people will climb if they can climb. you know this one is in. it is beautifulism know we need something for safety is there any other option within budget constraints that will not make it electric like it is not under construction >> now that is the immediate bandaid. we had a situation we had 30 kids climbing on temperature and you know it is slippery, right. it is slick polished metal. they could have fall koren down special cracked their skulls. we had to get something up really quick. but we are looking at a better option. but now we the first option of keep kids off this thing. >> makes sense. thank you. >> and adults, too. [laughter]. we saw children for the record. [laughter].

>> are there other comments by the commission on the director's report? may i ask for public comment on the director's report? those in person prosecute seed to the podium and fill out the information card. weer item 4. comments from those in person. no requests for public comment it is now closed. >> now calling agenda item 5 which the committee reports and committee matters for discussion. item 5.1 the civic design review report. and i'm introducing our chair abbie schnair to present the report on the civic design

review committee. >> thank you. president collins. [laughter] we reviewed two projects this past meeting. sf oshg term until throw west modernization the courtyard connector for c4c. phase 2 review. the project team reviewed the feedback during the review. and they shared ann mated walk through of the exterior. the project team explained the material choices and views for the 5 side facade and materiality samples. and commissioners comp

complimented the design you have the horse shoe. terminal 3 is at the end. it is how you connect this beautiful award winning design of the international terminal with the newly phased terminal throw. they have come up with a unique 5 side way of doing this. i will show you more and we'll discuss more once we go through phase throw. i wanted show you this arnmation. i think it is amaze when they have done. you violate administration building now the redo of the terminal itself of 3 and it will go to the c43 connector. yea.

you request see and watch it will go around it and you can get an idea of you know there it looks like a normal 4 sided but it is in the. it is a polyhead ron. and you can see what they are getting a look of terminal the arch way. which is -- ecose the international terminal. exactly. >> they have fins and they have

been careful with the fins in terms of which way they face. for the solar. >> exactly. incredible. yep. you got it. >> well thought out. >> you can -- helicopter view. >> yea. >> trying to give you a sense of you know in plan you will seat 5 side this is way you get the idea. i think that -- like it is invisibility. they did a terrific job. this area is the services the building and administration? the penthouse stuff is and then under is the passage way for the terminals and the upper part

is -- down. >> anyway employmented to show you that. and then the second project we did was -- the sfo westfield campus. and that one is was just a conceptual review this is a huge project will do over 10-20 years. and so the project manager shared an over view of the catch us team and plan. and the goals are to create a human scale and pedestrian or yenlded environment this . is over not where the terminals are. but this is where if you can show me the first one of the -- master plan? >> yea temperature is a slide. yea. not an animation.

anyway. so, as you can see you see where the terminal all that is. this is the westfield campus. and right now what they are doing is -- these are what go become to the first one. these other buildings the ones in blue. this is how more tell be complete. what they are trying to do, 674 was the first building this of done. mark design today and it was supposed to be that build and then the administration building is now at the terminal the second one. it was the two of them. since then.

they decided to expand the to the larger -- campus and really create a campus design vision to be a model aviation support campus sets the new standards for employee experience and efficiency and sustain ability and the public realm will serve the connective tissue. you also have the air train also has the westfield station. well is a way for people back and forth. >> exactly. thank you. so -- anyway. the commissioners encourage the design to soften the image of large scale with methods. we are talking about the 3 projects are basically a garage

that is -- sick 70 the yellow one well. and that will create a green court heart to the campus. commissioners when we were encouraging the design to soften the image the using a different materials and scale. and break up the massing to achieve this. and also.ed the team to contract levels of comfort for each employee working on the site and to consider the wind patterns to avoid creating the wind tunnels temperature is windy and as you -- open everything up you gotta make sure as you build you don't create those.

the other thing was that -- there is quite a bit of art enrich am that will happen because the buildings all together is a huge amount funding. we asked them to please. sit down -- with mary chu and go through more of a master plan. and create i master plan of public art for this campus. so. >> commissioner. is -- the museum in the museum back offices are they in 674? that's a completed building. >> yes. and i am not sure. gi think that is where we are.

there may be. trying to remember when we did the last tour through one. i will remember. to your point land scape is very important in a campus. it is different than building the terminals. and so it is a fortunate get right early >> we encourage them to start wing on this so that the design of the building and the concept of the art works together and come together we know that the best public art done that is how it has been achieved. we have been i think we were very thorough in letting them know and they are in agreement. this garage they are building they are creative with coming up with the whole like large -- stair down to what will be the

catch us that can be like a stadium seating thing. they got this as part of it and being creative with how to make the parking structure and how you enter and exit it to become help to make that center part the heart of the campus. i'm intrigued where they will go with temperature other comments by the commission? >> i wanted to acknowledge the amount of work that commissioner schnair and the other members do. i sat in on the meeting ands it is a lot of work. [laughter]. those meetings are very long. i am so grateful and admire your service. thank you. >> thank you. >> move on to the west view.

