the mou language is still an open issue. i hope folks will be working with staff to make sure that language is tight. let's move to the purview of the recommendations and the report and i would like to invite mike martin back up and we will go through each of the items. we've seen a lot of different items and it has been moving along at. it is the volume of it. it is not the most ideal in terms of getting information. what i hope we do is to go through in detail what those proposed changes are so we're well aware and all the same page. >> thank you. i will run through a number of the items that were raised at the last hearing including the ones from budget and legislative analysis. i summarized this in a chart which we have handed out. there are other copies on the stand over there. what we have tried to do is crystallize the issues we saw coming out of that where possible and where needed. we worked with our partner to strike a mutual agreement. we can come back and say this is something we are prepared to move forward with.

supervisor kim: i understand the mou is not part of the file. my vote on moving the dda out of committee is contingent on finding and mou that is to our satisfaction. i have expressed it is important for me to see a $12 million commitment by june 30. i do not -- it was not in the amillia that we would get reimbursed based on actual costs and we are exposing the city to a lot of risk with the dda that is moving forward. it would make me feel more comfortable that there was a cushion for general fund in terms of how we're protecting that. i would like to see the mou hammered out before we move this out. before it comes to the full board. supervisor farrell:. as a non committee member i have been given a number of the documents here. i imagine it is a last minute for one year. in terms of working on the committing with these folks. i spent a lot of time here. we are really lucky to have kerry running this and have someone like mark buell chairing the committee. some of the press has been taking people to task that we do not have $12 million. i hope

we have been in conversations about what the mou would look like, and in part, we were looked at -- wewere looking at the pledges to date. we will be happy to share that with you as the dialogue goes forward so you can understand. chair chu: i think that would be good because we are looking at spending over time. we might say we are going to get $30 million, we are hopeful to get $20 million, but that is a very big cash flow issue for the city to contend with, so i am wondering if the comptroller's office did speak about some ideas you are batting around in regards to an mou? >> we have talked to mr. martin about this. i think what would be ideal is a quarterly schedule that would speak not just to the cash but to the incumbrance needs because we have that. it speaks by quarter and through the events. as you know, we're working towards for the first time a two-year budget for the city and county of san francisco that will cover not just the coming fiscal year but the fiscal year thereafter for the timing of the event, and as you were mentioning, chair chu, we would match the incumbranc

next, clear language on the mou schedule with the organizing committee is important. that should come along prior to was approving the dda, and i think we need stronger language. i don't think any side is at fault, given the tentative language that was put in place around endeavors and the polls. i think we need to make clear the outcomes that we can commit to ensure the risk with the of that authority. i think i have some very clear reservations about our general funds being used to fund this event when we have some in the service needs and gaps already existing in the city. some of them were discussed earlier today at the budget committee, but we continue to get cuts from the federal and state of all. i don't think i need to educate anyone about that in this room, but we have difficult decisions to make in june, and i would prefer that the america's cup is not one of the bourbons at the table the next three years. i would still like to look at the 11% interest rate. i am not sure if that is the appropriate interest rate of return. i would like a re-evaluation of the

the third point on the mou, i did want to see stronger language in terms of the guarantee we would get from the america's cup organizing committee. i understand the dynamic nature of fund-raising and how challenging it is to pinpoint a number on the committee to fund raise. i am uncomfortable about the exposure that we are bringing to the general fund without some sort of guarantee. i am open to continuing to discuss that paul paul -- point. the last piece that i think i am very start on is the 1% on the second sale of condos. that is something that i think most of my colleagues have stated last week was a bottom line for this committee and for many of the colleagues that don't sit on this committee. that is where i am stuck now, to move this out of committee. i don't want to continue it to next week. i do think that timing is important. i do want that issue resolved. -one of the questions was what it would mean to dedicate the proceeds, the 1% and proceeds, to affordable housing, which is something that is a big interest and a high priority to the district that represent, increasing r

