and if it can be more than developer fees, developer fees don't cut it in this state of construction, construction is much more expensive than it used to be also. this is a main concern around this project. i think it's a beautiful project when i look at the photos of it, and love it's 40% and i commend you on it, and also don't want to leave the residents high and dry when their students need to be educated. just wanted to bring up that concern. i would look for a more robust private-public partnership, looking forward to entertaining more and more as we are looking at the expenses of these buildings being much more expensive to build now. in this climate. thanks. >> thank you. excellent points. >> thank you, supervisor fewer, great to have former school board members and it is true, we focus so much on building, build build build, incredibly important but we have to make sure we have the infrastructure and support for the new residents that are coming into san francisco and that we have schools and child care centers in place. so the families have somewhere to go and don't leave, no

about to be developed. as we move closer and closer and we know more and more about the projects that from being developed in this geographic area further and further down the pipeline, we would annex those areas into this c.f.d. by creating additional improvement areas or having land owners opt in to join improvement area one. so, the improvement area one, i'll show you a map covers four properties and then the future annexation is the remainder of the project area. we already talked a little bit about the rate method of apportionment. as i mentioned before, we'll be levying or proposing to levy both the facilities tax and the services tax. and all of this will be used to fund either public improvements or services that were authorized consistent with the d.d.a. and the financing plan. and our overall bonded endebtedness limit is $6 billion. so if you look at this map, you can see this is a map of candlestick point and there are four kind of lightly shaded grey buildings. those are -- oh, my gosh. it is so

other is developer payments and grants, our primary source of other is developer payments which are developer reimbursements on their behalf and we have a small number of grants. and property tax that we use to fund any of our enforceable d.o.f. enforceable approved obligation and rttpf addmin is the amount of property tax we are allowed to use by law to administer the agency. so, as you recall, the amount of property tax that we are able to use to fund the agency is limited by law to 3% of the prior year's nonadman distribution, less the savings from two years prior, identified in a prior period adjustment. so, what that really means kind of in layman's terms, every year we look at the amount of rops, the amount of property tax we requested and then line by line at the amount of property tax we expended and then look at any differences. those differences we hold on to rather than returning to the city, and they are debited off our next rttpf request. the thinking being, if you are requesting, say, $10 million and you have $3 million in hand, then you only need 7 million additional to get you

[bell rings] >> thank you. mr. martin. >> fernando martin, council of community housing organizations. first of all, commend you all for supporting and working with this project with the port and the developers and creating a project that is going to be 40% affordable. it's a landmark here, and really important, and not just that it's 40% affordable, but 40% affordable across a range of income levels. i think one of the things we hear a lot, this project is going to be affordable up to, whatever, up to 120% a.m.i. and you see the affordable units. 120% a.m.i. a big accomplishment. and you will hear us talking about this the broken record, a need to fit jobs to housing. and in this time of a housing cri

i wanted to mention developer capital is a key funding source. port has the ability to invest in the site and receive a return on that investment. we also have proceeds from land, that is, for parcels we select to use prepaid lease revenues. those would be a lump sum payment for -- to help finance us through the infrastructure costs that we know are coming through the financing plan. that concludes my presentation on the infrastructure financing district item and we're available to you for questions. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just want to ask the same question that i asked last week. i think it's important for the members of the board to hear this as well. you know, one of the major concerns with these big projects, like treasure island and shipyards and park merced is that we have to build the infrastructure. we ask the developer to front the financing for the infrastructure that's associated with building this new neighborhood. the things that people often don't think about, but the horizontal development, so the sewage, the lights, th

this is smart development.ose of us living in the area yearn for this and realize how important this is to our overall well-being. thank you again, commissioners, for allowing me to speak. >> thank you. may aguirre. >> good afternoon, president boston marathon don, good afternoon commissioners, director forbes, and members of the public. my name is aguirr 1ed. the parks alliance is the largest park organization serving san francisco's diverse parks and open spaces. we currently sponsor and support a network of over 200 groups, leveraging their ability to develop and maintain creative spaces to maintain in this city. the san francisco parks alliance raises millions to sustain parks and open spaces. today i'm here to -- in the parks alliance, we believe the creation of the.

