recommendation. >> vice president sanchez. >> thank you for coming out to speak tonight. mr. davis would you like to respond to any of the remarks? a number of the speakers were essentially saying that insufficiencies were not there. i don't know if you have any response. >> we will start with the comprehensive detail of laws enacted. as i said, included in the report are laws applying to high school and not k-5. that was a mistake. however, the point is, as i outlined in the beginning that that requirement is at the top of the requirements for a renewal petition. we ask for it all of the time
6:01 am
and we get it when we ask for it from other petitioners and so do other districts in the bay area. as far as the enrollment at the school, i will just say this. the number of 85 that i mentioned last night in the curriculum committee is 85 in district, ada, and it comes from one purpose's prop 39 request for next year. they say they project 85.46 for this year, and are projecting 102 for next year. perhaps the difference is enrollment versus ada, but i don't think they would havena low of a percentage of ada to enrollment or maybe it is the total enrollment versus in district enrollment.
6:02 am
i can say that is where i got the number from and that came from the prop 39 request. >> thank you for addressing that. that was my next question. i also asked but i don't know if you looked it up about the board's rejection of the initial charter five years ago. >> i did find the minutes of the findings and i did send that to you today. there were two findings. >> the question was why did the board reject the initial charter? >> i am looking at it. do you want me to read it? >> i have it here. >> fact towel finding september 23, 2014 was moved seconded.
6:03 am
anyway the factual finding the charter school presents unsound educational program for the pupils enrolled. one under provisions of lcfs and the petitions are required to state the goals and actions to achieve school wide and by subgroups. the petition lacks specification. it doesn't include use every usf the restorative justice. those were the findings from 2014. >> i have a clarifying question. on the recommendation and the recommendation from the committee. tonight we staff recommended we deny. your committee wanted to go
6:04 am
against that. so it is approving the recommendation to deny the curriculum is approving the recommendation to deny? >> yes. you are talking about the budget? the curriculum committee did the same. >> at the committee there was no recommendation made at the committee only information is provided. the committees make a positive or negative or nonrecommendation to the full board. >> in the past, we came in with a recommendation. understood. a yes vote tonight would be to support the staff recommendation to deny the charter. no vote would be to approve the charter. any other comments or questions from commissioners?

(roll call). >> seven ayes. it is denied. >> section h. other business. the san francisco unified school district and san francisco county office of education balanced scorecard single plan for student achievement. >> do you want to read the recommends to the record? >> the director of state and federal programs roger koss to. >> good evening. the requested action this evening is the board of

6:09 am
>> good evenin good evening, i t to take the full two minutes. you have been here a long time. as executive director i want to thank you for beginning this process with us for gateway middle school's third go around. we are just about to complete our second term of gateway middle school charter, and we are looking forward to and i say that truly the next few months having the opportunity to talk with you about our program, talk with you about the ways we have grown over the last five years and the ways we hope to continue to grow and do better in the next five years. most importantly the ways to partner with you. i appreciate all you do on behalf of the city and kids. it is a tough job. thank you for being here so late.
6:10 am
i will see you soon. thank you. >> my time is not up. tomorrow i am going to send an e-mail to all of you inviting you to visit. i think the most real way to get a sense of the school is to come spend time in the classrooms with kids and teachers. i know you are busy but just be ready it will be in your inbox tomorrow. thank you. >> any board comment on these first readings? unless i hear otherwise from legal council i will refer the policies to the rules committee and resolution to the curriculum and budget committee. section l proposals for immediate action and suspension of rules. none tonight. >> do we have any board members
6:11 am
reports. student assignment and buildings and grounds are all on the docket. there is more. next page. we will start with those. are you ready for budget? go ahead. >> we are going to follow these up. i spoke with commissioner sanchez. we have talked about the weighted student formula and mtsf multi chaired systems of support how we will go through that process. we feel like it is not just a committee conversation, it is full board to approach that. i will work with staff and also talk with you all about how we can calendar that in full board meeting to discuss how to prioritize that process to what you are doing with assignment system.
