most of the developers have chosen to build public art on their property. some have paid fees. over the year we accumulated $1.125 million. back in 1999, there was an m.o.u. between arts commission and agency that approved the design of public art on city property and that would become part of the city's civic art collection. the m.o.u. requires the arts commission develop public art project plan which identifies the art opportunities, scope, budget, selection process and community involvement and timeline. that public art project plan needs to be approved by both ocii and the arts commission.

once an proved it is issued based on the project art plan. the qualification panel reviews applications to make sure they are qualified. m.o.u. requires ocii appoint a representative on the panel and staff recommendation that panelist be chair bustos. there is an artist review panel to review the qualified applicants, select three finalists and recommend the finalist. oci will appoint two representatives. staff recommends that chair bustos and commissioner pfizer be on the panel. >> as we discussed, the 1999

m.o.u. is the arts commission the authority to approve the art design and requires the three finalists present artwork shops for feedback on selecting the final list. it will be part of the civic arts collection. commission will be responsible for long-term repair and they will assist with landscape crews out there. we will helpceen up trash and hose down the artwork. next slide please. in anticipation of entering into the m.o.u. the arts commission created a public art project plan. the conditions of the artwork will be a sculpture or series of

cultures. project plan discussions the artist selection and budget which will be more detail on the following slide. here is a map of mission bay north and side. rp todd is south of mission creek. red dot is where the proposed location of the artwork. here we assumed into rp2 in the design phase. it should begin construction by the end of the year. the artwork will be by the traffic circle. cars, bikes and pedestrians will be able to see this artwork as they travel through. artists will present to all

networks and channels nationwide. there be direct recruitment and the art commission qualin the area in the city of san francisco for the outreach for the sculpture project. focus on attar tests with a meaningful connection to the city and county of san francisco. that will be scored when we review the application. arts commission has a strong record p.2020 there were 10 artists from san francisco and two additional from the bay area. 15 artists were from san francisco with five additional from the bay area. registered local visitors will be given a rating of 10%.

next slide please. they will review the applicant and the panel will the signist to present to the community. the finalists in the art commission will approve that. the budget 1 million $125,000. 20% towards administration. 10% conservation long-term maintenance. 70% to the arts. the daily art cost 10% for contingency, money forsyth work and -- for the site work and installation cost.

call 415-655-0001 and enter access code (187)328-3329. pound pound and then enter star 3 to be placed in the queue. if you are on the phone and would like to provide public comment press star 3 to be placed in the queue. we have somebody here. >> commissioners, i would like to speak on this topic. first thing that i notice was that it is too much. 20% is set aside for administration of this artwork. the way the presentation was

given, it is not clear. the guy was breaking up so we caught a little bit what he was trying to say. something about nothing. when i say that needs assessment hasn't been done, the gentleman was rambling about talking to the arts commission is famous for doing this and that and the other thing. i hope he realizes that is his subjective opinion. first and foremost, this entire mission bay was public trust land. which is never mentioned in your discussion. public trust land belongs to all of california, not only san francisco, all of california. why is this public trust land?

it was given for the santa fe operations, and then by some transfer to the san francisco redevelopment agency, successor agency to redevelopment. now the ocii. we need to have a different concept when it comes to this moneys that are set aside for so-called artwork. we need to set aside the money so that the community benefits. one of the best ways is to have centers, for example, the polnician community. they don't have anything in the

city, a center so that they can celebrate the culture and they have contributed a lot to san francisco, just an example. i represent the first people the ramaytush oholone. what have you given in terms building when this land belongs to them? each square inch was stolen from the ramaytush oholone. we don't have a document that shows it was given to the city of san francisco. they stole it from the ramaytush oholone. some of you know me. i am a straight-shooter. some don't know me but will get to know me. don't pull the wool over our eyes in broad eyes. don't hoodwink us. this art piece of work is very

near an area that is prone to contamination and very dangerous particulates. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. dekosta. any other speakers for this item? >> there are no more speakers for this item. it does not look like we have any other members to speak. >> hearing no further requests to speak, i will close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners for comments or questions they may have. commissioner brackett. >> any comments or questions, commissioner brackett? all right. let's go to commissioner bycer. >> no questions. i will say i am excited about

this project, in particular, and i think the art commission is work that can speak to the history of this community, mission bay as a neighborhood as well as the diversity and representativeness of the neighborhood. we have one of the most diverse neighborhoods in san francisco. i am excited to see this move forward. >> thank you. vice chair rosales. >> i am having a little cutty. sorry about that. i have questions in regards to the public comment information. i would like to hear a little bit about what mission bay has been doing and what this project speaks to get out of this art project. i think it is really incumbent

on us as ocii commission to make sure we represent all communities. i have the concern that our american indians, native and indigenous populations are not represented. i would like to hear from the projector arts commission is that a focus or other ways to infuse that into the art project moving forward? >> yes, susan, director of the public art program. i think that our work previously in the bayview, particularly with the southeast community center and southeast treatment plant with the bayview master power and community engagement

projects we are doing there are representative of the kind of work that we have been doing in the community with these projects. jackie, who is project manager is also working with the project in p.u.c. property working with an artist working deeply with the native-american community there. we have a long history of developing ways in which the artwork and artist have a very direct relationship in representing the community. >> more specifically, is there anything that honors the native-american indigenous population? currently or in the past? >> i think the project that

jackie submitted directly relates to that project. jackie, do you want to talk about that? >> yes, the project she is referring to is for the alameda creek water center. this is under the jurisdiction of the san francisco public utilities commission. this is also secret for the ramaytush oholone tribe. they currently live around that area. from the inception of the project we developed an art selection process that very much works in close partnership with the ramaytush oholone tribe not only representing on the artist review but closely to select the artists in all phases of the design development.

