so i would like to [ indiscernible ] the reliability of buss and bike lanes. and would like to have more bike. one of the things i would like to talk about here with you guys to teach people about how to ride safely, how to ride muni safely. i have about three years of transit appearance as a transit operator and i'm here on the capacity of representing myself and not anybody else. i also would like to more people using public transit in

my area and in san francisco in general because we have too many cars here and too much pollution going on. i would like to san francisco residents to use more muni bike as possible. another thing i have to mention is in the san francisco area, buses sometimes do not come on time and i understand that there are so many things that could go wrong. we want to always help and be positive help in making sure

the bus and there's no obstacles and no one sleeping in the lanes and that's something i would like to discuss, you know, security issues around making sure the bus comes on time. street parking in my area, there's so many car parks here and we want to limit it to ten to five minutes so people can make their deliveries and drop-offs and pick up and leave. car parking here all day long and all night and they have no plates and they have no anything. this doesn't look good and the cars are just staying here where we hope that those people make different changes and move their car somewhere else just on different way of moving around. >> okay. thank you, caller. you have 10 more seconds and then if you can conclude, please.

>> caller: i am strong here. this is where i live. i would like to be part of the change and thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and i hope whoever gets this position makes the best contribution. thank you so much. >> thank you, caller. there are no more callers on the line. >> chairman: all right. public comment on item five is closed. commissioner ronen. >> commissioner: thank you. thanks to all of the incredible applicants. district 6, it looks like there's a hard decision before you. district 9 is a little simpler. kevin ortiz has been an excellent representative on the c.a.c. for us in the previous term and i enthusiastically am supporting another term for him

aside from being very familiar with the mission district and transportation issues and concerns specifically in the latinx community. mr. ortiz is a staffer for speaker nancy pelosi, so it kind of gets to pay attention to funding and transportation issues on a federal level and bring that knowledge home to us in this way. so i just wanted to say that i strongly support his application and hope you will join me in that. thank you. >> chairman: great. want to make that a motion? >> commissioner: i would love to. thank you. yes. >> chairman: if commissioner haney doesn't object, we can go ahead and take care of d9 first. so, commissioner ronen has moved the reappointment of

kevin ortiz to the d9 spot, is there a second? >> commissioner: second, preston. >> chairman: seconded by preston. madam clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: of course. [roll call]

we have nine ayes. the motion to appoint kevin ortiz to c.a.c. passes. >> chairman: thank you, madam clerk. commissioner haney. >> commissioner: thank you. it's wonderful to see so many of our residents willing to step up and i just want to say for all of you, i hope that you can work together on these issues and please reach out to me in my office and we'd love to find ways for all of you to be able to serve in some capacity. so thank you very much for your interest and your commitment to public transportation and safety on our streets. i am very proud to nominate eric rozell. eric, as you heard in his comments has been involved in every effort here in this

neighborhood to make our streets safer which is just a critical live line and really brought forward some transformation changes. he is somebody who walks and bikes and takes transit and i just want to say in addition to all of those things, as someone who walks this neighborhood myself and my district pretty much every day, i think i can safely say he is the person that i run into anyone. usually a few times a week. so that is the kind of person that we want to have in this committee and really deeply connected to the community and thank you, eric, for stepping up to serve and thank you to everyone whom i expressed interest. we have an abundance of leadership in district 6 and we will find a way to have all of you have an opportunity to serve. i'm going to nominate eric rozell to serve on the district

6 seat. >> chairman: okay. is there a second? seconded by ronen. madam clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: thank you. [roll call] we have ten ayes, the motion passes.

>> chairman: thank you, madam clerk. thanks to all the applicants and thank you commissioner haney and ronen for helping us figure out how to move forward. madam clerk, please call item 6. >> clerk: item 6, allocate $2,163,640 in prop k funds, with conditions, for two requests. this is an action item. >> good morning, commissioners. let me pull up my presentation. mr. chair, can you see my presentation? my slides? >> chairman: i can. >> okay. so real quick, just two requests came from the board this morning. the first is from the sfmta to replace 27 of the paratransit vans that are in the current fleet that have reached the end of their youthful lives. these 27 vans include 26 cut-away vans that are similar to the vans that are currently in service and there's one

smaller van as you can see on your screen which has a slightly smaller footprint, but it allows for more maneuverability and flexibility with ridership demands and service routes so you can park in smaller parking areas and also on narrower streets. the vehicles to be in service by the end of -- sorry, by summer of 2023. and the other request from sfmta is to replace signal equipment that has reached the end of its life. the approximate locations are 36, in your materials that are supportive in your pact for this meeting and this is important to do in order to do in the state of good repair so that folk who is are relying on

these signals, that they are not caught in a situation where the they unexpectedly fail. and it also allows for the signal crews to keep on track with planned signal projects for vision 0 supportive work as opposed to being redirected to deal with emergency situations. those are the two requests. we have some project managers here if there are some questions. >> chairman: thank you, director. i don't see questions or comments. let's open this item to public comment. >> there's no public comment. >> chairman: all right. public comment on item 6 is closed. is there a motion to approve item 6? moved by ronen. is there a second? seconded by melgar. >> commissioner: that's okay. don't worry about it.

i didn't move quickly enough. let's just vote on it. >> chairman: did you want to say something? >> commissioner: look. i just wanted to say what a lifeline paratransit was to district 7 into your district 2, by the way because when muni was shut down and so many folks with disabilities live up in those hills, paratransit is what kept them connected and the m.t.a. moved very fast to make sure that that subsidy was expanded. so i'm so glad we are suring up the system. it's what needs to be done. so thank you. and i second. >> chairman: thank you for the second and the comments. madam clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: yes, on item 6, [roll call]

we have eleven ayes and the motion passes. >> chairman: great. madam clerk, please call item seven. >> clerk: item seven, accept the audit report for this fiscal year ended june 30th, 2021. this is an action item. >> chairman: deputy director. >> good morning, commissioners. deputy director for finance

admission. today i'm happy to report. before i hand it over to our audit partner, i'd like to thank and appreciate my staff. cal, cchrista, lena, and the auditors, of course, for producing the 127-page annual fre hencive report and completing a successful audit. i'll hand it over to our auditor to share himself our power point presentation. >> chairman: great. hold up. it looks like commissioner ronen is in the queue. >> commissioner: i just wanted to take the opportunity to thank ms. wong for your incredible work. you're just over-the-top amazing and the fact we get a perfect audit almost every year is such a testament to you and your staff and i want to recognize you and thank you for

all your extraordinary work. >> chairman: thank you, commissioner ronen. mr. edelman. >> okay. and i'll just add, you know, getting a positive audit that is all on them. that's on the folks that work and are responsebling for putting this together i am the independent external auditor and if i did this correct, you should have the slides ahead of you on the screen. first and foremost, financial statements and i'm talking about timma. i'm talking about the t.a., but also pretty much everything i

