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 with my staff. If you like, you can come up to the mic and speak to that. This is our Hotel Project manager for the Airport Commission. And good morning. And the competitive set around the airport, the hotels, are averaging approximately 80 percent at 165 dollars. Is that what you are asking for . Yes, in the surrounding areas and that is a pretty steady trend in terms of all of the hotels around the airport . Yeah, this is for the full service hotels. Correct. And we have done, a great deal of analysis. And we have gone back 25 years. To see kind of the trend of occupancy. And it has gone up and down and over the last 20 years, the average occupancy has been about 75 percent. And the average growth rate, in the average daily room rate has been about 3 percent, which we have modeled Going Forward and just to give you a sense of the delta between what the grand hyatt is projected to do, verses say, the Hyatt Regency San Francisco airport. These were done by our hospitality consultant. And they project, that this property was opened, today. And it would do, approximately 277 dollars. The hyatt recentgy as of today is do, 186 dollars. That is a 50 percent differential. And so you can see, the delta, and that is, due to the premium location and the premium of the convenience for the guests and the product and the excellent location of the 101 and we have a huge market of 50 million passengers that will be looking to stay at this hotel. Thank you for that information. Thank you. Do you have any other information before we go to Public Comment . No. It is a joy to be back in San Francisco where i have the opportunity to live and work on my 29 years with hyatt. 58 years ago, hyatt was born in San Francisco and in the bay area. Our first was in los angeles airport and sfo. I believe in the luxury hotel on the property at the sfo airport a port are popular, for Leisure Travel and business and groups. On Airport Hotels, offer the more compelling benefits to the counter parts and most notably the convenience and the time and money savings for the customers and just being steps away from their gate. And additionally, the Perfect Place for meetings, and travelers have meetings dining and accommodation facilities in the local community, where they can draw upon for clients in the region and in the local community and also tremendous benefit for the airlines, the airlines, are highly motivated to take, extraordinary care of their premium customers. This is a vital key, when convenience and quality and lodging and food and beverage. And in the last 29 years, there are no Luxury Hotels added and the existing Properties Meet for the mid market customers. The proposed hotel will compliment the services that they currently provide. Ylly located, between sil con valley and San Francisco, this is expected to satisfy the demand for convenience and luxury. And operates 3, and that will be the time if you want to wrap it up. Three on air hotel and two regencies and a grand hyatt and perform at a 50 percent premium in the quarter parts in the local market and bfw runs at 70 percent, and we be proud to be working together with sfo to operate a property that if approved will be one of the great hotels in the world. Thank you. Could i ask mr. Seers could you clarify the number of diamonds or the number of stars of the hyatt airport. There is the expression that it is a three star, and Everything Else is promoted to customers but on the website it says 4 star. I think that the information that you must have is old legacy pages from the internet. And like mr. Martin said. This hotel is three, and it has been for some time. Even though they are going through what seems like a large renovation, it is not the expectation that that will change that. So we are three star, three diamond. Thank you, for that clarification. Next speaker please . Good morning, i am with the Fairmont Hotels and look after the interest in california and lived and worked here for the past eight years. I have been involved in the rfp process for the Airport Hotel and i agree with mr. Sears says relative the hotel being a luxy hotel for San Francisco and i also want john martin to fulfill his dream of having that will you besing are hotel at the airport. However i want to caution the budget xhiltty, relative to the performance of the hotel, why in the Dynamic Market in, all hotels will perform well. Once you see a down turn, you will see that the two hotels in a close proximity as the two hyatts are that is a negative impact on the financial over all performance for the hotel. Instead of just saying it ourselves we have retained wake field to do an independent study and you should have that or i will be pleased to provide that for you. The rates in the city for the hyatt is 277 and todays dollars, as the fairmont, San Francisco will finish at 350, this physical year. And we believe that the point spread, which was less than 2 percent, the four diamond, according to whatever google told me. I have a i am respect, and he is one of the finest airport directors in the country, but sometimes people of who i respect i disagree with and here i have a disagreement for vains, the rfp had the restriction and the process should respect that. The contracts that a radius restriction, but it exempts the hotel down the road. If what we want is a luxy hotel at the airport that says San Francisco, what hotel would better do that, than the fairmont . Thank you. Thank you, next speaker please . Good morning, i am dr. Church well and i serve as at Vice President of the African American chamber of commerce, the African American, commerce represents over 300 minority businesss in San Francisco. I am sorry, would you mind just pulling the mic a little bit closer. Can you hear me now . Okay. Okay. Okay, San Francisco and the American Chamber respected over, 300 minority businesss in San Francisco as a representative of these businesses, we asked seth for the airport Hotel Management agreement. The airport does well in terms of diversity in construction, industry, but. It is horrible, record, in terms of construction, and lbe, Small Businesses, and who provide, professional services. And the out migration, of African Americans in other includes, a significant, number of Small Businesses, who deserve a shot to stay in the game. The bid specifications