historical presence and also the current presence of the ramaytush oholone people. [indiscernable] >> it is in the east bay. >> excuse me. [indiscernable] >> can you please put yourself on mute, mr. flattery. >> i muted him. >> susan has better institutional knowledge in terms of works in the civic art collection that speak directly to the historical and contemporary presence of american indian and native-americans in the city and county of san francisco. i am not familiar with those projects that represent that

story and history. >> that project is the san francisco that jackie is working on is san francisco public utilities commission. they have property and we are working on it. [indiscernable] for many years they had a project that related to san francisco with the first map but for the layering down to artifacts that were found on themus coney site down to native-american artifacts on the site and a project that related directly to that past. >> susan.

specifically for this particular project there was a major conversation that we did have with the arts commission about looking at local communities. we are hoping that the way the arts commission will be marketing this project that we will be able to get, hopefully, folks from the tribe and other indigenous communities to apply for these opportunities. they will get them extra bonus points which is something we were really asking folks to look at so that we can look at local communities to be able to help for this particular piece do that. >> yes, that's correct. >> thank you so much for that point of clarification. i was trying to get background on what is available now or in the inventory so we are clear. i wanted to make sure we are focused on what is happening in san francisco not east bay. i appreciate much work that has

been in the county and the district. our ocii we are focused here in san francisco. we did want it -- we didn't want a muddling of what we are doing. all communities will be included in the process there. is an tonight for that to happen. thank you for your input and everyone else. thank you. >> thank you. vice chair rosales. >> thank you, chair bustos. >> i am very supportive of this item, and i think that the selection of commissioners bustos and bycer for oci representatives is an excellent one. i enjoyed reading the local business preference component. my main comment back in the day when i was at the general

counsel of san francisco international airport when the airport was embarking and built out what is the then international terminal now just the international terminal over 20 years old. the airport commission entered into a similar collaborative effort with the arts commission, and we had commission representatives on the advisory committee that was an excellent give and take between the two bodies when i saw this framework it reminded me of that. anyone who has flown out of sfo perhaps not during the pandemic but before the international terminal there are murals that were not quite hard sell but a little bit of sell to the airport managers i was part of how murals could take a very commanding presence and not

overwhelm the space and the art commission was right there as 100% partner in those decisions. i have full confidence in this process and with the two commissioners representing the commission's perspective i don't have any concerns whatsoever. i am happy to let commissioner bustos i am happy to move this item. >> i am happy to second. >> thank you, vice chair rosales. >> i want to go back to commissioner brackett's observation about what we need to do for communities and to reiterate that commissioner bycer and i had a commission to enforce that san franciscans have a opportunity to beauty

fithe city through art. thank you for bringing up those points. i love that we are all on the same page when we look at how does our community and other city residents benefit from this opportunity? thank you all. we have a motion by vice chair rosales and second by commissioner brackett. madam secretary, please take roll. >> item 5a. >> commissioner brackett. >> we'll go ba. >> commissioner bycer. >> yes. >> vice chair rosales. >> yes. >> chair bustos. >> yes. >> commissioner brackett. >> yes. >> thank you. mr. chair, the vote is four ayes and one absent. >> thank you. motion carries. >> thank you. we look forward to getting goody

good designs. >> next item. >> authorizing interim uses for the activation of the former transbay temporary terminal site on transbay blocks 2, 3, and 4. approving activation designs authorizing the executive director to execute a revocable permit to enter with east cut landing partners, a delawear statutory public been fit limited liability company to design. implement and manage the authorized interim activation uses. >> in january of this year we acquired the transbay temporary bus terminal in preparation to bring housing retail and open

site. we knew that construction on these projects was still a couple years away we thought proposals through interim authorization through the acp in december. staff now recommends to revokable permit to enter with the east cut landing partners team to bring fort these uses on his site. iran and page from the development services will present this item joined by representative the east cut landing partners team. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. before you today is a request to approve an inter rit activation for the temporary transit site in the redevelopment project area. as executive mentioned. i am the acting development services manager. you will hear miyagi colleague

page and representative of east cut landing partners or eclp proposed operator for the proposed terminal atyvation. today we seek the following actions allowing interim activation of the site. 1, authorization under the transbay redevelopment plan of the proposed interim uses. two. approval of design plans. three. authorization for executive director to enter revocable permit to enter with the activation of the site. as shown here, the temporary terminal site is 3.5 acres bounded by howard, folsom, main and beal streets. connists of blocks 2, 3, 4 in zone one you of the redevelopment plan area ultimately planned for affordable housing, public park

and mixed income housing respectively beginning in 2023. in 2008 the transbay joint powers authority purchased the site improved for trans it is term nat use paving, three buildings and bus terminal and seating. this use ended in late 2019. the site will otherwise be vacant until permanent construction begins. the surrounding community has expressed interest in seeing beneficial interim activation of the site until permit construction starts. in august 2020 you authorized ocii to acquire from tjpa which was completed in january of this year. in response to community interest. we issued request for proposals for temporary activation in december 2020. i will pass on page for discussion of the r.f.p.

process. >> thank you, aaron. good afternoon, commissioners. december 2020 we released r.f.p. for interim activation. it sought team to manage and activation uses pedestrian oriented and community serving. r.f.p. encouraged outreach to residents and other members of the neighborhood. in february 2021ocii received two proposals. first led by park west and second team was partnership consisting of four entities. east cut community business district. street u.s.a. and the park and consulting. ocii convened revaluation panel with representatives from the

office and work force development and transbay citizens advisory. ocii contacted references and scored each team based on the criteria establish understand the r.f.p. the evaluation panel scored eclb higher. it proposed a pro bust program of uses responsible to the r.f.p. and provided thoughtful budget and financing plan. they have a strong outreach plan. i will turn it over to eclp to propose the activation plan. >> thank you, page. good afternoon, commissioners and staff. i will introduce the members of the team present. andrew robinson, executive

