This item will go to the board as an action item. I wanted to have a conversation here before taking it there because we kind of have two different paths Going Forward ahead of us. We have a contract with lang Engineering Environmental to provide Environmental Conservation services to tida to monitor the navys Environmental Program, and we brought them on in 2013. This is a Selection Process that actually had been contacted before i arrived to tida. They replaced amec engineering and infrastructure. The contract was original term of three years with two oneyear optional extensions. A contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this fiscal year. I wanted to bring it to the board to discuss whether to issue a new rfq for the remainder of the navys environmental work or to modify the existing contract through the projected remaining four years of the work. Bringing in now for discussion and board action because if were going to issue a new rfq, we need to do so propermptly. So they do attempt the navys base closure meetings. We attend the monthly meetings between the navy and the state regulators. Its also attended typically on the phone by sfpuc and other city agencies that do work on the island. They review and comment and advise tida on the navys proposed work plans and other documents for the Environmental Program. Theyve also been invaluable in 20 2014. 2015, we had a lot of meetings to discuss the navys Environmental Program. They assisted in both planning for those meetings and presenting materials, as well as in working with city agencies, particularly sfpuc to help establish standard work practices on the island where the navy has either not completed their environmental work or where they have completed their work but they are land use controls. The land use controls we have on the island are primarily related to hydrocarbons in ground water where theyve been remediated to such an extent that theres no longer a risk to offgassing or other associated concerns, but they havent been able to get 100 of the material out of the soil. And those are really standard ppe, personal protective equipment, criteria that are required in some of those circumstances. The environmental consultant has also been preparing a Site Management plan for tida, which is basically our Program Maintenance for doing annual and fiveyear reviews of ground water and other environmental conditions. Those are eventually requirements which may sunset as long as we can send you to see that theres no rebound in ground water samples or soilgas monitoring. Also, there are physical repairs like the repair of the former skeet shooting area in clipper cove where they armored the bottom of the cove, and that has to be resurveyed every five or ten years along with a survey of the bottom of the cove. They also assist us in preparing reports and supplemental technical information. In terms of the overall status of the program, we had our presentation last novembers Board Meeting by the name of clark from the navy, but kind of the guiding document thats updated annually by the navy is their Site Management plan and the 2017 version of the Site Management plan anticipates the closure of the last site, site 12, in 2021. So weve got about four more years of work to do through the final transfer. This map shows the open sites that the navy has. However, the majority of the work or the work has been completed on the majority of these sites. So the first group of sites, 30, 31, 30 north, 30 south, the has been issued and the foist has been issued and there should be a final fost issued within a week or two. Also, the developer, tidc has been preparing for this so we can move forward early next month. In site 24, this was a former dry cleaning facility. The navy has completed their field work, which is a biological process of the chemicals and soil gas and ground water results from the completion of that biological process, which we anticipate will happen before the end of this year. We should be able to transfer site 24 early next year. And then site 6 and 32 are areas where the navy has completed their work, but they anticipate or have requested to continue to hold that property until they have completed their work in site 12 because its both a logistical laydown area and a means of removing soil from site 12 without driving through the residential area. So theyve requested to delay those transfers until the end of 2020 when the bulk of field work in site 12 should be complete. And site 2 is just waste water transportation plant. That site doesnt have any ongoing work, but the schedule of that is tied to our schedule for developing new waste water plant rather than the navys remediation efforts. So, again, in site 6 and 32, well need to do a finding of suitability to transfer prior to those properties transferring, but not a lot of Technical Work going on. Its really within site 12 where the bulk of the navys efforts will continue to be for the next several years. And an area where retaining the experience, knowledge could be quite beneficial to us. So in site 12, there are both circla, which are the chemical cleanup projects that are ongoing, as well as radiological investigation, which covers the entirety of site 12. On this flowchart from the Site Management plan, it came out a little fuzzy, but the areas in green are the scopes of work that the navy has completed on the righthand side underneath the yellow header is the continuation of their chemical cleanup. And then on the lefthand side is their cleanup of radiologically impacted areas, particularly the swedas, the solid Waste Disposal areas. And then in the center of the page is the radiological work plan. So weve discussed that the bulk of the radiological materials in site 12 were believed to have been disposed of in the solid Waste Disposal