sent to notify all the people in advance around the park. we also put it on our website a year in advance of people can plan. we put advertisements in the local newspaper, we provide big do not block -- it should say sidewalk, but it should say driveway signs so that neighbours can put it up on the driveway so that people don't block it. there is a community hotline that is available to address complaints during the festival, on a realtime and immediate basis, and we also keep adapting. we build one of the concerns is that during the build, the impact on bikers. we now have dedicated bike lanes and pathways for bikers during

the events. entering the load in

>> we did have a spike up this year, and we felt like something different was happening, and they are working with meyer sound, which is one of the main people in the country, and some of our recent conversations are about sound baffling technology, which is something new they've used for outside events in las vegas where there are hotels nearby, and they will be implementing those new technologies this year to try and address it. so we will remain vigilant and ensuring there are adequate ways to address the issues. >> thank you pick one other question back i noticed another planet would be required to donate a booth for the city or its designated nonprofit partner to use for purposes of community and philanthropic engagement, and/or membership outreach. can you describe what the plan is for this booth class.

>> i think that is for the park his alliance that they just wanted a chance to have a booth where they could solicit members and people who are interested in supporting our parks citywide. so we added that provision for this year to ensure that they had a space, and we envision it will be the park his alliance right there in a prominent location to solicit support for parks. >> great. thank you so much. one final comment, i didn't want to note that while the new contract would require at least one job fair in a postevent public meeting, both to be held in the richmond district, i would very much like to work closely with you all to ensure that the sense that residents are provided the opportunity to lend their voice in matters related to outside lands as well. >> absolutely. >> thank you very much. >> any comments or questions? i would like to comment on this because 70% of golden gate parkas my district.

to my constituents, i want to say that i know there is an impact on the community for those three days, and we are weighing it also of what this concert actually brings to the city and county of san francisco and our district. it is doing its fair share of bringing in entertainment dollars and much-needed dollars, quite frankly, to city coffers. i believe that they have been -- the promoters are some of the last independent promoters in this country, and that the planet entertainment has worked very closely with us, and i encourage everyone when we have our preplanning meeting, and the meetings after the concert to attend, and to bring issues and questions, because we will have a lot of people there to answer those questions. so we do not have a report on this, but let's open it up to public comments. i do have some members of the public that have given me cards

to speak on this issue. every speaker will have two minutes to speak. >> thank you. please start, you have two minutes. >> thank you. good morning, supervisors. my name is arnold woods. i am on the board of directors of western neighborhoods project. i believe some of you are familiar with the organization, but for those who are not, we are in a nonprofit history organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the west side of san francisco, once known as the outside lands but because of this, we have had a website address of outside lands.

org. when the first outside lands music and arts festival was being planned, we are contacted by the organizers about using the outside lands name because we had already been using it. we had no problem with that, of course, because the name has been part of the public lexicon of san francisco for 150 years. in the year 2010, we were invited to join the eagle lawns portion of the festival and have been there ever since. as you might imagine, people interested in the history of our city tend to skew to an older demographic, but our booth at outside lands has exposed us to a younger demographic, and a much larger audience than our typical reach. i would assume this is true for all the other nonprofit groups that are part of the eagle lands. i would also note that as a historian cackled gate part -- park has a long and rich history as a setting for a variety of musical events pick from symphonies at the bandshell, as the setting dating as far back

as 18 hundreds, to summer of love. they have a shared history. for all of these reasons, the western neighborhoods project, we would like to support the extension of the permit for the outside lands music and arts festival. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is well, i'm here representing the richmond neighborhood center in the richmond district. outside lands and outside lands works have been great partners of the richmond neighborhood center of the past year, in many years of the festival. the foundation supported our playland on balboa festival in the fall of 2018, which is our very own free and public life music and arts festival. outside lands works was recently awarded -- has recently awarded us a significant grant that will support the integration of art

and music into our multicultural and identity-based programs at both presidio and roosevelt middle school. this partnership has helped to bring visibility to the organization, and all of our programs throughout the richmond district, and we are very much looking forward to participating and working closely with the festival for many years to come. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good morning. my name is barbara, and i am a resident of the richmond district, and have been since the beginning of the festival, i just wanted to say that i think that the promoter has bent over backwards to accommodate all the concerns of the neighborhood, and i feel living on the perimeter of the affected area that every year things improve. the traffic and parking situation seems to be getting better every year, and the noise

seems to be getting better every year too. i definitely supports the festival. is a wonderful thing for san francisco. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i too have lived on the perimeter of the festival since its inception, and this is something we have really made part of our life with our families. every year, with family come from all over the country. i bring my children, i go with my mother, we have cousins that come into town, and it has been something we have treasured, and to have that go away and not be an option as a multigenerational event would be a huge shame, and i think this city needs to keep some of its cultural and music experience part of the fabric so i am in full support.

>> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i am an area entertainment sales manager for viceroy hotel group, basically hotels. i have had the pleasure to partner with another planet entertainment on this festival, i'm actually going on 12 years with them, and in short, our properties basically assisting hosting bands, entertainment production staff and festivalgoers, i pulled a report this morning, it over the last 12 years, we have done our hotel group, around to bring $3 million worth of revenue for the city and tourism. not only is this an economic win, i feel like this festival also builds community. i also would like to say i've gone every 11 years, i would like to comment on what an amazing job they do on taking care of the park during this festival. to see the evolution of their recycling programs, how they

take care of fans, but it is just great to see how they respect the neighbours from noise ordinances and everything like that. that's all i have pick i'm a huge fan. i hope you extends the permits. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i am here representing the community music center. we were founded in 1921. our mission is to make music accessible to everyone regardless of their financial means. we have a branch in the richmond district, have had since 1983, and our headquarter is in the mission. last year we served 2700 people. we touch all ages and musical genres, and this year we will work with financial assistance. that said, we are so pleased to be approached last year by outside lands as they developed their philanthropy.