6:12 am
then additionally we got information that we are experiencing a budget shortfall this year, very serious information. staff can cover that. currently with existing revenue, but we will have to be having some serious conversations with staff that is currently in that process. it will obviously involve the board. to be very specific, it is a projected potential shortfall of about $32 million. that is why we have to be very careful about out of that conversation we wanted to make everyone clear with the fact the budget committee is not going to be comfortable approving new resolution that include expenditures when we haven't looked at how to resource the student formula and other resolutions we have approved and would like to approve. we need to have that
6:13 am
conversation first before we talk about adding expenses to our budget. we just wanted to make that clear for everyone. we look forward. if there is anything positive we are having this budget conversation at the same time as we look at funding schools. it is timely and good opportunity to look at how we are spending money and how we can support the district to get more revenue as well. thanks. >> commissioner norton? >> i have a report on committee from december 3rd. i wanted to add to the budget report mr. collins covered the whole thing. i want to add my perspective in time i have been on the board i have not seen this big of a projected deficit for midyear for the middle of a year. i just want to underscore that we are in a serious situation,
6:14 am
and that positive certification resolution we approved tonight says we can expect positive to be in the positive territory for two years if we take action apmake the midyear cuttings and make the adjustmentsness. no one knows better than the superintendent what it is like to be taken over by the state, and we do not want to experience that. that is what i was going to say. >> yes, i have that. >> i was going to recap the whole meeting from december 3rd, and we have three kind of conceptual ideas that are going to move forward to the community engagement process so they have
6:15 am
varying levels of controlled choice from the most restricted which would be an individual assignment essentially every address would have an attendance area school assigned to it and you would receive an offer to that school. other concepts would be different size zones where you have a small group of schools to choose or larger group of schools with various restrictions and options within those. the purpose of the community engagement process over the nest few months is to get in put from the community and begin to model and evaluate how each of those concepts might help the board reach its policy goals for student assignment. a lot of work still to be done. there is a aggressive schedule
6:16 am
of meetings, and i hope that we can all commit to attend some of those meetings and that we have a board presence at every meeting. it is important for the community to see us there and for us to hear from them. thanks for your continued engagement with this process. >> i had staff address some basic information for folks not at the meeting. >> at the last buildings and grounds meeting we went over the affordable housing development policy, and we had a couple of recommended amendments from commissioner cook and from rsu staff. the recommendations were currently we are asking to build 550 affordable homes, and the recommendation was that this wasn't a set goal and that we
6:17 am
keep it like there is a process to continue to add to that. we have been working on the back end with don and then also sciu staff requested support staff members fall under the union be included in the resolution as well. we have plans in place to meet with them. we also started a dialogue and learning about school bonds and so we are going through a series of those if commissioners are interested in how bonds work, feel free to join the building and grounds meeting. we went through the processes and steps on how to address the needs going on at the school.
6:18 am
>> commissioner lamb. >> at the personnel and labor committee we had an update and overview around emergency credentials for certified staff. part was understanding because of a couple of related to teacher shortage and general as well as decrease in enrollment of credential programs, some programs we had to initiate internally to combat the teacher shortage with our own strategies. we learned about the process around support for emergency teachers, ongoing support for those emergency credentials and really the opportunities how to continue supporting our teacher pipeline programs to put those teachers on those emergency credential. the second agenda item, we had very engaged robust public
6:19 am
comment and it was related to getting an update on special education and certified paraeducator staffing. we heard loud and clear about what is happening in the field with special education, the need to continue supporting our paraeducators and certificate teachers at the school sites and really uphill challenges. we heard around caseload and workload and the recommendation from community about the importance that, particularly with this agenda item that it be co-presented between the special education division and with talent acquisition and staffing. we are committed to ensuring that happens for those additional teac teacher presents
6:20 am
with the program divisions. i think we have a long way to go, and from the recommendation from the committee, i expressed the importance of making sure we have those realtime updates because it is continued to be a consistent issue that we have heard from the field and from our staff at the school sites.

6:35 am
units. this is a discussion item. madam director? >> thank you. the item before you is to give an update on mission bay, especially the success that we have seen. this is one of our oldest of the three projects within our portfolio and it is over 21 years ago the city executed the redevelopment plan and the owner 's participation agreement were two thirds of the way that is complete except for a few infrastructure closeout items that we are working on. mission bay south is almost there. it has both the residential and the commercial, as well as the arena. what we were trying to do is give an update on to where we are in the successes we have seen and what is to come in the coming year before you next spring.
