All happen. He took time off work, i took time off work and we had people willing to work with us to make it happen. Not everyone has that. There are some families that can even make trips because they dont have support. When we talk about experiential field trips, and making them available. We need to make them equitable. I would love to work with the district on writing some verbiage into that. The c. A. C. Would. Thank you. Thank you. Im going to excuse our incredible allstars. They get to go home early and we have to stay. Thank you for your service. Have a good evening. May i hear a motion and second on the School Board Policies . So moved. I am referring the board policies to the rules committee. There is one more item to deal with, and that is number five, and support of achievement and success of all latinx students at sfusd.

Can i have a motion and a secons of Public Comment and Public Comment to the following . Second. So move. Resolution 19101581 and support a proposition e on the november 2019 ballot. Introduced by commissioners. Two collins and myself. May hear a motion . Nevermind. Im just reading the script. Lets see. [roll call] may i hear a motion in the second for the formal introduction of the resolution . So moved. Second. Thank you. Whereas district students in the community at large and we see critical benefits and Classroom Teachers on para educators of the district. Live in the community in which they practice their profession which promotes stability, Community Involvement and stronger ties between educators, students and families i whereas sfusd educators suffer acutely from the cities severe Affordable Housing shortage with 64 of sfusd teachers spending more than 30 of their income towards rent. An additional 14. 7 of teachers in sfusd are spinning more than 50 for the income towards rent. According to the federal guidelines four out of five teachers are burdened with housing costs. Whereas sfusd requires 3600 teachers annually, but is challenged by Teacher Education rate for proximally 10 annually. 30 of sfusd teachers leaving the district within the first five years of teaching. Often because of high housing costs, escalating cost of living. Whereas the city has fallen short of its needs for very low to moderate Income Housing having only produce 31 of affordable units needed to meet its share of the Regional Housing needs of january 15, 2015 to june, 2022 for this critically important housing source. Whereas in may have 2017 the board of education approved a resolution supporting a Pilot Program to develop affordable rental housing for sfusd educators where the price will be affordable for our where paraprofessionals, teachers leading to the project currently underway. Whereas proposition e will amend Affordable Housing and educator housing programs to expedite the development and construction of 100 affordable and educator housing in San Francisco for a wide range of sfusd educators. Building on the success of San Francisco model by rezoning sfusd sites to allow 100 educator housing as a principally permitted use. Cutting times for projects and construction. According to the office of the comptroller, proposition e will result in a minimal reduction in government cost on to the extent this legislation shortens this process the citys Affordable Housing projects cost due to shortage development and construction timelines. Lower inflation on market costs. Therefore be it resolved that the San Francisco board of education urges voters to vote yes on proposition e in the november 19 ballot. Thank you. We do have a few speakers sign up for this item. Susan solomon. Megan. [ name indescernible ] and annabelle. Good evening. I am a behavior analyst with the School District. I want to tell you about some and work with. A licensed vocational nurse who barely makes it more than somebody working at starbucks. He just had a baby last year, he commutes an hour every day to get to work. He is licensed to do procedures that i with a masters degree cannot do. He takes care of medically practical and fragile students we dont happen to these kids when a nurse cannot take care of them at school . They say home. They miss school. I know this nurse deserves reasonable pay and the ability to live in the city in which he works. It is more than that. The students deserve stable access to schools, and all students deserve stable schools. What happens when this nurse tires of commuting for pennies . He will find work closer to ho home. Spend more time with his family, as any of us would. What will that mean for the children he works with . Our educators deserve stable, Affordable Housing. Our students deserve stable schools. Please vote tonight to endorse prop e on bring us closer to the schools. Thank you. Good evening. I am the political director. Im here to urge you to support prop e. We all know it is not a secret that the affordability crisis it is not just impacting our families, but its also impacting many of our teachers and para educators are losing their homes to eviction, and rent increases. We need to do much more to ensure that housing stability for our teachers, Early Childhood educators and paraprofessionals stay here in San Francisco so they can continue providing quality education for our students and continue providing and making sure our schools are stable. When prop e passes it will help keep our educators in the city where they work and will stabilize our communities. We need prop need to make sure their healthy needs are being met. Prop e not only as going to support our currents, it will also help our future educators. Thank you. Hello again, commissioners, superintendent matthews, susan solomon. I will echo with the previous speaker said. Thank you to the commissioners who wrote this resolution. I appreciate it. In might of the very serious and sobering conversation that you all just had around supporting students. This is all pieces of the puzz