they have agreed to move the dates for piers 19, 19.5, and 23 to december 31, 2013. as we mentioned earlier, there is an mou between the general fund and the poor to that backfills support for lost rent revenue. the port can relet these areas sinner. what we have agreed is for the city and the port to take over the obligation to put out the notice to voters. that was something we had agreed as of mitigation measure under ceqa. it will provide the duration about safe boating habits and where the races will be. it is something the port is excited to embrace. we thought it was more properly placed with a public agency. we feel like this exchange benefit both parties and we're happy to bring it forward. supervisor avalos: a question on that. what were some of the short term, what were the sites used for? what kind of tenants did we have in the spaces? >> the question was what did the poured in 10 for the use of some of the short-term -- supervisor avalos: my question was looking back before the discussion of the america's cup. who were the tenants in the short-term lease properties? i have another question afte

depending on when it is we have the mou language completed, to amend the resolution, would we -- with like to take action on that today. >> if the desire is to have the board conduct the hearing on the amendments next tuesday, it would be important to act on the amendments and make them today so that is what is sorted out. supervisor chu: thank you. i see no questions from the committee. let's move on. >> item 8 is not for the budget analyst report. it was the topic of discussion during public comment. the talk about the neighborhood engagement strategy. the arts organizations, youth organizations, small businesses, neighborhood organizations. we drafted a memo that describes the progress we made to date. that is available and we provided it to you. we're looking forward to discussing at -- discussing that. i wanted to emphasize our overall strategy. this was finding a way to reach out to every neighborhood in the city and bring them into this event and as high-profile international opportunity to bring visitors to the neighborhood and the neighborhood to the visitors. the london olym

the mou process is not currently working. some of the housing have ability programs.he other thing is we need to definitely think about how the stability of these housings. hopefully that is a piece of legislation you will create to make laws more stricter when people move into housing. i am also thinking about -- i think the case managers at these places need specialized training so they will be able to help people get into housing and where the housing is, and how to navigate the process. i think i was given a housing application that was pretty much as big as this book. they expect me to fill that out. it is not a simple issue dealing with this, so i think you have to figure out how to bring more jobs into the city and county of san francisco. i also feel you have a problem with accountability system. i just feel like they should not have come from the coalition of homeless. this should have come from the local coordinating home was board. this is overrun by service providers are you are not getting the information. i find it problematic that this guy is going to p

the general fund is reimbursing the lost rent under the mou and these are offset by the general fund. we estimate the cost to be $6.4 million and that will change either at the front end or the back and and get smaller and it would reduce it what the general fund pays us and that is what the budget analyst recommendations. the tenant relocation payments, security staffing, all of the short term project staffs not all of the short term project costs. we would be reimbursed contingent upon america's cup organizing committee fund raising. we have included a port ride a fund for the project costs as a contingency but we may in fact be reimbursed. in short, the short-term impact as two funding sources. the capital projects that are required as a result are over and on the planned port projects. they include the pier 36 removal, we have a budget for that. we were happy that the requirements that are in the dda match the project we were planning to perform. we do have a new requirement which is to install shoreside power at pier 70. this is required as a mitigation. this is a $5.7 million pr

we fully support the mou signed in december between the united nations and the government of iraq. and it includes commitments from the iraqi government for the safety and security of the new camp where the relocation is taking place. as you know, there were 397 residents relocated on february 18th. there were complications. but it was peaceful. there was no violence. the safety so far has been protected and we're watching that very closely. we continue to work on our review of the mek's designation as a foreign terrorist organization in accordance with the d.c. circuit's decision and applicable law. i would note that not every resident relocated to what used to be camp liberty, is now camp perea, may be an mek member. the organization's structure and history dictate that we take a serious look at each individual, not prejudge membership or the condition of that person's presence at ashrof. once again, the unhcr process will be expedited. so no government has raised the fto issue with the department of state as a bar to receiving individuals. and we're going to continue to work to

