[roll call] >> we have approval. >> thank you. please call the next item. >> recommend approval of the proposed fiscal year 20 -- 2018- 2019 action item. >> great, good morning, chair haney, committee members. i'm the deputy director of capital projects. i am happy to propose our amendment to the 2018-2019 amendment to the budget. as you know, we are preparing for the redevelopment of the island. more than 20,000 people are planned for on the island ultimately in terms of build out the island mobility goals are to incentivize transit, discourage the use of private autos through

tolling, paid parking, and more importantly, performance targets of 5050 mode chair, transit walking, biking, and vehicles. the bay bridge is quite congested, and particularly the commute times. the key outcomes are to limit outcomes. to pay for transit service, and most importantly, that make sure that we have an affordability program for the low-income residents on the island. i want to talk about an overview of the schedule here as it relates to the entire program. some of the physical infrastructure is taking longer for us to go ahead and start construction on and actually complete construction on. as you know right now, one of the roads on the island is under construction. it is the developer's responsibility will to widen that road. the rain has delayed that a bit. we are also trying to get this project out for construction, and we're hoping to do that in

the fall. finally, what is called the westside bridges contract for the western side of the island, which will follow those contracts that we have talked about there. it is anticipated to be completed, not originally planned by the late 21 time frame, but we're looking more towards the late 22, early 23 timeframe. knowing that, we are adjusting our schedules accordingly in terms of the work ahead of us. we also know how important it is to continue our outreach efforts with the community in terms of the affordability program, and also with the business interest on the island, and working in close cooperation and partnership with the treasure island develop and authority. i want to take a look at the line item detail here. we are asking for just under a 1.3 million dollars decrease in the budget. primarily due to holding back on the implementation of some of

the civil design efforts, as well as what's called the toll system integration contract, which is an important contract in terms of implementing the tolls, and given the fact that we had originally anticipated a december of 2018 approval, and it looks like now we're targeting about december 2019, or spring of 2020 approval for the toll policies. we are hoping on that effort to make sure that we utilize the funding that we have as appropriately as possible. this graphic indicates the toll revenues that were anticipated in our proposed amendment about a $1.3 million decrease. the expenditures in that same realm, about a $1.3 million decrease. most of it is working with our technical professional services, consultants, our own personnel, in terms of moving all the planning efforts forward, and in particular, rachel hyatt and

others on the staff. that concludes my presentation if you have any questions. i am available here right now. colleagues, any questions? all right. any public comment on this item? all right. seeing none, we will take this -- can we have a motion to move item four forward without objection? all right. so moved. same house, same call. mr. clerk, please call the next item. >> item one is a public hearing, recommend adoption of the proposal -- of the proposed fiscal year 2019, 2020 annual budget and work program. this is an action item. >> thank you, once again. i'm the deputy director of capital projects. happy to present the fiscal year 2019, 2020 budget. i will now introduce the

director of the developed authority because i want to make sure he provides you the information that has been asked from the public on the island, and the congestion pricing. and in essence, the legality of that in some of the prior history. i will let bob start with that presentation in that regard, then i will go ahead and start talking about the workplan of the budget. thank you. so as eric mentioned, we have given an update at the board board meeting earlier this month and erica sherrick asked me to repeat some of this just on the history of the congestion pricing program. congestion pricing was anticipated at that -- in the beginning of the 1996 base reuse plan for the island and has been run throughout the planning work

that has stemmed from that initial work. in the 1996 plan, for residential development, the plan to limit all to use most of it be developed prior to the develop and his of these things. they should include limits on parking, including pricing of parking, transit amendment management measures such as road pricing tolls, better access to the island, and community design that integrate support services. schools, parks, retail, into the development. that is the land use plan, and the plan that has been carried forward from that time, and congestion pricing has been an integral element of both the subsequent analysis and plans that have been endorsed by the board of supervisors. and the e.i.r., in the

environmental evaluation, congestion pricing is part of the project in the final environmental impact report, to be clear, that means all of the analysis that was done as part of the e.i.r. tolling congestion pricing was part of the base case. it is not a mitigation measure that was implemented after analysis in order to mitigate impacts, but it is part of the underlying assumptions when evaluating impacts. and so under ceqa, we need to move forward with congestion pricing as part of the project. we would no longer be implementing the approved project and it is worth noting that the design of the roadway network from the island also anticipates the impacts and tolling in tolling with automobile demand and ramp cueing as an example, the ramps onto the bridge will be metered during peak commute hours and

any excess automobiles trying to access the bridge will queue back onto those street networks on the island, and without the pricing component of congestion pricing, that queue will be longer, and the impacts on the roadway more severe. congestion pricing is also a critical source of funding for the transportation services, developed as part of the project , ferry service, a.c. transit, on island shuttle, and other transportation programs, but it is also more then a source of funding. it discourages automobile use, increases the relative attractiveness of transit, and mitigates the impact of automobile trips on the bay bridge and the island roadway network.

