Transcripts For SFGTV BOS Full Board Of Supervisors 20240712

Pandemic. Small businesses owned by people of color are most at risk of being wiped out. As a japanese american im concerned about Small Businesses facing eviction in japan town. If these businesses fail, it opens the door to property being sold to developers. They may transform the property and change the charter of japan town, similar to what happened to the International Hotel property in malil a town where the hilton hotel now stands. Please support these ordinance to give Small Businesses a fighting chance to survive and preserve our communities of color. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Great timing. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. All right. Operations lets hear from the next caller, please. Good evening, supervisors. My name is ryan and im the owner of a japanese photo both shop. As a Business Owner for the past 14 years i can say its challenging running a Small Business in the city even before this pandemic. My kids are saying yall need to help us out my shop is in japan town where folks go to have fun and explore Japanese Culture but you know unfortunately with the circumstances it looks like it can come to an end. But its not too late to take action and say that thousands of other Small Businesses in the city. Extending the commercial conviction moratorium is great and i urge you to push the envelope further with Small Businesses to get back on their feet and you can snap a finger and its impossible to come up with six month rent but if you give Business Owners time it will give temperature a heighting chance otherwise we risk losing all the Small Businesses and many owned by people of color such as myself that make japan town such a unique place to live.

All right. Madam clerk, lets go ahead and is there anybody that wants to severe these items . Id like to severe item number 114. This is supervisor stefani. Supervisor yee number 114 . And, mr. President i would like to be added to 116. Thank you. Supervisor preston, i believe. 111, please. On the. So that leaves 112, 113, 115, 117, 118, 119. Correct. Go ahead and call the roll on those items. [ roll call vote[. Vote ] add me to item 112 112 and , aye. Peskin, aye. There are 11 ayes and we will add you, supervisor. Objection. Madam clerk, please add me to 112. I know we emailed that but i dont know if it got to the clerk. Well add you here, thank you. Without objection the resolutions are adopted and motion is approved unanimously. Lets go to item 111. Item 111 is a resolution to urge the office of the governor of the state of california to extend eviction protections and Financial Support for Small Businesses and their employees beyond september 30th, 2020 with a healthy economy recovery from the covid19 pandemic. Supervisor yee supervisor peskin. Mr. President , i had no intention of removing item 111 and i called supervisor preston. My apologies. Thank you, president yee and sorry for the confusion and i just wanted to thank supervisor peskin for his leadership on this item. He outlined the importance of this and no need to reiterate that. Were obviously looking at it expiring executive order and the neighborhood commercial corridors in our district but as you can tell from the Public Comments in my district this is crucial for japan town and we have have a number of folks and and who stated it better than i can. The Japan Center Mall is really in so many ways, the anchor to the january an Town Community and its the home to dozen of unique and really important Small Businesses in our community and including legacy businesses and these businesses through no fault of their own have not operated for months and they really are, we are looking at businesses that are on the verge of massey convictions and my office and supervisor peskins office have been working with they represent 44 tenants and theyve been attempting to negotiate with the landlords and comments to try to workout some form of rent re loaf or compromise and landlords, thus far theyve been unwilling to budge at all or entertain these discussions and these losing these businesses will be a profound loss not just for the merchants but for the entire cultural neighborhoods and one that has experienced in generation past that the trauma of mass displaysment and so we know what needs to happen to a void this outcome and the first thing that needs to happen is for our governor to step up and extend the emergency order to allow us to continue our prevention efforts and i want to reiterate my thanks to supervisor peskin for leading the way on this. Thank you. Thank you president. Ok. Madam clerk, go ahead and call the roll. [ roll call vote ] i also want to be added as a co sponsor if im not. Can i also be add add as a cosponsor. Just in time. The resolution is adopted. Madam clerk, call 114. Ok. A resolution to urge the City Attorney and the District Attorney to investigate the Burning Man Party at ocean beach and to file charges against organizers for violating Applicable Health orders. Supervisor stefani. Id like to continue this item for one week. Ok. It will continue until next week. Why think we have to take a vote for that. Yes, mr. President. We do . Yes to continue this item to september 29th. Can i just ask, i mean, this seems like pretty routine and through the president to supervisor stefani and why do we need to continue this if they want to vote no, i have to condition it. Lets just see who wants to vote no. Im ready to support it. Did you want to continue . Is there a second to continue. The only way that we wouldnt condition it is if the result was unanimous and we cant vote on it today and it would have to be unanimous. You are correct. We can see if it is or not and. Mr. President , supervisor stefani can we have a little discussion about it and then if its on the agenda it we talk about it and hear if theres colleagues who disagree with this and why and continue it . I rescind my motion to continue it and happy to vote on it today. Any comments. Yes and im pulling it up but i was so grateful to supervisor stefani for her willing us to give us time to work on this and i shared my colleagues in the general sort of horror and shock about what happened at ocean beach. It seemed like a little bit much and i imagine that the full board would want to condemn the activities but im not thinking we should be calling for the time and prosecution of people over this. We can talk about it. Thank you supervisor stefani. So im happy to call roll for it. We have the option to send it to committee, is that correct . Its absolutely correct. One member can do so. What committee do you think it should be sent to . If they would like to send it to committee. Im speaking to the president. What committee would you recommend to this . Let me think. I would think that it could go to Public Service . Public Service Public safety sounds about right. That is where we, that is where you could have that kind of discussion. You know. And actually, ask the city and City Attorney what measures they would take because i dont think theyre here or available to answer those types of questions. Ocean beach is in my neighborhood and i havent had a discussion with the author about this and so i think it would be helpful to send it to committee. I think i understand and i heard supervisor stefani is open to that is there motion to accepted it. Parten my intrusion but did supervisor stefani want to send it to committee herself as the sponsor she could and. Thats fine. Ill send it to committee. Ok. Supervisor is there awe second. This is not necessary this is the issue with this part of agenda one member can do so to send it to committee i see that supervisor preston is still on the roster. I was on there if it was going to committee it can reserve comments i will just say briefly that i share some of the concerns supervisor mandelman has raised around the actual resolution calls for and when its too severe but i also just want to say that theres been a number of troubling gatherings including those hosted by churches and many that we see on a day bee basis and i am certainly interested in if its going to committee well hear about it there but just why the board of supervisors would be in what is the reason this is being brought forward. Were all troubled by larger gatherings and im unclear why this is singled out in this way. Im happy if you want to address that now or in committee, whatever your preference is. This is going to go to committee. Thank you. Thank you. So, that brings us to someone said something. I would actually like us to if i may and im thinking about this for a while and its not an easy thing but i would like to make a motion to rescind the vote on item 115 and is a motion to rescind the vote on 115s. Will a second . [ roll call vote ] there are eight ayes and three nos. Supervisor yee so the motion to rescind passes. I struggle with this and you know, i can tell you my struggle has resulted in me making this late in the evening motion. I have to tell you, i can produce the subject of any number of remark plea hateful antisemitic attacks by email and in perp on the street but this happens in San Francisco. Probably a lot less than in other places. After 20 years, i know how to suck it up and hang with it and it never feels good. When were in the middle of an election cycle, and there is applied for one candidate for one office and not another candidate for another office both of whom are proud jewish, i would like my name added to this item and to the president to supervisor stefani. As someone who is a proud jewish person of faith and who also is the subject of antisemitic attacks. I cant ignore these things and i think to myself, i can roll with this and handle this but i actually who experienced this i can turn to my right and during an election psychologistel if were doing it for one elected official we should do it for other elected officials. Im happy to vote for this but i feel like i should be included in this too and maybe supervisor mandelman has experienced this and maybe supervisor preston has experienced this and maybe supervisor haney has experienced this but i just wanted put that on the record. All due respect my straight colleagues urn generally called pepedophile. In the same breath, lets add supervisor mandelman to that too. Let us have this through the president be a combination of this kind of behavior against elected officials who only exhibits inclusiveness who only stands for unity and so yes, you have me at hello on that through the president supervisor mandelman and absolutely. Supervisor walton. Thank you so much president yee. I just wanted to, if supervisor peskin is making an amendment i would support that. Im happy to condemn anti sem tism and homophobic attacks on anyone who receives them. So if you want to send this to committee and or discuss it further, happy to do so because anyone who engages in such horrible anti sem tism, especially now, in homo phone i can attacks, im happy to include everyone who experiences it. If you want it to include everybody, im happy to do that or if you want to amend the colleagues here that are jewish, happy to do that. Whatever you would like as long as we continue to condemn antisemitism and attacks on people including homophobic attack and Death Threats and everything else, thats outlined in this resolution. I will let you decide what you want to do with this. So we also include racist attacks, quite frankly ive been subject to that. As the only woman of color on this board. Mr. President , sir. I think the findings in here are all true and correct. All of the recitals and the whereases are absolutely right and they could certainly be expanded and when we get to the one, the resolves they could be quite expanded and so that it is not about one elect official. It is really about the focus of hatred that often becomes focused on elect official and we are the man i havetation by the electorate of communities and color, religion, geographic communities. I would like to work with supervisor stefani and supervisor fewer and supervisor mandelman and i would like to make a suggestion that we continue this item one woke and i will work with to really denounce hate, of all sorts, particularly against people who do this as a matter of Public Service and so i would make a motion to continue this item one week and well work with supervisor stefani and mandelman to expand results. Thank you. What were you saying . May i respond . Go ahead. I have two other people. Just, thank you for the suggestions. I think while were at it we should also add misogyny on there and ive been victim of that several times. Lets go there too. All the