Transcripts For SFGTV TIDA Board 20240713

Its great to be in city hall during the holidays season. I i love to see the tree at the top of the stairs, its a festive time here. Welcome all. So, lets begin. For the record this is the december 11th, 2019 Treasure Island Development Authority board meeting. Item number 1 call to order. [roll call] we have a quorum clerk general Public Comment. This item is to allow members of the public to address the Treasure Island Development Authority board on matters that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Authority Board and that do not appear on todays agenda. In addition, Public Comment will be held during each item on the agenda. Members of the public may address the board for up to throw minutes and you will hear a single chime when there are 30 seconds remaining, prior to making your comments, state your name and the organization you represent, if any, for the record. Please come up, hello. Thank you, very much. My name is and im the c. E. O. For Health Rights 360. The last time i spoke with you was a meeting on Treasure Island and you were about to turn the keys over to us for the Additional Units on marner street. And so, weve now opened those units. I just want to thank you so much for allowing us to mak use of te units. I dont think theres a program when we operate with the largest substance provider in the city and county of San Francisco and i dont think theres a Single Program we offer that has more of an impact on our clients than these services we provide in these units. Its amazing. People who come to us for substance treatment are 94 of them are unsheltered and they have no homes at all. They live outside. They come in for residential treatment. The end of 90 days of residential treatment you know in San Francisco theres no housing. What weve done with these units is weve deployed them in the service of a transitional recovery residents so that the clients can step down into residents and it doesnt have all the rules and restrictions and intensity of residential treatment. While they go to school or get jobs and they can continue their and its been remarkable. So, clients condition their treatment and a high degree of participation and they get jobs, save money and move out. Right. I mean its really transitional. In the true spirit of traditional housing, people put together enough money to go and find places and apartments of their own. And so, i just want you to know that the impact. It has a broader impact than just that because there are some clients who are living outside and concerned about coming into residential treatment because they think like why bother, i have no housing on the other side. So it brings more people into care in general. You should know the impact of your decisions and in this case, it was amazing and very rapid. Those units are all full. They stay full. Sometimes theyre residential treatment beds arent full, these units stay full. I wanted to thank you for that and let you know the impacts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your service. Good afternoon, Sherry Williams with one Treasure Island. Im not sure if all of you saw the front page article in the chronicle that San Francisco is now the most expensive city in the world to develop housing. One thing that i think is important for us to always keep in mind in that context is that Treasure Island will continue to be a very competitive place to build Affordable Housing. If you looked at the chart of costs, their age for site control to acquire sites is 150,000 a unit and ours is zero. If you take the Authority Units, the 1866 units, that the Authority Unit has power to build above the inclusionary, were talking over 300 million so our housing on Treasure Island will always be competitive. Its not just because its fro but its also fully entitled, flat, theyll have the Geo Technical improvements and all of the utilities to the curb. I just wanted to just call that out that thats the legacy from all of the negotiations and the approvals that happen in 2011 that we will be in this position where women be com pe where we e competitive for those dollars and it will be a positive impact for Affordable Housing on Treasure Island. Thank you. Seeing no one else. Next item, please. Clerk report by Treasure Island director. Thank you, chair, members of the board. Last night, it was the navys Restoration Advisory Board meeting on the clean up program at Treasure Island. Also, this past m. Th months, te office of civic innovation selected a proposal prepared by one Treasure Island and tida for their civic Ridge Program to prepare a construction jobs forecasting tool that we would implement in partnership with Alex Francois and his Program Within one Treasure Island to there is a pro bono for the tool to be produced and if we are in agreement at that time we would move forward with the r. F. P. The last Treasure Island flee for 2019 was held november 23rd and 24th on Treasure Island and as i mentioned before, the fleet will be taking next year off as theres a utility work along the eastern shoreline in particularly the Sewer Force Main and interim gas main that were not compatible with the proposed schedule for the flee a market. Also on the eastside of the island, work is underway to remove the propane fuel thanks that used to fuel the fire simulators, the Fire Training academy. We are working with our Environmental Consultants to remove those and that work should be completed next month. Work is continuing between tida staff, puc staff and d. E. M. To do an afteraction assessment of the power outage thats we had on november 5th and november 11th with various groups looking at communications, systems and response and weve also authorized the p. , c. To make pe improvement this is advance of the replacement of the installation of the new primary switch gear which is, we discussed it before, scheduled for the end of 2020. That will be a significant milestone for us in improving the reliability of the electrical system on the island. On the condominium being constructed is under construction and last month the construction crane went up at the site. If you drive in from the east bay theres a prominent construction crayon the eastside of the island. A real symbol of progress. On Treasure Island, the wood grain insulation at the Wastewater Treatment plant is nearing completion to be followed by the due technical improvement of the site where it continues at the wear wate breas well as the causeway reconstruction where the west side of the causeway is nearly ready for reconstruction with the schedule of that being fully reconstructed by may, june timeframe and traffic being shifted to the west side so that the eastside can b be reconstructed. Ticd was awarded the utility and roadway construction packages for the first sub phase area on Treasure Island which will be critical as we worked to as they work to have those roadways and utilities in place consistent with the schedule for the development of the first residential project on Treasure Island, which is ccdc and source to plow shares building for former veterans. That project is expected to begin construction the First Quarter of next year and be completed in the fall of 2021. Work continues with ticd to plan logistics, demolition, utility relocations for the next sub phase area around hangar 2 and hangar 3 on the eastside of the island. On the as a reminder, our on island meeting schedule for next year will be to have throw on te onisland meetings in march followed by on island meetings in july and november. That completes my report. Thank you, very much. Theres a question. Thank you. Director beck, i wanted clarification about the generators situation. So i think in your report, you had mentioned that we were in this case luckily able to find someone to bring the fuel up and available to conduct i guess maintenance or followup work as needed. Is that an ongoing, i guess, contract that we will have with them moving forward so that we cannot encounter the same fuel shortage issue in the future . Yeah. We have through the p. U. C. We have an ongoing open maintenance contract with an agency that comes out and performs periodic testing the generators and so fourth and theyre also on call for emergency repairs of the generators. The refueling issues we encountered on november 5th, we are working with vendors to make sure we dont have a recurrence of those delays that we had that first evening in the event of future outages. Thats a critical issue, not just for the island but for all cityage facilities that rely upon emergency generator powers. Those refueling capability needs to be there because the on site Storage Capacity is typically anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. For those that have either a higher consumption rate, as is our case, because we have quite large generators, or have limited Storage Capacity then they need more regular refueling. Thank you. And i would just like to comment, bob, that there on Treasure Island when the flea market had its last flea market of the season and in fact for a couple of years. It was the traffic coming in and off the island on that day, of course it was a spectacularly beautiful day. It was incredible to get from one part to the main part of Treasure Island took almost 45 minutes just within the island itself. Which points out how important this is for us to have alternative transit that we need to get people out of the vehicles. And part of our plan for the various Transportation Plan is exactly to do that. Just wanted to point that out. Thank you. Clerk Public Comment on item number 3 . Item number 4. Communication 0 and received by tida. Are there any questions about communications . Hearing none. Next item, please. Clerk item number 5, on going business by board of directors. Yes, on this item, yes, im going to switch. I wanted to take this opportunity for those that are probably watching remotely, the Treasure Island Development Authority, our mission is not only to develop Treasure Island, i think us here have demonstrated that we have the skills to do that each and every person has skills. Its not a coincidence were here. Its also