Examining to your neighborhood and that is the city. Im also aware that San Francisco mohcd had all these references that when people were from the western edition back in their date they are whether or notes and seniors from preferences so why am i saying the world we need, a simple table. All the of the information is here and we can help you figure this thing out. We identify what we mean by pre dda and adjust all this stuff that youve identified here, they are listed on the post dda you mentioned those dda are advisory and i they we need to qualify for the public so that everybody is on the same page, what does advisory rules are and where the obligations are. They need to be stated. We coming up next putting the numbers and this is essential and this is essential because even for the board of supervisors i know, i will not vote anything until we have that and because, these people here reading all the the documents and theyre technical and out there when you live in front of city hall we will be bomb card and why are you evicting people at Treasure Island and why are you providing this and you are not doing that and how many have you read that and if we take the time based on the information we have to pel out what is it were doing here on this column, one or two pages, they have have a copy and everything and its a document and it will make my job easier and it will make everybodys jobs easier here because the way that people are interpreting this is basically they dont have that and i dont blame them and no Background Information just a sound advice and we can as an agency continue to do that so this is what im going to ask that the information is all the supported documents with you need to have this table of content where we can translate it to the Treasure Island so its a way of this resolution they are aware of the advisory roles because we all have this staff and again to be com barredded and they will understand and also i need for you to secretary board of supervisors, the city and county of San Francisco again has all this obligations and what does that mean even though the residents are going to be here with no demolition in five years. What about the Affordable Housing that San Francisco is building there and if im on Treasure Island, what that implies that i should wait to five years now to put my name on the list when they are building in mission bay and around the places this is a question that we all need to be up front with so that opposed dda, no, they have many options and they are San Francisco residents and that they are certain laws in place because they are out bound by the pre dda so this can help us and we can do the resolution but i think a lot of education also needs to be ironed out here by the board of supervisors and also when we get to a next meeting on the island, people are going to be coming out there to be up front what it is were doing and where the obligations are so that its very clear to everyone. Thank you. So just a couple questions. Prioritizing the post qualifying dda residents for the placement in affordable units does that put them ahead of the Mayors Office of housing list where there might be people that have been waiting for Affordable Housing longer than they have been waiting but its just because the benefit that theyre on the island and theyre going to get ahead of those folks . So the city lottery list is that and there are a number of preferences that exist within that and slightly responsive to one of the questions about you know other opportunities off of the island that might be available to post dda residents and one of the things that we can do is make sure that anybody who is a resident what would income qualify get their name into the system because there is other Development One of the steps in the mohcd process is a neighborhood reference which is based on supervisor redistrict and we know theres a lot of development in district 6. So, it is possible that if we work with residents and get them registered they may be place offtherecord of the island but, in response to your question, this would set up a preference because we need to vacate this housing and we will need to demolish is, it would set up a priority that if someone was an income qualifying post dda resident they would transition on the island so that we could empty existing units and move forward with the demolition process. It would just, my only concern would be if i was off the island and just waiting for something and i was on that list longer than someone who was post dda and part of their lease was that i shouldnt expect to have that opportunity i mean, i think its great and i would just be concerned are we being fair to everybody. That is waiting for an affordable unit. Understood. I have one more question. So, if the resolution passes the board and comes to tight end, is this proposal then. Supervisor haneys resolution is non binding so to define some transition benefits and so it is whatever we develop hopefully, we are developing recommendations that would address the supervisors concern and fulfill the intent of the board of supervisors resolution. So, i mean, i guess a little bit. I feel like almost, and i know were not voting on this today. But you know are we a little bit putting the card ahead of the horse should we wait until this supervisor mainlys recommendations through a resolution comes to us and say does this address it is it in the spirit of it and then we can move forward. Supervisor haney couldnt be here today but we have to continue dialogue with his office. As i mentioned, its expected that the resolution will be referred to the Land Use Committee so there will be an opportunity for