Relating, connecting those bayview Hunters Point enterprises and teaming them with experienced mentors. For phase 1, the developer is in compliance with the phase 1 cap or skraubgz Assistance Program. Butler enterprises administers the Technical Assistance and Financial Assistance program. The assurety Ty Development program has been waived by the contractor. Administers their mentor ship program. For phase 2, the developer is in compliance with the Construction Assistance Program. Phase 2, unlike phase 1, sets a spending requirement. The developer is required to spend 250,000 dollars a year for a total of 10 years for 2. 5 Million Dollars total. To date, in the 2 years that the developer has been active on phase 2, they have spent 265,000 dollars which provides a short fall of 235,000 dollars. However, the phase 2 d da expressly addresses this as a potential and says that any short fall that should occur at the end of the 10 year term should be paid to either the Community Benefits fund or the developer will continue to administer the Construction Assistance Program beyond that 10 year program until all the funds have been used. In addition, the Construction Assistance Program has, for phase 2, requires the developer make a 250,000 dollars contribution towards assurety bond and Credit Support Program which the developer has made. And similarly to phase 1, Butler Enterprises administers the Technical Assistance and contractor workshop. The phase 1 Community Benefits agreement requires that the developer contributes 275,000 dollars a year to local ceos providing job training services. The developer is not in compliance with this provision to date. The developer is obligated to provide 2 million, 250,000 dollars into the program but has only provided approximately 1. 8 Million Dollars. In discussion between ocii staff and lynn that, they have skpet accelerated to expenditures over the next 2 years to become compliant by 2018. The Small Business Assistance Program is a phase 1 program which the goal of which is to assist bayview Hunters Point Small Businesses by creating a directory of local Small Businesses requiring contractors and consultants to use their best efforts to purchase no less than 20 poerpbts testify dollar value of their shipyard project related purchases from bayview hunters Small Businesses. And third, to host quarterly networking workshops for b v h p area Small Businesses. This phase 1 update, the developer is not in compliance with the Small Business program. The developer does currently publish a directory of local suppliers that is shared with contractors through the cap program but is not shared with all consultants. Additionally t developer does not include languages in their contracts with consultants and contractors regarding reaching the 20 percent goal for project purchases. And third, the developer host Networking Events for suppliers 2 times a year but not quarterly as required. Ocii staff and speaking with lanaire has developed a corrective action plan under which the developer will begin sharing the directory of b v h p Small Businesses with all applicable contractors and consultants. Additionally, ocii contract compliance staff will meet with lanaire urban to establish a strategy for implementing the Small Business program. And finally, the Networking Events will be increased to quarterly. The Community Builder program is similarly, a program that is both in phase 1 and 2 and theres additionally a requirement on ocii as a developer. And under phase 2. For the phase 1 program, 30 poefrpbts market rate lots must be developed and partnership with b v h p Community Builders. For the phase 2, a percentage of the market rate housing must be in compliant with the builders and the obligation on o c i u is to involve the Community Builders in at least 300 affordable units. In phase 1 t developer is in compliance with the Community Developer program with the Community Builder program. All phase 1 Community Builder lots have been assigned and Community Builder agreements have been executed for 4 blocks. This slide includes a list of the assigned Community Builders for each of the lots identified. And for the hill top, the parcels that are outlines in red are the designated Community Builder lots. So those include block 1, 52, 53, and 54. And on the hill side which is the second part of phase 1, the lots include parcel f, j, a, k, and o. Here are the schematic designs for 3 of the blocks which have been approved by the commission including block 52, block 53 and 4, and block 48 parcel o. Under phase 2, did developer is also in compliance to date. No market rate lots have been assigned to Community Builders in the first major phase of candlestick. The developer intends to satisfy this in future major phases of development. Regarding the ocii obligations, we have partnered with the San Francisco Housing Development as well as tabor knack elcommuniTy Development in the building which is a phase 2 project and the number associated with each of those is listed to the right. And heres the examples of the schematic designs of the projects under which ocii has partnered with Community Groups including Alice Griffith block 2 and block 4. Phases 1 and 2 include programs such as the International African marketplace to serve as a inaudible representing african die of a rah and its cultural view worldwide as well as surviving a purpose for commercial and retail businesses. In phase 1 t developer is in compliance under the phase 1 Community Benefits agreement. They provided interim i a m events which were held annually from 2006 through to 2009. In phase 2, the developer is also in did compliance and 2 locations have been selected for the permanent International African marketplace. 1 is an outdoor location in phorgt side park which is pargt of the First Major Development and phase 2, the second location is an indoor location inside of candlestick retail using an inside community space. The Community Facility space is a phase 2 program which requires the developer make available 65. 2,000 feet to the project serving uses including the International African marketplace, Library Reading room, and a room for the candlestick development area. The developer is in compliance with this obligation. They have proposed to provide 35,000 square feet in the development of candlestick which is associated with the retailer. The remaining 30,000 feet will be provided in a future major phase at the shipyard. The Community Facilities lots are bridge both phase 1 and 2. Under this obligation, the developer will provide ocii 8 acres of developable lots in community fats. In phase 1, 8. 2, in phase 2, 6. 8 acres will be provided. The developer is in compliance with this obligation. Ocii staff is currently in communication with our school district, police department, as well as other Public Service providers to determine their need for these parcels. The location for these communitys facilities lots is provided in the attached map. There are additional Community Facilities which are required turned phase 2 program specifically, the developer will provide replacement Artist Studios, an rt center parcel, replacement commercial kitchen, a fire station lot, and building 13 will be developed into an emerging Business Incubator. To date, lanaire has made efforts in fulfilling their obligations for the replacement Artist Studio building, the replacement commercial kitchen facility building. The commercial kitchen facility is actually currently under construction and will be completed in the next few months. The Business Incubator space obligation under phase 1 requires the developer to facilitate the growth and development of a variety of businesses at the shipyard without cost or without profit. In phase 1, the developer is in compliance. Thats limited amount of space that would be appropriate for this to meet this obligation in phase 1. Since the vast majority of development is housing, the developer will provide the space in the phase 2 development. Under phase 2, the Program Requires that the developer and ocii Work Together to develop building 813 for the use of the incubation of small emerging businesses and technologies. And in september, ocii acquired building 813 from the navy with the transfer of parcel d too. The cultural and Historic Recognition Program is a phase 1 program which integrates cultural features throughout the shipyard and provides opportunities to local artist to participate in the creation of public art. The developer is in compliance with this obligation. Ocii implemented this program through receipt of federal grants from the Economic Development administration. Through that grant, they commissioned the installation we commissioned and installed 9 art works. The developer is currently installing an additional piece of art work which are 500 square feet of use tile. A picture of the recently installed art work is on this slide. In phase 1, there is a home bear Assistance Program which is meant to provide assistance to qualified home buyers by providing down payment assistance, Home Ownership programs and Home Ownership city counciling. The developer is in compliance with this obligation through vertical disposition and vertical agreements. Financing options are made available to home buyers and to date, the developer has organized 59 first time home buyer workshops. There is also a Community Real estate Broker Program as part of the phase 2 program which raoeurgs requires the developer to hold specific market events to Community Brokers and to date t developer is in compliance. There are no units for sale in phase 2. However, the developer has voluntary extended this program to phase 1 and they provide Community Brokers with a 1 percent incentive fee. Phase 1 includes a robust Outreach Program under which the developer is required to input via website and Outreach Programs. These are required to be translated into chinese, spanish, and snow an. The developer is in compliance. They develop certain outreach activities but do not maintain a Community Focused website, quarterly newsletter or translate these communications. Ocii staff has worked with the developer for a corrective action under which the developer is proposing to launch a website in december and work to come into compliance with the remaining provisions of the Outreach Program. Also, under phase 1, the developer is required to provide a quarterly written status report to ocii and rca c which will be presented at the cac providing an update on the fulfillment of these Community Benefits obligations. The developer is not in compliance with this requirement. Quarterly reports have not been provided since september of 2013. The corrective action is that the developer will commence quarterly reports starting the next calendar year. This first report on the First Quarter of 2016 will be provided to ocii and our Citizens Advisory Committee in april. The committee benefit fund is both a phase 1 and phase 2 benefit. Its purpose is to create a fund to be reinvested by ocii in the bayview Hunters Point community to benefit low and moderate income families, eliminate blight and meet other communitys needs as implemented by bayview and Hunters Point and those relating to education, the arts, public safety, assistance for senior sit sense and other Community Assistance as identified. In phase 1, the developer is in compliance. They have contribute 1mate dollars to the Community Benefits fund which is the total funding to be anticipated. The Legacy Foundation will be presenting to this commission, the recommendation for how those funds should be spent in early 2016. Under the phase 2 program, the developer will contribute a half of percent of the first sale of each market rate housing unit. To date, no market rate homes have been sold on phase 2. Phase 2 d da also includes several other financial contributions to be made by the developer with specific milestones. The developer is in compliance with each over these contributions which includes a half Million Dollars to the Scholarship Program and as well to the education improvement fund. 100,000 to the wellness contribution and 250,000 dollars to the south east health center. The Scholarship Fund will be used to assist youth and adults up to age 30 with a the cost of tuition or educational materials and the pursuit of higher educational programs. 