as you know, this is a binding legal contract between the city and cpmc to codify these as well as to lay and remedies and damages if either party fails to live up to the commitments. once adopted by the board and signed by the mayor, these agreements can only be modified by further board action. at this point, i would like to turn over to barbara garcia from the department of public health, who will go over some aspects of the agreement. >> thank you, ken. good afternoon, supervisors. i am with the department of health. the health commission and the department of public health have been engaged on these issues with cpmc for more than four years, so in order to advise the city, i thought was important to build upon the senate began work already done over these years by the health commission and the blue ribbon panel. so today, both myself and my deputy director, colleen, will talk about the issues around health care, but i wanted to provide a review of the history to illustrate the context of the agreement and then describe the key health care provisions on that. it is important to kn

there, and we realized that one of the things that had occurred in new orleans was a breakdown between city government and the neighborhoods, and such that when the hurricane hit and the flooding happened, so many people left the city, and then they did not come back. because there was no relationship between local government and many of the neighborhoods and many of the residence. that lesson burned in my mind for a very long time. so it is that much more important, general, that when you put this fleet we together, that you made a disaster preparedness a thing -- the inme vision to the celebration of our armed forces. you have not only touch our city government, but you have helped me touch every neighborhood in this city. that is what we need to do in all of our cities. so thank you very much, general, for your leadership on this. thank you.

now, he says that the reason it was done today is because negotiations between city officials and protestors have broken down. that there is no response to the e-mails, no call backs from city officials. that's why they decided to do it today. but we talked to one protestor this morning here from the beginning and says he feels betrayed by city official. >> i personally have been working really hard with dpw for one, mohammed, working with the board of supervisors and you know, we had an agreement to try to work together and this when these kind of things got to a point they would come to us and tell us and we would do what we could to fix it. and there was no communication, just a full raid. >> reporter: a live look again here at justin herman plaza. earlier when we got here around 3:30, they had broken off or they had blocked market street from justin herman plaza to drum street where the hyatt hotel is. it looked like they may have taken the yellow tape away from justin herman plaza but i'm told we are not allowed to go into that campsite just now but a lot of action here over 50 people a

he says that today was the day to do that raid because he believed that negotiations between the organizers and the city officials had broken down to the point where there was no communication between the two groups. so what's next for "occupy sf"? i talked to several protestors. they said it's not ending. [ signal breakup ] >> all right. we lost gil there but what's next? apparently they are going to have a rally today at noon and we'll see what happens next for them. but it is causing some traffic problems in the city. gianna has the latest. >> if you are commuting this morning into san francisco, be advised a couple of closures to report. first off market street is completely shut down between stewart and spear. you can see here live pictures from chopper 5. no word yet as to when those lanes will reon. again, all this clean-up is taking place lots of activity there on scene. embarcadero also affected reduced down one lane in both directions and again, still no word as to when embarcadero will be open, as well. we'll continue to keep you updated but there may be delays around the area. also may affec

me first ask ken rich if you'd like to provide a presentation on the status of negotiations between the city and cpmc. thank you. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: this cpmc development has profound implications for healthcare jobs and employment, housing, transportation and our neighborhood's quality of life and the relationship also of big corporate decision making to the public accountability in san francisco and the magnitude of project is huge so it demands extensive public review process that i'm glad we're having here today. also, from the 60-plus community-based organizations that are part of a coalition that's been asking for transparency for this process, i kind of am hoping that this will be a beginning point so that stakeholder groups involved in the neighborhoods throughout our city but especially around the development have a key role at the table in making sure that we have strong community benefits that emerge from this big development. cpmc's project will deeply affect important aspects of life and health in all of our neighborhoods, so it's throughout san francisco for the ne

the balance between city-wide interest and district residents sometimes are not as far as people think. >> once again, the city is faced with tough budget decisions, including where to make cuts and where to increase taxes and fees. how will you approach these difficult choices? supervisor chu: we know that our budget deficit is a significant one. at the moment, blooms are around $380 million -- at the moment, it looms around $380 million. we could not meet that gap. i think the city needs to take a balanced approach, and if you take a look at previous years, we have taken a look at things like where are fee revenues, what do those look like? where are the changes in other revenue pictures, whether it is transfer tax or hotel tax or other things that help to improve the picture. in addition to that, how is it that we can really control some of our expenses? i think that in order to address the $380 million budget deficit, we really have to take a look at both sides, revenue side as well as the cost side of things, and i think there are certain things that the city can do right now that

this item is approval of a lease between the city and the city college. it will allow the city college to maintain and control with certain provisos for a term of 75 years. it is estimated the cost will be approximately $12 million over the term of the lease. it is reflecting much in liability -- the city college accepts that responsibility for the 75-year term. there is the gateway that you saw in the rendering. social and entertainment areas with a vending and retail uses that include a molehill vendors or a farmer's market. supervisor mar: mobile vendors like food trucks? >> likely in conjunction with farmers' market to activate the plaza. it is anticipated the plaza will be completed in 2015. this is consistent with motion 17775 of the plan that was adopted on december 4 of 20,000 -- in 2008. it was adopted by the board of supervisors in 2009. the sfmta approve the process in their resolution. and the board of trustees has unanimously approved this as well in a meeting on june 20, 2011. the apartment -- the apartment found it consistent -- all of thes

it is part of the basic deal between the city and even authority where if they spend $55 million, the city will transfer a long-term lease. we will also ask the commission to consider an even relocation plan. this goes to the many tenants. we are going to hold the america's cup and provide -- these need to be moved to another location. this is a requirement of state law. the event relocation plan has been shared with tenants so that they have ample opportunity to review it. then, there would be also endorsement by the port commission of a resolution of an intention to form an infrastructure refinancing district. this is a lot like the redevelopment area. it enables the capture of tax increments to fund public improvements on the waterfront and is a requirement of the host and a new agreement. finally, there would be concurrent approvals associated with the cruise terminal project that is planned and will be a major part of the america's cup village. there are a number of other city agencies that will act. i mentioned the planning commission and earlier will certify the ceqa document.

city would receive 50% of the net sale or proceeds. there is a potential that would be reviewed. and the revenue in the future will be shared between the city and caltrans 4 specified street transportation and projects such as recreation projects. i will go right to our recommendations. the budget and legislative analyst cannot recommend approval of legislation because the sales price of too fine -- 2.5 million. less than a state it than the estimate its sales price. we might add that the property was previously approved by the board of supervisors ed market rate prices. the real estate division did not intend to elicit other agencies or developers to purchase the subject property or auction it to the highest bidder as is usual procedure. the workforce development not conduct a formal plan in process to determine the best use of the parcel. the agreement does not require the boys and girls club too have a certificate of occupancy. the agreement does not require development of residential units. if commercial is available and this does not require the boys and girls club to the city. after 30 years, if the property is sold, the boys
