Okay we have a motion by tang and take that withouter objection. Could you call two. Resolution of approving the issuance of nottoexceed, 41 million of Principal Amount of and new and clean, renewable necessarier bonds to be issued through the city. Tell you what, supervisor breed, i believe, wanted to speak and she said that she will be here and why dont we take these items first. Could you call three first. The resolution to approve the terms and conditions of the consent assignment agreement for the agreement, cs169 for planning and Engineering Services for the proposed waste water, enterprise, system improvement project, within the wh america. Okay. And we all have a few speakers on this item. Yes, good morning, members of the budget and finance committee. Thank you for hearing this item today. My mame is wong and i am the senior project manager, and the resolution before you, requests the board of supervisors approval. To execute a agreement of cs169 for planning and Engineering Services, on the basis and the central base of the improvement project. The potential council, and arose as a result and the acquisition of the urs, cooperation, which is a joint venture partner on this contract. Because of it, and because of the source of the improve the programs and the program manager. To resolve the potential conflict, they request that the city consent to the assignment of the interest in the agreement to the nwh american and there is no change to the total 30 Million Contract or the contract, or the contract, duration, the cbs ip, and the central, improvement project, is part of the sfpuc, System Improvement Program and will provide the liability about the citys side based water Collection System and if you like i will show you the graphics on the project. And if that will be of interest to you. I am okay,vy seen it before, colleagues . Okay. I think that we are okay. We have a presentation here, we are okay. Show the graphic. Sure, why dont you and lets go through it. Okay, great. So the actually the city is organized into eight water sheds and so the waste water collection. And on the base side, you can see on the graphic, that there was three large sheds on the north base line. And what we are calling the north shore water shed and the channel and the water sheds. We actually the sfpuc has a series of collections facilities and underneath the streets surface, that collects and transports the waste water, ultimately to the far east, Water Pollution control plan in the bay view for treatment. You can see that actually, there are box suers underneath in the green and along the railway and along the creek. And however, we just see that and you can see that there is some what of a missing piece there. And it was not really a missing piece, but a list piece between the Mission Creek and the inaudible creek. Did we skip a slide . Any way, of the or of that there is a link and there is a critical link, what we called the channel fourth main that transforms it from the end of the Mission Creek to the south east plan and that conveys, 70 percent of the waste water and san tarry flow on the average day like today. And if the 66 inch diameter, maybe, constructed in the 70s. These are not quite so flattering pictures of what the main looks like. And it has been damaged, seriously three times. And due to earthquake and construction activities. And due to the settlement and the vandalism. There is a picture of it showing the patch that was done previously, on one of the repair jobs and also, what sections that are forcing above ground that this section there by the creek. There is no way to take it out of service, we rely on it 247. And it with no alternative way to convey the flows to this plan and so it does, and there in this main and the city, will have some risk of overflowing waste water, in to the bay. So this project and we are hoping to find a way to provide redundancy and to convey the flows and possibly we will also be able to address some future regulatory concerns. And address the over rise in the future. And so, this project, we are looking currently at a proposed gravity solution of a gravity tunnel to convey the waste water instead of pumping the flows and so that is basically the scope of the project. And what we have and if there are any questions that you may have. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Thank you for your presentation. I know that the item does not change the contracts. Out of curse onsty, do you know when it is for completing . Depending on the funding we are targeting in 2022 if we proceed on schedule that is currently anticipated. Great, thank you. And okay, colleagues any further questions . Okay, seeing none we will open this up to Public Comment. Anybody wish to comment on item three . Water and clean and waste water inaudible naoe. Thank you, anyone else wish to comment on item three . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. All right, the chair, i would like to make a motion to send forward item three with a positive recommendation to the full board. We have supervisor tang and we will take that without objection. Okay. Lets go to item two. And supervisor, breed i know that you sponsored this, if you have any comments or want to save them for later . Okay, we will hear them later. Committee members, eric sandler assistant general manager and of the San Francisco puc. And but, the item before you is approval of the issuance of 4. 1 Million Dollars in new Clean Renewable Energy bonds and they are referred to as mcrebs. They are essentially a federally, tax advantage for Renewable Energy projects. And we receive a 70 percent from the federal government and we will yield the cost and the attractive interest cost of about 1. 