5,000 dollars of that Scholarship Fund will be set aside annually for the education travel scholarship to be awarded to an African American student from the b v h p for educational travel to africa or asia. The Education Fund will be used to support Education Enhancement within bayview Hunters Point which may include new facilities or upgrades to existing education resources, as well as health and education wellness in schools. And finally, the health and wellness funds are both to be used for the expansion of the Southeast Health center or in the event theyre not feed needed for that expansion, for the expansion of youth and creation wellness. That concludes our report. I am available for questions okay. Thank you. First of all, im going to take public comment. Can you please call . If anyone is interested which im expecting lots of folks might be interested in speaking, please hand in your speaker cards. Okay. Ill call 5 names at at time. If you could please line up. Glad hreus harris. Karen ortega. That har rah hes extra da. Gentlemanny ka smith. And tara owens. Good afternoon commissioner and thank you for allowing me to speak. My name is glad us harris. I grew up in a double rock which is now Alice Griffith. Presently, i live in the community. It has always been a dream of my sister and i to provide something for children. That dream became tprepb doll gentleman. We recognized there was a great need for quality care in bayview. 16 years ago, we worked with the city to build a center that provides quality infant, toddler, and preschool care and Supportive Service to families. In september of 2017, we will lose our playground due to redevelopment. That puts the Center Operation at risk because we are required to have a playground. And with all of the redevelopment plans, the influx of new housing, the plan for mixed income and even homes for purchase, there is no provision for child care. Fen doll gentleman not only supports families but it also provides jobs in the community. Vy 2 of my staff here today that lives in Alice Griffith and their children attend this school. A few years ago, there was a big ceremony. An announcement was made to bayview and the Alice Griffith residents. They promised the community that the new development would include a 10,000 square foot facility for child care. That announcement was made that tprepb dell gentleman would operate that facility. That promise was not made. Its been taken back. I would like to close with a message from our families. This is 1 parent. The staff is professional, teachers are wonderful. They take care of my children in a way i am fully satisfied. This is a future place for my children. Please give them a chance to find a new and a Better Future for the children. Please give them a chance. Thank you. Another. tprepb doll ya is a school of love. Every since the first day i brought my child here, i felt the sense that the staff loves the children and it takes me it makes me feel comfortable bringing my children. I hope that well be able to continue the services that were doing. Thank you so very much thank you. And i have here a folder with my parents. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. Thank you for letting me come speak. My name is karen and im a Mental Health consultant at tprepb dell gentleman enremit center. I was recently informed about the impact the redevelopment will have on the community that it serves. During my time, ive been aware of the impact that infant care can have on children, preschool kids and families. Children are offered nurture, access to warm meals, becomes, learning, and safety. Children build relationships and parents access parenting resources that help with disciplinary strafpblgts children are given a foundation for academic growth and emotional strength and wellness. Lives in Alice Griffith and the double rock candlestick neighborhood. Many families rely on tprepb dell gentleman for their childs care. If they were forced to relocate or close down, many families in the double rock tkapblgdz stick Point Community may no longer have access or seek out infant toddler, and preschool care. It is my hope that it can be relocated within the double rock candlestick Point Community in order to remain a beak enfor learning and community to come. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is jahada. Im a parent. My son attends frendelga and if this development has them close, it would be a bring hardship on my family because its really hard to find child care in the community. I dont know what i would be able to do with my child can to bring income to my house. That would be a really hard situation. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. My name is janiqua smith. I am a parent at frandolja. Can you speak closer to the mike. Hello, im a parent and im also an employee at tprepb dell gentleman. We cant hear you. laughter speak up. Its okay. Hello. Can you hear me now . Yes. Im a parent at tprepb dell gentleman exterior and im also an employee at tprepb dell gentleman enremit center. I also grew up in the neighborhood. Not only will you pwefpt the families but youll benefit the staff and most importantly, the children. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. My name is tara owens. Thank you guys for having the opportunity to hear us speak today. I am a parent of 2 children that attend friend gentleman and im also an employee now there and as a parent, i would not know what to do if they closed. It took me 1 year to get in because theres such a need for child care in that community. I was on a wait list and had to stay home with my on the for a year because there was no child care in our proximity. The closest thing was lake view which takes an hour and a half to get to on public transportation. So its very difficult. Now being that i am an employee there, i would also be out of a job. So now being out of a job and not having child care, its a lose lose situation. Im just here to express how much we would greatly appreciate any opportunity to allow friend alga to have a chance. So thank you. Thank you. Can the following people please come forward . September. Pete, mel nick, and abe sacbisen. Sorry if ive mispronounced your name. Good afternoon commissioners and. My name is september and were a Family Foundation 230r78d in the 80s. We focus executively on high quality child care in lowincome families and we supported the Bayview Community since we created in the 80s. Im here following the parents and staff that spoke to highlight, i would call it grave oversight in the communitys benefits plan that you just heard the presentation on child care and early education. Its a vital need in the community is completely overlooked. I want to share some data with you today. This is beyond friend algae. Today, the Bayview Community has a huge need for quality khaeuld care. Theres 570 eligible lowincome families on the waiting list for care from 94124. In addition to that, bayview has the lowest ready kids. Too many kids enter keupbd guard behind. This data was met before thoutsz of units were added to the neighborhood, many of which hope will be family serving and family friendly. We hope it is also estimated that for every dollar thats invested in high quality child care, the public will save 7 dollars or more in cost like remedial education, welfare, and incarceration. If kids arent served, they pay, their families pay, and we pay later. Its unjust that 1 of the neighborhoods few quality child can care centers, ka glad us, who you spoke to rose to the community needs. Its not being supported and lifted up. The original plans which i worked on in a prior capacity called for new Child Care Centers in the re kpwopblt. And now those plans were abandoned and theres no solution for child child care let alone meet the growing needs is unjust. I hope youll take this under consideration. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioner. My name is pete and im here representing National Association of minority contractors. We are the only trade association nationally that supports minority contractors. Having the cap program, the construction assistant program is really benefitting the local minority contractors. It allows them to grow their business, get assistance in bonding, and also in insurance and financing. That allows the growth of the contractors and hire more people in their community. Those types of programs needs to continue and go beyond, in a sense that it will allow smaller contractors to emerge from being a smaller contractor to a larger contractor. Cause Capacity Building is a must and it must take place with small minority contractors. Without Capacity Buildings, these companies will stay small and will not hire more companies and therefore, its critical that we look at the Capacity Building with small emerging minority contractors. We have collaborated with butler kpwerpz and were going to be meeting also with lanaire urban and this collaboration allows our organization to Work Together to come up with the means and other means of solutions that benefits the community, that benefits the suppliers, that benefits the minority contractors, and im looking forward to working in collaboration with them. We also have in collaboration with ocii and we see a lot of progress, making changes in the projects. We see increase of participation of minority contractors. Although, theres a goy for 20 percent for local suppliers, suppliers are also part of this equation since most of the goals for ocii projects are 50 percent. It will be we hooved to increase the percentage of goals to even higher because it allows smaller suppliers to grow also. The emerging suppliers needs to grow and compete against the larger suppliers thats surrounding in the neighborhood. And they can also, as they grow, hire more people. With that, were pleased with the result and this is a continuation. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioner. My name is melanick. Im from bayview Hunters Point. Thank you for the presentation for the Community Benefit agreement and the housing that you spoke of, the Affordable Housing to be tkwopbd. And the shipped yard and candle stick. The development of those units do not meet the requirements of the law. 33413, 334. 3 and 334. 18. A requirement t percentage that is afforded to and occupied by the extremely low and very lowincome category is not included in your planning strategies. And this an executive summary that states the Affordable Housing portions. The Affordable Housing portions are established to be retained to be built by the ocii. The phase 1 developers are required to give the successor agencies at no cost, 1 housing parcel, block 49 for the development of 60 Affordable Housing units. The developer is also required to finance the construction of the Housing Units on block 49. Now you just sent out this, i guess notification of these units thats being built on 49 to be at 60 percent, the maximum is 42, 8 dollars a month. I mean a year of maximum income. Thats lower income. But lower income includes very low and extremely lowincome. You denied those who are in those income categories by arbitrarily initiating in a price range. You say 1, 074 dollars is the price range to 1, 476 dollars. This is clearly in violation of what the requirements of the law is which says its from 30 to 0 percent. Youre not even paying for this development. Youre not paying for these units so how can you arbitrarily isolate people who qualify under what the law requires and you isolate them and make them not able to make those Units Available and a possibility for them to occupy those units that were built on a lot that was given to you . Its wrong. Im gone see the best i can to bring you up before ajude indication. Thank you. Can the following people please come up . Maria. Jack. Carrie. Kathy perry, and arthur washington. Hi, good afternoon commissioners, my name is maria and im a parent of 2 children. Theyre grown now but when they were growing up, i was lucky enough to live in a building where child care was located. Now, im here for parents on behalf of their voices and more than 10 percent of whom the list on the waiting list are lowincome in the bayview. This morning, i learned that there is no provision for moving early care and educational quality child care in the Developers Plan. And there is no plan at all to include or to relocate within the neighborhood. I have several parents who live in the district and this is a big concern for us. As our economy picks up, we need to support the tentative care for our children and for those desperately needing child care assistance so their parents can work and the children will thrive. A timely manner to meeting the needs of the Young Children and their families is essential to the community. I believe that not including any plans for Early Childhood in the Developers Plan is not acceptable. We hope that you will consider acquiring the child care and the housing being built and also relocating friend algae within this community. Thank you very much and i just want to add that child care keeps children learning and parents earning. Thank you. Thank you. Jack. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Im jock with la hits digital television. Mostly what i hear is about economic concerns. And economics is basically filled, must 1, in this city by tourism. Right behind that is technology. So in 2001, my Company Proposed to gut out 2 buildings at the Navy Shipyard Hunters Point and turn them into high Media Production companies. Through lanaire, we were basically shutdown. We saw this coming through our meetings at the ma consolely with maxwell, et cetera. We saw this whole digital thing coming. So that was part of our plan also. For us, the gentlemen who talked about contractors and us growing, our technology and Entertainment Companies have to grow too. I was recently covering oracle and i left oracle to go to a rally in the mission about no evictions in the mission. At that rally, i learned there was an r over 3,000 Homeless Children in San Francisco. Thats the ones that can be counted through the school district. So im thinking its more like 5,000 Homeless Children. And this is directly related to the castro of economics. So i would really like to know who is here from lanaire because we would definitely like to talk to you about what is happening out there at the Navy Shipyard as far as the development of arts, media, and entertainment and technology. Cause they have not been dealing with us very farrell at this date. Again, at the oracle convention, i saw a lot of p r for twitter. Twitter has a deal with the mba, slash the warriors. And you can go to twitter and find out whats going on with the nba players. We need that same type of buyin, especially since were not getting d. C. Money. This is very serious big business. We really want lanaire to start dealing fairly with us contractors, us in media and technology, and just across the board. I hear a lot about children and their welfare. Its already written into our structure that we will do this. We dont need to be prompted to do it. Thank you very much thank you. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is butler, im with the butler kpwerpz group. Im here really just to speak on behalf of the program, the Small Business program, the Construction Assistance Program at the shipyard of how excited we are of the work thats being done out there. We have a lot of staff that man that facility out there. We take a lot of pride in what our men have done. Since january of 20 13, weve done 22 workshops in the area. We have 159 Technical Assistance helping with putting in bids and different types of things. Weve had over 368 prebid meetings that we participate not only as a team, but also as the cap office, we do outreach in addition to the outreach thats being done also to make sure theres a comprehensive approach and the entire community is available and aware of the opportunities. Weve had over 550 drop since to come into the cap office. A lot of them are repeats because its consistent work that we do with the contractors. Ill be honest with you, ive done this for 18 years and the numbers you put up there today are outstanding. You can put that number against any other project the agency has and it will stand for itself as far as participation, communities contractors, and workers. Im more focused on the Small Business piece and thats the 1 i want to talk a little bit more about. On our first month on the job, the first 1 we did is the cap talent workshop to understand the needs of the capital investors. Understanding that 90 percent of our contractors that are in the community dont have the capability to fund the projects theyre now getting. So we brought in experts across the board to help in every way shaeurpbgs, and fashion. We have norical financial thats working 1 on 1. We helped initiate the fund, the mobilization loan fund that utilized funds in order to get predevelopment money for these contractors. Were doing things completely out the box. I know i have 30 seconds left but ill close with 1 testify things mentioned about the suppliers. We put an entire team of 5 people on the street and went doortodoor to district 10 and put together a manual and disseminate that manual to all meetings as well as we keep it on the website. Although it said we should have more meetings, i want the commission to understand there is a very positive, a very aggressive effort on or part to make sure everybody in the community is not only included but theyre informed and theyre participating at every level possible. Thank you. Thank you. Kathy perry. Good afternoon executive director and also commissioners. For the record again, my name is kathy perry. I have been monitoring well, not monitoring, but following the Community Benefits portion in particular, the i c, less the larger d da agreements. But now, of course, ill be looking at those a little bit as well. And i have recently written i do media now. I have recently written an article on and if you can make copies for everyone, you can see ive been following it very closely. But i wanted to say ive spent the last 3 years which is why i havent been so involved in a situation with 1 of the whole sites where i was a Program Director for if hunter the hunter view. I was a director and it doesnt have the requirements that lanaire has because lanaire is a bigger project but i do know the a challenge of the developer. I know also the challenge of the city. And there was 2 things that came up. 1 was is it the developers duty or is it the citys duty to decide or to plan for the services the c b os that are going to be around and provide support and all that. The reason i bring that up is because of the tprepb dell ga child care. Vy a strong opinion. The city has to make up their mind and say there has to be a citizens Advisory Community and looking at the Overall Development and who that impacts and there wont be these insights about the Child Care Center. I want to say this before i get into the work force piece. The work force, the Community Benefits agreement is did most comprehensive 1 ive ever seen. I have been following it very closely. At 1 point, i didnt know the i c part of it was a private agreement. I did learn that eventually by going through committees. Ive never seen 1 like this but maybe because its a shipyard occurrence that it got so deep. The developer has to develop the financing and negotiations. And of course, i learned this first hand by doing the hunters view project. Watching the developers, watching the city people and then how that translated on the ground. So its a really complex issue and i wanted to at least commend lanaire, for 1, hiring really well. They hire Community People which is really great and then the work force issue. Sorry its so much but its quite a comprehensive program. I think that o c i and lanaire need to really look at what a Work Force Program should be because things have changed drastically from 008 when i was look at all of this. The needs have changed. Theres a woman protesting outside right now because her son was killed and i dont pwraeupl her. Theres some real issues that people are experiencing