under costa hawkins, this parkmerced contract comes squarely within the provisions of what is permitted. costa hawkins does allow for exceptions when a city contributes, makes city contributions or other forms of assistance. and the document on page two and three list the various forms of assassins that the city is providing that according to supreme court justice reynosa would allow the city and developmenter to allow to agree on an agreement that would be exaptable to costa hawkins. >> i have just received this opinion for the first time and i quickly scanned it but it does reiterate what we have included in the text of the development agreement, about reliance on the exception of costa hawkins for the forms of assassins given to the city under the state bonus statutes. so it appears to be giving an opinion based on their review of the development agreement and the specific things the city is giving to the developer in the development agreement that we sit with the express exception that's in costa hawkins for contracts with public entity that is provide assassins. supervisor chu: tha

the court upheld this in the hawkins challenge. these parental control units are replaced within five years. third, the various contract provisions and remedies in deeper foes -- proposed agreements. i am happy to talk about those. what we included originally was the remedy of specific performance termination. we now have and express right to terminate if there is reneging developer. if there is a situation after significant construction has begun, then there is the right for the developer to abide by the rent control provisions or pay a liquidated amount. the liquidated amount you heard supervisor elsbernd talk about. that is a citation to a cbre and the rent control is valued at $160 million. that would be the value of the units with and without rent- controlled plus 20%. the developer would be required to pay that money. i am happy to answer any questions further. >> one follow-up to that. the development agreement includes both rent control protections and separate contractual remedies. at the suggestion was made that if it tur

apartment association case, which recognized yet a third exception to the cost of hawkins' law. it is found within the ellis act. the state legislature amended the act to allow cost of hawkins to allow either, if a tenant decides it wants to continue to be in the rental business, if they do not demolish the unit, we rent it, and the city can post rent control. if they do demolish the unit on the property and we build new units within five years on the same property, under the ellis act, the city has the right to impose and require the imposition of rent control. we have the ordinance in place in san francisco already. to that ordinance and that case, as to why we believe the rent control provisions should be enforced in this case. i know you have all seen the case. it is worth pointing out some of the express language of the case, which i will read to you quickly right now. this is in the los angeles county vs. some the of los angeles. they cite that you can control rent-controlled on new units. "residential property is subject to rent control is the following conditions are sat

it was the exact same costa- hawkins question. not only is it comparable to trinity. it is comparable to any other project anywhere in san francisco that includes bmr units. you were sent to an -- you are saying to any tenant in those units that it is legally questionable. i hope you continue forward with any other project that includes one bmr unit or thousands. it is the same law. to supervisor avalos, i assume you know the value of the rent control subsidies already offered is $160 million. i am betting you do not know the value of the amendment you are offering care. i do not think any of us know. but it is not going to be $160 million. it is going to be significantly more. i think we also know the developers are not going to say yes. it is a nonstarter. it destroys the entire project. let us not put on a sure way that this is an amendment that is coy to help move the -- not -- let us not put on a sure raid -- a charade that this is an amendment that is going to help move the project forward. superivsor mar: in a to three for our land use committee meeting this mo

the first is the exception in the cost of hawkins ordinance for the forms of assistance provided under the density bonus statute. you heard my statement about how we've made clear what those are and however but has agreed to them. second is the case that basically acknowledges under the ellis act that creates an exception to costa pockets. the california legislature adopted this. it has been confirmed enforceable for replacement units built on the same property within five years. the difference is we are not proceeding under the ellis act. and then the very extensive provisions we have included in the development agreement that established the clear intent the parties, the clear considerations, the contractual privity with each and every owner. like i said, our unwillingness to proceed without the tenants' private right of action. there is no case directly on point, but we have a strong argument that it is enforceable. it has been strengthened with some of the revisions you have suggested and we have made. not only the ones you introduced today, but the ones we've made throughout the l

as i discussed in more detail in my humphrey-hawkins testimony in the beginning of march, between late august when i first indicated that the federal reserve was seriously considering this an additional step, and earlier this year, not only the federal reserve but many outside forecasters, upgraded their forecasts. we saw strengthening labor market conditions, higher rates of payroll, job creation, etc. now, the conclusion therefore is that the second round of securities purchases could only be validated if one thought that this step was a panacea, that it was going to solve all the problems and return us to full employment overnight. we were clear from the beginning that while we thought this was an important step, at an important time when we were worried about a double dip, worried about deflation, we were very clear that this was not going to be a panacea, that it was only going to turn the economy in the right direction. we published some analytics which gave job creation numbers which were significant but not enough to completely solve the enormous jobs problem that we have. agai