important. Were also helping San Francisco resolve a lot of the problems that its having. You need to ex down here. We have a lot of things figured out. The previous speakers with a 360, that model, that project it has great applications to all the problems that the city is he countering now. Here you are where we have a solution. We have something taking place within the county of San Francisco. Now, Everybody Needs to know about that. They need to know not just us, that this is what wore doing as we are developing the islands. We are also utilizing spaces that we have to help hot and we also heard from one Treasure Island where you just gave that synopsis about hey, seems like lets get all the money earmarked to Treasure Island because this is what weve been preaching about. We have the land and the plans and we know how to make this happen. Give us the money and we will be able to bridge the housing gaps in San Francisco and so in the reason im saying this is that when we convey this kind of messages, its going to be loud and clear that yes, lets teach them. Lastly in addition, we are also, as we build, we are creating a Workforce Development and so far in all the programs that we look in San Francisco ours is one of the finest and it has applications not only for San Francisco but also for the regions. So cumulatively, i just want to tell the commissioners out here, when we go out there and people are talking about that we remind everybody and we also try to help so that this messages could be loud and clear. I know im doing it and everybody here. Thank you, i just want to make that statement. Thank you. Thank you. I just wanted to mention, ive been asked by a number of people about our earthquake plan and we will be talking about that at the next on island meeting which is in march. Thank you very much. Clerk item number 6 Consent Agenda. 6a approving the minutes of november 13th, 2019 special meeting. Moved. Second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Although owes posed. The Consent Agenda passes. Clerk approving a Second Amendment to the housing roles and regulations for the villages at Treasure Island. So weve discussed this at the past several meetings what has been we were proposing and are incorporated into the package today with the actual edits to or amendments to traditional housing rules and regulations, i have a few slides i would go through for members of the audience or watching at home that might not be familiar with what were undertaking here. The residents of Treasure Island include residents of the programs that fall under the one Treasure Island umbrella that includes health right 360, Catholic Charities and Community Housing partnership and those residents are slated to be moved into new units at each of those operators will be developing new Residential Housing facilities on Treasure Island. But for the market rate residents, we have households where all the members of the households were here on the island in june of 2011 when the Disposition Development agreement was adopted and those households were granted certain transition housing benefits to move into the new community as its developed. But that program did not provide for benefits for those people that would move to the island in the future. What we referred to as postdda residents. So we have households where everybody moves to the island prior to the june 2011 and some rom mates moved out that were here in 2011 and new roommates moved in that do not have future housing benefits. And the conversation we have been having is what opportunities can we provide to these residents that moved here after june of 2011. As i mentioned, i just had a slowed that slide discussing ple operators to construction new housing and relocate their residents. For those that were here in 2011, they have a number of benefit options. One is to participate in pre marketing opportunities to purchase a new condominium on the island to move to a new rental unit on the island either an affordable unit or a transition unit which would be not classified as a portable unit but the rent would be tied to the current rent. Or to take an inloop payment if the household declined to replacement unit. What we are proposing and what is incorporated into the change is provided in the transition rules and regulations. Are what is plied to those residents that are living on the island today who arrived after june 2011, the date of the dda. And would provide the opportunity for those residents to participate in the pro marketing opportunities for market rate housing whether thats rental units or for sale units and would also prioritize that those individuals that meet the income qualification requirements for new Affordable Housing programs to be able to be prioritized for placement in those units as they become available on the island giving them an opportunity to transition in the new development and continue their residency on the island. The changes that are currently proposed before you do not extend the inlop payment benefit to the residents. It does not offer transition units other than Affordable Housing program units. Consistent with the original transitional housing rules and regulations, do not extend relocation benefits to residential units that are leased by commercial entities. It would not extend benefits to future residents not yet living on the island. So the proposals that are before you, and we have to take any questions you might have. I understand this is an action item . Yes, this is action item to adopt these and then we would move forward with outreach and education to engage the post dda residents and advise them of these. Before i take comments and questions from the board, id just like to hear from the public if theres any general comment on this. Good afternoon, Sherry Williams from one Treasure Island and we are very supportive of post dda households who are income eligible to have a priority for affordable units and strongly urge you to support that proposal. Thank you. Any other comments . And then may i ask you a question, mr. Beck, the not profit sponsors of the housing, the first one which is the Chinatown Community development center, they serve a certain population and they have got them financing for the housing based on the populations that they serve. I just wanted to make sure what are the rules governing post dda if theyre to get precedence. Theyre not getting precedence over the target population, which these nonprofit groups actually serve. Is that correct . Yes. So, we have different buildings or different providers have different programs objectives and targets serve different target populations. Our first building is sources to plow shares which is an operator that provides housing to former veterans, particularly coming out of homelessness. And being a veteran is a program or an ak pansy requirement for that building. We do have one pre dda household where the sole occupant of the household is a veteran and so he may have the opportunity to be placed in the ccd source to plow shares building. Ill jump over Catholic Charities and talk about our third building which will be with the Community Housing partnership and Community Housing partnership does deal primarily with populations coming out of homelessness and they are also our largest operator on the island. They currently operate 110 units on the island and so, than building will be exclusively for the transition of current residents on the island within their programs and they will they are expected to fully fill that building with existing residents from their current operation. The second building with Catholic Charities is projected to be 135unit building. Catholic charities has 66 households on the island today. They would fill half of that building. We also intend to build finance 23 of the units within that building without the benefit of tax credit financing. So, in doing so, those units would be possible for us to use those as transition units for pre dda residents that dont meet the income eligibility requirements so those 23 units will be used to transfer pre dd residents. Also, Catholic Charities generally serves a broader spectrum. They provide a lot of Family Housing and so the balance of the affordable units within that building, because theyre not as with chp and source to plow shares really targeted at a specific audience but really more of a Broad Spectrum of Affordable Housing residents, are pre dda residents have annan opportunitanopportunity to fillf they meet Program Eligibility requirement income levels. To the extent pre dda residents dont fully fill that building then post dda residents that meet the income eligibility requirements would also have the opportunity to take spots within that building. And then assuming that theres any units left after that, they can get filled to the list that the Mayors Office of housing has and people who have been on that list for some years actually have. Wes, it would go to the mohcd ranking after that. For health right 360, were looking currently at our fourth building they are been part of our fourth construction project and potentially having a joint lease building where it would be maybe a vertical condominium with health right 360 occupying portions of the building and having their own entrance and a more family or mixeduse housing. Thats two years out and were analyzing programming and cost and funding for that site. T ill open it up to the board. Thank you u. It was a concern i had. It wouldnt create financing complications for the affordable projects already planned in the pipeline as we all can appreciate, construction, financing, of affordable projects are not easy. Its have i much gymnastics and very difficult to piece together so thank you for confirming that. I wanted to make sure that we fully understand the impacts of adopting this policy. At this point its been fully vetted, both the Mayors Office as well as supervisors, the board of supervisors are on board with this and voted on this already. In terms of impact to tida financial laws operationally, can you just briefly go over that without maybe going into item number 8 too much because i know wor were hearing that