discussion at the Committee Level about what were proposing as potential solutions to address the resolution and receive feedback at least from those three Board Members in addition to supervisor haney. Last question is i guess at this early stage, we wouldnt have any idea how this might effect budget or cost or anything like that . It would depend on the proposals that we have put forward shouldnt effect we will need to develop an outreach plan as weve done with post tda residents with some costs associated with that. But this isnt materially alter the cost of construction of the replacement units and if we were to offer a transition unit to all post tda residents regardless of income qualifications, that would have very significant cost implications and that something that would not only require tida board approval and board of supervisors approval. Thank you. Make just pigging backing off of your last statement i want it to be clear for everyone here. I heard you say that because the proposal is to allow for post residents who were income qualifying mean they would have normally qualified for a bmr unit anyways to also have priority in the lottery system, this would result in no net new cost impact for the city. Yes. For the development. So thats the clarification i want which is some of the Affordable Housing developers target a specific a. M. I. Level or demographic max and perhaps theyre going after funding that is earmarked for certain demographic types. With this new lottery preference, which perhaps opens up the demographic type create complications for the funding for the developer . Each lottery is conducted according to the income eligibility requirements for that building at the time it becomes available for occupancy. So if that building is utilizing Funding Source thats restrict income eligibility to 40 to 06 of a. M. I. , those only only those households that meet that window would be eligible for participation. If it allowed income up to 80 , then people of higher slightly higher incomes would. Anybody who is put into a lottery for placement in a unit would need to be in line with the income requirements with that unit. So, somehow, some depending on the aia of the existing post household they may participate in some lotteries but not others. Got it. Its very clear ask its great to hear its not going to create more competition thats are unintended. Can you remind us of i know over all, we are basically delivering about 2,000 units of below market rate units on the island. When we subtract out the tie die units and the pre dda units, how many more bmr units do we have in this pot . So, we have 435 tie die units and one Treasure Island units. That covers the transition of 250 existing households. If we look at all other households, and ill just talk pre and post dda, i think were at about 340 right now. Total households 190 pre dda and mixed and 150 post dda. So that is 340 universe so the 435, which only 250 of those are needed to transition existing households. Added 30th 340, assuming no one purchased a unit or took an inclusionary affordable unit, it could be 340 and 435 or 785. We would still be building 1100 additional affordable units above and beyond that only tida parcels. Thats really great to have. Its context. In your presentation you mentioned you consulted with weve had initial conversations, yes. Its very important at least for me before we have to take any action on housing policy that we have very clear buyin or response from ocd about their official position on this because ultimately theyre the department who will be handling the processing of all of this and i just want to make sure that we completely understand our perspective and then just same thing with Affordable HousingDevelopers Making sure that weve already i think youve done a thorough job of thinking this through but in the off chance that we missed something i want to make sure we invite them to comment on this as well. Ms. Shiffrin. I just had a couple clarifying questions. Of the post dda population, which you said was 241 which included the mixed households. It was 151 post dda and 91 pre dda so roughly 251. So 242 households that includes some post dda residents. So, of that population, do you have a sense of how many of those are income qualified . We havent conducted interviews with any of these households yet. We believe its a reasonable assumption that our post dda residents fall into roughly the same economic distribution as our pre dda residents and in our pre dda residents, roughly 40 of them would income qualify for some form of Affordable Housing. And some that dont, the offering that this amendment proposes is to be included in the pre Market Opportunity. Yeah. Exclusive to that. Where as the pre dda folks have the pre Market Opportunity and the inlieu fee. Inlieu option and they are promised a transition unit regardless if they chose not to take advantage of a pre marketing opportunity or take the inlieu payment, theyre promised a transition unit even if they dont income qualify for it. I just want the highlight again that means that theyre occupying a unit that would otherwise be an Affordable Housing unit and the city is paying significantly more to construct that unit than if it was being occupied by an income qualifying household and i highlight that because if we extended that same benefit to post dda, we would actually be taking units that would be available to people that have been on that city wide wait list giving them to people that dont qualify. When you look that theres no real material cost change to the proposal that you had sent . Did you look at what it would be if you did include the inlieu option for the non