so its complex to say the least. But the tkorp is doing a good job given the restrictions on it. Thank you for your time. I thank the city for the report. It was very comprehensive. Thank you. Mr. Arthur washington and colin haggerty. Good afternoon. My name is arthur washington and im with norical f d. C. , im the co c e o. We do Small Business lending. Ive been doing it for a while and here with the city of San Francisco. Currently, we have a state charter with the state of california of the benefit of both a federal state fund and the trust fund. I have a portfolio of about 400 loans which is the largest of Small Business lenders. So we know something about making loans to Small Businesses. The proficiency would be with the Minority Community as we call it the under deserved community and women owned businesses. Contractors and restaurants probably have the highest challenge to able to find financing. We asked to be a part of the cap team. We have a long history of providing financing. We came up with very innovative ways to be able to finance that. A lot of contractors go through lives ups and downs and dont always have the best lenders ready for a number of reasons, financial records and credit records. So its tough to be able to get that. We had to dom up with how we could develop a program. It was really going to be credit blind but allow the contractors to have the mobilization and answer to get the equipment and be able to hire people to believe able to make that work. So with the cap team and the i c wait, i should back up. When we did our assessment, we said 90 percent of the people in here are not going to qualify with banks. I c i was very helpful and provided financing. With that, weve been able to make every loan recommended for every contract. In addition, weve been able to exceed the employment by 125 percent. So weve been able to exceed it by 25 percent there. Contractors to me, represent the most natural way of being able to create employment, real employment in your community. Because it allows you to be able to come in from the ground and be able to get good wages. Its difficult to be able to finance that. I think the program we have here has actually done that. If anything, i think it needs more support to provide Technical Support for contractors to know how much future moans they will actually need. But i think the relationship we have here with lanaire, with the i c is a Perfect Blend for capital and provides perfect opportunities. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners and thank you for the opportunity to speak. Im here to support on the inclusion of tprepb dell ga in the bayview Hunters Point plan and redevelopment. Im with Family Services and im here to say we help families with their wellbeing and selfsufficiency. The point of our program is child care and early child childhood development. We operate a program similar to tprepb dell ga and i understand the importance of this program in the bayview. The majority of our plans are very similar to this program. They are minority women and theyre single moms. We feel that to abandon these women and these children would be a grave mistake. So we urge you to include child care and Early Childhood Education Development in your plans. Thank you. Thank you. Shana. Hello. Good afternoon commissioners. Hi, my name is shana and im with towns and management. I would like to on the Construction Assistance Program. Our company has been based in the bayview area since 2000. Our managers have consistent in the workshops and the workshops at Hunters Point and Candlestick Point projects. Being a part of the training program, we see the level of training being provided. We havent seen other projects that provide this level of training and outreach for their perspective contractors and we believe the program is effective and helpful for all. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Are there any others that would like to speak on this item . Director bohee and president rosales and all of you other wonderful commissioners, good afternoon. Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you. Im dr. Veronica chair of the cac for the shipyard. I want to also recognize oh, shes there. Here she comes. There she is. Oh, i dont see her in the chair so i thought she had left. Thank you. laughter so on behalf of the cac, may i say that the cac has advocated as many of you know, for the development of the shipyard for over 20 years. We have folks who are still on our c ac who have been there during that long 10 youre. We want you to know weve very pleased with lanaires execution of the development. We are especially pleased with the communitys Development Aspect and the phregt rah of the Community Whether its getting a job, or Home Ownership or renter opportunities. Theres so many programs in which we are very delighted but i do want to mention a couple. The cap program which youve heard about, i hope you picked up the point that local contractors often hire local qualified individuals from the community. And so we like what we see with that program. We see people getting the funding that they need and so that they can deal with their fiscals so they can learn how to be competitive, not only in jobs that pertain to the area but city wide. We are very pleased with the shipyard artist. I mean our artists have a home and a beautiful home. We want that to continue. We are pleased with the receiving of funds from lanaire urban for the i c ask the Legacy Foundation funding. Youve seen a recap on that from the wonderful tap sons group. We are pleased with the Small Business Assistance Program because that gives folks an opportunity to do that and by although means, were very pleased with the a g, Alice Griffith build out and its 1 for 1 replacement feature. In terms of the areas in which lanaire urban is out of compliance, ill move quickly. Our understanding is that ocii staff is working with lanaire to bring these areas into compliance and the reality is lanaire urban has exceeded all expectations and many of us feel that this will be a model, not only for San Francisco or california, but for the country. tpherpl in terms of the previous speakers who were dealing with the child care issue, i want you to know that we have not heard anything from the cac about that until today. So i gave my lady to the lady because we want to fold her into our process, our housing subcommittee process and we will do that. And so finally because im out of time, i want to thank you president rosales for your leadership in making sure all aspects of this project are in compliance and move forward well. Thank you commissioners for all the work that you are doing to help us move that project forward. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is doris. Im a long time revenue of bayview. Dr. Hunter has expressed the same things i would be expressing. I would like to take this opportunity to speak to the audience. Starting the d b a was developed under moore brown mayor brown and ive been a part of that process ever since. We neglected to think about child care. We never ever mentioned anything in our meetings about child care. So thats on us. The other part is, all of a sudden, we have absolutely no participation from community. They have not come to us about any concerns about losing the top lock. So i ask them tomorrow night, 7 00 housing will meet. They need to come and share with us what they think we need to do. I dont see dr. Walker closing tprepb dell ga just because theres no top lock. The way its presented, its like the child care is going away, dr. Walker is not about to let that happen. Im sure of that. So we need you to come to our meetings and share with us what it is you want us to work on. Thank you. Do we have any other speakers . We do not. Thank you everyone for your testimony. Okay. This is a workshop. So the Commission Gets any and all questions. So yes, commissioner bustos. All right. So i when we look at the communitys facilities lots, we said that part of your update is that the developers in compliance. Can you speak a little closer . You said the developer is in compliance and that youre working or youre having discussions with San Francisco unified school district, the police department, Fire Department about what to do with that, i would like maybe if the chair can actually have a commissioner be a part of those discussions so its something that rather than wait for the end when negotiations have already happened to then come up and let us know, but maybe theres some things that we could sort of apply on what when the discussions are happening and what you guys are saying. There may be some other ideas we have about it. So i would personally like to be a part of that but ill let our chair decide if someone can be a part of that. Its just a request. So the Small Business program. The develop is not in compliance and its about publishing the directory of local suppliers through the cap program, right . Mmhmm. We dont have time to wait for i mean, who is from lanaire thats here . La shawn wa urbg walker, the director of community affairs. La shawn, we need to get this directory up and go. I explained this on other commissions, when i was on the board and we voted to approve this project, it was more than vertical buildings, it was about lifting the whole community. And part of what we wanted was to make sure that local business, and im take talking about longterm bayview phurpbts point get access and get a piece of this pie because of lot of them, especially on third street had to sacrifice through all the construction the city has put them through so this directory is to important that i only think it better serves lanaire to make sure these businesses, your neighbors, these people who are part of this Community Get first bibs tkeubs on this job. Im not talking about people who just set up shop in bayview last week, im talking about people who have been around and honed in their expertise, not only on technical skill, but also skill of understanding the community. So we need to get this directory updated and make sure a lot of the businesses in the contractors and not just in construction but professional services because right now, it is the professional services that are needed whether its architects, engineers, you name it. So thats why its important to have this up and running. Would you like commissioner i was going to go to the next 1. Sure, if you would like to comment. Commissioners, thank you. La shawn walker. Commissioner bustos, i agree. I just wanted to provide a little bit of clarification. The director ry is up and running now. As you heard from tap sons presentations but also butlers comments, we produced the directory and we make sure that contractors have access to that directory once they have contracts with us. I think what weve heard with the city and ocii and