went to the money to pay for the navigation center, that was in district 9. when that closed down, got a site and money to get a replacement one. that is going above and beyond and fulfilling our duty as leaders in the city to be proactive and solve a problem. but here's -- and we did a great job in the mission for a while. we went from 260 tents down all the way to 30. but now we are once again suffering unbelievable trauma in our city streets. and the city -- the mayor's office, jeff co-sin ski has no solution. i know this because i respond to

dozens of phone calls and e-mails of people complaining they're not feeling safe, that there are fires being lit in tent encampments, that there is needles, human waste, that there are people in mental health crisis. supervisor haney and i passed this so we have a permanent long-term solution to the problem. what is the city is doing is moving people from one corner to the next. i'm glad that some supervisors don't have to deal with those problems, but those of us that do every day, it's not just, you know, a natural phenomenon that all people who are experiencing homelessness feel that the only places that they can go are district 6, 9 and 10 with some in 8 and some in 5. it's a man-made phenomenon. it's the fact that police let things happen that the homeless

department let things happen in certain neighborhoods and don't in others. if we're serious about all being part of the solution in solving this problem, then please don't put that responsibility on three or four supervisors. please stand up and take leadership. just like supervisors walton, haney and i have done for the entire time that we've been at this board of supervisors. i'm sorry, but this -- >> president yee: so -- >> this is not something that i think you can put on just residents in a few neighborhoods when this is an extreme city-wide crisis. >> president yee: supervisor walton. [applause] [cheers and applause] >> supervisor walton: thank you, supervisor yee, ronen and preston for stepping up. i work closely with everybody on this board of supervisors and we all talk about how much we work

towards solutions that we all know are problems in our city. and every one last one of us has admitted we have work to do around addressing mental health. we have work to do around addressing affordability. and we have work to do around addressing homelessness in san francisco. and we know that every district in san francisco has unhoused population. i'm looking at the data right now. every last district could actually use a safe place for our unhoused population to be able to stay. right now in district 10, we have two navigation centers. and we are working on our third one. we have several nav -- not several, we have navigation centers in district 6, district

9, and we have a triage facility now in district 11. so we have a chunk of this board that is working very hard to address the issues that exist across the city when it comes to our unhoused population. we've even worked closely together to have some of our families at sfusd school sites here in san francisco. so there is no way we can all stand by and say we want to do everything we can to address homelessness and provide safe places for unhoused population without everyone stepping up. i know our president has talked about the possibility of navigation centers and shelters in his district. i know supervisor peskin has talked about having a navigation center in his district.

and so all we need is for everyone to step up and look for sites and work together so that we can address this problem in unison, because it is a san francisco issue. it is a regional issue. it is a statewide issue. and surely here in san francisco, we can do what we've always done, and come up with solutions that are best served so that people across the region, across the state can figure this out. and we will be the ones that come up with the best policies to address what exists in our communities. so again i just want to thank cosponsors. i want to thank all of my colleagues because i know in your heart of hearts we can get this done working together. thank you for obliging, president yee. >> president yee: okay. so madame clerk, we're finished with roll call. we're going to move on to public

comment. >> at this time the public may address the entire board up to two minutes on items within the jurisdiction of the board to include the november 5, 2019 and november 12 board meeting minutes and items 30-37 on the adoption without reference to committee. a public comment is not allowed when an item has been previously subject to public comment. direct your remarks to the board as a whole not individual members of the board. people with interpretation will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify. if you would like to display on the overhead projector, just tell sfgovtv. it is a board rule in this chamber, that if you have a feeling one way or another, in support, or against, that you not clap or make audible sounds. if you're in support, just go like that to show your support.

we appreciate that. >> president yee: okay. >> good afternoon, supervisors and president. i'd like to bring to the attention the human service agency taking over mother brown's kitchen. i'm a client and i was a few years back and i just returned to being a client. this agency in bayview is the oldest nonprofit in bayview. and it is operated by women at the top. maybe against women in leadership position. i wish we grew up and accept the fact that women are a power now. quit ragging on them. number two, the v.a. and the united council of human services has a program, that's where i'm now residing. if we could -- if mother browns and united council could get the support it needs, you run this