under the transportation implementation plan, the demand management programs, and to monitor and make changes as required to meet the program objectives as eric highlighted in his prior presentation. also per the transportation implementation plan, it did call up the expectations to implement congestion pricing with the first base of development. in conclusion, i will hand it over to eric, the development plan for treasure island has been the results of more than two decades of public planning, and attempts to balance land use , transportation, and sustainability in a comprehensive and forward thinking manner. this approach, and the island's unique location have require the adoption of some measures like congestion pricing that will not

-- that are not unprecedented nationally, or are not new to the bay area. the challenge for tim a and tee ida is to determine how to implement this pricing in a manner that achieves the goals and objectives of the long-term development of the island while recognizing the challenges that the program presents two current residents and businesses. with that, i will hand it back to eric. >> great, thank you, bob. i will focus the remainder of my presentation on the work ahead of us. i will start and continue to repeat outreach and how important that is for us to work with this committee and this board, and in particular, with the residents on the island today, as well as the business community. we are also going to focus efforts on developing a funding strategy for the overall implementation of the program. we have already started that work and have different funding that we have been successful in obtaining and looking forward to

developing a strategy that we bring to this committee here. we have already started transit design work and are moving forward, in particular with the policy and affordability program as well as civil engineering designs, just on a preliminary basis, and also to the documentation. let's get a little bit more specific on the outreach. our intent is to collaborate with the businesses. we have already had some discussions with key businesses and anticipate working sessions in the summer of 2019. what we are calling creation of an affordability benefits program that we can go ahead and present to the committee and to the board for approval later this year or early in 2020. so we understand the importance of that, and that will be the main focus of our efforts moving forward this year. we have already had numerous outreach events of the last year in particular, and we will continue to have them with the residents on the island. stay tuned for more information

as we move forward here with the program. i mentioned the funding strategy this gives you an update on some of the key approvals that we have received today, in particular, the federal money for the transportation and congestion management technologies deployment. approximately $5.3 million which is for the tolling system, design and installation, but also for the autonomous shuttle pilot project that i will give you more detail on later in the presentation. we are pursuing other grant opportunities, in particular, discussions with the regional measure three and the bay area toll authority. as indicated before, the transit path design work is underway. mobility as a service, we anticipate giving major updates here over the next quarter in that regard. we have had discussions with the water emergency transportation authority as it relates to potentially starting ferry service through them and with

them, and i have had discussions with the service operators themselves in that regard. so we will continue this efforts as we move forward. and exciting project is also the autonomous vehicle shuttle pilot that we discussed. we're moving forward with goals and objectives right now. we anticipate having at the concept of operations done this fiscal year, and some major stakeholder engagement later in the year. the toll policy analysis back to probably the biggest challenge ahead of us is making sure we come up with an affordability program that works, that is financially feasible, and it works for the island residents and the businesses that are there. we will continue that effort in terms of our transportation demand model work as well as our financial model efforts. we do have, as i mentioned, different construction contracts on the island that we control, as well as the westside bridges. we are incorporating the civil divine -- design that is required for the tolling systems for that work.

basically what we're doing is implementing the conduit work as part of the construction packages and some of the other civil infrastructure. we will have to perform some additional environmental analysis, just specific to the locations of where we will have entries, basically the infrastructure, it is minimal in that regard, but it is an important step for us to be able to utilize the federal funds. the budget in front of you shows a proposed budget of approximately $2.7 million, as you see there, the revenue and expenditures, it has a different way of looking at it from a pie chart perspective on how we utilize these funds. this is the budget itself. total revenues is to $.745 million. finally, the expenditures and how we intend to use the funds that we have in front of us. primarily, the environment of

documentation, the outreach, our outreach being the prime work ahead of us, as well as the civil design and making sure we incorporate those into the construction packages that we are finalizing, and have finalized for southgate and for westside bridges. our recommendation is adoption of the proposed fiscal year 19- 20, my apologies, that reads wrong. the annual budget and work program. that concludes my presentation. >> thank you. deputy director cordova, any public comment on this item? all right. commissioner walton? >> thank you, chair haney. just a quick question in regards to the conversation around congestion pricing, where is the plan for total exemption for current residents and for -- future low income residents? >> we had developed prior in the latter part of 2018.