nex. So, this should not change in anyway our cost for us to construction and our eligibility for financing from various sources to fund our Affordable Housing construction. So from that perspective it should not change our cost nor do we believe it will cost change the cost of operating the facilities for the Housing Providers afterwards. The transition units that we provide for pre dd residents that dont meet income eligibility requirements have certain operating costs because since theyre not strictly affordable they can be subject to property tax assessments and other they have certain implications that we are addressing and those buildings where we incorporate them. We will have some effort by tida staff and our relocation consultant to engage the additional post dda residents, provide them advice on their options and benefits but that cost relative to the larger costs will be will not be terribly significant. Thank you. Thank you, very much. I support this resolution. I also wanted to help to break this down from your escalation earlier. So, case in point, so we know that the cdc and the sorts to plow shares, they have this long list because San Francisco being what it is, theres a shortage of housing. So these nonprofit are working in the heart of the community and we know that they have all the long list already that theyve developed to the community. Are we saying here that that they have to exhaust so if im plow share and i have all this list, that im trying to that i have, are we allowing them to exhaust those lists before we kick into ours . The implementation is going to be key here and i think thats what were talking about. How are we embarking on this implementation to make it work, especially how we are and we can help them. But just on this scenario that i have, we know theyre only creating ex amount of units and in most cases, they have all the long list. People that theyve had the list develop overtime and over years remember, its taking decades for them to even get to where we are. Meanwhile, the problems are getting bigger in the community there and i wish we can be building like i said earlier, the more financing we have we can help out more. In this situation here, how are question making it clear that they have to exhaust their list first or whatever or we tell them a 20 . I didnt quite get that. Can you help me elaborate that . This is a scenario i just gave. The general principle is that the transitional housing rules and regulations create a contractual obligation that we have to current residents. And that contraction actual obligation supersedes the general city wide wheat for the assignment of individuals to Affordable Housing. For example, with the Catholic Charities building, thats why first predda residents and postdda residents have the opportunity to be placed into the catholic charitys building. In advance of going to the city wide list. There are exceptions to that. With the source to plow share building in consultation with orders to plow shares and mohcd, because of the additional programming that source to plow shares pro voids to their provir population having served in the military and perhaps dealing with certain stresses associated with that service, there are programs provided within the source to plow shares housing that was concluded that that should be they limit that housing to veterans should be carried on that building. Our residents where we have households where there are veterans may have an opportunity to be placed there but based on the interviews weve done, we have a very limited number of that population. The Catholic Charities building will be filled with the existing Catholic Charities residents and income qualifying pre dda and the post dd alist and then the general. We will help you here. Lets develop the decisionmaking graph. Its great. Where we say if this condition here, because what im hearing and again, someone is already on financing and its already financed based on the criteria going in that thats why. We will have to translate and make this less cumbersome so that in the implementation we know basically where it goes and what were doing. Everything is implementation. I would still love to see the graphic and we can put some diagrams where everybody is transparent. If this happens, then what and all that and its also great so that everyone is on the same page when we go about implementing this so that you know, we can the pre dda from what you said are the highest priority in all of this so we are meeting the primary obligation but then also, accommodating this new requirement that even the city has all along a source to have dis quantified them to make sure it happens. I would still would like to see something to help us and you and cdc and the plow share and everybody understand mohcd so that we can all be on the same page. I can try and prepare some sort of a cheat seat or a little flow chart on how that would work. The one thing that i realize i should have added on the source plow shares building is that we have funding from the states veteran housing and Homeless Prevention Program which is also required those units be made available to veterans so its sources plow shares operating requirement and a Funding Source requirement and there may be other Funding Sources that we pursue down the line for instance the states no place like home program that would require that portions of the units or certain units be dedicated to people coming out of homelessness or people with Mental Health issues or Funding Source requirements would be the zoo things that would factor into this discussion as well. Just a couple qualifying questions. One is, it says that this change will not extend to future residents, not living on the island. Do we have an Effective Date . Yes, so we anticipate making it if its adopted today it would be tomorrow. Got it and i remember last time i asked about of the post dda residents, how many are income qualifying . We dont have we havent done outreach with them. If the post dda residents meet the same distribution of incomes as our pre d. D. A. Residents, then potentially 40 or more of the households would be potentially income qualifying. Just so im clear, in terms of post dda households, if you are inqualifying you are eligible and you are eligible for pre marketing of units and thats it. Yes. Great. Thank you. So moved. So its been moved and seconded. This is an action item. And all those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed. The ayes have it. Did you want to . I was trying to remember did we provide a comment for Public Comment. Yes, thats right. We d. We did it prior to discussion. Theres been a lot of comments o on this over the months. Im glad to have this resolution resolved and we can go onto the next item. Clerk item number 8 amendment to agreement with associated rightofway servic services. Im sorry but i actually dont have the item in front of me. Do you have was there a physical copy of this item . The amendment . Yes. Ok. I apologize. Thank you. So, did you read the item . Yes. And so, bob im present on this also. Marian who has been working directly with arws is here and says karen h edelman. So the amendment before you today is to increase the budget for the arws contract and to extend the term of the agreement exercising one of our optional terms extension thats were within the original contract to extend the term to 2024. Increase the over all budget to five and a half Million Dollars. This will do a number of things and it will allow us to get through occupancy of our first two buildings as well as into construction on the third building with chp. It will also allow us to continue expand our current outreach to post residents and also move forward with addition engagement to try and pre income qualify people for the first inclusionary bmr units that we expect to market late in 2020 and those are intended scopes we would exercise and im happy to take questions that the Board Members have. So, again, on this item id like to hear from the public first and we will open it up to the board. Lets open it up to the board. Do you have a question or comment on this . Hi. I do have a few questions. I dont believe i have the benefit of reviewing the original contract scope or the prior amount. Could you please just briefly go over what the prior contract was . Yeah, the original contract was for up to three years and one and a quarter Million Dollars. Over our first almost two years now, our burn rate has been a little higher than we had originally estimated. Primarily to reach that target of 100 engagement of the pro dda households. Its required a little bit more of a lift than we projected. So, we are at this point about a Million Dollars through that million and a quarter authorization and so this would add a additional terms to the agreement as well for that period. I can understand why are anticipated burn rate is different than our current because to reach everyone on the island and i still persist in that view because we understand its not just like they are displace and they have nowhere else to go so i want to underscore that first. Im curious as to what scope was supposed to be covered in that first one and a quarter million for three years because the current proposal is basically to increase it by 3. 