program and especially i would recommend that the supervisors and the v.a. get together and build a shelter for veterans only. it's deplorable what is happening to our veterans on these streets. so interested in building houses which is a good thing. barack obama left plenty of money for the cities to use to house veterans. why don't you guys get together and really use your heart and your wisdom to don't close mother browns and appoint them as the next navigation center for veterans only. thank you. >> i'm also here making comments about the mother brown and hope house. i'm familiar with the health care system here. i was on gavin's health care

policy committee. kickoff of the obamacare for the bay area. a thing mitch was involved with also. he's down there in l.a. i think we have the resources here in san francisco, both the talent and everything to make the things for the veterans work very well at this organization, with the mother brown and hope health right here. we don't need to go outside of the city to l.a. to have that done. and thank you very much. happy holidays to everybody. >> good afternoon president yee and supervisors. i'm walton.

achieve our dreams, our american dream of being -- receiving adequate and proper education at city college. there is hundreds of classes being cut. and i'm afraid that we might be seeing our students and our teachers at these navigation centers. it's very sad. i know you're doing a great thing for our community, but our teachers may end up there because there are a lot of class being cut, therefore, there is no jobs for them. there is a wall being built up that keeps us away from achieving our education. we need these classes back. we need that funding to be available for all of us to take the classes. our older adults don't have the classes because they're being cut. traditional education is also impacted negatively because the classes are being cut. and not everyone is in a

fortunate situation where they can graduate this semester. there is a lot of classmates because they can't take simple classes like algebra. they have to wait a whole other semester to graduate from high school. this means they're placed at risk. they could end up in the streets. we talk about the amount of homicide in the city. thank you very much.

if your hesitation stems from concern about proper budgeting, worry encouraging independent audit. if your hesitation is from thinking this is a short-term fix, i can tell you we've been working tirelessly on long-term solutions. if new things won't move you, perhaps things previously said may. the important truths are that knowledge is power, that knowledge is safety, and that knowledge is happiness. thomas jefferson. an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. benjamin franklin. knowledge is power, information is liberating, education is the premise of progress in every society, in every family. throughout history limiting knowledge has never been shown to be a good thing. me. just now.

i urge you, supervisors yee, mandelman, stefani, ronen, to publicly sign on and support the emergency funding today before this meeting adjourns. please shows that you invest in classes for the people that have made san francisco the unique and sought-after city that it is. thank you. >> hello. my name is marcos. i'm a student at city college as well. i'm here with the giant stack of petitions addressed to the supervisors that have not signed onto the ordinance yet. yeah. we're urging you to join your colleagues and sign on to this allocation emergency funding. i want to thank supervisor walton for calling for a hearing at the committee. we think that is badly needed. we were never consulted for

these cuts. i think it's important that the record is set straight about that. there was no community involvement in this. we are losing many vital programs for students today and basically, every day, until this issue gets fixed. we're not looking at this as a band-aid. i want to say that a majority of the petitions, basically all of the petitions were gathered in 36 hours, we have another 300 almost online. so as you can tell, people are very, very -- what is the word -- fired up about this i guess. people don't want to lose their education. and people are paying attention to what the supervisors are doing here. we need you to sign on to this ordinance publicly and we're asking you to do so as soon as you can, any means or ways that you can. because we need the city college administration and their board of trustees to know that the city will provide the funding regardless of what the mayor says.

because we know the board has a majority of people that want to see students stay at community college and we need the support of the other supervisors. we're calling on you to sign on to the ordinance because we want the trustees to restore the classes. we'll continue to do it until the last moment, so we expect your support. if it comes at the last moment, we'll still take it. thank you so much. >> i'm a city college student. i'm choosing to put my belief in you. i heard that you re-elected into the board of education in 2008 with the highest number of votes that a superintendent search and brought a divided school together. i believe you bring the pieces of usf together too because you have personal experience. you know what it's like to be a student.

