like many of my colleagues, my district is home to number of chemical facile -- facilities. they play a crucial role in the local economy but with that comes a risk they feel cfats program helps adress that riving and -- that risk and helps communities like mine be safer without being overly burdensome. years ago, there was a call to action to address credible threats to high-risk chemical facilities across the country. at the time, chemical facility security was one of the biggest security gaps we face and secretary chertoff asked congress to pass a balanced, security-based measure. within a year, congress gave d.h.s. temporary authority to implement a chemical security program. cfats survived on annual authorizations for eight years. the lack of certainty stunted the program's growth. in 2014, after the tragic explosion at the west, texas, chemical facility, congress passed a four-year authorization bill. since then the cfats program invested in better tools, better trained personnel and a better strategic vision for the future. in short, the cfats program has matured. tod

it is a staff secure facility. it is not a locked facility. it provides educational services that are administered by the san francisco unified school district. we've developed partnerships with vocational agencies that are providing construction training and other trades. we work very closely with the department of public health to provide clinical services, so many of our young people have experienced trauma. we know that many of them are experiencing violence in their communities, and we also know that many of these young people are self-medicating and in need of significant clinical intervention. so those partnerships have been strong with respect to the clinical services. but not only that, san francisco was one of the first jurisdictions in the nation as a result of a federal grant to implement a robust reentry strategy that combined our efforts within the protection department, with community agencies and our bench officers, where judges are looking at reentry plans and coordinating with the young person and their family in developing t

and this new facility will replace the old facility, and many of you know what the old facility look like. but the new facility will be four stories, will house the city's fleet, will be able to provide training, will be able to provide a place where the paramedics and firefighters can really use to respond to the people of san francisco. you know, the people of san francisco have been passing these bonds because they have faith in us being able to deliver these projects, and we will deliver these projects on time and on budget as we have done in many of our projects. but today's very, very special because this facility is very, very important in the infrastructure to support our city. and with that said, there are quite a number of people. we will thank them as we go through the various speakers, but i will begin by thanking our mayor, london breed, for all the leadership that she has brought to the city and especially just making sure that every day people can enjoy beautiful san francisco. welcome, mayor london breed. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. good morning, everybody. i

the measurements on record with the department of public health for the facility, and the two facility was mentioned on turk. those are a matter of record. the most recent measurements that were taken, 0.2 1%. everything from that facility is less than a%. their projected exposure level from this additive -- added new facility are .0 5%. there is no question this facility will comply with the federal exposure standards. i think d.p.h. is a value -- d.b.h.'s evaluation is correctly reflecting our findings. thank you. >> could you remind me to process -- >> let them finish. sorry. >> if you have a minute. >> mr murphy did talk about community outreach as well. during the time we did speak to him from july to december, we reached out and had a back-and-forth e-mail conversation at least nine times four in july and august, twice in september, and three times more in december. we did discuss a handful of things. from y. and the reasoning why we need to have a pole in this area , a small cell facility in this area. >> okay. >> you have half a minute. >> hello. i just want to address two thin

we saw such facilities before. there's a little bit of an illusion about what happens here. a heroin injector is a hard-core, long term, injecting multiple times a day. basically, they're in a daycare facility receiving government heroin, paid for by taxpayers, and that really questions and constrains their citizenship. how free is this person? who is now dependent on heroin that the society is supplying? you say, well, they're good at job -- they're multiple times a day having to inject. and still at risk from the drug itself. under this circumstance, that seems to me to not be a free citizen. that seems to be a citizen on a leash. do these people -- are they enabled to drive school buses, participate in flying an aircraft, to have professional lives? no, because they're dependent. and they're basically disabled under the drug use we're trying to get them free from. is this the policy you would want for your sister, son, for your own family members that they are being warehoused, effectively, somewhere by given government-sponsored heroin so as to keep them from disrupting

members of local two, who continue to work in this facility, and the team as -- s.f. travel, and so many people who contribute to the vibrancy of our great safety. and also, i want to finally think the residents and the business in this neighborhood. the people who basically suffered through the changes and all of the challenges that exist here, and i also would like to thank the san francisco police department for keeping the community and residents safe all over our city. the namesake of this facility, named after the former mayor was committed to our core values of inclusion, bringing people together, and pushing for transformative projects like here at moscone centre. today, not only do we rededicate this facility in his honor, we also honor another true champion of san francisco values. someone who was an incredible mayor who pushed for the expansion of this project, but also more importantly, pushed for the funding to get it done. it was both city funding, and private dollars that made it possible, and because of the leadership of our late mayor, ed lee, it was