>> i have completed my report. >> president collins? >> i wanted to also acknowledge commissioner schnair and the wonderful work that you have done. on this cdr committee. and taking it over with [inaudible] and you doe in and your energy is amazing. and you stay your mind is sharp the entire meeting. you don't ever pause. you can't, right. and you are on it. you are on it! and it is so impressive. i'm just say i can't thank you enough for what you have done with that committee. >> thank you. [applause] >> and also [inaudible] there is, lot of visibility in this committee it is intersexting with many departments. one of the things that we want to do is to facilitate the design process and not to be

burden some on it. so, it is not without great notice that it is so important to meet quorum and be there and have done the work. for all ofow that committee, you know we really greatly appreciate the time that you spends in advance. so that00 autodepartments that we are working with are looking forward to. the interaction. that -- you know is something that takes time to develop that culture. the entire committee you know is a product of leadership. thank you very much for each one. you. [applause] >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this agenda item? you will see a time and are

receive a 30 second warning before where you are time conclouds comment from those in person anyone withhold like to comment on the current item? seeing none, it is now closed. >> in this wonderful not competition but cooperation of committees, now we goat go to va. i'm introducing our committee chair suzie ferris for visual art's committee report >> thank you, president coli believes. no not competition a cooperative. but that said we had a short meeting and not as impressive as the last presentation. but none the less the work is something we are very excite body what we review. report for witness stand january 29 the visual art's committee. we reviewed the design and budget of pier 27 cruise terminal project.

revised the design, based on the modular construction of pole carbonate tiles the design allows for batch production and assembly and permits more dynamic form cantilevering from front to back. you see that in the visual on the right side. this design also enables repair or replace am in the event of surrender limp or damage. . use the similar the same materials that are used on our bus stop designs. the events on the top. don't fade. they are -- easy 3 buffed for scratching, scraping and can be cleaned with spray paintful each tile since they are not connected can be replaced if

needed as needed. following a budget analysis the port is can be thing 61,000 plus a waiver of port fees to make this project possible. this couples with savings found in within the budget equalling 98, 890. contract increase restored the artist fee of 20% of the original amount and the project contingency. do the -- both -- price increases in the materials as well as fabrication. sometimes when the protects stretch on they can increase. that is the factors this went in this increase. and again thank you very much to the port for stepping up. they wanted make sure that the decrease in furnldzing did not affect the projects that it was

small and that great space they have at pier 27. making sure it fits the space and appropriate. and it is going to be an art jewel added to our city. with that, i conclude my report for the visual art's committee unless there are comments or question sns >> any comments or questions from the members of the commission. why one comment is this we should not only praise the port and our staff but the artists. they stayed very engaged and involved it is an important commission. it is an enunciation of arrive nothing san francisco. thousands of people will see this piece. so, thank you for everyone and putting the resources behind how important this location is. yes, thank you presidency collins, this is so true the staff definitely did the work

needed to coordinate that with the pier and with the artist. thank you to anna theresa for being open and flexible to reworking the design. yes. thank you. other comments from the commission. commissioner beltran >> thank you. i wanted to mention for commissioners not thereupon that the upon project supports a local artist my formy graduate student at san francisco art institute. and how become the local art stars with her career. so, all around, a fantastic project to give our local san francisco based artists an art opportunity like this. >> no other comments. are there public comment on the visual art's committee report?

weer item 5.2. your time will start when you begin speaking you will see a timer on the podium. is there anyone who would like to comment on the current agenda item? >> no questions, public comment is now closed. >> now calling item 5.throw.1. which is the executive committee report of i'm chair of the executive committee and my report will be brooefr. january 15 issue 2025 the executive committee meeting started off with the report by the director of the commission to the committee. we had one important matter before our committee meeting. there was a robust conversation on the budget. which will be presented short low with our recommendation for approval. that is the report of the executive committee. >> are there comments or

questions discussion on the executive report? is there public comment on the executive committee report? public sxhent now closed >> thank you. i'm going to call item 5.3.two of the art's commission draft report. and i'm introducing our deputy director of finance and administration. sarah holbeck to present the

item. >> good afternoon president collins. vice president shiota and commissioners. thank you very much for your time and attention this afternoon to this important matter. i'm sarah deputy director of administration. i would not be remiss not to acknowledge the work of kevin kwon and the, counting staff. preparing these materials. thank you very much. we will try to get to the right -- wrong way. >> presentation summary. first we start with a discussion of the budget process and time line. and we will talk about the budget climate and the instructions this we received from the mayor. in preparing this budget subnigz mission and touch on revenues, speak a bit to the matter of hotel tax performance. as you know is important. to our budget. and then we'll talk about

expenditure and it is capitol budget of so, we will proceed. so, as you know we are currently in the department phase of the budget process. we are required to conduct two public meetings a part of this process. this is the second of those two. we will submit or budget in late february. the operating budgetful capitol budget request already submitted. and will talk about what was included in this budget in more detail later in the presentation. the mayor interacts with all departments in preparing his budget. which has been submitted to the board of supervisors by june first for you our departments for some of the city's larger enterprise funded departments may first time line and of course the board of supervisors considers the budget.