puzzle. As people get priced out of San Francisco educators and families, it is disruptive to public education. If we can help bring stability and lower costs to housing so that the current statistic that the medium rent for a onebedroom apartment is 3,700. This is not sustainable. Thank you for presenting this resolution. I look forward to your vote. Thank you. Thank you. Any comments from the board of supervisors . I want to thank commissioner moliga for bringing this forward and letting me add my name to it. He did all the hard work. I am excited to vote on this and get the word out to the public. Thank you. [roll call] [applause] section m. Board members reports. Lets see we will start with the rules committee. Thank you. Rules met last week. We had two other items that were action items, Sexual Health and hivaids, prevention and instruction which we forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. Likewise for board policy High School Graduation requirements. We didnt talk about it at the last meeting. It has come up a number of tim times. Sb328 which was actually signed into law by Governor Newsom this week. It will mandate the districts to do a couple of things. Middle schools will not be able to start before 8 00 a. M. High schools cannot start prior to 8 30 a. M. The School Districts must adopt a law before july, or sooner, if they have collected bargaining and allow negotiation before the deadline. We are going to have to have some kind of analysis of this for our district soon. Ab1505 was also signed into law. That is arounds charter petitions and rules. Essentially we had hoped that it would remain if our board denied a charter petition or renewal petition, if we denied it would not have to go back to the state board. For our district, since we are a city in the county. It will have to go to the state board. Although the state board is changing its membership and its proclivity to rubberstamp charter schools. We are hoping that will be in our favor. And that we have some information about around split rule, which is essentially being kicked around for decades to try to undo a lot of the harm that prop 13 has done in terms of revenue coming into the School Districts. Corporate property would be taxed at a slightly higher rate. Homeowner and Small Business would not be adjusted upwards. The analysis of it right now is that it is not doing very well in polling. The governor is not committed to it and their other parties that have been given the cold shoulder. We are not at a point where it is necessarily going to pass. It is essential that we do find increased Revenue Sources for districts. That concludes the report from the rules committee. Thank you Vice President sanchez. Do you have a report from personnel . I do. My first report. I do quickly remember what we talked about. Two agenda items presentation around certified hiring reports. They are highlights from there, we started the school year off with a feeling 99 of our classroom vacancies were filled. That is really great progress there. Some of the comments around understanding of those breakdowns, particularly in professional education classrooms. I know that has been a concern that has been raised. As a gap from overall we are hearing from families out in the field. That is one take away of getting in more detail data there. Another area of opportunity is the approach around early hiring. When we do earlier hiring you have a more diverse pool so that is a practice that the team is going to be continuing for this upcoming recruitment season. And then knowing how important that is getting more teachers of color into our focal students particularly. Another area that is a challenge around our language pathways. We havent been able to address the longterm sustainability of finding our own language immersion vacancies. There is definitely an opportunity around how we are recruiting and partnering up. That aspect of the work for the certified hiring, and the other presentation, we are embarking on a huge Human Capital budget Management Systems change. Tonight the board approved that infrastructure investment. We are moving from a very paper oriented, to again something that is more modern, integrated, technology integrated, makes me happy um around understanding that we are embarking on a process um but also the Team Presented the seriousness around um the onboarding and the training aspect. That is going to be a major shift this is an two organizational change management. Looking at implementation of january 2021. The detailed timeline was presented. But i also stressed during that meeting was the importance around that feedback loop. I think we have talked about that, right . If we are going to embark on a major infrastructure transition we need to be able to quickly get that loop of where the caps are. I am excited about that management happening. Number two, report from board delegates to membership organizations. Any report . Number three, any other reports by Board Members . Okay. I wanted to give a few shout outs are quick. I just came back from a conference in san diego, the California Association of educators. I was joined by the alley team. We had parents from the aipac. It was very aspiring.

A parent in the School District in a guest teacher for the district. I want to thank the board for putting this item on the agenda on such short notice. The Standard School broadcast which began in 1928, is the oldest Educational Radio Program was on the united states. It airs thursday at 10 00 a. M. And ran for 47 years. Ending in 1975.

Whether they be district, regional, statewide, or nationwide. There should be. At least one hour per week could be used for such purpose. Education, in this country, is at a tipping point. The district holds a license, the power, tooth hip things in the right direction. To tip things in the right direction. Parents wanted, Teachers Want to, wanted and we all need it.