7 percent. And the puc has issued ncrebs previously in 2008 and 2012, to fund the solar projects. The proceeds of the issuance will fund, two projects one at the marine Little School and one at the sf Police Academy. We received an irs allocation in april and we will send a lender rfp in july of this year and they acted on september the 8th ask we are here before you and the proposed balance will be october, 15th. And the requested action is to authorize the issuance of the mcreband to improve the form of the bond documents and the equipment and the direct Purchase Agreement and the filing agreement. I am happy to answer any questions. Okay, thank you very much, colleagues, any questions. Supervisor tang . Just one question, that i know that the sites that were chosen, where the sorry the Police Academy and the middle school, could you talk a little bit why those sites were chosen in the process for that . And i believe that the, yes. That will be it. I have our program, manager, here who could cover on the project. Good morning, smith from sfpac power enterprise. So, the reason that we chose these two projects the Police Academy is it fits the criteria for. Crebs application. And we have already these are two projects that were already in process. In development. So the first one is the Police Academy and that is the first one that we are going to do and that is about a 200 kilo wat system. And the carport. In the parking lot area. And the second one is the marina school. And that one is going to be cited probably about midway through the Police Academy. And construction phase. So they are both ready to start the project development right now, with the Police Academy happening first. And the middle School Following up after that. And the other reason that we chose the main Little School is because the School District is already a customer of the puc power. So it kind of any of those to introduce more of it into the mix. I guess, through the chair, and to go on that question. And if you could just say, like, why, for example, the Marina Middle School verses other schools and the details, for the original selection . Sure, the process is we work with the School District, identifying which schools have roofs that can handle the installation and we have already done about five schools. Starting with el dorado elementary and moving through the Downtown High school. And also, working on cesar chavez so this was just what the School District termed would be the best fit, and we are trying to go to the different schools and different locations around the city. But it is not just all in one district. Okay, any of the other questions . Okay, could we go to our item number two . Budget analyst . Okay. Good morning, chair. Farrell and supervisor tang and breed from the office. We sum marized the impact to the issuance of the bond and the bank of america will purchase these bonds and based on an rfp process and right now, the estimated Interest Rate is 4. 88 percent and the final Interest Rate will be determined when the bonds are sold on october, 16th and as you can see from our table here, the proceeds of 4. 1 million which includes the cost of issuance. The interest on bonds is estimated to be 1. 8 million, and the total cost to the city is 5. 9, and the subsidies from the irs will be 1. 2 million and the net will be 1. 7 million cost to the city and we recommend approval. Thank you very much. And seeing no other comments, we will move on to Public Comment and we wish to publicly comment on item two . And seeing none, Public Comment is closed. All right, we would like to make a motion to send forward item two to the full board. We take it without objection. Could you call items 4 through 17 together. 4, resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of multty Family Housing revenue note for the purpose of providing financing, and the acquisition and rehabilitation of the multihousing rental projects located at 491, 31st satisfy, 345, arguella boulevard. 990 faive fix avenue, and 666 ellis street. 1150 scott, street, 1880 pine street, and thanks, from the Mayors Office of housing to speak here. Good morning, supervisors my name is ria, and i am with the housing and Community Development. Pleased to present today on 14 separate, issuance resolutions to finance the first phase of the rod conversion, plus this represents, 1422 units of housing and 14 distincts projects and you just heard the addresses. In total it authorize the city to issue up to 399 Million Dollars. In tax exempt multifamily bonds to finance, moderate rehabilitation of these projects. Today, marks the major mild stone to make responsibility for the ownership and the management of these properties. Under the program it will convert from Public Housing which was separate and study and severe cuts to the operating and capitol repair budgets, since the 80s. And to the section 8 program. And section 8, subdy contracts provide more stable, Funding Source that allows the projects to leverage outside of the housings for along the repairs of these sites. And when in the case of the 14 projects that we are contracting today, we are averaging about 285 million, in private equity, and 86 Million Dollars, in permanent debt. And we will complete, approximately 250 million, in capitol repairs, where we had the city is also contributing about 35 million to the 14 projects. And the influx of capitol, are described as a stark contrast to the 5 million that the Housing Authority has recently been provided by congress to maintain these properties. And approximately, 3500 Additional Units in the support. And conversion to the rad provides us with the opportunity to improve the units that house many of the lowest income residents and these residents are at greatest risk, of economic displacement. And in phase one, the properties are located in 9 out of the citys eleven supervisor vision districts including many areas where the areas where the production of units is beyond our reach, including the castro district, and lower the pacific heights, and the heights and richmond, and i have a brief powerpoint, that i would like to present. For the endosement of these bonds and so rad is a new program. We have two phases of rad, and this is the only first phase that we will bring you today in total we will be leveraging 700 million in equity, and 244 million in private debt and this is really remarkable and, the value of the dollars that we will be abe to bring to these properties which have suffered deferred maintenance for many years now. And under rad ownership, will convert, to the partnerships, or that include, nonprofit, and general partners. And we will also be bringing on site Property Management to these sites, as well as on Site Resident Services which previously tends to not enjoy. So again, in what when you look at the two phases, we have 28 projects total