attacks that happen on Public Officials and the Death Threats from the nra so we might as well as massag massage misogy to discuss all of this. Thank you president yee and i think we have all experienced these attacks and on Public Officials to i appreciate the conversation. I want to say the attacks, the really orchestrated attacks on senator wiener have been appalling and rightfully called out. I have a question and through the president to deputy City Attorney on the issue that supervisor peskin raised around timing and candidates. I would like to know if theres any guidance regard what is is or is not appropriate from the board in terms of resolutions in effect taking on attacks on a candidate and the numerous attacks launched on a candidate for office, for example. And latina, queer, indigenous person who i think that would likely not be an appropriate, i think its my question and i think theres a sensitivity in this body of not using the official processes to weigh in on the electoral matter and candidate races. As we consider this further and it sounds like theres some from the in considering it is there any guidance can you give us on when is it or is it not appropriate with an election so close for us to weigh in on resolutions direct low addressing those candidates for office. Anne peerson, theres an election hearing in need meetings and i appreciate you raising that point and it sounds like the amendment the board is contemplating are to expression the opposition to racism and all sorts of things more generally and not with respect to specific candidates and in the elections coming up. Thank you. And i just, you know, i want to be careful and i had an event just the other day and in which im not sim and a swastika was in the event and i would not bring it forward because it was something relate today a Campaign Type issue and it would not seem appropriate if it was something that deserved to be which we all would and i would assume that that would be an inappropriate and i dont know if my assumption is correct and genuinely tried to navigate as we talk about it whether its pro pro at given the proximity of elections. Its relevant in light of the upcoming election. Supervisor walton, i believe. Thank you president yee. I just had a point of clarification and moving forward the resolution to committee and as we brought injustices we inincluded in the resolution, are we adding names of people to include supervisor peskin and supervisor fewer and stephanie along with the senator . I dont think theres clarification and you can discuss with between today and next week, i guess. If i may, mr. President , im putting my name on the roster and i know that supervisor walton has been the recipient of the n word in public and on his fax machine and its something none of us talk about and i want to appreciate supervisor stefani for talking about this, lets be honest, people who chose to run for this office get Death Threats. That actually happens to us we get crazy emails and crazy faxes and we dont talk about it. But now that this is brought up, for which i appreciate, lets have a full conversation. Weve all undertaken the business of under representing people that make us the target of hate and hopefully not man fess the physically. Lets spread it around to the lbgt folks that get it and the women that get it and community of color that get it and lets spread it to the jewish people that get it and let this be a statement for all of us who any other comments. This item is continued until next muni which is the 29th. Well need a second on that and a vote to continue it. Its a different process than one member sending it to committee and i wanted and confirm with supervisor mandelman, did you want me to add you. I was added as a cosponsor. O. , ox. And who made it to september 29th. Is there a second . Can i have a second. Roll call, please. Item 115 to september 29th, supervisor preston. [ roll call vote ] clerk there are 11 ayes. Months t motion to continue e 29th passes. Thank you, everybody. This goes to. Today i have no member i am mor yums to present. Thats the end of our agenda. Madam clerk s. There any further before us today . That concludes our business for today. Ok, sorry, colleagues, its ending so early but meeting adjourned. Hell oh everyone. Thank you so much for joining us today. Well, covid has changed our lives. The fact it is has changed how we go to work, how we go to restaurants, how we interact with each other but this year will change how we vote. We want to make sure here in San Francisco, we make it as simple as possible. Im excited to be here to announce that although we cant do what weve done in the past, and provide early voting in city hall, we are going to be doing early voting right outside on grove street in what looks like a Beautiful Party at the present time. I want to thank the department of elections, and he will talk about more about exactly the steps that his team has taken to ensure that we not only make voting accessible, we make it safe. We want to make sure that people feel comfortable if they need to vote early. They can come to this Voting Center and it will be opening on monday. If they want to vote on election day or drop off their ballots on election day, well have 588 locations all over the city. And, what is dont be alarmed if you dont receive your ballot you wont be able to vote. This department of elections has received everything. If you didnt receive it in the mail can you provide replacement ballots. If you are going out of town and you need a ballot mailed to a different location, theres a system in place to do just that. For whatever reason, you are not certain or uncomfortable accessing a paper ballot, theres just a lot of options. Theyve been sending things in the mail, sending things online to say our goal is to make this as easy as possible. In the last president ial election, sa san franciscans tud out in record number. It was a 80 turnout. In 2008, it was 81 . This is a city that prides ourselves on making sure our voices are heard. Were not going to covid stop us from making sure that you have access to vote in San Francisco at your convenience. Im excited and i know that theres a lot of confusion out there but this department of election has done everything it can to make sure that its easy to call the department of elections, call 311, go online if you need information for where to pick up a ballot or a replacement ballot. We thought of everything. So, theres no excuse for anyone in this city who is a registered voter not to vote. And in addition to that, if you are not registered to vote, and you would like to register to vote, you have until october 19th. So, make sure that you take the opportunity to go online and this center is open and you can come here and register to vote and you can vote on the same day. In addition to the dress up locations on election day, and this Voting Center right across the street from city hall, we will have a number of of drop off ballot locations the weekend before election day. Linda brooks Burton Library and the branch library. Because again, were trying to make it easy as possible and its ballots inperson or on election day. If you need more information, please visit the department of elections website at spelections. Org. Call 311 or call 415 5544375. So with that, i just want to again thank everyone for their cooperation, the work they do. I really want to express a special thank you so john arts and the department of elections staff because they have been working very hard to make sure that no question is unanswered. Anything or any scenario that could occur, they wanted to make sure they were prepared to support and address the public. And they work with the number Great Community organizations and to get out the vote and some of those organizations are with us today, including George Chance from the chinese Newcomer Service center, jackie flynn, the ex you director of and these are organizations who make sure that communities all over San Francisco have accessed to vote. And we appreciate the work that theyve done for many, many years. I also want to thank martha cohen, the director of special events, for taking such time and care with creating a warm and inviting space. Thank you, martha for your work. And with that, i want to turn it over to our special guest, joining us here today, you probably recognize him because the tallest person here. Our state senator, scott wiener. Thank you, madam mayor. And i also want to thank martha and also our department of elections and john arts for once again really stepping up to make sure that san franciscans can vote and vote easily. Thats one of our core values in San Francisco that we want people to vote and we want to make it easier for people to vote so i have complete confidence in our department of elections that we will run a beautiful election here and that we will it will just be a really strong showing and a really difficult period of time. This is a partnership between the state and our counties including San Francisco we took action at the state level to people being able to vote during a pandemic and we authorized global vote by mail o so everyone gets a ballot even if you are not signed up as a permanent absentee and not put barriers in order to get an absentee ballot and normally, it has to be post marked byelection day and i do want to ask people please, try not to rely on post marking on election day and sometimes you can mail it after whatever the pick up is at that particular box and there are unfortunately thousands of ballots each time where people just mail it too late in the day. It doesnt get post marked. Make sure you are going to mail it, please, troy t try to mail tractortrailer dait theday bef. Even if theres a problem with the post office, which i dont think there will be. You have plenty of time if you mail it right up to election day. It has 17 days to a arrive instead of three and that is a huge change in stay law that weve made to just make sure that every ballot can be counted. What this is really about is auctions. We want people to make choices that work for them and people can drop it off in different locations and of course, we have absolutely amazing voting facility here which will respond to our health needs in terms of allowing people to show up and vote safely. And to be able to do it efficiently. The capacity here, as you can see, is huge. Its going to start on monday and also be opening two weekends before the election. Were making it so easy for people to vote in a way that works for them and their family and their own health situation. I have a digital town hall last week with our secretary of state, alex padilla and with con on cause and a representative of the American Postal Workers Union and she was very, very clear that she has confidence that the mail is going to work well for this election. Despite some of the turbulence we were saying, theyve been able to move through that and she assured us our postal workers, who are some of our front line essential workers, who are putting themselves out there during this pandemic so we can do what we need to do as eye society theyre going to work incredibly hard and they will deliver the mail and people can have confidence in the mail. So, again, thank you, madam mayor, thank you to our department of elections and lets just run a great election as always. Thank you. And now, i want to invite up our director of elections, john arts. Thank you, senator werent. Thank you mayor breed and also for organizing this event. This is a great timing for an event like this, just before early voting begins. Early voting will begin october 5th here at the Voting Center located outside bill graham auditorium. This is an example of the mayor and the senator wiener have indicated and the department and city have take ep steps to make sure that voting is safe and healthy experience for all voters in San Francisco. The ballots we mailed actually tomorrow and voters will start receiving ballots on saturday and then theyll most will receive ballots on monday going through the election week. We have a full compliment of polling polic Police Station ple want to drop off or they dont want to mail their ballot back, just before elections day, is they are outside the voting area so voters dont have to go mud the voting area. They decrease the amount of traffic that voters would experience at election day. And everything that weve done since really the end of the march election going through the cycle for november, has been to plan in relation to conduct an election, while trying to respond to a pandemic. So everything that is happening here at bill graham auditorium, is organized so that people can maintain social distancing and theres ppes that our personnel are wearing and useing and the public has provided ppe and hand sanitizers and sanitizing wipes, face shields and things like that and the same for the polling places. The voters and coworkers can maintain social distancing as they go through the election process on election day. Weve had p. P. E. S available for the voters and the poll workers on election day. And the inperson voting here at the bill graham auditorium and the polling places theres a cleansing of the areas and materials and the commonly used items throughout the day so voters will go into a clean voting environment when they go to cast their ballot on election day. Also, i want to echo the comments about the post office. Weve had conversations and meetings with the post office before this election and to make sure there was no issues and with the processing and to support the conduct of this election for november. The post office of senator wiener noted, has put tremendous men does attention and focus on their abilities and their requirements to give ballots up to vote and he is get ballots to voters to elections here in San Francisco. I want to share the city and the departments of elections has put much time and thought into this and so theyre safe and secure and everyone has a good experience on election date ill turn it over to george chan. And even we call chinese and were helping everyone. So this year were happy to be receiving support from the city to continue the registered people. So, this year, we see the ballot we mailed to you and we help people register. We follow that many times they dont know if you change your address, make sure you update it, ok. So also, if you do know your status, we can help you to check it as well. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is jaclyn flynn.