you attended that campus before. so i understand that you can sympathize with how the students need to have a place to learn, to navigate and develop alongside others. but you can also sympathize with the teachers, too, right? because you not only were a k-12 teacher, you're also a community college instructor as well. you know what it's like to teach with care, to have colleagues supporting the school and to help students. and i believe you care about education, because you have a degree in education and served on the board of education, too. the cuts are not inconsequential to you. mostly i believe in you because ocean campus is in your district. since you have gone from being a student to a community college teacher to finally a san francisco supervisor, i believe you won't turn us away. be the cosponsor for the

emergency bridge funding. thank you. >> far all future speakers on this matter, please direct your comments to see board as a whole, not to individual members. also, if you're in support of this issue, there is a board rule you not make any audible noises. instead, use your supportive hands, please. thank you. >> hi, i'm a part-time student taking a full course load. i'm advocating today for the emergency bridge fund for city college of san francisco instead of attending my final exam. in two years i completed 24 classes which is enough to earn an associates degree and i want you to show how it's impossible for the current class cuts. i'm a modern maker. i built my own curriculum from departments, engineering welding machine shop, business, fashion, woodworking, floral design,

making 100. this is steam. science technology engineering mathematics arts makers. these are skills that people create in real products and experiences that make us smile. these are the skills that start companies and manufacture ideas in san francisco. 24 classes, many of them are multilevel classes requiring to develop techniques. chancellor said no programs would be cut. my curriculum would be impossible today of chancellor roach's cuts. of the 24 classes completed, 8 are left. 16 are gone. 6 of 13 teachers are gone out of jobs. this is not a burden of students and teachers. it is pure mismanagement of leadership and the chancellor needs to be held accountable. he says we don't need money, but he means they don't need

classes, students or teachers. i have spent 400 hours this year campaigning against class cuts. every one of these supervisors have seen my efforts through flyers, tweets and protests. i'm asking for the bridge fund so i can stop wasting my time fighting you and returning to my education. the city is pioneering free education in america, removing 5780 seats from classes is not savings we tolerate. we're watching. >> president yee: thank you. [bell ringing] >> hello, i'm esl instructor at city college. and i'm here again to encourage everybody to support the bridge funding. you've heard it from the students. you've been talking about the homelessness problem. we have the homeless in our classes. if you cut these programs, there is no bridge for them to get jobs. the vocational cutting is just a

nightmare. the 90% cut of the older adult education is faith nightmare. that's another vulnerable population that can become homeless. you're a great city, doing great things. you're progressive. keep it up. because public education is in danger. we have to look out for everybody. we're connected with each other. we provide the employees for many of the jobs here in the hotel, the culinary business. we also -- we deserve to be treated with respect. the students, the teachers. they've got e-mails and working for the colleges 25 years. the fashion department walks in. oh my god, they just told us we're gone, we're gone. and it's not okay. so you do need to have a hearing. we do want accountability. we should have a comp troller. we want to be sustainable, but we want to be here for everybody. we're going to kill our

vulnerable population if you make these cuts. it's sickening. and i saw those students when we brought those papers. in minutes, they're like, sign it, sign it. they said city college is our home. we love city college. that's the place for them. we want to work with the city on this. so please support it. >> hello supervisors. i came at the last meeting. i'm an emergency department nurse at san francisco general. and i am also a shop steward for cisu1021 for nurses. so i was a little star struck last night and i met a few amazing supervisors at a get together at our party with a little wine in my system. and i just wanted to say that i'm really excited i got to meet some of new person.

and the reason why i'm actually here to talk is not to ask you to do anything right now, but i do want to bring to light that i am learning how to be an organizer. we have 2000+ nurses in just san francisco general alone -- well, in dph. and i know that dph takes up more than a third of our budget in san francisco. and i think we need to start addressing this as a crisis, as a team. and so i'm hoping that we can organize like we're doing with our departments, the nurses and ancillary staff and actually have all you supervisors join forces with us as as well. and hear our staff's cry for help and work together and try to address what is going on. so i have some pins for --

staffing now. if you don't mind, i want to hand you a few. if that's okay. that's it. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, my name is julie. i also work in the e.r. i was here last week. anyhow, on top of what krista was saying, part of the reason we're here, there is a resolution from the resident positions that we've started to combine forces with. and hope that everybody can jump on that. but it is imperative, i think, to put it lightly, for us all -- like she said -- we're working with all the different people we work with. sometimes we don't all get along, but we're in a crisis that many other departments are in, but we also the department of public health. and if you don't have your health, you don't have very

much. and we take up a lot of the budget. and there is issues there that could be streamlined with staff input. but we just really hope and just really beg that you guys could all get together. i'm not even sure how this things works, but we could all get together and have a unanimous board of supervisors to help support d.p.h. would be really cool. oh, yes, we'll be bringing information by, little christmas gifts about things that are going on. the numbers. it's tragic. i had a patient in the e.r. for 25 hours in a gurney. it's horrible not to be able to do better. we've always been kind a mess, but we've done better. we can do better again. >> president yee: next speaker.