say with a few exceptions also applies to timma. it's a separate legal entity to it does produce a separate set of financial statements and those further get wrapped up and combined with the t.a. financial statements. so all of the stuff here applies to both entities, but asking the question, do they comply with the governmental accounting standards? is it complete and accurate information for decision makers? there's also a federal compliance audit called the signal audit which probably would make the most sense. with the grant fund with what

they said they were going to use them for. and then the last item on here is there are internal deficiencies identified as we come in and say things need to be done different in order for financial statements to be request accurate and correct. it's really just to report back. and like i said, management that was involved with accounting they are really responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the accounting information for making sure that the information that they and

ensuring that the internal controls are all working. kind of the timing of the audit, it goes on for timing of the audit, it goes on throughout the year. early in the year, there's planning and risk assessment that we go through kind of in that march to may time frame. there's interim audit work looking at internal controls and some of the compliance. june 30th is the end of the fiscal year. they close the books, they prepare for the audit, we do the bulk of the work september to october time frame and kind of november to december towards the end of the year, but the audit was done earlier. the result is doing all the things that we do. number one, there's no opinion. so within that 180-page document is our header that opinion on the financial

statements goes on for i guess a couple pages, actually but the most relevant excerpt in all material respects at the transportation authority and very similar opinion. that is the most exciting thing that the auditor can be telling you which means that they are good correct that they are complete and accurate. internal control. there's a second opinion towards the back. that would be internal control deficiencies. we did not identify any deficiencies it goes on. but that's a positive, clean, unmodified kit.

number three, involving compliance which really is that yerba buena project. but no instances of noncompliance are required. you know, that's where if there were instances of noncompliance, that grants were being used, that's where that would be. it would be called out again. clean compliance and then also in your packet is a management, but supplementary information where you'll see if things that we said need to change rgs but they're too small to actually change. it appears there were

nonidentified difficulties encountered. and i'll just point out there's a couple things involving significant risk and significant and those are things when we do our risk assessment, they require special attention not necessarily, you know, nothing that results in the modification. so, with that, i'll turn it over for any questions. if there's any questions from the commissioners, i'll try and answer those.

>> chairman: thanks to cynthia fog and her team. let's open this up to public comment. >> okay. hello, caller. your two minutes begins now. >> caller: can you hear me now? >> yes, caller. >> caller: great. it's david pillpell. just one quick question or clarification from the auditor on slide number five, item four which was just referenced. other matters, it uses the term past adjustments.

i'm just wondering if that was an error and should be past adjustments as in adjustments in the past or if there is something else that i'm missing about the term past adjustments if someone can just clarify that point. otherwise, a clean audit is always a good audit. >> thank you, caller. >> do you want me to respond real quick? >> chairman: let's get through public comment. >> there are no other callers. >> chairman: all right. public comment on item seven is closed. would you like to address past versus passed. >> it's correct. it's passed as in -- that's where audit adjustments that were not posted that we aren't doing anything about because they're immaterial where those would be identified. in this case, there were none.

>> chairman: all right. thank you. well, with that, is there a motion to approve item 7? >> so moved. >> chairman: seconded by melgar. madam clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: [roll call]

we have ten ayes, the motion passes. >> chairman: great. thank you, are madam clerk. please call item 8. >> clerk: item eight approved programming of $4,055,000 in senate bill 1 local partnership program formula funds for construction of the yerba buena island west side bridges seize mick retro fit project. this is an action item. >> good morning commissioners. i am kaylee lions with the transportation authority. happy to present this program with the local partnership program formula fund. the partnership program rewards local jurisdictions that have sought and received voter approval solely dedicated for transportation here's $200 million available annually and the program is administered

by the california transportation commission. 60% of the funds are distributed through a formula program. as prop k and prop aa administrator is eligible for formulaic and we share funds that come from the t.n.c. tax as well. the current fiscal cycle covers fiscal years 2021 through 2023. and we're receiving $6.1 million in formula funds this cycle. the program has brought eligibility including improvements to state highways, transit facilities, local roads, bicycle and pedestrian safety and others. and available for capital projects only, they require a dollar per dollar match and projects must meet timely funds for requirements as well. [please stand by]

very excited to go ahead.

if you can go to the next slide. what you have in front of you is a graphic of some of the past work we've done, the on and off-ramps, the work that is under construction now. the subject in front of you is the west bridge project. a significant infrastructure project. a lot of challenges here that we've identified as part of the engineering work. very excited that we're at this point. very excited about the grant money and just wanted to let you know that the future work on the island, what is called the hill crest road widening project, we'll update you on in the future. just the history here for the west side bridges retrofit project. you're talking about demolishing eight bridge structures. those structures on the foreground of the photograph, which are over 80 years old.

building retaining wall structures, retrofitting one of those bridges, crossing structure. if you recall, this same board approved the construction manager general contract and delivery method for this project where we brought in a construction contractor, frankly, a couple of years ago now. early in the design process and i stress early to make sure that we understood what the risks were, the challenges were and be able to come up with cost estimates that went ahead and put us in the best position to manage risk. right now we're targeting the summer of 2022 for construction. this job will take about close to 40 months to construct, so over three and a half years. some of the challenges that are part of this project, unstable soil conditions, very steep terrain. construction access is difficult. we're basically talking about building a very large wall

structure. rock anchors. tieback retaining walls and as always we have to make sure we're in compliance with any of the environmental constraints for the project. cost containment is one of the biggest through the pre-construction phase. the next slide provides you right now with the estimate for construction line item. significant construction contract. about $85 million worth of work. agency furnished materials, a couple million on top of that. we're budgeting close to 8% range. construction engineering at about another 15%. as well as finance costs here, because the work -- the money that we use primarily federal and state money, there are limitations how much we can draw down every year. let's talk about the funding. we have committed funding, federal, what we call highway bridge program, h.b.p., state

proposition 1b, the previous funds from tida, our partner in all of this. the toll authority and as we just indicated, $18 million from the federal government in terms of the variant. next slide will indicate to you what we are currently planning and actively pursuing in working with our funding partners. we're requesting additional funds from the state of california for the federal h.b.p. money. working with the bay area toll authority to help in terms of the contribution. a small contribution from tida. and in terms of other potential funding sources here that we're proactively pursuing. next slide. so what this does, this $4 million really helps match the money that we have today at the table. the plan ahead for us is to go ahead and work with the ctc and

submit the project to them, later in about a couple of months here. and tie up all that funding and start construction in the summer of 2022. that concludes our presentation. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you, mr. cordova. let's open this item to public comment. >> hello, caller? your two minutes begin now. >> great, david pilpel again. i have not followed this specific project on treasure island ybi at all. haven't heard about it until now. i'm just wondering about the construction staging location or locations, construction mitigation, and how that is going to impact folks on both on

the bay bridge and access to and from ti and ybi as it sounds like it's a 40-month construction project with constrained site location and access. and the difficult issues about that. so i don't know if you want to address that now, but it's just a concern i assume that the ceqa issues have either been addressed or will be prior to construction, but it seems like it's a challenging project. just wanted to make those thoughts known. thank you. >> thank you, caller. there is no more public comment. >> chair mandelman: public comment on item 8 is closed. mr. co-dova, do you want to try to address concerns about construction impacts? >> sure, love to do that, because it's important to recognize that the access to and from the island is limited. and what i shared on the screen previously, the different