we will provide broad and diverse community benefits, and creating activities for businesses to get back on their feet post covid. as you know this was responsible for community feedback on desired uses for the site. over 1,000 responses plus multiple conversations held with stakeholders informed our decisions and led to diverse programming being offered that will provide broad community benefits. look at this in slide 11. when you create zones and similar uses it contemplates pedestrian flow and utilizes existing layout and infrastructure. south end of the site closest to folsom, community zone, moving

north or left fitness and recreation and followed by entertainment. we dedicated flex space to provide overflow capacity, pop up, seasonal and civic events and future programming yet to be considered. over to andrew robinson for the next slides and then the next slide, please. >> thank you for presenting this opportunity to the community to activate this site. i am andrew robinson, executive director of the east cut community benefit district. the activation plan includes food, beverage, vendors with food kiosks, food trucks, beer

operational purposes like in the recreation areas will below profile, low voltage. height lower than the poles on the site now. regarding utilities, unlike typical outdoor activation this has more than ample utilities. we will have an mep mechanical, electrical and plumbing plan for future uses and developing lines for permitting purposes. some design perspectives. this shows while there will be perimeter fencing. it will retain openness and accessibility. that concludes prepared remarks. now back on page. >> thank you.

ocii staff presents the proposed usage to the cac on april 8, 2021. four members voted in support of the permit to enter with eclp. two members abstained from voting due to membership on the board of east cut. eclb coordinated with staff to identify. they are prioritizing small businesses in the east cut boundary for food and retail and working with owners of food trucks and local businesses to collect cookers to identify food truck operators in project areas. it is committed to continuing to work with ocii to formalize the

pound pound. star 3 to be placed in the queue. if you are on the phone and would like to comment on this particular item press star 3 on your touch tone device. we do have a member of the public. i will unmute. >> first and foremost, i would like the presentters to do a needs assessment about the youth in district 6. in the tenderloin. second and foremost, i would like the presenters to get some sort of data from the health department about activities that people congregate because with

covid that we understand is going to be with us for some time. that doesn't mean it is going to deter us from having activities, but we have to be very careful, especially when we focus on our children like i do and not youth. i say this. i have been involved with this project from day one. with all of the raising of money, cracking of the pillars to shutting down the terminal, you know or you should know a lot that we have not addressed quality of life issues. this is a golden opportunity to work on our youth, to provide

transportation so that our youth from all parts of the city can visit at least once a month. that is not too much. this facility that you propose. in the interim participate in the types of activities you are planning. we are talking about people of color. i can see the games you have chosen, and i can see the activities that you have chosen and i can see what you have chosen but i don't see transparency when it comes to people of color. let's not talk about equity, racial equity and all these words. get to the work and be practical. thank you very much.

>> thank you. next caller. >> hi, i am johnson. president of the board of the east cut cvd and member of the. [indiscernable] any conflict of interest there. i want to publicly say i am in support of this. i have lived in the area for 11 years now. when i moved downtown, my expectation was that it would be vibrant, a lot of things to do, and i think, unfortunately, this has not been the case even 11 years down the road. i am extremely excited about the group put together, has been put together to initiate this project, and i think this will finally give us as a neighborhood an opportunity for

activities to do thinks. over the last several years i have been involved with the outreach to the neighborhood. we have had tons of feedback from people on what they want on the site. i think that -- i know that has been taken into consideration and there is strong support to do more things, particularly outside of regular office hours and on the weekends. things were dead for -- have been somewhat dead on the streets for many years. then, of course, covid, hit and made that more difficult. i am excited about this project and the opportunity to open again and definitely all safety precautions will be taken. i think as andrew and others can tell you. i am one of the people quarantining fairly hard. i think safety is of the utmost important. that will be taken into

consideration with this. i think it will be transformative for the neighborhood and i hope you will all approve it. >> thank you. >> mr. chair i do not see any other members wishing to comment on this item. >> hearing no further requests to speak on this item, i which close public comment and turn to fellow commissioners. commissioner bycer. >> thank you, mr. chair. i am excited to see this coming before the commission and the velocity with which the safety is activated as soon as this summer. that is important. i can say i remember when they used to be a commission rock facility that was great to see the space there activated. that is a great use. couple questions.

the mayor and the city have invested in a summer youth program. curious if there has been conversations to make this facility and this space part of that programming? >> i am happy to comment. i will say we have done outreach. for those not aware, we have a large number of families that moved into the neighborhood. markets and affordable housing adjacent to the site. we have begun outreach to understand how many kids live in the buildings. we know street soccer will focus on kids. we are in discussions to provide coding workshop in the temporary terminals, greyhound building.

the point on youth and trying to make positive active spaces is well-taken and something we care deeply about. >> i think the plan as you are viewing was hard to officialize. maybe a comment that it is important to me that these spaces feel open to the public. they are not something that feels the fencing makes it inaccessible, especially to the families in the neighborhoods. i am curious what your point is to make sure this space feels open and accessible while maintaining the necessary security that you mentioned. >> thank you for that question. we debated whether to have any fencing at all. that point in having it feel

accessible is important to us. after operationally what is happening with the site and opening it initially. the idea was to have fencing that may come down as the site is activated. that fencing will be transparent. you will see through it. it is at a height not to prevent people from seeing what is going on on the site. for purposes of deterrent, it is not fully functional. it wouldn't keep something out who -- somebody out who wants over. it does provide security for the operators knowing assets on secured overnight. that is an objective to make the site fully accessible with multiple access points on all the various streets that surround the site.

>> a bit about the materials to be used. i can imagine that a street soccer field is probably not going to be on the pavement. it was unclear what the flex space in this facility what kind of -- what the ground would be. are you keeping the pavement there or something else on top of that? >> from the ground will be turf in the fitness area. street soccer with pickleball courts. re-surfacing to allow for play but address the issues as far as sloping and contours of the site. within the beer garden area. it will be design elements hedging from landscaping. there won't be a lot done with ground cover other than turfing. we will look at ground elements and lighting and art to dress up

the site and serve the place making objective that we have. >> that makes sense. one last question. i understand that the construction permanent construction in 2023 but i don't think the entirety of blocks two, three and four, will be built upon at the same time. i am curious if there is discussion that stays out rather than total termination of activities on the site? >> we have been working with design team and operators to contemplate phasing in. if a portion of the site we can maintain operations. >> i will say i want the property being used. this is a title piece of land.