Thank you, do we have anyone on the line . We have one caller on the line at the moment. Thank you. Opening the first line now. Caller hi, my name is alex and im a neighbor of the port i live in the india basin neighborhood. For the past 20 years, and im sure certainly longer, the rendering plant at the pier has been obnoxious nuisance for the neighborhood, especially during the summertime. Especially when the winds start growing off the bay. This past spring and summer the plant has been especially bad and having been stuck here at home, the problem is much more noticeable. I used to be i was on the southern Waterfront Advisory Committee many years ago when the rendering plant was being expanded and we were promised state of the art odor control, per a community hotline, and a better management from the port and all of that has gone by the wayside. Its really vital that the port get a hold of its and if the lessee cant correct their behavior they should shut it down. Thank you, we appreciate your call. Are there any other callers . At this time, there are no other callers on the phone wishing to make Public Comment on this item. Thank you. Seeing no more callers on the phone, Public Comment is now closed. Next item, please. Item number 9a is the executive directors report. Good afternoon, president brandon, commissioners, members of the public. And port staff. Im elaine the executive director and first and foremost port staff will look into the prior callers comments about the rendering plant in the back lands. Thank you for calling in on Public Comment. My report will begin with an he equity update and the ports recovery in light of covid19 and new guidance from Health Experts as well as key project updates, hide street and harbor and i will have clarity along with michael par tin to offer reflexes on Waterfront Development in light of last weeks presentation on piers 30 and pier 32 and sea lot 330. The public is wellinformed on Waterfront Development generally and specifically the process for pier 30, 32 and seawall lot 330. We are in the final two weeks of our listening tour for phase 1 of the Racial Equity action plan. I want to acknowledge staff who have engage and offered ideas on ways the port can be a more equitable workplace. More diverse and inclusive. As on starringization. Our Racial Equity action plan is meant to be reflective of the ports collective voice and were working to do that. Im happy to announce the port has replaced Board Legislative Affairs manager as the ports rep ten to the lbe advisory subcommittee and they served on the lbe advisory subcommittee since 2016, he actually replaced me when i became port director and received an award for contribution from the Sub Commission on departure. Whether the current lbc program and related contracting processes have had the effect of reducing and reversing discrimination against black Indigenous People of color and womenowned businesses will be informing our efforts and advance equity. These finding will be important to the city and the port as we advance equity results across our systems and programs. The ertf released a report and policy recommendations at its final meeting following months of stakeholder convenings. It was task force carmen chiu, jojose, president of the chamber of commerce rodney fong and the Labor Council rudy gonzalez. Considerable collaboration and hard work went into this effort and i appreciated having a policy seat as Department Head on the effort along with other city Department Heads with missions that touched the economy. This process had thorough and i will press i have stakeholder and engagement and the port wishes to extend our appreciation to accesser 2 and all members of the ertf who took on this very important work. They have 41 policy recommendations that focus on longterm recovery and providing businesses more opportunities and flexibilities to operate and succeed in the short and midterm mayor breed has announced the first steps to support San Franciscos recovery including moving forward on a permanent shared streets Spaces Program and building on the success of the program that has been so helpful in the covid19 pandemic and and waving certain taxes and fees for businesses that remain closed. This is the begin to go get the city moving towards economic recovery and meeting the policies and goals of the task force. The port stands ready to support mayor breed in this important rebuilding effort that shes already gotten started and these first steps will have very positive impact on port tenants and equity. The port reopening. As we continue to settle into the new phase of living with covid19, the port submitted updates peer health and safety plans to our city and our plans and strategies were 80 back to reassumed duties and our Maintenance Division and the 20 are committed to delays Disaster Service workforce our main tin group through the end of 2020. I want to congratulate our employees who take care ex taking care of one another with real commitment to the Health Orders and guidelines. Into hide street harder and to continue to remove that petroleum. They have federal port for this incident under National Contingency plans to the epa from the coast guard to the epa and they are continuing to Work Together under an incident command structure and i want to command them for collaboration and activity on this effort and im going to cuts details of the operation for those in the public and our tenants and commissioners who are interested in those details and petroleum condition along work nine and at this time the area has expanded to 600 shoreline the current containment includes two 300foot long rings and and contaminate under the bridge to prevent sheen from flowing into the outer lagoon. Into the outer lagoon jay 10 area into the inner regime. The work is to rain inner and outer boom configuration. Its using pads and boom and recoverable petroleum is removed from the water once or twice a week wednesdays depending on accumulation rates and as needed each weekend. Its used to reduce africa in between weekday cleanings and today over 140 cal owns of oil and 300 personnel hours on hands on and craft and office space professionals to this regulatory support and approve of our plans and to help us in our approach of Site Management and or over all Response Strategy and. They are tzk and hats include and we have a fully executed lease disposition and Development Agreement and ldda for the projects. Current staff is working to finalize the construction plans as well as with the puc and public works to finalize on site and off site utility plans and to allowable time extensions not for the control of tzk. They have evoked one of our agreement time extensions and called force because of the profound impact that covid19 is having on the Hospitality Industry locally and across the country and its extreme as we all know and Hotel Occupancy is currently at record lows and Construction Financing may not be available in 18 to 24 months, however, there is a bright line here. Despite the economic downturn tzk is remained committed to this project and will continue to monitor the market and keep this project moving forward. Port staff will Keep Commission in informed and were hopeful the project receives. And finally, id like toned my directors report by turning it over so my martin and the Waterfront Development and with staff and we felt we could have done did more in communicating with the process and first and foremost, development always on our waterfront and always draws a great deal of attention so the process can be complex or confusing to some and we really do need to have a shared understanding of our approach to Development Projects and where we are in this moment in time with the development proposals. First, the Port Commission and the port is absolutely committed to open and Transparent Development and we cannot develop our property or meet Port Commission mission without such a process and now to piers 30, 32 and 330. We have several failed developments at this site so the port staff work with Community Partners to develop a set of Community Values to perform the request for proposals and the development of a open competitive process for the sites. We did this of course with the commissions review approval and direction. We articulated Community Values and were put into that request for proposals and it yielded several responses proposals for the Port Commission consideration. The process that we set up front put the evaluation and review of the project proposals, which includes the project approach, Team Strength and capacity and all into the hands of an impartial and experienced panel. The panel was advisory to the Port Commission. Port staff served as referees of a fair and competitive process. Upon the commissioner selection of a proposal for negotiations, port staff will begin then working with the winner of that process to refine, actually develop a project plan to perfect the selected project proposals. In these negotiations the project proposal will naturally evolve to incorporate solutions to concerns raised to the parties and the public. The project that is to be developed will change from the proposal that we all saw as part of the competition and again, these solutions will be crafted and will be consistent with our fee objectives and Community Values that we screen for and had a competition for in that rfp. We had a similar approach to our solicitation for Development Partners at pier 70 and this was approach and solicitation and and well close thank you for allowing lengthy directors report. Please take it away, mike. Michael martin, real estate and development. Can i have my first slide. I think director forbes very well summarized this first slide. The basically, the process that we filed for request for proposals on those two recent transactions at piers 38 and 40 being one and 332 and 330 being the other followed the recommendations update and we brought these recommendations back for februar specific guidar the past year as we geared up and issued those rfps and our plan is to continue to do so including to continue to follow these steps including with the item on todays agenda regarding to building 49 down at crane cove park. I wanted to walk through these when we wept on the prior rfps and were hopefully going to go. First, well come to you and we are coming to you today for a hearing to initiate the Rfp Development process. That is a hearing that we had for each of those prior rfps prior to issuing those rfps as well and its an opportunity to port staff to come thinking about why a project at this location of the coined that were proposing t would be beneficial to the port and beneficial to the city at large. They give feedback and staff will go off and start with step two which is an engagement relevant to that site its to develop some