in the rpf do not call for lbe, Small Businesses, inclusions. The board has been diligent in insuring the equity in the San Francisco, area. And we trust that you will be just as diligent in supporting the San Francisco, lbe minority efforts towards, professional services including, and at the airport. Please, reissue, the rpf, to include emphasis on lbes, minority professional services, thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please . Good morning, my name is kemo, burtrum and i work on the Development Team for hyatt hotels. I wanted to respond to some of your questions about how we can successfully. The most Successful Hotel companies, establish broad distribution across them, that they seek the optionals based on the trip they are taking this is how they establish the relevance and durbility in the industry. We believe that hyatt has struck the right balance while being broadly distributed and distribute and houptful about how we develop the hotels in a trade area. By example, in 2014, the grand hyatt brand, achieved over a 70 dollar, average daily rate, to the hyatt brand, clearly establishing a distinction between the quality and Service Levels between those two brands. Another example is the hotels at the dfw. We operate a grand hyatt and both on Airport Hotels. The average daily rate premium for the grand hyatt is over, 100 dollars. By following a disciplined strategy we are able to effectively accommodate our own turn away demand and cross cell in the market and gaining a deeper connection with our guests. The customer that attends a large, Group Meeting at the hyatt recentcy will choose it for the meeting or individual corporate stay. The last thing that i will say is hyatt is recognized as the largest operate ner asian. Good morning i am the consultant from cushman and wake field, and i have 30 years of doing Hotel Feasibility and Market Studies and hotels and particularly in the bay area. I was asked by fairmont to take a look at the airport market to see what the potential operation would be of the properties in the performance relative to the Airport Hotel. And in looking at this market, my study became nuanced because as everyone has attested to besinger the market is very strong right now. Occupancy in the low 80s, and it is clear that there is need for additional rooms that hotels are turning away demand half the nights of the year. The question is what happens in a down turn and we have seen in the bay area, that this has been dramatic effect in at least the first couple of years after an event, whether it is economic or natural. We have seen, where occupancy tends to shift, dramatically in days or weeks or month and the. Inger rate is discounted by operators to makeup for some of that demand. And so the question is, what happens when there is more than one property in the market and how do they relate to each other . Managing contracts put in the protection clauses, and among the brands and it is something that should be of concern to an owner, and these kinds of clauses are put in for the owners protection and not necessarily for the operators and something that would be considered a greater risk if there are more rooms, operated by a brand in a market. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please . Good morning, supervisors, my name is Eloise Patten i am a life long San Francisco resident and an aspiring Small Business owner. I come in support of the African American chamber of commerce goal to achieving lbe business, professional Service Contracts at the airport. As dr. Church well stated the airport does well with diversity, in the Construction Industry. And we are asking for equal opportunity in securing professional services contracts. Reissuing the rfp with an equitable requirement for the Services Just as the Construction Industry receives will level the Playing Field for Small Business, we are not asking for a hand out. We are simply asking for an opportunity to compete. And to compete, equitablely. I respectfully respect that the rfp be reissued to include, the specification that promote, inclusion, thank you. Thank you very much. Are there any other members of the public who wish to comment on items one through three . Seeing none, i am going to close Public Comment. Before we go to our budget analyst report. I apologize that i skipped over that earlier. I just wanted to see if someone from the sfo team can respond to the Public Comments, mostly regarding the Hotel Feasibility study that was done by cushman wake field and i am sure that they have seen that already in terms of what happens during the economic down turn seeing if you can address that issue and how it was considered in the rfp process. We have our team of consultants that analyzed this too and before i asked the nor to report on a more detailed level on that. Do i want to emphasize again, the protection we have 35 percent, that the hyatt has a larger number of frequent guests and the frequent guest Register Program and we followed a process. That city process, and the highest scoring firm of negotiating the best deal possible for the city. And i am confident that this is a very good deal for the city. And i want to make sure that i think that this 4 star, is a red herring. If you type in fairmont seattle, five star, fairmont shows up it is a 4 star hotel, very fine hotel. The website is correct. But they still legacy information on the web, that shows the five star hotel. So i just frankly find that not right, it is clearly, ired herring and it is a discussion, and so i asked nwar to talk more further about the market analysis. Yes, our hospitality consultant, jll who are nationally and internationally recognized hospitality experts, conducted two studies, one was in 2012, and they did an updated study which was completed in october of this year. Both studies clearly indicated that there is more than sufficient, demand to meet the addition of over, 350 room, four Diamond Hotel in the market. And as mentioned earlier, the current market is doing, 80 percent. That means, that you have a 1 in 5 chance of getting a room at sfo so there is an extreme need for Highend Hotels in that market. San francisco needs more hotel rooms. And the fact that it will be a grand hyatt, is a great thing, because it is so different from a hyatt recentcy and i would like to highlight there is a technical