areas and then through the process of grading prior to the consideration of the housing, few items were moved into other areas. So this process in the middle is the process the navy will have to go through to develop a work plan record of decision to gain state concurrents that they have satisfactorily explored outside the solid Waste Disposal areas. In terms of the navys schedule as embodied in the Site Management plan, the continued chemical cleanup outside of the swda areas is going to mobilize this year, in the spring, and run for 14 months to complete into the spring of 2016. The Feasibility Study for the areas outside of the swdas is expected to be issued before the end of this year with the goal of achieving a record of decision in 2019. That will entail a lot of back and forth with particularly the California Department of Public Health which has oversight of the navys radiological programs. That record of decision will determine the nature and extent of the additional radiological field work that is required to close out site 12. And then the final solid Waste Disposal area, the bulk of expense that the navy will have as well as physical excavation is the solid Waste Disposal at west side, which is on the righthand side of the photograph of site 12 there. That work is anticipated to remobilize at the end of this calendar year and continue into 2020. So the recommendation that i propose to take to the board next month would be to extend the lang contracts through 2022 rather than issuing a new rfp. And that continuity will be important in updating and maintaining our Site Management plan as additional remediation sites are closed and transferred to us. But, also, in reviewing and commenting on the navys circla documents and site plan for site 12 work plan for site 12, theres been a lot of work with the department of Public Health over the last four years and the navy, and lang has been at the table for the parties with those communications. As we work forward to ensure that our interests in making sure that site 12 is cleaned up, i think its important for us to reta retain langan until that period, but i welcome conversation. Thank you very much for that assessment. Questions and comments by commissioners . I would certainly agree with your recommendation. I think that the overview of what weve done with the Environmental Program shows how much progress has been done in these past few years, and well, finally, after all these years, come to the final phase of remediation for Treasure Island. Its so important, i think, for there to be continuity, particularly because its a very complicated program, and its a very critical point as we come to these final remediation and the transfer of those properties so i would agree with your recommendation. I think our top priority is about Public Health and public safety. And there cannot be any drop with that oversight. So i would certainly concur with your recommendation. I would like to add some comment. You know, i think there are merits to extending the contract. Given all the arguments you laid out, familiarity of these sites in question and the historical knowledge is definitely something that we need to take into consideration. So the question that i have is that by retaining this contract, are we gaining time to expedite the transfer . Im looking at your date here, that site 12, in particular, youre looking at 2019. So that will boost that calendar. This wont necessary cause the navys schedule to be accelerated, but i think as we work with the navy and the department of Public Health on the work plan for site 12 for city is so secure free release for the area in site 12. We have agreements with the navy to guard against or to protect our interests in the event that the navy either is unable to or elects not to pursue the work sufficient to secure a free release from California Department of Public Health. And under the edcoma, were not required to take any land from the navy that does not have free release. So essentially, failure to achieve that would be a reopener of the conveyance agreement with the navy. Secondarily, the edcoma contains provisions that if theyre not able to accrue free release of site 12 since a portion of the residential area is intended to be constructed in a portion of site 12, that we could actually reconfigure the program to relocate housing that would otherwise have been located within site 12 to the area on the east side of the island thats currently proposed to be sports fields. That would trigger there would be some additional supplemental environmental work. Under the edcoma, is navy would be required to compensate tida for those costs. However, that would be a Significant Impact to the city. So what our interests are, are ensuring the navy take the measures that are sufficient to gain free release from the state and to clean up site 12. So i think thats not so much that were looking to accelerate the schedule, but were intending to ensure that we achieve certain outcomes, and the failure to achieve those outcomes would have a significant delay on the Development Side of things. So its really about ensuring that the navy adheres to the schedule that theyve set forward and achieves the outcomes theyve committed to in the edcoma. So i presume you will calendar this before the general board for the discussion and approval in the next couple of weeks . Yeah. I plan to have this on the february agenda. Okay. Are there any Public Comment . Seeing none. Thank you. Item no. 5, the pageant of the pacific murals. Theres been a lot of discussion about the murals. In Public Comment, theyre certainly well known and well regarded. Peter somerdale on our staff managers our consultant contract for the storage and preservation of the murals as well as being a liaison with entities that have requested