We move forward to construction there are a few steps to get there. This is a new requirement of the Tax Credit Allocation Committee to demonstrate site control. We would come back before you for the final terms of the ground lease if and the remainder of the Gap Financing in the next several months with. That i would like pamela sims to walk you through the background on the project and the specific terms for this option. Thank you. I dont think the mic is on. A subdued mood. Energy conversation.

Pardon me, Commission Secretary, our screens are a bit small. I dont know if anything can be dub to adjust the powerpoint centerings. Good afternoon. Excellent. Chairperson rosales, commissioners. Im pamela simms. Im here to present on item 5c. So the sponsor can demonstrate site control of Mission Bay South block six east to both of california debt Limitation Committee and the Tax Credit Allocation Committee. Keep going maybe you can. Okay. A little higher will. Then if you have questions i will answer them. Okay background points for you. On september 17th, 1998, the then San FranciscoRedevelopment AgencyCommission Approved the mission bay north and south redevelopment plans and owner participation agreements or opas they allow up to 6350 market rate Housing Units and 1700 affordable Housing Units to be developed in the mission bay area. As today 821 affordable units have been constructd in mission bay north and south. 672 in mission bay north and 149 unit at 1184 street at Mission Bay South. Another 200 units at 588 mission bay north or block 7 west is under construction and 244 units are in predevelopment. A few words about how we got to this point. In may of 2014oci staff released an rfq for the development of block six east from a team comprised of a non profit Housing Developmenter, architect, property manager and service provider. In july 2014 the tenderloin Development Corporation team was selected by a inter Disciplinary Panel to develop block six east. Then in august 20, 15, the commission condition approved the Schematic Design for the project. The project summary includes 142 units of affordable rental housing plus one manager unit. 114 or 80 percent of the aoupts rented horented to households a medium income. 29 or 20 of units will be available to formally chronic homeless households. There will be Core Services and after School Literacy programming to School Age Children in a retail space to help in the activation of the Fourth Street retail frontage and contribute to the Service Provision for resident departments. The balance of the 9730 square feet of retail space will be leased to commercial provide with the goal of benefiting the surrounding community. The project will be developed using green or sustainable building strategy. The parking ratio is approximately. 25 to 1. In compliance with the Mission Bay Development design for Development Guidelines for 41 off Street Parking spaces. 34 for residents. 5 for commercial, and two car share spaces. Plus there is, there is parking for 136 bicycles. This parking is in line with the citys transit first policy. Also the project is one block from the mission rock muni light rail station for the t third. Additionally the project received a state of california calf Housing DevelopmentAffordable Housing and sustainable communities or hcdosic award of approximately 5 million based on the lower parking ratio. Also as you can see the project again block six east is located to various neighborhood amenities including medical care, grocery, grocery shopping, banks, coffee shops and eateries. All easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. So, while a permanent financing request is coming to you this summer its important to note the project is augmenting the oci funding with low Income Housing tax credits, affordable funds, tax exempt bonding and other funds. The city will provide local operating sub sid dee funds to support the units set aside for chronically homeless households. Marketing, specifically marketing requirements are included in the permanent loan agreement. Preference holders, the sponsor will be required to row vied or work with a city approved access to Housing Organization to provide landlord tenant relations, tenant counselings and housing right sessions. Rental readiness, financial and eviction prevention workshops and assistant application assistance. Also the sponsor will provide the commission with a report outlining the compliance with the cops prior to the tenant selection process. Now, the reason that were here today is for your authorization for the executive director to enter into an option to ground lease to demonstrate ground control, a new requirement. The option allows staffs to negotiate the terms of the ground lease including a 75 year term and one 24year option. The tenant is responsible for all property taxes and assessments. The ami can go no hao euer than 50 percent. The rent 15,000 and residual rent. Tenants are responsible for maintenance. May secure any necessary loans. The tenant can only sell if sub lease can transfer to a sponsor affiliate. Finally the executive director may approve a extension at the end of the term to her discretion. Today the date the developer has achieved 54 Small Business participation for Small Business, exceeding the goal of 50 . The breakdown is 39 percent sbe, 4. 