75 million if im not doing the math incorrectly in my head. That seems to be a significant increase and i wonder what is the scope difference other than you know the outreach goal of 100 rather than the prior goal. The prior we didnt have a specific goal on the outreach. I mean, obviously we were hoping to achieve a complete outreach. It started with developing an outreach plan and procedures and guidelines and then through the implementation, as it related to preparing for that first Building Occupancy was a source of plow shares building. So this will take us, this also will continue that engagement Going Forward and extent it but also the additional steps intended to begin to actually transition people i dont both new bmr inclusionary units as well as occupying the second building with ccdc were in that building, were hoping to place as many as 40 pre dd households into that will building and working with conducting the lottery and to rank who would be the first placed and then also working with households to try and walk them through the income have the indication process to be qualified. As i mentioned its 135 unit building and 23 of them will be for dont meet qualifications but the other 57, 56 will be units where well need to get people through the income certification process if theyre successfully placed into that building. It sounds like in the first initial contract of three years, it was anticipated to only cover the Baseline Assessment and initial outreach but not to cover any of the placement, the actual placement. Now were moving into placement adding the new Baseline Assessment and interviewing process that we had already begun for the pre dda households and now for the pro dda households. Yes. As well as the Home Ownership, the bmr for sale component as well. That was not in our original. For the pr pre marketing . For the inclusionary for sale units. Also another thing that is more effecting our current burn rate and will have some impact Going Forward was we also initiated the early in lieu program that was not initially anticipated when we started our first contract. Thats right. Thank you for the reminder. So out of the 3. 75 million that is in front of us as the current increase, what is the split between allocation versus the on going placement work . I dont think weve preached the budgeting that way. I can break that out and provide that to you. So maybe let me ask conceptual question first. It seems that obviously im looking at im assuming maybe ver bait um excerpt of this work and not the terms and conditions of the contract. I dont know all the details that went into the original contract as part of the current amendment. But it seems to me based on the information that was provided that this is basically not to exceed budget thats basically on time and material basis and not a fixed fee contract. And i just want to understand a little bit about the approach and why were choosing to do it as a basis as opposed to fixing it. Yeah, it has been really to meet the kind of our performance objectives and provide some flexibility to adapt as we go forward. You are correct, its a not to exceed Contract Value and typically what we do is we develop a work plan for the next six months to 12 months where were in that process right now developing a work plan for the spring where we will be tackling, if you will, the heart of trying to engage in a post dda households as well as trying to prepare that Home Ownership audience for the first bmr for sales and the bristol building so thats the focuses that are paramount in this next task order and so then it would be a negotiated task order authorization and not to exceed for that scope of six months or so. But then to give us flexibility as we go to the next period of time so reflect on what were the challenges and within the prior period and what are the new issues that have emerged. And do another task order authorization for the following six months or so. I see. So the approach is effectively to basically have staff manage the spending by doing progression of allowances . Yes. Ok. And within arws contract, they also do have sub consultants that are providing Translation Services and the review and production of some of our mailings to to assure that were using the appropriate language and phrasing that will reach our target audience at the level that theyre at. So, those services specialize services influence the cost depending on how many mailings we do or how many Public Meetings we have. Thank you for mentioning that because that was one of my questions. That is certainly very important because we definitely have a higher rate of minority language population and so were really glad that that exists in the contract. I did notice there were about three consultants listed and i wonder what the consultants roles are because it wasnt detailed in the body of the language. They do a lot of our Translation Services and danler assists the formatting and messaging and im sorry, the third is myers . The third one is myers. Yeah. Legal. Thats important. And thats actually a component of the contract that we have not had to lean on very much. Ok. I think my general sense is that personally i feel that its really important at the time of contracting that we are clear about our expectations and also clear about the performance standards. Just like when we contract for construction contracts, there are milestones, there are percentage of completion tied with the payment which it sounds like you are sort of doing through allowancetype of staff level allowance approvals. But i think that in this case, it might warrant that we look at the language again to see how we can make it clear for both the city or tida as well as the consultant what the expectations are so that theres protection ex clarity on both sides. I would at the very least, like a bit more information about how we came up with this 3. 75 million increase because its a pretty significant percentage increase considering that our initial contract was only for 1. 25. And im sure that the consultant has a really good reason as to how you came up with this number but i would just hope that we could get some clarity on that. Thank you. I want to piggyback on the commissioner and i was looking the services here and even go through some of them. It says to conduct household Needs Assessments. Well, if the original scope thats about what we spent for these years. I think its conduct household Needs Assessment. It will be the baseline where we are jumping into justifying, ok, weve conducted the first Needs Assessment and we need to go here and i also remember when where talking about the post dda, i think one of the commissioners here asked the question, what does it cost to tida forward for us to do this. We need more questions. We need to know what the numbers were talking about. Where we are . Wore at the deliverly board that we have completed so check them off. What are the additional that we are going to do that because again were going from 250k to our 3. 5. That is substantial. And also let me identify another scope that you mentioned here. The development and Implementation Plan for the household. Weve already done that plan. We are a lud to see what weve done before and assess that and what it will take. Are we adding and we are amending what the state required. It does question needs to be asked. Then, the number three scope here. All the scope that you mentioned here and even with the as needed Consultant Services it is a little bit of what this is and were not going to be able to answer all of those questions here because this is the first time that you brought this. This project is very significant. We wanted to do it right and when we started up, we know what the challenges are and now that we have the timetable this commission will also like to be participate to try to again see how, based on what weve heard and what people have added in, that we can incorporate and do this right. Implementation is very important. I think we need to ask all the questions that people are and you do not have the answers here today. And why think i think we need to really look at the scope of services. I would definitely would like to look at the scope of services. What weve accomplished and what weve done well that accentuate on that can be the basis for the next one. What have we learned in them and what are we doing that maybe we could be doing differently and again, lets work on that. Have a budget. And then we can say ok, this is what the expectations are. And lastly, because of the post dda we are going to be encountering some resources from tida and then that makes us, when wore doing that budget, again the budget is so low, i always say that. So now we can look at this stuff so that its going to be reflected as we move forward. Tida budget can no longer rest the way it is. So, lets get out this picture together so that is it. I want more pictures before i can really decide where to go to some hearing. In principle, it will but more questions that you cannot and you dont have answers to. Thank you. Mr. Dunlop. Thank you, very much. First, it does seem like theres a few questions that needs answering but this is part of seven, really, two things are together. We just approved 7 and so 8, if we dont approve it right now, there could be some potential complications. So, do you have the total number of people who are predda versus postdda so we can get an idea of the expansion . Im sorry, marion, can you come up and answer that question. Its in the staff report that marion repaired and our predda and postdda households. I would also mention that the household Needs Assessment that weve conducted to date is a snapshot in time and it gives us a basis for planning. There will be a need for an ongoing dialogue with the households because the households will continue to change as they have since 2011 with roommates moving in and roommates moving out and people having spouses and children and so fourth and so then the replacement unit obligation that were trying to plan for for that household changes accordingly with those household changes. Another part of the counseling that i dont think we had anticipated or envisioned, well, i think we anticipated it somewhat, but what is really been driven through the conversations is theres a need to engage with households as theyre making longterm plans for themselves about retirement or other things that could affect their ability to qualify for an Affordable Housing unit. Someone may be in a position today where they might not be eligible for an Affordable Housing unit but if they make a decision to cut back on their hours or to retire, that they might fall no a category where they would qualify. So its a very dynamic picture and theres a level of on going consultation with households as they continue to value wait these choices. Just to answer that question, we reached 189 pre dda and well look to work with around 150 postdda so really, you know, its the effort is going to be just about the same that weve done in addition to the