12:15 pm
the potential exemptions. a project of this size with affordable housing and clinics. i think it would have been more consult with out that exception. thank you. >> any other speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, any comments or questions? so i want to thank actually the department for coming forward beforehand to give us a briefing or give me and be my staff a briefing on the whole thing. i think that when we deal with numbers of $74 million, it is very daunting. i want to thank you for spending the time to go through every item one by one and actually what the fiscal consequences or costs are.
12:16 pm
thank you very much. no comments or questions from my colleagues. bla recommends approval. i would like to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. we can take that without objection. thank you very much. madam clerk, please read items 15 and 16 together. >> item 15 ordinance appropriating $83,600,000 of certificates of participation to the mayor's office for housing and community development to fund project costs of hope sf. item 16 authorizing certificates of participation in one or more series on a tax-exempt and/or tax annual basis at $83,600,000

to finance and refinance certain capital improvement projects. >> good afternoon. i am the director of public housing initiatives. i am pleased to present for your approval these two ordinances authorizing the city to issue certificates of participation to generate $53.6 million in new funding for three of the four hope sf projects. hope sf is the nation's first large scale community development initiative aimed at creating vibrant mixed income neighborhoods without mass displacement of original low income communities of color. this bond authority will support projects breaking ground later this year and in 2020 including infrastructure, replacement of public housing units and net new affordable housing units at all
12:18 pm
three sites. we are excited all three sites will be actively under construct. sunnydale block six breaks ground in december. that item was at the committee a few weeks ago. potrero and hunters view in the fall of 2020 and the vertical or housing portions will follow with construction start of six to nine months later. the hope sf initiative addresses decades of disinvestment from the communities in southeast sector of our city and as a result our hope sf projects offer additional amenities and features that go on and beyond the typical affordable housing projects and sometimes result in higher per unit costs as well. most notably on the projects we are talking about today, we are
12:19 pm
seeing a lot of funds spent on infrastructure. at su sunnydale the city is contributing $28 million for infrastructure. at hunter's view about $30 million. at potrero $32 million. the way we try to support the projects despite these big expenditures is we assign a portion to the housing projects to allow us to leverage outside sources remains very expensive. other upgrades that we provide include parking and also larger units. we provide more bedrooms at these projects to ensure all of our public housing tenants are rehoused. the bonds before you are sized based on the economic activity that will be generated by market rate projects at all three hope sf sites.
12:20 pm
these are all in predevelopment which is exciting. we expect to break ground on hunters view market rate project first one in the second quarter of 2020. that is an exciting milestone for us. please let me know if you have questions about the hope sf presentation, and my colleague from office of public finance will talk to you about the specifics of the bond financing. >> thank you very much. >> hello. office of public finance. two ordinances before you appropriate proceeds and authorize execution and delivery of $83.6 million to finance and refinance capital improvement including hunters view and sunny view as part of hope sf.
12:21 pm
delivering 560 units when completed. they would finance $57 million of projects managed by the mayor's office of housing within from structure. they anticipate that the debt service from the sale is consistent with the capital plan policy general fund debt service at or below 3.25 of general fund discretionary revenue. this would pay the cost of the project of $57 million, approximately $6.7 million for debt service reserve, 16.2 in commercial paper and fees. approximately $1.2 million for dell irrecosts associated with the certificates, also $2.4 million to allow for
12:22 pm
fluctuations. the current plan anticipates the city's paper program and then to be taken out by the certificates when approved enough project costs. office of public finance monitors and we don't fully expect to issue up to the not to exceed amount given the interest rates lower. given fluctuations in the project schedules, higher interest rates when we sell the bonds it built in a conservative contingency to sell the bonds to fund the project. based on interest cost of 6.6% on $86 million the controller estimates over 25 year term of the bonds or $6.7 million per year in debt service. as general fund supported debt
12:23 pm
cops will be paid by the general fund and the city will structure cops as the tax structure between the city and third-party trustee. we anticipate the city on the hospital campus would serve as collateral for the cop. the hospital campus currently secures city's existing cop debt from 2012 as well as what we will close in the next couple of weeks. with the approval they would approve the financing documents including the property leases, trust agreement, notice of sale, continuing disclosure and other documents which is for perspective investors. i am here to answer questions about the financing. >> could we hear from the bla,

12:25 pm
the extra money is for the project cost of $56.9 million. balance is for reserves and financing required. on table two it summarizes the uses of these projects. some goes for infrastructure cost and some for the financing for the housing development. this is within the debt service policy consistent with other approvals for hope sf and we recommend approval. >> any members of the public like to comment on items 16 and 17 -- 15 and 16? >> i was curious about the comparable cost per square foot of similar buildings, nonluxury housing what it goes for to construct? >> public comment is closed. any comments or questions, colleagues? i have been briefed on this so i

12:37 pm
value all these properties? well, to better understand our work, we need to explain the state's proposition 13 law. in 1978, california voters passed proposition 13. under prop 13, we value your property at market value when you first buy it. every year after, that value goes up by the c.p.i. or the california consumer price index. but if the c.p.i. is more than 2%, prop 13 caps the increase at 2%. we'll walk-through the maximum increases prop 13 would allow. let's take a home with initial value of $400,000. in the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2%, growing from $400,000 to $408,000. in year three, that $408,000 is increased by 2% to roughly $416,000. every year, the value grows by
12:38 pm
the maximum rate of 2%, and that is called your prop 13 value. keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. what do we mean by that? let's say over the last ten years, home prices in san francisco have gone every roughly 10% every year. despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2% growth creating a difference between your market value and prop 13 value. know that the value recessed when there's a change in ownership. a change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. maybe through a -- new owner. maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. at that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. that value becomes a new starting point for the property. just like before, the growth continues to be limited at 2% until the next transfer happens. remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at
12:39 pm
the new level from the first day that they own it. value might also be added when construction happens on your property. that would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2%. here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value. every july, we'll let you know what your assessed value is by sending you a letter called a notice of assessed value. you can use that information to estimate your property taxes early. please note that a separate office called the treasurer tax collector's office will send you a letter in october and they're responsible 230r collections. for more information, visit our website, >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san

[♪] >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who
12:43 pm
provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person
12:44 pm
shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded
12:45 pm
entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping
12:46 pm
experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate
12:47 pm
to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at
12:48 pm
this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, socially as possible, broadening that - working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrant and dynamic city that's on the forefront of economic growth, the arts, and social change. our city has always been on the edge of progress and innovation.

after all, we're at the meeting of land and sea. - our city is famous for its iconic scenery, historic designs, and world-class style. it's the birthplace of blue jeans, and where "the rock" holds court over the largest natural harbor on the west coast. - our 28,000 city and county employees play an important role in making san francisco what it is today. - we provide residents and visitors with a wide array of services, such as improving city streets and parks, keeping communities safe, and driving buses and cable cars. - our employees enjoy competitive salaries, as well as generous benefits programs. but most importantly, working for the city and county of san francisco gives employees an opportunity to contribute their ideas, energy, and commitment to shape the city's future. - thank you for considering a career with the city and county of san francisco.

>> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. the assessor's office is a big
12:51 pm
one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. for every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. but i think what most people don't know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. so it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. so this is an incredibly
12:52 pm
important part of what we do in this office. it's an interesting place to be, i have to say. my colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. in my day-to-day life, i don't think about that role, being the only asian american assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of san francisco well. by being the only asian american assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. i hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background.

i grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. when my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. they had very little money, and they didn't know how to speak english very well. they came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i can't imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. so my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. as we grew up, we eventually had a small business. i very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. we went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out.
12:54 pm
it really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing public service the way that i do. one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help