projects, one of them is southgate. and what we're going to do is go ahead and open the previously closed eastbound off-ramp to southgate road to allow people to get on to the island coming from san francisco on that -- on that off-ramp structure. that's planned to occur in the spring of this year. the latter part of this spring. so that allows us then, in essence, to take that western side of the island and limit vehicular traffic along that side. so we can go in there and reconstruct this side of the island, the roadway structure. so that's a very good question. i appreciate that question. and it's one that we have planned for and is being incorporated as part of our infrastructure on the island. >> chair mandelman: thank you. and thank you -- although it

looks like you have a path to closing your gap, when are you going to know whether we're there or not and whether the project can actually happen this year? >> the next two months are critical, frankly. over the next two months, they're to go ahead and work with cal tran who is the entity that we've been dealing with to obtain additional funding and work with our partners. we're hoping to bring back to this board recommendation in the april time frame. hopefully no later than may so we can start construction in june. >> chair mandelman: okay, thank you. all right. seeing no further comments or questions, is there a motion to approve this item? commissioner haney? >> commissioner haney: happy to do it. >> chair mandelman: thank you.

is there a second? second chan. thank you. madame clerk, please call the roll. >> item 8, commissioner chan? >> commissioner chan: aye. >> chan aye. commissioner haney? >> commissioner haney: aye. commissioner mandelman? >> commissioner mandelman: aye. >> commissioner mar? >> aye. >> commissioner melgar: aye. >> commissioner peskin: aye. >> commissioner preston: aye. >> commissioner ronen: aye. >> commissioner safai: aye. >> commissioner stefani: aye. >> commissioner walton: aye. >> we have 11 ayes.

motion passes. >> thank you, please call item 9. >> item 9 approve the san francisco transportation investment and growth strategy 2021 update. this is an action item. >> i think we have rachel hyatt here. there you are. hello? >> yes, good morning, chair and commissioners. yes, rachel hyatt, the acting deputy for planning. and please move to the next slide. so this transportation investment and growth strategy, also known as t.i.g., is a requirement of the m.t.c. as the congestion management of san francisco, they're required to prepare one of these growth strategies as part of the regional one bay area grant program. or obag program. as you probably are aware, the

program seeks to integrate transportation, planning and land use in response to senate bill 375, greenhouse gas emission reductions act. and so sfmta is responsible to support our priority developments areas, or pdas, and these are the areas that we and other local jurisdictions in the bay area have identified as the locations for our transit-oriented and infill growth. so the obag fund framework requires them to develop this growth strategy that reports out on our housing production in our priority development areas and describes how we're planning for transportation to support the housing growth in our pdas. so, we have 15 total pdas.

and the most recent time san francisco board of supervisors acted to designate pdas was in 2019. and prior to that, most of our priority development area was on the eastern half of the city of san francisco. we added the board of supervisors -- excuse me, the board of supervisors added four new pdas, so we had 15 total. what this means, these are areas eligible and will be competitive for regional funding from the obag and other programs. something else that the board of supervisors adopted in 2019 as part of this was a new priority pilot production area, or ppa. and that's the area shown in the hatched area. and this is a new part of the framework that the region has set out to promote middle-wage

jobs. and so we now have one priority production area. next, please. the last thing to know is that we have priority conservation areas, the last type of designation. we have eight priority conservation areas and these designations may -- these areas are priority or competitive for the obag. next, please. so the tig is required to identify our trends in housing production. and the policies that san francisco has adopted to promote housing production. and we have a mixed to report in the sense that on the one hand, we have a significant housing deficit. i have colleagues from the planning department today who contributed to the housing

report. and the tig can speak to the housing. housing jobs fit report, but on the other hand, we're doing the best in the region at producing affordable housing and i'll talk about that a bit on the next slide. actually, let's do that. yeah, thank you. so the housing incentive pool, or hip, is a regional grant program created in 2018. and it provides transportation grants or will provide transportation grants to support and promote affordable housing. and this will be administered by m.t.c. in part through the obag framework. so the hip qualifying units are moderate, low, and very low income, affordable housing units

that are produced within pda. m.t.c. will distribute over $70 million in hip program funds to the jurisdictions that produce the greatest number of eligible housing units. during the five-year period from 2018 when this was established through 2022. and so the grants will be awarded after the 2022 housing data becomes available. so far, this report shown here is for what we have available, which is 2018 and 2019. and so far, san francisco is the top producer. we do not yet have the analysis of 2020 or 2021 yet. but we will look forward to hopefully continuing our high performance there. next slide, please. the last two pieces of the tig are to describe the transportation half of the

equation, so we describe the transportation planning effort under way or recently adopted in san francisco to support the priority development areas and the overarching planning effort in that regard is the san francisco transportation plan, s.f.t.p., which is under way as the investment policy blueprint for san francisco. the very last component is to document how san francisco has invested our one bay area grant program fund. and again these are programs that gives priority to and is most competitive for p.d.a., priority development areas. let me show you the next slide how we used the cycle one obag fund. programming to support nine

projects and this was years 2013 through 2017. $35 million total of our county share. and then lastly, in the next slide, the second cycle which was 18 through 2022, and $42 million in total for seven projects. again, priority development areas are prioritized. and right now, m.t.c. is in the process of developing the framework for the obag cycle three, the next cycle, to pick up after 2022. and we expect that we, sfmta, will be able to call for projects, a san francisco call for projects in late spring with recommendations due to m.t.c. in the fall. and that concludes my report on the transportation investment and growth strategy. thank you very much. i also have my colleague james

poppies from san francisco planning department to answer any questions about the housing component. >> chair mandelman: thank you, acting deputy director hyatt. let's open this to public comment. >> okay. we are checking public comment on item 9. there are no callers. >> chair mandelman: okay. thank you, madame clerk. thank you, ms. hyatt, for all of your work on this. and we need a motion to approve? moved by -- commissioner mar. seconded by commissioner chan. madame clerk, please call the roll?

>> clerk: thank you. on item 9 the, commissioner chan? >> commissioner chan: aye. >> commissioner haney: aye. >> commissioner mandelman: aye. >> commissioner mar: aye. >> commissioner melgar: aye. >> commissioner peskin: aye. >> commissioner preston: aye. >> commissioner ronen: aye. >> commissioner safai: -- [indiscernible] >> safai absent. >> commissioner stefani: aye. >> commissioner walton: aye. >> commissioner safai: aye. we have 11 ayes. motion passes. >> chair mandelman: thank you, madame clerk. please call item 10. >> item 10, introduction of new items. this is an information item.