difference between the two brands, Hyatt Regency as a company they usually franchise out their properties. Grand hyatt is always managed by hyatt. And in the industry, the difference between franchised properties and managed properties, is very, high in the favor of those which are managed. So, grand hyatt if general and as the folks from hyatt have mentioned there is a significant average daily room rate differential between a Hyatt Regency and the grand hyatt. And stress testing and we have done detailed stress testing in the case of economic shock. We assume that there will be the aoe equivalent 2008 crisis and tested the cash plows and how much it will drop and what the impact would be. And we usually have in place a mechanism of reserves operating reserves, to cover any deficits or shortfalls. So we are covered in that regard. So i dont think that the fact that, the hyatt recentcy in the market will have any impacts on the grand hyatt or vice versa, it is such a deep market, that location is a developers dream. In terms of location, in terms of visibility. And again, as i mentioned, sfo, is under the director john martins leadership. We are going to go from 50 million passengers to 70 million, that is a tremendous amount of people. And if you have a 350 room hotel, and you want to fill it at 80 percent, it is something very easy to do. And the issue of whether it is a Hyatt Regency or the grand hyatt, again, the fact that it is a grand hyatt is a huge advantage because it is in a different niche and a different Market Segment and it will withstand economic shocks because of the location and the strength of the brand. And all of that has been dress addressed in the Feasibility Study by jll. Anything else that director martin wanted to add to that. Actually. Supervisor mar, could i just ask you, stress testing is when there is an economic down turn and how, pricing and everything, is going to be impacted . Is that what stress testing is . Or what is stress testing . Thank you. Thank you, at this time, i am actually go to go to our budget analyst report, mr. Rose in thank you, item one, which is the Management Agreement, on page 4, we report that under this Management Agreement, the airport will pay an annual fixed fee to the Hyatt Corporation to operate the hotel and that is shown on the table on taij four of the report and that Management Fee, totals as mr. Martin indicated, 19 million over the ten year turn and will be required to make the contribution towards the construction of the hotel and the 5 million and that source of the net fee payments to the hyatt of 14 million. We do recommend that you approve that resolution. And now, recording that item two and three. The over all operations and the total debt, service over the year is estimated at 466 million. And that is shown in attachment one, and on page, ten of our report. And the total debt, service could be higher if Interest Rates, exceed the estimated Interest Rate of up to 3. 18 percent. And on page, ten of our report we do show the sources and uses of the funds and that is shown in table 5 of our report. Supervisors, regarding this discussion about the slow down in the economy, we do note that on page eleven of our report, a slow down in the economy will result in the hotel to meet the hotel estimates of occupancy rate. For example, the hotel rates, fell to 58. 2 percent in 2002, following a,. Com bubble. And however, we also note on the bottom of page eleven of our report, under the lease and use agreement between the airport and the airlines, the airport has the authority to increase the landing terminal fees, charged to the airlines, to meet its operating expenses including, annual debt service on outstanding general airport, Revenue Bonds. We do recommend that you approve the proposed resolution and ordinance. Thank you very much. Any questions for our budget analyst . Okay. So we had open and closed Public Comment and now the item is in the hands of the committee. I would just say that for me in looking at this project, first of all unrelated to any of the Hotel Representatives who are here today. I think that it is great that the airport is building a hotel after all of these years. I think that it will really serve a population that does need this, or right by the airport. I do like the idea that the airport was very you know, forward thinking in terms of trying to finance this. So that we are actually able to hang on to the lapped in the future. I think that is a really great idea. And so, then, ultimately, really for me it came down to whether i believe that it was a fair process that the airport engaged in this endeavor to figure out, which hotel brand would be operating this or managing this hotel at the airport. And through the briefings that i received and some Additional Information here today, i do believe it was a fair process. So, i would actually support moving forward, items 1 through 3, today but i will be, or like to hear from my colleagues, supervisor mar. Thank you. I wanted to thank, mr. Martin and staff for walking me through the process. I still have questions about the process, but i am not going to second guess, mr. Martin and the Airport Commission. I am still not clear what crisis or stress testing is, verses the finding of the kushman wake field report, but i will let that go and try to understand it some point in the future. I was considering urging moving this forward without recommendation, you about i am going to defer to mr. Martin and support the recommendation. I think that we have a motion to move forward items one to three through the full board and seconded by mar and without objection items one to three will move to the full board. Thank you very much for being here today and i think that we can welcome our chair back, supervisor fabe. Will you call, item four . Resolution, retroactively, authorizing the Rec Department to accept and expend grounds up to the 10 million, for the trust of the public land, for the performing arts piazza. Thank you. We have park and rec to speak on this. Good morning, my name is caren and i am a project manager with the Parks Department and i am joined by chelsa from the public land and nathan, also from the recreation and partnerships division. This gift, represents over, 10 Million Dollars and will make these play grounds, new and truly special place in the heart of our