those types are exactly the types of projects we would use for contracts in. you would have seen those and you would see all small capital projects because you -- you approve the concept design. if we had a project that involved -- give me an example of a deferred maintenance projects that we might not otherwise bring before the commission. >> i wanted to point to a couple of tangible projects that you are aware of. the richmond basketball court, which was contingency funds from the open space. we use a contractor for that. to address the question about sunnyside, president buell approved funding for the kitchenette program which came before you for approval. the contractor that we will use for that project expires. other projects where we have used contrasting, for instance, campbell part -- kimball playground. i am breaking that into pieces, for instance, replacing sidewalks and street trees. the projects that we do execute through this program do come before you in different forms and fashions. there are small projects that we do on a routine basis. for inst

project. i have been a member of the athletic club for quite some time. i have used the tennis courts but i'm speaking for the project. i also have a law office close to pier 31, but i am too lazy to walk. i use that parking lot that is currently open to the public. so i have a stake in the current position of the status quo, and what changes might be made. it appears to me, based on what i have seen and heard, the proposal about the specific waterfront partners and port is a vast improvement over the parking lots and tennis courts that now occupy the site. based on the work of this same team -- and this side has been virtually the same for the last 40 years -- the question is, will it stand for another 40 years, as it is now in its current devolving state? based on the work of the same team across the street, i do not see it is much of a question about the kind of product they can and have produced to introduce a certain quality to the street. as the port staff has concluded, there are a substantial amount of funds that will be brought to the port and city, money th

parts in public-service programming, office of improvement, and programming for our tent next to use projects. this will be an enormous increase and that general fund and a much-needed increase for the central market because previously the redevelopment agency would have provided a good deal of these funds. this allows for the continuation of important programs, just now under these to the family. the bayview initiative would include $1.2 million and continue work under the redevelopment agency, including $600,000 for passat and tenant improvement programs. this would be solely focused on third street corridor and bayview and represents a commitment that would have been met by the redevelopment agency. it keeps that corridor at a base line. it also includes funding for activation events and funding at the focus of the plaza and money to the use for mixed use development projects. supervisor cohen: about the third street corridor bayview -- which section of third street are we talking? are we specific talking best -- specifically talking evans to paul? >> it is not restricted. something we wan

as he said, we did have our third party consultant there to look at our projections for us. on the concept of an audit, it is difficult to see how you can audit projections. what we tried to do is the latter. supervisor? supervisor campos: do you have something that you can share? >> these are confidential numbers. we negotiated that we needed to see them. that is part of what we insisted on in drafting the agreement. since these are proprietary numbers, for sharing those with us, the condition was that we would report on the conclusions but that we could not share those numbers with you. supervisor: we are here to provide oversight to the deal which the branch is recommending. how can we in good conscience conclude that what you are proposing is corrected your abasing part of your recommendation on numbers that we have not seen? so are you telling me that we are supposed to take a leap of faith year and assumed that the numbers you see are correct? >> this is part of the reason that we are doing this. we want to revisit that and provide protection so you do not have to take

project. what can you tell us about that? >> the march on milwaukee several history rights project is digital archive, online archive of sources relating to mostly the struggle for open housing and school desegregation in 1960s milwaukee. it includes oral histories but also includes text documents, photographs and video foodage, news footage from a local tv station at the time. >> what do you find the biggest challenge is because your document, both of you are relatively recent history. we're talking in the case of the civil rights into the '60s, '50s and '60s in the case of the -- the japanese heritage project, the 1940s or so. what are the biggest challenges in terms of finding original source material? >> well, we had at my university, university of wisconsin milwaukee, we had a lot of the documents already in our physical archives, so the challenge was to make them more accessible and to give them kind of a context so that students in milwaukee in particular but beyond could learn more about their city and its history. >>

we have the model and how we operate, with the trauma center and the you see us project -- ucs project. with the critical injury that happens in the community, we have the system set up, as he alluded to, to deal with the crs program. 80% of the time, we get a call fro mthm the community. we need to verify the situation from public health. we want to cut the many rumors that may be going through the community to make certain that there is clear information for the families and victims when there is a shooting in the community.