make changes they may make and ultimately a budget is passed. in june and signed by the mayor in late and july or august. all of that to say we are the beginning of a process now. and you know given the climate which we will talk about on the next slide, this is going to be an interesting challenging several months. as you read in the news, the city is facing a budget deficit of 876 million dollars over the next two fiscal years. ultimately, there are a number of factors that have been contributing to this deficit. but at the most basic level it is a matter of expend tours growing faster than revenue. city's major revenues have been

under pressure so they are growing at a more moderate pace than they have been or not growing at the momentful as well as the fact that the last few budget cycles the budget was balanced based on the use of one time revenues. in hope so of moderating the affects of the deficits in those years and hopeful leave giving the city time to grow out of that. we have not stheen robust growth and the one time source are exhausted or soon to be. so we near a position of having to make difficult choices and as you see here the directive that the mayor's office gave to department in preparing budget this is year is to reduce on going general fund spending by 15%. both fiscal year and used the word permanently relating to the

expenditure reductions. the directives included assessment of community based organization grant allocations for efficiency. reexamining all service and nonpersonnel expenditures and you may have seen a press release the mayor released i think on the ninth of the saying stopping all new programs and contracts and noted here hiring freeze. so, we are hoping that is more of a hiring pause. but at this time we are waiting for feedback from the mayor's office we understand will be forth coming in the near future. so. with that, the revenue picture we have here, you will see our budgeted revenues and i will

walk briefly through what the major sources as many of you are most of you are not all of you are familiar. largest source is hotel tax under prop e. we have a small general fund allocation that is used to cemetery the art's commission'sarctivities. we have a different presentation of the information this year to try to be more transparent about that general fun allocation. becausey will see on the row charter allocation, this is general funds support. but it passes through the art's commission and on to the symphony pursuant to charter section i forget. the charter. . so -- that is not money that we retained for our uses and thought it was more clearer to all of us and the public this

really that is what is happening there rather than one thing to a single line item. one time source exhaustd and crediting changes the holing time one time line item fund balance from prior years over performance in hotel tax. we were able to use that in fiscal 25 we have a small amount. in fiscal 27 we don't have that as a source and innerdepartmental services is revenue from other departments and work ordered or transferred to us in a manner to carry out

work for them in many cases that is public art work. the grant line is revenue from grant source. and -- the bottom section here again this is budget requests that were reflecting. we hope for these amounts revenue. i will talk more about that on a future slide. >> as we talk before we get into talking about ecpend tours i wanted to pause on the recent hotel tax performance. and when woo have experienced it affected how we chosen to approach the budgeting of

expenditures from the hotel tax revenue in this budgetful what you are seeing here are the red embarrass represent revenue budgeted. the gray embarrass represent the revenue actual collected. you see in each of the last 3 years revenue was a level higher than what was collected. and so -- for fiscal 26. this has not happened what this set of bars is representing is what was in the budget for the second year of the important budget cycle. you see that was optimistic when now the base budget for fiscal 26 a 2 million dollars difference. there is uncertainty how the

hotel tax will perform. you see the hospitality sector slowed down and not quite achieved the. hopes that were reflected in prior years. in the last couple of fiscal years we we are many of our grants are not sized until spring. there are application roeszs in the fall. they are assessd and awards recommended to the committee and the full commission in spring. in october they were revising down the hotel tax projection and ghaen january. january/february. another reduction to the annual revenue collection and again at

the 9 month report in march. that's the trendful as a consequence. what you will see on the budgeted expenditure slide is a line item you have not seen before. we have broken the expenditures we have community investments. once again this allocation -- the charter -- section -- did not have that in the footnote. administration this is the new line item you will not have seen in the past this is to create a

buffer with what we expect expect program to spends and the budgeted revenue such that if we go through a process like the last year or two where -- the forecast is something today. but the time we get midway to next fiscal year and this revenue is not performancing up to the mate in the budget, we'll not have to community a lower amount of grant funding to our community but will have already accounted for that as we go through fiscal 26 we are confidence the revenue budgeted will be collected we can program the funds its is a buffer or cushion against downward revisions to the forecast. otherwise, so where that shoes up is in that top line you see the investment. operating budget.

. is projected to be significant upon next year and the following in fiscal 25 that is as a result of the hotel tax not being the forecast itself or budget lower. partially as a result of this setting aside of portion of that revenue or projected revenue and in is not all of -- the community investment program. there were general fund grant activities not being receiving funding for those in going forward. i would like to nev. -- the decrease in public art and civic

direction is reflective of the ending of the revenue recognition for melon grant. this will have been recognized as of fiscal 25. grant period conditions to fiscal 26. that is part of that larger decline. the other item the public art -- as we talked about in the committee meeting that only captures the portion of the public art budget that is budgeted as operate nothing our budget most of the art enrichment activity talked about in of the prior agenda item is the art enrich am funds budgeted in other departments capitol budgets. they are not reflective the small number of 1 and a half million dollars for public art collection is in the reflective

of the public art enrichment work we do or the staff that support that work. other departments are carrying out programs that funds that art work when we look at the recent throw-4 years worth of ecpend tours in the art enrichment and public art program funded it is averaged in the throw envelope million dollars a year. a question was how much do we have this we are managing and electronicing represents the art work and conversation components of those projects and it is about 20 million dollars. we have a system which when we