and we have 8 Different Developers that were selected about 18 months ago to do this work. The key aspects of rad that are really critical to us and to the residents, the permanent affordability. And so there is a 99 year ground lease that will insure long term affordability and there is additional regulatory restrictions on each property and imposed to the city that layer on additional affordability requirements for 55 years. And another aspect of rad that is part of the federal regard program that has been enhanced locally, is a strong resident protection component and under rad all residents have the and the Public Health and into the section 8 program. Without having to be rescreened and without having to go through any, application process. And any tenants that are temporarily relocated because of the construction have the right to return and as i mentioned before. We will be providing resident servicesal all sites. And obviously, huge volume of repair is in the works. And here, you will see a graphic, showing who the Community Developers are that are responsible for each of the phase one projects. We have the authority to do an rfq for qualified developers, in march of last year. And these are the selected developers. And just a quick run down on the schedule for you. And since we were here in april, we have basically locked down the financing plan, and we have identified bank of america as the equity and debt partner and we have got the prelim approval from hud to move forward and we are planning to close the projects next month and start the rehab in november. Phase two, is upon us, and you will see us next month for november and with another 14 endorsement resolutions. And that list projects are schedule to close in a year from now. So that will be another 266 units that will be going through the same conversion, from the Public Housing, to rad. And so we will be back to see you, for those results as well. And i would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous effort by all of the parties that together, appeared today in preparation for the conversion next month, as you all probably know, the Housing Development for the existing project to be recapitalized is usually a three year process. We have found this in 18 months. And with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development and the Housing Authority, and mutpel city departments including the Planning Department and the building department, and the attorney, and county, surveyers office, and as well as the residents themselves of these sites have been working around the clock to prepare for this transition. And in particular, the citys Affordable Housing developers, have worked under excel rated and schedule and which is by and large, beyond our control. And they were here today to answer any questions that you might have about the individual, and the 14 individual projects. And so i will list those, organizations for you, and the China Town Development center, and related to the california, and the tabernacle community, development and the tender loin, development and the Community Health and partnership, inaudible and the heights neighborhood, center, and mission, Economic Development agency and mercy housing and the company, and the San Francisco, Housing Development corporation. I could answer any of the questions over the over all port foel portfolio as well. Any comments or questions . Supervisor breed . Thank you, i appreciate your presentation on this and i just wanted to bring up a few points. First of all, this is a long time coming, as many of us know, with the Public Housing here in San Francisco, there has been a tremendous amount of neglect over the years. And i know that with as many of our affordable Housing Developments throughout San Francisco, we have invested millions of dollars in rehabilitation, and in some instances that rehabilitation, the quality of that work has not always been good. And i am really concerned, and i know that this is something, that is better than not doing anything at all. And there is work to be done. And as much as this is going to have a tremendous impact, you know, i am concerned about cutting corners, in order to either to stretch the dollars, or stretch profits. Or what have you. And as it relates to the quality of the work that needs to be done. And especially in the instances of those properties that are, you know, over, 70 years old. And really need to be torn down. There is going to be a lot of work that needs to be done there and i would like to know a lot more what your office plans to do, to over see, these projects. To make sure that the quality of the work that is done, is good quality and you know, folks are not just walking away, with large profits. But we are getting this work done, to the residents, and we are making sure, that this is not work that needs to be done, in the next ten or 15 years. Because i know that we are required to, and we will not be able to, and i will give you an example to, in the court and using that program, west side court deserves a new and, they deserve new housing. But unfortunately we are not going to be able to do that in the near future and as a result we will not be able to do anything new with the west side courts for another 15 years. Because of rad and the question that i have is, what does this mean for the residents . Does it mean quality workmanship . Does it mean that, you know, the rats and the roaches and the pipes, and all of the challenges that they deal with, on a daily basis, will be solved as a result of the amount of money that we are investing to repair their property. Thank you, supervisor for your comments and your questions. I will acknowledge that given the volume of projects, we have had to emphasize Cost Containment with the developers, simply because it is not customary for us to carry this many projects at once. And we have kind of an allowance for the rad projects for the two phases that have or have forced us to are very, and more than ever, of the bottom line, on the construction costs. And that said, i feel at this point, some of the projects that you mentioned that you are alluding to, for example, the holy courts and back in 1940, and the original piping has never been replaced and the mold, problems were there and due to the