Sharing with us this recent news. I would work with the Mayors Office over the past months trying to see if we could we have a large amount of the bond that could really meet somatic needs that people have people who are facing the need for Affordable Housing. We just had a demonstration here in our chambers, not a demonstration by people youre coming here for Public Comment that lasted 7. 5 min. People from the Mission District who are facing dramatic changes displacement, and decertification, i think the response to actually grow the bond is the right way to go. So i do appreciate working with my colleagues to push for a larger bond. I want to thank supervisor eric mar and compost for pushing for a larger size that we originally come forward with a 500 billion housing bond and really, that was to show that we had dramatic amounts of need to address and we needed to have something of a larger size to try and fill the holes that are being created in our housing city but we knew we have to come down from that. We knew that we had to find a pathway that we can all agree on in city hall and i think weve done that. So, i do appreciate the Mayors Office to work with the controller and my office to first increase the size of the bond of from 250 to 300. And then last night find better rates for interest rates, for bond issuance that we can actually raise it even another 10 million. I do appreciate that. Ive been told that the additional 25 million is for the second year. Is that correct ms. Howard . That is correct. That is christ. So well be looking at a 25 million being available in the second year, but i am hoping that knowing that 25 million will be around in the second year that moh can anticipate how they might be able to free up money for more immediate needs that if they were able to do that for the current year. So theyll be a desire i like to see. Eventually happen. I would also im ready to call for tabling the bond that ive authored it to cosponsor the mayors bond, especially as major golf that we been able to work out a basic framework for how funds would be spent. The framework that ms. Howard has just addressed. But i do want to make sure is that this framework is something that we actually follow as a city, that is not just things theyll be like general guidelines come about within a make a real effort to fulfill what is here in terms of the 100 million Affordable Housing, 50 for the mission, 84 public housing, and 84 middle income housing. I do know that i probably wouldve wanted to have a higher amount from other categories, but this is something that when negotiating amongst all our different districts and different offices, so i had her stand am not going to get everything i want. People in San Francisco are not get everything we want, but this a really good start to really appreciate the higher bond. Im been a motion to check emotion among the committee but i would accept a motion to table the item number two. And then i would be supportive of the mayors bond at a larger size under the framework thats been provided by ms. Howard. Thank you supervisor i listed i do i think you for your leadership on this issue but its been because of your advocacy we are where we are so thank you for that. I definitely want to knowledge that. So, colleagues, with some other comments and if we could do that first up, if we would mind i do think its important to notice despite his budget process, with anticipated in his budget not only here in the committee but at the full board is that in connection with the Affordable Housing funds as ms. Howard outline, not only Affordable Housing bond with our budget process, that every member of the board of supervisors is agreed to cosponsor item number one and is now three and 10 million Affordable Housing for this november. I will say, i think theres a strongs sentiment outside of city hall but i think we need to continue to press its good to call our collective efforts to get that past is about in november. Supervisor avalos i forget to mention as you pointed out theres an amendment in the mayors bond around making sure that our local hiring ordinance applies here. That something i found the want to make sure that it gets spelled out. When i does the mention other than the local hire program i know so little oversight because mayor ed lee has been very supportive of our local hire programs and city builder programs. It was very easy to make sure we get this language moving through in the right way. So, i will supportive of that amendment as well. Thats on the mayors bond thank you supervisor i was bit with that and i take a motion to table item number two . So moved we can do that without objection gallo item number one supervisor came thank you very much and thank you supervisor avalos for your comments in helping us move to some sort of middle ground that all this could agree on. I really saw this punisher as just one component of many in terms of addressing Housing Needs in San Francisco. So although ive been interest in colleagues making this a much larger bond measure amount, in my mind, i do not see this is the only bond measure for house. I really see is trying to do this in the future including in our Capital Planning cycle as well. So, knowing that her city 1. 2 billion were doing that for the next five years for Affordable Housing, 1. 7 million the next 10 years and 2. 8 billion in the next 20 years on Affordable Housing, this was a piece that i thought very passionate about supporting a cosponsor because of the piece regarding middle income families. Including 80 million for middle income which includes programs such as expanding the down payment Loan Assistance Program at supporting our teachers, which is incredibly important for many of them whove told us that say you have one or two teachers and our families can i qualify for programs out there. That is incredible. I wish we do more middleincome housing i do appreciate in trying to pursue include a segment on this. Here with a bond measure so im better able to take a compromise where we can all agree for november so i take think the Mayors Office of housing followup on this as well. Supervisor winner thank you mr. Chairman. I want to thank everyone who made this country mice have supervisor avalos, thank you for i think its great wouldnt be doing this. Its one of the larger bonds that weve done. The Municipal Bond and sf general fund were larger that i can recall. So i think it shows the level of commitment that we have to make sure were providing housing for all income levels. I support this. I do want to note something though. In terms of the portable housing they were creating in San Francisco, geographically, it is highly highly inequitable. We have a few areas that have a lot of Affordable Housing and there are some significant historic reasons why that is the case. I think it was a time when a lot of people do not want to Affordable Housing in their neighborhood and you hear more opposition and more more today in San Francisco, people not everyone me more people than there used to be one of Affordable Housing in their community. I know my district, there is an absolute yearning for more Affordable Housing. We have large swaths of the city with little or no Affordable Housing being created. In particularly, as we afford and legislation giving it 25 