affordable option . Well, right now theres a the inlieu payment benefit is a formula that it follows and i can give you background on that. As an example, for the eight households over the last four months, our average payment to those households has been 26 to 27,000. Were done and its incredible. On that, what happens later on when the development because its going to be several years before those developments. Is everybody then who moves to the island then given those rights as well . Well, no. Any benefit that we established today, the ad advice is that nes to be for individuals whose residency was established within a specific window. The starting of that window is pretty easy. Its june 29th, 2011. The end date of that window, i included january 1st of 2020 thinking that if the board adopted this at the december board meeting, that that would be kind of an Effective Date in relative proximity to the adoption of the board. So then, anybody who moved in after that Effective Date,. And theres no length of residency . Someone could have moved in one month before the date and still qualified . As opposed to the dda residents . That was consistent with the way that the original thr and rs were formed. If they moved in prior to the Effective Date of the thr and rs. Regardless of how long theyve been there . Regardless of how long they were going to be eligible for that replacement unit and now the benefits. And there were residents see thats were established in may of 2011. Yeah. That are benefit eligible. Its something we need to consider and maybe to think about just simply is it a definite timeline. It was one timeline set in 2011 . So we set another timeline in 2019 . Are they obligations to people who move in after 2019 and how much do we extend those benefits to those people. Thats where i alluded to at beginning of this. By the time we have to vacate all of the housing, another decade will have passed. And we may have residents who have been living on the island for nine years at that point in time. Members of the board of supervisors, members of this board at that time, may conclude that they need to do something similar to what were doing today. Its difficult but or they may chose at that time to offer inlieu payment or some other form of compensation. There will be a class of people who come to the island just if for no other reason because roommates move in and roommates move out. They will not able addressed by what we do today. I think the focus has to be, to those who really need the assistance because they are because they qualify for the affordable units but if theyre people who are wealthy enough for the market rate unit, rent or for sale, its an obligation by this board to assist those households. Thats for further discussion and these are just questions im bringing up so we can have weight to discuss and answer them. Thank you. Again, i think commissioner lais suggestion to bring mohcd here is a very critical one. We can ask questions. I want to go back. Hearing non binding and im also hearing subordination does not take a preference. So again, the implementation, having the post dda. What benefit . Everything has to be delineated. Thats why its so important. If i am a post dda candidate, what benefit am i having here just to lift me of pre marketing but at the same time its non binding on. All we do here is pass policy. But the interpretation and the interpreters, mohcd which are bound by all these preferences they go by, that needs to be spelled out for us here. Even at this juncture anticipating 10 years from now and down the road we have to do our due diligence, cross all the ts and dot all the is so weve done our work here where before, we passed the can down the road so at every stamp, everybody understands, i still need to know what the benefits are for the post dda. A primary obligation legally binding are the pre dda. So, we still need to go to this exercise. How the mohcd will interpret a non binding resolution that is subordinating because i hear that we have to attain and attend the pre dda, what does it mean . I understand now. Its a very simple process. Implication. Its a very simple process. We can build that in and invite them in and they can tell us what and how they implement a non binding resolution. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any comments . If not, next item, please. Item number 9 resolution establishing an ad hoc nominating consisting three members of the Authority Board of directors to nominate officers to serve a one year term. I would like to propose that the ad Hoc Nomination Committee be linda richardson, sharon by and paul. Can i have a resolution by the board. Moved, second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. The ayes have it and then next item. Item number 10 discussion of future agenda items by directors. I would just like to note, bob, i just spent a week with the new York Botanical gardens and were so impressed with the operations they had in terms of their native plantings and their establishment of a native ecosystem and what theyre doing about the soils and about high drol gee, about composting and Pest Management and the right native plant at the right place and the education that theyre doing. Next item, please. Move to adjourn. Before we adjourn, id like to give it over to linda, who would like to make a dedication. Yes, thank you. It is a heavy heart. I, this morning, lost a very key member of my family. My brotherinlaw in nigeria. Dr. Carter was very young and all his life he was a humanitarian. He used his medical practices in providing pro bono working in villages and rural places for the disadvantaged and unfortunately we lost him this morning. I