additional effort that is going to take, as bob mentioned, to do the contract indications certify for the elections process. Theres a lot of work to be done in this effort. Its always that things come up that we havent thought about just by the nature of this program and so theres many, many tasks orders to be done in the future and just to satisfy you on that, we get to focus on a quarterly basis what needs to be done and we discuss the deliver ables and the groups cost estimates on that so that is how were approaching the spend down on this. One other thing that bob did mention that we do have lots of costs associated with translations and meetings and Contact Person that makes our materials look lease ente pleast our meetings organized in a way that makes sense for the community. There is a lot of groundwork done by them and launched by associate rightofway services. Thank you, very much. So, i guess if we didnt pass this today, lets look back at november at our meeting that were all there that there were quite a number of people who felt this was extremely important we move forward. If we didnt pass and thats what someone is suggesting, nobody has suggested that, but would that be damaging . If we didnt get started tomorrow, the opportunity to participate in pre marketing opportunities, bob, discussed earlier, that will be launching for marketing, will be starting to Market Opportunities and this group of people 150 will end up have the ability to participate in this pre marketing opportunity. So we would like to get started weve been satisfied with the work thats been delivered and linda and director richardson, we have been providing this group with monthly reports on deliverables and theyre part of your package. We put it in there so you see the work that being done by associates right away on a regular basis. And so, were comfortable that this amendment will help us not only meet the goals, the initial goals we set fourth for the program but also this new opportunity for postdda people to participate in the programs immediately. Thank you. I think the question here for people that are listening, tida is not abandoning this work. Weve been working on that. Weve been working with the staff and asking questions, asking for time lines, asking for all kinds of stuff. Nothing has changed. What were talking about here is we are going. We have fiscal responsibilities here. Forward for us to be able to help you help us help them there are questions that we still have to ask here because this is an ongoing process. They can do that. Its not stopping you because weve had this contract for when, for all this time. And in fact, waiting until the end of so the justification now for this amount is it because we are just post dda. Based on that, how much is that add to go what were having when we, according to your statistics here, you started with 19 and the budget was 250k, right. Ok. Thats what we have now. But now, you are adding post dda, 150 and the budget is throw and a halthrowand athreeand a h. People have to be done right so we are asking all the questions is that this project has been on going for some time now and even how you are going to be a session the 150k and all of this. We have not even seen the work plan. That is the question. I cannot just even if the amount is a million for three to adjust throw and a half million. Please, let me finish. For someone out here, you be responsible, not just asking how you are going to get to that. Next time you come here its us supporting this thing before and there might be things i like to see in the plan that the commission has going to see. I can speak to the fact that your commissioners are asking these questions, not just to me that we need to resolve those questions for us to move forward. Thats what were doing. One more information piece, bob. If you want. We are always planning to bring a Budget Amendment to this body at this time. In deed, we are at our billing rate of the million 250 so with this months payment. We had always intended to bring the amendment to the body at this time. And it just so happens that in addition to bringing just an amendment for what we needed on our original contract we needed to add what the additional work would be done for the post dda. Thank you. You have additional questions. Thank you. Perhaps mixed in with a comment here to address miriams feedback. So, i think at the strong urging of this board, the performance has certainly improved a lot. When im doing the path o math , were two years into the three year contract. Our current burn is at a million right now. Basically it means weve been spending about 42,000 a month on this service. And were currently proposing in the next three years to increase that spending to 118,000 a month. So my reques question is to undd why were increasing the spending two and a half times and i feel like i dont have the information to get there. Im not opposed to providing the service and as mark already pointed out, we definitely need this budget increase in order to accommodate the post dda work that we have just voted on that we are unanimously supporting here. But i think fiscal responsibility is also important here and i dont know that we have enough information to really approve a very significant budget increase in the magnitude of 4 million here. I hear what you are saying. It seems like maybe weve already burned through our 1. 25 Million Contract and we dont want any interruptions and services. So my suggestion is perhaps we can look at an interim approval. Can we on the fly right now amend some sort of interim approval to allow for a little bit of a leeway so that this next month of work will not be interrupted. I think just as matter of procedures, theres enough concerns and questions raised by the board so i suggest that we not take action on this matter today and it be brought back in january after weve had a chance to get all the information. Of course, we are supportive of the work that is being done and the question is under the current contract and under the current contract amount can they provide services for the next months of work . I believe that we would seek ill ask mariam to comment as well. I believe we would seek some limited increase in the amount. I know that were approaching the limit of the contract. I know that we were intending to send out mailings and do outreach this month. We currently anticipate that the initial pre marketing opportunities for the units on ybi will occur and open in the late january and so we wanted to begin the outreach effort with post dda residents immediately. Mailings. Thats mailing. To 189 predda to 150 i believe we have a question of staff. The board obviously would like to continue this item. We dont want to interrupt any of the services that are needed. And so is there an action required to allow the services to continue . Let me direct the question my hope is there is leeway, given the current contract for there could be work done in the next month. Marion, could you speak on our ability to continue work through january 8th without an amendment . I do believe were at the end of our contract agreement with the spenddown of receiving an invoice in january or december and that will take us to the limit at 1. 250. Weve been discussing it. We have been working on an initial scope or a task from january to june. And the amount of which is 420,000. And so if you did decide on doing a friendly amendment to this, i would hope that we at least get through the next six months without interruption. Is that acceptable to the board . Would the board like to entertain a motion to that effect . We will continue this matter which is the request for an increase to five and a half million that means the further discussed in january. Can we give an interim approval for 420,000 for the scope . And not exercise in the extension in term will come back with Additional Information that we can provide informational updates in furtherance of a february action so that when we do take an action on a larger amendment, the board has confident in what its authorization. Right. I have a procedural question. So, because this item is notified as a regular action item, how do we amend the current notifying you would amend the resolution. There would be a motion to amend the resolution. Eliminating the extension of term but offering an increase in contractment. I move per jobs suggestion making that you are that obviously staff has the ability to continue to approve allowances per the work plan as developed. Second. And just have some clarification here. So this would take the work until june. We can come back in january, provide you an informational update and hopefully to state where were working the 400,000 until june. You can add that commitment in there i would approve that. Ok. So, weve got a resolution to extend the contract until june for 420,000 but the staff will come back to us with the further details and proposals on the 5. 5 million. Yes. And i think i will take the its been moved and seconded and all those if favor. Aye. All those opposed. I think that youve heard the concerns of the fiscal amount is quite significant. We just want to make sure that you have integrity. Absolutely. Ok. So we will have the next item, class. Clerk 9, parks separations and maintenance. Chris from cmg will present this item for us. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Im with cmg Landscape Architecture and weve been working in collaboration with njm Management Group and the tida team to develop the maintenance and Operations Manual for Treasure Island over the past six to eight months. As many of you know, our practice has been engage in the project for a long time now. And given that context in our familiarity with the parks system, we recognize that the importance of this work to the longterm success of the project to tida and to the citys goals. So, one thing ill note about our role in this process is given our intimate knowledge of the parks system, the specific program attic aspects of the open space system, weve been really effectively organizing the process and facilitating the work and they are relying on to bring their expertise in terms of parks operations and management and maintenance processes as well as cost. And so were really helping to facilitate that process over all. To get the contents much what weve been working on. With that id like to touch on a few of the goals of this manual and the set of documents that were working on. The first is really to create a comprehensive systemwide manual along with parkspecific operations and maintenance guidelines. So it will have an over all systemwide framework as well as the detailed requirements for each park. And in order to guide that, were taking a approach that defines level of service for each park based on the location, scale and program of the park. And then looking at each of the major categories of maintenance and operations for those parks and when namely management, engineering, scape and janitorial. To develop operations and maintenance budget that will be detailed for the parks that have been designed to a construction level and the phase 1 stage one area. And then projections for the parks that would come online and phases 2 through 4. Key to this is to create a living document and a framework for a document that can be updated and added to overtime recognizing the phasing of the project over many years and decades. And lastly, to structure it so that it can be used as a guide to procure services and develop rfps for contracting for the work. So those are the key goals here. You are well familiar with the over all plan and its a large system of 300 acres of parks and so being very thoughtful about the diversity of programs, and the types of open spaces well have are key to the development of the manual. I mentioned the phasing again, looking at how this will be realized through time and understanding projections for when the parks will come online. Both from an operational standpoint and also from a budgeting standpoint. Just to reflesh, these are the parks and the phase 1, stage 1 area that have been designed to the point that theyre real ready for construction and scheduled for completion over the next couple of years so these are the areas that weve focused in on details. In terms of how the documents are going to be structured, there are four major chapters. Theres an executive summary which really lays out the intent of the document and theres a chapter on over all system Wide Management and then in turn, the details Park Maintenance sections that will be designed for each space and then theres a lot of supporting documents and ill go through each of these so you can have a sense of the details. The over all executive summary will include the project overview, the document overview and phasing considerations along with the detailed overview of the parks in the first phase. That will be added to overtime as the parks come online. And then in the system Wide Management section, theres an overview of the general procedures and policies that well be guiding the operations and maintenance on the island and so those are general city requirements as well as specific tida related policies, for example, parks rules and regulations and those kinds of things. There will be Environmental Policies and procedures that would be included in the next section really guiding the wark in terms of howorkin terms of rl as sustainability goals for the project. Theres the legal of service which ill talk a little bit more about in a few moments and then in each area of management engineering, landscape and Janitorial Services, a review of the system wide requirements for those. And then lastly, theres guidance for the management and operations of the art program and in concert with the Arts Commission and guidance on the maintenance facilities that will be required on the island to operate the systems. We move to chapter 3 that will take each park and look at them in detail and in terms of the very specific requirements for each one. Those will be based on the levels of service that are identified. They will include detailed all manner of maintenance requirements. As i mentioned the other phases, as theyre developed, it will be included in the document. So what a typical section for each park would look like is to include an over all concept statementing recognize the design intent and program for the space. Detailed requirements for each of the Major Service areas and then the special considerations that would be unique to that park including events, arts and other infrastructural requirements. It will be bound if binders used by field staff as well as in the office. It will be a substantial document and its coming along well and were looking forward to sharing more with you in the new year. On the maintenance levels of service concept, i did want to spend a few moments touching on that idea and breaking it out into these three major categories of service pre vision. What is important to guide how resources are allocated that theyre targeted in the right place. An example of this would be at the Ferry Terminal in building one where theres an incense use of activity. Clearly, the Janitorial Services will be higher level than they would be in the yerba some buena highland areas. The idea is to target the disciplines so theyre appropriately aligned with the needs of each space. Its higher and lower intensities for each of the areas. We have the key responsibilities so theres utility systems, paving, rest room facilities and then the management of the furniture and fixtures and equipment. In the landscape area theres the throw major categories of the irrigation and Water Management and tree and plant maintenance. And in the janitorial area theres a maintenance and cleaning of the furniture, fixtures and equipment, paving, Waste Management including collection and sorting and then graffiti removal and monitoring and then the rest room cleaning services. In terms of the Actual Program and the facility and this is evolving as the scale and type of the open spaces come online and what weve done as a team is to outline what we think the appropriate final maintenance yard for the whole system wants to look like in terms of its scale and what it would include. You can see on the program, theres basically a oneacre yard that were envisioning and we would include an office, warehouse storage, parking composting facility for management of green waste and then in concert with that we have been discussing how that can be aggregated with a public works facilities yard, puc facility and Waste Management area for collection from the waste from the public realm and its sorting on island. Thats the overview on that. Its roughly what that would look like as a diagram of the area. Roughly 140 by 300 feet with a preliminary layout of the facilities. A few locations where this might be placed in the longterm plan, mostly within the ag park area recognizing the potential for integration with those programs, and in the face for open space. So, looking forward, were wrapping up the system wide chapter this month. We are going to be delivering a draft budget also bit end of the month and coming back with refinement based on comments from tida in january and then well be presenting the draft manual and budget at the february board meeting. Well then refine that based on your comments and input and try and wrap it up in the march and april timeframe. Thats the onm story for today. Thank you. Thank you so much. Im glad you are making progress on this. This is something that weve, as a board, within very interested in and are only now getting some information. Im glad that you are making progress and were go to see the budget which weve been asking for for some time because its important part of the financial calculations for the project. In terms of the manual, would it be something set up online so that its easier accessible by the park employees and the managers of the park . Has it been some thinking as to other than the physical copies, how would it be manifested . Where would we reside . Its organized so it can be placed in a digital access. We havent discussed that specific need yet. I think theres maybe, as you look at the production of it, that maybe thats something that should be considered. The other question that i had, is it just in terms of the maintenance yard layout, these are specifics that we will get into later but theres never enough room for equipment storage and have you looked at other is this informed by looking at other comparable maintenance yards that are comparable acreage. Some of that is wetlands and open space. Still, its significant. Yes. I cant touch on that but they benched mark the program and the size against numerous of the city parks and rec and park facilities as well as the facilities that they have at mission bay and in other park locations to gage the size of those facilities. One other thing i would note is we are looking at identifying some smaller auxillary locations, one on yerba some buena island and a second one would be associated with the Northern Park area so that you could have equipment storage or smaller equipment storage in those locations so you are not having to go back and fourth to the main yard for some of the smaller needs. And then in terms of the pest management, which is something which is being talked about a lot recently, that theres reliance on chemical fertilizers and other insectiside. Where does that building in the manual . How will that be detailed so that future gardeners and future park sewers will follow those guidelines . Where will that be . Its coming in two places. One in the Environmental Policies and procedures where it will make reference to the over all intent but then in turn, reference the San Francisco department of environment i. P. M. Program. Which is pretty comprehensive. And then it will also come into play within the Landscape Maintenance section more specifically aware the detailed requirements for i. P. M. Are included in the system wide chapter and the over all goals of having a sustainable equal logically principled approach are captured and there were referencing the bay friendly landscape guidelines which compliment the citys policy over all. Also soil. Is that part of the landscape . Are you detailing what type of