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.

Welcome to the San Francisco board of supervisors land use and Transportation Committee for today, monday, january 13th, 2020. Our first Land Use Committee meeting of the new year. I am the chair of the committee, aaron peskin, joined by my right vicechair supervisor safai and for his first meeting of the Land Use Committee, our nuecesesnewestmember, dean pres. Also another first, our new deputy City Attorney to the board of supervisors anne pearson is joining us for her first sole solo meeting. Our kirk is erika major. Do you have any announcements . Silence all cellphones and electronic devices. Completed speaker cards ex copies of any documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. They will appear on the january 28th, board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Thank you. Could you please read the first item . Item number 1 is the health code to authorizes the director of department of publichealth to allow an existing medical cannabis dispensary to operate under that permit at a new location provided the permit. Thank you, this ordinance is sponsored by our former committee member, matt haney, and on supervisor haneys behalf, if you want to speak to that that would be great. If if we have any quiz for them. The floor yours. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Im speaking on behalf of the supervisor haney. Our office introduced this ordinance to amend the health code allowing for some limited for cannabis dispensaries under the article 33 permit. The main reason our office is taken this on we saw an opportunity to support smile business and what we continue to see in San Francisco is that cannabis businesses are incredibly vulnerable to conviction. Businesses that have otherwise been good actors can lose all of their investments and jobs at the whim of their landlords. As the city rolls out its article 16 license and moving away from article 33 we wanted to make sure we provided protection where possible especially for equity business applicants without providing openings for predator tee big money cannabis operators to push out Small Businesses or further incentivizing landlords to inconvict their tenants to turn a bigger profit. We worked very closely with both the department of cannabis and publichealth to make sure that we are both supporting the needs of vulnerable businesses and balancing that with making sure that this limited portability is narrow and specific enough to prevent abuse. This ordinance would authorization the director of the department of health to allow a gathered permit tee to change the associations with the permit with the following criteria are met. One, the permity submits a written request requesting the change and identifying the proposed new location. Two, the permity has been verified by the office of cannabis as an equity applicant. Three, the permity has been evicted from the location associated with the permit been notified that the lease at the location will be or has been terminated or not renewed. Four, the new location has an existing authorization for medical cannabis dispensary use. Five the the permity has complied with all applicable requirements of article 33 of the health code, the planning code and the police code with respect to the new location and six, the Planning Department department of building inspection, Mayors Office on disability, fire department, and office of cannabis, review and inspect the new location as required and report their determinations to the director and the director determines that the permity has satisfied all of these requirements. Additionally, our office in discussion with the departments, is requesting an amendment that adds a requirement the permity has been listed in the article 33 permit application submitted on or before january 25th, 2018 as an applicant or a person who would be engage in the management of the m. C. D. Again, the goal of this legislation is to further strengthen the ability of equity cannabis businesses to survive without creating loopholes for abuse and the knowledge this is in some ways a gap measure until the city has phased out its type 33 licenses. We believe more can and should be done to protect small cannabis retailers in s. F. And this legislation hopes to accomplish one small part of this work. I have copies of the amended legislation as well as an updated legislative gu digest tt outlines what i have presented to you. Thank you, well come grab those. Supervisor peskin do you have any questions for supervisor haneys staff . Would you like to hear from the office of cannabis or the department of publichealth or is that sufficient and ms. Majors handing around the amendments, if not, are there members of the public who would like to speak to item number 1 . Please, come forward. First speaker, come on up. Morning or afternoon. My name is bram goodwin. Im with the San Francisco social club and also the browny mayor democratic club. I want to start by welcoming my supervisor, because i live until the hait, dean preston. Its a thrill to see you here and i appreciate your service. Thank you. I urge the support this item so that relief, one of our legacy cannabis dispensaries can relocate. Service their local customers including many medical users like myself. Relief was one of the original cannabis dispensaries when there were future choices. Which being around then helped me buy Legal Cannabis. We are now two years into cannabis legalization which has brought some positives, such as legalization, giving us our rights, lab testing, some new dispensary openings. But, it is brought my much higher prices to consumers. Very high cannabis taxes leading to greater market share fort Illegal Cannabis market. Slow roll out of additional cannabis businesses due to red tape. The lack of compassion programs due to legal issues. In the concern that some new equity dispensaries could be back doors for national change. That is why it is important to approve this agenda item so one of our local communitybased dispensaries will be able to continue to service this community. I would urge all of the supervisors to read the recently released control report on the state of San Francisco cannabis. To take a closer look how this newly emerging industry forming. Help guide it to a consumerfriendly local based enterprise. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is gilbert and im a disabled veteran. I believe you should reward a good behavior. The relief is one of the few clubs that is honored 2 15. Ive gone to clubs and they have no idea what im talking about when i ask for my discount. Anyway, theyre one of the good players and it would be sad to is he them go. Reward good behavior. Grandfather them in and also, theyre also into compassion, equalization, and legacy. Anyway, the thing is that right now, over 100 veterans are benefiting from their compassion program. You are going to hear from some of the veterans here. Theyre in the evac program. You know, you know about our veterans getting shortchanged by the federal government. Its good to be able to give them a break once in a while. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon, Committee Members. My name is greg. Im a former Harm Reduction Service Director of access to love sf. Cofounder of the black and brown cannabis possie. A group of concerned medical Cannabis Patients dedicated to preserving Compassion Services as well as our legacy dispensaries. We stand in support of supervisor mainlys legislative situation legislation im sorry. Solution, im sorry, in order to preserve one of our legacies dispensaries. I have had the privilege to work with hiedi and the relief team, which i might say, she and her crew has been in the business of serving our community for over 15 years. And have supported Compassionate Services with us at access to love and throughout the city. Let hiedi and the relief dispensary be a rule instead of an exception. And ones again, thank you supervisor haney for your leadership, and thank you for your consideration. Supervisor peskin thank you. Next speaker. Access of love sf cannabis Harm Reduction and we were next door neighbors to the relief club. Relief were great neighbors hoping to improve our block and generous supporters of all patients sad vow k advocacy gron francisco. Theyre part of legacy group of San Francisco which excuse me. Which upheld traditional compassion values. We urge your vote yes on today and we are looking forward to the City Attorney developing a plan of Restorative Justice for all the legacy, medical cannabis dispensaries and compassion programs. Lets move forward with legacy and equity and compassion reparations. Thank you. My name is larry ferie. Im getting locked up here. Just reading the paper today, in this paper they have an article on the marijuana problem in the sense that theyre going to raise the tax on marijuana again, higher, which makes it hard for shops and stuff to sell marijuana because there are less shops around and more people are going to buy illegal marijuana. Theyre going to kill themselves with things that have been stepped on, drugs that have been put into these illegal drugs, you know, are killing these people. Its not the marijuana clubs, which are certified, their dope is been tested. Its like ok, so most of the cities dont want marijuana clubs. But then that means permit. It would be better for the health of the veterans and stuff. Im taking marijuana right now and stuff because i have a lot of problems. Im 78yearsold. I need this drug. We need a place where we can buy these drugs legally. Thats why im here. Thank you. Supervisor peskin next speaker. Good afternoon, land use and Transportation Committee. My name is june bug and im born and raised here in San Francisco. Im a San Francisco voter and i live in district 5. Congratulations, dean preston. Im here as a Cannabis Patient today and im also the cochair of the rose kenyan group. Im in support of this permit because this deals with having safe access to our medicine. 350 face closure and that was one dispensary that provided safe and Affordable Access to medicine, a. K. A. Cannabis. In 2012, patients faced another crisis of losing a lot of the legacy dispensaries that provided safe access. To Cannabis Medicine for marginalized patients for San Francisco. So relief was actually one of the few dispensaries that actually was still providing Compassionate Services to the community of over 15 years. So having this permit is vital. Its a vital asset to our community and it continues the legacy of providing safe and Affordable Access to real patients who nee need it. Thank you. Supervisor peskin next speaker. Hi, im kendra sagger. Back in 2015, i had 14 heart attacks. I died 12 times. I am on s. S. I. I cannot afford cannabis at the higher prices in the taxes. Relief is always been somewhere where i can go and get help. Please help them. They closed down. We need help and compassion. We need to quit dem onizing weed and marijuana. Its not a killer, its medicine and i need it. Please help us. Supervisor peskin next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is gabrielle. I was an employee at relief herbal cooperative. Man, its been six years since ive been around there and wasnt an employee for six years but just being around them and getting to know people they gave me the opportunity to be a part of their family. Were looking forward to hopefully coming back and continuing on building a new community somewhere. We built an Awesome Community the past six years when i was able to see everything. Hopefully everything goes good today. We can continue on and get our jobs back and move forward. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, necnext speaker. Show your support by waving your fingers. Good afternoon. Im edward from the o. E. G. This legislation before you is about keeping this citys legacy and equityowned medical cannabis dispens dispensary frog dease placed through no fault of their own. Its an equity owned dispensary thats been a pillar in the community for 15 years. They have served the medical community faithfully. They have provided affordable cannabis products for our citys low income, they hire locally and provide a great wage. They have a Community Plan that serves veterans and provides mentorship for equity applicants. The owner of relief is born and raised in San Francisco and is always run their operations compliant with all city and state requirements. I can personally say that they deeply care about their business, they care about their employees and the city they come from. Please vote yes on this legislation to keep relief of San Francisco institution and their employees from permanent displacement. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon, im john glen with access of love. He would remind you of the socially conscious Business Practices that relief has engage in. They have helped at Risk Communities and their closure has harmed at Risk Communities. So i would strongly urge you to green light their relocation so they can resume the help and support that theyve given to those who are ill and those who are low income. So they can resume what theyve been doing all these years so well. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, next speaker. Hello. My name is denise dory. I serve district 6, primarily we support a quick fix for the legacy club relief, which is based in the district 6 area and its based in equity and compassion and has, without any problems, served our area and improved neighborhood safety. We also urge the City Attorney to immediately recede the handful of legacy clubs that served our locals, patients and consumers successfully for so long. We know how successfully because we see what is happening to folks without them. Its not pretty. And so, we are very concerned that Legal Cannabis is not affordable and equity and compassion are not being preserved by the because of the difficulty in relocating our legacy providers. So, im in favor of grandfathering relief legacy dispensary they have been participating and advocating for compassionate programs. And many non legacy dispensaries are priced too high and theyre more focused towards the tourists, thank you for your time. Thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon, my name is reece benton. I am also a womanowned cannabis business here in San Francisco soon so open. When i started using cannabis again, relief was the second club i went to here in San Francisco. And then eventually when i got into the business, i met hiedi anshe has helped me. I went to her as a mentor and she gave me her resources. I dont see her as a competitor but a legacy and we need these people that started cannabis to be around because they are the leaders and theyve been doing this and we need old people or grand fathers in this business because theyve been here from the start and they knows the inns and outs. I feel, as a business owner, and the same sector, that her not being able our relief not being able to move on to another location is a disservice to everybody. I mean, it would be unfair. Im not open but i dont want to see another club go down and not be open and not be able to service their patients because its really the patients get attached to people and you have a bond. It would be a disservice for her not to be able to give her patients the medicine and for her not to be able to mentor more people and for her to be stagnant while were opening and shes not. I hope you vote yes on this because its well deserved and if shes not moving on, we shouldnt be moving on. Supervisor peskin thank you. Next speaker. Good morning. My name is david im a disabled American Veteran born in San Francisco. I believe that we need relief to help with more affordable cannabis. It helps with arthritis, stress, everything. Before this medical cannabis, my personal, i usually do not patronize a lot of these cannabis dispensaries because theyre much too expensive. Years ago, i would go to dalores park in the 70s. Now, today, it should be more affordable for veterans, people accessible to help the public and im standing behind backing cannabis for relief. Ive been at relief before and ive been at a few different cannabises clubs in the past. From my experience, theyre very expensive and the real crime would be when theyre out on the street. People are fighting. Thats the problem. And relief, thats what we need. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you, next speaker, please. Hello, my name is franco. Im a vietnam vet. Ive been on opioids for 20 some years. Through the v. A. Hospital and the use of cannabis i was able to get off of opioids. I feel much better. Its really cannabis is one of the things that really has saved my life, i believe. It helped me get through the vietnam war and it helped me through all the pain and suffering that i had after the war. I have very, very low income. I cant really afford cannabis or the stuff i need. And they have places like relief that helps us. We are, as veterans, have helped you guys in the past so will you please help relief to help us so we can feel better and end the suffering. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is timo and im a San Francisco native born and raised. I also am a cannabis business owner. Ive been displaced from San Francisco. I cant afford to live here and i cant afford to do cannabis business here so i had to go to it would be a misery if original San Francisco people like this cant continue to have business here. Dont let them leave like i had to leave. They are helping these people and theyve been here from the beginning. They are hiring people from the neighborhood when they were in the mission. Im here to say this needs to be passed. It should be a formality and i hope it will already go through. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, board. My name is arrow. Im a San Francisco native.