concrete construction. And that property, that we are doing, 20 Million Dollars of rehab. And we are going to be doing, some large, systems replacements, and we are not cutting corners on those areas that effect the life safety, and the building envelope which is the fancy term for Water Proofing and roofing. And for accessibility. And so that was kind of our over all, directive to the tune of life safety and that includes, fire alarm systems and Security Systems and like i said the billing envelope and the accessibility and we have hit all of those marks and because of the favorable terms that we are negotiating with the bank of america we are bringing aa lot more resources into the portfolio and we are going to be able to add back some of the construction items that have been engineered out. And so, even though we would like to have done more and there is always more to be done ore goal, in the 20 year use of life for these properties which is a requirement and it is also, a requirement of the bank. In terms of construction, monitoring, the bank of america, is a construction lender and they have construction supervisors on site at the projects every month, and the city as a construction, member will also be, on the site every month at all 14 projects and will be approving all construction jobs and inspecting work and we will be approving all change orders and we have hired up and so we have now four Construction Managers at the office of Community Development that will be working on the rad projects as well as other projects and i would be happy to provide you more detail on the staff and the work for those folks. But i feel like we have the systems in place to manage this scope. And it is, and it is the developers, and the citys mutual goal to do as much as possible to make and improve the habitbility of these sites for the sake of the residents. So i appreciate that and i am glad that there will be a lot of oversight, but i want to also give you examples of some of the issues that some of the residents faced when we rehab work is done more specifically in the western edition, so for ken garvy, for example which is a project that was completely rehab taited there are residents there that are still having problems with their stoves, and problems with the carpet on their stairs and it is not being installed correctly and the problems with the bars that are hanging where they hang their towels in the rest rooms and the need to basically, you know, put those towel racks back into the wall on several occasions so we are talking about the work is done, the materials are selected and they are installed, and you know, the people who are moving in back into these units, are dealing with basic quality of life things to the point where there are several households that still dont use their stove because of some weird smell, which i know that the developer tried to work to resolve the issue. Again, it is still a problem, with two many of the residents. It is a consistent problem, with a lot of the different residents of garvy and the other project which was completely rebuild was plaza east, also done by related. Some very similar problems, not with the stove, necessarily, but the quality of the appliances. The refrigerater and the bathrooms, and the walls, and the ability to hold towel racks and we are talking about putting one or maybe en two towels on a towel rack which many of us do at home, and the fact that it is a problem, and that is an issue for the residents is something that i am concerned about. The point that i am making is you know, when we look at the quality of life in terms of safety, and making sure that the pipes are installed appropriately, that there are things that deal with, you know, mold issues, and other things in terms of health and safety, issues. We also need to look at, oh, and none of the other things that i could mention is, and installing the carpet. And with no carpet mats or anything, to protect the floor, or anything that, and i mean that, and it might as well not have been carpet installed in the first place. Based on the quality of the carpet that they installed, but more importantly, the fact that there were just it was a flat, basic, carpet that should not have been installed in the first place, so the point that i am making is, i am hoping that when we and we are rehab taiting these properties, that yes, we are doing what we can to meet life and safety standards. But we are also thinking about the people that are going to live here. And making sure that their units are prepared for them, so that we dont want run into a lot of these problems that are sadly consistent with rehabilitation work in any of our affordable Housing Developments. You know i just want to make sure that this is not, continuing to be a problem. And we keep our watchful eye on it. Because, my, i dont want to have to revisit, you know, work on these projects or con stit you ents contacting me about the fact that they cant use their stove, or the fridge is out, or they are running into, whatever problems we are running into. Directly, after rehabilitation project. If we can keep a real sharp eye on projects and making sure that we are holding these developers for a High Standard for the folks that they are, 20 Million Dollars is a lot of money, and i know for construction costs, in San Francisco, sadly, it does not go sometimes a long way. And it is also, definitely not enough to tear down a property and rebuild it, i get that. But it is certainly enough to make sure that we dont have to look at this project and do any additional work, other than basic maintenance for the next ten or 20 years. Thank you, supervisor. I would just like to add one comment. And in connection to your comment. One thing that we are going to be able to do after the rad conversion is actually have on sight property manager fully staffed because of the thoser and funding constraints, it has been common to have one property manager, share them on several sites. And the same thing going for the maintenance and the repair folks, and the janitorial and so we are going to have a much more responsive on sight, Management Structure at each of these Sites Association that in the case, of failing construction or amendies and stoves, etc. There will be fully staffed, property, manager