would indicate. >> all right. public comment on this item. i have a second. >> yes, i second it. >> president breslin: public comment on this item? seeing none. all those in favor. opposed? there are none. unanimous. in favor of the motion. by the way, my neighbor is using something for transportation, called go-go grandmas. and they actually use lyft and über, this organization. but i like the term. [laughter] >> okay. item number 16. >> item 16, review and approve kaiser permanente's multi-region

retiree plan rates and premium contributions presented by mike clark from aon. >> mike clark, aon. our final rate presentation is for the kaiser multistate regional plans. if you turn to page 2, you'll see the total number of covered members, so this is both retirees and dependents, early retirees on the left, medicare on the right. you can see it's not a great abundance of population, but certainly members who appreciate the ability to elect these plans. and you'll also see the 2020 rate change actions, which range anywhere from a reduction of 4.5% to increase of 5.7% among the rate renewals, three regions times two population sets. so in total, a very favorable

rerenewable position by kaiser on these plans for 2020. page 3, just reminds that these plans were introduced in 2018. as an option for retirees living in the regions. page 4, the figures that i just reviewed add up to a 1.2% decrease overall for early retirees across the totality of the three regions and a 3.2 increase for medicare retirees. these are entirely community rated. there is a small population, so no experience plays into the determination of the rates. they're entirely community rated. and as we talked about earlier, the rate cards also include the v.s.p. basic vision premiums and the stability fund charge. pages 5 and 6 are the same reminders as before on the varying levels of employer

contribution and the retiree plans. pages 7 and 8, display the rate card and rate changes for the washington region. similar charge presented on slides 9 and 10 for northwest. and then finally similar charts are presented on 11 and 12 for the hawaii region. so ultimately, the rate cards that i'm asking for approval on today are contained on slides 7 for washington, 9 for northwest, and 11 for hawaii. so with that, on page 13, it is recommended that the health service board approve the kaiser permanente rates and premiums for the multistate regional rates for early retirees and medicare retirees as contained in this presentation for the

washington, northwest and hawaii regions as presented. >> i move that we accept the recommendation. as shown on page 13 of the presentation. >> second that. >> president breslin: any public comment on this item? seeing none, all those in favor? any opposed? it's unanimous in favor of this motion. thank you. >> thank you. well, we are through with the rates and benefit section, so now we are into the regular board meeting matters. so it will be item number 17. >> item 17, reports and updates from contracted health plan representatives, discussion item. >> president breslin: anybody want to come forward from the health plans? okay.

any public comment on this item? all right. we'll move on to -- no public comment. item number 18. >> item 18, opportunity for the public to comment on matters within the board's jurisdiction, again discussion item. >> president breslin: all right. open for anybody to comment on this item in the public. seeing none, item number 19. >> item 19, opportunity to place items within the board's jurisdiction on future agendas, discussion item. >> president breslin: july 11, remember, everyone, we're having a special meeting. and so i hope everyone can attend. with that, if there is no objection, this meeting is adjourned.

trash and erasing graffiti and painting, you all are stewards for san francisco. you are taking care of the city. you all are showing how much you love san francisco and other people when they see you doing what you are doing, they're less likely to drop that trash on the ground and actually take it to the trash can. it does make a difference. so i want to thank all of you and all the community business districts and the people who are out there every single day. i especially want to thank the department of public works and the many thousands of employees because they are out on the streets everyday. downtown street teams and so many other folks trying to keep san francisco clean, green and beautiful. i love our city. i know you all love this city. thank you for showing your love by taking care of san francisco today for this amazing event.

>> i went through a lot of struggles in my life, and i am blessed to be part of this. i am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. ♪ ♪ i am a community ambassador.

we work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. >> what i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. they ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. checking in, you guys. >> wellness check. we walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. you never know. somebody might walk by and they

are laying there for hours. you never know if they are alive. we let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they don't want to call the police on, they don't have to call the police. they can call us. we can direct them to the services they might need. >> we do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. there are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. it is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. when we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. they give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. we take pride. when we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes

you feel good about what you are doing. >> it makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. the stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. >> you can see the community ambassadors. i used to be on the streets. i didn't think i could become a community ambassador. it was too far out there for me to grab, you know. doing this job makes me feel good. because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once there. i am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. i used to be like this, you know.