with them, even though the mou was sitting on the state department's desk ready to sign. this amendment would ensure ferc could not be similarly dilatory in executing an mou with my home state. this gives our home -- my home state a path forward on this issue, instead of being in limbo as they are now. the third of the three amendments to section 3 would clarify the holder of any permit issued under the act may begin construction of portions of the pipeline while the proposed nebraska route modification is being determined. last change in this amendment comes in section 4. i'm clarifying only federal law i intend to supersede with this legislation is a requirement a presidential permit must be obtained for the pipeline. this change was brought up in the rule 11 hearing from the first panel. all other federal and state laws continue to apply. by taking the issue out of the president's hands and entrusting the issue with an expert pipeline agency, i hope we can depoliticize the issue and get the pipeline and jobs and energies that comes with this pipeline. with tha

this week, theç legislative sponsor amended it to ensure that the mou for relocating tenants of thisrty conforms with the central subway's relocation study. the study was adopted by the board in 2010. the item has been recommended by approval, and the full board on tuesday of this week did vote to approve it on first reading. also at the board was final approval for all the ordinances related to the community plan, the culmination of 10 years' worth of planning. çlastly, i wanted to share thre items that were introduced as new items this week. one is a motion authorizing the budget analyst to perform three audits, one of which does relate to planning. the item of interest is an audit of the city departments management and oversight of the former agency's assets and functions, and that was introduced by supervisorç farrell. supervisor and board president chu interest the extensions for the ne legislation, which you heard a couple of weeks ago. this will allow you to hear it within the precise time limit when you our next here on march 1. lastly, there will be a hearing on the legisl

i want to see language around the mou in asserting what sort of protection is the city will have just in case fund-raising is not worthy to be. many of us support supervisor avalos' issues around local hiring. i want to make sure the pier 29 issues, that is a minor detail, but i want to make sure that is settled cleanly by tuesday. i know there will be discussion about whether this moves out of committee today. one possibility, if we need half a day to figure out where we are because we have received an awful lot of paper, that means possibly we recess until tomorrow morning. i have been told that the clerk has informed as we have until 2:00 tomorrow afternoon to finalize the written amendments that might go to a committee next tuesday. that is a possibility. it is up to the committee to decide whether that might be enough time to resolve other issues, or whether we need another week. commissioner avalos: i was thinking more than tomorrow morning. i also have the district meeting tomorrow morning as well. that is the difficulty for me. just to piggyback on what supervisor campos had s

it was in the 250 a mou. why were we left out? i was told by a trusty that it was logistically impossible to locate those still in the property. we do not agree. most of us are retired drivers receiving city benefits. therefore, the city has our contact information. notice to these retired operators should be sent by certified mail. the truth is that no such efforts were attended by these trusties. no one even tried to get in contact with us. we know that there is still money in the trust fund. use this money to pay out our $1,880 each, which is fair and equitable. if you think we are too old and senile to understand that we have been bamboozled, this is our first step in trying to right this wrong. we hope that it can be resolved at this level. if not, we are prepared to the gate and file appropriate criminal charges. are there any questions? >> thank you very much. >> thank you for your time. >> members of the board, any questions or comments? we cannot take action on the calendar today, but we definitely appreciate your showing

in terms of the mta project, the department of technology, the department of mar emergency management got together in 2009 and established an mou for a coronation in regards to coronation -- to a communication. the parties decided at that time or thereafter because of the specialized needs of the transit system, the extent to which the communications system within our vehicles, the transit vehicles was point to integrate with many other aspects of the transit system such as the scheduling system, the camera systems, the transit signal systems, the communicating with the automatic vehicle locator, the gps system. because of the specialized nature and the need to integrate many other transit systems, and the mta pursuit the design and development strategy for a system. this is a fully funded system panther leader in the final weeks of negotiation with the contractors that we get through a competitive process and are ready to execute a contract to design and build up that system. this has been done in the ordination with dem and dt under the terms of our mou. this will enable full into opera ability and provincially -- and potenti