neighborhoods. This project, is, i can show a powerpoint, if you want to see more images of the project, but i didnt know how much time that you would have. It is okay without pictures . Maybe you can show it while you are talking. And i can turn the overhead on. Because i do it that way. That might be quick. So this is the existing playground. I am just going to show quickly the final, vision. But, any way, again, the project is a very successful and continuation of two important partnerships that we have as a department and both our partnership with the public land and the helen family foundation. This is the picture of the north playground and we have new, larger play structure and a lot more fun and inviting for the kids and families in the area. Wow, there is a reason why we use power points now. This is a picture of some of the details of some of those structures i hope that you can see that they will be much more inventive and have an opportunity, for climbing, and for kids that i think that a lot of our play grounds, have not offered as much. And here is the south, they will have areas for young and her older users of the play grounds and these concepts were developed in coordination, with the xhupt. And we had over 14 community, meetings and workshops led by the team at the public land again, this project was made possible through the incredible, generosity of the helen family foundation. And these current play grounds, they are over, 20 years old, and they could really use this renovation. The play grounds serve the tender loin, and also they play a large role in the whole city, civic life. As they are served by many, local residents, they are also served by many, local daycare centers. And kids, and local kids, and school children, visiting the surrounding attractions like the main library. And the Asian Art Museum and the San Francisco ballet and on any given day, actually the children that you see, are coming not just from our city, but sometimes, very far away. And one other thing that i wanted to add is that the out reach that we did we got to know, many, many of the local groups, but one of the really amazing groups and individuals that we got to know was wilson who, is the executive director at the bay area, womans and Childrens Center who got the play grounds built in the first place in that location and that allows us to renovate them today there are not too many cities ta have a playground, in the middle of the civic center, and it is special to provide, for the adult and children in San Francisco. I will just show you a couple more images if you have more questions, i am happy to provide more information. Thank you, and i appreciate that and i am just a kick thing in terms of timing on this, how long is the construction time line is we think that it is going to be close to and we hope for next summer and sometimes those things vary, but we are trying to do it as quickly as we can. Just in time for my youngest kindergarten trip to city hall. Thank you for presenting. Supervisor mar. Yeah, thank you. I love those two play grounds and i have fond memories with my daughter playing there with her. And i did have a question they are unique, because safety as a parent and it is an issue with lots of men that are without kids that are around and will wander in and as a parent, i am just wondering how design helps us not keep family and people away, but also, has some sense of safety, so that you can see your child, from the bench. Or the gates are effective so the kids cannot wander on the dangerous streets around it but those are questions that i have in the design. Yes, so i will try and quickly answer them if i can. So we have definitely heard those concerns, from parents, and we need to make sure that the design is as safe as possible. And we are moving the playgrounds closer away from the edge of the street. We do continue to have, gates, so that, the kids cant just, you know, run into traffic, or away from the safe area. And visibility is really important, and so, all of the trees and the plantings are created in such a way that actually the people will be able to see in and out of the playground better. Right now, you can kind of and it can feel hidden and that is one thing that we are also trying to do but those are all really important things that we try to include in the design. And i could see how, it is framed as a performing arts playground and it can really, i love the sounds that come out of the play grounds but this sounds like it will make it more activating for the whole area, but great, great, presentation, and i am really supportive, thank you. Thank you. Colleagues any further questions . Seeing none we will move on to Public Comment. Anybody wish to comment oit on item four . Good morning, lang from supervisor kims office, district six has the fewest and smallest parks in the city and so we are so happy to support these newly renovated play grounds for our residents. Thank you. Anyone else wish to comment in anything none, Public Comment is closed. Again this is great and i cant wait to see it. And thanks for all of your work on this and look forward to seeing the reality. With that, colleagues, into i entertain a motion to move this forward . Motion by supervisor mar and take that without objection. Could you call item five . Ordinance amending the administrative code to establish the navigation partnerships fund. We have sam, to speak on this item, the director of hope. Thank you, supervisors it is an honor to be here today, and you know, last year, at this time, there was no Navigation Center. And this was just a hope and today, you know, over, 250 people, have been able to take advantage of the Navigation Center. 