we had come forth with a stipend recommendation of a proximal he three per household. at that time, the board board and the previous chair of the committee, as well as the authority board asked us to go ahead and look at, in essence, a more long-term solution, and a different solution in that regard. we are going ahead and working on the travel demand modelling associated with that, as well as the financial model in that regard, in terms of the cost. you will hear a lot more of that here in this fiscal year. >> as of now, we don't have a plan that focuses on total exemption for current residence, and future low income residents? >> what we are doing is running the model information to understand the impacts to the program in that regard and how that might impact the rate itself.

we're developing that right now, commissioner. we will definitely come back to you with more information here. we understand how critical it is >> along those lines -- my understanding is, nothing in this workplan is making any sort of final decisions about anything related to the toll or the congestion pricing, it is just they are approving the ongoing outreach, and then there will be a timeline where you will bring forward to us some different recommendations, that then we will provide input for and make a final decision. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> any further questions or comments. can we have -- can we move this forward without objection? all right. so moved. same house, same call. could you please call the next item? >> item six, introduction of new

items. this is an information item. >> are there any new items? no? any public comment on this? seeing none, mr. clark, please call the next item. >> item seven is public comment. >> is there any general public comment? seeing none, all right, this meeting is adjourned. >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and

we don't often knowledge that but we feel their spirits on the hill. this is a beautiful space. it is a beautiful space and the homes that reside across the street and up the street and up this hill and down the street. those will be one day another transformation in physical form. we are talking about more than a physical form. my people believe in spirits. i am 90% of what you don't see my thoughts, beliefs, mind and spirit. i want to honor and acknowledge those people that came before me to acknowledge that they gave and they sacrificed in ways we will never know. i want to say thank you to the people that made this possible. this is only one of many phases of transformation in the physical. this is one of the milestones in

the spirit and emotional. if you can bow your heads at this time and i want to say to made god, my heavenly father and those praying to your god. i am talking about one god. the spirit muffs among us. it is someone that is bigger, stronger than us that knows this right here was going to happen. i share with you earlier today walking in the building the young woman said do you remember me? do you remember me? my name is faith. i said what? my name is faith. it comes to me transformation is happening. if you believe, if you have faith that change is going to come, i want to say today change has come. i want to say thank you, lord,

now we are ready to do this work, to build a set of 100% affordable housing units in the community for the first time in a half a century. it takes a mission-driven developer. the leader of the incredible and extraordinary partner who is behind this incredible building cynthia parker from bridge housing. [applause.] >> thank you. i appreciate that. what a crowd. you know, i am so impressed that so many people came out here to help us dedicate this building, but particularly i think what is so wonderful we have had so many people from the resident community who are so excited about this. last saturday we had an open house for the residents to allow

them to come through and tour the building and get a chance to see it. they are just so jazzed and so are we. last week we had our first resident start to move in. i have to tell you it makes my heart so glad to see this ham. i have been at bridge for nine years now. it is hard to believe. it went by like a second. i have to tell you this was the first project i got involved in. we had been awarded this development awhile ago, two years before i got here, and we had a very lengthy entitlement process. a lot has changed in san francisco during that time. the housing situation has become much more acute but we also have leaders like mayor breed who have said we are going to step

up to speed up the process to make the development of affordable housing a priority in the community. we have seen that happen. we are now seeing permitting and entitlements under expedited process happen under senate sb35 which senator wiener introduced which allows us to get things developed in a quick fashion. we see those entitlements by right go through in 60 days as opposed to nine years. it really makes a difference when the community when the leadership of the city says we put this first because we need this kind of housing. i would like to give a couple shout outs to people who made this happen, you know. we have our residents, on you mayor, we also have maria. thank you for all of your

support. i remember going to your office and you were right there with us. i thank you for that. jeff sparks is the district director for senator wiener. thanks. we have a couple bridge board members who are very supportive. dennis o bryan is in the crowd and ron is our board chair. we also have folks from obviously hope sf and the mayor's office of housing. thank you, kate, for all you have done. you have been an awesome director for the office of housing. i also want to acknowledge dan aldoses dams. i accused had -- dan at dams -- dan adams. he is still helping us out. thank you, dan.

