back in january, we issued a prospectus that solicited those proposals for development of 530 sansome. four proposals were received. we did not -- we then headed team review those proposals, rank them, of those four, you see the four that were received and the bidders made them and the ranking. this was the more complex of the projects. this was the more robust in terms of gross square footage, and therefore, this also had the greatest yield to the city. to fold, one in terms of just straight revenue for the sale of the property, and two in terms of fees that would be generated by the project. let's talk a little bit specifically about the proposal in front of you. this would replace the fire station, that was one of our key drivers. we have an existing fire station , fairly robust, and it was built in the 1960s, but could use some further seismic strengthening, more importantly, it is a bit dysfunctional because the age of the facility, and so this new fire station will address health and safety issues that we have heard loud and clear from the members to make it more functional on t

odette sansom isn't the first, there was also a woman named lise de baissac who is a very different.dette sansom was very -- in aristocrat and came from an island off the coast of africa that had been french captured in the napoleonic war england used as a cooling stop on the way to its far east empires and she spoke french, and if she had a british passport and lived in paris most of her adult life that day that hitler marches and she becomes an enemy alien. if she stays in france, she will end up in a concentration camp so she flees and get to london where her brother is already working for the secret government agency, hands her name to the recruiter and for her it is a very commonsense position. why wouldn't i do everything to save france? there is no balance for her. she's the second female paratrooper ever in history, but this is what captured my imagination about the story she was commanding troops in normandy on d-day and we don't know about her. there were soldiers under her command answering to her orders when the allies arrived she was the second behind enemy lines. on the

abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez is live at a fire station on sansom. this is a different fire than when joanne hayes white took office over 15 years ago. >> oh, completely different, dan. phone years ago, we didn't have the number of people that we have today. 15 years ago, the homeless situation was not what it is today. now when that fire bell rings behind me, it's very likely that they will not be responding to a fire. i'm told that more than 80% of the time they are responding to medical and rescue calls. >> i janine nicholson. >> she is known as an insider who has gained the respect of the rank and file. >> she has been a paramedic. she has been a firefighter. she has been a lieutenant, a captain, a battalion chief, and now deputy chief of the department. >> as chief, she vows to address the homeless crisis, which has overburdened the fire department because of the high number of emergency responses on city streets. >> have more access, more outreach to the homeless and opioid addicted people on our streets. it's really important that we work with

odette sansom was a mother with three little girls, french born living in one and she married an english man and the government called. her husband was at the front so she was a single mother alone and she was given this choice to help england, help europe, help democracy can't leave your kids behind. and i found this a very challenging choice. who leaves three little girls potentially motherless. the author was at the front of the potentially parentless. and odette framed the entire conversation in a mother's language. she said what happens to my little a l girls if england is . if it isn't just europe but hitler has come about unless democracy england is also taken over, then where do they go, what kind of world are they growing up in, shouldn't i as a mother do everything i can to make it safe for them even if i means leaving them flex so she did. shehe joined the war. she was in the very first class of women to come to the combats of the first women in combat with 39 women like odette. they were mothers, divorcees cut some were about to become grandmothers aged from 22 to 55 and they

just parenthetically, you read about station 13, on sansome and the city, in conversations with the developer, we have been sharing the conversations we've garnered and we feel that puts the city in the best position to assert its prerogative which is to expect a full and complete facility no matter who provides it. >> great. thank you for such a thoughtful response. thank you for bringing up the pg&e and how that's going. that's -- this is not the first time that we've heard that, actually, and we don't meet that often, so we don't talk about bonds that often, so the fact that we've heard it multiple times i think is interesting. i think as we look at the work plan or the c.s.a. draft work plan, we can look at that. >> yeah. the challenge ultimately is if we have to expend funds or seek to expend funds to accomplish work that we really believe is be-holden to pg&e to provide, that puts us in an uncomfortable position of having to collect satisfactions through some legal action which may not yield your point, i th the same letter went to the mayor and the governor as to the board, from my exp

take the building on sansome and battery with the hotel and residential attached and some commercial. how does that allocation done and is there any favoritism offered in any way where there's a mixed use with residential where's desirable. >> in terms of how we mix it up the allocation is only required for the office portion. it's not uncommon for a project that requires an office allocation to also acquire other authorization for the other project whether it's conditional use or large office authorization and those authorizations look more at the total project. the office allocation is focussing just on the office portion of the project so whether it's an office project or a mixed use the allocation is just for the office. so to your question about whether or not there's favoritism given to mixed use or certain uses, there's nothing specifically within the criteria of prop m that caused that out. if the planning commission think that's an important aspect of it they have the prerogative to have that opinion and have that affect their vote. >> if there's a million square foot project

what is in front of the board today are just class two bike lanes on battery and sansom in m.t.a. jurisdiction. they are a one-way street, two lanes in each direction, as well as vallejo street and davis, which are one lane in each direction, more local streets, and the idea is to improve conductivity within the neighborhood, which is separated from the waterfront, and the topography of telegraph hill from downtown. as well as trying to take some pressure off of the embarcadero as we look for more substantive infrastructure. i'm also managing the embarcadero hanson project, which is aiming to add a protected to wait bikeway on the waterside. that project will take some time really the intent is to get onto the ground improvements in the area both on the embarcadero at the sight of the hit and run, and within the neighborhood. so over the past four to six months, we have quickly tried to do robust outreach to the neighborhood. we have had held four community meetings, we had a mailer to a large project area which was followed by a well attended walking tour of the area in the proje