tap son and her team is in terms of getting this presentation ready, they would like to eour meet and greets and the occasions where we bring suppliers and contractors together to happen more frequently which you saw on the presentation this afternoon. And to add our professional services to the list of folks who receive the directory. Its currently being published and disseminated. We are currently bringing contractors and suppliers together on a regular basis. We will increase that. And our service s p e is quite high. Okay. I would like to go. So noted. And meet some of our contractors and even try to encourage them to hire local. So noted. Thats what its about. It is. Its about doing the right thing and about making sure people in the Community Stay in the community and help build the community so thank you for that. Thank you. The last comment and ill be quiet. I tend to ramble. But it just struck me and maybe this is an overall conversation we need to have ann as a city family. The International African marketplace, when i was laughter when i was looking at this and sort of hearing the update and thank you for that, it just struck me that we need to do more because our African American population is almost at nothing. So why build something if were not doing anything as a city to make sure that our African American brothers and sisters stay in San Francisco . Thats a long conversation and i know tiffany, youve been working and having a lot of skofrgsz with all of them. Our other City Partners that i see needs to really step up their game is our mayor of Public Housing because we cannot allow this to go. Or else, there will be no need for an International African marketplace. So i just say that to those here as well as the people who are listening, please get involved. We try to do something in the mission. We didnt win the war but we have not lost the battle. So i ask people in bayview and Hunters Point and communities all throughout the city that our diversity is leaving it and we need to do something to do it. And im grateful that ocii is trying to do its part but we need our other partners to do their part. So i just ask people to get involved and their communities to ask for more housing, to keep the diversity of San Francisco, do not let it go out. Do not let it die. And enough said. But thank you. Thank you. Commissioner singh. Sure. laughter i i thought upper you were seeking recognition. I was just talking. Okay. So i would like to know with all this, the difference from what we had before and this. So this is first time weve done the comprehensive update on phase 1 and phase 2 agreements on their implementations. So in terms of compliance and noncompliance, is that what youre referring to . Yes, what needs to be done . So there are, in terms of what needs to be done moving forward, as commissioner bustos noted, we need to assist lanaire in coming into compliance with the Small Business program and to clarify, there are 3 components, 2 of which were discussed. The directory of local Small Businesses as well as the quarterly workshops. The third component is really going to be the most difficult to implement. And that is requiring and tracking consultants and contractors to purchase 20 percent of the value of their shipyard related purchases from b v h p Small Business, Small Businesses. That is not currently expressly required of contractors and consultants. And its not tracked. So that will be an effort to implement that program. Soar items that the other items that need to come into compliance with the job training and Assistance Program where lanaire needs to provide additional funding. Theres a short fall of approximately i shouldnt do math in my head, but youre supposed to spend 2 Million Dollars and theyve only spent 1. 8 on job training and assistance. Additionally, they need to come into compliance with the outreach provisions and the status report provisions. I believe thats all of them is there any Child Care Center there . There is not currently a Child Care Center planned in Alice Griffith which is the only development currently under way on the phase 2 development. Theres also no child care planned in the phase 1 development. So the people who came here who said the Child Care Center should be needed there. Yes, we agree and ocii staff along with staff from lanaire urban and the hope s f team have been meeting with friend algae. We recognize the services they provide to the bayview Hunters Point community are essential and very much needed. And we will continue to work to find them a Permanent Location in candlestick. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, commissioner memental. Thank you. I think child care is very important. The average family is spending more than half of their salary for child care. As a parent mentioned, she was on the list for a year. In that year, the child is growing and leading to displacement and people are leaving San Francisco. Without family, theres no needs for skwaols and resource centers. I think we need to have something to make sure these parents are staying in San Francisco and getting the resources they need as well. Thats something i would like to see. And i would like to know what percentage of the artists for this project are local from the Bayview Community . Ooh, let me check and see if we know. I dont know off the top of my head. We do not know right now but the shipyard trust has done a survey of the existing artist out on the shipyard so we can get back to you. Okay. And my last question is with the Networking Events and outreach, is it to increase in women minority firms that are participating and bidding and also being apart of this project and how far is the reach in terms of outreach engaging the community with opportunities . La shawn, do you want to speak to that . La shawn walker, lanaire urban. So let me first, if i might, commissioner, address commissioner singh and then ill come back to the questions that youve asked. Commissioner singh, you asked about some of the things that tap son just identified in terms of what needs to be done and i wanted to address 1 of those areas that she mentioned which is the job training where she mentioned the short fall. Its approximately 475,000, approximately, dollars. 2 things, as she said in her presentation, we have a plan for acceleration. Were exciting about some of the things that were going to do that are in the works to accelerate those job training spending expenditures over the next 2 years. But i did want to make a point here that there was no activity on the project from 2008 to 12. So thats really the reason why were short in terms of our job training expenditures. With respect to the outreach, we have a pretty robust Outreach Program which we are definitely open to ideas in terms of enhancing that and making it more so. Specifically, in terms of inviting women. Is that inviting Women Entrepreneurs into the program. I mean, we havent done anything that singles them out. When we do outreach rather it be for contracting opportunities for for Home Ownership opportunities, we do it widely throughout the city and throughout the district but we havent done anything that specifically targets women. So we do have some information here about some of that outreach. Vy a letter from some of our new home owners in our b and r program that i will share with the commission but we dont do anything that specifically targets women. Was that it . Did i answer your question . Mmhmm. So let me leave that. Im going to leave that letter now. Into the record. May i read a part of it chair rosales . Yes. On laugh behalf of my family and me, we are in support of lanaire urbans b and r tat shipyard. I learned from the Mayors Office of development through their mailing list. I was paying too much for rent and as a civil sailent, i couldnt afford. I love the city and i didnt want to move. I reached out for advice and undertook the home owners buyers program. I had a lot of questions and carry was particularly very helpful during the application process. Once i won the lottery, sonia and ie sha from the Mayors Office assisted me the certification. Jackie spear made the transition into our new home very successfully. As well as wendy and nosha. Our Customer Care team. Moving into our shipyard home has made our dream come true. We are happy home owners and appreciate all the people who have made this possible for us. Among moving in, my family has welcomed a new baby girl and this to me is a true test of the security the b and r has afforded to us. This is 1 of our new home owners as i said. Thank you. Since the presentation you had in front of you was written, we since now have a live website, the Hunters Point Community Website that has our b m r information on it. It has our construction update information. It has our Environmental Mitigation measures information. So we will continue to keep that current. It also has links to ociis r s p page which all of our r s ps present there as well. So weve now come into compliance with that 1 strategy in terms of out reach and we will continue to go forward and do did things that need to be done there. Thank you. Thank you. I received a notice, i think, for the first time. My company is certified as a local business, my business company. So i received notices of upcoming opportunities. So i think our contractors, not just the shipyard and bayview but in other jurisdictions and others, mission bay and others are keeping us informed. I dont know if the other commissioners receive those updates rplts i havent received anything. Thats interesting. Maybe because im a certified company. I am too. Are you . Yea. So we can talk about more of those. Yea cause i get the so hreus taeugz because i can do them but its obviously to the extent that i know people, i send them out. Okay. Thank you for that. I have a series of questions. Let me see. Im going to take them in order just to make them more understandable. I know were not supposed to talk too much about it but im really interested in this core Community Benefits agreement 2008. So can you tell us more . There seems to be a lot of amazing benefits here that are supplement ago to everything youve talked about. Yea. La shawn walker does sit on the kpwhreplsz committee so maybe she can speak to it. Again, this isnt an order we enforce or monitor in in anyway. So i guess my only question is how is compliance in this agreement going . Is that something youre prepared to talk to you today on or should we get that by memo . I was not prepared to talk to you today about that. laughter okay. So i can send you some information. I will be glad to do that. Yes. I will say that we just recently, the Implementation Committee has just recently made a new grant, a new expenditure for a rental Assistance Program. So thats brand new. There has been some grants made over time. There has been some slow it has been a little slow with those expenditures. Thats been the issue of some conversation lately. But there is now a new expend tkur that has been made from those funds for rental assistance but i will provide some information to the commission through the staff. Thank you. I think thats helpful so that we make sure that where theres areas and pockets of needs that may not be addressed elsewhere, that maybe perhaps we can assist in focusing on those areas. Okay. Lets see. I had a question on slide 10. And this is 1 of my favorite questions. Forgive me or ill forgive you if you dont have a direct answer. Perhaps mr. Lee has an answer. If im reading this slide correctly, lets see. Theres total s p es, 54. 