Eric cordoba with the San FranciscoTransportation Authority. I will give you an update where we stand with improvements. I have a slide show and then we will get into questions. First a little context. The Transportation Authority led the ybi westbound ramps project. We opened in october 2016. That was approximately 100 million in total primarily funded with highway Bridge Program seismic retrofit funds as well as proposition 1b seismic funds. Something we are proud of in that regard. What we are starting to move towards is the south gate road realignment which i will get into more details as well as the west side bridges project. Very happy to, frankly, announce we have requested the Construction Funding phase for the south gate road realignment project. If you recall, it is a 51 million project in its entirety. It is primarily funded with highway bridge and state funds and bata funds. We are anticipating issuing Construction Contracts for advertisement in the missouri option november timeframe and starting construction next year. The eastbound offramp is closed for 15 years now. This reestablishes the eastbound ramp in the configuration on the screen. If you are coming from San Francisco to oakland, you will exit right and go underneath and have a grade separation with south gate road coming from the left side of your screen. Then you will go under the actual ramp and tie in underneath the bay bridge to the north gate road intersection. It is tight right there. Stay tuned for more updates in that regard. The other thing important to recognize is traffic coming from Treasure Island and ybi. Basically, it will exit the island via this system. You will come uphill crest to south gate road to ybi or to get to the newest bound onramp. Also, the existing onramp is still in operation there. We will also have a bicycle pedestrian path that will take a 180degree turn and go under the ramp structures and tie in with the bike path. A lot going on there in terms of movement. We feel very good where we stand in terms of ready for construction. The other project that we are currently moving forward with, as you have heard before, the west side bridges project. It is approximately 83 million project in total cost. Funded primarily with federal highway Bridge Program and state proposition 1b with local match from tida. We went through the alternative deathivery delivery method approved by the state. We have chosen a contractor already. They are working with us in the final design. We are 60 complete. That contractor is golden state bridge. They built the westbound on and offramps we opened in 2016. Stay tuned for more information. We have to sequence the projects. There is only limited access to and from the San Francisco oakland bay bridge. The sequence is to complete south gate then latter or early spring 2021 start west side bridges project, which will take a significant amount of time. It is a major project. We are realigning the roadway building major retaining wall structures and reconstructing new bridge structures along that entire western side of the island. Now, i want to talk about something we are excited about. We went ahead with some proposition k funds, approximately 250,000 of prop k funds. We started the bicycle and pedestrian path study to look at the connection among the island which a vision of a friendly project to allow bicycles from the east bay to the island and to the future Ferry Terminal that is under construction right now by the developer for the island. We are looking at key pinch points along the island to make sure we look at what the developer is building what cal tran build and pier e2. We are excited what we are doing and anticipate coming back with Concept Development later this year if not early next year. I know that bob has briefed you before, what they called pier e2. I want to show you the renderings. That is set to open late october and i think everyone is excited how we can create in essence a Friendly Area for bicycles and pedestrians. What i want to note is the historic torepedo building as part of the south gate road the Environmental Mitigation is to start rehabilitation of that building, to put on new roof and windows. We are excited to be able to assist the authority here in that regard because we know that is a building you are going to use in the future. Just also want to show the artist rendering you have seen before. We are continuing discussions with the Toll Authority and caltrans, in particular as related to the bicycle pedestrian efforts. I couldnt leave without talking about, i know what is forefront on everybodys mind where do we stand for the Pricing Program . We are right now preparing to finalizing our financial demand analysis. We are also going ahead now and looking at engaging the public, frankly, as early as tomorrow, particularly from a Business Outreach side. We will want to work with you, your board and our board in terms of developing the recommendations we want to move forth with later this year and early to 2020. As i indicated, we have engaged the Business Community as part of what we did before, we really understand the concerns related to the potential financial impacts to residents. We are talking to businesses. We want a complete comprehensive package in terms of affordabilities. We are developing cocreation workshops. We have a meeting tomorrow in the daytime and on thursday, the 24th, in the evening. Everything is pointing towards a launch day of congestion pricing and enhanced trans i transit se. That is with completion of the south gate road project. With the infrastructure we need and to get everything lined up in terms of transit service, that is what we are targeting. That completes my presentation. I am available for questions. Thank you for this presentation. I know the commissioners have a lot of questions for you. Next time please lets have a breakdown of some of the Funding Sources. I know you identify the state, the actual amount would be great, you know, for future analysis to see how we are getting out. That would be great. Then for the San Franciscobound