of our philosophy of working together and working together. >> what's the most rewarding aspect of volunteering for the free farm stand. >> well, we could is a generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away it's giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you it's primitive to be able to give something some basically to someone else. >> now serving number to 49 come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and

[applause] >> the hon. london breed: when i first became mayor last year, i noticed that in the capital plan for the city and county of san francisco, there were no plans for affordable housing, and that was not okay. we made changes, we made adjustments, and we started off

with a $300 million affordable housing bond, and that $300 million has turned into $600 million, the largest affordable housing bond in the history of this city. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: without raising property taxes. we did this in a collaborative way. we did this with the leadership of the president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. we did this with our community partners, including four amazing people who led the community working group consisting of so many stakeholders. folks from labor were at the table. people from the community were at the table. folks from the housing community, from public housing, from all sectors of the

community from this city because when we know we need to do something this big, we need to come together. and yes, it was not easy, but i want to thank everyone because the people at the table were open-minded, provided feedback, fought for what they believe in, and now we are here united to make sure that the voters pat this bond in november november. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you so much to the folks who led this effort, including myrna melgar, tamika moss, malcolm young, and annie chung. because we knew how much money we had, but we also had to make sure that we provided the resources for the things that we needed the most. and as someone who grew up in public housing in this city, there was no way that i was going to allow an affordable

housing bond to happen without providing the kind of support that would help residents of public housing, and i want to thank all of you for being unwaivering in your public support for delivering public housing in san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: this affordable housing bond has something for everyone, including our seniors. and president yee was such a true advocate, not because he's a senior himself, but because -- [laughter]. >> the hon. london breed: i thought you were proud of that, president yee? >> president yee: i am. >> the hon. london breed: but let me tell you, no one does salsa like president yee. but he knew it was important, that fact. you knee it was important that

we do good investments, and that's what we're doing with this bond. in addition to providing senior support, we'll be providing housing for our teachers, for down payment assistance, so there's something for everyone. it was a compromise. and again, i want to thank all those on the working group who came together to help make this possible. but you know what? there's also a need to make sure that these affordable housing units that preservation and the rehabilitation of affordable housing are done with our brothers and sisters of labor. and so i want to thank the labor community, including the leadership of larry mazzola, jr. who sat at the table to make sure that labor was an important part of this effort. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: so many amazing people, so much

incredible work and time went into this effort. thank you to president yee again and all the members of the board of supervisors who are very supportive of this affordable housing bond. as i said, this is the largest affordable housing bond in the history of the city without raising property taxes, and so now, the real work begins. once the board passes this bond and places it on the ballot for november, we're going to be looking to all of you and the voters of san francisco to make sure that we pass this ballot measure. we need at least two thirds of the votes of san franciscans, and so we're going to be working out there and stomping and doing everything we can to get it done, and i'm going to be counting on each and every one of you. thank you all so much for being here today, and now i want to turn the mic over to my partner in this amazing effort, president of the board of supervisors, norman yee.

[applause] >> president yee: thank you very much, mayor breed. this has truly been a partnership. it's almost like a model where we start with another end, and another end, we talked to everybody we could talk to, we figured it out. what is the collaboration that we need? what are the elements that we need? how do we serve all the people in san francisco? whether you're a teacher, whether you're a senior, whether you're someone who lives in public housing, whether you just simply can't make it because of the salary that you're living on, well, i think we've done it. we've done it. it's a start. is this going to answer every question? probably not, but this is going to be a big, big achievement for san francisco for us to put $600 million for affordable housing for our residents.