75 percent of the exits have been permanent housing. And we are just really proud, and why, did we, able to do that much progress from april, to today . How were we able to stand up, in the Navigation Center from january to april, is all that it took us. And real answer to that is that we got a donation that came through the San Francisco, inner faith, council. And that allowed us to work, quickly, and efficiently. And that, helped to lefage all of our city efforts. You know what we do at the Navigation Center is that what we do to work between the city and the department of public works and the Police Department and the Human Services agency. And the department of public health. And our nonprofit partners and ecs. And mission neighborhood, Resource Center has been amazing there. And this Navigation Center fund is to continue that work. And to really encourage people that are excited about making advancements and how we engage with people. And camped in our streets. And how we humanely worked towards permanent housing with people, and experiencing homelessness in the most dire conditions. And we have been able to free, some city money from the Human Services agency. And who we really want to, partner with people, that see this as the right way to go forward. And have the means to be able to contribute to these efforts. And that is what the Navigation Center, fund, can do for us. Right now, the mayors fund for the homeless, was the way that we were able to accept the donation. And when there have been fires and people have been able to make donations through it. And we were able to get them quickly to the families in need. The mayors fund for the homeless, of course, could be used and continue to be used in this manner for the Navigation Center and we want to say that this is a little bit of a separate fund that is purely dedicated to where it is expanding the out comes of the Navigation Center towards moving people out of encampments and into the stable housing. And so with that. Thank you very much, and thank you for all of your hard work. Much appreciated. Colleagues if know questions, at this time, we will move on. Supervisor mar. Sam i was wondering, the budget analyst had a recommendation to change from category four, fund or from the category 8 fund, to a category four fund and there were a couple of different recommendations what do you think i want to move dynamickly and report back to you and be accountable you and that is part of the spirit of this effort is to really be there and to really try to access everyones good advance, i just want to make sure that we were able to act dynamickly as possible and so that is my own concern. About changing the type of fund it is. Okay. Seeing none, we will move on to our budget analyst report. Mr. Rose. Mr. Chairman, and members of the committee on page 17 of our report, we note that given that it is difficult to predict the publics willingness to donate to this proposed navigation Partnership Fund, the future allegations and expenditures cannot be accurately projected. On page 18 of our report, we note that the mayor has 17 special funds specified in the citys code, including a mayors fund for the home sxls that is shown, as i say on page, 18. And we note that the mayors existing fund for the homeless states funds which are donated for a specific project for the homeless, shall be expended only for that project. Such that if future donors wish to donate the funds, specifically to the Navigation Services for the homeless, the mayors fund for the homeless already, allows for that option. We also note that the proposed ordinance does not require any reporting of contributions or donations and the uses of the fund to the board of supervisors. And on page, 19, of our report, as supervisor mar just indicated the proposed ordinance will create the new, navigation, Partnership Fund as a category eight fund which not be subject to the appropriation approval, by the board of supervisor and so the recommendation on bottom of page, 19, is that you amend to report, at least, annually to the board of supervisors on the private donations and the gifts and money, and to expenditures from the proposed new navigation Partnership Fund and secretarily, we state that if the board of supervisors wants to have the appropriation authority for the new navigation Partnership Fund, we recommend that you amend to be a category four, instead of a category eight, and we consider approval for the proposed ordinance to be the decision for the board of supervisors because, you will not have appropriation authority under this legislation. Okay. Thank you very much. Mr. Rose. Colleagues any questions for our budget analyst . Okay. Seeing none, we will open this up to Public Comment . Anybody wish to comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. So colleagues, before we get to the bla recommendations, i do have one, request. And this is just striking a phrase in the subsection, b and we want to strike the last five words in the current fiscal year. Could i entertain a motion to accept that change . So moved. Okay. Motion by supervisor tang and we can take that without objection. As it relates to the bla recommendations. Personally i think that item number, or the first regular daysing, regarding the reporting makes a ton of sense and i would love to be updated here, as supervisors in this committee and i do take heed to what mr. Dodge mentioned, especially in this arena, we need to be able to act quickly. And so i would be, okay. Keeping it, as a category, 8 fund and that is my perspective. Supervisor, taning. I too, originally asked, you know, why we cant use the existing Homeless Fund through the Mayors Office but i understand, especially the inception of the Navigation Center was started by a large, private donation, anonymous one, 2 million i believe. And so that i think that it, and it is fair for this, generous donor or any future ones to expect that the city would need to demonstrate that we are are also contributing funds, to support, homeless, services. So, i am okay with this category 8 fund to give you the flexibility that you need to better address the issues that we are dealing with in San Francisco. And also, support the idea of amending in the reporting requirement to the board each year. Supervisor mar . And i support the recommendation, i support sam dodge and his staff as well and i really look forward to even, expanding the great work that you are doing. Okay, thank you, supervisor mar and then could i entertain a motion to accept the budget analyst, recommendation and the underlying item as amended . So moved. Motion by mar, and we can take that without objection. Okay, clerk could you call item six . Ordinance appropriate ating deaappropriate ating approximately, 9. 