>> good evening. what i want to say is it's about pipeline relationships. that means relationships with your local people. relationships with your local organizations. and relationships with your local politicians. i'm not here for the division. you know, i believe in working and having a relationship with city government so we can brainstorm on how to fix these problems. now the answer is right here. come on. it's right here with these people right here. these people have not all the answers, but a lot of the answers. this man right here is connected to the buddhist community. that's diversity. right? my man here is from africa. and he's so innovative, i'm going to brainstorm with him,

all his beautiful ideas. >> next to new york. >> no, no, no. only got so much time. supervisor ronen, i know we ain't supposed to address people specifically, but to show how we all connected, you and me have history whether you know it or not. i worked with your husband, francisco, in getting african immigrant, his immigration. this man right here is from africa. he called me his son. ain't no telling what he can do. what skills he got. so we need to talk and cross pollenate because there are a lot of programs that could heal. i know bayview, it's underserved. it doesn't have the resources that downtown have per se. with the artwork, the meditation. we need that healing in the community and we need to brings things toward the middle and i

want to be part of the conversation piece. >> happy holidays, everyone. >> thank you. next speaker. thank you. i'd like to put this complaint on -- how does this work? i had to file a complaint with the department of public building inspectors against a nonprofit agency called casa della. who received a $1 million grant from the mayor's office in just the past year -- or late last year. the building is out of clients with the americans with disabilities act. they currently are not compliant with title ii, with

architectural access. program access and communication access. and casa villa serves many women, pregnant, and many of the females have been complaining there is no bathroom accommodations, no handrails. there is no way to enter the building. entering the building with a stroller or anyone with a wheelchair. and there is also no elevator. but the problem is, the planning department approved this building and the building inspector from the american -- the ada department, were not notified. so apparently it seems like departments are not communicating with the mayor's office of disability.

and now they're forced to find a new location. and so this is kind of a burden for our clients. and in some ways, no one is holding anyone accountable to the ada accommodations and they should have never [bell ringing]. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> good evening. i'm from the -- >> could you move the mic closer to you. >> good evening. sorry. thank you. i am currently homeless. i'm from the ivory coast. i heard this evening also from many of you that the city of san francisco is solving homelessness problem. and that concerns me. that's the reason i'm here.

but i reside at mother brown, because it's a shelter. it's really not a shelter, it's a place you can go for food. i heard that yesterday, that there is a company trying to overtake the shelter and that's the reason i'm here tonight. i'm just trying to applied for the mama brown's kitchen to continue to operate, because, first, it helps the city of san francisco. helping the homeless people. and secondly, the most important thing for me is that this lady, mother brown, she has put 45 years in providing housing or food for people. i mean for a lot of people here in san francisco. people that are coming through san francisco. that need some assistance. and i'm currently one of them. so 45 years of really hospitality to people. and for somebody to take over the shelter is good.

but i think that her dream was to help people. and that's the reason why she put the 45 years into it. and so i'm really paying back to see that somebody would take over, so i'm just begging you to give opportunity, a second chance to continue the operation so that she can continue to fulfill her dream. and that's what i'm here for this evening. i'm just pleading for you to give mother a second chance. because i mean, she's there for all of us, helping all the homeless people. and to her dream -- [bell ringing] >> president yee: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is michael williams and for the last 30 years, i

pastored the st. james church in bayview hunters point. i'm a 65-year-old native san franciscan. i've lived in the bayview the last 65 years and bayview district homeowner. as i was waiting in line, i think back in the jurassic period when i used to shine shoes during the shelly administration, can't remember right now. i want to thank you for the opportunity to address this board and to read this prepared statement as well as have it read into this body's official record. i stand here on behalf of the united consular of human services located in the bayview. my presence at city hall is next to infrequent. however, today i applaud the city for the past support of the council. i would also hope that the city's relevant bodies and agencies would see the worth of the council and its services to those less fortunate.

the councillors serve grandly and magnificently as its executive director. under the leadership, the agency has served the helpless, hungry and hopeless. it is known throughout the community that she goes the extra mile when it comes to servicing the agency clients and managing this diverse staff. it is our community's desire she continue to receive the full support of the city government as she sheiks to build on the legacy of the late mother brown, who sustained the council and make it a credible advocate for the marginal residents of the bayview hunters points area. thank you. >> i'm coming today, my name is kristin. some of you may have met me before. i've been in the navigation

centers for several years. i've struggled with homelessness. but my reason for coming in today is to ask for personal help for somebody to underwrite me of getting a subsidy for the mayor public housing. i've been on lotteries and no had follow through and i would like to have permanent housing.