treasure island development authority. footballederable self-storage has been in the sefm storage business for 19 years and is interested in operating services on treasure island. project staff at affordable storage has identified building 257 located on avenue e between 9th and 11th streets as a potential site for storage facility. over the past 15 year, 257 has been and continues to be an atractive [inaudible] on treasure island. it's an attraction and a haven for squatters, copper thieves and various other trespassers. additionally, s.f. fire department has extinguished three fires that the location within five years. tida has expended considerable resources with these issues. as part of the authority and one treasure island second amendment agreement that was just previously approved and as we stated previously, the hazardous materials within building 257 will be abated through its pilot construction training programme. building 257 and its adjacent land is in major phase three of the development project and, as a resu

alaskans are the best positioned to determine responsible development. today, my administration filed a petition with the u.s. department of agriculture to undertake a rule-making process to restore the exemption to the region. [ applause ] over the past three years, our state corporation has invested over $425 million in alaska businesses and projects. ada has leveraged over $1 billion in private investment and supported the creation or retention of over 3200 permanent private sector jobs and over 3,000 construction jobs. almost every time i visited the late governor hickles' office, he would show me on his globe how asia with its close proximity to alaska is where our unlimited opportunities lie and how right he was. we are assembling a multi-industry trade mission to asia this year to advance other opportunities with our largest trade partners. we are also working to begin direct flights from asia to alaska. this will help us to attract more of the hundred plus million asian vacationers each year to further enhance our extraordinary tourism industry.

he is the director of development. these two partners work together and collaborate at the deep basis of that work they do is an important thing called money. they both have to deal with that. more importantly, they deal with developing the relationships that can sustain and support the catholic mission. this means individual relationships. so rod, you are director of development. maybe you can define for us, what development means. >> at its core, development is about relationships, as you touched on. i like to define it as creating and deepening relationships between persons and a particular organization. fundraising is a little part of it. fundraising is a derivative. even that, i look at fundraising as giving people who have a relationship, the opportunity to invest in something that they care about deeply. >> that sounds great. how long have you been with the archdiocese? >> i have been with the archdiocese for about seven months. started in early june of 2017. >> i know you have been a great presence throughout t

costly to develop or hard to develop is very important. how do you intend to use that to expand the development in terms of new pharmaceuticals? >> as you know, the prv program provides an additional incentive for manufacturers to try to develop products for these purposes and so i think it's one of the tools that congress contemplated to try to address some of the challenges that we've already talked about that i mentioned which is that sometimes this isn't a typical market where you have the usual market based incentives to try to make the capital investments to develop these products. there's work going on to look at what impact the prvs have had. we've implemented the programs and seen responses come forward. sell them in a secondary market as a way to try to recoup some of the investment. >> on that same subject, i've done a lot of work on a disease called battens, which is an incurable disease of young people. i had a personal situation that peeked my interest in my district and i remained interested in that. it's a very difficult di

it's the right kind of development. that area is getting exciting, how it is becoming a pedestrians destination, so you guys have really thought that out. i understand as well that you're also paying the fee at the higher level, which is really nice. i'm great that i agreed to do that, and of course, he agreed to rebuild the stadium there on the lot there. we all appreciate it coming to fruition. >> chairman brinkman: director torres, any comments? >> yes. i'm a total giants friend. all my friends and relatives in los angeles hate me now, but i think this is an incredible project, but i wish you all well as you provide input to the stakeholders and just give us a world series. >> director rubke? >> i just have two quick questions. one is not specifically to this project, but kind of thinking about the series of projects along that area? and i brought this up when i talked about pier 70. we talked a lot in these plans about the forward thinking caltrain station, but i'm wondering if there's any plans about making the cal

but, of course, those developers and developers all across the state have to cut through the red tapend some people blame an environmental law called the california environmental quality act or ceqa. but this new study is blaming local governments at a time when the state group says hundreds of cities are behind on their housing goals. they say the progress for developers and builders should be streamlined from here on out. we'll see. in san francisco, jackie ward, kpix 5. >>> time for your "final 5." right now dozens of students from marjory stoneman douglas high school are in tallahassee to fight for gun control. president trump holds a listening session at the white house on school safety today. yesterday, the president signed a memo directing the justice department to develop regulations so that a ban -- there would be a ban on so- called bump stocks. >>> billy graham has died. word came this more that the 99- year-old died. his message and service to u.s. presidents from white house to bush earned him a nickname. >>> senator bob menendez could learn his fate tomorrow based on the