-- vital piece of land. when we can house thousands of people that is the dream to make sure the space is as active as possible. there are so many people who moved in the neighborhood and don't have those amenities that this will provide. excited to visit this when it is up and running. >> we have a robust agenda for programming. we would love to operate. if it is delay how that is phased if we are committed to providing that programming that has been presented and phase operations as needed as the site develops. >> thank you. commissioner brackett. >> hi. a couple questions as well. i am excited it is going to be in the upcoming july. that is a month away.

i want to get a little more detail, if possible, on who you guys selected for janitorial maintenance and security team. are those local sbe businesses? as i understand the engineers is in san jose and not san francisco. can you give us explanation about that? >> andrea will speak to the items on the mechanical provided by al take tech and -- alpha tech. they have offices in a number of different states and cities. they were looking to, one, provide economical plan, and, two, timely plan. as it relates to other businesses. >> with respect to your

question, commissioner brackett about janitorial and security. the anticipated plan for the moment is that the site will use block by block. the east cut community benefits vendor. a team of 22 staff that provide services in the neighborhood and we will add to that staff here. i think the larger thing is that for us this project is really critical as a post-covid mini economic engine to connect directly with small businesses, in particular, the small businesses. we have been doing direct sort of outreach on the ground going door-to-door to the ground floor merchants in the neighborhood. we held some mini sessions to get more interest. on site session as well. we are really committed to

working with ocii on outreach to small and local business with a focus on equity and diversity. we have done a lot to date and will continue to work with the oci staff. i am happy to answer any questions about that. >> i guess i have two other questions. i am glad you guys are working on outreach for small business owners. i am trying to get understanding around the food and retail. i understand you are working with into action who focus on food vendors specifically? >> we have not yet had connection with them. certainly open to that, very much so. >> on the food element we

designated five operators. mind full that we don't want to dilute the operators that do launch into financial difficulties. we have ability to phase-in as the site is known to the public and as capacity grows. we will launch a more conservative plan. out of those five slots we received six lo i's from east cut cbc merchants and current operators, a number of which are. [indiscernable] >> also. i had a question. are you planning to outreach to people outside of who is currently there? some of our oci properties people there were not displaced from that area and may be in other parts of the city. i would offer to do further outreach beyond the people currently in the east cut

district because you may be replicating businesses already serving that neighborhood and possibly doing additional outreach to people pushed out and providing an opportunity to come back in would be helpful as well. >> it is a great point. covid in this neighborhood. so many businesses were hit hard. particularly businesses relying on 100,000 individuals daily. i will concede we have done a lot of direct outreach in the immediate neighborhood. we are moving to outreach beyond that. >> how long is this food truck residency? you talked about opportunity to move them in and out. the five people are not static. there may be opportunities to get other businesses involved. can you tell us more about that what plan looks like?

>> specific to food trucks? >> other food vendors, food trucks and kiosk vendors, two types of vending opportunities. there wouldn't be just food there would be other businesses involved as well. i assume that worry tail? >> correct. >> the beer garden is five food and five retail kiosks permanent. for those we are required to be operational daily. that is important for activating the site and creating the destination. food trucks can play a supplemental role for launching and meeting capacity. if we see on the weekends attendance spikes where the current capacities are at capacity and can't serve the crowds we will bring in food

strucks. if people want to get something as they transition in or out or want to enjoy a meal on the periphery which may be more active and people have the opportunity to get food and beverage and experience the site to their preference. that is how we contemplate the program and integrate retail as well. >> lastly, do you have an idea who will be the beer garden provider? is that local? is there a company or someone from outside. i know around july for someone to too that. they have to be certified with abc in this area. can you give us a little bit who that provider is going to be? >> monarchs beverage company.

they operated brick and mortar as well as outdoor activation. the largest outdoor event in golden gate park. they operated within sales force park. lgbq business as well. as we evaluated the operators, it was important to be local and also have ability to scale up. we did due diligence to make sure they hadn't run afoul of city agencies. they are excited and they said you let us know when to open and we will be open. we are pleased with that i enthusiasm and operational capacity. >> no further questions. >> vice chair rosales. >> thank you, chair bustos. a couple other questions. many that i have and the ones i

had have been asked by fellow commissioners. this is exciting. i was reading this and this is a place to have fun. i want to know when it is happening so i can show up and tell my friends. focus on outreach and marketing and capacity. the first question and i think i have gotten a little answer. the thousand responses you received, were those primarily in transbay or beyond? >> we received over 1200 responses last august. we did a survey in partnership with supervisor haney's office to gather feedback on the site. the east cut cbd is working and

received 3,000 comments from all over. many of them asking for the types of activities we now are trying to bring forward. we have other park spaces pending and should be built that can provide permanent long-term conditions. reality like so much invested in the neighborhood to make it a place to live, be transit rich, walkable. some of the other things are lagging. we want to bring those to fruition. it is important from community building. of the 1200 who completed the survey, a thousand are within five minute walk. they are all very much in the neighborhood. the rest i can't speak to. >> i live in the heights. my office in the mission. it is party central for many things. drawing folks to the community

and having people associate positive feelings and bribes from cultural experiences is wonderful for any neighborhood. i have wanted transbay to start developing that vibe. this is excellent. i should add on marketing. i can see this is so exciting when you start marketing this you will get people like they have the center drew folks in and question if people would come to that part of the city and they do and they have. i am trying to figure out if you just get an over response to marketing. i would be interested in hearing about the marketing plan and what happens when members of the public want to participate on any given day. >> those are questions that we have addressed. you build it and they come.