just a real quick compilation. this is going to end up going over 1675 units of housing. we would like to squeeze in a few more because we need the housing in the city. it will have affordable development across the street and market rate development which we want to see in the next year or so. there will be 15,000 square feet every tail, 25,000 to 35,000 square foot community center open to the neighborhood, daycare spaces and three and a half acres public space. this has 72 affordable units. part of the problem is people are living in public housing. i know they are anxious to get out. we want to help that happen. we have to build the units in order to move them out. that is going on. this space was created first.

next spaces will carry things down and move people in. there are spaces for resident services and programs. this is a leads gold building. we are pursuing that. it shows our commitment to suggestion stain ability. -- sustainability. it takes a village. you are our village and you helped make this happen. i appreciate it. [applause.] are you going to introduce the mayor? i don't mind. i would love to. i would like to with this introduce or beautiful and lovely mayor of san francisco, london breed, who has just a tremendous appetite to make things happen for afford annual housing. thank you, mayor breed. [applause.] >> i can't believe how cold it

is in potrero hill. usually it is warm. i am so excited to be here today. this is a long time coming. i often go back to my experience of when i lived in plaza east in the western addition. at that time during the hope six project, we tore down 300 units of housing and only built 200. we made mistakes and moved people out of san francisco. sadly, a lot of mistakes that i am glad that today we are not repeating those same mistakes. we are making sure residents of potrero hill have a place to move in directly in their communities. that is a big deal with all of the challenges that existed in the past. the breeds have history in potrero hill. the breeds -- that is my sister for those who don't know.

my mother lived at connecticut and i spent a lot of time in potrero hill for so many years. eddy and brenda were a sustain in the community. we are grateful they were like mommy and daddy in the neighborhood. get in the house. it is too late for you out here. this is an amazing community. it is filled with so many incredible people who deserve to live in better conditions than what has existed for far too long in public housing. you know addressing the challenges with public housing is my number one priority. when you have had to live in the kinds of conditions where you had no control and no money to make any changes, there is nothing else that would be more important to you than changing those conditions when you have the ability to do so. i won't get into the details of

the challengeses. don't get my started on the mold and pipes and roaches and drama and calling a number no one would find out and you had to pay somebody $5 to pick the toilet so you didn't have to use the neighbor's toilet. i can go on and on about the challenges that existed. today is significant. the work we have been able to do and this happened when supervisor now board of equalization member was on the committee. they worked together to make sure we addressed those challenges by investing in this community and not displacing this community, which was so critical to the success of this project. i am reminded of the thing mayor lee used to say. it is not about new promises, it

is about old promises. today after years afternoon years and years of struggle we are fulfilling an old promise. one building at a time, one family at a time, joyce. we are doing it. we are changing the face of public housing, not the people but just how these places look, how they feel so that people can live in dignity. some of you know i have been on a mission to make sure we build more affordable housing in san francisco. part of the work along with supervisor walton are duing. when there is extra money we carve out money for public housing to address the conditions that continue to exist all over the city. a couple days ago we introduced a $500 million bond including $150 million for public housing.

(applause). we also know that in order to make sure that communities are able to afford to live in the communities as we build more housing, neighborhood preference is a critical tool to making sure that as your kids grow they have a shot of being able to live in the community they were born and raised in. we know there is to much work to do. today is an incredible start at a great future in this community. i am looking forward to breaking ground on more buildings. i am looking forward to moving faster and getting red of the red tape that makes it difficult to build 100% affordable housing in the city. look out for the charter amendment to allow for 100% affordable future housing projects to be built as a right. no more delays, no denials, let's build it and build it now.

[applause.] this is honestly a dream come true for me because as i said when i think about my own childhood and growing up and living in public housing for over 20 years of my life, i think about my grandmother and the conditions we suffer through, my family, my friends not with us today and the conditions that we suffered through, and i am so hopeful because now as a result of this work that so many of you contributed to making this dream a reality the next generation of young people in public housing will have a completely different experience. that gets me excited. i want to thank the community for their patience, delays don't mean denials in this case. i want to thank bridge housing for their work to wells fargo to

the mayor's office of housing and hope sf and the leaders who continue to fight to make sure so many places in san francisco especially out east which supervisor cohen knows the battles and now supervisor who is taking this over will be there with everything to make the changesness so that communities can live in dignity throughout the city and county of san francisco. thank you so much. [applause.] >> thank you, madam mayor. i have a dirty secret. downtown in city hall not everyone cares about potrero hill, lets be real.

