about thank you. and it's just wonderful to see everyone and let me say a couple of things real quick. i know that you all and sitting looking at me and that what you're really thinking you know i've been last on the program before and when your last on the program. you know that everybody not just really just want you to hurry up shall i show. i am gonna do my best to hurry up let me shakeup but a couple of things. i'm glad you mentioned a bill to staff here because now i don't have to. i was going to do it. it was some outstanding. work going on we had to be tough to get it done but everyone did their job played the role of building i like you should we go back a very long ways he's not quite as old as i am but he's close see he's close

and really you know we knew each other around the times the feinstein days in the mosque only and agnus days but where we kind of really got to know each other we actually played basketball together a few times and whether you know it or not or whether you think he looks like enough bill used to have pretty good little point guard game back in today brilliant play you know east coast he played east coast style. they don't they don't do much outside shooting but they can go to the whole pretty good. he could go to do. pretty good show he called me and said arnold i'm doing some work in the west additional coming back to town to do some work and i need you to come help me. i said bill i'm flattered but the days of me coming into office at 9:00. that's all i'm an old man. and he said no no no i just need your help. you know and and really

didn't tell me the truth because you kind of told me it's part time. you know you won't have much to do but what he was generous and that wrote me in. and so i came back and i'm really grateful that i did. i finally did something smart all these years of living i said you know i've gotten older bill and i don't do much heavy lifting. and i've got a younger partner man friend and so should my younger brother and i need to have him come on the project and so he said. who you talked about i said gary banks. is your well we don't really knowing but we can tell. and gary came on and it is without question one of the most brilliant things that i have ever done i'm sorry what. gary put together here and that pitts plaza de services team which hasn't been mentioned a lot today but the people. who work directly with the residents dealing with problems they have and i mean things you wouldn't think of. but

everything from child support help of people that it happens child support issues trying to get people very removal so people can get jobs and go to work helping with g d driver the life you name it. these people did it it wasn't necessarily what they came on and we're told to do but they put together a team danielle banks who kind of managers things and then darlene was here and robin jackson and not guiana who are at this project he put together people who didn't look at the job description. but when a problem came through the door. they set out to solve it. and they have been absolutely brilliant and if i keep on talking about him i'm gonna get emotional. cause i love seeing people uplifted so let me just say this to the residents here. we can all come in all these people that have been mentioned all day and it before you. this development team we can come in and build you a house we can do that we've done but it

takes the people i but the point i'm making is do what you have to do so that you have a decent on the libyan and a doctor mccray was right your number one priority for you children your children your grandchildren your neighbors. is peace you want peace at home because when i get tired of all the company out in the street i go home may not be anybody there but me but i'm not gonna have trouble out anyone so go there. so as we said as we adjourn and and there's food back there i assume i sure hope so. why don't we do this whatever your discipline may be whatever your culture requires your faith culture

if you're not attached to anything that you believe is greater than you. then i'm gonna pray for you to my god. but what and whatever name you may call you want to do whatever name you may call guy. do it now. and let's just ask blessings upon this event we think west for thanks for this event and blessings upon the food that we're about to receive that it will nurse shows but not only in body but it mind and spirit that it will. and that that spirit will not rest until it gets the amount of love. out of each of us that it needs and let everyone say a man. thank you. as the first of all or thank you for dating me but where i come from east coast style is a compliment. you're right

about that. all you don't get the final word todd plater from tabernacle very involved in the bricks and mortar the people side and everything in between. he's been with us from the beginning. he's helped keep everything together and is going to continue to do that. tom. as good afternoon. well i guess we're still in the morning so i'll make this quick so we can get onto the afternoon first off. thank you all for being here i want to acknowledge mayor breed supervisor brown and state treasurer fiona ma. for their remarks and participation in this momentous occasion well i had

a whole thing. mapped out about who i was gonna mention and and and and you know we recognize this this morning and i've really become so engage in what everybody else has said and their acknowledgements of the key players in this project that i'm not sure there's a whole lot more i can add what i will say is that this project has been a three year saga and it has involved many planning and community and teen meetings at various levels that have made it possible for us to celebrate

today i liked it. refer to the history of this property as a world war 2 era construction. complex and while the mayor noted that you know it takes a village to build a community like this. what i want to add is that it takes an army to modernize a world war 2 era concrete block set of buildings and grounds and we had a fantastic team to execute this task first off i want to. invite lisa grady up to the podium she's been the voice of reason when it comes to decisions around

the redevelopment of this property and i have to say throughout our ups and downs together we been able to make the lives of the residents better and expect that this is not just a statement about what we can do for today. it's a statement about what we intend to do for the generations ahead. and so what i want to. impart to you is that our relationship has grown not just from work here at this property but also at robert be pits oh it's been quite a journey and i want to. you know embrace lisa.