are you prepared if they come in droves. you are in a dens neighborhood that is the marketing standpoint to make sure they build up we build it and have people engage in a marketing and pr campaign directed to the publications, the publications that cover food and entertainment in san francisco. updating programming with intake form for operators interested in participating in the site, keeping people appraised what is going on and what hours. using the firm to handle the marketing and keep the site in the public domain. you get to a tipping point where it becomings off the grid within

fort mason and picnic and presidio they didn't have to create a lot of marketing. social campaign and app and push that out. which groups are going to be at the site, what are the offerings? that is our initial strategy. we designated watch parties. if giants are in the playoffs. just knowing if we hit the success we could have additional outreach to food provider os pop up basis. maybe monday through thursday we hit crowds to be served by dedicated food providers. on the weekend we will bring in additional providers. i am overwhelmed how big the

site is but with all of the different programs and because there is not a lot of this it could become popular very quickly. we are planning for that operationally. >> is there going to be amusement offerings or musicians? i saw athletics and food and other activations. >> we would love to offer that. we are mindful and sensitive to concern the neighbors but at least during hours that are not invasive to quality of life that could be a great opportunity. we have had outreach. ben from the entertainment commission to start having discussions about what is possible on the site. it is a balance between providing entertainment and

options and mindful of community concerns. >> i would add that we are sensitive to wanting this to be a place that you can live in the neighborhood and play and not be pushed out. >> if you want to draw people i would recommend you invite santana or an individual that will spring zillions of people. music is a draw. great presentation. thank you. no more questions. >> thank you for the presentation. this is very exciting for me to see some activation happened. the only questions i have/or concern who is able to use this?

in san francisco when something new happens that is exciting where new people are moving in, there is some -- how can i put it? there is some blockage. some people will not feel welcome there. we saw that in the mission playground. the people using the playground for a long time when we had the new hipsters move in, they said you can't play here, you have to go somewhere else. whenever something nice happens in our city, i always hear stories of people around a long time not able to take advantage or participate.

i just throw that out there as a concern that i have. i hope that you will be able to alleviate that concern. maybe put a sign that says everyone is welcome so we don't have them calling the cops. this is our space. that is a real thing that happens. not only does it happen but the trauma with it when someone is told to go back where they came from or you are not welcome here. i throw that out there. maybe there is a way you can put some signage or create an environment where everyone truly feels welcome in that space. i throw that out there. second, similar to what commissioner brackett alluded to and this commission tried to work hard to make sure local people have an opportunity for these options or opportunities

that you will be creating for small businesses especially. the resources you have to hire communities or hire small businesses is justice to action on your part. we hope you take advantage of that resource to do that for local businesses. especially businesses that have been around for a long time. we heard from earlier from ms. johnson. there hasn't bench there. but small businesses have tried to survive. especially during this pandemic. i hope that we could do the right thing, which is the mantra this commission is saying for many years. i like what you are doing. i don't know what pickleball is. i will look it up.

i don't think we play pickleball in the mission where i grew up. maybe i will try my luck. i do appreciate you wanting to activate the space and creating a place where every one feels welcome. that is a policy that is more than a promise. >> commissioners, 5e. i would like to ask for a motion. >> i will move. >> vice chair rosales moves. >> second. >> commissioner bycer. thank you. >> madam secretary, please take roll. >> item 5:00 p.m. commissioner brackett. >> -- for 5b. >> commissioner brackett.

>> a statement with my vote why i am voting the way i am. with over 30 breweries in san francisco we lost considerable income which has decimated that sector due to health and safety restrictions on covid. i find depconcern this was made with a beer company out of illinois and lack of outreach to groups to support. i cannot support this. we are happy to have new communities to celebrate. comers and natives in san franciscans. i am concerned since they are the same concerns i brought up in february when we approved the r.f.p. process and i specifically asked what outreach to marginalized communities. i feel that a lot of those

comments then and now are falling on deaf ears. my vote today is no. >> commissioner bycer. >> i wonder if it is appropriate to respond to one comment or not? >> we are in the process of voting. we closed public comment. commissioner bycer. >> yes. >> commissioner scott absent. vice chair rosales. >> yes. >> chair bustos. >> i vote yes. i caution the project sponsors that commissioner brackett has lifted a legitimate concern. know that hopefully this is not the last time you will see you us. we hope that you will provide us with some information through the staff or yourself about some of the progress you have made. we would appreciate that.

>> mr. chair the vote is three ayes, one nay, and one absent. >> next item. >> agenda number 5c. approving a municipal finance disclosure policies and procedures for the office of community investment and infrastructure. resolution number 21-2021. >> thank you, madam secretary. commissioners, one of the unique tools we have the ability to issue bonds. one of the things we need to do as issuer is have a formal disclosure policy. that is what you are to hear about today. from our deputy director of

planning and disclosure council. >> good afternoon. [indiscernable] i am here to walk you through some of the basic points of the proposed disclosure policy then we will transition to the disclosure council to provide training for you to what the commission's role is in disclosure. this is particularly relevant because this summer you will be presented with disclosure materials related to the proposed affordable housing bond that we are planning for the fall. as you may recall from the budget. the oyii port follealio is $922 million that is a lot of million. it is important that we meet our

disclosure obligations which we are required by federal securities law. gfoa, umbrella organization the north star of all government entities recommends that everybody de that issues bonds adopt disclosure policy. this was adopted september of 2011. it is essentially section of the debt policy. now we would like to present to you disclosure policy tailored to reflect the ocii practices. there are three types of disclosures. first is primary. that is what tells the market what the risks are for specific bonds that is the kind of

disclosure you will see this summer. primary item is the preliminary official statement. erica will go into detail on that. where ocii on the annual basis reports out to the market the same information that he committed to disclose on the annual basis during each bond issuance. there is also informal disclosure. any public statements made by any person associated with ocii that has many of the operations of the agency that would cover any statements made by any of our commission members. erica will go into greater detail on that. the point person for our disclosure policy is the debt manager who you recently saw

presenting our financing team for the proposed bond issuance. the debt manager works with the disclosure council, erica, and the project team and financing team. disclosure council as well as the staff work with the debt manager to develop the disclosure item and project team reviews the document and ensures accuracy and sign off. finally, d.p.w. g the debt practice working group disclosure policy working group composed of our general counsel and myself and the debt manager. we sign off on the approved item of disclosure and present it to the executive director for review and approval.