>> chair mandelman: looking to see if anyone has new items. not seeing anyone. madame clerk, please call item 11? >> item 11, public comment. >> chair mandelman: lines open for public comment. >> there is no one on the line. >> chair mandelman: public comment under item 11 is closed. madame clerk, please call item 12. >> item 12 adjournment. >> chair mandelman: we are adjourned. >> thank you.

valencia has been a constantly evolving roadway. the first bike lanes were striped in 1999, and today is the major north and south bike route from the mission neighborhood extending from market to mission street. >> it is difficult to navigate lindsay on a daily basis, and more specifically, during the morning and evening commute hours. >> from 2012 to 2016, there were 260 collisions on valencia and 46 of those were between vehicles and bikes. the mayor shows great leadership and she knew of the long history of collisions and the real necessity for safety improvements on the streets, so

she actually directed m.t.a. to put a pilot of protected bike lanes from market to 15th on valencia street within four months time. [♪♪♪] >> valencia is one of the most used north south bike routes in san francisco. it has over 2100 cyclists on an average weekday. we promote bicycles for everyday transportation of the coalition. valencia is our mission -- fits our mission perfectly. our members fall 20 years ago to get the first bike lane stripes. whether you are going there for restaurants, nightlife, you know , people are commuting up and down every single day. >> i have been biking down the valencia street corridor for about a decade. during that time, i have seen the emergence of ridesharing companies. >> we have people on bikes, we

have people on bike share, scooters, we have people delivering food and we have uber taking folks to concerts at night. one of the main goals of the project was to improve the overall safety of the corridor, will also looking for opportunities to upgrade the bikeway. >> the most common collision that happens on valencia is actually due to double parking in the bike lane, specifically during, which is where a driver opens the door unexpectedly. >> we kept all the passengers -- the passenger levels out, which is the white crib that we see, we double the amount of commercial curbs that you see out here. >> most people aren't actually perking on valencia, they just need to get dropped off or pick something up. >> half of the commercial loading zones are actually after 6:00 p.m., so could be used for five-minute loading later into the evening to provide more opportunities or passenger and commercial loading.

>> the five minute loading zone may help in this situation, but they are not along the corridor where we need them to be. >> one of the most unique aspects of the valencia pilot is on the block between 14th street. >> we worked with a pretty big mix of people on valencia. >> on this lot, there are a few schools. all these different groups had concerns about the safety of students crossing the protected bikeway whether they are being dropped off or picked up in the morning or afternoon. to address those concerns, we installed concrete loading islands with railings -- railings that channel -- channeled a designated crossing plane. >> we had a lot of conversations around how do you load and unload kids in the mornings and the afternoons? >> i do like the visibility of some of the design, the safety aspects of the boarding pilot for the school. >> we have painted continental crosswalks, as well as a yield

piece which indicates a cyclist to give the right-of-way so they can cross the roadway. this is probably one of the most unique features. >> during the planning phase, the m.t.a. came out with three alternatives for the long term project. one is parking protected, which we see with the pilot, they also imagined a valencia street where we have two bike lanes next to one another against one side of the street. a two-way bikeway. the third option is a center running two-way bikeway, c. would have the two bike lanes running down the center with protection on either side. >> earlier, there weren't any enter lane designs in san francisco, but i think it will be a great opportunity for san francisco to take the lead on that do so the innovative and different, something that doesn't exist already. >> with all three concepts for

valencia's long-term improvement , there's a number of trade-offs ranging from parking, or what needs to be done at the intersection for signal infrastructure. when he think about extending this pilot or this still -- this design, there's a lot of different design challenges, as well as challenges when it comes to doing outreach and making sure that you are reaching out to everyone in the community. >> the pilot is great. it is a no-brainer. it is also a teaser for us. once a pilot ends, we have thrown back into the chaos of valencia street. >> what we're trying to do is incremental improvement along the corridor door. the pilot project is one of our first major improvements. we will do an initial valuation in the spring just to get a glimpse of what is happening out here on the roadway, and to make any adjustments to the pilot as needed. this fall, we will do a more robust evaluation. by spring of 2020, we will have recommendations about long-term improvements. >> i appreciate the pilot and how quickly it went in and was built, especially with the community workshops associated with it, i really appreciated

that opportunity to give input. >> we want to see valencia become a really welcoming and comfortable neighborhood street for everyone, all ages and abilities. there's a lot of benefits to protected bike lanes on valencia , it is not just for cyclists. we will see way more people biking, more people walking, we are just going to create a really friendly neighborhood street.

commencing on february 1, 2022 through january 31, 2027. if you wish to comment call 415-655-0001. id24808654274. pound twice. if you haven't done so dial star three to speak. the system prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. mr. chair. >> chair haney: we have two from the contract administration. welcome. >> thanks, supervisors. good morning. i am here with my assistant. we will present and then take questions. >> good morning. pc and airport are the primary users of the contract we are

talking about. i invited dana who is on the call and she can address any questions you may have about what we are trying to do here. today we are talking about term contract 9115. this contract actually covers three different individual contracts. networking, hardware, software and support for three different manufacturers. only one of the contracts is greater than $10 million. that is the one before the board today. we are asking you to authorize oca to enter into an agreement winter vision systems llc for five years with $40 million not to exceed amount. the contract id23748. this contract is for five years and there are no options to extend. that is how it was solicited when we did the bid.

background how we got here. oca did solicitation on september 20, 2021. a low bid and it was to all authorized resellers for juniper and aarau pa, three separate aggregates. we received bids for the manufacturers, evaluated based on the greatest discounts they could guarantee to us during the contract term. awarded to each reseller that provided the highest weighted discount by each manufacturer. the three companies were inner vision systems for juniper, softness solutions for hpe and inner vision. ids and contract amounts provided. hpe was going to have not to exceed $10 million. after revisiting sfpc and sfo

projections we determined it would be better to tap at $8.5 million for now. the structure of these contracts. primary users are city-wide term contracts. department of technology could use if they choose. primary users are san francisco public utilities commission, san francisco airport, they are as needed contracts which means that each of these two departments can use them at will or not use them at all. they can also pursue other contracting methods if they so choose. this is one efficient model they have if they want to use it. pricing we are guaranteed minimum discount off the manufacturer's list. minimum at each transaction level we can negotiate deeper discounts depending what we are buying and how much we are

buying. the purpose of these contracts is to provide efficient process for procuring high volume goods from june person hpe and a ruibawe purchase through the tech market place. it is not the most efficient way. by having the contracts we reduce procurement time from one to four weeks to a few hours. we will secure guaranteed discounts for each product line and rolling up the transactions for each manufacturer under their own individuals we have a better way to track and report that information, something we can't do right now because the transactions are so discounted and occurring using different methods and contracts. additionally, these contracts will allow for greater competition. board has approved almost two years ago a contract with converge one for cisco

networking equipment. the same type of equipment for $65 million. i believe the department of technology is the primary user of tracontract. by having three additional contracts for cisco competitors the city there insure greater competition between different manufacturers in the same space. final slide. we are asking you to authorize oca to move forward with the contract. that is it. any questions? >> bla, please. >> thank you, chair haney. this approves new agreement between city and inter vision systems. seller of the networking equipment. it has not to exceed amount $40 million for five-year term. the city has an existing

agreement because it is through technology marketplace. those transactions are capped at $2.5 million and the discounts are not specified in the agreements and as the director mentioned the procurement process can take up to four weeks. the technology marketplace. purchasing of this contract would reduce the procurement to couple hours staff time, eliminate transaction caps and this agreement provides discount goes off the list price for these products from 10 to 80% depending on the product purchased. the spending is consistent with spending so we recommend approval of the resolution. i am happy to answer any questions. >> chair haney: thank you. colleagues any questions or comments? public comment, please.