competition the soil set will be brought onto the island because the soil is an important ingredient in native species and other series. Absolutely. Thats fundamentally addressed in the document for the construction of the parks and where theyre identified and as part of the phase one work currently we were able to salvage soil from some of the areas on Yerba Buena Island and that soil is being amended in places as part of the vision for some of the early park spaces. As part of the operations and maintenance manual theres a soil management in fer activity how to sustain those soils overtime. Thank you. Lets see, others who want comment . Thank you, very much. Some questions here and there are your model for the comprehensive you are putting together. Is there any Area National International Model that what we are doing is pat end . I wanted to be able to add the question and thats number one. Number two, i know that one of the things we talked about with tida theyre not going into that is the over all maintenance and caretaker and management the parks thats one of the reasons we went to new york to look at standard goals and other cities have done what we are trying to do em park here so we can learn from them. This exercise document that we have right now and i know we have not gone to that exercise. So, whatever information you put together is great. We need to look at budget and anything and to help us to translate into again, the over all maintenance, one of the things also i would like to see in your document is that we are developing the island and the maintenance and we want to provide jobs and so the Treasure Island and all of that and in all of these documents, we need to convey our intent up front. Its a lasting document so im putting all this together as you are putting all the plans because we will review that and look at that but for the commission, the question for us is when are we going to information them back and there are other discussions as 20 how were going to maintain the management of the parks. We dont want any assistant model because we dont want work is that based on the development so, they need to be taken into consideration in all the plan and im telling you so we might be able to work simultaneously and with the ipm because i was part of the people that i helped to established the ipm for the commission of the environment and his gold standard. The implementation of it has been depending on who you talk to. In our plans, we need to related by the agencies that we are going to be working with and all of that, everything has to be spelled out so that everyone that can look at this document knows what their roles and obligations are and especially when you are dealing with city agencies, that is going to be very helpful. If you can put all of that together and those fundamental things i would like to see about the maintenance should be reflected if we do that to what we have inhouse this is what is going to be and all that have and i would like to see that. Thank you, sir. Yes. Mr. Beck. Yeah, just on the maintenance side of things. To get support. Then there are the broader questions that i think you were alluding to of, do we want a conservancy for the parks of Treasure Island and what that did look like and what is the appropriate timing. Those are all conversations that we plan to bring to the port in the year ahead. I just wanted to say looking at this, beginning outside and allinclusive and youve always done an incredible job. I have one question, as optional on sight nursery, i kind of thought we had one up on ybi. There is an on site nursery now used to cultivate plants as part of the construction and this is an idea to include a nursery for the on going maintenance. Its noted as optional because were at a stage in the process where we havent defined it as bob noted, the exact surface structure and what would have operational for the nursery so its something everyone on the team thinks is a good idea. The question is, does it work from a costbenefit standpoint and it would take some more work to really understand that thoroughly. Being as were trying to get more native plants there, on site nursery seems like a great idea. Thank you very much. Thank you. Are there any other questions . Mr. Beck, do you have a comment . I was just going to add to the nursery discussion. We had established, with the ledge literacy for Environmental Justice nursery on ybi, as the access to that government more and more challenging with the work on yvi that currently is around the old jag building on avenue h. Were looking to maintain that throughout construction and particularly through the reestablishment period on yvi. And it is a program that we may be able to incorporate into it the Agriculture Farm footprint in the future. That whole Agricultural Farm footprint is also to be determined. How we program that acreage is still ahead of us for exploration too. Thank you. Thank you. So, mr. Beck, i think and also chris, i hope that we will have adequate time. Its taking a lot of time to put this together but i hope that we, as a board, are going to have enough time to really look at it and so, we do get us a draft before the final. I wouldnt want to see the final before us and having spend having to vote on it before weve had some time to digest, discuss and really understand the document. I hope that you can do that. And i think we fully anticipate this is a living document. Both kind of within the basic framework but also each new park that comes along welcome back amended into what is a system for operations. Thank you, very much. You are welcome. Thank you. Do we have any Public Comment . Yes, please. Sherry williams from one Treasure Island. I wanted to piggyback on a comment that bob made that in the jobs and equal opportunity programs, which is part of the one Treasure Island agreement, there are set a sides for first right of refusal for contracts specifically for landscaping, as bob knows rubicon as well as janitorial on the island. I know that there was some mention of rfps or contracting the manual might include the language from those agreements should be reflected in the manual and perhaps included in an appendices. It would be helpful to sit down. Rubicon has been doing the landscaping out there for almost 30 years now. Tool works has been doing it for 20 years now. There might be helpful to even sit down and talk with them about what their experience on the island has been to date in terms of looking at levels of ser ris and so fourth and what that would actually take. I would just encourage theres those conversations and there would be some reference to it to that agreement and to those right of first refusals in the actual manual. Thank you. Item number 10, proposed Sustainability Committee of the Treasure Island Development Authority board. So, i just wanted provide the board with some opportunities for discussion today. Prior to our january board meeting, we will have the meeting of the Ad Hoc Nominating Committee to both propose officers for next year and Committee Assignments to the i. T. C. And the Sustainability Committee. I wanted to talk a little bit about sustainability today and also give some initial recommendations but really to provide a forum for the Board Members to talk about this before assignments are made in january. Can we bring it up. Thank you. So again, the idea for the Sustainability Committee was brought up at the october board meeting. Some background that not all Board Members may be familiar with. Sustainability is really built into the development of Treasure Island and Treasure Island was one of 16 projects initially recognized under the Clinton Climate Initiative as demonstrating climatepositive Development Strat goes. There were 16 projects from around the world and demonstrating climatepositive Development Strategies. This is a slide that pre dates my own involvement of the programs but used in discussions at the time of entitlement about sustainability and social equity and Environmental Stewardship as a foundational element of the Treasure Island program. On the economic front a Publicprivate Partnership creating job and employment and Economic Opportunities and positively contributing to the citys general fund making a significant commitment towards Affordable Housing and Economic Opportunities through one Treasure Island as we were just discussing and also developing community facilities, recreational open spaces and the stewardship side, remediating the former military base pursuing lead and goal certification but as i mentioned in a momenter were on track for plat enough. We have program for specific Green Building standards and almost 60 of the total acreage of the program is going to be going into the future open space network. It also runs through our entitlement documents from the design for development and the infrastructure plan, housing plan, the Transportation Plan as well as the Yerba Buena Island management plan. A lot of the attributes of our program are just kind of built in. Given what were developing and where were developing it, we are an infilled site with smart land use pam a am teres with grn infrastructure, grow green buil, the reuse of Historic Buildings as well as habitat preservation, Sea Level Rise at apptation strategies and out of those strategies, were developed here in formally in 2011 adopted with the Development Plan but really developed in the early 2000s through 2006 Development Plan and Going Forward and have been held up by bcdc as a regional example of how to plan for Sea Level Rise. On the lead for neighborhood design, ace mentioned, based on our preliminary assessment, we are online on track for lead platinum for neighborhood design. We did our initial assessment in 2016. We were tied for the highest scoring lead Agency Project in the world. And the Largest Development project under the current version of lead version 4 in both acreage and Square Footage and the largest plan to receive platinum certification. A stand out amongst standouts if you will. And we still have, based on that initial assessment, some opportunities for improvement in our scoring. Some of the topics explore at the