supervisor avalos: mr. rose, if you want to comment on item six. >> as our report points out, although this was a competitive proposal, it was not based on cost. however, we concur with the department, because this was a professional services contract, it was based on experience and qualifications. there is also, as the engine, a contingency amount of 13.9%, about $1.6 million. that is how we get to the $13 million, plus the contingency. we also point out this is for a term of according to the agreement for up to 10 years. this specific agreement is for a term of 1095 days, approximately three years. finally, regarding the cost, when the airport submitted this in the rfp, they estimated the cost would be $9 million. it turns out, excluding contingencies, it is about $11.7 million. we asked for an explanation and we have an attachment to our report, beginning on page 6, which explains -- the bottom line is the airport underestimated the scope of this project. that is why there was an additional $2.7 million.

mrs. jackson. i want to congratulate the newbies. welcome. my support would be primarily for john avalos. he has been very pro-active in ensuring diversity for hiring with contracts outstanding. he stood up to say we should get reporting and make sure that people from the neighborhood do not just start on the jobs and then end up leaving. he has been very pro-active in keeping the diversity aspect and in regulating that. david chiu, i have enjoyed working with him as well. there are several great candidates. it is hard to put one over the other. you are all fantastic. john avalos with his project of leadership with the budget finance and ensuring employment for minorities in different neighborhoods has been a wonderful support of measure for the city and county of san francisco. supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> i am peter were filled from the library users association. i also serve on the supervisor- created body but i am not speaking for the body. congratulations to the new members. banking to the current board president for his service for two years as president. -- thank you to the cu

mr. avalos' said the four-page ordinance, and clearly, this device would be covered by this ordinance, because this is a purely residential block. there are nearby blocks, with san francisco city college 1/2 blocks away, but this is purely a block consisting of roadhouses, edwardian roadhouses. --edwardian row houses. this is actually composed of three parts. an antenna, which was mounted on an addendum to the light pole, about 8 feet higher than the light pole. this is not a power pole. it is a light pole. then there are two devices at approximately 8 ft. height. the dimensions that she said, clearly that is one of the devices, but there is another device there. it is approximately -- if you look at the picture that she showed you, you can see that this is not just a 25 by 15 device. it definitely adds to visual blight. when i looked out my window, i look at it. where nothing previously was, because, of course, it was added to the height of the light pole. there is noise. i cannot open the front window of my house without my front room being full of this buzzing noise. i do not know who told

supervisor avalos: thank you. mr. rose? >> members of the committee, the rental rates would remain the same in fiscal year 10, 11, so no increased cost to the city. i would also point out on page five of our report, tabled to, the proposed rental rate of $5,992 per resident per year at the windsor hotel is about 20% less than the $7,400 average

supervisor avalos: thank you, mr. young. supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. chair. as you indicated, we are continuing our hearing from last week. i want to say in advance our strong appreciation to the city family in working around the clock in order to produce the kind of analysis that we just did not have the ability to have a thorough vetting of last wednesday. thank you to the budget analyst's office, controller's office, economic analysts and all of the city family. as we had well indicated in last wednesday's hearing, the plan for the northern waterfront, in order to strengthen oured by to secure the rights -- our bid to secure the right to host the america's cup is substantial improvement. it has been amazing that based upon time lines that have been imposed upon us and how the city family has been able to marshall i think the resources to together in order to try to put forward the best bid we possibly could. the bid that is under consideration now on the northern waterfront is, we think we believe, the best that the city can do. and that we think by

supervisor avalos: 54 the presentation. mr. rose? >> mr. chairman, supervisor elsbernd, i would simply point out, on table two, page 5 of the report, the cost per unit annual rent per unit for the 86 units is about $7688 per year, and that is more than average of other hotels. however, as we point out, there are more amenities for this hotel, such as a full bath, so therefore, that increased cost appears to be justified. we recommend that you approve this resolution. supervisor avalos: very good. public comment? >> good morning, supervisors. thomas pickering low. i will give some public comment to extend your longevity as chair of the committee. i have some

mr. bentsen. >> and the special projects manager representing 14. i wanted to address supervisor avalos'squestions from the hearing. and to talk a little bit about the jobw impactwwwwwwww ofwwwwww that displacement -- and to talk a little bit about the job impact of that displacement. that have the overhead display? that is too small to read. what i will do is hand copy members of the committee and talk to the slide instead. essentially, we're talking about is the 19-29 sheds, and pier 28. these are all industrial warehouse sheds. most of the tenants in 19, 23, 29, 28, at 26 our warehouse -- are warehouse tenants. the activity that is going on in those areas is storage activity. there are a few smaller maritime tenants who are in the processing business. we would try to relocate them to our fish processing facilities. there are a few office tenatnnts in piers 26 and 28, includeing ideo, a lease just before the board of supervisors. it would endeavor to relocate all of the tenants that would be displaced either too poor property or to provide -- we think there is the likelihood of a high d

mr. cornell and it's just a slap in the face that supervisor avalos' office chose to just not involve us, not include us, not include small business people on the, whatever ad hoc task force that went into creating this, and it just speaks to several things, which i won't go into, but at this point in time we have to at least stand up and tell them that this was not the right procedure. president yee riley: ok. commissioner clyde? vice-president clyde: i second that. i'm absolutely in favor of the intent of the legislation. i understand the driver of the legislation. you know, the fact that people have the intention to hire locally is one thing, and i understand the driver to make it a mandate. we have a very high unemployment rate in san francisco with labor and trades, so i support the intent. absolutely. but i have to agree that we have to make some statement that this commission is useless unless we are allowed to vet legislation be as it's coming forward and being proposed. so i agree with commissioner o'conner and i think we should draft a statement. it's just going by too fast. no