>> clerk: operations is checking to see if there are callers in the queue. members who wish to comment wait until the system indicates you are unmuted. that is your key to comment. mr. add atkins. >> no callers in the queue. >> chair haney: public comment is closed. no questions or comments i will move item two to the full board with positive recommends. roll call vote, please. >> clerk: on the motion for this item with positive recommendation. vice -- (roll call). >> we have three ayes.

city administrator sent e-mail notifying that after review it appears the contract will not read the $10 million and therefore should not be before the board pursuant to section 91.18. someone from the bla please confirm this. >> that's correct, chair haney. we looked at the historical expenditures and it was $7 million contract which doesn't require board approval. >> chair haney: any public comment on this item? >> clerk: operations is checking. members of the public to comment press star 3 to be added to the line to speak. wait until the system indicates you are unmuted to begin your comments. any callers? >> there are no callers in the

option to extend for 24 years and general public access requirements waiving the administrative code rent determination that would apply and apfirming the planning department determination under the california environmental quality act. members of the public who wish to comment call 415-655-0001. if you haven't done so star three to speak. wait for the system to indicate you are unmuted. that is your queue to comment. mr. chair. >> chair haney: thank you. we have jackie from district two office to present on this item. >> recreation and park

department. >> chair haney: jackie, are you presenting? >> yes, i am. >> good morning, chair haney and committee members. i am legislative aid for district two supervisor stefani the sponsor of the matter before you today. this would approve the lease agreement between the city and the club for 25 years. jackie will present on the terms and agreement in just a moment. it is one of the san francisco oldest institutions and it has been in operation since 1877. it a haven for swimmers and boaters. there are over 1500 club members today. the club provides ample access

to their facilities for nonmembers as well. supervisor stefani is thrilled to support this and hopes to have your support. thank you. i will leave it to you. >> thank you. good morning, supervisors. i am the property manager with the rec and park department. i am here to request support for approval of the new dolphin club lease. we have supported public recreation for 145 years. the terms of the lease were modeled on the properties passed by july 30, 2019 by the board. the club is located at aquatic park established in 1877. they moved to this current location from 1938. club activities include not just swimming but also cycling and

the active club membership of 1800 members managed by volunteers in leadership and civic positions. i want to highlight the importance of a reliable membership base. they have implemented covid safety protocol to follow the san francisco health. they organized swimming and boating events and competitive events and make plans for the dock maintenance and renovation and repairs. these are photos of pre-covid on the instagram page. average water the in january be is 51°. public access to the club is acquired by the rec and park commission. it is open to the public on monday, wednesday and friday for a $10 fee.

they alternate with the club next door. their days are tuesday, wednesday, saturday. they can change and shower after swimming in the bay. staff are present to greet visitors, check vaccination and tour the facilities. this is a view of the bay. with the lease term we have a new term of 25 years with 24 year option to extend if both sides agree. rent will be 10% of gross receipts with exception of the proposed new fundraiser 4% of gross receipts. this is a similar structure to the lease for the annual inbevitational fundraiser. we are updating the boundaries to includ entire boat dock.

maintain be nance responsibilities are the same. clubs are responsible for maintenance with no requirements to the city. the new lease will be updated with the new city required lease language. thank you for your time today. i am happy to take questions. >> thank you so much. i see supervisor safai has a question. >> thank you, mr. chair. thank you, jackie and dominica. a couple questions. i appreciate this club seems amazing. it seems like it is a great program for the city. i am wondering why it is only open to public nonmembers three

days a week? why would we limit. we are giving below market rate and expanded term where is limited access to nonmembers, where that came about. >> it is a volunteer-run club. they have paid staff. they run off membership fees. the payment, the cost of having full-time staff doesn't make financial sense be for the club. the shared public access with the rowing club. they are open to the public. it will be access to the public for these clubs. similar services the showers and access to the beach and the bay.

>> i am curious. there are two similar clubs with two similar programs side-by-side? >> yes. >> do they have the same types of amenities? one has a weight room, did you say racquetball or handball? >> yes. >> showers. are they all the same? >> yes. does this club offer any discounted memberships to low income residents? >> there is not. the membership fee is $542 per year. it is a rate that is approved by the rec and park commission. they have a senior rate.

i don't have that with me right now. >> i saw it comes out to about $45 per month. for just like they have and i understand that you have the day pass for $10, limited to certain days. just curious because, you know, for a lot of families, particularly low income, $542 is out of their reach. if they wanted to -- it sounds like an they have a senior rate. is that something rec and park or the dolphin club thought about? i imagine looking at the numbers of people on day passes they probably -- i don't know how many return customers that they

had. some of them would take advantage of discounted membership rate if provided. that is something that given the fact that they are getting below market rate and long-term lease. i support it. it is a wonderful thing with a wonderful tradition. i am asking the question about low income membership opportunities. >> dominica from supervisor sevfannie's office. -- stefani's office. they are contemplating a low income rate in these times. i know at least from both clubs i believe the dolphin club, too, but i can't say for certain has offered covid hardship waivers.

this is off the lease that had been previously approved in both clubs. they are sister clubs and offer parallel, almost exactly the same services. they do operate on two distinct leases. it is something that they are both more seriously contemplating. i am not sure why it was never included in the lease terms themselves. >> we are happy to bring your concerns back to the club. >> chair haney: i guess what i would like is a commitment for the club to come back or rec and park to come back with a

proposal. we are approving the lease, and i want to approve this lease. i certainly would like to see some movement on that. i just reached out to supervisor stefani directly. i am glad her staff is here. maybe that is something i can talk about with her office and work with her and see if that is something that we can effectuate. i don't think it is anything that was offered. for those attendees if there are any and given the number of people that come there for day passes that would take advantage of a membership at discounted rate. >> supervisor, i wanted to reiterate it is the rec and park commission that approves the

fees. if there were changes we would take to the commission. >> of course. maybe you could do that. anyway i will follow up with supervisor stefani and her office to see if we can make this happen. on supervisor haney's route on treasure island they have a program about boating and take kids from all over the city to a school district to teach about getting on the bay. it seems like this is a phenomenal program opportunity and we want to make sure that as we look at everything through equity lens that we would push them and provide this opportunity for everybody. when you think about club

membership, $45 per month to a lot of people that is a great rate. for a lot of families they can't afford it. something to think about. i thought i would bring that up today once i saw that. it seems like a phenomenal program. i am too chicken to get in the bay at 51°. supervisor stefani will say come down here and swim in the bay with me before you make these kinds of suggestions. thank you. >> the bla report on this? >> yes, this proposed ordinance would approve a new lease of the dolphin club in the city. with the market rate determination that would typically be required for such a lease of city-owned property.