departments available to be responsive and where there has not been before. And that does not, get at your concerns, but hopefully, we will be in a better position to be responsive to the residents. I want to say two things about that, because with plaza east there is a full time on site person, for that property. But, there is no money to do the repairs. There is no money to you know, respond to the residents in a timely manner. So, you know, is that going to change as a result of the program . All of the underwriting requirements include replacement reserve deputy and we also capitalize the replacement reserve for each project and so the project starts out with the healthy reserve. And so for those kinds of capitol repairs. And the bank of america as invester lender will also have the same kind of requirements as does hud and so the idea is to start the project off on the right foot and give them, set up a bank account for them where they can start to make repairs as soon as possible. We also require what is called a po, and a physical Needs Assessment every five years. Where the owner looks at the building, systems and estimates when the things will need repair and so that goes everywhere from boiler system and roots all wait to appliances in the unit form and in the unit and so that is a tool that allows them to plan and look at their reserves that are available. And request additional funds, or plan accordingly, if they are, or if they anticipate a shortfall. So i think under, after rad conversion, there will be more safe guards in place for that allow us to plan and be really thoughtful about these kind of repairs and making sure that we are ready to make them when they are ready to be made. Will the residents be trained in order to take on the important opportunities of Property Management on site Property Management . That is a question that will probably go individually to each of the developers. And some of the developers involved in the rad conversion, have employment programs for residents. For example, Community Health and partnership training, and residents, and low income san franciscans in the clerk, program and they have other, employment, and enterprise, opportunities, and i know that they will be provided the desk clerk staffing to other projects. And so i dont know if those are specifically for rad residents. Okay, is that information that we, or that you can provide my office with . Certainly, we can, we can pull the developers and find out what plans are under way to work with residents in terms of employment opportunities. We do have we are working with the Housing Authority on their employment goal for the construction period. Which requires a 25 percent of the work hours go to Housing Authority residents. And this is not just residents, of the rad, but all of the Housing Authority units and the city has provided funding to the family projects to set up the workforce development, and offices at each site so that is about 7 of the 28 sites, of the receiving workforce, for them right now to help to prepare, residents for the construction work, and through the barrier removal. And provide the Financial Support for the fees, and the groups, and tours and that kind of thing and so that is under way right now at all seven of the family sites. I am thinking also, long term too, in terms of if they are going to have the on site Property Managers it would be great if the residents can receive that kind of, and if there is individuals who are interested, they can begin the process of training now, in order to be prepared when those Job Opportunities become available. We will be sure to have the developer get you that information. Great, thank you. What about the pest control . Is there any plans to do anything long term with the pest control and maintenance . I mean, that is the example the pitch plaza has a really horrible, rat problem. And not mice, rat problem. It is just really, pretty disgusting, and we have called the department of Public Health, and we have tried to figure out ways in order to deal with the fact that you know, clearly, rats are getting into peoples homes through underground, and somehow, through the trees in the walls and i mean that it is a real, horrible, horrible problem and so i would like to know what the plans are when we are talking about rehab these properties what are we doing to protect the residents from rats and mice and roaches from all of the pests that none of us want in our homes . Well, i mentioned all of the city departments that have been contributing to this massive effort, i should have mentioned the department of environment. We have been working with folks there to get complimentary assessments, and the pest assessments at all of the rad sites before closing happens and we have also made sure that pest treatments, are part of every projects relocation plan, as you know, the residents are going to be moving in and out of their units during the construction period. And that provides an opportunity to really, get into the units, and make sure that they are pestfree, once they are reoccupied by the residents. And so, we have a lot of resources on board, there is also money in each projects budget to complete, the work that is recommended, by the department of environment folks, before the conversion. Okay, i would like to invite, todd crater from the tabernacle to talk about the specific plans because we have identified pits as one of the projects that has the most difficult pest issue as we have identified. Okay. Thanks. Supervisor, breed. And i am with the redeveloping of the pits as well as the west side courts. And to address, supervisor breeds question, about pest control, measures. At the current time, we are committing with the assessment of every single unit, by pest tec which is the citys pest control they separately engage, the test tec to move forward with actually identifying the extent and nature of the pest problems including the rodents and the bugs that are going to need an early sort of preconstruction phase the report will be generated and describing, you know, the specific measures, that will, be required to abait the problem. And so, that is, that is the early, lets call it the early abatement process. Prior to actual construction, once we close and get possession