for those that aren't familiar with the facility, this is a brand new facility for the emergency medical services. i don't know all the details but, kathleen is here to explain better. this is essentially restocking facility for all the ambulances. it's not meant to be deployed. it's place where all the ambulance can come back and restock all their supplies and they get deployed from their locations throughout the city. moving on to the neighborhood fire station component. this component is focused on two main scopes. one is the seismic host tower removal project at six locations. six fire stations -- in the second scope is the generated replacement project at fire station 18. i know there's other locations that may have a potential if there's funding available for additional general replacement projects. for now, we know for sure station 18 is included as the generated replacement scope. other than that, seismic host tower project schedule, has been driven by the entitlement process. we got clarifications from the planning department. we're moving toward an interpretive approach that al

now the nursing facility where she was living is under fire. we'll hear from family members of other patients who say that a major security feature is missing. (grant) a disturbing case of alleged sex abuse at a phoenix nursing home. a woman who's been in vegetative state for at least a decade gave birth at the facility last week.(catherine) now families who also have loved ones at the nursing home are demanding answers. brianna whitney reports. as if being a parent to a child with a severe health condition isn't already a challenge... these parents say finding a care facility for their needs can be even harder. and the place they thought their children were safe... doesn't feel so safe anymore. briana whitney/reporting:"do you trust the people in this facility now?"karina cesena/parent of hacienda healthcare patient:"trust has been broken. trust has definitely been broken."karina cesena's 22-year-old daughter has lived at the hacienda nursing facility for several years.she had a traumatic brain injury, and now has hundreds of seizures a day.bu

it begins in year 100, after the facilities tax ends.in year 100, that will be based on the final taxable square footage at that time, but in today's dollars, if full buildout were to have already occurred, this could be approximately 10.4 to $13.4 million. there will also be incidental costs and the administration of the special tax levy, as shown in the slide. this next slide clarifies something you may have been wondering about. as mentioned, it is estimated that the c.f.d. will raise about $354 million over the first 25 years, however, the legislation before you today has a not-to-exceed bond amount of 5.3 billion, which is significantly higher. to explain how these two figures are related, first, the public benefits package assumed $2,015. it's based on 25 years of funding, and it assumes only 75% of the plan development is ultimately built. a conservative assumption as we know from other neighborhoods that every parcel may not get built or projects may choose to build less than their full zoning potential. on the other hand, the no

all of the facilities were mentioned in the top five except for pier 35. that was the one pier not in the top five perhaps of the existing use that has time associated where respondents had to only envision response in 10 years. that pier did not receive rankings in the top five. i want to mention among the top five several were open house piers. pier 38, ag building and they were to have the respondents look at those. that is interesting as well. pier 29, 38, 1923 are vacant piers or where we are doing piers where we are working on the facilities. that is interesting opportunity sites for that reason. the final item in terms of summarizing responses are economics. respondents were asked to provide range of rental ratings they would fay for use they -- they would pay for use they were contemplating the capital investment for the space they were proposing. this was not required. it is interesting to note less than a third provided the information. it depends on the deal which we understand. it is interesting that the average rent specified $30 per square fo

at detention facilities in dilly and kearns, facilities that a top official from immigration and customs enforcement, i.c.e., callously and dismissively described as summer camps. i saw families locked away, some for months at a time without proper access to legal, medical, or mental health care. many of these families have access to legal services only out of the generosity, ingenuity, and hard work of volunteers and overstretched nonprofits. i also visited the massive detention camp for unaccompanied children at torneo. it started as a temporary camp for several hundred kids in june 2018 after the trump administration systematically separated parents from their kids under the zero tolerance policy. it has now ballooned to currently holding some 2,700 unaccompanied children. i know there are now an estimated 15,000 unaccompanied children in facilities throughout our country. since june, the administration has already spent more than $144 million on the makeshift camp where food, water, and other basic items have to be trucked in regularly. i was disturbed to find that thousands of kids

now, the train box extension is actually under the bus facility. if you look at the plans, the train box extension actually goes all the way over to the other side of main street, actually, right against the building foundations. and then, the next question is okay, that's great. now you've got your 1400 foot platform. somehow you managed to squeeze them in there, but how do you have to go across the bay? all you've got to do is go up in the study and look at the leak impact. you've got numerous buildings that are going to have to be taken downtown. now, the last thing is a turn-back track. the thing that you have to understand is just the existence of that is going to impact every single train, not just because when you're turning trains, because to accommodate it, you have to increase the distance between the gates. you're going to increase the distance by approximately 20 feet -- sorry, 30 feet. if you do that, you will increase the warming time by 20 seconds, and the reason that happens is because -- warning time by 20 seconds, and the reason t