well, then that's it. thank you. >> next speaker. good afternoon. my name is sarah walker, i'm a student pastor at lincoln united sanctuary church where we serve immigrant communities and refugee families. i'm also a member of the right to family campaign. as a student pastor, part of the campaign and my obligation is to evangelize the fact that all human beings have a right to be with their family. that is a right given by god, not by any government or organization. i'm here to talk about item number 191210. i'm here to speak in favor of the resolution that calls for a family visa support system.

since 2012 i worked on our daca ministry and had the privilege to work with thousands of dreamers in assisting them with the application process. we love our dreamers. they are the best of the u.s. and their countries of origin. they're talented hard-working and have tremendous responsibility to provide for their families and raise their own children. they do all this and they continue to be a growing economic political and social force in this country. the stories of nearly a million and a half young people who are daca recipients are varied and complex. yet they all have one thing in common. they live in fear of losing one or both parents to deportation. the right to family campaign and the legislation proposed in the resolution for the family visa program that is before you today, would relieve dreamers and their families of the fear of separation by providing daca protections to all 12 million undocumented, while creating a pathway to citizenship.

a vote in favor by you today would include san francisco in a growing list of municipalities that have passed this resolution, which includes cook county board of commissioners, state of illinois legislature, the houston city council and washington d.c. city council. our campaign will continue to travel the country -- [bell ringing]. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. my name is pastor, lincoln united methodist church and right to family campaign. we're here all the way from chicago today to testify about a national crisis we find ourselves in today and the right to family resolution we brought before you and hope that you vote on item 191270.

i'm a pastor to a congregation of undocumented immigrants and refugees who find themselves under constant threat of deportation or living without a loved one who has already been deported. currently we're providing sanctuary for a mother of six u.s. citizen children, four u.s. citizen grandchildren, and a u.s. citizen spouse. under the obama administration, her case was considered to be the lowest priority for deportation, and was able to live and work without fear of removal so long as she checked in with ice periodically. unfortunately, her first check kin date after the hashtag, not my president inauguration, she was ordered removed in august of 2017. now she lives in sanctuary in my church for over two years. she represents millions of men and women in the same situation. millions of hard-working mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and contributing members

of society who live in the shadows afraid of being away from their families. a resolution you can vote on today and be part of will protect the 12 million men and women by providing daca for all. in the current hateful and polarized climate we live today, this is a way to stop the human rights crisis. please be a part of this. >> my name is sarah. i'm with the san francisco climate emergency coalition. wanted to applaud the -- how to say this, the incentization for not building this natural gas that you have acted so promptly

upon. i want to thank supervisor mandelman and the rest of you. and to remind you that the next thing will be the need for an electric-ready provision is that is requiring that all new buildings that are plumbed for natural gas will be wired for electrician to facilitate the carbonization that is appropriate to the climate emergency that we've heard just the tip of the iceberg described in the deluge which our rain can be expected to start falling and the emergency that you declared in april. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> mr. president. north of market neighborhood activist. i know one person who is most happy with the outcomes of the recent election. that would be shaman, gets to move away from the seat closest

to the podium. you know that, everyone that sat in that seat has come to great success. i think alan cranston started out in that seat. >> president yee: any other public comments? come on up. if there is any other public comments please come up now, otherwise this will be the last speaker. >> president yee: you need help. >> this is better. can you show the image? i guess i'm showing this image because this is a porta-potty in an area, just a few more images,

and i guess what -- i think what my contention is, i'm requesting that the city clean it and just make it of use to the community instead of just coming and just throwing it away, or doing something with it. the area does need porta-potties. they need any type of place where people can put their human waste. and the area had two, now it has one and it has this one. i might be able to get the community to do some support around it, but last time we had this situation -- the last time i had this situation i called for them to just clean it. instead, they just took it away. and now it was back to people using the restroom outside. you know. i think we need some type of

legislation where the community can sponsor a porta-potty and the city will come clean it. i think that's my -- that's my main issue for this. but i also want to talk about the navigation centers. these are the latest reports. and basically, when you look at the exits by choice, the homeless are not wanting the type of navigation centers that you're providing. they want something different. we need to figure it out because unseen bed abandoned and exit by client choice, that's 49%. 49% of the people that are going to the navigation centers are leaving. they're not even [bell ringing] >> president yee: thank you. thank you very much. okay. that's going to be the end of public comment at this point.

