also, i see still the most ambitious effort in san francisco redevelopment at genuine community building with tihdi, the good neighbors, the dedicated project-specific staff, all of which we do not have, for example, in mission bay. i can speak to you as a resident of mission bay north for five years. there is nothing like that there. but there is on treasure island. we have incorporated as much advanced technology for waste water treatment as can be done -- that has been done in san francisco to date. we have incorporated the most favorable relocation transition plan for existing residents of any project in city history. and of course we have the most ambitious, the most extensive transportation mitigation program of any development in san francisco. it is the first to use congestion pricing. it is the first dedicated ferry system within the city. and the controls, the metering, and other medications to address the issue of impact -- there is nothing like this that has ever been attempted in the city before. this is far and away the most visionary and most community- responsive project

millions of dollars, wasted by the san francisco redevelopment agency, and we know all of the corruption. this is on treasure island development -- nothing is given in detail. the san francisco general hospital, which is over their budget, much of this is not set. you have other types of -- what happened in wall street and on the national level. you have the algorithms, so far and so forth. we are very astute people. we have the board of supervisors -- we cannot afford to push under the rug certain things that the constituents of said francisco have yet to hear about. we have to do is stop attending meetings like this. we have the documentation, we have the documentation -- and thank you very much for hearing my comments. i want to thank those with the freedom of information act for doing a wonderful job. thank you. >> to the next speaker? >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have lived here for 59 years. lately, speaker mentioned that they did have jurisdiction under laguna at the general hospital. in her later comments, i did not hear about any other organization being mentioned. i am a l

redevelopment. i should note that san francisco is unique in its ability to convert from a redevelopment model to an ifb model. they get more of a share of the property tax than other cities. most cities only get about 10% or 20% of that. it is not as easy of a transfer from redevelopment. it reduces project funding. by about $130 million. we believe that there are 6 costs that we cannot change. there are $15 million in payments and participation. we need to replace all of the utilities. we need to stabilize the island. we need to compact the soil. there are areas where we can make up for that. the most notable being the transportation community facilities. we'd like to make a recommendation. how we make up for the difference. we also talked about other options. we are asking policymakers to consider. we are having numerous discussions. we are meeting privately with interest groups to get their response and reaction to the proposals on the table. after much thought and looking at how the deal is structured and how it works, our recommendation is to make a reduction in the affordable housing componen

so, the san francisco redevelopment agency is before with you with a request for authorization of tax incement for $6,1,500 for the use of bayview hunters buoyant. for contract administration for the arelious walker stairway improvement project as well as construction bid management and project closeout for this city-owned public right of way. and on the projecter you have a map of where it's located. it's adjacent to india basin, it's within the bayview hunters point project area. so it's a 150-foot stairway and it's currently in disrepair and there's tripping hazards, there's been erosion and there's also vegetation overgrowth. in 2009 the agency applied for a grant to improve this stairway through the san francisco county transportation authority in the amount of $1.1 million and we received that award and transferred it to the e.p.w. for implementation. we also worked with e.p.w. on the full cost of the project which resulted in the additional cost needed to complete this project for $61,500. the proposed project seeks to improve the blighted conditions by with installing new hand

. >> the san francisco redevelopment agency is in charge of this. all that they have left -- >> this was a for-profit project. >> as certain amount of the homes -- those are the ones left to be sold. there was a lottery last week but did not know if they have had success. >> commissioners, the motion on the floor is for the adoption of the resolution to raise the absolute limit for the additional shadowing. this would be 0.44%. the theoretically available at unit. this is for sunlight. on that motion -- >> [reading roll] >> moore and sugaya voted against. that motion passed. >> we need that motion from the recreation and park commission. >> we should raise this for gene frey recreation center for the theoretical square hours of sunlight. >> before we call the roll, the last time that we were here, there were some comments that people did not hear very much from us. this has been heard twice from the parks and recreation commission. it would be tempting to get into some of the planning issues, the primary responsibility is to provide quality to recre

whereas under the redevelopment scenario it would have been a redevelopment agency like the san francisco redevelopment agency, with land use authority and control over all development in the island -- seeing that we are not doing this through redevelopment, the planning commission would retain most of the jurisdiction through future development -- construction of buildings, etc.. non-trust property would fall under the jurisdiction of the planning department. chairperson mar: can i ask a question was raised at the hearing? how can the public be assured there would be strong accountability of the structures within this unusual redevelopment ifp structure? will we have strong public transparency likely would after a normal development? >> tihdi is a commission. there is oversight by the board of supervisors. the contracts entered after a certain level are approved by the board of supervisors. the board of supervisors would have to authorize the issuance of future ifp's. there is some accountability as with other city agencies. another issue that came up was whether the bonds are riskier than redevelopme

redevelopment statewide is in need of reform. san francisco 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 to min

but just a couple of things -- i am fred blackwell from the san francisco redevelopment agency. we are not a general fund department. we are funded through a mechanism called tax increment financing, which basically means in redevelopment project areas, with give the intrigue -- we give the increases and property tax developments and put that money back into its product development areas. our product areas in district 10 are bayview hunters point, and the hunters point shipyard, basically. our biggest budget question this year -- if you have not been reading the newspaper -- is whether or not we will be around. the governor, as part of his budget in january, proposed the elimination of redevelopment agencies statewide. the current status right now in sacramento is that the governor does not have the 2/3 votes needed to actually move that proposal forward. there is rumor that the proposal may be redrafted in a way that will allow him to pursue a majority vote in the legislature. it is not clear as to whether or not the majority is there to eliminate redevelopment. that all being

san francisco treasure island. >>jonathan: the wind shear on san francisco treasure island is always blowing. that's why the people with redeveloping the island have proposed new structures. the streets are designed to let in the sun from over here while keeping out the wind from over here. the problem is the city's fire marshal said she was concerned that the new slanted streets could propose a problem fire engines trying to navigate in the event of an emergency. we caught up with a fire chief who said that the concern she doesn't share. >> i don't share that concern, very confident that studies were done this process is good to go. >> if you think in san francisco market street, at 26 t of neighborhoods where streets needed different angles and those intersections are safe. >>jonathan: she said after

wanted to highlight is that the creation of moad is one of the flagship creations of the redevelopment of san franciscog? the regency, right? >> the st. regis museum tower. >> the st. regis museum tower, which is one of the development projects that was promoted by the redevelopment agency is what allows the city to -- and the development agency to give form and establish moad in the yerba buena cultural district. now, we are looking at governor brown oppose a proposal, which means that in the future, it he is successful, they would not have had the rebel the agency to promote these economic and cultural projects. it is something that has relevance today in terms of public policy today, what is going to happen in the future if we do not have a redevelopment agency to promote this development. >> yes. moad is the result or culmination of a public/private partnership that included the redevelopment agency and former mayor brown, and included the developer of this area. we had an opportunity to develop, create important cultural components of this

same with redevelopment. san francisco is unique in that it gives a much larger share pre-tax revenue than, say, san jose. again, san francisco is unique in its ability to use isd funding. for treasure island, there are two areas where we do not change in two areas where the project does essentially change. there is no change to the physical project. the project would talk about, the 8000 units, parks and open space remain the same period the eir we're doing will remain the same. the transaction structure also unchanged. tida remains -- it does not remain a redevelopment agency. it becomes a non-profit public benefit corporation that was created before it was given the powers. it would still enter into the the development agreement with the developer, much the way it did under development. the two major changes, because this is a city project and not a development project -- the land use authority will be housed trough -- house within the planning department. projects like mission bay, the authority for land use decisions