2 percent of the achievement, right . Thats the achievement, 54. 2 percent of which San Francisco base s p es are 27. 7 percent. Now, of that number, 16. 2 no, of the total number of dollars. Okay. 16. 2 are bayview Hunters Point s p es. Okay. But if you look just at the 27 or 28 percent San Francisco bays, thats more than half of the san franciscans. Im the contract supervisor maybe i can provide some clarity. Okay. The 16. 2 is a subset of the San Francisco s p es. Yes. So thats what that is. So roughly 68 percent of all San Francisco businesses are coming from or going to contractors in the bayview Hunters Point. Thats correct. And of that number so im just trying to see how this breaks down. The majority are minority businessmaleowned companies . Oh, um. No . That 1 is not quite professor thats not a San Francisco number . No. Its just the total of the contract dollars for informational purposes. What i can do if youd like is i can go back and parse that data out specifically for bayview area businesses. Yea. Im interested in seeing not only that the district is receiving the intended flow of dollars, but that its a diverse pool of contractors from the district that are receiving the dollars. Correct. True. Okay. And let me see. So maybe both of you can stay up there and answer my questions. So this is on slide 14. The talk about Technical Assistance and Financial Assistance. I understand the Technical Assistance part, it sounds like how to understand the kind of work, the nature of the work, you know, basically how to bid it perhaps, or how to connect perhaps with i mean prepare a bid, it sounds like. Is that correct . Did i get that correct . The Technical Assistance . Yes. Okay. And then Financial Assistance, i know weve heard from bayview Hunters Point contractors, some of them, but theres this cash flow issue, right . Its not that theyre not able, its not that theyre not available, its not that theyre not capable, its not any of that. But the business theyre getting which is fantastic is perhaps, more of a stretch either because its a larger contract issue or mobilize and its that issue of cash flow. Youve got to be able to get paid and hire, right . Is this Financial Assistance Program Available for that cash flow problem . The majority of contractors we met with were restep yen et os of this funned. Its capped at 50,000 dollars. From our discussions, 50,000 dollars is not nearly enough for many of these contractors who have substantially larger contracts. So 50,000 for just the tpufpbd itself is 50. Per recipient. Per restep yen et. Okay. laughter but thats still low. Yea. Thats still low. So is there any mechanism or ways of shifting, you know, money . laughter into the funds where its apparent that its mostly needed or more needed . La shawn walker, lanaire urban. I wish we could shift more than we can shift. But heres the response. The Mobilization Fund was seated at 250,000 dollars by lanaire urban through that cc a or through that Implementation Committee and because that seed was only 250,000, the loans have been capped at 50,000 dollars currently, dollars amount. We are in the process of securing matching funds. Mobilization for contractors has been a problem in the community for a very long time as you all know. And initial activities by lots of folks, lanaire, renaissance, independent folks, banks, Bank Representatives were met with some resistance in terms of traditional lenders wanting to participate or be the first ones to offer constructor financing because theyre risky loan applicants. Theyre risky clients because of their work. Right. And lanaire urban through its kphreplz committee decided it would be best to provide some private dollars to be the first 1 with skin in the game. And then now that at least theres a seed to go out and solicit matching funds, now that someone, we being someone has put up the initial capitalization. So were now having some of those conversations and weve gotten some commitments. No money yet but were starting to get commitments for the matching fund so we can grow the Mobilization Fund to be at least 1 million and then hopefully, we can increase the loan amounts. Were having some excellent results from repayment. Weve had good results with our repayment because we have a joint check system. So those conversations right now are ongoing. And as ive said, weve had some commitments of matching funds. But because theres no money on the table, im reluctant anity to say what they are right now. But im hoping well be 5eub8 to share with the commission and the community some good news in the near future. Great. Thats going to be very important. Thank you. Chair rosales, if you would allow it, mr. Butler wanted to add something to my response. Yes, please. We want all the information you can provide us to help solve these issues. laughter in addition to that, we also have brought in a number of Factoring Companies which is very expensive money. But we brought in Factoring Companies to talk to the individual contractors to see if thats an option. Weve also look add the new model of alternative financing with the terms of lending on deck, and workshops there. The most important thing is were sending out contractors and saying you cannot buy off more than you can chew. You have to bid an analysis before you can bid a job and understand where your financial position is. This is a 20 year job and if you grow yourself in the proper increments, youll be at the point where you have the proper financing vehicles and the proper credit and all the other things. Some of them have to be very conscientious of not just jumping on the carrot because it exist. We have to sit them down when they get a contract and finding out what is the financial commitment for the course of that job. Youre going to have this much in taxes and this much in payroll for the next 6 weeks. Im comfortable with saying it, we still have to work with our contractors in educating them on taking no more than theyre capable of. At the same time, were looking at every way to have the proper finance in place to help them be successful. I have a followup question. What about if a contractor has limited capacity based on the particular job the contractor is interested in . Do you also do match matching with a stronger, lets say another small contractor that perhaps together in a joint bencher, the 2 small contractors can take on in additional capacity . Or maybe its not a small contractor, maybe its a medium size. In addition, yes. To answer you directly. But we also talk to the prime contractors on a case by case basis and say can you maybe purchase the materials. If we get them the 50,000 dollars mobilization loan and the materials, we may be able to have them tkhred until the first payment comes in. Not 2 Small Companies because that creates a different dynamic. Especially when youre small, theres a lot of trust issues and process issues as will. So where a larger company, it helps with the protege relationship as well. So were looking at all different kind of ways and a lot of these contractors have pweftd from a lot of these things but still growing their business and what it takes to be successful. Its a very complex industry to be skwefl in and contracting is not you know, the margin is small, the complexities are huge but the opportunity right now, the shipyard for contractors are great and theyre benefitting from it. Great. Thank you. Okay. Im almost done here. Okay. So on slide 17b, i have a note here. The developer will contribute 275,000 dollars a year to ceos for job training services. Who decides, is that the developer . Yes, the developer makes the determination on who those funds should go to. Okay. And i think some of these other questions have already been addressed. So i have 1 forus because i was i know about the Community Builder program but i guess i didnt think too deeply about the o c i. Community builder program. What does that look like . Director bohee may know more than i do about it. But essentially, ocii partners are Community Based developers in our partnership and development of affordable phougs. So we tend to do it on all of our projects. So weve already met the 300 unit requirement in the d da but well continue to do it as we move forward in development of our own stand alone development on candlestick shipyard. So were looking on developing our housing portfolio, we might consider this kind of model in part perhaps . Yes, theres 2 r ps in candlestick so lanaire urban builds out the candlestick site, the retail. Across the street is the affordable sites, theres 2 of them and its over 200 units collectedive, those 2 sites. So we go out with 1 r s p and at the same time, bring forth to the commission the term of that r s p, we would provide for Community Partners to be a part of that just as you saw in the staff presentation with respect to Alice Griffith and the core mcber ran balance cedar and the tabor knack elpartnership. We will do it in the same way. Okay. So i guess my final question which is more of a fun question on slide 28. Who did the graphic for the market show . laughter inaudible . So the proposals that came forth . No. An artist. Oh, an artist. Thats fantastic. I really like it. Is there a tshirt. Oh, its wonderful. Okay. Those are my questions. Okay. laughter thank you. All right. Did anybody have any more questions after all that questioning . Okay. We dont have an action item. So thank you everyone. We will take all of this in. We will look forward to additional reports. Thank you. The next order of business is item 6, Public Comments on nonagenda items. Madam chair do we have any . I havent received any. Any cards . I think everyone is leaving. Okay. We dont see any members of the public speaking. Please call the next item. The next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. I dont have a report. The next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director, madam director . Commissioners and to the members of the public, i would just direct your attention to the forward calendar. We are expecting to have 2 more meetings in december. And for the rest of the year, we still