madame clerk. let's go back to item number 23 and 24. >> items 23 are amending the planning code, the zoning map and is the development agreement for the flower mart. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, mr. president, and thank you madame clerk. i spoke to this earlier when the items were originally read. and i think given the importance of this, and i apologize and thank you colleagues for indulging me. it's not only me, it's supervisor haney who is a supervisor who presides over this institution in its last two incarnations over 103 years, but it's the entire board of supervisors because this is truly a beloved and cherished

institution in the city and county of san francisco. i think it's important to understand what is before us, a development agreement. so why don't we start with the office of economic and workforce development and while this has been heard in the land use committee -- and i want to thank supervisor haney for hearing this twice, and supervisor safai for hearing this twice, i think it's important that all of us here and the people in city and county hear it. i would like to ask the representative of oewd to come up and give us, as detailed and compressed a presentation on this transaction as she can. and then i have a number of questions both for the department, but more particularly for the deputy city attorney, ms. dietrich, as to the city side, and then i will ask representatives of the

developer, the kill roy corporation to, make commitments. ms. toppier with the indulgence of my president, the floor is yours. hold on, we'll turn the mic on. >> it's ready. >> thank you. good afternoon, president yee and honorable members of the board. thank you for your time this evening. and your attention to this legislation today. economic workforce development. i would like to start by thanking the city attorneys office, especially betsy dietrich, andrew shan for the help during the planning process. thanks to mta. and also bruce johnson and jeremie spitz from d.p.w. who worked with supervisor haney's office to prepare a plan for the enhanced street cleaning

dollars. i would like to thank supervisor peskin's office for their work over the years to ensure the flower mart remains a city jewel and part of what makes san francisco unique. there are three key components i will go through this afternoon. they include the need for two projects scenarios. scenario a which contemplates the flower mart returning to 6th and brandon street after construction is completed. and scenario b where the flower mart elects not to return to 6th and brandon street. the requirements for the developer to secure a site in the event the flower mart elects scenario b. finally, the agreement to prioritize the project's phase, 1b, prop allocation in the fall of 2021. i would like to remind everyone of the amenities approved under the soma plan. as you know, under the central

soma area plan, each of the nonresidential key sites was assigned benefits that the project would be required to achieve to be a comprehensive portfolio of community-wide benefits. the key amenity assigned to the project is the replacement of the wholesale flower mart. the p.d.r. sector is critical to san francisco. companies in the sector serve the needs of local rest and businesses and -- residents and businesses and have high paying jobs and career advancements for people without necessarily requiring they have a four-year degree. they enhance the city's economic diversity and our ability to weather times in economic stress. while this project has anticipated replacing the flower mart on the existing site, this development agreement addresses the possibility for the wholesale flower vendors to select an alternative location for the replacement site.

the need for two scenarios became necessary last year. the flower vendor recognized that the office density along with the infrastructure improvements designed to accommodate increases in bike and pedestrian access, would result in challenges for the vehicle intensive reality of operating a major wholesale flower distribution business. the flower mart is made up of 50 independent small businesses ta are largely family and minority owned. these small operators in turn accommodate 4,000 small and large businesses across all of northern california on a weekly basis. those of these florists, grocers, caterers arrive in large or small trucks, delivery vans or other vehicles where they need to load supplies. they rely on easy circulation and easy access to the warehouse. in order to ensure that san francisco is able to retain and support the continued success of the flower mart, where the

development agreement structure that will allow the vendors to make an election at their sole discretion to return to brandon street or elect an alternative permanent location in scenario b. this will take place in the days following the execution of the agreement. this will allow the flowers vendors the time they need to determine their election. in scenario a, they will be responsible for constructing a temporary facility or another mutually agreeable location. as soon as the first phase of the project is approved, the developer will begin the construction of the site. once the site is ready for responsibility, they're responsible for paying the please relocation cost and moving the vendor. they'll enter into a minimum four-year lease with two one-year options with the puc.

