chairperson chu: supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: are we hitting that mark on all of our trades? and what is the fluctuation of between the trades on that mandate? >> we are not hitting the mark on all of them. we tend to be doing better with laborers, operating engineers, and partners. we tend to do less well with -- and carpenters. we tend to do less well with specialized trade. or welding, it is hard to get into that. there are traits that we need to do better on. i would be happy to hear from rhonda specifically on something we could add to that. >> good morning, supervisors. we had 153 total hires for our first-year local hire. and as just a bid, 73 were on puc projects. the majority of those new hires went to labor this time. that has a lot to do with the mix on the projects more than anything. as we move forward a your to and have more diversity of projects, the year two is where we have the largest dollar allocation for the project. he will see that branch out. the mix that is reported here is not out of th

-- chairperson chu: >> kelly pretzer. office of workforce development. i am here to give background on the parcels and detailed information on the overall sources and uses for the project, as well as a preview of what tasks we have yet to complete. for a brief overview of what i will be covering, octavia boulevard is a complex project which draws on many departments. the mayor's office of housing, and dpw, and planning. this has been divided into a conceptual part -- conceptual pockets. we will begin by looking at contracts, then what is contained in those contracts. then, we will discuss the sale of parcels. we will then extract those items which will be coming before you in the future. not long ago, the central freeway was a double decker structure. it extended across market street, headed north. the central freeway was badly damaged in the 1989 earthquake. the form of its replacements the dish reduced structure took many years and a ballot measures to decide. we will start by discussing the various voter initiatives, ordinances, and contracts which ha

chairperson chu: this was brought to us by supervisor solagu -- olague. we will wait a moment and let her know so she can make opening comments. thank you very much. we have called item 13, which is the progress on the octavia boulevard project, central freeway ancillary projects, and disposition of central freeway access parcels. we skipped items 9 and 10 to allow the public to speak on item 13 first. supervisor olague, do you have opening comments? supervisor olague: i have been involved with the octavia boulevard plan since sitting on the planning commission. because of this involvement, i have been concerned about the progress of the visions and goals. today's hearing is to bring a level of transparency to the progress, especially the sales and development of the remaining parcels and the ancillary projects. when i first took office, the sale to the boys and girls club race many issues about the timeline. many of the questions arose from the inconsistency of the specific sale with the octavia boulevard plan goals. the board amended the parcel agreemen

chairperson chu: that is good news. we are moving quickly. colleagues, if we can't i know there is an agreement with regard to the budget analyst recommendation -- if we can, i know there is an agreement with the regard to budget analyst recommendations. can we take that first? supervisor avalos: you have a final executive lease, which is good to hear. but it is impossible to approve the lease separate from the improvements. that is where we do not have certainty about how we will cover those costs. to what extent are you able to move in without the tenant improvements come off or is there movement in that area? >> if i can clarify on the execution of a lease, it is executed by the landlord delivered to the city pending the board authorizing it. just to clarify. the good question about bifurcating the base lease from the tenant package. the challenge that we have is that for the project to move forward and our timeline to be met, we need to engage in design and construction services team from hudson pacific. the ownership needs to have confid

chairperson chu: a few more speakers. any order is fine. >> good afternoon. peter cohen, with the council of community housing organizations. i want to thank you for having this hearing. it gives us an opportunity to retell the story that has 12 years of history, and understand where we are and how we got to where we are. there is a piece of this that is important to emphasize. octavia boulevard was built early on, and stimulated a lot of investment and activity in the hayes family. the money, primarily, for that boulevard, came from affordable housing money to buy those parcels up front. that was $18 million of the advance money from the affordable housing fund to allow that early stimulative investment. i want to show you a memo in 2009 from staff at a we w d -- oewd, rich hillis. there was an important provision for what you can see in this analysis. they anticipated it would be around $13 million of funds back to affordable housing. this is the projected surplus from the land sale proceeds. i see from the presentation now, because of recalculation, it is

chairperson chu: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is jason anderson. i am with the hayes valley neighborhood association. this is put our organization in an awkward position, and i want to think supervisor-- thank supervisor olague for calling this hearing. our neighborhood has a long tradition of supporting sustainable transportation investment. there was a compact made when the freeway was removed that there would be investment in traffic measures and improving transit, and so forth. muni is bogged down in miserable congestion in that area. something needs to get done. our organization also has a long history in supporting affordable housing, including backing parcel g, octavia court, and working with the mayor's office of housing on 55 laguna. there is a bit of a disagreement within the different city agencies, with the ta insisting that all the proceeds go to transportation, and specifically to repaving van ness. at the same time, there is this true-up. if that is owed to affordable housing, we need to respect that, and we need to find money elsewh

chairperson chu: we have to take a break and then we can take public comment before we act on the item in any case. perhaps, we can do is go on to recess for half an hour and then return at 12:45 p.m. and then in the ensuing time, the department of environment can work with us to see what would be a good solution we are not sure whether it is necessary to have that additional $300,000 in additional improvements. i think there is a lack of desire to want to see it amortized over the rent. and to see it fund raised a few years down the line to pay for the amortization of improvements from a few years ago, i think he will have a harder time fund- raising for it than you would in the beginning. let's have a quick conversation offline about that and then we can decide on the item later. colleagues, if we can, we have already taken the recommendations from the budget analyst with agreement. withh supervisor chu: welcome back to the budget and finance the full committee meeting. we're just coming back from recess. we want to pick up where we left off, talking about the department of environme