have a good bit of work left to do. So really just Upcoming Schedule and just being mindful of the remainder of the calendar and well start again fresh in 2016. That concludes my report. Okay. The next order of business is item 9, commissioners questions and matters. Madam chair. Yes. Any commissioner have a question. Yes . I dont know how many questions have the news slip for today but San Francisco county, there was mention about the lottery system and i dont know, do we have anything to do with the lottery system . I wish we had more to do with the lottery system. laughter there was a lot of complaints by the African Community that theyre not being included. Certainly commissioner, we did see the article. Actually, the board of supervisors is currently considering a neighborhood preference piece of legislation right now or they may have already krgd it. And as we have discussed. We wanted to analyze that for our project requirements, our contracts and agreements have a series of resisting processes that release them from placement, urban renewal, first preference. The city has adopted a similar policy. And then you set aside policy for l asachs displaces and then the San Francisco resident and worker. As i said, neighborhood preference is being considered and may help to mitigate displacement in other communities. We are having a report from ocd in an upcoming meeting and really focus on the certificate of preference. But certainly as part of that, we had the annual Housing Production report as well as tenanting report from ocd to put that into context. Certainly, should the Commission Want us to take a look at recent projects since weve been implementing these various preferences, the demographics, the supervisoral districts, a member of that has already provided that from ocd who helps us provide those services. We certainly could bring some of that data forth to certainly analyze, at least for your project, whats the composition of residents who are securing these affordable, either Home Ownership or rental opportunities, either sponsored by you or through the occlusionry program through third party developers. Yea, i would ask for that because i have a recollection and this is probably the first year that i started with the commission. I think we got a report on that. And i dont know that weve had another 1 since. Yea. Who runs the lottery . We run the lottery system . The specifications of how tenants are selected are put forth in your Development Agreements in the loans and we contract with the Mayors Office of housing and communiTy Development with their program rea and her staff have come before you. Its at the discretion implemented by our third party, the Mayors Office of housing. Okay. Thank you. Were going to okay. Maybe you can let us know when the next report by the Mayors Office of housing on all those issues. I know we got 1, i think about in the last 6 months. About 6 months ago. Yea. Yea. So did you want to make a question or a statement . I have 2. I would like to attend the meeting when lanaire and the Child Care Center and compass family are meeting to discuss the state of the Child Care Center. And also, im finding a lot of residents that arent aware they even qualify for the process. Or actual object obtaining the documentation and where to find it. I want to know if the o c i can work the with the Housing Development and target to make sure people actually know. I had a resident who said how do i find out and get on the list. My first question was have you ever lived in Public Housing and she said yes and she was not aware of the opportunities that she has. I would like to see some deeper outreach or maybe some marketing so that people across the board knows their eligibility for this housing to make sure theyre actually staying in San Francisco as well. And it would be nice to see some highlighting case studies in individuals who actually succeeded in getting these certificates for getting in the houses so it can be mirrored for other individuals to know and to be able to reach out to other various Community Members to say we went through enthusiasm process, these were the hick ups but at the end of the day, we actually got a home and how it would help the Community Members. Okay. So ill note that on our forward looking calendar, there is an item for our next meeting that is on the certificate of preference program. So perhaps, a workshop rather than an arcs action item at that point would be appropriate. Commissioner bustos . Just to go along with commissioner penmental, we talked about doing a workshop in the community where we can get people the education on how to get a certificate and then on how we can keep people up, meaning bet them on a track where we] partner with the nonprofit and they work on their credit and look at budgeting and savings and stuff like that. I think that would also help. I listened very intensely to president supervisor london breeds comments about the neighborhood preference and i sort of seen how different communities have done it. And 1 of the communities thats been very successful is that they actually go out and they tell their community about this. And they have programs and cue it up. And so i think we should maybe look at doing the same so that we could get people, 1 the right information, but theres more to it than just getting their certificate, right . Mmhmm. Theres getting people ready so that when the time comes and theres a vacancy or an availability, that boom, you know, theyre right there, ready, and ready to move in instead of not being prepared and then have to wait again for the next time their name may come up. So weve talked about that and hopefully we can look at on the car dal, madam chair, look at doing something in the bayview when we can actually talk about certificate of preference and maybe look at some of our partners to do presentations. And maybe in the afternoon, do actual workshops where people can actually sign up with a nonprofit about how to start repairing your credit, how to start saving, how to start budgeting. What does it mean to be a home owner and all those things people need to know before they get into that .

Even though the Navigation Center has been up in march 2014 the program is creating successful outreach for its clients. A month ago they came to me and asked me to go into a new program i moved into here and now 3 months later i have my own place it is mine i lock my door dont worry about my stuff it feels human again as a society weve basically failed big portion of our population if you think about the basics of food, shelter safety a lot of people dont have any of those im mr. Cookie cant speak for all the things but i know say, i have ideas how we can address the food issue. Open the door and walk through that dont just stand looking out. As they grew up in in a how would that had access to good food and our parent cooked this is how you feed yours this is not happening in our country this is a huge pleasure im david one of the cofounder so about four year ago we worked with the serviced and got to know the kid one of the things we figured out was that they didnt know how to cook. I heard about the Cooking School through the Larkin Academy a. Their noting no way to feed themselves so theyre eating a lot of fast food and i usually eat whatever safeway is near my home a lot of hot food i was excited that i was eating lunch enough instead of what and eat. As i was inviting them over teaching them basic ways to fix good food they were so existed. Particle learning the skills and the food they were really go it it turned into the is Charity Foundation i ran into my friend we were talking about this this do you want to run this Charity Foundations and she said, yes. Im a cofound and executive director for the cooking project our best classes participation for 10 students are monday theyre really fun their chief driven classes we have a different guest around the city theyre our stand alone colas we had a series or series still city of Attorneys Office style of classes our final are night life diners. Santa barbara shall comes in and helps us show us things and this is one the owners they help us to socialize and ive been here about a year. We want to be sure to serve as many as we can. The San Francisco Cooking School is an amazing amazing partner. It is doing that in that space really elevates the space for the kids special for the chief that make it easy for them to come and it really makes the experience pretty special. Im sutro sue set im a chief 2, 3, 4 San Francisco. Thats what those classes afford me the opportunity it breakdown the barriers and is this is not scary this is our choice about you many times this is a feel good what it is that you give them is an opportunity you have to make it seem like its there for them for the taking show them it is their and they can do that. Hi, im antonio the chief in San Francisco. The majority of kids at that age in order to get them into food they need to see something simple and the evidence will show and easy to produce i want to make sure that people can do it with a bowl and spoon and burner and one pan. I like is the receipts that are simple and not feel like its a burden to make foods the cohesives show something eased. I go for vera toilet so someone cant do it or its way out of their range we only use 6 ingredients i can afford 6 ingredient what good is showing you them something they cant use but the sovereignties what are you going to do more me youre not successful. We made a vegetable stirfry indicators hed ginger and onion that is really affordable how to balance it was easy to make the food we present i loved it if i having had access to a kitchen id cook more. Some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasnt taught how to cook. I have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. The more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify theyre not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. It is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that. Well have our new headquarters in the heart of the tenderloin at taylor and kushlg at the end of this summer 2014 were really excited. A lot of the of the conditions in San Francisco they have in the rest of the country so our goal to 257bd or expand out of the San Francisco in los angeles and then after that who know. Wed never want to tell people want to do or eat only provide the skills and the tools in case thats something people are 2rrd in doing.

