1:00 am
the early and new now after the figures were just updated a couple weeks ago. so we are in the process right now of updating our outreach materials based on the newly adopted figures and we will be issuing letters to pred.d.a. households in early april and we will have an informational table set up at the april on island board meeting, and tentatively planning to have a drop in session later in april where people can come in and ask questions as well on a saturday, and then the option would be available to households beginning may 1st and ending february of next year. if we've made an election at the end of february based on continued interest to extend the
1:01 am
window further, we went update the outreach materials and reissue them to residents, so that is our timing update, but i will take any questions that you have. >> commissioner dunlop? >> thank you, very much, madam chair. i wasn't here last weekend, so my apologies. was there a discussion last week regarding the meeting that was on the island a week before? because this kind of feeds right into that and some of the concerns of the people on the island. >> yeah, there was some discussion and supervisor haney attended last week chop chop meeting and wait in with his thoughts.
1:02 am
i will be meeting with him to brief him further on the transitional housing programs that are parts of the d.d.a. for both what one treasure island households and households of the villages. we'll be going over that this week. >> and moneywise, we haven't, it was promised, it's available -- >> if people choose to take the in lieu payment, then those funds are available in our budget, and their replacement housing as part of the projects that we are working on with mercy and catholic charities, in particular will be our first opportunity for replacement housing. also, at the april board meeting , naturally mentioned earlier that we will have updates on both the shares and
1:03 am
catholic charities buildings, but also a presentation on the first market right mac building that will be constructed. which will be the first -- which will include inclusionary affordable units that will be for sale so there will also be future information on the pre marketing opportunities and when that window will be for pre d.d.a. households for people to purchase either a market right or affordable units within the development. >> and the affordable, that is 5% of the units on why b.i.a.? >> yes. it is 5% of the figure overall. in this particular building, we'll include all of the affordable units, so this building will be more than 10% affordable.
1:04 am
>> i see. there was a lot of concern from people who do fit into the market right mac currently bubble fit into market right down the road just because prices have gone so high. has that been discussed, will that be discussed, there's a lot of people who are very concerned on the island. >> for the pred.d.a. households that are offered replacement housing, their rent will be tied to their current rent, so they will not see a big change in their rent for their households. >> and purchasing a certain amount of people might have been able to afford it five years ago
1:05 am
, we really have no idea right now is that kind of true. >> and we don't have control over the market cycle. >> we just don't have any figures from t.i. c.d. on the purchase pricing. >> maybe we can talk later about last week's meeting. i'm so sorry i missed it. >> i have some questions. from the last meeting, and i know commissioner dunlop, yes, you were absent, staff provided the outreach and it was quite impressive. we had indicated all along that it is very important and you are doing a great job out there and you need to demonstrate that because sometimes, especially when we have a new supervisor and nailed this matter now, is nearing conclusion, which
1:06 am
started this outreach years ago and listed a consultant to help us, and every meeting we have had a tighter regular meeting and also in the infrastructure transportation, we will be asking for updates on this. that was very informative, and i'm sure that the supervisor has one. in fact, i would think that knowledge should also be available to tenants. sometimes you can have 200 households, all it takes is one or three people. they will show up and say no, they didn't hear anything. we know it is unfair, but at least you can produce and say, this is what we have. we have all these opportunities, and we are still engaging with them. so that's going to be very important. secondly, a lot of misconception that's why when we engage the public, give the history for
1:07 am
treasure islands. no one on treasure island has been evicted. in fact, the truth and mercy generosity of san francisco, they set aside some of the tenants, they called them pre-d.d.a., about 200 of them, and given them generously with the benefits that we are talking about here. nobody should be entitled for anything but the city of san francisco is very important. when we go out there and we talk and we talk about a supervisor and we keep keep them up-to-date because they do not know, because the residents are doing this, and we do not explain it, even to the press and everyone. what happened is we keep passing misinformation down the line, that is not what is happening here. other things that i need to do here is that -- we need to define what we mean by caregivers, and we see all the
1:08 am
documents and we know it is very important when we communicate that people know the composition and the household. san francisco has a policy that is set aside and we are bound by as a sitting agency for public housing tenants. there is a lot of policy in there. we need to define that because we are still bound by that. although, these issues that i have, are we making available to the pre-d.d.a. households about housing opportunities in san francisco? they're also san francisco residents. as you see now, they have their names and everything should be in there. why? to develop. again, we have all the restrictions. if i'm looking for it, and san francisco is developing everywhere, they should also be
1:09 am