6:36 am
you will have a few action items that would require plan amendments and design document amendments. i just wanted to give you an overview so your input can do form -- inform next steps. we are excited to do that today and the mission bay project manager will be presenting on this item. we have some representatives here from the team. >> okay. good afternoon. i am the project manager for mission bay and i'm here for a workshop on mission bay. we will talk about where we have been and what we have been doing for the last 21 years and what we plan to do for the next nine. in 1998, to create a vibrant and transit-oriented mixed-use community, the mission bay north and south project areas were created. the regulatory and gradual
6:37 am
framework was established with redevelopment plans, design for development documents and owner participation agreements. the development corporation where the original owners of this land and the original developers. in 2004 they sold the development to fossil which is an entity of fairmont capital, and currently their developer is mission bay development crew. this project is 303 acres. includes 41 acres of open space, 4,000 linear feet of streets. there will be 6,514 units of housing when all is said and done, of which 29% will be affordable housing. for commercial there will be 5 million square feet. for office, lab, and clinical use, 560,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail, and event center, for ucsf there is
6:38 am
a campus where they are provided 43 acres. they will be building the .6 million square feet of developments. 550 bed hospital complex, 250 room hotel, a public library in public safety building with fire and police stations, and public schools. a little bit of context here in the map, north of mission creek is mission bay north project area. this is residential and commercial. to the south is mission bay south project area. the residential area is in the northern portion and the commercial is in the southern portion. in the center, the ucsf campus that i spoke about is located there. also in the previous slide we talked about 40,000 linear feet. that is about seven and a half miles of new roads and streets. you can see where they started to put the grid together. in addition to the streets, there's all the infrastructure beneath the streets. all the sewers and water lines
6:39 am
and powerlines and cable. i am happy to say, except for a small sliver of mission bay north, all the roads are complete and open and soon to be accepted. here we have mission bay in 1998 a small warehouse -- small warehouses and a golf ranch. by 2007, it is starting to get built. the residential portions are starting to build out. the ucsf campus had begun construction. you can see alexandra real estate was being built. towards the water, old navy that located their headquarters there now we have here, we are current with 2015. incredibly built out in the chase center is prominent. ucsf hospital is in the foreground.
6:40 am
twenty years later, mission bay north is fully built out. all 15 projects, including 2,964 units, have been built and included in that is 698 units of affordable housing. they are four mixed income projects that have 1194 units of market rate housing and 93 b.m.r. units. there are also four standalone affordable housing projects that includes a senior project, two family rentals, and first-time homeownership. mission bay north has provided 66.8 million dollars in subsidies for affordable housing in mission bay south, we have completed 2,825 of the 3,550 units of housing. all 10 market rate projects have been built in three affordable housing units. there are two projects currently under construction. both our family rentals, but one
6:41 am
has a component for formerly homeless veterans. there's also two projects that are in free development. one is in supportive housing and one will be for first-time homebuyers. there will be 173 units in entitlement left after the projects we just spoke about. you are -- we are assuming in mid to late 2020 there will be an r.f.p. to develop those units two date, we have provided $130.6 million in subsidies to provide affordable housing. ucsf's campus was originally conceived for things to be a catalyst to bring biotech to mission bay. currently ucsf is developed to point to out of the 3.6 million square feet of developments. it has worked as a great catalyst to bring biotech to the mission bay. office labs and clinical space
6:42 am
has been built, as well as the event center and a 289 bed hospital at ucsf. there are lists of different companies that are residing and have built and developed mission bay. there is also 540,000 square feet of neighborhood and local retail. there's about 108 spaces. sometimes the combined spaces accommodate one retailer. we have full-service grocery stores in both mission bay north and south, pharmacies, restaurants, fitness studios, financial services, medical services, only one bowling alley , so you have to go to mission bay north for that, but a lot of other shops. it is very well received. also, currently under construction is 250 room hotel that should be open in fall of
6:43 am
2020. we build a public safety building for san francisco which also includes the local fire and police stations. there is family house which is a home away from home for families whose children are receiving cancer and other critical medical services at children's hospital. this is a 80 room facility that has been created for these families to stay free of charge. we also have a public library and a childcare facility that exists that is under construction. here is the amenities map that we usually bring whenever we have a project in mission bay. we like to show you this. and the four years i have been here, this map has exploded. there are so few other amenities that existed. it is a great example of how mission bay has been growing in the last four years, let alone 21 years. i think the biggest amenity that is being provided is the open space. at the end of the day, there will be 41 acres of new parks and open space provided to the
6:44 am
community. so far we have built 15 parks totaling 23 acres of open space and we have two that are under construction totaling 7 acres. the largest one is in the bayfront park which is right along the bay across from the chase center which is 5 acres. throughout the past 21 years, there has been a strong developer commitment and partnership for the program and the economic development. $3 billion in projects have been overseen. of that, $770 million have gone towards small business enterprises. for professional services, 50 4% have been small business enterprises. and of that, 92 are basing san francisco. there have been 10 million construction hours performed in mission bay and 2.1 million of those have been performed by san francisco residents. in total, $100 million in