values and priors that with would bake into the rfp document that we establish this Community Dialogue that were saying to proposers, here is what weve established what we value from a project here and what you should prioritize in your project proposal. After that engage. , we come back to the Port Commission and provide more details on how an rfp would be structure including a scoring structure and a scoring Panel Process and the Port Commission would hopefully give feedback and direct staff to develop draft and release the rfp. So, after that process is over, staff develops and releases the rfp. That will go out into the world and we hopefully get a number of responses as we did for the most recent two rfps and port staff would convene the scoring panel called for through the dialogue with the Port Commission and described in great detail in the rfp document. And in this point in time where director forbes describes it, were the referee. Reshmi were not engaging and were walking through the process to make sure that these proposals are presented back to you and the Port Commission and along with the scores from the qualified members of the scoring committee that have been selected both from city staff and public stakeholders with expertise in relative areas to the rfp so after that scoring panel is complete we come back with our report on the scoring and you are able to ask questions including firms that show and they are requested to make a selection and move forward and to say we reject these selections and were going to go forward in a different direction. That action has been taken for two projects very recently. One being pier 38 and 40 so that is a Selection Process weve been through and we wanted to highlight they get a good project so first step is to adopt an annex conclusive negotiate agreement and it will set fourth a set of milestones and schedule for doing all the things that are needed to get to anna provable project. Thats a movement in time that were negotiating a document that will show a roadmap that looks like the slide with much more detail in terms of specifically how much time that project will take to do these steps and what these steps look like from a staff perspective. Port staff with work to continue negotiations and refine the financial transaction of the project as well as the project description so hearing some of the comments weve heard from the community, are there ways we can evolve the project to start addressing those comments at this early stage . Then theres a point in time where we go back for tort of an i am process approval of first of all the Port Commission approving the non gaining term sheet to look at the negotiations and the transaction and the financials to make sure this is something we still want to our our way towards and then also going to the board of supervisors for their approval under the citys fiscal feasibility ordinance which requires them to look at a project and say it is feasible and worthy of the typ time and resources it would be to do time and review. When it gets done, were into the meat of the transaction negotiations, which has, as you can see here, many different threads. The basic financial transaction negotiations of those documents. Theres environmental review, either on the state level with ceqa or the federal level. Theres regulatory review with our usual set of regulators at army score of engineers and the bay conservation and development commission, state Lands Commission and state Historic Preservation office and those are all things that will have started the conversation at that initial phase of term sheet and project description but will now continue on with those partners to understand what is needed for this project to be approve able and throughout t. Well have Additional Community engagement so that we can do more touch points and see there our proposed solutions and impacts and make sense and they all of which has a goal of bringing a set of approvals documents together and at the bo ready for approval at the Port Commission and the other relevant city agency thats would have approval and in the board of processes for this and refining and the project youve seen from this point forward and part of this is also to orient ourselves on todays agenda which you can ask questions where that is going in terms of the Rfp Development process. So, that is my summary. Hopefully building off of what the executive director describes. Im happy to answer any questions if you have them here otherwise im happy to hand them back to you to continue the meeting. Thank you, mike. I really appreciate the process. Well open the phone lines and take Public Comment on the executive directors report for members of the public who are joining us on the phone. Jennica will be our operator and will provide instructions now for anyone who would like to provide Public Comment. Thank you, president brandon. At this time, we will open the queue for any anyone on the phone who would like on the executive report. Please style star 3 if you wish to make and others will wait on mute until their line is open. Comments will be limit today three minutes a person. The queue is now open. Please dial star 3 if you wish to make Public Comment. Thank you. Do we have anyone on the phone . Yes, president brandon, we have two callers on the line at the moment. Thank you. Please open the line for the first caller. Thank you. Opening the first line now. Caller hello, this is jay wallace. Hello commissioners. Tck broadway llc. I want to thank port staff for its excellent work, as always, on this project. Ricky and rebeca notwithstanding the difficulty they were facing. Theyve done a great job and moved the project along. I want to reiterate what the executive director said. We are fully committed to the project. We are doing what we should be doing. Financing possibilities are bleak at the moment as you know. That is not deterred us and were continuing to move forward owe. We expect that the markets may come back towards the end of next year and we rebound in the market if thats comes forward over the next few years and few months and hopefully not few years. We have one additional caller on the line. Please, open the line. Opening that line now. Caller commissioners, my name is francisco decosta. I was listening to you all very intently and when we have these Virtual Meetings it is pertinent the presentations shown on the green are clear to the presentation that is in blue, dark blue, couldnt be seen very clearly now its important that we, especially during this time of the pandemic, now i have to look at my tv screen to gather a very good idea of what is happening. So, one of the things i think that we can the public do not have a very clear idea is about the seawall. There was a lot of planning done and we can the public, need to get a very, very clear picture of the seawall. Now, the public should also had. There are no other callers on the line wishing to make public on the line. Commissioner gilman. Thank you for the mark and process and i had one question and s there will be others in the future. If we want to tweak or change the processes or staff would the opportunity be more globally to communicate that to you and staff or would that be on a casebycase basis. We talk about process case by case every time we put the rfps together we have long conversations some time about perfecting the process to get it just so because inclusion and equity fairness, transparency, fro dom from bias so important to the commission so we always talk deeply case by case. Theres nothing preventing us from having a policy based conversation about what we always do. If you wanted to schedule Something Like that we would be amenable to talk at a policy level or case by case basis as we do already. Thank you so much and thank you for the report. That concludes my questions. Its good directors report and its seawall lot 337 and essentially the process is you and mark martin does give the public a better selling there are continued avenues and openness to continue discussion and for the city of San Francisco in whatever we do end up how this rfp and ena eventually ends up. So i think we are do try to be transparent or why it was a key message today. About how we go about doing our business. So, i think thats another point that i just wanted to reiterate in terms of the takeaway that i took from the discussion and i think if theres any changes in the process i think that take those and and the last time it was a little bit maybe if there was more the information was they want to take it in stride and work on it and there are opportunities to go forward on that. I want to thank you for the update on teatro zonni and i appreciate that jay was on the phone giving us an update and i do hope that financing will be more favorable. I was a little concerned its a great project for the waterfront and city of San Francisco and for the whole arena of having more cultural and Arts Entertainment in the city and for the artists that they also have a place to perform and and i think it would be an important cultural addition. I just go back moved off of the property port and americas cup and he was very involved with that and a lot of times has passed and is we had an unexpected situation occur with the covid situation and it has put it back further. I hope that we dont see this derail for too long because i think its an important contribution to the ports, the waterfront and the city that this project gets done. Thank you. Thats all my comments. Thank you. Elaine, thank you so much. I really appreciate the update and the economic recovery and thank you for being a part of the task forced to bring us back after covid. Weve been really busy. I want to followup on the request with the seawall and the sediment and we do need to see what is going on more often so i think that we should have informational items, at least quarterly because its such a huge process and also if theres someway we can get a property of the slides or email him a copy of the slides that we show for the process so the rfp process which were great for providing clarity on where we are within that and you may have said this but you may have missed it but regarding how long is the extension and i understand were in covid and financing is hard but what does that really mean . Im going to ask mike martin to step in for me or someone from the Development Team because theyll have the details close at hand. Its rebeca and i can step in. So the lbda term is one year so we find it about a month ago and they can pay for attention alex tensions. The letter they sent is stating this one year term should not start yet because of the event and a pandemic and forced and so we need the respond to that ledder and state more clear about what is the time period the pandemic may be effecting continuing and were going to have the checking in on that and so its a little bit of a dance and a discussion about how long the event will occur and the typical term is one year to get procedure financing order anproo turnover the property until theyll ready to get going in terms of the construction. Were happy to keep providing updates and were monitoring sort of the broker reports on homes and looking at how many landings are coming no sfo so were monitoring this and happy to return as the how long this force event is likely to effect the market. So the one year will start when we come up with a date. It started in september. But theyve asked for us to delay it because of the forced measure event of the pandemic. So now we need to respond back to them in order to state, ok, well well extend it for i dont know what that answer is yet, three to six months and well check in again and see whether or not theres still an absolute freeze on financing. Ok. So i guess does that help . Yes it does. My request would be that what we make that decision and when we understand what the schedule or the amount moving forward that you give us an update. Surely. Great. Thank you. Next item, please. Clerk that would be item 9b, the commissioners report. Commissioner report. Im looking to report this time. Thank you. So we can go to the next item. That would be item number 10 the content calender and theres one item, 10a, a 60 day extension of one memorandum of understanding with the San Francisco office of economic and Workforce Development for the use of pier 29 as a Central Location to accept deliveries of personal protective equipment and subsequent distribution to San Francisco non profits and two the deferral of rent for such use as it supports the covid19 crisis. This is resolution 2046. Thank you. Can i have a motion. So moved. Second. Lets open it up for Public Comment.