to borrow the murals in the past. So he has a great deal of history on the murals, and i thought it would be good to present it here, not only for the members of the committee but now that were being recorded, this will be a resource that people can access online to see this discussion of the murals. So with that, i will turn it over to peter somerville. Give me one second here. All right. Sorry about that. For the record, peter somerville, here to provide you with an overview, like bob said, of the history of the cover murals. To be quick, about a artist himself. He was a noted mexican painter. Illustrator of the mid to 20th century. Enjoyed early success in america doing car rickures in the new yorker. He continued through the 20s, 30s, 40s, and up to his death in the 60s. He played an Important Role in the establishment of the Mexican National dance program. So you will see a lot of his various interests reflected in the murals themselves. The murals themselves, he expected a commission to create a set of maps of the Pacific Region that would be displayed. Each of the murals is actually an assembly of specific panels. There were six overall, four of which are 12 panels each, 16 feet by 24 feet, and two of which are four panels each, 9 feet by 14 feet. I thought this was an interesting quote from the ggie at the time of his letter, soliciting covarrubias that gives you an idea of why he was of such interest to this project. The next few slides show images of the murals themselves. The murals hung at Pacific House until the fair closed in 1940, at which point they were loaned to the museum of Natural History in new york where they remained viewable until 1953 at which time they were placed into storage. They attempted to gift them to the museum, but the museum could not promise they would be displayed permanently in the museum. So at such point, they were returned to San Francisco in the late 1950s. The board accepted five of the murals and installed them in public display. You will note that six murals went and five came back. There is the sixth mural, art forms of the pacific, 12 panels, 16 feet by 24 feet that was not in the set when the murals were returned from new york to San Francisco. So only five of the murals were received and installed, and only five, thus, are with tida today. Theres Research Done by interested citizens into this potential whereabouts of the missing mural. It is still kind of a mystery that continues today, but at this point, unfortunately, it is somewhat of a cold trail. We hold out hope that Stranger Things have happened and we will reunite this mural with the set. Its important to note that he created six and the collection owned by tida is only five murals. 2001, the ferry buildings renovation removed the space where the murals to be installed. They were of overwhelming size jurisdiction was transferred to tida by way of transfer agreement by the board of directors in 2001. This was agreeable to both sides. They agreed their redisplay to the public entity. The port was unable to find a location either at the port authority. The tida support staff decided to take possession. They were transferred to storage on Treasure Island in late 2001. The San Francisco Fine Arts Museum approached tida with a proposal to loan the murals to the Mexican Government. They promised to provide registration store station restoration. Cost for the conservation and restoration were paid by both a grant from the charles d. And Francis Field fund to the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco as well as funding by the Mexican Government itself as well as the Technical Expertise for the restoration. This Loan Agreement between tida and the government of mexico was approved by the tida board on may 11th, 2005. At that time, the murals were transported to mexico. Their conservation and restoration work was performed in mexico. Supervision provided by tida. Conservation and restoration work included removal of the smoke and grime and fingerprints and other human damage as well as touchup work to the coloring and paint to certain panels. Restoration work performed in mexico was performed by mexican technicians. This was a major source of pride for mexico at the time, considering his standing. After the restoration, this took place between 2006 and 2008, including displays in mexico city, pubela and finally at the 2007 event hosted by mexico and monterey. The next few slides are pictures of these exhibits. Again, they give you an idea of the size of the murals and the considerations for display. Backup to give an example. This shows one of the largest murals against the smaller murals. Economy at 16 by 24 feet. Excuse me. The one on the left is economy, and the one on the left is transportation at 9 by 13 feet. So you get a sense of the size of both murals. One of the murals, upon completion of the mexican exhibit was requested by Fine Arts Museum for a temporary loan. Tida enter into this agreement for ongoing display of the murals. The murals are currently on display, and this Loan Agreement has been extended annually by the tida board since 2008. Staff tends to bring this years extense for the approval at the february meeting. Additional loans and exhibition. Loans on display in mexico generated new interest in the work. Loan agreements were enter into for display of the murals. One mural was sent to washington, dc as part of an exhibit on worlds fair design. In 2011, three of the murals were displayed as part of the festival in 2007. The camm executed covarrubias. At the top, its the city hall and at the bottom, the national museum. Remaining four murals, by which i mean the four not on display at the young museum are currently stored by a tida contract and are handled at an offsite climate controlled facility. They notate all the conservation