Both actions are in support of facilitating the museums successful completion of the project. The city will have an ongoing role in the submission project in administering the Community Benefits under the purchase and Sale Agreement and as owner of the museum space and landlord of the space and the fund is consistent with the citys ongoing role and the completion and operation of the space as we all know il will contribute to the cultural vitality and diversity. In addition the completion of the museum will increase Economic Activity and associated revenue from the patrons and visitors to the museum and benefits would be passed on to the amenities which includes the city and county of San Francisco. In terms of next steps both the amendment of the Grant Agreement and the transfer of the grant to the city are subject to the review and approval of the Oversight Board to determine if the acts are in the best interest. Those requests would be heard by the Oversight Board at their next regular meeting september 28. Thereafter its subject to review and approval by the state department of finance. This concludes staffs presentation. Id like to let you know representatives from the Mexican Museum are here today. Joining me is the chair of the board of the trustees of the Mexican Museum and the vice chair of the board of trustees, secretary of the board of trustees and others were available for any questions you may have and that concludes the presentation. Thank you. Mrfk madame secretary, do we have members of the public wishing to provide Public Comment. Those members of the public wish to comment dial 14084189388 enter 146 642 8927, press the pound sign twice to be entered in the call and press star 3 to be pressed in the queue. If youre already listening by phone president star 3 if youd like to provide a comment. Well allow a few moments. There are no callers. No members of the public. Commissioner ill close the Public Comment. Lets start with commissioner scott. Do you have questions or comments . Thank you for your presentation. Ive gone through it and so impressed and theres a question i wrote down. Do you think the one year in light of covid is enough time youre asking for an extension of a year. Do you think that will be enough time for you . Thank you, commissioner scott. I think the uncertain nature of pandemic we all acknowledge its an uncertain time frame and were balancing that with the progress the museum is making on its plans for the tenant improvement along with what the state department of finance may entertain with the Oversight Board. I can also speak to the time frame. It was proposed in conversations with their request to extend the Grant Agreement. Victor, do you want to address the question . Absolutely. Certainly it would be great and thank you for the presentation. The key point there is what would the department of finance and Oversight Committee feel more comfortable with. And we submitted the requests and local businesses small and large and some corporations and Large Businesses are not going reopen until maybe November December and some probably not until this First Quarter of next year. So things are not normal but wed prefer to have one year and not be challenged by the department of finances. Its a safer bet to go to the state and ask for one year we cant anticipate what they might or may not do. I think well have a friendly audience given some of the current extensions the state has offered with the stay at home orders as well as evictions and what everyone in the state of california is suffering. Certainly maybe perhaps if i may, through chair bustos, provide 12 to 18 months at the pleasure of department of finance may be more helpful than just the 12month extension and maybe that would give them an opportunity to go with 12 or 18 months. It allows for the flexibility in considering the time frame and we would not have the same Oversight Board and changes to the Grant Agreement. Thats part of the approach and the assignment allows flexibility and future consideration the city could take were perhaps more constrained by. Commissioner rosales do you have questions . Do you want the followup to that question part of my concerns about the one year have been addressed. I defer to you to followup. The followup to commissioner scotts question is if we approve this for 12 months, are we giving the ability to negotiate with the city 18 months instead of 12. Is that what were doing as well . As proposed it would be an extension of 12 months and transfer to the city and we would then if both approved by Oversight Board and the state we would extend the agreement and work on finding and transferring over to the city so that could be completed within the 12 months. And the need to extend the city would have time and the museum would have time to consider that. That would be the thought. Thank you. If i may chair bustos id like to piggy back on one comment. In hearing the discussion i do think to give the museum as well as the city some additional work due to semantics perhaps a revised motion to do up to 18 months and provide the ability to do 18 months opposed to 12 months may be helpful for everyone. Lets hear from vice chair rosales and then have discussion about that. Thank you, chair bustos. My question is centered on the city less the first issue though id like to hear more about what our executive director thinks about the proposal by mr. Marquez. With regard to the city this is a discretionary act on our part. In other words were not bound by any deadline to make the transfer at this time . We are bound to a time frame on the transfer. We would need to work through Oversight Board in the state to get approval of that and then work with the city partner on effectuating the transfer is more to come in terms of a time frame for tran ferg transferring that and get the prophylwe would need and approval we would need and work with City Partners on what approval they may need on their side. Does that address your question . We take action to transfer to the city to make the transfer to the city at this time. Through the chair because of the time line of approval and because we dont have authority we can take action. We can delay and give ourselves flexibility at this time we have mixed response from them over the years and are strategizing for the best approach. I have three additional questions. Which department of the city would receive would be responsible for the oversight