now, the plan would also change impact fees by the development square footage to encourage developersbuild more compact units and the plan would also reduce the amount of parking needed to build. now this bill follows others intended to spur development like the one from san francisco senator scott weiner that would bypass rules that limit building height near transit centers. and real estate experts say if you are near a bart station, chances are you're in the middle of a new building boom. >> investors look at walk scores now as a component to whether or not they want to fund or lend money to projects. >> reporter: under the san diego bill, 2372, cities would have the choice of whether or not they want to participate and actually encourage developers to go into these neighborhoods and build near transit centers. now, according to the bill, there is no taxpayer money at the state level needed for this so the bill does not provide taxpayer subsidies. reporting live here in san leandro, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. >>> it is 5:15 right now. let's check the roads and jaclyn, you are trac

so the city have developed an agreement with the giants to develop a project and before our actions related to the transportation of the project, i'm going to provide a broad context of the transportation negotiations and then invite fran weld who's the senior vice president of development for the giants to come up and share with us an overview of the development project as a whole in the various community benefits, and then i'll come back and discuss the particular transportation components that are before you for actions. and i'll also note that adam van der water from the office of workforce and development, and he'll be available for questions at the end. >> great. thank you, miss payne. >> last summer, you may recall, i came and gave you a presentation about the southern bay front negotiation framework, and just as a refresher, this is a coordinated negotiation framework to leverage investments from a series of very large scale development projects on the southern portion of san francisco's bay front to provide greater value in a coordinated set of community benefits than we might see

in other words, the industrial development of our continent. we are determined to ensure the realization of this so that our young people can stay and devote their great energies to the building of a great africa. i want to recount at this juncture the inspiring words of the american politician williams "destiny is not a matter of choice. it is not a thing to be waited for. it is a thing to be achieved." [applause] there are many amongst us who cannot accept that it is only who can engineer a transition in one generation the transition from property -- from poverty to prosperity. we are determined to do that in our generation in ghana and ensure that succeeding generations will not be victims or ponds of the global order. awns of theor p global order. this will chart a new development of freedom which will lift the long-suffering african masses out of poverty to the realms of prosperity and dignified existence. in conclusion, let me reaffirm the commitment of my government in ghana on standing shoulder to shoulder with the united states and the

and that's how development happens in this city. it starts with a study and then we build from that point on and on, developing facts that as you heard earlier from some of our public comment testimony that are not solid facts. this body transitions. supervisor yee will no longer be the supervisor. things get lost. i want to go on the record early. i believe avalon bay will create a lot of problems for us, those of us who have relationships in labor. many times our labor partners have come raising concerns that they haven't hired union labor to do the job. i'm talking something that is years down the line. but i just think that -- that funding -- that this is just not the right direction we need to go in and we need to re-evaluate. supervisor yee did a great job getting city college free. and now we have all these people that want to go there. we need to be mindful and respectful of the people who have been living around the college for generations. and we've heard from our citizens advisory commission, a policy body used to advise

the importance that they have played in the development of san francisco.ou know, supplying mainland with goats and all sorts of wonderful things. of course, the flower, the yerba buena itself, it is just fascinating. and i mentioned before i had a great aunt who actually went to the '39 fair and she always brought back all these great tales of san francisco and i think that's how i somehow ended up here. but it's just a wonderful place. there's so much there. so much history. and so i -- yeah. 66 years. that's great. i'm sure in 66 year, we'll be redoing it. thank you. >> yes. i'll second the motion. yes. >> any other questions or comments? before we act, i would like to open it up to the public. if there is any comments or questions from the public, please come forward now. ok. hearing none, let me just say i want to also thank the members of the treasure island museum board for all that you've done and it's so important for us to preserve that rich history at treasure island. and i'm very glad to see that you are, at this point, coming to us for that lea

