and the government could not use local tax funds to restore redevelopment, the redevelopment agency us who worked at the redevelopment agency and worked in the field of affordable housing, i think it was a very dark time. now what the heck is going to happen now. the redevelopment agency was one of the primary sources of local funds to basically support the development of affordable housing in san francisco. it was used to leverage outside resources and state funds, federal funds, and in the early part of redevelopment, and early 1990's, san francisco and the wonderful community of san francisco basically more advantaged in the state in terms of leveraging state resources to do acquisition rehabs and the new construction of affordable housing, and it really created this new time of growth in affordable housing. when that went away, i think everybody was concerned about what was going to happen, what was going to replace it if anything. people were talking about i.f. d.'s and whether they could wrotuse those to replace redevelopment. in january, at the mayor's inauguration, he spoke

entirety of the income in past years to redevelopment agency work. if we look at comparisons year to year and changes, in the current year, we allocated $112 billion to redevelopment agency for the in forcible obligations but we expect those to grow over the next two years, all told about $10 million extra by the time we hit 2013-14? >> that is correct. that is largely due to increased tax increment growth in the mission bay project area. as that increment grows, part of our agreement with the developer, part of that project is that that growth is passed through to the developer to fund additional work in the development area. >supervisor chu: page 10 shows not enforceable activities. these are all items that were previously going through the redevelopment agency, or they were supporting different work being done in some of these other areas that we can no longer pay for through the state legislation. so the general fund is planning to pick up an additional $10 million for the is not enforceable activities, plus the additional million dollars roughly

i have a summary of the post redevelopment budget for you today. i am trying to provide an overview of what has happened with the redevelopment agency, where its services and functions have been absorbed in the city, where its staff has been a guard in the city, but the work plan going forward looks like. i have with me today my colleagues tiffany from the city administrator's office and can draw from the city administrator's office, jennifer from the office of economic and workforce development, angie from the mayor's office of hounding. -- housing. i thought i would do a brief overview of the dissolution. most of you are aware of the broad strokes of that. talk about staffing changes and staffing loss. walk through the budget with you had an overview level, talk about tax increment, the gsa budget impacts and the general fund impact. finally, talking about the general fund supported activities that will be and absorbed into the general fund in this budget, rather than in the redevelopment agency's budget. as you remember, earlier this year, the s

redevelopment statewide is in need of reform.ncisco is a model for redevelopment and it needs to stay intact. >> let's talk about the role of sports. are you happy with the plans for the america's cup? should the city spend money to keep the 49ers'? >> i am thrilled about the america's cup. it will not just be an economic boom that creates jobs and long- term economic development. it will help us shore up our aging and deterioration appears -- deteriorateing piers. it will help us clear of deferred maintenance. it will be a >>> promotion for the city. people will see the panoramic views of san francisco and want to come here. i would very much like to see forty-niners stay here. what that means, we will have to talk about it. i am not a big fan of massive public subsidies to sports teams. i think we should work hard to keep them here. >> we're almost out of time. are there any other issues or concerns we have not discussed? are there any other specific issues you plan to concentrate on throughout your turn? >> a couple that come

 the oversight authority possibility to bond particular to this redevelopment plan today. >> there wasrecent assembly bill that clarified many things as it relates to the solution every development. there are many changes and that legislation or beneficial to affordable housing act clarified the use of proceeds and clarify the bonded proceeds may be retained for its use and we have a lot of bond proceeds in san francisco dedicated to affordable housing. in terms of the existing funds that had been detained by the redevelopment agency did not put into contracts, we have greater assurance we can spend them for affordable housing in san francisco. what the legislation did not do was to verify the bonding ability for affordable housing. if clarified, the ability of this agency to bond the enforceable financing agreement with a master developer which we have for a portion of the trans bay center for hunters pay, there is no similar agreement for affordable housing. this is among the things we are to try to figure out what we can ability to bond in the future. maybe through subsequent legisl

the redevelopment money grows over time, not currently paying debt obligations. the new source is fundamental in the early years. now the good stuff. programs. i will describe a set of programs, initiatives. they are primarily housed in the charter amendment. but there is companion legislation. really, the primary goal is to achieve balanced growth. for that reason, this package of programs includes affordable housing production, home ownership, and housing stabilization. let's talk about affordable housing production. it will support implementation of are very aggressive pipeline. we have nearly 9000 units of affordable housing in the pipeline. this includes transitional use, development of affordable housing in the major product areas, implementation of the public housing revitalization initiative. this is a critical funding source and it has moved to new developments. that money for acquisition and development of new permanent affordable housing sites we have yet to identify but will in the future. because i am an architect, i am allowed to show pictures of bu