Thank you. Call an item. Which item is it . I tell you what, we been, and we are going to call one through three, together. Item one, resolution approving the awards of Hotel Management, and approximately, 20 million relating to onairport hotel at the San Francisco International Airport item to, resolution approving the issuance of up to 243 million, aggregate Principal Amount of air force commission, capitol plan bonds and 225 million, and item four appropriate ating, 473 million, consisting of 243 million, from the proceeds of the airport capitol plan bonds and 450,000 from fund balance, and 230 million of proceeds from Hotel Special facility Revenue Bonds and other long term financing source to develop a hotel within the San Francisco International Airport. Okay. We want to recuse super visor farrell without objection. Do we have someone from the airport that would like to speak to the items 1 to three . Supervisors, airport director, sfo and i am very pleased to bring this item before you today. Something that i waited a long time to do to finally build a First Class Hotel and airport property and something that the world class airport should have. So the items before you today, three items, the first approves the Hotel Management agreement, with the Hyatt Corporation and adopts the findings, and item two, approves the issuance of 243 million in airport capitol bonds, and 225 million in special, facility bonds and item 3, appropriate ates the bond, proceeds to pay for the hotel project. We are proposed the hotel, Management Agreement is for a planned, 350 room, four diamond, aaa rated hotel. To be build on airport property in front of the international terminal, on the site of the old hilton. It was torn down in 1998 to make way for a construction of freeway ramps. And this hotel was a part of the master plan that was adopted in the 90s. The hotel will be built and owned by the airport soe. This allows us to maximize our financial return. And in the hyatt will super vice all aspects of the management and the operation under a ten year agreement. The airport will pay a fixed annual Management Fee to the Hyatt Corporation, over the ten year agreement, that will total almost, 20 million, they will be required to put in 5 million in key money, so the net payments will be less than 15 Million Dollars. The agreement with the hyatt is a result of an rfp process. Very competitive process. We had ten responsive proposals both from the very big brands including hilton star wood, Hyatt Marriott as well as some mid sized brands. Very straight forward process and took us 21 months to get through the process. And the airport will be operated under the grand hyatt brand. The financing structure allows the airport to offer the bonds to finance the project at a very low interest cost of 3. 18 percent as a current estimate. The revenues from the hotel are also, subject to the payment of whereby the city receives, 15 percent of concession revenues. Once the hotel is fully up and running the citys shares should be about one Million Dollars on an annual basis going forward. I would be happy to answer any questions to you on these items. Supervisor mar . Yeah, thank you, mr. Martin. I wanted to just ask you to talk a little bit about the competitive process. And i understand that there are ten bids and two bidders that were very close at the top. And everyone else was quite a bit below. And i know that the proximity of another hotel within i think that it is a two mile radius was a consideration of four star hotel. And i am just wondering if you can talk about the fairness of the process. Very much stand behind the fairness of the process. We wanted to have a lot of competition, and we ceremony receive that in receiving ten proposals. We wanted the companies that already operate brands near the airport to still compete. So, hilton Hyatt Marriott. And star wood, all have hotels near the airport. And we wanted them to compete, but we also designated this be a 4 star hotel. On airport property. And we designated that they not at the time of the proposal have a 4 star hotel within a ten mile radius of the airport. So those none of those four hotels, were operating a 4 diamond property. At that time. We have also so then, to negotiate the process, recognizing that the hotels, continually over time, make investments in properties, theoretically while the hyatt is the intention not to make that a 4 star hotel, theoretically it could happen. So what we have done is to negotiate a 35 percent required differential as the average room rate for the airport property, 35 percent above the game, at the Hyatt Regency. And that protects the cities. We negotiated with the hyatt and received an impass where we did not receive the protection on this differential and we broke off the negotiations very much like the labor negotiations and sometimes they are broken off and at that time, the hyatt president came to me and i personally met with the president of the Hyatt Corporation with my team and he with his team and we reached the agreement on that 35 percent, roommate differential that provided the financial protection that we were looking for. I am just looking at the hyatt San Francisco airport website. They clearly advertised themselves as a 4star, i believe that there are 60 to 70 million upgrade and i was wondering if that was considered, because it seems like the hyatt had a four star or at least in the process of upgrading to and which would create a economic potential problem of having two four star hotel in such close proximity that it was at hyatt. It was at one time was a 4 star, on the website it is a 3 star hotel. And there are pages that and i think that all of the pages have been eliminated and we researched this and now the hotels around the country that were once, 5 or four stars, if you go to the main site they may be appropriately listed at their star level and you can search the web and find the reference to the old higher level off four or five diamond rating. So it is not uncommon that you will be able to find Something Like this, the way that the hotels nationally advertise. But the important thing is that yes, the hyat is being improved and i expect in the next ten years probably less, every major hotel there will be Capitol Investments this is part of the nature of the hotel industry. That the infrastructure begins to deter ate and the hotels put in major new investments to upgrade the facilities. But the hyatt has told us that the intention is to keep that as a three star, and we really have been made, neutral on the issue, by virtue of that 35 percent, roommate, differential that they have agreed to. If they dont maintain that average 35 percent, room rate, differential, they are out. Because they are out of the Management Agreement and go to another management company. I guess that i just have some concerns that they are saying to you that they are a 3 star, that they are communicating to the public ta they are a 4 star, and how much Due Diligence do we do to find out, are they really a 4 or a 3 star, and how much of the up grades will push them up to that. I am just expressing that as a concern. I also just wanted to say that as the hilton was it a 500 room, hilton was closed in an economic down turn in the early 90s is that right . 19, well, 1998 i guess wasnt and i think that the economy was going fairly strong at that time. It is the high occupancy rates for that hotel. But we tore it down because the freeway ramps had to go through the building the way that the building was situated at that time but it had not been doing well as a hotel as well and was starting to. It was doing well, but it was in very bad shape. It was a wood frame construction. Building. And so very dated structure, built in 1954. It was in need of replacement. So, yeah, at that time, we thought that we would be able to start a hotel, process, we actually did some work in the late 90s but then when the united filed for bankruptcy, we did not feel that it was the time to go forward with the rfp. The hyatt is clear, it is clear on the website that the burlingham property are three stars. There are references on the web and there may be references that hyatt trying to clear that out to this being four stars. We found this with other properties and looked at other brands where they advertise what they are and you can still find some old dated page on the web that another company may have a tie into that has a higher star rating. I am just reading from the hyatts remember sight, San Francisco, easier than ever to see the sites around the bay area, when you stay at hyatt airport, it gives, three, aaa, and 4 star, that looks like a four star. I think that somebody left the hyatt is speaking later. But in theory, and someone can take a link to an old website tie it into their current website. And you know, they pull the lifrpg three years ago and they keep that link to something that is not now current. So, i probably not describing that right. But if you right now, went on the computer and went to the Hyatt Regency you will see three stars. Three diamonds. I know that it is a Strong Economy now with a Strong Demand for hotel accommodations. Was there an analysis, and i know that the budget analyst looked at finances for the city and made recommendations to support the recommendations. What i am interesting is right now with the Strong Economy did your analysis in how you formulated the contract, with the management company, consider an economic down turn and what having two hyatts in the same vicinty and how that would be impacted and i want the best deal for the city and i am worried a little bit that we are not looking at a lot of the issues of economic down turn and how that impacts two hotels of roughly the same, quality in the same vincinity. We considered that and under the process, the hyatt scored the highest and so the obligation to negotiate with the hyatt and receive the protections and for that roommate, differential and then we also looked at the consideration that hyatt has compared to for instance, the next strength, Hotel Operator which is fairmont many, many, times in the number of people in the frequent stay program. We are going to get both customers who are looking for the closest hotel to the terminals. And we are going to get people who are frequent guests in hyatt hotels that are looking for the nearest hotel near the airport. So, having a brand that has five or six times more people in the plan gives us a lot of protection. I just wanted to thank you for being transparent and miss lightner as well. And i am not going to second guess the process that you and the staff and the Airport Commission went through. I am hoping that we might consider, moving this forward with a neutral recommendation to the full board but right now i am trying to think about that and i would love to hear the public comment. Thank you for your questions, supervisor mar, just to build on some of the questions that you had asked. I am curious if you have any sort of information around the occupancy rates around the hotels that are in the airports vicinty and what you are expecting once you complete the building of this airport hotel. I am going to need more help