[applause] >> president yee: i'll tell you this right now. i won't outline what mayor breed -- what she had already outlined. it was a battle. we had to fight, we had to claw, we had to prove our point. this came from labor, it came from everybody. even the middle-income folks to came in and say we need help also, we hear you. we will put something in there for the middle-income, as well as low-income. i am so proud of the process that we -- that we took to get to where we are today. today is going to be a historical vote where the board of supervisors will vote on this bond measure, this measure for housing in san francisco. and then, once we get it on the ballot, it's going to be another historical moment in november, because all of us, all of you will fight for this and make sure that we get 17%,

right? and i can't thank the staff and the supervisors enough for their part because the community weighed in early, and we needed to figure out what are the issues that we needed to address. all my supervisors weighed in on the whole process. i want to thank them personally. almost every one of them. thank you supervisors. give them a hand. [applause] >> president yee: and i really

want to thank their staff who did a lot of work. please join myself, mayor breed up here, labor, and just say to you -- just talk to 20 people, all your neighbors, and say this is the most important thing you can do to help our residents in san francisco. we need affordable housing, yes! we need affordable housing, right? thank you very much. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. thank you, president yee. and as he said, this was a collaborative effort, and i just want to recognize, there's so many people here today. i can't start naming names because you guys will get mad at me if i forget somebody. but i do want to say to the nonprofit housing developers here that work in the community, whether it's tndc, mission housing and others, who continue to provide this much-needed affordable housing, ccdc and others, thank you so much for being here today for your advocacy and affordable

housing in san francisco. thank you to the yimbys in san francisco. it means a lot. now i want to bring up one of the cochairs of the committee to help bring forth this amazing $600 million affordable housing bond. tamika moss spear headed the effort. i remember a couple years back when we discovered we had empty public housing units. we worked with then-mayor ed lee to come up with $200 million to rehabilitate those units. and because of those services, we were able to place 179 formerly homeless families in public housing, and so tamika moss, come on up

[applause] >> thank you so much, mayor breed. good morning! we are here on this momentous occasion to acknowledge the leadership of our mayor and our president of this board of supervisors, mayor breed and president yee. i have had the incredible opportunity of leading one of the working groups with my cochairs, malcolm young, annie chung, and myrna melgar to make sure how the community has a voice in this bond? how do we make sure that every single san franciscan has access to permanent, supportive, affordable housing in their communities? and we have been able to come together and bring folks together around this bond, and i am so honored to be a part of it. this bond, as the mayor said, as the president said, is something for everyone. we have to make sure that the

residents of public housing are supported. we need to make sure that the seniors in our community have a place to age with respect. we have a responsibility to make sure that we take care of our first responders and our teachers. the mayor and the board of supervisors didn't just talk about an affordable housing crisis, they did something about it, and i am so excited to stand with them and support this and get this over the finish line in november. guess what, folks? we have a lot more work to do. this is our first attempt to making sure we have affordable housing in san francisco. we have a lot of work to do. let's get to work. thank you so much. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, tamika. now many of you know this, when we talk about affordable housing, often times when we found in the past in san francisco, you basically make too much for affordable housing

but not enough for market rate in san francisco. a couple years -- well, not even a couple years. maybe two years, we worked with a number of folks to change the affordability rates to level the playing field because i wanted to make sure that teachers and people of our labor community were able to have access to the affordable housing that we build in san francis francisco, to the down payment assistance loans and other things, because that's what makes san francisco a great place is when we have true diversity from various economic levels. so what i'm really excited about in this bond is the amount of support it will provide for affordable housing for middle-income residents. we have here someone who is a beneficiary of the teacher next door program who provides down payment assistance to teachers for the purpose of purchasing housing in san francisco.

with us is a seven-year employee of the san francisco unified school district, and she has been working as an educator in our schools with our kids. and now because of this program, she's going to be within a short walking distance of the school that she works at. and so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome cheryl lu. [applause] >> hello, everyone. thank you for letting me share my story with you today? as mayor breed mentioned, i am an educator, i am a teacher, and i have actually been teaching for 13 years now. eight years of it -- seven, eight years of it was in san francisco, out at star king elementary school, which is out in potrero hill. it's always been my dream to live in the city that i serve and to eventually buy a home.