and restoration work at the time of today. In 2016 and 2017, tida contracted for High Resolution condition report photography of panels front and back. So we now have both reports stating their previous work and their existing conditions as well as photographs of those as well. The future of the murals is still being determined. Prior exhibitions have been conditioned due to their status as fine art that need to be considered for an appropriate display environment. Some of those are listed here on the slide. Mainly, they consist of appropriate temperature control, appropriate humidity control, lighting not to exceed certain specifications with a particular emphasis on keeping direct exposure of light off the murals, as well as basic protective measures to keep an enthusiastic public from touching it, spilling food on it, or otherwise creating humaninduced damages. That brings me to the end of my presentation, and i would be happy to answer any questions. Thank you, peter, for that presentation. Im sure we have questions. Thank you, peter. The murals, where were they originally displayed . Were they in building one or in different exhibition halls at the fair . They were originally displayed all together at Pacific House, which was one of the buildings, pavilions of the fair thats no longer there. Itis longer on the island. It was a variety of organizations and entities that sponsor buildings at the fair, so the murals themselves were at Pacific House, which was one of those buildings, with the emphasis basically, the whole fair was the Pacific Region, but the Pacific House was focused on that as well. Well, theyre wonderful. Its part of the history of Treasure Island. Im glad to see that were taking care of the murals and making sure that theyre being preserved in a way that they can be viewed in the future as well. Thank you, peter. Just some few questions i have. So someone, somewhere in the world is holding on to the art form of the pacific. So i presume that tida or the city has conveyed to all the museums in the world that this piece is missing. It might show up. Who knows . Because thats the nature of these things. Do we have such a plan, if it shows up, for people to be on the lookout for it . It would be great to know this piece is out there, we presume, right . Through our partners at the Fine Arts Museum and the arts commission, certainly theres an awareness that hopefully this mural is somewhere. Certainly how would i say this . Its been such a long awareness for so long that theres probably one of two possibilities well, theres one of three possibilities. I think the worst is it fell off a ship somewhere and is at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. We always assume that if it is still somewhere, that someone has it and they know exactly what they have, and because of that, theyre not interested in advertising it or sharing it or it is somewhere unknown what it is. So through Fine Arts Museum, through the arts commission, through several interested public excuse me. Private citizens in San Francisco, theres been a lot of legwork done, to, just to extend the paper trail or chase down what happened to it between new york and San Francisco. Unfortunately, a lot of those efforts have been unsuccessful, but it is certainly known in the art world. It is certainly a known mystery, and its our hope that if the murals did surface one day, we would be able to reunite them all. But, realistically, like i said, if someone has it and knows what they have privately, theyre hanging onto it for a specific reason. Its hard to go out around the world and make sure everyone knows we have this. We do everything to enforce that fact that were looking for it and want to reunite them at any chance we get. You already said theres tremendous Public Interest on this particular artist. Hes world renown. Its important that we have it planned for exhibition, storage. Im wondering, again, just to throw it out there, we have this substantial amount of money that were going to be spending to purchase and bring arts to the island. Somehow, we need to have a program for this particular piece of work that generates international interest, as it has already. Just something i want to throw out there. At some point, its going to be part and parcel of the landscape of Treasure Island. Question. Peter, how much is it costing us to store and conserve the panels that we have . On an annual basis . The storage costs, we have them stored along with the Treasure Island Museum Collection items that were gifted to tida from the navy five, seven years back. Probably the annual yearly costs for all of that storage i dont have it immediately in front of me, but its under 8,000. Thats for all the murals, crates, and all the packaged items from the museums collection. Considering the works, considering the jobs that our art handler does, thats a very reasonable yearly amount. I think the hope is that they will eventually be unveiled either on a permanent or a temporary basis so that people can certainly see. Is there some sort of interest by the Treasure Island museum group . Just to touch on your first point, yes, were all in agreement that ultimately the panels the public is much better served by the murals being out on display rather than in crates, so we continue to make sure that appropriate entities interested in borrowing the murals for exhibitions know that were willing to work with them. Like i showed earlier, we have done several exhibits in the past, and we are, obviously, open to accepting proposals for additional appropriate loans down the line. The Treasure Island museum, i know that they have certainly expressed interest in support for finding a permanent home on the island for the murals. I dont know, again, based on the size, if the actual kind of museum facility, whatever