4nbe and 11 wbe. In march 2014th this was a proposal process and nibby was brothers was picked for the general contractor. They will have 50 percent of the sbe during the construction face. The schedule moving forward later this month the sponsor will apply for tax credits and a bond allocation this summer. We will return to commission for the Gap Financing requests. Enter into a ground lease. Late summer, early fall the project will Close Construction financing and construction begins. We expect construction to be completed in april 2018. That concludes staffs presentation. I would like to introduce katie and claire, the sponsors are here in the audience. Were happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have any speaker cards. Mr. James, would you like to speak on this item or just number six . Okay. I dont have any speaker cards for this item. Okay. Commissioners any questions for staff . On this item . I have a question. Commissioner singh. Yes. Its going to start in the later this year . Whether is going to finish it . Construction is set to start in late august early september. Its anticipated to be completed april 2018. Who a side this, the leases and rent we have anything to do with that or the tenderloin does this . Im who, you know select the candidate for this, who is going to go in. Into the retail spaces . Yes. That will be the responsibility of tndc. We have nothing to do with that . Actually the sponsor will let us know who they are negotiating with. Ask us to comply with the mission bay policies. Huhuh. Okay. Thank you. I think the question might be more on residents. Yes. Not the marketing will be completed per our marketing guidelines. They will adhere to all of the new requirements that we have in our loan agreements. They will do early outreach to the certificate of prefrps holders. They will be doing as i said rental readiness. Application preparation. They will do a lot of outreach to the certificate of preference holders in addition to the community, the community in general. Okay. Thank you. Huhuh. Any other questions . Yes. Commissioner pimentel. Slide five it talks about the School Program. Do you know how they will decide in terms of priority of those living in the units get priority for the after School Program and then the surrounding areas . Thank you, commissioner. The after School Program 826 valencia will offer the priority is for the residents. If in fact there is Additional Space in the programming that will then be offered to the Wider Community. How will you decide which part of the Wider Community will get a spot in the after School Program . It will be offered to the mission bay community. Our affordable Housing Developments and the surrounding area. So, it will be geared towards our families who live in our supportive Housing Developments. What type of programming will the children learn . Well, its after School Literacy program. So, theyre its a great concept. Theyre encouraged to be very creative. Its a pirate theme and to tap no their inner child and to just write. Be very express sieve. Everyone is excited about the program. And do you happen to know how many families moving no the developments have children . Actually we anticipate because approximately twothirds of our units are two and three bedrooms. We expect quite a few of the households to have children. At least two, twothirds of the households. Thank you. Huhuh. Commissioner mondejar . Okay. First of all, thank you for your presentation. Love the site amenities. Gives you a picture of what is going on in the neighborhood. I have a couple of questions. Where was i . Slide five, you said the balance of the retail space will be leased to commercial providers. Do you have an idea yet of the commercial providers . I can call the industries. I can call the developer up to see if they have ideas for you. That would be tkpraoet. Great. Hi, my name is katie lamont. Thank you for the opportunity to be here. So, we have not done a lot of deep thinking yet about the preparing ourselves for the commercial leasing. We designed the space as discussed previous ly one space will accommodate the Literacy Program and a retail frontage. The other end of the buildings retail is to accommodate a restaurant looking out to mission bay boulevard. We believe that will be nice with a opportunity for outdoor seating. Then the spaces between. You know we, we lease property throughout tenderloin and these areas of the mission. Our peer mercy housing leased their frontage further down Fourth Street. We will build on our experience in our other developments and mercys experience in that development. We will work with. I dont remember her name exactly there is a woman we worked with our initial conceptual proposal. To get a good sense what the market is there and the Community Needs to fill out the shopping area. I. All of the critical amenities that people need and rely on their day to day lives. Ideally they would be able to walk to them. Thats as far as we have gotten. If you have suggestioned were open to you receiving them or future opportunities when we interact. The commercial providers are being considered. Im not sure of a prescribed check point. We check in often. I imagine there is a opportunity. Through the chair we can keep you updated on the status. Fourth street is a small, its a small scale street. Its