4 million, consisting of 9 million from Revenue Bonds for proceeds, parking garage project to support the radio replacement project and 438,000 from the series, 2013, bonds for the projects to pedestrian projects for fiscal year, 15, 16. Okay. Thank you very much. We have the mta here. Good morning, members of the committee. I am derek, and sfmta and capitol finance. This series, 2014, mta Revenue Bonds were issued in december of 2014. In must be spent down in three years by december of 2017. Of the 29 million, in series, 2014, funds appropriate ated for parking garage, projects it has been determined that 9 million of the funds will not be able to be spent down in the three year window. We are requesting to deappropriate and reappropriate, is proteblgt, and now, 11. 6, Million Dollars, due to a budget increase, resulting from a contract modification. The contract modification, includes relocation of a radio based station from south hill, to Bay View Park adding mobile, data terminal devices to fline vehicles. And adding gps to on board, closed Circuit Television recorders and new automated system, the radio, replacement project is expected to spend down all series, 2014, funds in the three year window and be completed next september. Additionally, in series, 2013, bonds need to be reappropriated, from transit, to the pedestrian, Improvement Program to maintain the same level of funding within the Pedestrian Program. In the prior, series 2012 bbond issue, 437,000 previouslial ial low gated was re, allocated. The improvements are coordinated with the street repaving project and the paving schedule was delayed. Because of daoet lay, the b funds were redirected to the sunset tunnel rehabilitation in order to spend db the funds in the three year window. Now, series, 2013, bond funds originally for the sunset tunnel, must be reappropriated to the Pedestrian Program to keep the program funded at the same level. Because this is a funding swap between two series, the redirection of the series, 2013, funds will have no net impacts olt over all funding for the Transit Program. Okay. Thank you very much. Colleagues, seeing no questions, mr. Rose, could we go to your report, please . Yes, mr. Chairman and members of the committee, on page, 25 of our report, we note that the radio, system replacement project, total budget will increase by 11. 6 million from the current budget of 116. 5 million and the revised of 128. 1 million and of the increase and 9 million will be funded by the request of the reappropriation, and the bond, proceeds and 2. 6 million, will be funded by the transit operation.

Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, could i have a motion to send, 25 forward to the full board . So moved. Motion by supervisor tang, we can take that without objection. Could you call, 26, please . Item, 26, is a resolution, approving executed master license, agreement between the city and the system, and the mobile net of california, and ver izon wireless, and of the communications and on the equipment, and the mta. Good morning, supervisors, sfmta. Here today to discuss, three policy considerations within the resolution. That you have before you. The first is the resolution approval, and one is mobile net, gte known as ver izon. The rationale for us coming forward today, because is in our recent assessment of what the revenue projections will be, we will recognize a Million Dollars in the city and, that being said, that requires us to come to the board, for approval, to carry on with these agreements. Other considerations, within the resolution that you have today. Is to delegate, authority to our director of transportation, to enter into these future agreements with any and all, future carriers, and the third, consideration is just, approval of our form, and the master license, agreement and now with respect to the budget and legislative analyst respect. We are in full concur ans, and certainly we agree with our find ands our analysis and any amendments that are recommended by the budget analyst. And we, certainly accept. So, if there are any other questions, relative to the resolution, i am here today, to answer them for you. And in addition to that, we have omar, from the Planning Department, who can also, address any questions that you might have, relative to design, if you line. Thank you, supervisor, tang. Thank you. Thank you for your presentation, and so, i think that i read that sfmta owns, about 10,000 polls, we have a vast market yes. So under, the retroactive agreement that is up before us today as well as moving forward about how many of those polls are going to be used roughly. We are projecting, 362 polls. Yes. I really just, not really about, these particular sites or your contract, but i do want to thank, the carriers of the companies for working with our city and our Planning Department, especially in terms of trying to figure out the Better Designs for where they should be placed. I know that our city has little jurisdiction when it comes to where in terms of approving these permits and the most that we can do has to do with design, and so do i want to encourage our city to really, work with these companies and the companies to work with us in turn, on trying to locate, some of these antennas in places that are not so intrusive in front of a pole or in front of someones house, i like that we are trying to utilize the public, city propertis that will not intrude so much on the private residents and because i want to thank omar and the Planning Department, because i know that there is a lot of work trying to be done so that we can find out the design to blend in better with our city. Absolutely. Supervisor, mar . I just have a question, so there are 10,000 poles and right now, there is more revenue coming in than was expected and then there are 29 poles and 21 poles, for one of the other companies, and but you mentioned 350 poles that you are expecting and how soon will that happen. We are anticipating roughly, within the term of the agreements, for the most part. So, the way that we look at it is although that it is a nine year, agreement, we think that the actual implementation and construction on our poles would occur in the next three years. And then what is the projected revenue, to the mta that that would bring in. Well the projected revenue, is 13. 