shape that may take, is ultimately where the murals will be housed. Bob can speak of this more. As were getting into assessing the buildings, one, two, and three, for uses, some of the environmental conditions necessary for displaying the murals will be considered as were looking at the improvements and changes to those buildings with a potential eye for installing them in one or two of those buildings. One of the things that were working on is an rfq for an architectural and Engineering Services with emphasis on preservati preservation architect to assist us in doing an assessment of several of the historical buildings, notably buildings one, two, three, and the torpedo building, so assess what will be required to continue the life of those from a seismic perspective, the just of replacing windows in building one, for example, will be a significant expense. So from a seismic preservation and also from an access perspective, building one has never had elevator access above the second floor. So well have to figure out how well get to the third and fourth floors with elevator access. As part of that, we would also include an assessment of what it would take to environmentally control some of those buildings, as theyre currently all steamheated to the extent theyre heated at all and naturally ventilated. This will require some Environmental Control as well as potentially some natural lighting control. So that will be one of the aspects Going Forward, given these Historic Buildings, because of their size, give us the ability to display the pieces as a collection. The other alternative would be to display one or more of them in separate locations or on a rotating basis, but thats going to be part of our evaluation for our Historic Buildings in particular as we move forward. Excellent. So, lastly, so we have five remaining and four thats on the tida. So the other one is at the deyoung museum. Originally, you mentioned there were six. Correct. So covarrubias painted six. Tida took five from the port with the art mural, the missing mural. Four of them are currently in storage. The fifth is on display at the deyoung on temporary loan. Okay. Thank you so much. I think i will just add that the deyoung loan is temporary and ongoing. They do understand that we do have a vision down the line for installing all five on Treasure Island. So theres an understanding for both parties, though it has been a beneficial longterm loan, we hope to have a date where well ask to take that mural back from the deyoung because well be putting all five up on the island. Its great that theyre sharing it with the public and taking care of it. If we could give the rest of them to restore i know if they had more wall space, they would like to put up more. Thank you for that excellent work. You will keep us posted. Thank you. Thank you. Item no. 6, discussion of future agenda items by directors. None at this point. As i mentioned at the Board Meeting last week, i think the march meeting will come with an update on the waste water planning and our progress there, but well also be flushing out an agenda for february. Thank you. Any Public Comment . Seeing none, thank you, everyone. Adjourne adjourned.

Im kate sosa. Im cofounder and ceo of sf made. Sf made is a Public Private partnership in the city of San Francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in San Francisco. Sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other Small Business support organizations who provide more generalized support. Everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. For example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small Business Owners with education. We have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city Seas Partnership with Small Business, creating a 100 Company Selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or twoperson shop, and who dont have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help Companies Set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in San Francisco. Im amy kascel, and im the owner of amy kaschel San Francisco. We started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. San franciscos a great place to do business in terms of clientele. We have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. I think its important for them to know where their clothes are made and how theyre made. My name is jefferson mccarly, and im the general manager of the Mission Bicycle company. We sell bikes made here for people that ride here. Essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. Our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. We care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. When people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. Its a pretty fun shopping experience. Paragraph. For me as a designer, i love the control. I can see whats going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. Going through the suing room, im looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look . Is this what shes expecting, maybe if weve made a customization to a dress, which we can do because were making everything here locally. Over the last few years, weve been more technical. Its a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a Small Business owner. Sometimes its appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. We need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. Moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how theyre going to use it, whether its the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so thats the direction i hear at this point. The reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that were sharing the opportunities that weve been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that this is a reminder to silence all electronic devices.