applause i also want to acknowledge some of the ground troops that have made this project a success. in particular with respect to engaging the residents. i want to acknowledge the f our each team some who have moved on and some who are new to the property but as was noted earlier by remote towns and dani robertson robin jackson were very essential again in an enabling us to meet the residents where they are and to help them grow and embrace. change because this is a big change also i want to acknowledge alonzo tour is and the maintenance team their work is largely unseen until you actually come back

to the property after they have made their mark it's really a statement to their commitment to this property i want to thank our relocation specialists that woman has had the probably most arduous task of all helping residents relocate to temporary quarters and all of the preparations that are necessary to get them out of their old units into temperature units and then back into their. originally unit that's jessica garlic issue here today. maybe she didn't make it. but anyway kudos to her. yes as around there are a couple of key residents that i want to recognize for prevailing with

us one is the former tenet association president emma casey. emma was really my voice of the community because she never fail to pull my coat tails and and to beat me down about what i should do and what i need to do more of and so imus really a champion for this community and i and i appreciate all of her service. as i also want to recognize the work of randy walton who spoke earlier? he's now the treasure. he was the vice president and has been the coordinator of the food bank for these past three years that we've been here with this project and let me

tell you having to move the food bank from one unit to another and coordinate deliveries and make sure that folks get food who aren't always able to attend the food bank when it. when it's open you know it's it's a it's a monumental task and i have to say he has been steadfast in his commitment to seeing to it that people. have the food that many rely on you know for for their sustenance and and he continues at work and i'm looking forward to him and the council and community to improving on that. now that we have a new community room. we're looking forward to them moving the food bank there and operating well into the future. thank you randi. as so there are some some

some design and construction full that need recognition this this morning as well you heard me me. sullivan. mentioned earlier and her crew it cites sullivan design design firm and i also want to acknowledge the other design team members including dan morris of. moral morris our landscape architect who did a fantastic job as you can see you know. let's just say breaking up some of this concrete you know this. you wouldn't believe what a concrete jungle. this was but now it looks like like people live here. oh that's a tribute to a lot of the thought and ever that was put in by dan in his team. also i want to acknowledge

alan burr with murphy burr curry our structural engineer. so listen if you've ever dealt with a world war two arab building you know his work was cut out for him because it's a lot of concrete that had to be penetrated and worked with and overcome over these years. then i want to also recognize boy i tell you maybe contractors is one of san francisco is a san francisco treat. i just can't tell you how proud we are of of having them be our contractor they've been responsive they don't have not only been responsive to the developer they've been responsive to the resonance. i mean residents have stopped them in the middle of. you know away a hammer and and

saw activity to help them overcome whatever little. you know nuance needed to be addressed and i i appreciate them and i want to just mentioned kieran daily. i think he's here. i seek care. there he is. he's a brand new dad. and so i'm glad he could make it. and then i also want to recognize our. the guy you know who keeps all the contractors workers in line. jim galloway and jim is fantastic man. also the supervisor that work with us at robert be pits. and then of course kobe colby newell is kobe here. there he is. back there. oh escaped moorish that man you know has

>> i have been living in san francisco since 1957. i live in this area for 42 years. my name is shirley jackson, and i am a retirement teacher for san francisco unified school district, and i work with early childhood education and after school programs. i have light upstairs and down stairs. it's been remodelled and i like it. some of my floors upstairs was

there from the time i built the place, so they were very horrible and dark. but we've got lighting. the room seems lighter. they painted the place, they cemented my back yard, so i won't be worried about landscaping too much. we have central heating, and i like the new countertops they put in. up to date -- oh, and we have venetian blinds. we never had venetian blinds before, and it's just cozy for me. it meant a lot to me because i didn't drive, and i wanted to be in the area where i can do my shopping, go to work, take the kids to school. i like the way they introduced the move-in. i went to quite a bit of the meetings. they showed us blueprints of

the materials that they were going to use in here, and they gave us the opportunity to choose where we would like to stay while they was renovating. it means a lot. it's just that i've been here so long. most people that enjoyed their life would love to always retain that life and keep that lifestyle, so it was a peaceful neighborhood. the park was always peaceful, and -- i don't know. i just loved it. i wanted to be here, and i stayed.