5 million. Yes. I want to thank, omar to keeping my office aware of a lot of the tricky, design community, input, processes, and how little in some ways, the influence that we have locally over some of the issues like this but i did want to ask, as supervisor, tang mentioned design, i know that with new technology, it allows us to replace the ugly, noisy cabinets that i see all over, i know that my district and other districts, and looking at, new technologies that are cleaner, and quieter, and smarter. But i am just wondering if you can address that. Because, sfmta as well as sfpuc is acting as a authority as a pole owner, we have discretion of design, and compatible and the initial sight that the built and the new technologies come along and remain, compatible and ver izon, started to install, the first of 400 sites last week and they are small and noiseless and they blended it well into the districts and they have the support of the commission and so with sites like these, we have the ability to insure that they are compatible and provide, Robust Service and we have enough poles to support the carriers, and looking at bridging the digital divide, and they may come on the hor izon and so i want to acknowledge that they have been a great partner in working with us. You know, first and foremost is making sure that the poles can safely hold up the electrical lines for the light rail and buses. These have to be for the primary purpose and we have the discussion with the engineers making sure that the design that came in was redestiend and met the standards for overhead lines for sfmta safe operations. Can either of you just explain the rush to the super bowl and how that is going to impact the Rapid Deployment of a lot of these poles. It is, obviously it is a high priority for the carriers to enhance, cell service down that super bowl, area. And with that being said, those are the and we talk about the 362, and the high priority, sites are obviously in that general area. Yes, they are moving diligently, to install as quickly as possible. Thank you. Supervisor tang . Thank you, supervisor, mar. I had forgotten to ask about the super bowl, issue, because i know that there is going to be a rush for that. However, after the super bowl, festivities are o efr, we are planning to keep these up there any way. And the company had decided. Yes. That is the intent. Okay. And also there was mention that your currently in negotiationwise afor additional. They are not part of the agreements that we have right now. So any new agreement coming forward, they will typically exceed a Million Dollars, so we will be coming forward each and every time with the new agreements to this body and to the full board, eventually. All right, thank you very much, and i would say that that is all of my questions, but you know the message to the carriers, and the companies, please please please to continue working with the city, on locations and signs. Thank you. Colleagues. With that mr. Rose, could we go to your report, please . On page 31 of our report, as just as been indicated, sfmta projects receiving 13. 5 million of revenue, from the 3 wireless, tele Communication Companies over the remaining eight years of the existing terms and that is based on the estimated number of transit poles for each, and that is shown in table two on page, 31 of our report and you note, the demand of 132, and gte, 132 poles, and the 1200 poles. And, we did point out that ongoing, or a contract, which is right now, in negotiations with at t, which will provide the city, with an additional 2. 7 million, and that is what the estimate is. We cited that as one of the reasons why we believe that the board of supervisors should approve and see each one of these contracts, and not delegate authority to the director, as i understand it as the department concurs with that on that. And so, we stated on the top of page, 32, that this legislation, would authorize that delegation and authority, and we also, note that, our, recommendations on the bottom of page 32, we recommend that you amend to provide approval of the master license agreements as of september, 22, 2014, mobile, and the ver izon, as of november, 30, 2014, and mobility and we recommend that you recommend the proposed resolution, to delete the future Approval Authority of the master license agreements to the director of transportation, rather than requiring the future approval by the board of supervisors if the revenue is to be generated exceed, 1 million and we recommend that au prove it as amended. Thank you very much, mr. Rose. Supervisor, do you have questions . Colleagues any other questions for our budget analyst. Okay . We will open this up to Public Comment and anybody wish to comment on item 26 . Step forward. Hi, my name is leor marco and i am here to represent, sfaction tha, stands for San Francisco ad volunteer indicates for Cellular Technology in our neighborhoods. Today i will be speaking in support of these agreements. First of all these agreements are pretty identical to the puc pole attachment agreements that you guys have already approved. So i see no reason why these agreements would not be passed as well. But it is really important that you do pass them. Because San Francisco has a pretty deficient mobile communication insfra structure right now, i work in the city and i pay sales tax. And as it stands, it is nearly impossible to have my cell phone work during rush hour. My data speeds to a crawl and my phone is useless. I would say, 30 percent of the day. I have dead spots in service and it is not unusual to have a few, interrupted calls during the day as you are aware. This is an incredibly low standard of service and i think that San Francisco, deserves a lot better. And if we dont, up date our infrastructure it is only going to get worse as the cellular needs, of the popular increases. And it is just not, you know, it is not just like me who want to keep in touch with their friends. This is an issue for a lot of residents in the city, especially the elderly and the handicapped who depend on their phone service for their safety. And many people, no longer with land lines and rely on their cell phones, in time of an emergency. Having the cell phone reception can be a matter of lifeanddeath in the event of a serious accident or an emergency and personally, i communicate with my bosses on my cell phone and i do research and set up meetings because i know that i am not anomoly thousands of people use their phones for this as well, there are economic implications for having the cell phone service. As you know, they are economic, applications for the city as well. Thank you, very much maam. Any other members of the public. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We have a few amendments suggested by the budget analyst. I will move the amendments and then i move support by the committee as amended. Okay. Motion by supervisor mar and we can take that without objection. Madam clerk, could you call, item 27. Ordnance authorizing the sfmta to include in the contract it executes for the brokerage for the excess, para Transit Program after issuing a competitive solicitation and required the contractor, to pay, the wages to driver, and reservation, and providing for the Access Program and to provide, transitional employment and retention to the prior, contract and the employee performing such services. Thank you very much. We have the puc here to speak. No. Sfmta. I jumped ahead. Share man, anet, williams, from services at smfmta. We have the order thans that requires that all contractors that propose on the rfp, include the wages and benefits for the sf access drivers and dispatchers and reservations. And this was requested by the Union Employees who are represented here today to provide the assurances that if there is a change in contractor they will receive the benefits negotiated in the collective par beginning agreement. And i believe that it provides a fair, Playing Field where all contractors will be required to propose the prevailing benefit packages and will assure that any successful contractor will be able to retain, the experienced personnel that is serving our customers with disabilities. And i am available to answer any questions that you moit have about the ordinance. Okay. Thank you very much. Seeing no questions right now mr. Rose, we will move on to your report. Yes, mr. Chairman, and members of the committee, on page, 37, our report, we report that based on excuse me, the requirement to pay for the wages are the proposed ordinance is expected to result in wages that are significantly higher than the current budget and the current sfmta budget for sfaccess, para transit and the employee wages of 5. 7 million will increase in 16, 17, by 564,000, or 9. 8 percent to 6. 3, million and then in the 17, 18, the budget will increase by 961,000, or 67 percent to 6. 7 million and that is shown in table three on page 37 of our report. We also state that if the proposed ordinance is approved, it will significantly increase sfmta cost to provide, ongoing, Transit Service and likely to reduce the number of responses to the sfmta so listtation and therefore, the competitiveness of the rfp process, and the language appears to significantly advantage the existing contractor, and the services inc because the existing contractor has the advantage of already providing the existing sfmta para transit, employing the same employees who any new contractor will be required to retain under the new contract. And we consider approval to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors. Thank you, colleagues any questions or comments . Okay, we will move on to you believe comment. I do have two cards, alecon and woods, if there are other people, line up and everyone will have two minutes. Good morning, supervisors, my name is efron and i am the current, junior, representative, representing all of these workers, and we are here to ask you and urge you to please support this to make sure that these workers should another provider come along. And be awarded this contract, that these workers are retained, and they continue to perform the work. And that their compensation, package along with the cpa follows with them. In the past, this contract has gone from nv to transmetro to mobility to back to mb and now it is in the hand of transf, and at one given point we have one that worked on to work for muni and this gentleman, went from making 16 on one friday and the new provider took over the following week and he suffered a 3 cut in pay. We want to make sure that there are no roll backs and the members are protected to the fullest. Thank you, very much. Next speaker, please . Good morning, board of supervisors my name is ashante woods and i am a dispatcher for the division and i am also the shop store for the nondrivers unit and i am urging you to pass this order. To protect the workers as well as the compensation package should another provider be awarded this contract on behalf of the para transit workers we would like to thank the board of supervisors to getting to where we are now thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. My name is stewart and i would like to say, that it is important to pass it because we dont need a high turnover, because it effects the safety of the clients. That is it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker. My mame is lisa capezi and i worked for para transit for almost, nine years and it is important for this to pass. Please. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Anybody else wish to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, any questions, this is a policy consideration and any questions or comments or motions . Mar . Yeah, i just wanted to thank the shop stewarts and the para transit, drivers, and really it is an important issue and i am glad that supervisor campos is working with you to insure that your rights are protected and i wanted to thank the budget analyst for his recommendations in the policy consideration. But i am supportive of this as proposed. Okay. Is that a motion . And i move support for the item, yes. We have a motion by supervisor mar and we can take it without objection. Madam clerk, could you call 28. 28, is an ordinance conditionally authorizing the San Francisco puc to enter into one or more agreements requiring expenditures of 10 million or more for the electric power and related products and service to launch the citys community, choice ago agree gaysing, fram and clean power, sf and authorizing the general manager of the sfpuc to deviate from the otherwise requirements in the city law in such agreements. We have barbara from the puc. Thank you, and thank you, supervisors for expediting consideration of this matter and the budget, analyst staff as well and for their work to support that schedule. As you know, we are moving quickly towards launch of our clean power, sf program in the spring of 2016, a fundamental part of that program is to procure the electric supply to serve the program customers.