will be honored to adjourn this meeting in his beloved memory. Thank you. Im so sorry for your loss, linda. And we will adjourn in his memory. Thank you. Adjourned. Shop dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their shop dine in the 49 with within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within the neighborhood we help San Francisco remain unique successful and vibrant so where will you shop dine in the 49 my name is jim woods im the founder of Woods Beer Company and the proprietor of woods copy k open 2 henry adams what makes us unique is that were reintegrated brooeg the beer and serving that cross the table people are sitting next to the xurpz drinking alongside were having a lot of ingredient that get theres a lot to do the district of retail shop having that really close connection with the consumer allows us to do exciting things we decided to come to Treasure Island because we saw it as an amazing opportunity cant be beat the views and real estate that great county starting to develop on Treasure Island like minded Business Owners with last week products and want to get on the ground floor a nobrainer for us when you you, you buying local goods made locally our supporting Small Business those are not created an, an sprinkle scale with all the machines and one person procreating them people are making them by hand as a result more interesting and cant get that of minor or anywhere else and San Francisco a hot bed for local manufacturing in support that is what keeps your city vibrant well make a compelling place to live and visit i think that local business is the lifeblood of San Francisco and a vibrant community this job, its really not an i job. I wouldnt be able to do this job without other people. I make sure that all the regulatory and nonregulatory samples get to access in a timely manner. We have groundwater samples, you name it, we have to sample it every day. I have ten technicians, very good team. We Work Together to attain this sampling. A sample is only as good as when you collect properly. If sample is not collect properly according to not the proper protocol, the sample could be biased, could be false positive or could be false negative. So all this to have good so you can manage the sample collectors, as well as the schedule, and she is pretty good, and she is very thorough. And so far, i think that she is performing a very good job. This job is really not an i job. I wouldnt be able to do this job without my team. You can assign them any job, they can handle it, and again, without them, i wouldnt be here. I take pride, you know, for what i do. We are providing a very good Water Department. My name is roselle, and i have been working with the Water Department [applause]. And so many Incredible Community leaders and friends who have gathered here today to support the signing of what i believe is important legislation that will hopefully make the changes in the city that are necessary to address what we know our inequalities and services, resources in general, and we know, as a city we have work to do. In fact, we can take this conversation back to two years ago. Starting with the unfinished agenda under the San Francisco redevelopment agency, recommendations back then of what should be done with the disparities that exist in the Africanamerican Community. Later on down the line, when gavin newsom served as mayor, he agreed to work with us and create a task force which produced a report that really highlighted the challenges that continue to persist in the Africanamerican Community despite changes, despite investments, the same problems that we are talking about today, were problems that were highlighted, yet there werent significant changes made. In growing up in San Francisco, i cant help but wonder, where did we go wrong . What worried the mistakes that we made, and how are we going to push forward the kinds of policies necessary to fix it . One such policy im really proud of that i helped to produce when i was on the board of supervisors, people try to fight is on it, people told us it couldnt be done, but thanks to our late mayor ed lee, former supervisor melia cone, we were able to finally get neighborhood preference legislation passed. [cheers and applause] let me give you an example of what a difference that makes. We know the challenges that exist with access to Affordable Housing. Time and time again we get asked if to support Affordable Housing in our community. But when the time comes to move into that housing, the people who grew up there, the folks so crowded up in their houses and living with their mamas and grand moments could not get access to those units. The first project where we were able to use neighborhood preference was the willie b. Kennedy apartment. Because of our efforts, 40 of the 98 units was the people who lived in the Community Community first. In fact, roughly 23 of those residents were africanamericans from that community. [applause] we understand that it may seem like a small number, but in comparison to the number of africanamericans who would get access to Affordable Housing, it is a big deal that we were able to accomplish this, but we know that there is so much more work to be done because when you look at the disparities that exist in San Francisco, sadly the numbers are clear. High school dropouts, disproportionally africanamericans are in the higher numbers of dropouts and suspensions, but less than 6 of the population. You look at the homeless population, you look at the challenges with mental health, disproportionately africanamericans are impacted by that. You look at access to housing and a number of other issues. The list goes on and on. I get