6:45 am
prevailing wages have been provided to san francisco residents for mission bay. this is what we've accomplished so far. we have more work we are looking forward to doing. this map here shows the sites that have not been developed and construction has not been done. the four affordable housing sights that we look forward to building on, there is a school sight mac, there is nine more partial open spaces to build and the ucsf campus has several parcels inside the original camd additionally throughout the years, ucsf has bought additional land south still within the mission bay project area, but on top of that. so they -- that is where the hospital currently exists and they plan to build more. also there is new potential for development. in blocks 29 through 32 end blocks 31 through 43, parcel seven. on blocks 21 through 32, that is
6:46 am
the current warriors arena. in the northeast corner, they are wishing to build hotel and residential project. on block 41 through 43, parcel seven, at alexandria real estate is looking to develop a commercial building for life sciences. here you have a rendering of the proposed hotel and residential building that the warriors are proposing. the hotel will be on the bottom and the tower for the residential units. there will be 129 rooms that will have a ballroom, café his, and for residential, there will be 21 units. on blocks 21 through 32, is currently not zoned for a hotel or residential, so they will have to seek entitlements and plan amendments to build a hotel and build rooms, also the current area, the height is
6:47 am
restricted to 90 feet. for their tower they will be asking for an amendment to build up to 160. alexandria's project is located near the freeway. here is a rendering of it. currently that parcel is restricted in height to the height of the freeway. alexandria will be requesting approvals to build a tower. as we discussed, everything is built out so they will be asking for additional entitlements to build approximately 200,000 gross square foot building. the upcoming actions that will be coming before you in the third or fourth quarter of this fiscal year for these two projects will be seeking redevelopment plan amendments to create new entitlements and the
6:48 am
participation agreement amendments designed for the height and bulk, basic concept and schematic design approvals, major face amendments and e.i.r. addendum his -- addendum his. other new develop it through looking at is a creating additional affordable housing. so far we have maximized the density in order to create more affordable housing now and get it out there. it is desperately needed. by doing that, we have -- we are finding that there is not enough existing entitlement for the lots that we will have remaining see here we are assuming that half of parcel 12 left, which is approximately eight tenths of an acre, and parcel four east which is a little over an acre. both are designated affordable housing sites but we will not have entitlement left to build on them. staff is diligently looking to see what we can do there with
6:49 am
different types of housing, height, density and all different ways to come before you in the coming year with recommendations. in the future, things will be bringing before the commission and the risk of physical 19-20 and in the third quarter is there will be a gap for block nine a and that is the supportive housing for formerly homeless. that is block nine. for block 980, first-time homebuyer's project we will have an exclusive negotiating agreement and loan. and we will be coming before you with the hotel and the life science project. there are some people here. and community members. i think that is all that is here
6:50 am
any questions? >> madam secretary, do you have any speaker cards? >> we have oscar james. >> good afternoon, commissioners and community and peoples in the audience. my name is oscar james. i'm a native resident. also i served that as a commissioner for the model city 's period that was responsible for a lot of that property that has now been undergoing for mission bay. by the fourth and, in the fifties, that used to be a train spear before anyone came out to our community and nobody wanted to come out there. that was a train. during the earlier years when they first laid people off in the shipyard in the fifties, a
6:51 am
lot of those peoples who were homeless stayed in those cars down there. so what i'm asking for is for housing to go through a certificate of preference and persons from that area and the other areas that is part of the bayview hunter his point community, and i would like for any development that transpires down there to make sure they have below below market rate housing for some of those who cannot afford the exorbitant rates that rent is going for now in the city and county of san francisco. i also appreciate and really supports the warriors for wanting to build a hotel down in that area. i am glad they came back home even though they have been losing lately, but they will start winning because that's what happens when a team starts
6:52 am
getting new players and what have you and people are on the roster. i say ditto to the warriors. whatever they want to do. pass it because there have -- they have been a blessing to the city and county of san francisco they get into the community and help people in our community. i haven't benefited personally, by the community has benefited and it is not about us. it is about the community. kudos to the warriors. keep doing a good job. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> jim donnelly. >> members of the committee, thank you for your time and your work. my name is jim and i'm a resident owner in mission bay and i really have a question about block 12 west and i thank
6:53 am
you said that there was no entitlements left to even build anything. is that what you said? >> the question needs to be to us. >> i'm sorry. >> that's okay. the question is for the development. 412 west, what is the total number of entitlements there that they have and what's the number of entitlements that they are going to be asking for versus the original plan? the original plan had below market right for five stories. there so many units. i think those were the two. okay. >> thank you. >> sarah bertram?