really the Residential Commercial core, the primary use. Certainly mission bay north is built out. Really in the core of Mission Bay South where this is, i think as you can see in the amenities map and walking down there, there are holes that we would seek to fill. We would work with our Development Partners to make sure its meeting the communitys needs. One other question thank you. Let me go back. Aside from the hospitals where there are pharmacies. There are no other pharmacies in the site amenities list unless you go to kaiser aor usf and or safeway. Youre right. Thank you. I didnt realize there is a Farmers Market at ucsf. Is that every week. Yes saturdays. I will check it out. One other question Onsite Parking spaces. Yes. Five is for commercial. Can you explain what that means. For the commercial tenants. Okay. This is the spot. And this car share two are car share and 34 for the rents r es dents. This is leased to like zip car or car share yes. Okay. I wanted to clarify that. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question on construction. We can you tell me the developments under construction in this general area. I lose track of the developments. This is the next one up. After that it will be block 3 east. That is the development for 50 percent veterans. And then the balance are families. That will be coming online, or anticipated construction i believe in six to nine months. On 2017. Okay. This one we have heard plenty of i wouldnt say complaints but concerns about traffic congestions. I want to think about besides understanding the traffic and amenities map but the traffic and congestion map. Okay, you have more. In general there are a number of commercial projects understand construction the next couple of years. The golden state warriors, alexandria and uber and other commercial construction projects. The city is working with us, the department of public works, the Mayors Office to convene a a construction coordinating committee for mission bay. Were in the information gathering phase of figuring out when everyone will start and the phase they will be in to coordinate. Its definitely on our radar this will have a impact on the community and we want to share information as much as possible. Excellent. Thats good news. I have raised this before. I will put it on the record. I dont believe anyone from nibby brothers is here. I understand theyre a excellent company. I think theyre one of the privileged few apparently that keep getting the jobs. I know were looking at issues of expanding the pool of general contractors. I guess one question i have is how many other contracts or projects is nibby working on in mission bay at the same time . Can someone give me a sense of their portfolio . George pwreupbz contract compliance specialist. Commissioners, i dont think currently nibby has any projects. They completed 13 west. They will work on 6 east and 3 east. Which is the china town project. Okay. That should start w t within the next nine to twelve months. Most recent selection. Yes. Other than that just the southeast we have the hunters view, jb with kay hill on Alex Griffith and thats a joint venture with the baines group. Okay. Commissioner singh, yes. There is 34 parking. Who get those . Thank you, commissioner. The Parking Spaces are offered through lottery. So the spaces will go to who ever, much like the units. Who ever comes up in the lottery. They will be offered the spaces first. Thank you. Thank you. Can i add to. That theyre affordable fees . No extra parking fees. Oh, there is none . Whatever the unit they have thats good to know. I do have a suggestion for the site amenities. Is your mic on, commissioner . For some reason hello. Thank you. There are two dog grooming facilities but none for people like a barber for hair. [laughing] i was wondering maybe thats something that can be considered. There is a dental spa. Maybe there is a gym for the ucsf staff. Maybe a gym or mens and womens sa lolling sing evewomens salon services. Maybe. The community is growing. Thank you. Any other questions. Any commissioner like to make a motion . I move to approve. Commissioner mondeyear has moved. Commissioner pimentel has second it. Call the roll. Commissioner pimentel. Yes. Commissioner bustos is absent. Commissioner singh. Yes. Vice chair mondejar. Yes. Madam chair roseles. Yes. Madam chair, i have four is and one absent. Thank you, the item has passed. Please call the next item. The next order of business is agenda item 5d. Authorizing the sixth amendment to Grant Agreement number 07490947 and the Fourth Amendment to the Grant Agreement 0947 113 from the u. S. Department of Commerce EconomicDevelopment Administration for implementation of an art and Technology District in the Hunters PointShipyard Redevelopment area. Hunters Point Shipyard project area discussion and action resolution 22, 2016. Madam director. Thank you, madam secretary. Commissioners as you know we have received through the federal Economic Development administration, the leadership of leader palosi. Over the last decade 15 million in federal grants for a arts and Technology District at the shipyard. Its been a Long Time Coming since properties have transferred causing delays over the decade plus of having the grants. We have reskoebd to accommodate navy timing and sharpen our pencils to address the Community Needs. Before you is a grant authorization for a rescope. Its being presepped by j. Jennifer the shippard cant will stick manager somewhere. Thank you, good afternoon and thank you for the introduction. I want toe walk through the basics of kpwrapbt amendment and talk about the reason for the meeting to day. During the course of the presentation i will provide an over view of the eda grant. Summarize the purpose, the amount of funds we received. What we have expended. What is remaining and talk about the two aspects of the amendment to the grant. Our current approval status and then how we intend to use the grant going forward. So to date since 2003, we have received five grants from the department of commerce totaling 15. 