i have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. it reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now. >> working with kids, they keep you young. they keep you on your tones -- on your toes. >> teaching them, at the same time, us learning from them, everything is fulfilling. >> ready? go. [♪] >> we really wanted to find a

way to support women entrepreneurs in particular in san francisco. it was very important for the mayor, as well as the safety support the dreams that people want to realize, and provide them with an opportunity to receive funding to support improvements for their business so they could grow and thrive in their neighborhoods and in their industry. >> three, two, one! >> because i am one of the consultants for two nonprofits here for entrepreneurship, i knew about the grand through the renaissance entrepreneur center, and through the small business development center. i thought they were going to be perfect candidate because of their strong values in the community. they really give back to the neighborhood. they are from this neighborhood, and they care about the kids in the community here. >> when molly -- molly first told us about the grant because she works with small businesses. she has been a tremendous help for us here. she brought us to the attention of the grand just because a lot

of things here were outdated, and need to be up-to-date and redone totally. >> hands in front. recite the creed. >> my oldest is jt, he is seven, and my youngest is ryan, he is almost six. it instills discipline and the boys, but they show a lot of care. we think it is great. the moves are fantastic. the women both are great teachers. >> what is the next one? >> my son goes to fd k. he has been attending for about two years now. they also have a summer program, and last summer was our first year participating in it. they took the kids everywhere around san francisco. this year, owner talking about placing them in summer camps, all he wanted to do was spend the entire summer with them.

>> he has strong women in his life, so he really appreciates it. i think that carries through and i appreciate the fact that there are more strong women in the world like that. >> i met d'andrea 25 years ago, and we met through our interest in karate. our professor started on cortland years ago, so we grew up here at this location, we out -- he outgrew the space and he moved ten years later. he decided to reopen this location after he moved. initially, i came back to say, hey, because it might have been 15 years since i even put on a uniform. my business partner was here basically by herself, and the person she was supposed to run the studio with said great, you are here, i started new -- nursing school so you can take over. and she said wait, that is not what i am here for i was by myself before -- for a month

before she came through. she was technically here as a secretary, but we insisted, just put on the uniform, and help her teach. i was struggling a little bit. and she has been here. one thing led to another and now we are co-owners. you think a lot more about safety after having children and i wanted to not live in fear so much, and so i just took advantage of the opportunity, and i found it very powerful to hit something, to get some relief, but also having the knowledge one you might be in a situation of how to take care of yourself. >> the self-defence class is a new thing that we are doing. we started with a group of women last year as a trial run to see how it felt. there's a difference between self-defence and doing a karate class. we didn't want them to do an actual karate class. we wanted to learn the

fundamentals of how to defend yourself versus, you know, going through all the forms and techniques that we teaching a karate class and how to break that down. then i was approached by my old high school. one -- once a semester, the kids get to pick an extra curricular activity to take outside of the school walls. my old biology teacher is now the principle. she approached us into doing a self-defence class. the girls have been really proactive and really sweet. they step out of of the comfort zone, but they have been willing to step out and that hasn't been any pushback. it is really great. >> it is respect. you have to learn it. when we first came in, they knew us as those girls. they didn't know who we were. finally, we came enough for them to realize, okay, they are in the business now. it took a while for us to gain that respect from our peers, our male peers. >> since receiving the grant, it

has ignited us even more, and put a fire underneath our butts even more. >> we were doing our summer camp and we are in a movie theatre, and we just finished watching a film and she stepped out to receive a phone call. she came in and she screamed, hey, we got the grant. and i said what? >> martial arts is a passion for us. it is passion driven. there are days where we are dead tired and the kids come and they have the biggest smiles on their faces and it is contagious. >> we have been operating this program for a little over a year all women entrepreneurs. it is an extraordinary benefit for us. we have had the mayor's office investing in our program so we can continue doing this work. it has been so impactful across a diversity of communities throughout the city. >> we hope that we are making some type of impact in these kids' lives outside of just learning karate. having self-confidence, having discipline, learning to know

when it's okay to stand up for yourself versus you just being a bully in school. these are the values we want the kids to take away from this. not just, i learned how to kick and i learned how to punch. we want the kids to have more values when they walk outside of these doors. [♪]

inas far as item 2 supervisor safai's call with your permission take item 3 out of order which will be relatively quick. madame clerk can you please read item 3 out of order and if folks from real estate want to come up get ready. >> clerk: a resolution approving and authorize a master lease agreement as a land bord for the city and the yerba buena lease. >> i'm the director of real