pedestrian, you mentioned you are engaging with the m. T. C. So for this particular project, the m. T. C. Will be there will be other Funding Sources or just california . It is one of the entities to obtain funding not only from the improvements for south gate but for the bicycle pedestrian path is a great project to compete and we have positive support for the Bicycle Coalition as well as working with us with the treasurTreasure Island pricing. That is one of the Funding Sources. We are going to come back with a more comprehensive list of potential Funding Sources as we move forward later this year. There is always so much information. You know it so well, i feel like you are sharing a lot that i dont know but i appreciate the status of everything. I think my questions are i just want to better understand where you are with everything. Maybe let me start with the ybi west side bridge. I think i heard you say you selected a contractor, meaning you are in the design and ready to Start Construction . We are at 60 design completion. This is a new delivery method the city has utilized on different projects. The benefit we see is to bring the contractor in during the final design stage so that we can properly cost out the various elements of the program as well as the risk. There are risks associated with working on the hillside above the bay there. We selected a contractor. We had six proposals. We went be with the best value and chose golden state bridge. I assume this means when the seismic work is done the road has to be closed . Yes, very astute. Frankly the plan is to go ahead to have mccalla road open to two way traffic and south gate interchange open so that that becomes the full interchange to go to oakland or San Francisco. Then we would close off the western side to construct the newest side bridges there. That is the plan right now in terms of how we handle traffic control. We can come back with more details as we move forward next year in terms of giving you more detail and making sure everyone is aware of the Traffic Management plan. I think the question i am most interested in asking on behalf of the future occupants of ydi because if i remember correctly they are moving in 2021. Mid 2021. Obviously there would be residents there. I think what they would most want to know is how they are going to get on and off from their side of the island. It sounds like you thought this through. Please make that clear. Hearing you talk about it, i am not completely clear on it but it sounds like you have a plan. Yes, we do. This might be a question for director beck, but the historic torepedo building h he torepo building . It is part of the historic officers quarters district. There is a master option over that building as well as the buildings a little bit to the east of that. It is not clear at this point what the best Retail Program for the historic officers quarters is, there have been a number of things discussed over the years. For the torpedo building itself, though, we are thinking more kevin could potentially speak to this within tida we have had a number of parties expressing interesting in a restaurant type of venue there coupled with the new pier it seems like a natural combination of indoor and outdoor space. I might have missed this. Is that already master leased to ticd . They have a master lease option over the historic officers quarters. The means the terms of the lease are not negotiated and we can potentially still guide the usage of that building . Yes. What is the timeline of us considering the option for that, do you think . They have a 10 year option on that district. We are in all likelihood talking first interest interim activation or use. That would be great if we are opening that pier, basically, soon, right . Is that what it is saying late october 2019, is that correct . Yes, access will continue to be difficult through the roadway work on the island. Also, caltrans is opening the pier, but there is an area immediately adjacent that caltrans will have to come back to do further environmental remediation, particularly with lead in the soil because it was beneath the foot present of the old bay bridge. Even the pier is complete there will be construction in the area, particularly the area where the environmental work needs completed. We would develop some parking in the future. Interesting. Thank you. Then my favorite topic the bike potential bike connection to the mainland. Can you talk a little more about the status of that conversation if we have done any costing exercise, the more real numbers. What we are doing is developing concepts and looking for missing links. There are different conditions this board as part of the approval the developer is constructing on the island. We are looking at the areas that are no mans land. What can we do to better improve bicycle and Pedestrian Access . We just started costing in that regard, and, frankly, we are prepared to come back to this board to have more discussion in terms of concepts so we are preparing for that later this year. Depending on the holiday season, no later than early 2020. Okay. That is wonderful to hear that they havent be given up on this idea. There is a lot of positive energy that we can work with partners. This is a lime at friendly project. The fact the development is building a new Ferry Terminal, there is a lot to be had. How can we come up with a funding package to help complete the system here in that regard. I think many of us on the board have voiced this in the past. I personally feel strongly in providing a bike connection from the island to the mainland. I think citywide and even nationally there has been a big uptake in bicycle usage and changing to the bicycle mode because the roadways are constrained and we are trying to discourage single occupancy vehicle uses. Having that option to have a physical selfdirected connection, the freedom to come and go on the island is very important for future residents to feel like this is a community they can buy into. Again, we would encourage anything that your body can do to continue