today, this is one of the most blighted areas of the trans bay redevelopment area.t in the not too distant future, it will be a true destination for residents and businesses and san francisco alike. with retail and commercial activity similar to what we see in grand central terminal in new york. the plaza will be shared by the transit tower hadn't new station. the current design feature of redwood trees, calif.'s own state tree reaching upward toward the canopy above. an exciting feature proposed by the architect is a funicular the for one of the ways to access the rooftop. the mission plaza leads into the ground hall, the ground level of the new transit center. it is a light and open space which welcomes the public to regional and state why transit systems. it features a floor designed by san francisco artist and a corporate type comic images of california are. light serves as anesthetic feature and that element of the building's structure. on the bus back level, passengers will be greeted by permanent58hi÷ installation ac transit, greyhound, muni, treasure island

we have been managing the passat improvement through the redevelopment agency. has been general fund it and it's a program we work directly with businesses on making sure -- it has been our department that has overseen with redevelopment money that has overseen the work of that because we work so closely with merchants and we would continue to do that. supervisor chu: thank you. i think many of us are very supportive of the invest in the neighborhoods of goals and objectives. i think for areas that do not typically receive support, it is very exciting to see that this would roll out to outlying areas as well, whether it is a supervisor avalos' district or mine. i am wondering if, as a follow up, you might be able to share more affirmation on this new invest in the neighborhoods perspective? we have bits and pieces, but i want to make sure we're not doing the same thing we did before. i think when we last talked about the revolving loan funds and about how many different programs we have in all different departments that there were so many programs, so want to ma

>> that was redevelopment. >> jri is the jobs readiness initiative. it was previously funded through the development agency at approximately $1 million on an annual basis. we have included $1 million in funding going forward for those services which are early job readiness services. supervisor avalos: where are those programs focused? what part of san francisco? >> the existing initiative is primarily focused in the areas the redevelopment agency was working. the focus is primarily south of market as well as in the bay view-hunters point area. we have asked the department, as we're taking on responsibility with these funds, to consider how these funds were together with general fund dollars -- work together with general fund dollars and determine how those to support a broader base of neighborhood and district services. supervisor avalos: in the past, these funds were used for residents of specific neighborhoods to access services around burial removal? with a survey in people city- wide -- were they surveying people city-wide. it marks there were mor

i was at the redevelopment agency early on. i only got $3 million for affordable housing, when $3 million was worked a lot of money, and i know the impact on the pipeline tree and i think our goal was, one, to be as neutral as possible to the general fund and also to allow us to work through the funds that we had for redevelopment, and that was sort of the perceived dip in the amount of funds is sort of balance out, but clearly, more is better, but we are trying to balance all of the needs of the other constituencies who are also dependent on the general fund and trying to be as revenue neutral as possible to the general fund. supervisor campos: thank you. in terms of the issue about whether it would be funded through a transfer tax or a gross receipts tax, i have to say that i am concerned about the mixing of two issues which are independently very important in many respects disconnected from one another as a member -- matter of policy. we do need to have tax reform. we do need to create a source of affordable housing. wine mi

after talking to redevelop the staff, -- redevelopment staff, when we first heard the we were taking over -- and i have to say, this transfer occurred in february. we found out in march that suddenly the facility would be on report control, on top of the america's cup, warriors, and a lot of other things, and we are suddenly taking on a 700-slip marina -- and we are thrilled about it -- but it is coming down the pike quickly. if you told us, walking in the door, we should have raised rates years ago, but we did not do so. the pork hired, through the city's real-estate division, a certified real-estate appraisal company. he did it a rate analysis to estimate the rental values for marinas located in the day -- bay. they compared 12 marinas in four counties. the praise of verified the 2010 opinion that rates were significantly below market. the appraisal concluded that south beach harbor is "one of san francisco's premier harbors and is significantly underpriced." the details are in the commission packet. this slide shows you a lot of numbers and details, but essentially, the white barn

amy lee, the executive director of the sentences for redevelopment agency, and i did that. i worked with the engineer to do that. we saw the extent of the long- term expense. i do not need to rush into this. this is a long-term process that has to be done over a long period of time never invest less. she then asked to do every survey, which i did. the results