5 million approximately. Kpwrapbts 13 have been used for shipyard related activities. Grants four and five are partially expended but grants remain. The purpose of eda giving us the grant is to promote the shipyard arts and Technology District. Specifically for planning, desaoeup and construction ideas for either open space or buildings in that district. Our request today specifically is to authorize the executive director to accept the extension of the grant. The eda has authorized and repurposing of the grant funds from what is currently building 813 to building 101 on the shipyard. So just to give a context. Can i use this mic instead . Oh the context you can see pointing out the site. This is the area near the hill top at the base of the hill. The arts and Technology Depot district. And these are the various facilities. The second bullet point which points to the new and existing arts studios and plazas building 101 is just below that bullet point dot there and the planned new Artist Studio replacement building is just above it down here at the bottom is where the new commercial kitchen is under construction. Just for reference building here in the blue to the left. Within the dda phase two there are obligations related to the arts and technology go district. A, to prevent building 101. B, construct a new Artist Studio replacement building. C, construct a new commercial kitchen. D, improve land for future art center. The artist enclave on the shipyard is reportedly the largest on the western seaboard. Roughly 300 as of now. The art enclave has been promoted and preserved to the Shipyard Redevelopment plan. Within the shippard arts and Technology District, a corelment is the shipyard arts complex at the center. The four billions within the complex are all going to be future assets to the city of San Francisco. We will talk more about that in a moment. The key staked homers, our partners is the cac and shipyard trust for the arts. We have folks today here from star. So the grant amendment. In jan we did receive approval from the Oversight Board to accept the continued use of the grant funds. The department of finance authorized and we received a letter of approval from the eda in april. Were here today to just kind of, for your consideration. We can move forward with the approval of continuing to accept the funds. This chart provides kind of a summary of funds extended to date. Our local match funds involved in the eda grant and remaining funds we would use going forward. There are currently five million one hundred fifty five thousand dollars left from the grant and the local match is five hundred thousand dollars approximately. So initially the remaining funds from eda grant number four and five were going to be used for renovations upgrades to building 813. The transfer of navy parcel d2 was significantly delayed. We got the property in november. In the interim we made the request to transfer the remaining funds from 813 to building 101. Which we own and can easily accommodate the renovations in a reasonable amount of time. We do have a grant deadline issue. The eda did kpwrapbt us reallocating the funds from 813 to 101. A little bit about building 101. We would transfer the funds to use for that renovation. The status of the property has been occupied by artists for many decades. A twostory building built in 1947. Lots of improvements need to be made to the building. Its approximately 120th thousan120,000square feet and 1t studios in the building currently. In 2009 we had ventura partners do a property assessment. They identified about 10 million of rehab that needed to be done. We allocated an earlier grant, grant number two, million two Million Dollars for renovation of the building at that time. It was a partial upgrade or renovation. There is about 8 million of work that needs to be done. Would would like to take the remaining 5 million to do additional portion that had work. We havent been in contact with the cac about the plans to use the remaining funds for building 101. We had a meeting in presented this concept to the executive committee and it was responded to favorably. We met with the shipyard artist. Most recently the 13th of jan to present the concept of funds used and prioritized. In general there is a need for fire alarm and fire system replacement in the building. There is a need to address fire and life safety issues. So, in addition to the priorities we asked the Arts Community what was most important to address in the building. The input was were not focused on an artist lounge but it would be great to have an elevator and address the ventilation