pushing this idea forward. Just wondering if tima will join us on the november onisland hearing. There is a lot of material here that probably the residents would want to hear. We havent finalized the ybi agenda. One of the topics, depending on the progress of their outreach and their presentations to the tima commission, one of the topics is congestion management progress. So the start of the toll on and off of the island currently is earmarked for launch in 2021. Latter 2021, early 22. It is when we complete the south gate improv improvements. Moving along. I will acknowledge commissioner tsen. I would agree with director lai on the importance of the pedestrian bicycle pathways. It seems like you have really given thoughts on how bicyclists and pedestrians are able to connect, especially to the ferry. That is wonderful. I also agree that the western span is a tremendous idea. We hope that we will see soon some of the concepts for that, how bicycles can connect from Treasure Island to San Francisco that is the missing link right now. The other thing is that i am glad to see that there is the opening of the pier e2 that Public Open Space on that side of the island. I think this is going to be a great addition. I am just wondering who is managing pier e2 once its opens . We brought to the tida board a couple months ago a pair of m. O. U. S caltrans would like tida to operate and maintain the infrastructure there. We entered a Lease Agreement with caltrans, and we are on the verge of finalizing a Reimbursement Agreement with b bata m. T. C. We will maintain on behalf of caltrans and bata will reimburse us. Is it caltrans own property . Yes we will turn it to a lease. Then it would be tida responsible or tivd . Tida. Rehabilitation of the historic tor torpedo building wt funding are we talking about for that building . Have they been identified . Yes, they are part of the 51 million, combination of federal, state and bata funds. Wonderful to include that. Yes part of the Environmental Mitigation we have for the south gate road project. We look forward to hearing more about that. That is related to a new roof, windows, to seal up the building to put in what ever security. Noggin side . Noggin nothing inside . Yes. A lot of discussion and concern over the tolling policy. I know that you are going out for outreach, but we dont know the details of what did the current recommendations are or the process being changed up. Right now w we have run the w travel and financial demands analysis. We are seeking input from the Business Community for potential impact of the businesses on the island. It is input we are requesting from the Business Community. We are not portraying at the Public Meetings any staff recommendations. We are seeking additional input and prepared to go ahead and make staff recommendations, not only for residents as well as businesses later in the year. That is how we are moving forward. You come back to the tida board before you make any recommendations . You make recommendations but certainly the tida board will have a chance to look those over . Most definitely. Thank you. Commissioner giusti. The take aways from the discussions and thank you again that you are paying great attention to the bicycle and the ferry, the overall transportation plan. One of the things we tend to do differently on this commission is at some point once you have the pieces we tend to take this matter to convene islandwide to really look at what we have been doing for the last few years in terms of the transportation so we can sell that to the public. A lot of questions are being asked on the mainlands. Every now and then someone writes in the media a tiny piece. You say that is not accurate because we are still in the process of getting these things going. We need to take the leadership because we are the one that make it policy so we intend to do that. Secondly, on the activation of the peer e2 we would like to get that started. I think this is a matter for director to come up with that plan so we can work on that as soon as possible. Anyway, are there any other questions from the audience . I think they are all in agreement. Okay. Thank you, sir, we hope to see you again. The next item, please. Item 5, early retail update. Good morning, tida Board Members. I hope you can hear me okay. Good morning. We were asked a little while ago to give an update on retail planning for Treasure Island, i want to engage in en gabling in the beginning of a longer con engage in a longer conversation. This is part of a long discussion. We have a big challenge in front of us, frankly. The retail world changed dramatically since 2011. We see it in north beach in San Francisco which have all of the advantages of population density and millions of businesses and are still struggling to keep retail spaces occupied. When we think to a new community on an island separated from the city, it gives us more trepidation how to approach this. We look to have an ongoing dialogue with the board, and, frankly, get your input and advice how to tackle this problem as we go forward. Final point the plan to govern what we are doing that we will talk about in a second. Address the end point when the island is built out. What we are focusing on is how we bring retail activation to the island in the earliest stages. Lets dive in first to get grounded and familiar with what the documents say. Here is the Land Use Plan for the island, and again, most of the island is zoned so we can have commercial space in the ground floor of the buildings. There is a mixed use zone in the southern part of the island for the commercial energy where the highest density housing is and transportation hub is. Zooming in we want to focus retail activity in the southern access between Historic Buildings starting with building one to hanger 3 along clipper cove. The main feature is the retail block, one long city block on each side with shops divided to smaller areas. The intention when we get to the leasing discussion is diverse mix of Small Businesses with spaces appropriate to the right mix of businesses.