having served under multiple mayors. this mayor come in a short period prioritized hundreds of millions of dollars for public housing. i want you to give her a proper thank you to mayor london breed for all of the support to this community. [applause.] thank you. thank you. she is not shy. as mayor breed mentioned, this is all about the residents. i have the highest honor to introduce a resident who has lived in this community a decade and who now calls 1101 connecticut home, mr. johnny ledbetter. >> thank you.

first, i would like to thank everyone for coming out and i am one of those promised. god is first in my life and my world. i am johnny ledbetter, a san francisco housing authority. i just transitioned to bridge housing. i want to tell you how i got here. i was a single father raising my daughter, homeless, living in the shelter in 2010. i got a phone call from san francisco housing that said i was approved. i was overwhelmed with joy but scared at the same time. also because i had never had my

own apartment. being a sick el father raising a -- single father raising a daughter is challenging. being homeless is worst. through my challenges and being blessed with housing i have built a strong solid community with my neighbors and with san francisco housing authority and staff. also with other organizations such as public housing association, and this i never had before. also, i am blessed to seek employment or keep a job. i had again been blessed to work with a nonprofit organization that helps residents from san francisco housing authority

transfer over to bridge. i would like to thank mattie, elizabeth, for guidance through the trying but fulfilling time especially as i glare out my window. that is a blessing. my new spot in my new 1101 connecticut street, you know. i want to thank everyone and you, too, mayor london breed, for your effort. thank you. i am that promise. [applause.] >> thank you so much. next we are going to bring up a community leader, fighter the

supervisor of district 10. mr. walton. >> good morning potrero hill. we are energetic. this is important. good morning, potrero hill. there we go. this is very personal to me. missouri and turner terrace. 1720, 25th street. all of those potrero hill addresses are very personal to me. the first address is a family resource center where i became the director in the early 2000s where we worked to provide services for families to make sure basic needs were met,

where we had a food pantry that served over 100 residents every week with the grandparents group here. i see eddy here, joyce is here, i see a community of folks that worked hard to serve the community. the second was the address of the food pantry where so many families. as you know we don't have grocery stores in close proximity in the southeast sector where so many families access quality food from the food bank so they were able to get through the week to support their families and feed them and provide nutritious meals. we focused on making that happen. the third address 1720 25th street is where i lived at a young age with my aunt, cousin, mother right up the hill.

we rode bikes with no brakes. i would hospital to go to west point where migrate mother and you cancle lived and where i lived as a youth. this is exciting to be here to witness the rebirth, to witness the beautiful homes on this side of potrero hill. i also want to say that i remember having conversations at the family resource center and when bridge first started bringing on community connectors and bringing folks in the community and we started having conversation about revitalization of potrero hill, what it was going to look like. like mayor breed said it is a promise. i have had many conversations with residents. nobody believed it was going to

happen. we have our first 75 units at the. i want want to shout out to malia for her hard work not only on this project but for all support for hope sf and everything we are doing with public housing in san francisco. her dedication, work to get the financing to blink the community together is very important in this fight as we continue to do everything we need to for our communities. [applause.] i want to end with saying there is more work to be done. we have four communities just on the southeast to make whole. things are not perfect right now, but we are going to continue to work hard to make sure that we do the best job to

bring everything this community needs, not just housing but grocery stores, activities and things for young people to do. things are not perfect. in the words of janet who sung the theme song for the jeffersons. we are moving on up. [applause.] >> leave it to supervisor walton. moving on up. amen. if you look around and see the finishes, the courtyard, the views, the landscaping, this is first class. this is not public housing. this is for our people in potrero hill. it takes a lot of money to do this. it takes investors, funders, folks willing to commit to the

principles of hope sf. the senior vice president of wells fargo investing daniel pearl. >> do i get to wear the hat if he left it here? i am here on behalf of a group in wells fargo called community lending. there is about 200 of us around the country including many in san francisco. i want to start by thanking the long-time residents, leadership council, bridge housing who brought us here, mayor's office and the mayor and hope sf for leadership. we provided low income housing equity. we participated in the construction loan and it is an honor to invest in the community. we are lucky to be part of the

hunters view and made the tax credit investments in the bay you and other neighborhoods in the city. one personal connection for me. i moved to the bay area about 11 years ago and i had a friend at that time working at bridge housing. he knew i didn't know many people and i had time on saturdayen. he said we just started working on this development out here and having a barbecue would you come? i didn't know what bus to take now, i know it is 19. i spent the afternoon here. little did i know that 11 years later i would be here. we are ready for phase two and thank you to everyone who made this place what it is today. thank you very much. [applause.] >> thank you, daniel. you passed the pest. my also daughter is the only one

>> 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.