system. We have added that to the scope and to under take with the five Million Dollars. So, the plan with the remaining grant funds has been to work out an agreement with the San Francisco public works. Realizing the public works does most of the maintenance of city facilities. This will become a city asset. We thought that public works having familiarity with the building is a smart approach. We have been in negotiation with them. Member wrapped dumb of agreement and understanding. Close to having a deal. Both sides understand a five Million Dollar budget and there is nowhere to go for additional funds. As i said fire protection, life safety is a high priority and changing to a Multi Purpose functional room. If funds are available for the elevator and ventilation and those items. We expect to have the memorandum of agreement wrapped up during the summer and be back in front of you for consideration of the agreement, the scope and so on. Today is really focused on the accepting the grant and understanding there is a local match involved and being able to move forward. Give that the eda authorized us in april to be responsive with the 30day period. Thats why were before to you day. To say the fact that this will be a city asset and that the public works folks are the entity to under take this work. All consistent with the long range Property Management plan. A plan diagram with the concept for reinventing the auditorium into a Multi Purpose room. You have probably seen these drawings before. And to recap like i said this is about reauthorizing the grant and shifting funds from building 813 to 101. The eda has already authorized that. There after once we move forward from today we finalize the agreement with the public works folks. Come back to commission with that a tkwroeplt for your consideration. And there after we will prepare designs and get approval for construction of the renovations we have outlined today. With that i thank you for your time and i will take any questions you may have. Thank you. We need to first see if there are speaker cards. I do have two speakers. Okay the speaker cards first, yes. Ms. Marti mcgee and karen slater. Good afternoon, commissioners, im marti mcgee the president of shipyard trust for the arts. I would like to thank executive director tiffany and her staff for the commitment and work they have put into trying to repurpose this grant money im sure nobody wants to see go away. We were happy to see it come towards building 101. The life safety and accessibility issues are extremely important. I dont have to tell you. That what i want you to know is that the shipyard today, we have a number of people with mobility issues, we have an aging population having a harder and harder time with stairs and other accessibility. There is one ramp for a huge long building. The money will be very well spent. Not only for the folks there but for the future. The other thing i want to mention is this auditorium. Its about an 80 seat auditorium. It must of been built for presentations. Its on an incline. The seats some are ric rickety. But theyre fixed seats. You have a great space with fixed seats on a incline which isnt good for anything unless you have a small bad or something. We dont have the electricity to support that anyways. Bringing this room to a Multi Purpose room to be used as not only the Artist Studios but more importantly we believe that if this facility is managed correctly and exploits the full Community Benefit this is a room we can keep active all the time from Community Members that surround us from particularly bay view Hunters Point this. Is a great spot to have events, classrooms, workshops what have you. On that note i hope you approve this. Thank you, very much. Thank you. My name is karen slater im on the star board and an artist with a studio in 101. Before that i was in building the former building 103 which has now been partially been destroyed. As an artist in 101 i can tell you how important the improvements will be. As marti said we have accessibility issues. A lot of artists have large work. There is just one ric rickety r. Without a elevator is limits the ability to get work in the building for the sec floor artists especially. People work large, it constrains peoples concepts of what they want to work on. The safety issue such as the sprinklers is important to everyone in the building. As marti mentioned the remodeling of the Navy Auditorium will allow a lot of functions. Classes, performances and meetings. It will be available to the Broader Community. Assume can the buildings are man anged in a way for that to happen. I want to remained everyone that building 101 represents one of the very few low cost art studio locations in San Francisco. Keeping this building and improving it allows the city of San Francisco to maintain artists to all hide ya contributing to the identity of the city. Maintain ago fordable working spaces in San Francisco creates the city that attracts residents and tourists. Is a goodd investment for san investment for San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. James. Thank you, my name is oscar james. Im a native resident. One, im in favor of this approximately project and support it a hundred percent. One of the things i would like to happen is building 101, that was a building that was used by swearing