on the project Going Forward . Its up to the city but its the City Department of real estate taking ownership of the cultural condo of which the museum would be the tenant. And it would be housed in the administrators office. Its normally up to the city to make that decision. That would be the assumption. Okay. My question is, once the transfer is completed i assume our jurisdiction resets . That is correct. The Grant Agreement is the last financial obligation to fund the museum were also party to the Sale Agreement as beneficiary under the purchasing agreement and again that agreement lines up largely when the developers obligations are concluded which is the construction of the power which is almost done and the conveyance of that museum space to the city and payment of their various community Community Benefits and under our last obligations in yerba buena. [audio digitizing]. The Small Businesses and local hire while theres similarities with ours and i try to be a mirror image on the l. B. E. Program, what happens with those obligations not only in terms of commitments im assuming they transfer over, but what happens to the contract compliance side. We work with the yerba buena gardens and thats precedent. Ramon. Im a supervisor for omcii. The obligation really ends theyre committed to local hire and part of making arrangements and an agreement. Im not fully 100 certain wirth respect to that. And agree the commitment can continue as expressed by the Mexican Museum. Thank you for the explanation. I refer to the chair about additional comments or questions. Id like to state that i dont have a concern about the oneyear time frame being expanded to 18 months for flexibility but prefer to retain jurisdiction unless i hear a contrary reason why not. So far im not convinced we should not hold on to the jurisdictions for at least a few more months. Just to ensure all the agreements and all the promises and our interests in seeing this project go through as weve envisioned it over now many years is realized. Those are my comments. Chair bustos. Chair bustos, if i may add a few comments to vice chair rosales a question i think may be pertinent. I think were good, victor. Is that an amendment, chair rosales . Yes. Youre asking the commission to amend whats before us from one year to 18 months and retain jurisdiction for now. Is that correct . Yes, thats correct, thank you. Okay. I would make that motion to amend for if the commissioner is okay with. First commissioner rosales. Seconded by the commission. Is there a second . I second it, yes. Thank you, commissioner scott. Soo we have a motion to amend. We have a first and second. So were now voting on this item. President bustos . Yes. This is general counsel. First you should vote on the amendment as to whether theres a majority of the commission that sports the amendment and if supports that amendment and if that passes you take another vote on the item as amended. If you want to follow the rules. I do so i may need your help on this. May i have a motion to vote thoins amendment from the floor. Yes, mr. Chair. I offer entering by our executive director entering into the First Amendment to the december 2010 Grant Agreement with the Mexican Museum. It sounded like the commission wanted to amend from 12 month to 18 months. Thats one amendment. That should be moved and considered and if theres other amendments those can be moved and voted on. Thats the ideal way to do it. We have the First Amendment which is 18 months. May i have an approval for that amendment and well need a roll call and commissioner salas moving the amendment with a second by commissioner scott. Can you roll call for that amendment . Yes. Were just voting on that portion and this is just on the amendment amendment. Please submit your vote for the amendment to move to 12 to 18 months, correct, and retain jurisdiction is that included or just the time line . Amend amended 12 to 18 month and motioned by chair rosales seconded by commissioner scott. Commissioners, can i get your vote. Commissioner brackett, have you joined us, can you hear us . Shes having audio problems. Commissioner scott. Yes. Vice chair rosales. Yes. Chair bustos. Yes. The vote is three ayes and one absent. So the motion carries for these amendments now we have to vote on the new standard which is 18 months. Ill need a first and motion. I move we authorize the addition of 18 months to this amendment. Moved. The motion is with the 18 months already embedded in it because its been approved as an amendment. Its a vote on the main motion. I would also note that its still a motion of a staff recommendation with the assignment in it so an 18 month extension with assignment to the city. We need to bifurcate. Thats one way but once again youd need an amendment to bifurcate or amend the motion now on the table. So based on our conversation thus far we would need if thats an interest in moving the assignment the amendment would be to delete the assignment from this amended motion which now is 18 months. Okay. So may i have a motion to delete the assignment of Jurisdictional Authority to the city so were going remove that. Yes. Commissioner rosales moves to delete the assignment from the term of extension. Great. Thank you. Is there a second . Ill second that motion. Thank you, commissioner scott. Commissioner members please announce your vote when i call your name. Commissioner brackett is absent. Commissioner scott. Yes. Vice chair rosales. Yes. Chair bustos. Yes. Mr. Chair the vote is three ayes and one absent. Motion to delete the transfer. Now were voting on the 18 month extension. May i have a motion to extend the contract by 18 months. So moved vice chair rosales. I second that. Seconded by commissioner scott. Commissioner members, please announce your vote when i call your name. Commissioner brackett is absent. Commissioner scott. Yes voice chair rosales. Yes. Chair bustos. Yes. Mr. Chair the vote is three ayes, one absent. Motion carries. Please call the next item. The next regular agenda item is 5c workshop no authorize the payment schedule. Thank you madame secretary. This is a discussion item. The oversight approved the payment schedule in january and before you is a workshop approved in the spring and then we had budget deliberations still ongoing and the board is expected to take action on the regular budget this month. This also allows for the agency to make amendments and submit on the approval. What you have before you is an overview of the proposed amendments as well as an opportunity to have the Oversight Board approve them and submit to the department of finance prior to october 1. We have a presentation on the item. Thank you. Can you hear me . Yes, we can. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is mina yu the analyst for ocii and here for the workshop on the amendment to realize obligation payment schedule for the fiscal year 2021. First a bit of background. It requires the agencies create this and the amendment allowing for an amendment to june 30 or the b period. This is an overview of our schedule. This was submitted february 1st and they issued the approval april 15 and im here to advance the workshop on the amendment. Well be incorporating feedback from your comment and present it as an action item before the Oversight Board on the 28th and then submitting our amendment to the department of finance by the 30th. This is just a reminder of the funding sources. We have our bond including prior and anticipated and we have reserve balances with property taxes and and we have a catchall for the amount not captured by the four other funding sources. We have property tax nonadmin on obligation for cost allowances. This breaks out our proposed 2020 amendment and compares this to our approved amount an increase of 4. 9 million in our property tax and this is updated for the tax roll we received in august. We repaired our 2021 with data from the winter of last year and so were requesting our amendment to reflect the updated rolls roles we received to reflect the increase. This table shows the increases in two of our major approved project areas. We have a 2. 1 million in our candle stick point and a total of 12. 9 million. So candle stick park will be moving property tax to pay reimbursement paid by the developer in june of 2019 the rye i am reimbursements is part to pay for the Outstanding Balance in that reimbursement request. And well be using part of the pay for debt service for bonds issued june 2020 and the remainder will be used what is required for the bond and the amount must be used for the outstanding issues of bonds. Essentially well be using the request to pay for this. The amendment is due to growth being hire than anticipated and from that amount the to the increase in the overall growth doesnt affect the flow of the funds. Additionally, our resolution allowed us to accept any increments in excess of the budget amounts so long as its included in the approved lots. This is the 2021 process. So well be presenting the workshop and the action item to the Oversight Board on the 28th and i am submitting the amendment to the department of finance on the 30th of this month. That concludes the presentation. Ill turn it back over to jamie. Mr. Chair. Madame secretary, do you have members of public who wish to comment .

I will take the first caller, and you have three minutes. Caller hello, commissioners. I am Chris Hillard i apologize i am getting some feedback here. Sorry about that. Commissioner, again, thank you for allowing me to speak. I am Chris Hillard, and my wife and i are the coowners of farleys, the coffee house on petrero hill. We have been there for 31 years now. And my father started farleys originally when he broke his french press and could not find a replacement part and found petrero hill could be the ideal location and we really became to embrace our motto which became community in the cup when the earthquake happened in 1989 and a lot of power around water in the city was out, except on petrero hill, and no one was going to work, so the neighborhood really came together and came to farleys and we became a Community Gathering space. That is really how community in a cup, our motto, began, and what we embrace today and we certainly hope to be approved for a legacy business to carry that on. As we all know, community is needed right now more than ever. I want to thank you for your consideration and thank you very much. Clerk thank you. [no audio. Sir, we lost your audio.

We are grateful to the commissioners for their support for this nomination and hope the city strengthens the support for the Legacy Program to preserve the Cultural Heritage of San Francisco. Thank you very much. Go ahead, caller. Caller thank you for taking my call. My name is john muskat, property enowner of san Bruno Supermarket at 2480 san bruno avenue.

I have spent many an hour at farleys and two of the businesses are 80 year old and cruising to another 20 for 100 years old and the gentleman who spoke about the lgbt and the comment about the sacred duty to doing this work could sum up everybodys responsibilities and feelings about their own businesses as they present to us, and i heartily endorse all of these. I will certainly vote to approve them. Clerk i apologize to interrupt. We have a late request for Public Comment and should take that caller. Go ahead, caller. Is the member of the public prepared to submit your testimony . You should mute the television or computer. There is a delayed broadcast. Hello . A yes, i run val de cole. Can you hear me . Yes, we can hear you, sir. Should i speak about the store or what should i say . This is your opportunity to address any of the legacy Business Applications. Ed you have less than two minutes. Val de cole is one of the oldest wine store Liquor Stores in San Francisco and i believe it started in the 30s and there was an older couple who always kept their newspapers and Everybody Loves our store and is always coming back. One year the American Express called us a second store for repeat customers in the country with the same people and the same customers. I started in 1977 and worked for a previous owner whose name was jacob and we learned all about wine and beer. The place is always respectful and we open holidays and we never close. I think its a good addition to the community and in a different neighborhood. So there they really like us. This is there for many, many years. You have 30 second, sir. That is why i am requesting for the legacy for the store to stay the way it is because it is very that is very classic. Thank you. A commissioners, the mater is now before you. Remind the commissioners to mute the mics when you are not speaking. Next commissioner please. Commissioner i want to congratulate all the legacy business applicants for this round. All of you spoke with great passion. I am so happy and proud to be added to the list.