Jennica will be our operator and will provide instructions now for anyone on the phone who would like to provide Public Comment. Thank you, president brandon.

Informational presentation on a competitive solicitation strategy of two historic structures, the nice building and in the pier 70 area generally along illinois between 18th and 19th streets. Good afternoon, commissioners, rebeca from real estate and development. I am here presenting on behalf of the team. Jamie hurley is actually the project manager for this rfp and was unable to be here today. I also want to acknowledge erika peterson, david beaupray, mike mark tin, dianne and. Its a discussion how to get investments into the two buildings that flank the beach at the park which is very fun to say. The mcneese building and building 49. I want to let you know about the plan tag is done around these buildings and then discuss an rf strategy and this is just informational and it feels apartment with the introduction and discussions that elaine and mike gave about rfps so i feel like im hitting the ground running with this presentation because you are all really thinking about this right now. Next slide, please. The two buildings that were discussing today from left to right, building 49 is on the left and it is a singlestorey building. You will see when i show the Square Footages and it looks so large and it has fewer on the right and it has both have been untentative and are in various conditions. It was important for me to show this aerial of the park to show how their inner face with the park is a huge asset to the building and how they can serve what weve already delivered with that major investment of that wonderful park. A little bit more detail. Building 49 is 8,000 square feet and they will include a public rest room to replacement current temporary restrooms that are on site. The building contracts is that were looking at now does not include a seismic upgrade. Theyre high occupancy uses with retail or cafes where you have members of the public coming in and out and they would really not be possible for people to go inside the building with that low occupancy. Other uses can go in though without that seismic upgrade. Its also listed on historic register until Historic Places so its already a listed rye source. Building 49 and they have not improvements for quite a long time and its been unoccupied for many years. Its deteriorating. As part of the pier 70 trust realignment and swap that occurred with the brookfield project, it was removed from the public trust as part of that trust exchange so the if it came into invest it would have to get it listed which we believe it could be listed which would then unlock tax credit for the building. Next slide, please. Just to talk a little bit about the big context of what sort of planning has gone on and what sorts of public expectations have started having for these buildings the major planning goes back to 2010 when we did the pier 740 master plan which eventually led to historic core, it resulted in those buildings being rehabilitated and rfp that resulted in brookfield taking over the waterfront site as our partner on that location and the next slide, built on to that process in 2013. Our planning and Environment Group developed a crane cove park plan. You can see here its very similar to what ultimately has been delivered on site which is very exciting. And the kneass building was not addressed with use it might serve. Building 49 was. Its in the center of the slide. We opened it would be used for water recreation and bicycle parking on site so were not sure if we need additional as well as a site and next slide. Please. There are eight goals that apply to the southern waterfront and weve pulled out throw in particular that we think really speaks to what might go i go ine buildings. Number two listed in the staff report has to do withens hancements water recreation and enhancement to the blue green way and doing something that enhances sort of the public experience and the various public locations they can visit and the southern waterfront and number throw was implementing pier 70 projects which includes the deliver row of parks and other public realm improvements that the public can enjoy and number eight was relating to Community Partnerships and Community Benefits for the southern waterfront and delivering more Community Benefits. Next slide, please. They set out the acceptable uses for each of the facilities. You can see here that building 49 was anticipated to have water recreational boating, to relate to the parks and open space to have accessory and other sorts of short interim uses and maritime industry, retail, general office, Community Facilities as well as interim uses. Thats the whole framework of what we have to work with in terms of previous Planning Efforts and our current draft waterfront plans. A successful rfp will support our Strategic Plan. Were evolving the waterfront anand engaging working with our Community Members to speak to their needs and we need to have projects that are equitable and accessible and attractive to a very Diverse Group of people who live, work, use, or visit our recreational assets. We need money to bring up with they can be used up and creating stability in the sport of our financial side and maintaining the harbor funds and ourselves as an organization. Next slide, please. So, were proposing to do an rfp on these sites. In order to do water recreation retail and food and beverage we need an rfp in order to do the competitive process required for retail leasing. Were proposing that we use the process thats in the waterfront plan. You may recall the general process is informational at at Port Commission to discuss the particular big values for this area and what are Community Values and minimum qualifications and what not that we want to see if an rfp and we go out to the community that those with them and come back to the Port Commission. So were proposing to use that same process which ill note in a subsequent slide in a little bit more detail. We do a process respond propose to one or both buildings and so both of the buildings and this is the just primarily theyre close to one another and we can do a and we think theres an opportunity that we may be able to get one tenant for both buildings and were very opening to having different tenants in the building and one is in a Poor Condition and it would require a lot of capital to bring it up to the useable condition. The other would needles capital potentially. Theres an opportunity to meet potential tenants in both of those categories. In terms of the minimum goals, what we are stating and were going to add on to that as we go through the process with you and the community, we think at the very least we need at least one food and beverage location. It could be very casual and want to serve the needs of park goers for sure. We also need to have one personal watercraft rental storage and sales facility and some sort of ann an aquatic cen. We want to see a Community Development or communityserving youth. A tenant that will provide a lot of co benefits for being on the park. Eyes on the park and bringing members of the community and into the facility and community the elsewhere and we this is the minimum goals of from the community and what other goals there should be. And the co benefits economic benefits so the desired economic and theyre seeking through this rfp process is First Investment in these buildings and the preliminary cost estimates of how much it would cost to rehab both of these buildings is 10 to 15 million and depending on the uses. Theres quite a range because theres the opportunity to add a seismic retro fit to building 49 which is on this slide and if one did that that would cost more money but would result in more occupancy in the building which you could dense fie uses inside of the building. To give you a little bit of perspective thats 500 to 700 per building square foot and its expensive and kneass is more of building 49 in terms of per square foot cost. The second key benefit wed like is a tenant who will be responsible for maintaining watch over the Public Restrooms in building 49 delivered by our engineering group. This is a really port arent maintenance responsibility that we think having tenant on site to do this would be a real benefit for us and would really help in operations of the park and the third goal is through participation at revenues or upside revenues, rental payments to the harbor fund. To pay for the use of those sites. So i talked earlier about what the draft waterfront plan anticipates in terms of an rfp process and what we did for the pier 48, 40 and 33 and 330. They were to come to the Port Commission with the beginning outlines of the rfp. We then went to the southern Advisory Committee and at that time the swag in order to directly ask those groups to advise on the Community Values and diversity equity and inclusion goals for the rfps, we want an additional step for these two buildings because they are situated in this very public location. This great new park weve just delivered and its getting a lot of use. So were also proposing to outreach to youth oriented groups, elder groups, other at risk populations and communityserving organizations who may wish to occupy the kneass building to enhance our understooding of what we can deliver through this rfp that would be welcome and valued by the community. Next slide, please. So thats the end of the presentation. Our anticipated schedule, if you all direct, is to take this sort of a presentation, focus on the subarea goals and trying to get input on Community Values for the two buildings. Two are southern Advisory Committee and we identify other groups so we can interface with virtually to also introduce them to the site and get their input in terms of Community Values. Were really excited to work on these buildings. Theyre small in comparison to the other rfps weve done but we think they can deliver that sort of other parts of the crane cove experience that people are now getting to enjoy as a park is open. Having those buildings provide more services we think will enhance the crane cove experience. I welcome your thoughts and questions and inputs. Thank you, rebeca. We will now open it to Public Comment. Jennica will be our operator and provide instructions now for anyone on the phone who would like to provide Public Comment. Thank you, president brandon. We will open the queue for anyone on the phone who would like to make Public Comment on item 11a. Please dial star 3 if you wish to make Public Comment. The system will let you know when your line is open. Others will wait on mute until their line is open. Comments will be limited to three minutes per person. The queue is now open. Please dial star 3 if you wish to make Public Comments. Thank you, jennica. Do we have anyone on the phone. At this time, there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make Public Comment on this item. Thank you. Seeing no callers on the phone, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner gilman. Thank you, ra baek and everyone for the presentation and the thorough staff report. Im really eager to see this process moving forward. I had the pleasure about a week ago to tour the park with randy and david duepray and it was a sight to be seen. It was incredible. Im so impressed with this project and how much it has to over. The South East End of our waterfront inside highly recommended part of the process for bidders to get maybe a more diverse pool of applicants to activate these