project. i have a number of amendments i would like us to consider. because this is a complicated project, i suspect it might be easier to consider the amendments one at a time. i have circulated them to you. first i would like to propose hast to deal with the $5 million that would be paid from the city to the developer in order to create the public improvements that are supposed to be a benefit to the city. mr. rose and his team in the budget analyst report pointed this out as a bit of an anomaly because typically when a developer says to us, "we will provided the benefit of open space" they pay for that. in this case, the city is paying the developer $5 million in order for us to receive that. i did not think you can get credit for a community benefit if the city is going to pay for it. i have proposed an amendment to item 20, which says -- refers to that fact and states that our approval of this resolution is contingent on a revision that removes the public reimbursement of $5 million. you have the language in front of you. colleagues, at this time,

the commercial mixed-use project is located west of intertate 580. it will be completed by early twenty 13. >>> i'll tell you where we're going to see the triple dimminget heat. >>> the invite said its event went out last night. microsoviet union claims they have huge -- microsoft claims they have human news. could it be the next gaming console? perhaps their ceo is stepping down! it could be any of these things. but most of the analysts i spoke believe it will be when microsoft moves into the tablet world. they will show a tablet running the windows operation system. this will be the device created to take on the ipad. rob agrees with other analysts i spoke with who say is this very strange behavior for microsot. they want to -- microsoft. the short notice could be a deliberate move. >> appeg is not -- apple is not expecting a major move from microsoft. they could catch apple sleeping and completely unaware of the hit. this would be one of the few times that microsoft stole a march on apple. >> reporter: get into kron4 news monday at 5:00 pm. we wil

very balanced approach has been taken with the beauty and balancing height throughout the project. -- in using the p u d and balancing height throughout the project. the waterfront will not be blocked. at the same time, the new -- the developer has contracted with a masterful and graceful architect, and they will benefit as for many years to come. thank you very much. please come and vote for all of the amendments that you need to vote for today. >> thank you. >> tecate -- good afternoon, commissioners. my name is michael mckenna. i represent 2500 members working year in san francisco. i am also a native san franciscan. i began my career on the waterfront in the ship-repair industry. the changes i obscene -- i have seen in the last 25 to 30 years with the rebuilding of the freeway, the rebuilding of the ferry terminal, the development of south beach -- those were not communities until they were built. i have seen this project and what it through various stages of planning and boards of supervisors. to me, it seems like a great project. it seems like the height limits addresses the existing hei

project. they are participating with us. it is important to mention matt with cal fha and msha. without these sources of funding, projects like this cannot happen. it is all the various sources including the redevelopment agency that allowed a project like this to function without permanent debt. people who really need support to housing do not have the kinds of income that are going to be able to support debt. it is due to rda funding, proposition funding. i encourage us all to keep working to make sure these sources of financing or substitute sources become available so we can keep doing these projects. thank you very much. [applause] >> my name is calvin welch. unaccustomed as i am to speaking with brevity in public, i have taken the opportunity to beat the bet that i cannot do this in two minutes. i have written my remarks. rene was part of a movement of community-based people committed to providing housing opportunities in san francisco. through his and others' efforts, 25,000 units a permanently affordable housing have been produced, a record unequaled in the united states.

estate and all the exciting things of the future city come to fruition, the notion of an term used project is being questioned and is of concern to many people, the idea that you can do something temporarily and see benefit to that. when we first received a notice -- if i may go on for just a moment here -- when we first received notice a year ago that the development plans were going to proceed, we were excited about the opportunity to sit and work with the mayor's office and a number of neighborhood and community-based organizations to identify additional spaces. one of the lessons i learned was an urban farm is something worth understanding a little about. [tone] it's not always going to be a very large space. what i would like to see is a community that has spaces throughout the neighborhood. some available for thing slyke composting, some for tools, some for class's and i don't think we need to have it all in one large space, but many spaces. as i stand here before you, i teach at the community gardens as well as two days in the bayview doing a job training program with some of the mo