and because of the down payment assistance loan program and the mayor's office of housing and community and development, i am actually living the impossible san francisco dream right now. as of last week, i closed on a property in san francisco, yeah. [applause] >> pretty exciting, and it all worked out. and as with any buying process, you face a couple of challenges. along the way, we made it happen, and -- there was low inventories when we were looking we were getting out bit. but thank you to the mayor's office of housing and community development and assistance -- down payment assistance loan program, i was able to -- i was able to buy a place, and i'm a

teacher, so it's pretty amazing. so i really do thank the support for what the we can do on the low-income, middle-inco middle-income, teachers, first responders, and the labor industry. if i can do it, and i can live the impossible san francisco dream, many of you can, also. thank you. [applaus [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, cheryl. and our final speaker is someone who grew up in the bayview-hunters point community. she started as a carpenter and is now working as a plumber. she's in fact working at 1950 mission street on that project, and this is why this program was created to make sure that local residents of our city have access to the trades so they could provide the

opportunity to help to build this city and also get good wages in the process. but more importantly, she has a daughter entering college this fall. we are so proud of the work that she's doing to help build the city. and so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome stacey provost. [applause] >> thank you, mayor london breed, for having me. i am a proud member of the pipe fitters and plumbers union local 38. [applause] >> i was born and raised in hunters point, and i began making my living as a cosmetologist. i owned my own business. i opened a hair salon, which i had to close due to rising rent. being a single mother with a daughter going to college, i needed to find a more stable

career. at that point, i had found the city build program. throughout city build, i learned the skills required to be a -- to have a successful construction career. i have benefited from affordable housing which is how i was able to provide and support my daughter during the city build process. after i graduated, i became a carpenter, working for carpenter's union local 22. before having the opportunity and the blessing of joining local 38, which is the plumbers and pipefitters union of san francisco. living here in san francisco in the 94124 has given me the benefit and a stable career to be in and pay rent in san francisco. that's why we need more affordable housing. we need more affordable housing

for all of the reasons stated above. we also need this bond to create union jobs for all unions to build more affordable housing. right now, i'm working for o'brien mechanical in the mission street housing at 1950 mission where we are building 157 100% affordable housing units. [applause] >> so what i'm really trying to say is we need to build this housing so we can support more people like me, more stacey provosts. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, stacey, and thiank you to all the members who came out today. and thank you to all the supervisors who came out today. i know you've got to run back to get back to business.

i know we are all looking for a unanimous vote at the board. right, supervisor mandelman? you heard it from supervisor mandelman and president yee first. we're going to get a unanimous vote and we're going to get it on the ballot. we're going to knock on doors and talk to people so they know how important this is for the future of san francisco. we know we have a number of challenges, and the longer we wait to get this housing built, the more delay it is for so many people we know are struggling in san francisco. yes, sadly, people who are homeless but also people who are living paycheck to paycheck, people who are losing their housing. this is more than just building affordable housing, this is also about preserving our existing affordable housing for the people who are here who are struggling to survive. thank you all so much, and let's get this ballot measure passed! [applause]

>> this neighborhood was lived for approximately 22 years. >> yeah, like 21 years. >> 21 years in this neighborhood. >> in the same house. >> we moved into this neighborhood six months after we got married, actually. just about our whole entire married life has been here in excel. >> the owner came to the house and we wanted to sell the house and we were like, what? we were scared at first. what are we going to do? where are we going to move into? the kids' school? our jobs?