now we will transition to an overview of how the disclosure policy relates to the commission and its work. erica. >> thank you. the policy is anti fraud provision. section 17a of security packet exchange racket and 15.12 of the security exchange act. we are not going over those in detail. i want to refer to what we are talking about in the options.

at a high level they are to prevent fraud or deceit in connection with the sale of bonds. what they require is all of your disclosures, information or statement you make has to be true and accurate. has to be contained on the material information, cannot contain any material misstatements or omit any material information. the purpose of the anti fraud provisions to ensure the buyers and sellers are able to make in formed decisions about whether or not to buy the oci bonds.

failure to complete with result in defense costs, reputational harm or downgrade in ratings. worth noting here. when we talk about actions and fees, those can be brought against ocii as entity but also against individuals. staff, executives as well as commission. the thinking here is that ocii is an entity. it acts by way of individuals who run it. anti fraud don't all include intent. you can have negligence. failure to spend time to dig in to make sure your statements are right. not dealing with due diligence, not paying attention. it rises to a level which the sec signs is petition to be a

violation of anti-fraud on provisions. >> the areas most important are the official statements. the official statement we mentioned earlier there is a document what is used to sell the bonds to investors. it is to provide market played relevant information that would be critical to make the decision. the current information about whether or not the current status on ocii, authorization of bonds to use the proceeds. how ocii plans to pay the bonds and risk associated with

investment. factors to change when a project will be completed or how repayment will occur. disclosure policy describes with the process which the staff will call. the commission has a roll to play as well. the commission received the copy of the official statement in the preliminary form as part of the agenda package you received when you approved the bonds. it comes as preliminary document, the preliminary statement is what goes to market to sell the bonds. it is called preliminary document, it substantially is time. the only things missing are the final numbers which are what are put in after the sale. the preliminary statement which

comes to you is expected to be reviewed by you. the assumption all of the governing entities have the material information about the entity. you are able to gauge the disclosure. to rely on the staff and consultants as to the contents that have to be reasonable. >> sec spent time on what is the obligation of officials. yes obligations to review should be considered ceremonial in nature. they made comments there is way personal obligation to ensure investors have comingplete and accurate information about the financial condition.

on the issue of reviewing official statements spoken specifically. for example in the case involving orange county in the enforcement county is where it comes from. a series of official statements issued by the county to be used in connection with the bond issuance. they found all of them had misled investors about the financial condition of the county and the ability to use the obligations to pay the bond and violated the anti-fraud provisions. they specifically called out the board of supervisors. they indicated they failed to receive and approve the assets. they specifically called out. the board was fully aware of what the financial condition of the county was. if they had read the os, he they

would notice the statements in the oss about the financial condition of the county weren't quite clear and they didn't really explain what the potential impact would have been on the ability of the county to pay obligations on the bond. they appeared to question staff about this. they had just approved. they challenged the board. they discussed this again in the city of san diego in the enforcement action in 2006 with the same analysis. series went out that didn't challenge or question. they noted how important it is for the city council in that case to have raised questions to their staff asking information, asking for more information and clarity especially when 2 city council is aware of challenges

which should be accurately stated. what is notable is that the city of san diego case a one tell off city council members didn't feel they were responsible. sec pointed out the council people are not reading them have -- did not take them outside of the perimeter of fraud. it reiterated the misunderstanding that the failure of the anti-fraud provisions exist by intentional act but also by failing to do an act. this situation of the board, commission, council all needing to review and ask questions of

your staff is repeated in subsequent cases by the sec. what are we asking the commission to do? is commission allowed to rely on the staff and the policies? what is their role? the role in reviews is to, one, preview. two, confirm. does it appear to accurately inform investors about the bonds, the authorization, what is going on with oci at the time? does it appear to leave out the facts that you know could change the situation described there? it could have a material impact on outcome that could be really

significant to a reasonable investor. they note political sensitivities are confidential are not exceptions to disclosure. if those situations come up, you need to share them with staff. review and ask questions. notify if you feel there are inaccurate. if only part of the story is conveyed. if you feel like there is something, information that should be there that is important to accurately tell the whole picture. ultimately you are asked by the sec as part of the anti fraud

provisions to not approve if the information is false or inaccurate or misleading or omitting something that a reasonable investor would consider critical in the decision as to whether or not to buy a bond. there is another area of disclosure more and more of an issue. we have spoken about it. informal disclosure. typically social media or public statements. here the sec says social media especially statements by the media are more and more sources of significant information to the market. especially if there is a period of time since the last official statement or last financial

report. you have to be mindful about what you are saying or how you put it out there. that is tricky. a lot of times social media, blog, tweet, has in the past been the manner in which a politician or elected official has expressed himself in an impassioned manner. sometimes that has been used again to be misinterpreted in the market. one situation we had a comment about almost a joke because we used against the issuer. we will remind you all comments even in social media have to be accurate no material omissions or statements. we wanted to give you a couple of tips. all ways be accurate.

it is a source of comments to the market to provide as updates people know when your comments are current versus historic. if you need additional support or accuracy, fact-check outreach back to staff. just to reorient you to why this is the commission. in the summer of 2021, the commission will take action on the underwriter selection, draft agreement and draft bond venture. in the intervening time period the staff will take the same items to oversight board for

approval. spending approval -- pending approval they will forward for review. we will be working on our credit presentation, marketing materials to present issuance to the investor and work on finalizing the document. all of that will take us through the summer and fall. then we will come back to you with a preliminary official statement and updated draft for bonds. we hope to sell the bond this is early november and close and receive the cash before thanksgiving. that is the plan. i look forward to answering any questions you might have about disclosure or the commission's role in disclosure. >> thank you for a very comprehensive perspective and look on all of this.