they were awarded by developers and their contractors. data was synthesized youing contract award information. gathered from ocii's elation web-based reporting tool. overall, s.b. credit granted for this project is valued at just over 50%. with actual s.b. participation at just under 39%. the difference between the two figures can be explained in how they credit s.b. participation. mainly, nons.b. firms. [please stand by] please stand by] . >> which represents a decrease of 4.9% of the prior reporting period. the percentage for professional service contracts remaining well above ocii's goal of 50%, reaching nearly 60%, an increase of .3% from the prior period. meanwhile, the percentage -- achieving 27.9%, a decrease of 4.5% from the prior period. [ please stand by ]. >> -- commonly found in apartment buildings and single-family homes. the advantage of type 5 is it's accessible and easy to construction, as opposed to type 1 construction, which requires deep construction and structural cell trim frames. there are few, if any, sb's to indepe

with private developers. we only have within our portfolio about $6.8 million that's contracted with ocii. so real so contracts aren't just given to the good old boys network in terms of their friends, but publicly soliciting those contracts for open competition. so for us, good faith does mean an effort -- and we do religiously work with developers to ensure that their contracting opportunities are made open to the public. we do that by meeting with the contractors before solicitations go out, looking at the types of work that are being planned and the schedule, that type of work; and then, looking at the submittal document, the bid specs, or in the cases of r fq, the request for qualifications so to make sure there's unundue barriers. maybe an example is excessive insurances or excessive years of experience, that type of thing that might pose a barrier. we help the developers to solicit those documents not only through our website but certainly through the city's website, and again, ensuring that the public

, all the late stage development steps required in developing complicated biological medical countermeasures. and that marketplace commitment at the end. if you achieve these milestones, and when you get that product approved by the f.d.a., and it goes into our strategic national stockpile, we already have a contract in place, we already have the commitment of funds to procure it. that is the marketplace that industry likes. that's the industry perspective, and that's the commitment for that marketplace. taking it back to barda and our model of working with companies to develop the medical countermeasure is another important approach that we don't lose in the conversation. remember, it's about more than just money. it's about the technical skills and ability to work unencumbered in a comprehensive way from start to finish in developing a very complicated medical countermeasure. if these were easy to make, we wouldn't need to be here. so everything we develop in a medical countermeasure, each step from the start depends on the next step, the previous step. and it's a complicated process, and

in particular the development on mission street, we wanted to work with the developer to get a neighborhood serving type business in the space but he refuse to deal with us and we're looking for large developments coming in to have smaller spaces at the bottom to cater to the local neighborhood. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening, san francisco and everyone else watching. i support the mission district and everything they're saying. i wish you had someone other than a black man to come and support us. we don't have no businesses on fillmore. or have you seen fillmore lately? and i'm not here to point the finger at no one, particular queen bee. i go to district 5 and i can't get action because he's playing both parts and i know y'all don't want know say this but i'm not saying it for y'all but for the african american lack negros however you want to say us. i hope you hear me, peskin, because you did a wonderful job for herman. you opened up the box and we can't stop. this is to the city and county because they say i'm not a media person. this say news bulletin being publish

drug development or vaccine development is really tough. it's long, it's expensive, it's typically a billion dollars, 15 to 20 years, to get a vaccine from the bench to approval. just last week, last phase 3 clinical trial read out for a safer smallpox vaccine, which proved it's not only safer but is more ev case than the vaccine that's already stockpiled. so what has worked extremely well is that working with barta and other agencies of the u.s. government, we have been successful in taking a safer vaccine all the way through and to demonstrate that we can bring better products forward that will help protect the u.s. population. so that's what's worked really well. it's been a long journey. and i'm very proud to play a very small part in the success that barta has had. but to senator burr's point at the beginning, our safest smallpox vaccine is also a vaccine platform. we've spent a lot of time coinvesting in that. we have programs trying to combat cancer and other infectious diseases and together with our partner jansen at the forefront o

then finally in terms of development that creates growing concern over time. it's ubiquitous availability of biotechnology today. you can do a paint by numbers instruction in the province of the nobel prize-winning scientists only decades ago. it's for those that can present a real threat. >> you mentioned the nuclear test and we followed that with great interest, but something we just don't talk about a loss that was pointed out in the "washington post" i've mentioned in my remarks is north korea acquiring different mechanical pieces that potentially could allow them to develop chemical or biological weapons. we are focused on developing weapons sierra trekking that very closely and there are a variety of export controls to which we look to limit the export and further proliferation of agents of particular concern we do have concerns about the biotechnology and the ability to innovate the agency to develop an without that kind of stock. secretary or general, what we talked about in the nationstates, we know they have a capability out there. what are some of t