avalos? >> just a question you touched upon briefly in your presentation mr. campbell and that is this last bullet point in your power point, cpuc has been responsive to san francisco and c.c.a.'s allies to exit mechanism. can you elaborate on that a bit? does that mean there is action taken in the responsiveness? or there's openness to hearing it or changes at the cpuc that would make this a little more flexible? >> sure. no official action has been taken to date in terms of a policy change but there have been indications of willingness to have a policy change. one of the key ones is this is an issue that direct access entities of for-profit firm that's sell energy directly to large industrial customers predominantly have been clamoring to get revisited for years and the commission hasn't even had a workshop. we've been very interested in doing much about that through various procedural mechanisms, we've been requesting along with our allies, that the commission relook at that and start developing more of a record and see if the rules for setting the -- the m

mr. chairman, i would like to ask you how many countries were involved in the world series? supervisor avalos: 1, but the players came from many countries. >> that is very true. the city spends $1 million to celebrate. it is called the america's cup. it should be here. thank you very much. >> i'm a disabled sailor. i was one of the casualties of the dot-bomb era. my work in the software industry, which i loved, destroyed my arms and part of my neurological system. in the five years since then, the cost to maintain my care -- instead of skyrocketing, it has held level. my level of function has maintained a steady state, even as my actual physical condition has deteriorated significantly. to the best of my estimation, the savings on my care alone over the past four years exceed $40,000. the data on the money that you do not have to spend on for and broken people who can function better and be more productive -- those are not collected. those dollars cannot be counted in any of the really amazing spreadsheets that we have seen in this presentation. but it does not mean those dollars cease to exi

avalos present. campos present. chiu present. chu present. daly present. dufty present. elsbernd present. mar present. maxwell present. mirkarimi present. mr. president, all members are present. commissioner chiu: thank you. ladies and gentlemen, could you please join me for the pledge of allegiance? colleagues, i just want to mention as far as the agenda today, given that this is the last meeting of 2010 and we have a lot of items, what i would like to propose is that we go through the consent agenda, moving to local hiring, and given how many people are here with regards to the america's cup, we move to that item and proceed through the rest of the calendar until our 3:00 p.m. special orders and moved to our 3:00 p.m. special orders, including the discussion of its potential nomination around an interim there. why don't we move to the meeting minutes? you should have copies of your november 9 and november 16 meeting minutes. motion by supervisor mirkarimi to approve. without objection, this meeting minutes will be approved. are there any communications? if you could read the consent agenda, items one through 16. >> items 1 through 16 comp

avalos, supervisor david campos. supervisor carmen chu, supervisor malia kohn, supervisor ross mirkarimi, supervisor mark farrell, supervisor jane kim, and supervisor scott wiener. on this occasion, mr. lee, a number of your friends thought it appropriate to reach out to cover the span of mayors over the last 50 years in this great city, a small fraternity which you are about to join. and leading that is the most recent member of that club is, of course, the lieutenant governor of the state of california who in just a minute will bring some remarks. it was the man who served as a supervisor here in the city and county of san francisco and whom the voters rewarded just richly with making him the lieutenant governor of the state of california and he was received yesterday by his colleagues in sacramento at one minute after 1:00 when his tenure in city hall, he was evicted. and in the process, he gave a sterling accounting of himself of the time that he has been mayor. and now to say goodbye to each and everyone of you and welcome to the new mayor, the man who was the lieutenant governor of the state of california, gavin newsom. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. thank you all. sit do

mr. president. i am really, really sorry, but i'm not going to be able to support this. i wanted to support this. i came in wanting to support it. i've admired supervisor avalos' work on this, i've admired the community's work. i had every intention of coming in here to support this, but then these numbers came down and, i'm sorry, but if you take the city property owners out and let's not talk about the weighted just yet, but there are 150 parcels on ocean avenue. if you take the public properties out, only 12 property owners voted yes on this. 66 property owners voted no and the rest didn't vote and i really have a tough time saying 12 property owners get to tell 150 property owners, your property tax is going up. i just -- i wanted to be there really bad because i really admire supervisor avalos' commitment to ocean avenue. it's an area that needs this support, but i just don't think these numbers are fair, and i think longer term, we need to do more. all this work, but only 12 private property owners said yes. it's not a sufficient threshold for me. president chiu: colleagues, further discussion? supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: certainly the numbers

mr. sanders and others in the city attorney's office to look at potential next steps, and i also wanted to say that from what supervisor avalos' office has expressed to us, there have been good conversations with the industry. the voters that people put up today and last week are horrifying to me. the lack of public notice and lack of community input into the process is outrageous, and i do feel that the public was the right of way is a place that the federal government and state government have some say in, but we need stronger protections, not only raise issue of safety, but also esthetics and whether these boxes on utility poles are necessary and desirable, but it is a process that should be a community one from the local level in my opinion, but i know we have to be careful and legally defensible in what we propose, but the legislation before us is reasonable, and i do think the two-year appeals process makes a lot of sense to me. i wish it could be a shorter appeal, and i do think the industry's concerns have been listened to. on the claim of discriminatory treatment, i think that is totally ridiculous. that was made by

mr. young, do we have any other items? >> that complete to the agenda. supervisor avalos: we are adjourned.