of the property, the contractor, will be conducting an abatement process that is intended to basically rid the units of the pe. S that are going to require that kind of, that kind of treatment prior to the and they recommend that the contractor have already agreed to implement to prevent the problem from it and that is fully much the full scope of the program. Thank you e one thing that they were told is services, and that would mean the service at thes site and could you tell me a lil bit about what the plan is for services . Yes, thank you, during the predevelopment period, and in other words, up, and up until, closing in october, the city is provided, predevelopment funds to each site to be able to provide, one on Site Services connector, and so the Services Connector is not case manager, and it is not a social worker, the Services Connector is intended to in the predevelopment period, especially, build the community and build the connections to the existing resources, that the city already is offering residents. It will be used to pay for the service correcter position. The way that it is sized is approximately, one person and one fte, per 75 units and so the larger units or the larger projects will have as many as three ftes, and there is one project in phase two that will have three ftes. And in addition, the Human Services agency, and in a separate contract, was providing, operations, support, to the service connecters. And so, giving them the funds that they need to do their work, whether it is funds for activities and funds for their computers, and funds for their printing and etc. And so, the projects themselves do their operating budgets are just paying this very narrow staffing across and the city is coming in, and supplimenting these additional funds. And i guess that i would like to probably at a later time, more detailed up date about what this would entail because that was one of the most important components in terms of this transition, is making sure that residents have someone who is really an advocate. Of making sure that they are not just getting in an office, but that they are doing, more to meet the residents develop, the trust with the and the opportunity for the reenrolling in school and to getting connected to, like you said, all of the Great Services that exist all over the city and also, and the individuals not feeling comfortable in going to other neighborhoods or other parts of the city. And so, what kind of Mental Health or other kinds of persons we could bring in to the developments directly to help, this is a different component and moving these items forward, i want to make sure that many of the promises that were made to the residents, when we brought the rad program to their attention, that those promises are kept. And that, their expectations of what this program would bring, are not only met, but they are exceeded. And because i, and i do think that, you know, this is, this is, you know, a, a, tool, and i am really, happy that we were able to move through this cycle of implementing this program, so swiftly and i know that we did not have much of a choice with the feds, but i do appreciate the Mayors Office of housing really, rolling up its sleeves and making housing preservation, a priority as it relates to the residents who live in the Public Housing developments and mostly the housing in the city and i mean that this is going to make a difference for so many people. And i am just hoping that, you know, we will see, some significant changes as a result of this program, so thank you. Thank you, supervisor, and i want to share a little bit more detail on the services. As you mentioned, you know, the services folks that are in there, now. Are spending a lot of time, helping residents with the transition, to rad. And the goal of rad is not to impact residents, except for in the positive ways by improving their housing and providing the services but there are certainly administrative tasks that the residents have to complete and so the services folks are helping the residents work through that and understand it. And get them to the table, to complete, these tasks. And one piece of great news, is that we negotiated with the bank of america and as i mentioned the invester and the lender on the portfolio and they are giving another 2. 3 Million Dollars in service fupds to the projects which will be available during the construction period only. It is kind of like a one time, funds, and the developers are going to be able to do that and use those funds, during the relocation, period and the construction period to build community, and assist residents, as they are moving in and out to the relocation and really, have the flexibility to identify where the needs are, in the resident population. And provide, services on and beyond what we had originally budgeted for. If there is any other information that you can provide me for like the bank of america and things that they have done to give back to the city. Because i am not really familiar with anything that they have done to be you know a Good Community partner in San Francisco. And so, that would be really helpful information, as well. Thank you.

This is a long time coming. Back in 2008, voters approved a clean and safe Neighborhood Parks bond which allocated about 14 million to improve this incredible park. Our goal together we are going to build the new dolores park that is going to be built to last. It is going to retain all of its important features, all of its historic qualities, all of its essential beauty. But yet be built with the idea that this is whenever people come. We are going to be renovating all six tennis courts, replacing the Basketball Court with operations underneath so the staff has the ability to maintain the park. We are completely renovating the irrigation system and in addition to the operations we are building two new restroom buildings. This fund was part of the park renovation fund. We knew community was very supportive of a renovation fund. We engaged in a Community Process which we began with the park to do a detailed assessment of the condition of the park and very details conversation about what we can do in the park and utilize what we can. Parks are where people can gather and where to relax and a lot of people in the city dont have back yards and this is where we come to be with our community. 