as i mentioned earlier, we think this agreement is a win-win for the city and for moma. it allows the moma to build a new wing to house the world- renowned fischer collection and provides for the fire department and the fire station facility, which is superior in its physical layout and location to the existing fire station at no additional cost to the city. before john goes over with you the agreement, i just want to give you a sense of the overall big picture schedule for this project. we are expecting certification of the eir and project approvals in fall of two dozen 11. completion of the new fire station ready for use, fall of 2012. and completion of the new museum wing, summer 2015. again, all contingent on the approvals that i already mentioned. at this point, i will hand it over to john. i just want to say to you, after john is finished with his brief presentation, we have representatives of numerous city departments and of the sfmoma key and answer any questions you might have. >> thank you. assistant director of real estate, good afternoon. the action that we a

in this case, moma is obligated under the agreement to build the station regardless of what the cost is to them, so it made sense to ask you to exempt the project from competitive bidding. with respect to the local hiring or the lbe, it is our belief that because public money is not being invested in a project, it is not subject to the lbe ordinance, although as john said, is subject to first source and all the other things that he mentioned. supervisor chiu: if i had heard the previous speaker correctly, it is the intent of the project sponsor to include those aspects. is that right? >> by the project sponsor, you mean the sfmoma with regard to the new fire station? supervisor chiu: right, i thought that in past presentations, i would heard that that would be part of it. >> it is the intent that it is mentioned in the agreement. i'm sorry, i'm just looking for my notes for the series of things -- oh, yes. subject to the city hosted prevailing wage resourced- efficient building, equal benefits, and first source hiring provisions. supervisor chiu: i'm sorry, which section are looking

this proposal is a win-win situation for the citizens of san francisco, moma, san francisco fire department. currently, station one is located third and howard streets. it was built approximately in the 1950's. it was originally supposed to be a temporary location for the station until the location on jesse alley was renovated, but that never happened. since that time, the firefighters have operated out of a station in a highly congested area for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. the majority of their runs are in the tenderloin area. i would anticipate -- excuse me, i would say approximately 75% of the call volume is focused in the tenderloin and sixth street corridor. relocating to this location would decrease our response time. we would be better able to serve the population that we normally serve. we are really excited about this project. if you find it reasonable and you agreed to approve it, it would be a great situation all the way a round. supervisor maxwell: great, thank you. all right, why don't we open this up to public comment at this time? >> supervisors, san francisco building

. >> what's interesting is gertrude stein did not like moma. >> no. he seemingly didn't like alfred barr. >> rose: who was the great figure at moma. >> right. evidently she said to alfred barr "you can be a museum or you can be modern but you can't be both" that's one of those aphorisms that she loved to say. >> rose: this is all work that's in the met collection. all work given to the met or purchased by the met. and every critic talks about how great it is in terms of the early picasso. and how disappointing it is that you don't have any cubist paintings here. >> well, we have... >> rose: to speak of. >> right. >> rose: what do you say to that? >> i say come have a look at our cubist room here. we have 18 extraordinary cubist drawings to which do buy them on the market they're unobtainable. these were shown in new york in 1911 and 1915 in pristine condition. we can show every development of cubism on paper in full sheets that were very important works for picasso. we have two very fine early cubist paintings and one great high synthetic cubist maste

the asian art museum, moma. they are stepping up to the plate. this is a way of doing more with less, being created, not excepting the status quo as absolute, and working more creatively to solve and address a significant issue. the purpose of this was to focus on what is right and not necessarily indulging in what is going wrong, particularly with the burden placed on the school districts with the summer program. we want to celebrate the collective efforts of everyone you see who made it all happen. i am happy now. we're all happy. we're happy to answer any questions. through our jobs now program and state grants that the development offices gotten, we will be enhancing our summer jobs program. we're very blessed because of the jobs now framework that we are able to provide 100% wage subsidies for individuals with independence. that allows us to hire supervisors and staff to oversee the enhancements of some of the men to ship -- mnentorship and other training programs. without that, it would have been difficult to subsidize the support and manag

the guggenheim, the whitney, the new york moma, museums throughout the world. she's perhaps most or best-known for her text-based light work that you can see in times square, where all of a sudden instead of advertising, you'll see a phrase that says "lack of charisma can be fatal." and you'll say what is that? but it's art. jenny was really a pioneer in doing the kind of text-based light art. so i would like to introduce -- jenny will be working in the light column in the railing on the mezzanine level, and i'd like to introduce her two studio managers who have been just a dream to work with. very responsive. very knowledgeable about technology and really great partners in this project. emily and david will present jenny holster's proposal. >> hello, thanks so much for having us. while jenny can't be here, she wanted us to express her enthusiasm for this project and how she's so thrilled to hopefully be participating in it. i'm going to be giving a background and emily will be giving the particulars of this project. hopefully by looking at some of jenny's olde

i would like to thank moma for all the hard work they have put in to making all this work, and charles schwab, who before mr. fisher passed away, he was instrumental in helping to bring him to this point, and i just really do feel that this is one of the true great steps that san francisco will be taking in our cultural life and existence, and it is another facet, i think, to what we bring to the united states and our cities, so thank you very much. supervisor maxwell: thank you. and i remember the late nights when we were talking about this at the presidio, and for it to come into something that was so lovely, this is a win-win, and it is from what we remember that we went through -- this is just great. i want to thank all of you on behalf of, i think, the citizens of san francisco. they have a great gift. i think the family has always been a part of our city, and for them to remain here in this way is very elegant and great, so again, thank you very much. without objection, so move. -- so moved. madam clerk, item five please. >> item 5, resolution imposing interim zoning controls req