aware of that because there maybe a percentage that are not going to be waiting for many years more before we complete the funding and get things done. i want to make sure it is great to be treasure island and housing is in there so we let them build. there's all this opportunity in san francisco, don't put your eggs in one basket. i think we can own that. at the end of the day, they have all of these options and to utilize, to stay on the island or move out of the island based on their needs. again, i wanted to put that out there. so basically that is what we are doing here. so make available the outreach so that everybody has access to that. i think it will be very helpful
1:10 am
for all of us here. the staff did a great job in updating that log, and we need to continue to update that. i noticed that the outreach was to june, it precludes all of these other discussions somewhere. today we talked about that, we talked about that last week for the city. there should be another log attached to that so people can see the breadth and scope of how much time we have devoted to this particular issue than any other issue. believe me, it will happen at some points. down the line and a few months, you will read about it, and even the media are inquiring about this particular process. we better be getting all of the information to them so they understand before any misinformation is published. we will say it right here. no other comment from the
1:11 am
commissioners, let me ask the public. do you have any other further comments on this matter? next item on the agenda, please. >> item number 8 is discussion of future agenda items by directors. >> okay. , a couple of things. commissioners, please jump in this laundry list. we need to have a presentation on the m.t.c., an update on the bicycle bridge that is westbound that it talked about. it would be great to bring them back to the questions. i think it maybe time for an update. t.i. m.m.a., i think they need to come back. and we have a new supervisor now , and we need to re-energize the discussion all along because
1:12 am
2021 is the first housing on the island and we still have no results. timma issues a lot of information out there, and it maybe possible if we educate the supervisor that they should be going to the legislature. t.i. d.a. is only do compliance here, this matter was mandated by the state, again, based on the reality for treasure island, not being accessible from the bridge, and that we are going to have to buy a fairy. and the city and county of san francisco would not buy that unless there was a toll, and unless they wanted to revert back to cancel the toll and purchase a fairy. i think let's talk about that right now and we need to jump on this discussion. and issues regarding water transportation in general, i
1:13 am
think for 2019, tida would like to be involved in the overall discussion so we might be ringing this back for further discussions. anything as you would like to put on the agenda for consideration? okay. >> two quick things. to matt and the pole -- timma and the pole got a lot of things excited. perhaps that can be a citywide cause because it is a citywide benefits. just looking towards the future, secondly, the issue about the testing, and so if we could have some information as soon as it's available, we don't know about
1:14 am
treasure island, but certainly there has been some conversation about the company over hunters point. we do have some information, and certainly not before. >> thank you so much. thank you for joining us for your time. thank you to all of our guests and the staff today. this concludes the, is that correct, meeting. see you next time. thank you. [♪]
1:15 am
>> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪] [♪]
1:16 am
[♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and
1:17 am
something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was
1:18 am
interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera.
1:19 am
they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that
1:20 am
someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug
1:21 am
shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future.

(applause). my name is robert odriscoll as introduced and it's my great honor to be here for this remarkable occasion, celebrating the irish history here in this fair city. we've got a busy programme. we have three small short things to say. first, i want to say a huge congratulations to irish society. it's the 108th year for this parade, the longest running parade west of the mississippi and every year it's better and bert. whabetter. i love the focus on the people in the community, all of the the people who make the irish here a special community. the honorary grand marshals and this is an incredible bunch of people who made an enormous
1:45 am
contribution and it's important they're remembered and i want to pay tribute to everything they do on celebrating our heritage here, not just today but also my new favorite, k kennedy day. so thank you very much, l iriamr all of your leadership. but the big job of the parade today is, of course, the grand measuregrandmarshal and the thet be any more fitting. women breaking barrier. it's fitting for a couple of different reasons but for me in ireland this year, we're celebrating 100 years of the first irish woman to be an irish minister and constance m absolute markovicwas one who br,
1:46 am
rather it was lady gregory, each one of them broke barriers in a male-dominated world and imagine in ireland, and i think that not only do women breaking barriers in 1919 in ireland but there's a huge number of women breaking barriers here. i think about kay kennedy who brought equal work and sister mary bosel and mary cowland who has been recognized for balancing the books. right through to today to chief hayes' wife. but also when i look across the irish organizations, i see irish women lead in our community and
1:47 am
celine kenity, valerie mcgrue, josephine brogan and kathleen manning. [ laughter ] our women lead in san francisco and mayor, that is a tradition in which you're honored with this award over the next couple of days and thank you for being a part of our celebration.