Sustainability Committee and include updates on our lead status and and on bnn Building Design and habitat management and spar park design and streete species selections, Transportation Demand management and congestion management policies, stormWater Management, recycled water, on site power generation, Economic Development opportunities, social equity, and other innovations. So, in terms of the meetings, my recommendation to the board would be that we plan to meet quarterly beginning next year. I suggest january, april, july and october. And the initial meeting focused on the lead n. D. Framework and providing an update on current scoring with subsequent meetings to focus on specific themes developing consultation with the Committee Chair and that we we utilize the time slot for the infrastructure and Transportation Committee. So we would be able to operate within the hearing room assignment thats we currently have at the board or at city hall so that would be the third tuesday of each month and that calender would allow each committee to support the discussions we anticipate over the next year. If need be, we would call special meetings if the need arises. Those were some of my initial thoughts but i open it up to the board for your discussion. I want to thank you for taking seriously i was the one that called thinking about putting together this committee and i think theres such a leading edge in what were doing. And theres much more that we can do as far as education to the public not only just for residents on the island but in the city and actually nationally and internationally as well. And theres also the opportunity for collaboration with many institutions in the city and again also nationally. In fact, chris partner at cmg, kevin actually even suggested that maybe there could be a partnership at the university of california davis. What were doing is planning new plantings and wore really on the cutting edge as to how do we do that and partnering with academic institutions, also with the data, Scientific Data that they might be interested as well. There are so many levels that we can do and including maybe even an annual symposium where we bring in the leading people, the leading thinkers on these issues and to bring them here so that we can talk about Treasure Island specifically. This is a great proposal and i hope that the board will agree with that and so if its everybody, you know, is interested well put it on the calender for january and if you are interested to be on the committee itself, please, let me and let bob know. But certainly all of the Committee Meetings will be open to all the Board Members. I think that we will probably have three Committee Members and this doesnt takeaway from the infrastructure Committee Meetings which is very much important and that committee will be meeting three it would be every two meetings and then there would be a Sustainability Committee meeting. Yeah. So every quarter. Yeah. So, its really only four times a year that we would do this. Does anybody have comments . Yeah, thank you. I think this is a great, a significant decision. Everywhere we go. Not just in the bay area, across the country internationally, people are now focusing on Treasure Island and we keep reminding them, what were doing here, even for the city and county of San Francisco for the region and north america, wore doing things that no one has ever endeavored to do thats basically developing this island and putting into situations where we know utilizing new technology for seawall and and i know for the longest they have been calling her for this kinds of dialogue for brother engagement and yes, we should have pip partnership with the universities. Even in north america, we have outstanding universities here . They need to know what we are doing. Also we need to help San Francisco city agencies help them because if you look at some of my agency, the Mayors Office of housing, the Mayors Office of Economic Development or whatever, they need so we know San Francisco has done. Some of us have been part of that. What we are doing here is different. We need to teach them and help them so we can all be doing that. One thing that we need to be doing in 2020, is organizing our own symposium. A workshop educational so we can talk to people. We have the resources here to invite automatic these outstanding institutions so to be part of what we are doing. So the legacy of Treasure Island, we are planting new trees here, i mean you look at this. All the things that you put together and theyre very impressive. So yes, i am extremely excited and i cannot wait until we begin the dialogue to really do that. I guess its long overdue, thank you. Ok. Yes, thank you also director beck for putting this together. I was also one of the directors that expressed a lot of interest particularly around the utility and Energy Evaluation of art how were meeting our sustainability goals or exceeding it and finding new and innovative ways to continue to be leading that charge for San Francisco. So, i have maybe two suggestions. One is, i think we should probably add Waste Management into this list. We have a lot of expertise we should take advantage of and belongs in the sustainability discussions. This is maybe more of a question, a couple of these items, particularly around the congestion management and transportation management, topics, seem to also overlap with the i. T. C. And im just wondering how we propose overlapping topics to dovetail. You are correct, some of these obviously infrastructure and transportation are two items that are on our list of sustainable topics. But i think some of those topics have multiple opportunities for discussion and maybe on the implementation side, we talk about congestion management at the i. T. C. I think its important to continue to highlight it. We talk about achieving a 50 50 mode share split through the congestion management pricing. The city wide goal, as is i am bodied in the department of environment and m. T. A. S, Climate Action goals, is to get to 80 of trips by transportation by 2030. Were still in build out at 2030. Congestion management is one of the things that is not going to be necessarily just to Treasure Island but in a broader context. [please stand by] and so wondering if, in that body, if there is going to be i mean, that requires knowing how much things are costing and getting into that detail, and so if thats not the right place for that, thats fine, but thats just kind of a question that i have, especially in development, the upfront costs for being green are high, so in terms of why that matters in terms of framework, it could be interesting to do that. Another thing is why it matters for people . I think that stormwater regulation does matter for people, especially when its raining and things are flooding. Thats a huge reason, so im wondering if this body could help with translating how some of this work shows up in peoples daytoday lives. And part of that could be with the universitys developing scorecards on why those things matter that can be easily disseminated and digested by the community. And the other thing is just metrics impact. Thinking through one of the things i was thinking is interesting theres already a lot of what you mentioned here, too, in terms of goals and items that Treasure Island is delivering on, but i still dont know what those things are and what they actually mean. We talk about carbon sequester, but what does that mean to people . I guess, like, what is the baseline in like, lead m. D. . Is everybody doing that . If not, we should be targeting why everybody is above the baseline. We should be mentioning is this baseline that youre touching on or are you not going to talk about that . Very much concerns. Lets see. Mr. Dunlap . Thank you very much, madam chair. I think this is a great, brilliant idea, and im really excited about the potential for being platinum. I think thats exciting, and it sort of raises a question, though, you know, we never hear about Treasure Island getting platinum, the lead platinum. We hear about outages, that kind of stuff. I think another way to get it to the press so we start getting the really positive press we deserve because everybodys staff, board has worked extremely hard, and you know were doing meaningful work, but it all ends up in peoples heads, at least, that oh, youre the people that are poisoning everyone, and were not. You know, theres so many great things, so a Committee Like this could maybe also tip the press balance. So i really like that idea and of course explaining why it matters. Thank you. I think we need to generate our own press, and that is what this is. And i just want to say certainly sustainability and position and the global everything, and even where theyre going to be overlapping, land use and transportation is land use, and all those things are related into that. This allows the flexibility into one where we are finishing one discussion, now we have two others that we can supplement that, you know, back and forth, back and forth. And i also would like to also have zero waste, which is really where San Francisco is leading and all of that to be a key item also in what were doing because our Development Plan, the reason we have this lead platinum, again, is what were doing with stonewater energy and all were using them, and the plan that we have with the p. U. C. And the waste and the solids and all of that. This allows the opportunity to how we have this new island, and how we are even going to go beyond what San Francisco main already have. So no matter how we cut this thing, we now have the flexibility to do what we ever wanted to do with our discussions. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment . Hearing none, next item. Clerk item number 11, discussion of future agenda items by director. Any future items . I just wanted to point out really quickly that, again, in the march meeting on the island, we will be looking at the very, very important issue about earthquake preparedness. Thank you very much for that. Hearing no other items, next item, please. Clerk meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Thank you very much. Adjourned.