or 30 preference, two people who live in certain geographic areas as defined as living in the district that really can exacerbate situation make it even harder for people who have to living in areas of the city that dont have much Affordable Housing being built. In my district, district 8, the bulk of the afford housing we have is no formal public housing. Which does not even included in the 2530 geographic preference. So we had an overdue firstever real conversation about equity. In terms of Affordable Housing. I am glad that were making an investment in Land Acquisition in the mission. The mission absolutely needs more Affordable Housing. I support that. The mission is not the only neighborhood that needs more Affordable Housing and wants more Affordable Housing. For that geographic preference legislation, im currently a cosponsor. If these issues are not addressed, beyond lip service, a lot of lip service around items Affordable Housing and more parts of the city, ill remove my name from the legislation and i wont support it. So, we have to have a conversation needs to happen now. This bond is so important because we have to expand the overall pool we can invest only to be strategic and equitable on how are actually investing it supervisor emac thank you chairman farrell. I want to thank all those that are working on this particular bond in which we all do support. I probably was one of the last holdouts in seeing that i would want to support this particular bond. It wasnt that i wasnt supportive of a bond, but when it was first presented, i wanted to continue discussions around a few issues. I know the bond was important, but i felt like the 250 at the time and we need to look at as much as possible to increase it as much as possible. Without increasing tax. Those were my bottom line. I think the situation in separate cisco is dire and anything we can do to push it to it a is something i wanted to support. I think i want to thank supervisor avalos and really helping to push that discussionthis whole notion of family housing. A lot of times its beginning to actually happen on its own out. I was a year ago, six months ago, people talk about family housing. The first thing people said, yes, two bedrooms. Three veterans. They said well, no, thats not necessarily the definition of family house. You need it other things to make it a family unit. Even though this bond will not necessarily bring a lot of tension a lot of tensioni think in terms of what is tried to do is trying to address the needs of all doors not all, but all the people that are low and middle income family to look at them housing as part of the discussion. Right now, theres many people being pushed out of the city including many many families in the midand little income. We all know that. We know that singlefamily units that no rent control for instance, theyre doubling the rents right now. So we need to do something about that. The third thing that i was hoping for, and brought up as a discussion, was really, how can we be creative with this bond in supporting an element that would support families, which is childcare facilities. Again, theres really a lack of facilities currently and were thinking this population by 200,000, or we can put these kids for childcare and so forth. I had that discussion. I was hoping to convince people that they be despondent could be used as a very creative way to help that because again you dont have childcare space. Many families are going to read anyways. The nice thing about this is the Mayors Office started engaging in this discussion. I thought, with with the 307 three 10 million that happen overnight, i thought that was part of the discussion and when i looked at the bond measure [inaudible] im really glad that were having a discussion in the Mayors Office is taking this a step further than just having a staff talk to me about Creative Solutions to this. So i think with that said, in terms of my initial hesitation to say am fully behind it, like i said at this point im fully behind it. Am fully behind it because not only some of the elements that was concerned about are included, but also because, as chairman fontenot was saying, it similar tied to a budget process and im glad bush was waiting to ensure that also those of their budget process before i would support this bond measure. I wanted to be a balanced budget. So, all that said, at this point im joining my other 10 colleagues insane that i really want to be a cosponsor of this bond measure. Thank you supervisor yee. Supervisor mar thank you. Also announcing today im by this board unanimous board supporting this. I think because of the Affordable Housing groups we have a much better bond. Its moved significantly from 250 million now to 310 million. I think supervisor avalos lie along with supervisor campos supported much more money but i think this is Good Progress on this. I think its still not enough toaddress the huge prices were facing especially among the working families and low income neighborhoods. And the sharp huge wealth gap is continuing to grow within our city is highly by National Analysis and stories. I want to say that Fred Blackwell from the San Francisco foundation and policy link on site are showing that its not just citywide problem but a regional problem when we look at housing and transportation and other equity issues. So, my hope is that we build up our successful proposition c housing bonds and i think the majors advisor, jeff buckley, and his staff. To thank them for their hard work but i know we need to do much more. I also want to say im in agreement with supervisor yee to look more specifically at the size of units that working families have units that are big enough. I support Workforce Housing and middle income people to have parts of housing bonds, but i dislike when its paired against housing that is for our most vulnerable and lowest income people. Thats what i say we need much more. The last point i want to make is gauche and i probably sound like a broken record, gauche but i know is that baby boomers turning to seniors that were trying to do her best to be an aging friendly city im just wondering, what percentages, what kinds of housing are we doing within our bigger bonds that are really looking at seniors. But weve done the budget Analyst Reports and analysis on Housing Needs of seniors, and showing that the population is going to boom so itll be one third of our city, people over 60 or 65. Many of them arent going to be largely low income. If there affected as i can be the kind of housing for them. So thats the challenge that up with our Mayors Office of housing. Mayors advisors and others as being more specific route, units, but also our being in aging friendly city we have housing for seniors, aging daytoday can say their communities as long as possible. Ill be supportive of this and i really appreciate supervisor otto sent camposs effort along with my two do our best to increase this and make sure we work with the Mayors Office and others to ensure we were not Affordable Housing for evan. Edwards thank you collies overthink for comments on this and again for the Mayors Office for all his hard work. To get this item this commitment to Affordable Housing as reflected in the sponsored so, this point i would like to entertain a motion to set these amendments.