that we are looking at an office of Racial Equity for the purposes of dealing with challenges that exist with minority communities, but lets face the facts. Sadly, time and time again, we have seen, on many occasions, the africanamerican communities lose time and time and time again. We cant just keep talking about these statistics and saying that we care about what happens to this community, and then also criticize me when i deliberately put money and resources into supporting and targeting this community so that we can really provide the change that we need. We need action. We need consistency. We need a change like never before. The office of Racial Equity is really about making that investment. It is about saying that we are tired of the reports, we are tired of the promises, and we need to start putting our money where our mouth is. On this issue and so many other issues. So i just want to take this opportunity to thank again supervisor sandy fewer and supervisor vallie brown for their courage. [cheers and applause] for their courage. For being leaders. For being unrelenting. For consistently talking about this, talking about the need to make real change. The Africanamerican Community may be less than 6 of the population of this city, but guess what . We are still here. We still matter. And it is time we come together and make real change. [applause] it is time we come together and hold one another accountable, but also lift one another up. Here is the opportunity to work with an office to provide that change. I went over my time, but i am excited about this. It is why we put money in the budget to make sure positions are funded. Nobody debated whether or not it should be, and now it is time we continue to work with this office so that policy is brought forward, so that more investments are brought forward, and so that everyone in this city, and all city departments understand that when i say we are going to look at everything through a lens of equity and make the kinds of deliberate changes and investments to address what we know has been a problem, then thats exactly what we are going to do. [applause] at this time, i would like to welcome up to provide remarks, supervisor sandra lee fewer. [applause] thank you, mayor breed. Im so proud to stand here today with the mayor and supervisor brown, and also my colleague and all of you as we sign this legislation to create an office of actual Racial Equity into law. Im a fourth generation San Francisco and san franciscan and chineseamerican. I remember growing up in a San Francisco where there was more opportunity for everyone. I remember when we had an africanamerican population of over 15 here in San Francisco. I remember the time when we had nader neighborhoods with Small Businesses that were owned by africanamericans. This is a very important moments today because, quite frankly, this is one of the reasons, the main reason that i ran for supervisor. I think that [applause] it is so delightful and refreshing that we have a mayor that actually impress it embraces this. We need an interruption and we need to interrupt what is happening and how can we get back to the San Francisco values that we are all so proud of and we all love. When you come to San Francisco, you expect to see diversity. When you come to San Francisco, the selfproclaimed, most progressive city in the United States, you expect to see people of color thriving here and yet we are not seeing that. I would like to take a moment of appreciation to really think my legislative aide for doing this work. [cheers and applause] and also district five legislative aide. [applause] and from the Human Rights Commission thank you. This is the hard work of determined women that we will write this and we will write it good. Historic race discrimination has manifested as exclusionary and destructive policies like creating obstacles for chinese residents from owning businesses the racial segregation to neighborhoods, and the internment of japanese americans and the destruction of historically black neighborhoods in the name of urban rule. Now racial it is not disclosure neri policy, but rather in the inaction of government to address and protect these past harms done. It is more insidious, and more harder to address. We see now incredible Racial Disparities in so many areas of life but also let specific islanders we see these disparities showing up in employment, our schools, housing , and the Healthcare System and more. These disparities prevent people from color in our city from leading lives that are happy, healthy, and economically secure today, we are taking a stand in San Francisco to say we will not stand for systemic racism. This legislation is a critical step in acknowledging the history and the Current Conditions of communities of color and making strong and concrete commitments to address those conditions. Thank you, supervisor fewer. At this time, the coauthor of the legislation, supervisor vallie brown. [applause] thank you, mayor breed for your support and your kind words i want to thank supervisor fewer intimate director davis for your fierce advocacy and hard work on this, but i also really want to appreciate the people behind us. A lot of times we push them in front that have really got into the weeds to work on this. Might aid, thank you my aid, thank you. I know supervisor fewer already thank you, but i have to thank you, too. You have to have a doublethink here. District 18, chelsea, and then Human Rights Commission, i want to thank brittany, raise your hand, brittany. Thank you. Everybody wants to know who she is. And other than the other h. R. C. Stuff that worked really hard on this. They really went deep and really