estate. thank you chair peskin i appreciate your courtesy in taking this item out of order. i'm here before you seeking your positive recommendation on a resolution authorizing a master lease of the property generally known as yerba buena gardens bordered generally by market street, 4th street, folsom street and 3rd street which can be seen on the slide up on the display. the agency developed and managed the yerba buena gardens using a block grant or cbg funds and they manage the valuable asset over 40 years. the agency was resolved by law on february 1, 2012 and the

successor or ocii was required to dispose of all the agency's property including the gardens. in may of 2018, the board of supervisors authorized the resolution authorizing the transfer of oci to the city. it occurred june 27 of 2018. the gardens is currently under the jurisdiction of the real estate division which has been managed it on an interim basis until such time as a master tenant composed of community stakeholders and city staff can take over on a long-term basis. the goal was to develop a long-term lease with a master tenant to manage the garden as a single unified asset. under this proposed lease, there is no fiscal impact to the city. its brings us to the master lease before you today.

the tenant under the proposed master lease is a yerba buena garden conservancy with a permanent board to be comprised of eight board members and five representatives right now it's composed of city representatives. the permanent board will take over upon the final approval and execution of the proposed lease. the term runs from the time it's approved to september 1, 2061 or approximately 42 years. the base rent is $1 per year. the tenant is obligated to operate and manage portions of the garden all as set forth in the lease. in addition to managing the leases there are also requires

to manage the property manager which for a long period of time has been mjm. however, the conservancy will have the ability to continue that relationship or seek new property management. if approved by the board today with a positive recommendation this will go before the full board tomorrow for review and approval. if approved the mayor will sign it within 10 days and the lease is anticipated to take effect on or before july 1 in time for the 234u -- the 24th, before the

fiscal year. >> thank you. a couple things quickly. one is on page 2, line 20, you need to put the quotation after the parenthesis in order to properly define that term and on page number -- >> so the resolution? >> commissioner: yes, sir, not the lease. page 2, line 20, move the quotation mark past the parenthesis on the ybdgc

properties. and one other correction on page number 5, line 14, modifications to insert the lease and then i have two policy questions one for my district number six colleague wherein the seven appointees of the city administrator include one individual representing district 6. is are you okay with that supervisor or would you like that to be something that is determined by the district 6 supervisor? >> i had spoken to the city administrator and it would be the district 6 supervisor. what is intended by this

language? representative of the supervisor of the ybdg? >> commissioner: the way it's written is within the authority of the city administrator as written. >> supervisors, i would in the meeting with the city administrator and supervisor n hanney this was to represent the understanding the city administrator would select one city representative on this board in consultation with the board but in consultation. >> commissioner: consultation is missing and provided one city representative will be representative of the

supervisors. i could be representative of the supervisorial district. >> does it comport with your information of our meeting earlier? >> i hadn't followed up the preference but my understanding is it would be an appointment of the supervisor or that the supervisor themselves would be one of the city representatives. it would be my preference we did one of those two things rather than consultation. i don't know what consultation would require. >> deputy city attorney john gibner. >> i'm not sure the supervisor himself or herself could serve

in this capacity under our city structure. whether the board can make an appointment to this position i don't want to say off the top of my head. i can look into it before my next meeting or before the board meeting if you decide to forward this out today and can consult with you supervisor haney on that answer. >> whether the district 6 supervisor or supervisor representing that area at the time because this say very long lease. this isn't about me so much but in the future. whether the supervisor could be the one that makes the appointment or that it could be a board appointment when a supervisor is playing a steering role we still set it up so the board makes the moment with the nomination from the supervisor. i don't know whether we could fit that model into this

particular board but can figure that out in the next day or two and let you know. >> i don't think it's next day or two but next day. >> already. the next one day. >> commissioner: and that would not re-require re-referral. >> the appointment structure will not. >> commissioner: so you will subject to public comment as long as the board has 24 hours and 44 minutes to figure that out. >> i think we can do that. >> commissioner: and my second policy issues, colleagues, is boiler plate language that is often included in and set forth on page 5 and usually in these types of resolutions. but given the length of this $1 lease for approximately 42 years, if do i the math right, it is the provision on page 5 of