buildings in the neighborhood its that we offer a site tour with davids commentary about the history of the parks about how intentional we were on design from ship build to the history of the waterfront and also maybe include the promotional videos that i saw featuring supervisor walton on president brandon and mayor breed. I think those bring a richness to the experience that could be beneficial for anyone bidding on the project and to make sure we can have the usual suspect thats can activate these buildings so i wanted to offer those few thoughts and i look forward to you bringing back a more polished set, a recommendation after the Community Process for the rfp and im excited to get these buildings activated. Thank you. Thank you for the reports. I think it was well positioned and i think the sensitivities of the project have been outlined and i echo commissioner gilmans conversation. I will go next week and i was looking forward and would suggest that a tour of the building is much as you can see them from the outside be included and i think that it sounds like i should ask for david buepray was my tour guide. I look forward to seeing how it herbs witmeshes with the neighb. In addition to the aquatics and the retail, do we see any of the Building Space used for office at all . I know what you want to see, but what else could we see putting in these buildings and since one of the buildings doesnt have a lot of public trust restrictions, so if you could comment a little bit more on that. Definitely, thank you, commissioner. We anticipate there will likely need to be at least some ancillary office use. The kneass building that is already built out, just to make the project financially feasible we think we will need the kick of those revenues in order to get that building to cross the feasibility threshold. So we do anticipate that that one would have some office space but were definitely open to any financial receivable projects that needs that acceptable use table that i showed. I also want to mention in addition to retail and aquatics were looking for a communityserving entity to take over we anticipate parts of the kneass building or it could be a greater part of building 49 to kind of have members of the public come and use the building and then have that kind of spill over effect into using the park. I actually have not seen the interior of these building and i dont know what shape they are to be able to see them. It looked like they have high ceilings and so there could be some interesting uses if you think about it and given that were all sensitive about internal space and how much air and ventilation and open space areas give the environment that were living in today it could be some creativity applied to whoever looks at these buildings in terms of the uses of the buildings. In addition to what you are looking for. I dont know if im correct assuming they have high ceilings. Building 49 has high ceilings and the kneass building is twostoreys and i wouldnt say theyre particularly high. They can definitely have the ventilation through i guess terrier air flow. There is no restriction. They overlook the park, correct . Is there going to be any restrictions if they want to open up the walls to have bigger windows or open doors into the park space . Go ahead question. I was just thinking that when we talked about ventilation. Ill be sure to consult with mark and others to make sure this secretary standards are met on the buildings and how many openings they could create if there are no openings there now. I hope that in this case, that would be an amenity to whoever is in the building to have a view on the park and from the use that uche given off they have calls closed so if you want to know, you can open up some of the walls there and both for light, ventilation and as well as view. I think you should check that out before you set up the rfp so whoever sets it out, knows that information in advance if there are any restrictions if there is one is Historic Preservations and one is already listed and the other could be listed. Ok. So rebeca. Which called we have committed to doing designs that are consistent with secretary standards and the kneass building has roll up doors and are on east face of the building and either roll up or barn like doors that could be redesigned to engage with the park in a more active way. That would be a very attractive part of the building if they are able to leap right out into the park area its right when the spark in its final phase which is great and weve been working forward to a long time and hopefully whatever i can say is the building in the coming weeks. Great. This is the phenomenal job its just so beautiful he is so knowledgeable and informative about all the history at the park and it is just a beautiful park so thank you involved to the creation and then this solicitation is exciting. I think we have covered most of the points for i for inclusion. Im happy were going out on a listening tour to and i hope we put an emphasis on communityserving uses. Because its has to be anna traction for families to bring tears to Community Groups and for residents from dogpatch, bayview, the entire city and to make it a draw because its such a beautiful destination so, i hope whatever were looking for is really focusing on serving those Community Needs in the park. So thank you general i ca gener. Can you give us a brief presentation of your timeline . Thank you for the comment and the question. I agree going to the park is really making me so proud to work at the port. I bet a lot people felt like that. We wanted on the southern advisory agenda in november. Were working with mark to see whether or not we can catch them in november. And if were able to we would come back to you in november if its a little bit late we would have to go to the december meeting so the issuance so were opening we can issue this calender year is it regardless of whether or not we hit the november or december Commission Meeting and so we issue the rfp and it goes through couple months review period before we bring a selection to you all so well be clear on the next staff report what were proposing in terms of the Selection Process and very interested in speaking with you more if there are things we should write now with this rfp or different terms we should take at this point to make sure that process is really smooth. I was told there was a meeting on october 21st. With all the other groups that you are reaching out to, do you think you are going to be able to do that by december . We hope so. Were really focused on talking about the Community Values and were hoping we can have that targeted conversation and bring back along in terms of issuesance of the rfp and the site tour is a wonderful idea for introducing a respondents to the building. So it will be out for maybe two months typically we leave the rfps out for six, eight, 10 weeks. Ok. Im just hoping that we can get the most Community Input that we can prior to coming back to us with a solicitation propose a im hoping that the Advisory Committee we also meet with these other organizations and get as much input as possible so that when we do print out the rfp everyone is on the same team. Good point and good advice. Hopefully this will go out early to mid next year. We will take our time and make sure we do all that work. Ok. Thank you. Next item, please. Clerk item 12a request approval of the o o o o o o o oo Foreign Trade zone act providing incentives to u. S. Firms to keep jogs and economic activity, domestic here in the United States. A Foreign Trade zone or ftz, is a designated area that is considered to be outside of u. S. Commerce allowing for some benefits and cost savings around duties and tariffs for the private entities that get activation. Program is administered through the Foreign Trade zone board by grantees like the port of San Francisco. The ftz board and u. S. Customs are responsible for compliance and oversight of Foreign Trade zone operations which pa laws the grantees like the port to offer this public utility to all those that have been vet and approved by those two government agencies. Next slide, please. The port of San Francisco ha a long history of participation in the Foreign Trade zone program. The port was given grantee status as Foreign Trade zone number 3 in 1948 when it was the third essential tee to enter the program we only came after new york and new orleans. The Port Operations originated on port property within our very own historic finger pierce. Before it a apartment requestedd adapted to the changing times and it created when is known as the alternative site framework which allows for private companies to activate their own ftz sub zones on their own properties through the local grantee if theyre within the Grantee Service area. The port service area includes San Francisco and six additional bay area counties. The port currently has six ftz operators all of which are in one of the surrounding counties and thats one of the interesting pieces of the program is we have not six active Foreign Trade zones under the Foreign Trade zone number 3 but none of them are actually in San Francisco. Each operator pays the port an annual fee to cover the ports administrative costs. This fee is really meant to just cover administrative work done by the port as grantee and this public utility is accessible to all types of businesses. The port has no oversight responsibility on the actual Foreign Trade zone operations and is asked to treat it as a public utility. I would like to bring attention to the picture on this slide biff move forward. Which is an interesting glimpse of the past and present day. I have to give a photo credit to San Francisco pd marine unit who took this picture of pier 45 shed d from the water for me last week. For those who condition se canns a finger pier from the water and from the crop in large letters, its stated letters that state Foreign Trade zone number three and its an interesting piece of the history of Foreign Trade zone in San Francisco and if that with the live Foreign Trade zone and that was to participate in the Foreign Trade zone operations so nice piece of history on the water at one of our piers. Next slide, please. The applicant for Foreign Trade zone activate is dhl global 40. Which one of the words Largest Global companies with 380,000 employees across 220 countries. Interesting through this process, finding out that dhl founded in San Francisco in 1969. Dh will had a plied through the Foreign Trade zone number three grantee status to activate a brings bain warehouse location, brisbane, california, which is within our service area and they are very experienced Foreign Trade zone operator as an organization and they are 19 active Foreign Trade zone locations across the United States and it made the application process which started back in april very smooth from their end because theyre so experienced. And both the Foreign Trade zone board and u. S. Customs have approved for activation which is pending being approved by the Port Commission. Next slide, please. In closing the ports Foreign Trade zone is within the scope of the port Strategic Plan by sustained Economic Vitality in the region providing a public utility that supports local industry. Dhl brisbane location is within the port service area and they have received approval from the two bodies of oversight. Staff recommends approving the operation with the dhl allowing them to activate their facility as a Foreign Trade zone. Next slide. That concludes my presentation and im available for any questions.