>> supervisor peskin: if we can just go past all these potentials to what is more real and likely. and that which has been discussed in intricate detail over the last many weeks and months and hours. that would probably be most helpful to my colleagues who are all relatively knowledgeable about this. so you -- we just need the last chapter. we don't need the middle of the story. >> so the city has worked with the project sponsor to develop the requirements for the future permanent location. a detailed set of standards is being developed and will be required for the new facility, including the tenant space parking and loading needs. kill roy will not be able to begin construction on the primary project until they have an agreed upon site, constructed the improvements, including the

base parking, to provide a turnkey facility to the flower vendors. under scenario b, they have all of the benefits cited and you scenario a, including the linkage fee of $110 million. an additional 23,000 square foot child care center. and 1,000 square foot community room and robust site programming for neighborhood organizations that will include space for seasonal pop-up flower shops. the city will establish san francisco flower mart legacy business fund by directing a portion of the project's impact fees to a special fund held by the controller's office. these funds are intended to provide a source of stable business to a longstanding san francisco pdr operation to ensure the wholesale flower operation continues to be a resource for the many local florists, individuals who rely on the access to this

longstanding san francisco institution. finally, the development agreement allows the planning commission to prioritize the project's second face allocation for roughly 350,000 square feet in the fall of 2021. this prioritization addresses the fact that unlike other key sites, they will not be able to begin construction until they have relocated the flower market to a permanent home. i have a couple of amendments and i have documents for the clerk. >> supervisor peskin: ms. toppier, through the president, before and we would all love to be in receipt of those moving papers. but as the last thing that you just said, which is there is a priority for prop m in the amount of 350,000 square feet. before we get to that, can you tell us what changes, because there is not a single member of this body, including this

supervisor, who has actually read the changes to the d.a. that are before us. so can you walk us through each and every change in a truncated summarized form that is being made to the d.a., that is before this body. >> okay, i can try. >> good luck. i will start with just the simple one which is the development agreement ordinance has been amended for a typographical error. there are clarifications to the development agreement including establishment of a design review dispute resolution process to guide the build-out of the new flower market facility and that the annual payment of $200,000 in street cleaning funds for 10 years, for a total of $2 million will be paid into a fund designated by the city's controller in consultation with the district supervisor to support pressure washing and steam cleaning of street cleaning efforts in soma as

designated by the district 6 supervisor in consultation with the city's department of public works. there are number of exhibits attached to this agreement that i am updating today that include the legal description of brannan street property. the updated impact fecal consultations, the key allegations under the tri-part agreement. reflected in a post development lease negotiated with the flower market. >> supervisor peskin: that was pretty truncated. so why don't we start with the tri-party agreement which is an agreement between the flower market, the killroy corporation

and the vendors who were 50 in number but represented by a subset of those 50. is there anything that that tri-party agreement as originally stated or subsequently stated -- and maybe this is not a question for you because you're not a party, nor is the city to that, but it's incorporated by reference, that would prevent as i earlier stated, any member, any vendor, from expressing him or herself publicly to petition their government to talk to the press? >> my understanding -- >> supervisor peskin: i'm not asking about the d.a. i'll ask ms. dietrich. >> my understanding of that agreement has been struck and eliminated from the tri-party agreement as of this afternoon. >> has that been executed by the parties? >> it has not been signed by the parties. the parties want to reserve their right, the flower market, would like to reserve the right to sign all documents associated

with the future agreements, including their post development lease and other documents all at once. so they would like to have everything in place and make sure that all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted. they intend to do that prior to second reading. >> supervisor peskin: on behalf of the city attorney's office, is there anything in the moving papers, documents, instrument, including but not limited to, the d.a. that in any way prevents any member of the public, including but not limited to, vendors or people associated with them, including their customers who are basically florists from petitioning their government in any way whatsoever? >> city attorney, also known as charles or charlotte. no, there is not any such provision in the development

agreement. that would restrict speech in any way. >> supervisor peskin: and ms. toppier said the tri-party agreement was incorporated by reference in the documents that are actually before this body to approve? did i miss that? >> the key obligations under the tri-party agreement including the specifications for build-out in the improvements under scenario b are in one of the exhibits of the agreement. exhibit d. >> supervisor peskin: okay. so where are the three parties and will all of the three parties testify before this body as to an agreement in concept that has not been executed, that it will in no way abridge the ability for any member of the public, including but not limd