>> my name is maria. i'm a preschool teacher for the san francisco unified school district. >> my name is ronnie and i work in san francisco and i'm a driver from a local electrical company. >> we went through meta first and meta helped us to apply and be ready to get the down payment assistant loan program. that's the program that we used to secure the purchase of our home. it took us a year to get our credit ready to get ready to apply for the loan. >> the whole year we had to wait and wait through the process and then when we got the notice, it's like, we were like thinking that. >> when we found out that we were settling down and we were going to get approved and we were going to go forward, it was just a really -- we felt like we

could breathe. we have four kids and so to find a place even just to rent for a family of six. and two dogs. >> we were going to actually pay more for rent and to own a house. >> it feels good now to have to move. it feels for our children to stay in the neighborhood that they have grown in. they grew up here and they were born here. they know this neighborhood. they don't know anything outside san francisco. >> we really have it. >> we'd love to say thank you to the mayor's office. they opened a door that we thought was not possible to be opened for us. they allowed us to continue to live here. we're raising our family in san francisco and just to be able to continue to be here is the great lesson.

shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services within our neighborhoods, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> my name is ray behr. i am the owner of chief plus. it's a destination specialty foods store, and it's also a corner grocery store, as well. we call it cheese plus because there's a lot of additions in addition to cheese here. from fresh flowers, to wine, past a, chocolate, our dining area and espresso bar. you can have a casual meeting if you want to. it's a real community gathering place. what makes little polk unique, i

think, first of all, it's a great pedestrian street. there's people out and about all day, meeting this neighbor and coming out and supporting the businesses. the businesses here are almost all exclusively independent owned small businesses. it harkens back to supporting local. polk street doesn't look like anywhere u.s.a. it has its own businesses and personality. we have clothing stores to gallerys, to personal service stores, where you can get your hsus repaired, luggage repaired. there's a music studio across the street. it's raily a diverse and unique offering on this really great street. i think san franciscans should shop local as much as they can because they can discover things that they may not be familiar with. again, the marketplace is changing, and, you know, you look at a screen, and you click a mouse, and you order

something, and it shows up, but to have a tangible experience, to be able to come in to taste things, to see things, to smell things, all those things, it's very important that you do so..

for leading with the employee unions. what you have before you is typical, the city has gone through with their unions, we piggybacked on the work they have done. what you would see in front of you is mla's reflecting those negotiations and april will be giving a highlight of those business points as well as some of the provisions that are different from the existing agreement. with that i will turn it over to april to present on this item. >> thank you. good afternoon vice chair rosales, federal commissioners, my name is april ward. today i come before you on behalf's -- on behalf of oci. approving the memorandum of agreement for successor agency staff, bargaining units which

consist of the international federation of professional and technical engineers local 21, the service employees international union local 221. in addition we are seeking approval establishing authority for appointments to positions under classifications with our resolution. to give you a brief history, the existing mla's with the unions cover -- in june 2010 -- 2017. agency commission approved amendments with folks local -- both local 21 at 221. over the last month, ocii held negotiation sessions with both and i'm happy to say we successfully reached a tentative agreement on several changes to

the mla starting with salary and rage -- a wage range of adjustments. staff will receive an 11% increase over the next three years which is comparable to city and county of san francisco employees for local 21 and 221 bargaining units. the schedule is as follows. 3% july 1, 2019. 1% december 282019. 3% the first full pay. of july 2020. .5% december 26, 2020. 3% of the first full pay part of july 21. .5% january 8, 2022. the increase beginning in 2020 are subject to six months delays of projects exceeding 200 million. some classification will receive an additional 1% or .5%

july 2019 and july 2020. these classifications are outlined on the salary chart. going over some -- i am sorry, going over some of our key notes that we have negotiated. all represented employees are eligible to request an extended range that may be 2.5, five, or 7.5%. the proposed moa's have procedures for employees that would like to request extended range. the new language clarifies compensation. the next one is severance. currently the contract offers in the event of a layoff a maximum

of four weeks of severance depending on how many years of service. and now offers one week per year up to 12 weeks. the employee must find a relief of all claims that could arise against ocii and an agreement not to pursue any grievances. in addition, an employee who accepts the severance package, and retires within two years of service must pay the severance back to ocii. these conditions are consistent with the ccsf bargaining units. subcontracting and contracting out. the existing labor agreement has language in regards to contracting work that can be formed by ocii staff. one of the procedures requires notification to the unit to meet and. the new language adds prior to layoffs, they shall reduce our work by contractors. and also allow staff to perform

such work. floating holidays for the existing contract allows for floating holidays for employees. one additional day has been added which gives an account of five floating holidays. this remains consistent with the city and county of san francisco bargaining unit local 21 and 1021. telecommuting. currently telecommuting is only offered to local 21. it is now extended to members of local ten to one. they must meet the terms and conditions with the policy and procedures. workplace awareness. this is a newly added negotiated terms that provides an person group training but is focused on promoting, maintaining workplace awareness.

