thank you. >> madame chair and other supervisors, my name is darus anderson with kenwood investments. i just want to say on behalf of the investment group, we couldn't be more excited about working with tz and everybody that they are involved with. when norm called over two years ago, and said that they had come to a roadblock in moving forward we jumped at the opportunity having had many great nights in the theater and knowing it was a cultural asset that many san franciscans, as well as thousands of people around the bay area got to enjoy. and so we are fully committed to the project from today until completion. and i also want to say on behalf of the kenwood, we're very excited that we have signed a deal with local 2 and we look forward to working with the union as we progress on the project. thank you. >> thank you. excellent news. thank you, mr. anderson. there is a couple of questions that we have to direct to the port. supervisor kim? >> thank you. first of all, i just want to say that i absolutely support the details of the project before us. i appreciate the community outreac

we think kenwood is qualified to build a hotel and i think that construct would be looking at sort of a forced marriage between teatro and that developer. you know, it's anybody's guess whether or not that could work? on balance, looking at it, looking at the community's support for the project and looking at the experience at-hand in this relationship, between teatro and kenwood, i think what we thought was appropriate and the commission thought it was appropriate for us to bring the waiver request to you. this approach is going to be a much faster approach, and we have other means available to us to get to a fair-market value deal, which we would intend to bring back to you. so i think that is our response. >> can you guaranty that we'll be getting the best deal, that we would have if we had gone through a competitive bid rfp process? >> through the process, the port is going to look at comparable leases for hotels. >> my question is could you guarantee to the board that you couldn't have gotten a better deal through a competitive rfq process? >> so if we did a competitive process f

kenwood has been working with many long before they needed our support on this project. so i really want to underscore it's when the chips are down most people come running to us, but small business has been a real good stakeholder with the two entities. secondly, i want to underscore it's been sustainable jobs in san francisco, from a micro business perspective is exactly the type of business that the board of supervisors wants to develop and sustain. so small business loves teatro zinzanni. thank you. >> thank you very much. tom mccarthy. >> tom mccarthy. i'm a resident of this part of town going back many years. i'm also a member and officer-holder in the carpenters' union for white a while. i would quickly like to say these folks have a nice history of supporting non-profit community groups that need support and recognition. they have made their space and performers available

i'm a board member of barbary coast neighborhood association and we met with teatro zinzanni and kenwood several times. a recent meeting that was authorized to come here and say that we support their project and give our endorsement to what they are proposing today, and we support the resolution. we think that they would be a fine addition in return to san francisco. i'm also wearing the personal hat in that i live on davis street and i overlook broadway between davis street and the embarcadero, when means i look out every morning at the parking lot across the street. i think teatro zinzanni and this hotel would be a fine addition to that and support their project. we look forward to seeing what their actual project turns out to be, the details of it, at which time we would try, the barbary coast neighborhood association and golden gate commons area, we would try to work with them for public meetings to let people take a look at what their plans are and hear when they have to say. so as my personal recommendation and that of barbary coast neighborhood association. thank you. >> thank you