divisions from the current facility and the new facility. >> the planning we have here gives them thetunity to have the pool needs to complete theirs jobs in a much more streamlined fashion. >> we're looking forward to have secured parking to minimize the egress of you know visiting and the members of the public but really to minimize the investigators remaining remains from our advancing and so the facility. >> we have a new visitors area we're building that is a little bit more friendly to families. >> one thing you may notice in the room no windows there is no natural light not good for most autopsy but in the new facility at new hall we made that an objective they want to insure we were able to look up in the middle of exam and see the sky and see natural lights. >> that's one of the things the architect did to draw in as much light as possible. >> we have staff here onsite we insure the design of the new design enables the investigators and other investigators skiefksz to consider to house on site this meant we needed to design and plan for locker room facilities and shower rooms

there's a facilities storage locker. the evoc, where are they going to do their training at, and then, i understand the $8 million shortfall, and they continue to move when they're going to do construction. from 19-20, now it's at 20-21. i'll bring that up on what we suggest for an agenda item. but any way, so i think the guy's competent. he's going to do it. i can't remember when he said the report is going to be done, i don't know how long it's going to take. i'm just concerned that it's so limited, it may not meet all of our needs, but there's some -- there'll be some reports. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you for doing that, commissioner dejesus. anything further? >> commissioner dejesus: oh, one last thing. i also want to talk about i asked him about the urine tests, and he said that's for people that ingested the material, and he said he didn't think there were any of that. i talked about the isometer, and he said nothing so far would require having that isometer, things like that, so that's it. >> commissioner m

if you grant a conditional use for this particular community facility, then other similar facilities move in without coming back to you. just to remind everyone that conditional uses are not attached to the business, if you will, but to the tenant. and the other reason -- or to the property. and the other reason that this is perhaps a slightly different situation is because of the character of the building itself. it doesn't really have a store front or anything on elgin park and because it's an historic building, it would be highly unusual for us to kind of approve anything that changed the whole character of the facade on the elgin park side of the building. those are the reasons that we were -- we talked about this at staff level quite a bit and those are the reasons that we thought the rezoning actually made sense to have the whole building be in one zoning category and that was a line down the middle. >> for clarity, director. what you mean is that if the gay men's chorus were no longer occupying the building and there was any of the other businesses that public comments, you kn

we had spoken last time about the balance of starting the entire facility, not just the facilities above fremont and first. can you confirm that's what needs to happen before we start-up the facility? >> yeah. it includes the direct repair of the girders and investigation of the facility. >> okay. thank you. >> go ahead and call your next item. >> next item is committee review up i didn't tell. we have bruce aggett with us. >> good morning chair nuru, director reiskin, and director zabaneh. [inaudible] >> -- part one, we understand the controller's office evaluation and the sfcta's review of the alternative oversight and governance models for the management and delivery of the d.t.x. in addition to its previous scope task to advise on the project delivery methods for d.t.x. as approved through resolution 1902 is targeted for completion as executive director zabaneh indicates, may of 2019. although we were hoping this could be completed in 120 days, we understand and agree -- agree fully with the need to perform a thorough review and it is good to see that a date has been established for

integrating the operation facilities in the design of a parks and open space. we had some conversations around rules and regulations for open spaces and also planning design for adaptation to climate change and sea level rise. i think that this is an area that has been a focus for our program from the beginning, but hudson river park had some real hard lessons that they learned in the super storm sandy about the impacts that that had on their facilities. and then always planning and design for flexibility and being able to respond to the use that comes to the park even when it may not be being used exactly the way that you originally envisioned that it would be used. some highly successful places, for instance, in brooklyn bridge park are being used as wedding photo backdrops and other things that the designers didn't necessarily think of when they were designing these spaces but that's how pe

we've requested to have a seat at the table just given the breadth of facilities, the number of facilities that we have, but unfortunately, we do not have a seat. >> commissioner covington: and who did you make that request to? >> i believe we talked to the mayor's office and probably capital planning. >> commissioner covington: and how long ago was the last request? >> a few years ago? >> commissioner hayes-white: a couple years ago. >> commissioner covington: okay. i think it's time we make a new request on that. we have a new administration. we have a mayor that is a former member of the require commission, and i think that a request -- a formal request should be made to mayor breed regarding this because, you know, in our prior conversations, you have shared the difficulty of having people understand those people who do sit on the committee, having people understand what our needs are, and, you know, the necessity of us having a seat at the table and being heard on, you know, a one-to-one basis. so i'm looking at a lot of these things that i think, you know, warrant further discussion