>> hi.

my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. buying your first home is a big deal. for many of us, it's the single largest asset that we'll own. that's why it's really important to plan ahead for property taxes so that there are no surprises. a typical question new homeowners ask is what is a supplemental tax. so understand supplemental tax, we need to start with proposition 13. under california's prop 13 law, the value we use to calculate your property tax is limited to a 2% growth peryear, but when ownership changes, prop 13 requires that we set a properties assessed value to market value. the difference in value between the previous owner's value and the new value is the supplemental assessment. how does the supplemental assessment translate to the tax you need to pay? supplemental tax is calculated by applying the tax rate to the value and then prorating it for the amount of time that you owned it in that tax year. in generale, the tax rate is

roughly 1%. let's walk-through an example together. here dan is the original owner of a home with a prop 13 protected value of $400,000. with a tax rate of 1%, he pays $4,000. dan sells his home to jennie at a market rate of $700,000. in this case, jennie's home will be reassessed to $700,000, and jennie is responsible for paying property taxes at that level from the time she first owns it. many times, people might have already paid their property taxes in full by the time they sell their home. in that case, dan has paid $4,000 in taxes already for the full year. jennie would likely payback dan through escrow for her share of the $4,000, depending on the proportion of the tax year she owns the home. however, she's also responsible for paying taxes at the higher market value from when she begins to own the home. how does that work?

let's say jennie owns the property for nine months of the first tax year, which is approximately 75% of the year. during the escrow process, she'd pay dan back 75% of the $4,000 he already paid, which is $3,000. on top of that, she would owe taxes at the higher rate for the proportion of the year she owned the house. in this case, she owes the amount not already billed through dan or $700,000 minus $400,000, multiplied by a tax rate of 1%, and multiplied again by 75% to reflect the time she owned the home in that tax year. here, jennie's supplemental tax is roughly $2,250. going forward, jennie will be billed at her new reset prop 13 value. are you still with us? if this isn't complicated enough, some new owners might

receive two supplemental tax bills, and this has to do with the date that you transfer property. but before we get to that, you first need to understand two concepts. first, what is a fiscal year? in california, local government runs on a fiscal year. unlike the calendar year, where the year begins on january 1, a fiscal year begins in the middle of the year, on july 1. property tax follows the fiscal year cycle. second, state law requires property be valued as of january 1 every year, in other words, new year's day. the value as of january 1 is used to calculate property taxes for the upcoming fiscal year. this means property value as of january 1, 2018 will be usedtor fiscal year 18 -- used for fiscal year 18-19 covering july 2018 through june 2019. similarly, the value of january 1, 2019 will be used for the

fiscal year covering july 2019 through june 2020. now back to whether you should expect to receive one or two supplemental tax bills. the rule of thumb is that if the property transfers happens in the first half of the fiscal year, in other words between july and december, then you should expect only one supplemental tax fill. if the transfer happens in the second half of the fiscal year or between january and june, you should expect two supplemental tax bills. here's the reason why. using dan and jennie's example again, dan's $400,000 value as of january 1 is used to set the tax bill for the following fiscal year beginning july through june of the next year. jennie buys the property from dan in october. the taxable value is reset to $700,000 as of october, but the bill issued still reflects dan's lower value. in this case, jennie would expect to receive one supplemental or catch-up bill to capture the difference

between her assessed value and began's fr began's -- dan's from october through june. because of january 1 we already know of the sale, we would have used the following year to set jennie's property taxes and no other supplemental bill should be received. however, if dan sells the property to jennie in march, instead, jennie should expect two supplemental bills. like before, jennie would receive one supplemental bill to cover the time in which she owned the home in the current tax year from march to june. but because as of the next january used to set the tax base for the following tax year, dan still owned the home, the following year's entire bill still reflects the values not updated for jennie. in this instance, jennie receives a second supplemental for the following year covering july through june. after the supplemental tax bills, new owners should receive only one regular tax bill peryear going forward.

remember our office values the properties, but billing and collections are handled by another organization called the treasurer and tax collector's office. if you'd like to learn more, please visit our website at sfassessor.org. thank you for watching. >> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists,

and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything.

>> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you

don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally.

>> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon

cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the

operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one

roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy,

>> chair fewer: the meeting will come to order. i am supervisor sandra fewer, the chair of the budget and finance committee. this is the february 27, 2019 meeting. madam clerk, are there any announme