i will start with van ness us rapid transit project. we have achieved important milestones with this project. we will bring forward the recommendation following closely on the heels as the bus rapid transit project. current work is on the environmental transportation analysis. we have begun our ouutreach to provide the community with updates on the community project. these are a set of open houses scheduled for the end of june. now i will call on michael schwartz to come up and talk about additional authority-let phases. >> good morning, chair and commissioners. the next betty in the packet is the better market street package, which came with a package amendment, and we will make an informational meeting. if there are any additional questions, i will move on to the next slide, which is other a 40-let projects. it is a multi-agency project. this involved looking at different policies and pilot for transportation management. we will have upcoming studies in the neighborhood transportation plan. that is being covered as part of the trends

we're seeing more and more of this, it seems like every controversial land-use project as a ceqa appeal to the board, and then there is the ensuing litigation that consumes city attorney resources, and then it gets billed to departments. the planning department sometimes ends up absorbing ceqa litigation costs. we're trying to go through a ceqa reform process at the state level, but i think it is really important for people to understand the cost of this incessant ceqa litigation in cases that are maybe marginal at best. i just wanted to see your perspective. >> yeah, we have seen an increase in its ceqa litigation over the course of the past several years. the planning department has increased its work order for this type of work. it has been difficult with mandatory furloughs and the like over the course of the last several years. i know we have talked about this. i think you will see an improvement in that because of a change in the budget situation. our lawyers will be more available than they have been recently. but the planning department, we have been in consultation with them, a

project. most of you know that last week, both at land use and at our budget committee, there were two hearingsconsider various items related to the project approvals, which we have in front of us. in case not every single one of you watched every single minute of those hearings, i wanted to take a moment to summarize the main points we learned in those two committees. for the record, both committees pass these items out without a recommendation. first of all, out of land use, we understand that this is a project asking for truly significant an extraordinary violence. the 62% hike increase, 200% will increase, 400% parking increase. many of us were eager to learn from the budget committee what benefits the city would receive in return for providing the developer the extraordinary entitlements that he could be provided through the project approvals today. many of us were surprised to hear from our budget analyst at our budget analyst estimates for the financial benefits to the city for this project were about $50 million less than what the port or developer were telling us. $96 million compared

commercial mixed use project will be located west of interstate 580 in southeast oakland. construction is scheduled to begin immediately and will be completed by early 2013. >>pam: state lawmakers have approved the state budget on time. passing a budget before tonight's midnight deadline means that lawmakers will not be docked pay for each day that the budget is late. >> lawmakers passed the main budget bill, controversial bills like fighting for the high-speed rail and eligibility rules for welfare will be hashed >> there have been a series of home break-ins in concord. and in the past seven days. three of them your money in a boulevard. it is a pattern. to solve one of these burglaries occurred during the day. >>jaqueline: here is a live look outside from the mt. tam cam. a very hazy picture. stagnant air over the bay area. we will have hot conditions this weekends. it was fairly warm, especially away from the coastline. temperatures in the '80s in our inland valleys. 70's in the south bay and 60 in oakland. 54 and half moon bay. ron >>jaqueline: into the afternoon, a wi

that, one of the reasons why i thought it was important to not only follow the projects in the works, but to give each one of us to highlight the project or issues that are not in the pipeline that should be in the pipeline, and i think the comment that commissioner chiu made is right on point. hopefully as we go through each district presentation, you can talk about some of those projects or issues that you still need to be added. i appreciate that. a general question to staff. and as you are going through these discussions with commissioners, sort of what is the process for possibly including things that may not be currently in the works. and >>> just to make it clear fr the folks watching, the authority does not come up with the projects. however, the board has of tremendous amount of influencing. certainly let us know what your priorities are is fantastic. i cannot emphasize enough the window is extremely important, because we have the vehicle registration fee, closed to $38 million in area grant funds, and a tremendous amount of proper k funds, so this is the chance for the board to put its mark on the hot

the original plan for the project was to build a pipeline using two different construction contracts. both of these will be completed by the approved project schedule. however, during construction, we discovered an extensive archaeological burial site in the vicinity, which is on the peninsula, and it was determined it would be most cost-effective and efficient to deal with it by my " tunneling under the site using separate construction contracts -- by micro-tunneling under the site. i wanted to point out that back in july -- since july 2011, this commission also approved a significant increase of $13.9 million for the construction of this overall project due to issues related to the east bay contracts and that additional money was needed to address unforeseen side conditions. there were a lot of impacted properties. the treatment and disposal of groundwater as well as the need [inaudible] finally, the third project has been affected by a number of issues as well. we have encountered the current site conditions related to the added bills related to the existing facility. there needed