it will include implicit bias, addressing disparity among the demographic roots based on gender preference or identity. union membership. on june 27, 2018 the united states supreme court ruled in the federation of state, county and municipal employees, i am sorry, that were mandate union fees and public sectors, violated employee rights under the first amendment to the united gates constitution. because of this the bargaining units proposed this limitation steps that now includes the following; they unions were ali reach out to new hires and current employees seeking voluntary membership. they will also be responsible for tracking cancellation of membership. last, they will forward union dues and payment -- to the union

and transfer dues for the employees. ocii human resources department will no and new hire packages or information to a new hire orientation. previous negotiated items before you is paid parental leave. previously we negotiated to add an additional benefit to our existing fmla policy. he consist with the city of san francisco policy and procedures. the mla now has language that has paid parental leave and policies and procedures. one of the highlighted benefits is inclement full use of 12 weeks of baby bonding being guaranteed under the california

family rights act. my last approval request is our salary resolution. the salary resolution you have before you establishes rates of pay for all ocii classifications for represented staff that have been negotiated. this resolution also allows the under presented staff to follow the same rules of the salary ordinance and see salary increases. in addition it also adds that the executive director, his or her designee has the appointment authority for all classifications with the exception of the executive directors classification.

this concludes my presentation. we recommend your approval on the local 21, local 221 on a resolution. last, i would like to thank both bargaining unit negotiation teams. local 21 and local 221 members stand to be recognized. thank you. i am available for any questions you may have. >> thank you. do we have any speaker cards? >> yes, we have two. james susskind. >> good afternoon. my name is jane susskind, assistant development specialist

[roll call] [roll call] >> the next order of business is item 5b authorizing a memorandum of understanding the san francisco office of economic and workforce development to provide

workforce compliant services to the office community investment and infrastructure subject to annual appropriation of funds. action, resolution 12-2019. madam director? >> thank you. this item before you is routine approval, if you recall a few at the last meeting we adopted for the budget, 1920 budget. before you today is the workforce development, and the work they provide for us. they tend to work on all of our related matters. i know we also will have representatives from workforce development as well. >> good afternoon. contracting plan supervisor with ocii.

the commission i before you today. to request oppression -- commission approval into the mou with the office of economic and workforce develop meant for workforce compliant services. a request authorizations for the directive executive each fiscal year to reimburse lew d. as a side note, the reimbursements are for actual oew staff cost that did not have the fiscal year budget. as a background, the ocii implements enforceable obligations for developments admission date, and a point on the shipyard. each of these development obligations require the developers with good faith effort to comply with ocii

workforce program. also a local training hiring for design professionals. a little bit about each of the programs. the construction hiring as been talked about extensively and prior workforce reports. the objective is to hire to the best of the contractor's ability, 50% of the construction hiring by trade and by hour. the current attainment, we will talk more about the attainment in our next semiannual report. overall 25%, 17% participation by other trades. which of note, is that oew d, provide services to us with essentially with staff support.

we were with six oewd staff members for compliance and placement services. certainly oewd does implement our workforce program on a day-to-day basis with respect to contractor compliance for construction workforce. along with what they bring to us, are the services of city build account to be. they do provide recruitment and placement with sponsorship services for ocii working closely with contractors. there are neighborhood access points including base organizations that provide referrals to oewd in terms of workers that are interested in the construction trades. again, to emphasize they do reimburse oewd for staff charges