This is an amendment to the redevelopment plan to give an overview of the proposed project and that would allow up to 170,000 of commercial and industrial [indiscernible] on the property. They are excited to come and give a preview. I will turn it over to nicky who will be presenting on the item. Thank you very much, director. Good afternoon. As was mentioned, my name is nicky henry, assistant Development Specialist with the team. There is a workshop on the proposed amendments to the mixeduse Life Sciences facility on parcel 7 of block 43 of mission bay, including approval of a basic schematic and concept design. Next slide. Im sorry, if you could give me a second. Okay. I look like im asleep, but im not. We could have caught you yawning. [laughte [laughter]. As you know, mission bay has been over 20 years in the making, and standard the lease square suite for commercial development has been built leaving no additional square feet available for new development. Today well be going over the history of the parcel and the proposed project i think were getting a jump on the slides here. Today well be going over the history of the parcel and the proposed project, following a review of the development. We will then talk about the Public Benefits accompanying the project and well end with a summary of the proposed actions necessary to facilitate the proje project. Are, the largest Property Owner in mission bay who specializes in serving the life science industry is proposing additional project in the area. The proposed project is approximately 170,000 leasable square feet on parcel 7 of block 43. Today is a workshop and we plan coming back in front of you in november with the following actions to facilitate the project, including an amendment to the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan which amendments the allowable square feet, a Development Agreement between o. C. I. And the developer and which will redefine the obligations of the project. Approval of a basic concept and Schematic Design for bcsd for the design base. The proposed projects on parcel 7 of block 43, as shown, is located on owen street, bound by a future active recreation Public Open Space to be designed to the north, a street, a private street to the south, and the raised i282 freeway. The parcel was acquired by a. R. E. In 2004. A. R. E. Submitted a permit for a building approved by the agency in 2008. The current allowable height is 39 feet. A. R. E. Chose not to move forward with the project and the parcel is being used as a temporary Service Parking lot. As mentioned earlier, the project is nearly built out and well served by neighborhood amenities. A. R. E. Is now proposing a sevenstorey, 100foot high mixeduse building with an allowable penthouse. The proposed project consists of the research and laboratory space, conference space, and ground floor retail space. There are a number of Public Benefits, including financial contributions, which i will go over in more detail later in the presentation. I will now introduce the project sponsor, tracy nemit, to present more details on the proposed projects. Thank you. Its a pleasure to be in front of you today. I have been in front of your Commission Many times since the beginning of mission bay. We are providing here an opportunity to bring new development to a site that has been long been unused and will create a very nice entry point to mission bay as well as capping the project commercial side of the project and enhancing what we have jointly all created, which is a real life science district in the city and county of San Francisco. We are happy to bring this to you because the the Life Science Department is strong. We work in Great Partnership with all of our tenants, many of whom are working on covidrelated therapies, vaccines, testing. So it is very much of the moment to think about enhancing life science facilities for these companies to do their research. So the site is unique in that as was pointed out its right next to the freeway, and also next to the future park which is next to the top of the slide, it is shaped by those two components. Its also shaped by owen street, which has a setback required to allow for a very large storm and sewer line that runs from downtown San Francisco south bound to the southeast treatment plan. So the site is an oddshaped pie. Therefore, we have challenged ourselves to create enough interest on the ground floor by providing a good lobby as well as retail space to front a plaza that fronts the street. The back of the house uses take up a lot of the floor. You see the gray area. Life sciences require very large loading spaces as well as support spaces for all of the Laboratory Functions that are needed. Then in the gold color is a concept that we have to bring some meeting spaces, not so much big conferencing, but some gathering spaces for the Life Sciences community because that is something that is needed. We have with us today the architect for the project. This is a local womanowned business. Lisa wamoto and craig scott are partners. Lisa was to be here today, but unfortunately she isnt here, so craig is going to be here. Craig, if you are able to join us, perhaps you could describe the Architecture Design of the project. Sure. Thank you, theresa. With this irregularly shaped trapezoidal site, it has unique conditions on each of the four sides. So were responding to that with the design, in particular the sides that face owen street and the freeway are all built on this side that weve developed. The first initial idea is to break down the massing and then to create a kind of continuous wrapper of the fins and the reveal that have a subtly undulating pattern. This is a view looking south on owen street with an open space to the right. If you go to the right there is a view shifted towards the caltrain. This shows the two, that threestorey spaces. These move back and forth along the stacked volumes. If we go to the next slide, from the 280 approach heading north into San Francisco, you can see this kind of inflection on the facade that gives the further depth and animates that facade facing the freeway direction. Then we see the opposite side facing east. This is a view looking west on Nelson Rising as youre approaching the intersection with owen street and the front of the building. Its facing open space, which if we go to the next slide we zoom a bit closer and here we can see in that setback zone that theresa described which is indicated by the underground sewer line, weve been working with a design firm to develop this open space as a public plaza where the cafe can spill out, there is a beautiful landscaping feature and it is articulated by a recessed portal. So this is a summary, facts and figures on the building again. So in floors, 109 feet. 15foot ground floor and then the six upper floors are above that 15 foot 6 due to the requirement. So this is a summary of the facts and the figures of the building, 109 feet, 16foot ground floor, and then the six upper floors are 15 foot 6 due to the requirements of lab space of minimum floortofloor height needed. Next slide. So we worked closely with the community and stakeholder groups. As is condition of the view north to the skyline, and then the next slide shows in this light red or pinkish tone that in title projects and actually the ones on the far left are beyond entitled. Theyre either nearing completion or far along construction, will go from left to right in terms of what that represents. The new dorm of the fcca is just getting completed. These three in the background are all in the central zone of plan in part of that set of developments. The next one over to the right from the flower mart, which is the kilroy development is on the east. To the right of that, the tallest is the creamery. So our project were talking to today is just beneath that. So it might be helpful to click back one and forward now that were situated. In this coppery color, its the 14 and 15 project that were talking about today, just below the creamery taller buildings behind it. With that, im finished with my portion. Nicky. Yes, thank you. This slide shows the impact required in order to build the project. These are in addition to the existing Community District zones. The first section shows the onetime funds that would flow through. It is acknowledged that the current rate would allow for Research Space and proposed a higher rate of payment for the office space. In total, the onetime fees total approximately 12. 2 million. The bottom portion of this slide shows that the extra maintenance meant to offset the usage by the guests. It is to be paid annually through the project. Have been working with the city directly on an operational endowment project. The project is still being finalized and there will be a contribution. The school is estimated to be complete in 2025. The project will comply with the south opa project in diversity and economic development. Airy is currently exceeding the participation goals at 66 for professional services, including 40 San Franciscobased s. B. E. S, 40 minority womenowned business, 3 p. M. Owned firms. A. R. E. Has agreed to provide those unless otherwise stipulated excluded from the program. A. R. E. Is committed to working closely with o. C. I. , including local hire and permanent jobs in the program administered by the office of economic and Workforce Development. A. R. E. First pursued a recommendation in 2018 for a taller project at 183 feet high. The c. A. C. Had concerns over the proposed height and requested a. R. E. Request an additional hearing. There was a request to return to the c. A. C. On july 9, 2020, with a proposed height of 120 feet. The c. A. C. Voted unanimously in favor of the proposed project and associated Plan Document amendments. As mentioned earlier, this item will be coming before you in november with the following actions. The commission would be required to make environmental findings pursuant to the air quality act, and to increase the Square Footage of the project. An amendment to the Mission Bay South honor participation agreement defining the augmented child care fee and open space financial contribution, also an amendment to the mission base design for developments to increase the height on the parcel from 39 feet to 109 feet, along with an increase in the controls and other amendments to the proposed projects. Lastly, approving the proposed bcsd for the project. If the project is approved in november, it will go before the Planning Commission or supervisors and Oversight Board as well as the department of california finance. This concludes our presentation and we can answer any questions you may have. Also on