it is a lot to consider. thank you for that. madam secretary, any speaker cards for this item? >> at this time, members of the public to comment should contact 415-655-0001 access code (187)328-3329. press pound, pound then when you are in the call press star 3 to be placed in the queue. members of the public on the phone who would like to submit public comment press star 3 now. mr. chair it does not appear any members of the public wish to comment on this item. >> okay. hearing no request to speak i

will close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners. commissioner brackett, any questions or comments you may have? >> no questions or comments at this moment. >> thank you. commissioner bycer. >> thank you to the staff for walking us through this, especially the important part of what we do. glad we got that out there. very helpful information. thanks. >> thank you. vice chair rosales. questions or comments? >> i have one quick question. what is the internal review process for the draft official statement? >> deputy director for finance. the internal review process is

that the debt manager works with the financing team to draft the document. we reach out to the relevant project managers to review the information. so that would be any project manager who is working on an area that provides revenue that would support the potential bond issuance and they need to review the official statement to make sure all project information is accurate and then if any appendix of the disclosure policy they sign i acknowledge the information contained here this is accurate to the best of my knowledge. then the dtwg reviews that draft and that consists of the general counsel, myself and john, the debt manager. the three of us sign off on that. following that sign off it goes

to interim director for her review and sign off. only then would it be put in the commission agenda packet for your review and potential approval. many, many eyes will have seen and reviewed this information. in addition. erica, she is not the bond team has a disclosure council for the actual issuance, erica is not a formal member of bond team. she is sitting in the background reviewing the documents as well. once we transition from the issuance into ongoing maintenance, that becomes part of erica's purview. she is a fourth or fifth or sixth set of eyes. >> great. that gives me a lot of comfort.

second question and this is for general counsel. how do we handle information we received in closed session in terms of the official statement? >> attorney-client privilege information is privileged. i am asking that question. >> this question does come up. >> information that is disclosed in a confidential closed session has to remain confidential. i think if there is a question about whether it needs to berevealed rewould want to talk to the commissioners who have a question about that and decide

if it is information that is essentially subject to disclosure. i know it is not really a clearance, but i think in the absence of specific facts it is hard to answer. as general matter we want to protect confidentiality of the closed sessions. that is why we are authorized to go to closed session. because there is a need for some confidentiality. >> the other clients i have where that has come up. the question goes directly to council. council would bring it to me and we would decide if there is a particular way to describe it or a matter which is not material to the particular issue.

>> right materiality. i answered my own question in my head. thank you. i have no further questions. >> thank you, vice chair rosales. >> thank you all for this important presentation. may i get a motion for 5c? >> i will move. >> thank you. >> second. >> thank you. madam secretary please take roll. >> commission members 5c. commissioner brackett. >> yes. >> commissioner bycer. >> yes. >> commissioner scott is absent. vice chair rosales. >> yes. >> chair bustos. >> yes. >> there is four ayes. >> thank you. motion carries.

please call the next item. >> next or agenda item is 6. public comment on non-agenda items. >> any speaker cards for this item? >> members of the public for non-agenda items call 415-655-0001 access code (187)328-3329.

8p. infor memo on the notice of intent to issue request for proposals for parks maintenance and property management services at hunters point shipyard phase 1. hunters point shipyard project area. >> i have two items to go over and will update you on a

program. first up on the agenda in your packets you received the report for the 2020 on the status of community benefits package under hunters point phase 1. staff review and found in compliance. developer will make a full presentation on the community benefits program later in this calendar year. from the shipyard team they are available to answer questions on the 2020 report. next the other item is related to ship yard phase 1. that is a request for proposal goes to solicit bids foreigntity to provide property management for the parks and open space on the hilltop of the phase 1 project we will transfer to ocii. you may recall we have previously solis ited in the

past. we will not proceed to a full contract. we would like to go back out to the public for a. r.f.p. out of the community facilities dix it for the ship ward for park maintenance. marie is available to answer any questions about that r.f.p. lastly, i want to update you on a matter related to the preference program. assem be man has proposed expansion to all direct descendents through the ab1584 which was approved by the state assembly on may 20th. next steps for this proposed legislation include legislation by the state senate and governor. we will monitor the progress and

keep the commission appraised and discussion of the implementation with the committee that was formed before coming back to the commission to discuss further. should this be fully approved it would go into effect in january 2022. with that that concludes my report. staff are available to answer any questions you might have. >> thank you. madam secretary any speaker cards? >> members of the public should call 415-655-0001 for this item. access code (187)328-3329. pound pound. you will need to press star 3 to be placed in the queue. we have a speaker. >> i will make a number of

statements. i have been following all of the activities on hunters point naval shipyard forever. we have the same characters here. speaking in generalities, taking the time down the street while the community is suffering. i didn't know how you can move forward with park maintenance and some sort of facilities when we don't have a clear idea about the cleanup. as i said earlier, i know some of you. i have a pretty good relationship with some of you. the older ones on this ocii. formerly the successive agency

to redevelopment and the san francisco redevelopment agency that was deactivated. because of this project at hunters point ocii is now trying to address the situation at hand but you have managers who are giving the presentation who are dispickcable. they look you in the eye and lie. ocii better fess up because you will be investigated much like p.u.c. and it will be a shame. i didn't say anything about the bond measure and the three men

without families pretend to do something for children. we need people sense sensitive to families. we don't need to put them in harm's way. ocii has responsibility to address quality of life issues and address life as life should be addressed. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. dekosta. >> we have no members of the public to comment on this item. >> no other members wishes to speak i will turn to my fellow commissioners for questions or comments. i just want to say before anybody else unless someone else has anything to say. i want to publicly thank commissioner brackett and rosales for being on the committee regarding the cop

preference legislation. just want to thank them so much for their leadership and hard work on this. i think there will be a great thing for the community, for the descendents of people forced out not by choice but by policies the city had. i want to publicly thank both commissioners for hard work in helping make this happen. hearing no further questions or comments, madam secretary, next item. >> next item 9. commissioners questions and matters. >> commissioners, anything else anybody wants to say or have any questions on? all right. madam secretary. next item. >> item 10. closed session. there are no closed session items.