i want to thank our redevelopment partners and d.p.w. and sfmta and all of our public agency partners for their working together because this does really create that collaboration that is absolutely needed. but there is always someone who i will always cherish for a long, long, long time and certainly for the rest of my life. you know, leader pelosi has been there from the start. you know, we have named something for her as a complement for 25 years. but i'll tell you, that's just going -- sfu you went to any other part of the city whether it is presidio, mission bay, you could easily name another drive there with everybody's support for her because she has been everywhere with us. mission bay did not happen overnight. it required sustained, long determination and commitment action and who has been there frr for all day one and has never ever lessened her commitment to this? that has been leader pelosi. i just want to take this opportunity to thank you, leader, for being with us, not just today, not just for this announcement. i know we'

what i hear is about economics, i am a small-business owner and was impacted by the redevelopment era. my question, and my thought is that, can we find a way to make certain that those who have been impacted by the redevelopment agency have opportunities, economically, and for housing? the beat goes on. it may seem like the sunset of the redevelopment agency may be happy for some state officials, but some of us have been left behind. a few years ago we took the delegation to vallejo, and warned ossie dviavis they were on trouble. the city went bankrupt. this is about how you treat the poor. at the end of the day, nations and states and localities have failed because the poor people do not have an opportunity. i want to put that in the front burner. i thank you for coming out and sharing the information you have on the city budget, thank you. [applause] >> fantastic ideas that we have heard here today. thank you, mayor and supervisors were coming out to hear these ideas. the arts are an incredible value add to san francisco. we bring in an enormous amount to the tourism budget. we hvav

are contained in the redevelopment plan which is the oversight board has the jurisdiction to make those and maybe i could differ to the successor agency. >> i am from the successor agency for redevelopment. josh is partly correct. those controls for in a separate document called the "trans bay development guidelines." those were adopted by3ppcñ the former development agency commission and pursuant to the resolution the board adopted in january, as controls rest with the oversight board. that's the current situation. to amend those, the oversight board would have to change them. i want to note that in the trans bay redevelopment area, we are pursuing that policies that will strictly limit the amount of parking. one of which is under construction and the other will start construction soon. the first one has no parking for 120 units. the next one is a market rate project with 70 affordable units, 479 units total with about 40% parking. we have policies in the trance state guidelines that strictly limit parking. there is, as of right now, regulation because of the board of a separate develo

new york city invested $110 million for the redevelopment of its fish market. in contrast, this proposal does not involve the city at the financing providing capital funds to the market. in conclusion, cities around the country working to develop these food hubs and hold on to the food distribution and aggregation facilities and we're lucky to have a strong one. we encourage you to support this proposal. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm an owner and partner of veggie works inc. in san francisco. our business started in 1992 in the bayview/hunters point area and within seven years, we moved to the san francisco produce market. presently, i have 56 employees. 80% of them live here in san francisco. it breaks down to basically 60% in the mission district, 10% in brno, and 20% are in the bay view area. we do this with quite a few major companies in san francisco. in sunset, we do the high- school and we are to produce supplier for city college culinary arts program. i go back to where we started. we started with seven of us and from ther

what do you think of that plan and the value of redevelopment agencies? >> redevelopment agencies have been very successful. golden gateway, treasure island, bayview. there is no question about it. they have been very beneficial. that said, i have a tremendous amount of respect for the very difficult position governor brown finds himself in. i am not as familiar with the state budget as the local budget. i think the state budget to any casual observer is absolutely broken. it will take radical changes like what the governor is proposing. when the state government gets fixed, whether it is redevelopment or some other local important piece, san francisco will get hurt. there is no way to fix that problem without hurting san francisco and every other city and county in the state. the state has been far outspending what it should. it will come home to roost in the next couple of years. >> was talk about the city's economic development and whether we are on the right track. if we are not, let's talk about the right steps to take. >> i think we're on the right

but governor brown has proposed -- >> governor brown has proposed redevelopment agencies. hawhat are your thoughts on tha? supervisor chu: we currently have plans that really are dependent on having the development agencies and the financing mechanisms that helped it. i think that the redevelopment agency plays a very strong role in the development in some of our more blighted areas. to completely do away with the redevelopment agency would be a significant shock and change to the system, and i think we really need to understand what that will be before it should happen. i am a strong believer that the redevelopment agency played a strong will also in the creation of affordable housing in this city. to the extent that that money is taken away and we are not able to accomplish some of those goals with the financing mechanism, it would be a big step back for the city. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? are we on the right track? what would you like to change about the city's approach to developing the economy? supervisor chu: in some aspects, our e