in different peoples who were going to participate in working in the Hunters Point shipyard. In the cities a gentleman carl kembels office was in that building. I ask this commission to name the building after this man. He was a significant person in my generations life getting jobs for people in Hunters Point, south park and making sure we had summer jobs and didnt go downtown and tear up downtown. He was one of the persons, he was a Community Relations liaison. He made sure the employees of Hunters Point shipyard both minorities and majority were represented so far as unions and things like that. He is they have, i would like to have his bio put there with his picture in building 101. His history is in the San Francisco library. I would have to come back and bring you the the information where you can go online and see the things he has done in Hunters Point shipyard. Also a history of things happening at Hunters PointCommunity Since the 50s with doctor kohlman. I dont have that information with me today. But its history about Hunters Point and the struggles we put up in. That i want to support this particular project. I want that building named after him. I will make sure it is named after him for people my age and older. To make sure we became the mens and womens we are today. Thank you, very much. Thank you. I have no further speaker cards. Commissioners, questions . Comments . Yes commissioner. On slide five, will any of the new existing, new or existing studios will they have any programming for Art Education for use . To understand the importance of art, create art and express themselves through arts. I see the talk on the adults. I think we need to focus on the next generation. As a mother and art minor its important for children to understand the creativity and not live in a box but what is outside of the box. I would like to see a type of programming for children in the community thats affordable for them. As i look through the summer programs for my son its 600. 800 a week. Thats out of the price range for most working class families. In response to your question i havent come across anything to this aspect. Thank you, commissioner. One of the reasons we mentioned the, you know, obviously we have our own agenda. How the facility is managed particularly community in the facility. The auditorium, gallery, open space thats part of the new arts complex is star believes very much its part of our mission is to make sure these programs exist. I mean when everyone from the surrounding community has been locked out for years because of the gates. We have some programming. We are running a summer camp this year for local kids. What we want to do is use these spaces constantly all the time for arts and education. Eventually there is the component that is Art Education center. We hope to do fund raising and be able to build. There is that space. During the interim we want to build, star wants to build strong programs for kids and education. Its a number one priority for us. I wanted to agree with what marti said. I have been very involved in the con cement youllization oconce. Its a big part of the mission. The idea is that it is a multimedia kind of arts participation center. Not just visual art but music, dance. You know ideally take the music and have lessons for kids and performance space, a Recording Studio and a small radio station. Have a integrated opportunity for kids and young adults and anyone who wants to be involved. To offer like beginning, entry level opportunities for a lot of people. Then if we can grow the arts presence into what is considered the research and Development Campus and create a true Arts District we can have opportunities and places for people to go on if you want to get more involved in ceramics and something else. Class work. You know there are places to go, permanent locations for veerious art activities that wont be chased out of the city from rising rents so often. We look at this being the foothold and growing out to create what San Francisco could do, create a incredible Art Community here in a stable location. We have all of this that nobody else does. We have the land. With the will we want to do it. Were teaming up with the ymca to do a five session Selection Program for kids in the drew school over the summer. Were looking for funding. We need transportation for the kids. Thats the biggest problem. We can manage the rest. Getting kids to and from is a issue. We want to start bringing people out to the shipyard. The auditorium this is a good start at a programming location that we hope to grow out into the arts center and into the Arts District. I would add through the chair in response to commissioners question with an additional tkpwrapt, you know eda grants, approximately a Million Dollars. Its installed today. There are nine works of art. Art work from walter hood to heidi harden her sees, stream of consciousness with two other artists for the installation and the process. We ran a broad process used consultants represented a consultant doing processes and consultation with the Arts Commission. We ran our own process. Engaged the San FranciscoSchool District with calf lawyers for the arts. The nine works of art out there today there was a documentation process and involvement with Bay View School children. Even a video is on our website. We can