the next item is item 11. adjournment. >> we need a motion to adjourn this meeting. may i have a motion? >> you want to stay here? >> so moved. >> commissioner bycer. second. >> rosales is that yes? >> raising my hand, yes. >> thank you, commissioner. all right. thank you both for motioning adjournment. it is 2:58 p.m. i want to thank everybody for hard work and participation today's meting. thank you.

>> in august 2019 construction began on the new facility at 1995 evans avenue in bayview. it will house motorcycle police and department of forensic services division. both sfpd groups are in two buildings that need to be vacated. they will join the new $183 million facility in late 2021. >> elements of the cfi and the traffic company are housed at the hall of justice, which has

been determined to be seismically unfit. it is slated for demolition. in addition to that the forensic services crime lab is also slated for demolition. it was time and made sense to put these elements currently spread in different parts of the city together into a new facility. >> the project is located in the bayview area, in the area near estes creek. when san francisco was first formed and the streetcars were built back it was part of the bay. we had to move the building as close to the edge as possible on bedrock and solid elements piles down to make sure it was secure. >> it will be approximately 100,000 square feet, that includes 8,000 square feet for traffic company parking garage. >> the reason we needed too new building, this is inadequate for

the current staffing needs and also our motor department. the officers need more room, secured parking. so the csi unit location is at the hall of justice, and the crime laboratory is located at building 60 sixty old hunters point shipyard. >> not co-located doesn't allow for easy exchange of information to occur. >> traffic division was started in 1909. they were motor officers. they used sidecars. officers who road by themselves without the sidecar were called solo. that is a common term for the motorcycle officers. we have 45 officers assigned to the motorcycles. all parking at the new facility will be in one location. the current locker room with shared with other officers.

it is not assigned to just traffic companies. there are two showers downstairs and up. both are gym and shop weres are old. it needs constant maintenance. >> forensic services provides five major types of testing. we develop fingerprints on substances and comparisons. there are firearms identification to deal with projectiles, bullets or cartridge casings from shootings. dna is looking at a whole an rare of evidence from -- array of evidence from dna to sexual assault to homicide. we are also in the business of doing breath allyzer analysis for dui cases.

we are resurrecting the gunshot residue testing to look for the presence of gunshot residue. lifespan is 50 years. >> it has been raised up high enough that if the bay starts to rise that building will operate. the facility is versus sustainable. if the lead gold highest. the lighting is led. gives them good lights and reduces energy use way down. water throughout the project we have low water use facilities. gardens outside, same thing, low water use for that. other things we have are green roofs on the project. we have studies to make sure we have maximum daylight to bring it into the building. >> the new facility will not be open to the public. there will be a lobby.

there will be a deconstruction motorcycle and have parts around. >> the dna labs will have a vestibule before you go to the space you are making sure the air is clean, people are coming in and you are not contaminating anything in the labs. >> test firing in the building you are generating lead and chemicals. we want to quickly remove that from the individuals who are working in that environment and ensure what we put in the air is not toxic. there are scrubbers in the air to ensure any air coming out is also at the cleanest standards. >> you will see that kind of at the site. it has three buildings on the site. one is for the motorcycle parking, main building and back behind is a smaller building for evidence vehicles. there is a crime, crime scene. they are put into the secure

facility that locks the cars down while they are examined. >> they could be vehicles involved in the shooting. there might be projectiles lodged in the vehicle, cartridge casings inside the vehicle, it could be a vehicle where a aggravated sexual occurred and there might be biological evidence, fingerprints, recovered merchandise from a potential robbery or other things. >> the greatest challenge on the project is meeting the scope requirements of the project given the superheated construction market we have been facing. i am proud to say we are delivering a project where we are on budget. >> the front plaza on the corner will be inviting to the public. something that gives back to the public. the building sits off the edge. it helps it be protected.

>> what we are looking for is an updated building, with facilities to meet our unit's needs. >> working with the san francisco police department is an honor and privilege. i am looking forward to seeing their faces as the police officers move to the new facility. >> it is a welcome change, a new surrounding that is free from all of the challenges that we face with being remote, and then the ability to offer new expanded services to the city and police department investigations unit. i can't wait until fall of 2021 when the building is finally ready to go and be occupied and the people can get into the facility to serve them and serve the community.

>> i have been a cable car grip for 21 years. i am a third generation. my grand farther and my dad worked over in green division for 27. i guess you could say it's blood. >> come on in. have a seat. hold on. i like it because i am standing

up. i am outside without a roof over my head and i see all kinds of people. >> you catch up to people you know from the past. you know. went to school with. people that you work with at other jobs. military or something. kind of weird. it's a small word, you be. like i said, what do people do when they come to san francisco? they ride a cable car. >> california line starts in the financial district. people are coming down knobbhill. the cable car picks people up. takes them to work. >> there still is no other device to conquer these hills better than a cable car. nobody wanted to live up here

because you had to climb up here. with the invention of the cable car, these hills became accessible. he watched horses be dragged to death. cable cars were invent in san francisco to solve the problem with it's unique, vertically challenged terrain. we are still using cars a century old >> the old cable car is the most unique thing, it's still going. it was a good design by then and is still now. if we don't do something now. it's going to be worse later. >> the cable cars are built the same as they were in

>> welcome to themay 25 regular meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors. madamclerk, will you please call the role . >> thank you mister president, supervisor chan . [roll call]