in this project was used in the space program. but never deployed in a commercial scale, utility scale project. this gave it the opportunity to do that, and i am happy to report it is operating successfully. >> i just want to say, mr. chairman, that when we have an isolated look at what the program has actually done, we have a program here that suggests it could be working within the context in which it was designed. on the other hand, there are legitimate questions that are raised by dr. de rugy about, you know, the risk involved. just in this case, it looks like it might be working. but i think that we still need to have some caution here. i ask unanimous consent, moments ago, mr. chairman, you made public the e-mail your staff received. i have documents that would refute that. two official d.o.e. documents. they certify that the commencement of construction and refute the allegations that have been made. and i ask that these be submitted in the record. and i appreciate your consideration. >> without objection. >> thank you. >> m

and each project must be judged on the package of its benefits. we appreciate that they use the achievement workers on this project, and this is largely the result of the economic justice and community covenant -- with the prevailing wages, and there in the state approved a program that would give them real middle-class jobs. and a career in the trades. we share these concerns, that they have been put forward -- and you know that they have had significant problems out of the ocean avenue project, where the out of city construction workers were employed and played wages -- paid wages, and the first source higher policy calls that a plan be submitted to the city, but how many and what type of new hires will be placed on the project. considering avon bay's part in this project -- this should be reviewed and we currently have over 50 san francisco residents, with some tough neighborhoods. they need to work on this project. over the next three years, you will vote on projects just like this for dozens of construction and it -- construction hours, and only with the right kind of p

project on april 26. elizabeth will go over those with you in a moment. i want to emphasize a couple of things from a land use/planning standpoint. we believe through the extensive partnership with city agencies and cpmc, we now have a project that works. i will say there are very few places in the city where a product of this size and importance can work outside of downtown. i think this is one of those sites. we believe we've got to replace where the project works from a transportation stamp point, a design standpoint, housing standpoint. i know barbara will talk to you about the health care component of the agreement. collectively, we believe the project works and we feel comfortable recommending it to you. we believe we can move forward with it. i know there will be a lot of discussion about that. i want to decide that from our standpoint, we believe that through the the work we've done, a product is a good and workable project for the long term benefit of the city. i will turn it over to ken rich. thank you. >supervisor mar: mr. rich? thank you. >> there we go. supervisor mar: microphone, please. >> if i

those people that use beach chalet support the project. those people that don't use beach chalet don't. what i seek is an age-old contradiction between parks and recreation. i do not know how many of you remember when there was a parks department and there was the recreation department. now we have a planning and parks and recreation department. it would seem this would be -- in 1928, john mclaren and the park department said this shall be an active recreational space. why don't we make it the best space weekend? if any of us will go down to the area, you do not even know there is a soccer complex. you have to be 50 feet from it. if i would happen to be down there on a foggy evening, my heart would be happy. that my fellow citizens were out there running up and down. active recreation is a good thing. thank you very much. >> thank you for the opportunity to speak. i am representing lacrosse. i am in support of the plan for beach chalet. when i first moved to san francisco, the program was actually canceled. we practice once a week for one h

it is a measure of income that was used here because it excludes the effects of capital projects. using that ensures that the cost of rebuilding these two hospitals cannot, in and of itself, affect cpmc's baseline obligations. finally, cpmc will provide a $20 million back stock fund to supplement the baseline commitment should the cost exceed 40% of ebitda. one less important point, every other provision in the development agreement is over and above this continuing commitment and cannot be counted as part of the $86 million base line. earlier, director garcia told you that we approached the discussions on access to cpmc for medi-cal and charity care patients with an eye toward health reform. under health reform, an estimated 30,000 low-income san franciscans are currently uninsured will become eligible for minikel. the proposed avella agreement would require cpmc to provide care for 10,000 of its 30,000 newly eligible medi-cal beneficiaries. but they would partner with at least two primary care providers, one of mitch must be located in the tenderloin, to provide hospital care to