the dolphin club is non-profit membership organization operating a clubhouse. the original lease expired in june. this replaces that lease. that is terminated ormes early -- it is terminated early to be amortized over the duration of the new lease. on page nine we show the dolphin club is responsible for maintenance. this provides 10% revenue share as part of the rent to the city. it allows the club to designate an annual fundraiser which is city revenue share would decrease to 4%. this waives market rate that is required. this is reasonable because this is partially open to the public

on those three days a week for day pass for nonmembers. that is generally open to the public and not invite only as it is for some other similar club in the city. this lease is consistent. terms are consistent with the lease approved for southeast rowing club in 2019 by the board of supervisors. for that reason we recommend approval. happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. public comment, please. >> clerk: operations is checking to see if there are callers in the queue. if you wish to comment press star 3 to be added to the line to speak. if you are on hold continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted. that will be yourque to comment. first speaker, please. >> this is dianeual ton

speaking. our president is also on the line. i will go first because my line got unmuted. i want to say thank you. gratitude to rec and park and jackie for the work she has done with us and for us both on the lease pan also with covid. it was an extraordinary time and she did extraordinary work as did her partners at rec and park. i want to thank supervisor stefani as well as supervisor peskin, very actively involved in the waterfront and all of you supporting the work to rebuild the pier. thank you so much. supervisor safai, all of you are more than welcome to come to the

club. i would row you around so you could see what we do. let us know if you would like to come down. thanks. >> any more speakers in the queue? >> this is clint callen. i am jumping the gun here. the club president is also waiting to speak. i would reiterate what diane walton said. we are grateful for the opportunity to continue to be really good stewards of the

aquatic park ecosystem. we are book ended on the narrow portion of the beach with the south end club and the clubs collaborate remarkably well over a century and a half. club members can be seen picking up trash and cleaning up the beach itself. they are concerned about sea level rise. club members are putting in -- i think the budget is $2.75 million. that is going to get up to 3 or $3.5 million. that is about over 30 years about $100,000 each year to improve the facility and to meet the challenges of sea level rise and they continue to be a gateway to this great community and continue the tradition my

grandfather was part of. he started at ocean beach and wishes he discovered the sauna sooner than he did. we appreciate the opportunity to be heard today. >> thank you for your comments. mr. adkins, next speaker, please. >> i am the president. nice to talk to you. thank you so much for entertaining this. i would add a few things to what you have already heard. that is that the water is now 50°. i will take any of you who want to go swimming with me, but can people hear me? >> yes. >> thank you. the water is very cold right now. it is a marvelous club.

quick facts. 145 years this year. we have two wooden boats in the boathouse before the last pandemic in 1918 if that gives you an idea. i think you may know that dolphins were swimming in golden gate before the bridge was built. today we have 1800 members and we have had unbelievable growth spurt during the pandemic. members looking for a unique way of exercising and being part of the club and community. i think most everything is mentioned. i would add we do have financial aid set up. it began last year during the pandemic to help people who cannot afford to make monthly or annual fees. we have helped a number of our members get through tough times. we will continue that as part of trying to make our club very

accessible to people. we do have a youth swim plan program where we try to get young people in san francisco who might not have the means into the water to learn to swim. i would add that with a big thank you for hearing us out today. we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. thank be you. >> are there any more callers in the queue? >> there are no further callers in the queue. >> chair haney: public comment is closed. thank you for the folks that called in. that is cold water. i will take you up on it at some point. i appreciate and respect what you do to provide this

recreational activity for so many people. it is a great institution. supervisor mar. >> supervsor mar: i want to thank the club leaders and members for continuing to be such a uniquely san francisco historic recreational program here in our city out at the aquatic park. thanks to rec and park and staff and supervisor stefani. i support this. very positive for our city. i did have questions just more around the terms of the lease since this is a 25 year lease we are renewing here p.it looks like we are waiving market rate

rent determination for this lease agreement. replacing it with -- not replacing but the rent is based on a percentage of the revenue. is this similar to the terms of the lease with the dolphin swimming club in the current lease. >> yes, the current lease is 10% of gross revenues. >> what had that actual lease payment been on an annual basis under the current terms? pre-covid represent was

$75,869 in 2019. for fy20. represent was $82,076. we anticipate rent of around $80,000 in revenue. >> why are we waiving the market rate represent determination to have a better understanding of the city on how that rent payments under the lease structure compare to market rate? >> so the club is unique. the membership is open to anyone. there is no recreation and park commission required there is a nondiscrimination clause in membership application and by-laws. anyone with access to the club as member or for public use.

because of this unique situation the market rate has been waived. >> club does maintenance and club has nos responsibility for maintenance or repairs of the historic building essentially. >> it sounds like that aspect of the agreement is really important as far as the most important community benefit is the dolphin club retains responsibility for maintaining and repairing and improving the facilities. that is years before this current lease was going to end so they can move forward quickly on that? >> absolutely correct. we are planning for the future.

>> chair haney: i am trying to understand why there is no market rate determination so we can have a better understanding. in effect this is a subsidy of a private non-profit organization to use our public facilities. there is significant community benefits. to understand how much that subsidy is. that would be helpful. we have never done market rate rent determination for this? >> no, we haven't. >> is that possible to do? this is a unique facility.

>> director of property management rec and park. the history on this and the south end rowing club is that they provide a very low cast low rate volunteer-run access to the waterfront. we have waived it. it contrasts with like the st. francis yacht club which is more restricted. it is run differently where we do get a market analysis of the rent. even then it is not -- that is a much bigger building. not significant lehigher. it is around $300,000 per year. >> correct. >> similar terms but not public access. that is based on and we just recently are in the process of getting another appraisal.

those are costly. the question is would it change our analysis because if we raise our rent then all we are going to do is force higher fees to be charged to people using this and past users. the goal and commission's goal with the properties is to provide access to the waterfront. you still have access at aquatic park but this is a unique feature with a shower and place to change clothes. the bla agreed with us on this and the south end rowing club leases. >> chair haney: thanks for that. i appreciate the work on this. my question wasn't so much why we are not charging market rent for this but why we haven't determined what that fair market

rent would be so we have a better understanding of the amount of subsidy until we get to understand whether that community benefits. >> i think the recent st. francis they don't have any requirements. it gives you a good base of the maximum it would be. that building is much bigger. that is many more amenities, full-service restaurant, all of those things. this building is nothing close to that in terms what it office. there is cost and time involved in respect that. we could incur those coasts and do it. i am not sure we will come out

with a different determination on this one. >> chair haney: i appreciate that. >> i understand. >> chair haney: i am very supportive of this partnership with the dolphin and swimming and boating club. i wanted to understand the terms better. it is a unique situation. thanks, chair haney. thank you for the questions, comments. i want to make a motion. >> real quick. i wanted to say i appreciated the leadership of the club being there. my questions were intended to put on the record the work they are doing and just to find out

more to hear them say they have financial aid packages working through covid is the great partner with the city will do. i will take them up on that offer. i will reach out or set up a time. i may not get in the water. it is great they encourage youth to participate as well. this is a phenomenal thing. i appreciate all of the hard work and supervisor stefani's office has done and the great and tremendous benefit the dolphin club is providing to san francisco. thank you. >> chair haney: i want to make a motion to move item i-44 full board with positive recommendation. i think i heard supervisor safai

say we will have a race in the water at some point soon. >> if you are ready, bring it on. you can join us. >> chair haney: can we have a vote on the motion to send this to the full board with positive recommendation. clerk on the motion to forward to the full board with positive recommendation. (roll call). >> clerk: we have three ayes. >> chair haney: please call item 5. resolution retroactively authorizing the department of children, youth and their families to accept and ex spend

grant in amount of $10 million from crank start to provide before and after-care programs for san francisco unified school district for years 2021-22 and 2022 to 2023. members who wish to comment on this call 415-655-0001. id24808654274. press pound twice. please dial star 3 to line up to speak. wait until you are unmuted to begin your comments. mr. chair. >> thank you. we have director sue here with us today. good morning. nice to see you all. do you have my slides?