the line and available for questions is mark sluskin, george bridges, and laura shifly, and tracy amends, and jay powell. Madam secretary, do weve anybody from the public wishing to speak to this item . Clerk at this time members from the public who wish to make a Public Comment should call 4156550001, enter access code 1464367015, then press pound and pound again. If you are listening to us by phone, press star 3. If you would like to provide a comment, the operator will let us know if there is anyone on the line. Well let the public have a few moments to call in. Operator madam secretary, there are no callers on the line. Clerk mr. Chair, at this time there are no members on the phone wishing to comment. Thank you. Hearing no public on the phone, ill close Public Comment. Ill turn to my colleagues for any questions or comments they may have. No questions. Just completely in awe as i went through your material. Your team, i commend you and it just brought tears when ive been dealing with and thinking about all of the recovery thats needed, this presents so much hope. Just for a brighter future. I am just pleased with all the thought that went into it. Thank you. I did have a couple of questions. The first couple of questions are regarding the fees. If theres trouble hearing me, let me know. On the child care fee, for instance, and jobs, housing, linkage fee maybe im misreading this, but are those two onetime fees . Yes, they are both onetime fees. The job housing fee, the impact fee said it right in the planning code, and then with the child care fee areas agreed to expand that to pay the office rate because the research and Laboratory Rate is a much lower rate. Yes, i got that. I commend a. R. E. In offering that. I guess my question is because i just dont understand if how are the moneys received this one time and how are they implemented . How did it go 351,900, how is that utilized for child care in a project like this . It goes into helping fund the city it goes into a city pool which i dont think we have testified yet whether they can flow back into mission bay or the city pool. I think the thought is we want them to flow into mission bay and fund further child care facilities in mission bay, custom will be proposed in future housing sites. I would say unless there is no need for Child Care Services in mission bay, that we would want it to be project specific, which raises another question in my mind. Ive just lost track in mission bay. I think there are possibly five Child Care Service programs in mission bay. Do i have that correct . I cant remember off the top of my head, but there is one under construction at the uber site and one under Mission Bay South block, which is an Affordable Housing project, one in the north at ridge sorrow Housing Projects. There are a few inhouse family care within the mercy Housing Project at block 13 east. [indiscernible] and of course the ucsf one which is a rather large one, which is between 100 and 200 spaces. [indiscernible] thats fantastic. Just as a commentary, i remember when i started on the commission now seven or eight years ago, mission bay was representative as a place where no one really expected a lot of kids, so they got that one wrong. So i do have a related question on the job housing theme. Does that one also go to the city for Workforce Developments . The jobs housing fee goes into the pool thats administer administered by the city to help with Affordable Housing. The jobs housing were going to keep in mission bay. Thats even better. Thank you. Then i got a question about reference to neighbors serving retail. Do we have a sense of what that might be . Commissioner, on the project its a fairly small chunk, about 2,500 square feet. We think it would be some sort of a cafe or food service. Along owen street we have implemented four cafes or Food Services in our projects from starting on 16th street north to this site and they are very well utilized in great part because there is a keizer permanent clinic in the middle of that block and a ucsf orthopedic clinic that has a lot of patients coming and going. There is quite a demand by people for eating establishments, staff dining as well. My next question is that i would recommend the program be amended to include these types of programs in the future, but my big question is just from a dollar value of the project, can you tell me what the anticipated budget for the construction proje project . So the construction of the project, the current shell is in 400 a square foot and laboratories tend to be at least 400 a square foot. Okay. Great. Those are my questions. Thank you. Thank you, vicechair. I just want to say that this is really exciting that this is happening. I know that lot well. We had a lot of discussion it over the years. Given the fact that we are living in a world where there are pandemics, one that has completely uprooted our lives, that we need more of this because more of this is going to happen because this is the next step. If we can find the vaccine or the cure for covid because it is what it is. In regards to the architecture, im usually a stickler for the design designs, its actually quite nice and it looks airy, which flows with the fact that theres a lot of low buildings there. So it doesnt seem overly huge. So i just want to commend you all for putting that together. This is very exciting. When do we are we looking at completion . Well, we are hoping to complete our entitlements here. I think march is the time frame because your actions and then it flows to the Planning Commission and it goes to the board of supervisors and all that. I believe march is that time. In the meantime were working on the design documents. Hopefully around that time we would submit for a Building Permit which takes six, nine months to get a Building Permit. So were probably and then the construction is about two years away. So were almost three years away from getting a building, im afraid. Well, this is an essential service because we need to find cures and vaccines for some of this work. If you need folks to testify, i appreciate it. This is great. Thanks to the staff for all the diligent work that you always do. Its just a workshop, so were not voting on this item. Thank you for coming and presenting. Well close this.

Clerk the next order of business is item 9, commissioners questions and matters. Mr. Chair. Thank you, madam secretary. Are there any questions or matters that the commissioners want to bring up at this time . Seeing none, hearing none im sorry, i was referring to commissioner scott. I would like to raise not a question, but perhaps the executive director to explore the program to reach improvement work. I dont know how many more projects we have that would call for tenant improvement work, but i do think its an easy or easier access to opportunities for our Small Businesses if we can include it in the Small Business program. Do you want to respond . No, well take it under advisement back to the commission. Yes. Can i ask, mara, is that referring to the maintenance of the facility, is that what youre suggesting . When we have buildings, Office Buildings or any development that may have some tenants, the tenant improvement is simply the buildout of the space so that, for instance, theres a park tower where facebook went in, in trans bay, then our program would have been applicable to facebooks interior construction of tenant improvements. Right. All right. Madam secretary, please call the next item. The next order of business is item 10, closed session. There are no closed session items.

[ ] i would say i am a multidimensional artist. I came out of painting, but have also really enjoyed tactile properties of artwork and tile work. I always have an interest in public art. I really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world. You shouldnt just be something in museums. I love that people can just go there, and it is there for everyone. Public art is art with a job to do. It is a place where the architecture meets the public. Where the artist takes the meaning of the site, and gives a voice to its. We commission culture, murals, mosaics, black pieces, cut to mental, different types of material. It is not just downtown, or the big sculptures you see, we are in the neighborhood. Those are some of the most beloved kinds of projects that really give our libraries and Recreation Centers a sense of uniqueness, and being specific to that neighborhood. Colette test on a number of those projects for its. One of my favorites is the oceanview library, as well as several parks, and the steps. Mosaics are created with tile that is either broken or cut in some way, and rearranged to make a pattern. You need to use a tool, nippers, as they are called, to actually shape the tiles of it so you can get them to fit incorrectly. I glued them to mash, and then they are taken, now usually installed by someone who is not to me, and they put cement on the wall, and they pick up the mash with the tiles attached to it, and they stick it to the wall, and then they groped it afterwards. [ ] we had never really seen artwork done on a stairway of the kinds that we were thinking of because our idea was very just barely pictorial, and to have a picture broken up like that, we were not sure if it would visually work. So we just took paper that size and drew what our idea was, and cut it into strips, and took it down there and taped it to the steps, and stepped back and looked around, and walked up and down and figured out how it would really work visually. [ ] my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful. And also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium, and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its, and i work with the theme of water a lot, with wind, with clouds, just because i like movements and lightness, so i liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. So one side is a dragon kite, and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [ ] there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. During the time that we were working on it, my son was a disaffected, unhappy high school student. There was a day where i was on the way to take them to school, and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school, i turned around and said, how about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. It is a little bird. The relationship with a work of art is something that develops over time, and if you have memories connected with a place from when you are a child, and you come back and you see it again with the eyes of an adult, it is a different thing, and is just part of what makes the city an exciting place.