forward that. It documented the process. Working with school children. So even through, our primary, were infrastructure. Were really the built environment to the extent we can partner through operating agreements or leverage other partnerships in the city with boys and girls clubs. They do opera house. We will with staff explore the partnerships wants we have the facilities built. At every opportunity i want to assure you this commission has consistently guided us to engage with the Broader Community and the importance of art. Its not just something that is out there in a brand new spanking museum but part of the community. Yes, commissioner. I have a question. So the arts studios there is interaction now with those in the shipyard. Is there interaction . Yes. Like events, invitations to visit the studios or and so forth. I was looking at the in gaugement of the residents there with the artists. Many of the artists have been there before and been there a long time. Do you have any programming around that . Yes, thank you, commissioner monde skwrfplt jar. So, the two main ways in which the residents currently are about a hundred occupied units out of the shipyard. About to be more with the grand opening of block 49. The main way those current resident departments are invite to the Artist Studios sthru the open studios program. Fall and spring, an opening of building 101, and the artist stpaoud joes on parcel b. I know that several of the existing residents have gone and enjoyed learning more about the Arts Community and complex through that program. So that really is the two main events each year which the Broader Community is invited onto the shipyard. One last question. Do we have an Art Consultant that coordinates all of the art, the public art or is that in coordination with the Arts Commission . We have an arts consultant. His name has eggs caped me. She is consulting on the installation and future maintenance of the nine pieces we commissioned through the previous eda grants and is onboard as a guiding factor for that. We havent engaged her for kind of the visioning of the future arts complex. A future works program. Future artist building is created and future arts complex is conceptualized and designed. So there is more work to be done. Thank you, thats great to know. Thank you. So i have a couple of questions. On the local match, maybe you mentioned it. I dont see it. Who provides local match. The local match. We provide local match and its tax increment. Okay. That local match was identified on a recognized is identification payment schedule. The department of finance has a loved it the local match and continuation of the local match has been approved by the Oversight Board and state department of finance. We have the procedure hurdles to implement this and make the important improvements. Thank you for. That did i understand though that the elevator may not make it in this round of improvements. We understand the importance of finding a way to get the elevator done. The fire, life safety and accessibility improvements are prioritized slightly ahead of the elevator. Both of cac and the shipyard artists through our presentation made clear thats something we need to find a way to do. To dig into the figures there is about three Million Dollars of the budget for hard costs that is thought through assuming all goes reasonably well with the expenditure of the funds we should have enough. Seems very important as well. And since, i would like the idea of dpw being the departments to implement the improvements. I think i know the answer for this. I may as well ask on the record. Our sbc policy is implemented by dpw versus the local policy, right . Yes. There are federal requirements, minimum thats harmonize with ours. We have done exploration to make sure they are harmonized and we can do that. Great, thank you. Commissioner singh, do you have a question. Yes. How many people are artists that are going to be involved in this . Artists . I mean the obviously your question is not the construction work, how many artists will be involved. The work done will be the main areas of the building. It shouldnt have a huge impact on the studios directly. Were not intending to do renovation of their spaces specifically. This is really about, you know, common areas and exterior areas to provide fire prevention, protection, life safety and accessibility to the building. Its about investing in an asset that is a city owns asset for a lost years. Looks like a great there use to be artist faires there once a year. You still have that . Yes, they have twice a year. The open studios. Its kind of a major event. One in the spring and one in the fall. Where the Artists Open Studios to the public. Its a pretty major event. Via stepped in the past. We use to get the invitation from the artists to visit that. We use to enjoy that. We never had that for the last so many years. There should be a vip list. Perhaps they missed the vip. No vip just general public for the commissioners to meet the artists. I understand. Yes, i agree with you. We want to be invited and know. I want to see what is happening, you know. We will make sure ya. The commission and others are on the list. Yes, its a great event. I dont know. You know maybe. Okay. Yes, we need a motion. Yes. I second that. We have a motion by commissioner mondejar and