6:54 am
>> good afternoon. thank you for your work and thank you for your participation i have been a resident for almost 10 years. i have a small family. i just wanted to underscore what mar was saying about how important the open space is in mission bay. i work with a group of community members on working with the school district on the school plan and also an alternate on the mission bay area. i'm doing what i can to support the development of the neighborhood. it has been amazing. but on the topic of open space in the athletic field in particular, the comment i wanted to share is that the members of the community are really interested in understanding the impact of a potential higher building on the shade for the athletic field. i think we can all appreciate that that could materially
6:55 am
change the experience for community members if it was materially shaded there during afterschool hours or something like that. >> thank you. >> no more speaker cards. >> does anybody else see need a motion to speak on this item? seeing then, i will close public comment and change my fellow commissioners for questions or comments. >> i have no questions, just to comment on the presentation and the information in and out of that area. i am impressed, i have been impressed, and i continue to be impressed with what is flourishing and the things that it is providing, the joy, the farmers' market now, all of this that is coming forward, it is adding so much to this city. thank you so far for all that you are doing.

>> i have a few questions. thank you for the presentation. it is nice to have it packaged in terms of where we came from and where we are and where we are hoping to go. a couple of questions on the hotel, the proposed hotel. there is a hotel under construction now, the 250 rooms, and then i wanted to see the capacity of this one again. >> 129 rooms. >> and i am assuming, it is being proposed. i am assuming we will talk more about the specifics, but if it is being proposed, there is obviously a market for hotels in this area. >> yeah, the warriors are represented. there is definitely a demand. in this hotel, there will be one floor that is extra tall. >> i see. okay.

that makes sense. on the school, we have been talking about the school. i have been long enough on the commission since its inception that when we received reports where mission bay was not originally considered to be a child friendly or child oriented type of development initially and then that change and then there is a bunch of kids. now we have filed -- five childcare centers or four or? have a lot of them. >> we have one in the north and two will be cleaned up in the south. there is one individual childcare within the residential units. >> i do remember we went from run projection of no kids and now a lot of kids. the school -- i am interested in understanding how quickly they will come online. >> their goal is 2025 to come
6:58 am
online. i know they are in discussions with -- currently it is inside the ucsf properties with transferring it to them. they are hoping to have an environmental contract lined up by the end of this month so by next summer they will have an environmental report. they are moving forward in their goal is 2025 when they last reported out to us. we are in communication with them. >> if we are building a school for kids, if they can actually go to the school. i am not casting any aspersions on the school district. that is an interest there. and on a related thing, on kids, i think i read in yesterday's chronicle, and maybe i don't have the source, but that supervisor haney made a point, and something i just read that
6:59 am
there had been parks or open space that had been -- access had been limited. i don't know if that is an accurate presentation, but there were parks that were available and they were beautiful and there was some fencing and blockage in terms of access. his office was able to cut through -- >> getting the parks accepted so they can be open. >> by the city? >> by the city. >> the parks are built and the grass is rolled out and looks beautiful and ready but the park isn't complete. it is still fenced. it will take a while for one to be complete and there is a legislative process before the city can accept it. supervisor haney was very helpful in getting this done. >> doesn't naturally go to the recreation and park department?
7:00 am
>> they have a 45 year master lease for all of the open space. if you are owned by the city or by the port, then we will be responsible for it. everyone pays into it in mission bay. and we have the funds to maintain the open space and we hire a third-party management firm to manage the parts for us. >> for my own curiosity, the retail, the amenities map, you are right, over the years that i have been on the commission, it has gone from not as many offerings to a lot to know. i was impressed with a note on slide 13 that was 108 retail spaces which is pretty impressive. is there any insight you can give us regarding white mission bay has been as sucss