line 12 that says the board, which would be this board authorizes the director of board with the city attorney to enter into conditions, amendments or modification to insert lease the director of property determine are in the best interest of the city and do not materially increase the obligations for the city beyond those in the resolution. colleagues, are you comfortable with that for a 42 year lease. we've done various things. we've taken this section out and modified the section. i assume the lessee will never -- leasee will never agree to more than $1 and if they agree to more money it would not materially increase the city's obligations or liabilities out but there's a huge a huge amount

of latitude, no disrespect it gives you and the successors over the next four decades. i want to throw that out to the supervisors whether you and the to modify the boiler plate language. >> before we hear from your colleagues, if i may, can i be heard on the point? >> commissioner: yes, sir. >> this lease is very unique in that we're trying to basically maintain a unique situation from the redevelopment agency where you have a multitude of assets governed as a single hole and worked successfully over the course of 40 years. wa we tried to do with this lease was to make it very durable but also very flexible. and i understand the reluctance

that might be given to delegate such authority to the director of real estate whether it's to myself or my successors but i think the delegation serves a purpose and comes with checks and balances. the checks and balances built in this relationship are threefold and the budget that goes back to the tenant that is one level of board oversight. secondly, there's representatives that will be on the governing body of the conservancy. depending on how we resolve this issue with the district 6 supervisor representation. then lastly, there is the regulation that the city has through the lease itself through the landlord be the person in my position. if we have a situation where we

find the gardens aren't maintained to the high level we expect, we need the flexibility to be able to modify provisions of the lease in order to respond with the parameters set forth in the resolution. i'd make to take away that flexibility to address that issue and be left with either a termination of the lease or remedy for default. i just want to put that on the table for your consideration. >> commissioner: to say to my colleagues and you and your department, look, this is a 123-page lease without dozens of pages of exhibit. i get that relative to the history and support that. maybe the way to deal with this and i'm looking at deputy city senior gibner is to put in language that gives the board the right to re-open.

so if something is going back between a future division of real estate and leasee, the board can have a re-opener. as compared to, mr. gibner, coming back to us for every amendment they want to make this as they want it flexible and durable figuring it over over the next 40 years. >> how do you envision that in practice there's an amendment to the lease the board and leasee are discussing. >> commissioner: there's the amendment proposed and the board would be informed of that amendment and can choose in an a

affirmative action to bring that amendment before the board within a constrained time frame. the same way pursuant to section 311 of the charter the board can weigh in if it chooses to do so. >> the challenge here is that under section 9.118 of the charter, the board has an up or down vote on contracted brought to it by departments.d brought to it by departments.sd brought to it by departments. brought to it by departments. i don't know that's a workable fix maybe that's another one i can get you in the 24 hours and whatever minutes. >> i'm sorry, supervisor safai and members to the public. let's talk about that. let's open this up to members of the public who want to testify. mr. wright, the lease to yerba

buena gardens and if there's more speakers line up to my left, your right. >> this is another example of differential treatment and 100% demonstration of being a hypocrite. you're charge yourselves a dollar a month's rent with the rent as high as it is that's a better deal than twitter and the high tech companies have been getting it. you'll charge yourselves a dollar's month rent. that's preferential treatment. that's a scandalous treatment where immigrant get a brand new tv for $3 a month for first and last month's rent and $3 for a studio apartment stole from the citizens of the united states at $3,000 a month. now, here you are wanting to charge yourselves an a dollar a

month for 42 years? that's disgusting. you got 8,011 homeless people out in the streets of san francisco. a total of 28,200 in the overall bay area and none have enough knock afford to be a tenant in none of the buildings from the mayor's office of housing because you set a requirement to be a building higher than the income of the people of trust funds, requirement funds, social security benefits. then you turn around and want to charge yourselves a dollar a month rent? that's disgusting. furthermore, have you the nerve to take airbnb to support and claim they're contributing to the shortage of housing in san francisco. i make that demonstration in front of that judge. went before airbnb and show you how got undocumented immigrant paying $3 a month for and that

will blow your claim out of the water. you should charge the same you charge everybody else. a dollar a month. >> clerk: thank you, mr. wright. >> commissioner: next speaker. >> threw for the opportunity to -- thank you for the opportunity to speak. i'm the interim executive director for the yerba buena garden conservancy. you'll hear from stakeholders and the strength of this interconnected community. as many are aware over the past many years, there's been an extensive community planning process where the yerba buena businesses and non-profits have worked together with ocii and city department of real estate to develop and plan this long-term vision for