i want to thank members of our redevelopment agency, the commissioners who are here today that are no longer technically commissioners but they are just as committed today as they were years ago when we had a redevelopment agency because they worked with the city to make sure that this area was not only an area to pay attention to, they were part of the team that leader pelosi and i in my previous days in public works were trying to identify with mohammed about what were the lines of boundaries that we could carve out. what we could do with our infrastructure and how we work with muni

the south -- the mission bay south redevelopment plan. that is a general overview of the agreements. there is an amendment being proposed. the uc executive director for the mission bay hospital is here for questions if you have any. thank you. supervisor cohen: thank you very much. we can go to public comment. supervisor mar: is there anyone from the public who would like to speak? please come forward. we are limiting speakers to 2 minutes. >> my name is susan and i'm the vice president of the dog patch neighborhood association. ucsf presented to our association last year and we voted unanimously to support it. to support fourth street to be a pedestrian and bike path. major emergency vehicles only. we have been advocating for such a plan for years. we feel it will be more pleasant for the hospital environment and for the neighborhood. we do not want to encourage traffic through our neighborhood for vehicles which would use fourth street as a thruway north and south in and out of san francisco, which might be the case as this area becomes

especially in regard to the fact that redevelopment funding has gone away. we are also supportive of the 20 cents -- 20% reduction that we think will help stimulate the production of units. and one of the things that we talked about, how do we get more of the market rate units on site? finally, we are supportive of stabilizing affordable housing fees, and i want to give a little bit of background of one of the amendments that was put forward, the amendment that reduce the threshold from 2/3 two -- [unintelligible] when we were talking about the area plants, we had a hard time coming up with the definition of substantial zoning that would work for all parties. as a concession to those that really didn't want that the definition put in the charter, we agreed to have that be done as part of the legislative process. the idea of a high and out west to find ways to insure -- thank you. >> we have your letter. >> can you please finish your explanation of why the 2/3 threshold was placed into the term sheet? >> just to continue what i was saying previously, the issu

going to the gatt -- to look at. >> i think there is a they need to replace what was lost when redevelopment was indicated. it was a great source of funds for affordable hauser i -- housing, so it is critical but be replaced. >> one question we asked this issue of community involvement and how that would approach reaching out. i wonder if you can talk about that in your approach. >> it is something i have been involved beein. you cannot figure out issues or really get a sense of the issues and the communities in a vote on issues by being at city hall, and it really takes going onto the neighborhoods and seeing sights, so as part of my role on the planet, i would be interested in doing those, and you mentioned the arena of projects, and it would be good to have an arena, but that is a difficult fight -- site, and it is going to be critical to look at how the project is proposed, what is on the arena, how transportation is proposing. >> being appointed to the planning commission, for commissioners that have served, we have lost some questions about her vote scrubland -- we have asked some ques

secondly, the city is absorbing the entire budget of the redevelopment agency into our own budget. you will see that the majority of the increase, as well as some of the increase in the mayor's budget office, is due to that absorption of that function. we are also increasing the costs related to capital services, related to the implementation of federal health care reform, and other growth in the enterprise apartment. notably the puc and airport. in general, the city's proposed two year budget has service reductions, which i think you are aware of. it also includes public safety hiring for police and fire. the police department in one class with the fire department in each year, we include the quota for nonprofit organizations in this city, as well as the $95 million in general fund capital for the next few years. i would like to point out that our reserve position is strong and improving in this budget. our general reserve, which has historically been $25 million, annually rose to 32 million in this budget. in the first year of the budget we have included a state reserve and in th

although with the dissolution of the redevelopment agency and a significant reduction or elimination of local, state, and federal resources, our pipeline has been slowed over the last few years, making progress slower for bringing new units online. in 2012-2013, we expect to have 1250 units subsidized by the local subsidy program and 17 products with 111 units targeted to families. by 2017, losp will subsidize 1450 palomas units. -- homeless unit of the next chart is a new operating subsidies which ranges from 6000 to 11,000 per unit per year. building types include sro's or multi-bedroom apartment units, as well as population, single individuals versus families that very, which causes buildings to operate differently. that is why there is such a range in per unit subsidies. moh staff gathers monitoring information from annual reports, and this information includes specific operating data. we are just beginning the process of going through the information to fully understand how certain populations and building types impact a building's operation. as you can see there, predicted in 2