commissioner singh on 5d. Call the roll. Commission members. Pimentel. Yes. Singh. Yes. Mondejar. Yes. Rosales. Yes. I have four is and one accent. Please call the next item, Public Comment. The next order of business is item six Public Comment a non agenda item. Madam chair. Do we have a speaker card or speaker cards. I have one speaker card from mr. Oscar james. First i want to say its a privilege to see your face. I miss it did for the last couple of months. Five weeks i was bedridden. I didnt think, for two weeks i didnt think i was going to make it anyways i say god is good. You know laying in the bed and when i did catch my senses i tried to get the ocii on the tv. It dont come on. You dont come on the government khapl anymore. I wonder what is happening. I know youre doing a good job but its great to see. I would like to you look into that to make sure the public is able to look at your pretty faces and your strong minds on what you do to better our communities. The other thing i want to bring up. I was visited people in the jail houses. The older people. A lot of those men its the mens part i go to. Im not fortunate to go to the ladies. The mens who come home want to get employment. We talked about that. I told them i would bring it up with the ocii. There is a strong participant in helping people get jobs. Because to me its hard for us to get even though we have the things set aside for the young people through Mission Hiring Hall and Young Community developers and what have you. What you districts and boundaries have now, its not like when we were coming up. You go work in the mission. You go work on bart. Hunters point. Anywhere in the city, you wouldnt have to worry about being shot or beat up or anything like. That these young people have to face. That me personally i feel some of these people coming home have the opportunity to get jobs. It would free up some of the young peoples to go on these jobs and have mentors on the job to help them and to try to change the mentality about this is my community and you cant come here and all this and all that. Our group, i belong to a group called hp unit. We grew up in the various communities. We started an Organization Called hp unit. August the 14th were having a dinner, free of charge. Were asking all of the communities, the young peoples, brothers against violence and guns to a free din tore sit down and try to discuss this and come up with solutions on how you know we can knock the guns out and people can get these jobs and opportunities that they have that you commissioners set up in other parts of the city to set up to make sure people in San Francisco get these jobs. Theyre not getting them. The reason theyre not getting them theyre scared to go on jobs. Theyre scared to go to west point for example. People from western edition. Even people from Hunters Point wont go to west point who live on harbor road or oak dale. Its a shame. You talk about feeding your families. Its a shame they have this fear. You know they want to feed their families. They cant go to certain places. We need to do something about it. I think if we get these people coming home from jails and the bring sons who thaeupbg their lives they could be a mentor to change other peoples lives. The reason i bring that up older people changed our lives. I grew up in clubs in Hunters Point. Egyptian and vanguard. Older people like youthful service and a guy named smitty came to mentor us and carl whoeu mentioned before got us summer jobs. They talked to us it changed us to make sure we cared about other people. You know in the 60s there was a lot of love in this city. Everyone had respect for each other since that time the crack came in and what have you, we dont have that no more. We need our generation to mentor the younger generation. They have no identity what they r what we have done in this community as a city. Im talking about. I started a club in the mission called the marques in the 60s also. We mentored people. We werent like today running around killing and trying to harm someone. We got in fights. The next days we were friends. We need to bring that back to these young people. You know we are our brothers keeper. What we should do is make sure everyone benefits, all races in this city. We are all as one. With that i thank you. I may of been rambling a lot, what have you you put what im saying in the right perspective. Thank you. Thank you. Can you please call the next item.

It is the walking parking, and riding muni and it is all here in one place. Sitting in front of my computer waiting Transportation Options that is not exactly how i want to spend my saturday night.

But, lets just take the same route tomorrow that we always take, okay . It might be much more fun to ride our bikes. I am going to be way too tired to ride all the way home. Okay, how about this, we can ride our bikes there and then we can take muni home and it even shows us how to take the bikes on the bus, so simple right here on my phone. Neat.

It sure does and we can use it again next weekend when we go to see the giants. There is a new destination section on the website that shows us how to get to at t park. There is a section, and account alerts and information on parking and all kinds of stuff, it is so easy to use that even you can use it. That is smart. Are you giving me a compliment.