>> i want to thank chair haney and members of the board in hearing this item for us. this is for us to move forward with accepting a crank start donation for before and after-school programs. this is a very quick background why this is happening. when schools re-opened in august of this year what we experienced was a lot of non-profit agencies had unlimited capacity to hundreds of children and youth that needed access to before, during, after-school programs. in further conversations and

review with cbos we realized they had limited funds to expand hours to the nonprofit community and as well as increase pay to support the needs of youth workers. these dollars will be used to help meet those challenges and barriers we were hearing from the cbos. >> this is a family foundation in san francisco to work with government and nonprofits to address mead yacht problems the community faced and underlying causes. interest in education and climate change. they were the primary funders

for the summer together 2021 effort last year. the proposed plan is to allocate all of the dollars that crank start is donating to give to cbos so they can do a couple things. one, hire more cbo staff so vacancies can cover the demand that our community is asking for. they can could be convert part-time to full-time so they can make it more appealing for both. or to offer competitive wages for staff. we will support hiring to

address the social emotional and overall well-being of the programs. as you have heard from community members and from parents young people are having a hard time transitioning back into the in person environment at school. more behavioral health specialists for support is crucial. finally we are asking we will be using these dollars to assist with transportation for young people to get to and from program the with limited capacity on public transportation and a lot of our young people not wanting to walk from school to program sites. they said that was a huge issue for them. of course, addressing the fact of space limitations.

cbos are able to tap into new dollars to increase their rental assistance or go and find additional space to run programs in. >> chair haney: appreciate your work on this and the plan. is there a bla report on this item? >> no, chair haney. >> chair haney: colleagues, i do not see hands raised. public comment, please. >> clerk: operations is checking. press star 3 now for public

comment. wait until the system indicates you are unmuted to begin comments. mr. atkins any callers? >> no callers in the queue. >> chair haney: i want to thank you, director and the mayor and the foundation. this is a much needed and appreciated contribution. the night out to provide additional full-time staff and cbos extending the hours and focusing on behavioral and mental health is critical. i appreciate the support and ability to really be there for our young people at a very

challenging time. [please stand by] >> this money flows to the department of youth and

family and is distributed from there, is that right? >> through the charity. yes. that is absolutely correct. >> so i have a question. and i'm not trying to be controversial. i'm truly am just trying to provide clarity. we just passed a behested payment piece of legislation and i know that there was one -- there is aspects of it that impact receiving grants or ongoing grants of support from nonprofits to the city. but in your opinion, how would -- how is that impacted going forward? could a donation like this, would something in this size and magnitude or even just the support from a nonprofit, is it impacted by the legislation that we have?

i'm working with supervisor peskin's office and we're looking at, we want to ensure that we're not cutting off our nose to spite our face. that we wanted to ensure that we were tightening loopholes but we also don't want to hurt ongoing giving that we all agree is extremely important to the city. so i just want your response as it relates to that. >> thank you so much for asking that question. i feel that -- so, number one, i think it is important to make sure that there's transparency and accountability across the bore. so i think that -- >> of course. >> [inaudible] having that leadership and doing that. because i think that is important to ensure trust in our public. there is a balance between, you know, setting up rules

and accountability structures with also make sure that city departments are able to do their day-to-day work. so, for me, my day-to-day work is to make sure that i sing the great -- sing the praise of the great work of our nonprofit agencies and to make sure, as many people in our community know about what they are doing and why we all need to support them. and i feel like that is the primary job that i have. and as i'm walking around, going around telling foundations such as crankstart and other foundations about the create work of our c.b.o.s, the great work of the city, it does, you know, i have to be now even more cautious about how i talk about our c.b.o.s and how i engage foundations and other potential givers in

their -- in donations. so there's that. and so that requires me to be more mindful and, at times, perhaps a little bit more limited in my requests. now i do believe that, similar to how we're doing this here that if a donation does come through, then having the donation come in front of the board to an accepted process works for dcyf because, at the end of the day, the donations at dcyf secured would go back out to your nonprofit agencies. i can't speak for other city departments so whether or not that works for them, because i know other city departments receive those donations to then support departmental work. you know, the hearing -- the item we just heard, it does sound like it was a combination of a

public-private partnership or public-public partnership where you have rankin park managing the space as well as a nonprofit agency coming in to run the space. so i don't know how the behested legislation impacts departments but for dycyf because we don't manage programs ourselves and we broker everything out, having things run through the accepted process works for us. >> i just wanted to put that out there because i want to make sure, as we review and

we continue those these great relationships going forward. anyway, thank you, mr. chair. thank you, director. thank you to the crankstart foundation. we're 100% in support of receiving this grant and the ongoing work with that nonprofit. >> thank you. supervisor mar? >> thank you. yeah. obviously i echo the thanks to you, director, mayor breed and supervisor roanen and crankstart foundation for this and for the partnership that has been so incredibly important for our city and our children and families. i had a question about what the impact of this $10 million for after school people and after school programs will have. so this is five million a year for this year and next year. and just going to increase the number of slots for before and after care and can

you talk about roughly how many additional slots this would fund and at what, you know, what level does this primarily elementary school and how the schools are selected? >> to the chair, thank you, supervisor mar for the question. so, let's see. yes, crankstart donation is amazing and yes, it is $10 million total and it is served across two years. so $5 million per year and we do that because we want to make sure that because we're talking about staffing we want to make sure that there is, at a minimum, some guarantee that people will have their jobs or their salaries are covered for more than one year. in terms of specifics of how many lots we are able to provide, i don't have that information at this time.