drafted some amazing legislation for us to move forward. I really want to thank all of you for joining us here today for this historic signing of this office of Racial Equity. This office where we will work we will build and work on the legacy of the Human Rights Commission, and it is a powerful tool to break down years and years of structural and institutional racism. Our work has just begun, though, but we cant do this alone, and thats why we are all here today we need the support of each of you to repair past harms and work towards a brighter future. Its all about time, its all about time. I am so proud to stand on this land that we are here on and organize on behalf of the board. When i think about the native American Community in this city, the highest population of women that are murdered are american indians. Think about that. When they say we are 1 , why . This is something that i know we will dive deep into because these are things that matter to our community, matter to the city, matter to the elected officials, and as the years when i was a legislative aide, we used to do policy, we used to do funding, thinking we were really going to help a community, but we didnt know if it would work or not. For me, this office of Racial Equity will work with the community and bring things to us this is isnt that what we want . Dont we want the community to bring the policy, bring the funding suggestions to us . They have to come from the community, not from us telling you what you need. I am just really proud to stand here today and be part of this. Lastly, i want to make an important distinction. Equality means treating everyone the same. Equity means ensuring everyone has what they need to be successful. Thank you very much. [applause] thank you supervisor brown. Now a few words from the director of the Human Rights Commission in San Francisco, cheryl davis. [cheers and applause] this is quite an emotional day for a lot of different reasons. I want to first recognize the commissioners that are here. They are here from the Human Rights Commission. This work, i was just telling someone, it is actually just the perfect storm in terms of how it came out. I remember when mayor breed was president of the board. We had a conversation with james bell from the Burns Institute in oakland about the needs of doing something around Racial Equity. She was committed then and we were really try to figure out what it is that we wanted to do. What did we need to do, how did we work to build allies to move this forward. When supervisor fewer came into office, one of the first thing she said to me is we need to do something around Racial Equity in the city and she specifically said, i want to know what we can do to do better by africanamericans and black people in San Francisco. That was unusual, right . This idea that somebody who wasnt black was interested in doing right by black people was new for me. And then supervisor brown, they developed an Equity Program with the office of economic and Workforce Development for africanamericans in the western addition, fillmore, to help them develop the way to have access to city help. Put money for them to get paid to tell us what to do. When we talk about being committed to the work, i really have a little tolerance for people who just like to talk and i would like to say these three women have been committed to the idea and notion of Racial Equity and getting to the people who have been most harmed by the disparities and putting their money and their mouth where the work needs to be done. [applause] and i say it is a perfect storm because when i look around and i think about Felicia Jones and dante and the folks who have been pushing on the inside to say that we need to make change, michelle and cheryl, the folks that have challenged us, but at the same time, i think about ruth and their work in the mission. And the work that is being done. This idea that we want to transform city hall is not about transforming the work that happens in this building, it is about understanding how the work that happens in this building impacts everybody outside. [applause] so they wont. I am so full right now because i know that there is not just the accountability and the demand to make this happening from happen from communities, but these three women, coupled with the men over here from the board of supervisors, they will make it happen. Nobody here is afraid to be told that it is being done wrong and that we need to redo it. If you want it to work right, you all need to make sure that we are held accountable. I am excited about what is to come and being held accountable and moving this thing forward, and as mayor breed said, bringing the change that we have been waiting for for 50, 60, 70, 100 years. Thank you for being here today. [applause] thank you. As i said to all of you before, as someone who was born and raised here, im so honored to be the mayor and i still cant believe what an Incredible Opportunity this is, but i cant also help but think about the need to make sure that even though there were mistakes that were made in the past, that change the dynamics of our city, in the past, we have an opportunity to make things better in the future. We have an opportunity not to repeat the mistakes of the past and no, i cant turn turn back the hands of time, but what i can do is make sure that the policies and the investments and the decisions that we make now have a better impact on future generations to come. Today is an opportunity to do just that. Ladies and gentlemen, lets get this legislation signed. [cheers and applause] are we ready . [applause] i pledge a llegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty an