but i can definitely come back and share with you and the board members, that there is complications ins that. so, for example, if we are talking about increasing and part-time person to a full-time person, the nonprofit agency will have to move some of their people around to meet the needs of different groups of kids and so it's really a nonprofit trying to figure out what the best way to either increase their staff time or increase the number of groups that they're going to be serving. so we're still in the middle of planing that with our c.b.o.s. and then also, we're giving our c.b.o.s the opportunity to give them some of these dollars to rent more space so there is lots of that. so hopefully with the opportunity to rent more space, we will be able to

serve more. and then in terms of target population, this is really focused on the elementary schools, after-school providers. there are some middle and high school providers that have asked for additional resources and we will be working with them. but the dollars will go towards the elementary school students. >> thank you. and i'm sure like my colleagues, we heard a lot from parents this year about the lack of trouble accessing before and after school care so this is extremely needed and will be helpful and this funding is going to be additive to our existing funding for before and after school care. i remember the board in our add-back process, i think we added another $2 million for before and after school care

and this would be added reresources into what we've already been committing? >> absolutely. absolutely. this is to add so that c.b.o.s have the resources to expand. >> well thank you, again, director, for all of your work on this and so much more. thanks. >> thank you. thank you for those questions. and appreciations. did i already take public comments on this? it's been awhile. >> yes, mr. chair. we did hold public comment in closed -- >> ok. great. with that, i want to make a motion to move this item to the full board with a positive recommendation and could we have a roll call vote, please. >> the motion to forward to the full board with positive recommendation -- [roll call]

county of san francisco is not obligated for payment on the bonds so the resolution before you is for international schools, a california nonprofit benefit corporation and federal 503-c organization and approves the reissuances of tax purposes for certain revenue obligations issued through california enterprise development authority to which the city is a member. it's authorized to issue bonds and other forms of debt and so per the federal tefra regulations, we published a notice so far public hearing on the city's public notices website on november 16, 2021. the hearing was held by office of public finance through a toll-free teleconference on november 23, 2021 and no comments from any members of the public were heard or received through the public hearing process. the proceeds of these obligations has reissued and deemed to be loaned by california enterprise authority to ncis and a total amount not to exceed $11.4 million and would be deemed to finance or refinance

certain cost of certain educational and related facilities at 150 and 151 oak street and 289 south treat in san francisco. just to give you a little background on what that means, ncis was organized by chinese american international school and is a california nonprofit public benefit corporation. the ncif has organize add whole dose of real properties at 150 and 151 oak street and 289 south street. approval of the legislation will have no fiscal impact to the city and county because the obligations will be paid entirely from payments by the bar where there is no pledge being made to the city. if you have any questions, i'm here and i believe mr. levine is here as well from the school. thank you. >> ok. is there anything you want to add, mr. levine?

good afternoon supervisors. john lau with the office of economic and workforce development here with my colleague marissa from o.p.f. here to discuss the two items, both resolutions before you today, associated with the special tax district formation associated with the power station development project. we'll go to the next slide. so i'm going go very briefly. we both will. we're available for questions, obviously. my slides are simply to set the context of the items before you in this relationship with the power station project. and then marissa will talk about the specific contours and features of the tax district. next slide. quickly location of the underlying project. which was approved by the city in may of 2020. we're in the central waterfront just south of the

pier 70 project. east of illinois street between 22nd, 23rd and the bay. next slide, please. so, the project, as studied in our environmental analysis and the entitlements covered about 29 acres in total and now that included some property which the sponsor will occupy through the terms of a lease agreement and also approved by the city in may of 2020. through the terms of the d.a. and the [inaudible] will improve those spaces and an area currently owned by pg&e we expected to become available in the near future as part of a redesign and rebuild of those pg&e facilities along illinois street, which have reached the end of their useful life, as they say.

next slide, please. here is an all in one image for you. a significant program, over 2600 units and notingly the retention of both station a, complex the remnants of the old brick station a complex and the stack along the waterfront and notably this project will open up, improve and make accessible parts of the city's bayfront which have never been publicly accessible. next slide, please. i won't go through each of these, but we're very proud of the comprehensive and robust set of public benefits that we crafted in partnership with the project sponsor here. 30% affordable housing with no public subsidy is, of course, at the top of that list.

and so the formation of this special tax district as it's referred to locally was a contractial agreement between the city and the [inaudible] so that is an implementation of that element that lives in the financing plan of the development agreement. next slide. and this c.f.d. that's before you, again the project in total has the flexibility to accommodate and include this currently owned area by pg&e should it become available to the project so the c.f.d. along with the project entitlement itself includes that flexibility. and as i mentioned because the project is improving and maintaining port lands along the waterfront, the c.f.b.

itself also includes what's called a contingent services tax that should the future h.o.a. or master association ever default on that obligation, we the city have a means to recover the funds necessary to improve those lands at no cost to the port. i'll hand it over to marissa. thank you. >> thank you, john. marissa with office of public finance. per the development agreement, the board approved back in 2020, the city is now introducing this legislation to allow for the formation of a special tax district and ability to bond against revenue in the future. in the legislative packet is a document called the rate and method apportionment or r.m.a. which lays out the levels at which two taxes could be levied within this district. the primary one is the facilities tax and the secondary one would be the contingent services tax, which john just spoke about. so revenues from the facilities tax are expected

to be leveraged for future bond issuances during the anytime which the district is in existence. not to exceed endebtedness limit is $800 million with an additional 63 annexation which john referenced occurred. in the development agreement, it's laid out for the developers able to utilize kind of a first traunch of the bands in other words to support the financing of the development itself. so that time period is either going to be 42 years or at the time which those first bonds are repaid whichever is sooner. after that period, there will be a conversion year in which from that period forward, the city is able to utilize this revenue and bond against it should we choose to support a variety of different uses, notably future sea level rise and shoreline improvements. on the site, you can see the level of the tax rates during the time of the developer

phase. and it's expected to generate about $5 million and fiscal '22 dollars or 5.3 if that annexation occurs. after the conversion year t rates would drop down to acknowledge the end of the development activities and are expected to be about $3.3 million in fiscal 2022 dollars. the services tax needs to be implemented. these are the rates at which it would be to generate around $740,000 a year. again, in fiscal '22 dollars.

i won't read through all of this, but this is calling out the eligible uses for proceeds for each of the taxes, notably you will see on the contingent services tax that it would pay for maintenance, operations of the improvements that are predominantly on port property and part of that lease agreement. we're also able to use the revenues to support bond-related administrative expentses. so, forming ago special tax school district a two-step process for us. what's before you stood our first legislative packet, including the resolution of intention to form the special tax district and the resolution to incur bond endebtedness in the future. we're also kindly asking that the chair could make an amendment to the resolution of intention to form the special tax district to put in a specific time for the public hearing. that time is currently a blank on the resolution as it is before you and we'd like to insert 3:00 p.m., please, on march 8. and then later this month, we expect to introduce our second legislative packet which will include the rethrewsing form the special tax district, to hold a special election and an ordinances to levy the tax system itself. so with that, we'd like the thank committee for their time and kindly ask for your approval of these two resolutions and the packet before you and are happy to answer any questions you might have.

>> thank you. appreciate the work on this. this is a very exciting project that is going to contribute significantly to our city and thousands of units of housing and really, you know, vice president a mixed use, beautiful neighborhood on the waterfront which i think all of us will benefit from. it's exciting to see even just the sketches of it again what it's going to look like in the future. this is a critical part of being able to national convention happen. do we have the b.l.a. report on this item? >> no, chair haney. we don't report on special tax districts. >> thank you. why don't we go to public comment?