1, 2, 3. [ applause ] [ cheers and applause ] the work begins. music herb theatre,open rehearsal. Listen to the rehearsal. I think it is fun for them, they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. It is good for us. We kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. Msk music we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. We are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. My ambition when i came on as music director here it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. Also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. This was my purpose. And after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. My plan and im absolutely dogmatic about my plans were delayed slightly. I would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, its phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. During this period we got ourselves on National Radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. We continue to tour. Reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. Msk music the bay area knows the orchestra. You maybe take things for granted a little bit. That is simply not the case will go on the road. The audiences go crazy. They dont see vitality like this on stage. We are capable of conveying joy when we play. Msk music any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you havent heard before. String orchestra repertoire is pretty small. I used to be boxed into small repertoire. I kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. If you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. Is our gift. Msk music and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. The most challenging of all. String orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. The challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. I cant tell you how aware i am of the audience. Not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. I have been doing this for a long time. I kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. There is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. And that is our encore on tour. By the way. I am proud to play it, we are from San Francisco. We are going to play that piece no matter where we are. Hi today we have a special edition of building San Francisco, stay safe, what we are going to be talking about San Franciscos earth quakes, what you can do before an earthquake in your home, to be ready and after an earthquake to make sure that you are comfortable staying at home, while the city recovers. The next episode of stay safe, we have Alicia Johnson from San Franciscos department of emergency management. Hi, alicia thanks to coming it is a pleasure to be here with you. I wonder if you could tell us what you think people can do to get ready for what we know is a coming earthquake in San Francisco. Well, one of the most things that people can do is to make sure that you have a plan to communicate with people who live both in and out of state. Having an out of state contact, to call, text or post on your social network is really important and being able to know how you are going to communicate with your friends, and family who live near you, where you might meet them if your home is uninhab hitable. How long do you think that it will be before things are restored to normal in San Francisco. It depends on the severity of the earthquake, we say to provide for 72 hours tha, is three days, and it helps to know that you might be without services for up to a week or more, depending on how heavy the shaking is and how many after shocks we have. What kind of neighborhood and Community Involvement might you want to have before an earthquake to make sure that you are going to able to have the support that you need. It is important to have a Good Relationship with your neighbors and your community. Go to those community events, shop at local businesses, have a reciprocal relationship with them so that you know how to take care of yourself and who you can rely on and who can take care of you. It is important to have a batteryoperated radio in your home so that you can keep track of what is happening in the Community Around and how you can communicate with other people. One of the things that seems important is to have access to your important documents. Yes, it is important to have copies of those and also stored them remotely. So a title to a home, a passport, a drivers license, any type of medical records that you need need, back those up or put them on a remote drive or store them on the cloud, the same is true with any Vital Information on your computer. Back that up and have that on a cloud in case your hard drive does not work any more. In your home you should be prepared as well. Absolutely. Lets take a look at the kinds of things that you might want to have in your home. We have no water, what are we going to do about water . It is important for have extra water in your house, you want to have bottled water or a five gallon container of water able to use on a regular basis, both for bathing and cooking as well as for drinking. We have this big container and also in peoples homes they have a hot water heater. Absolutely, if you clean your hot water heater out regularly you can use that for showering, drinking and bathing as well what other things do people need to have arent their home. It is important to have extra every day items buy a couple extra cans of can food that you can eat without any preparation. Here is a giant can of green giant canned corn. And this, a manual can opener, your electric can opener will not be working not only to have one but to know where to find it in your kitchen. Yes. So in addition to canned goods, we are going to have fresh food and you have to preserve that and i know that we have an ice chest. Having an ice chest on hand is really important because your refrigerator will not be working right away. It is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able to take with you if you have to leave your home. And here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. I hope that you have an alternative one at home. Oh, i forgot. And in this is really important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. I have them right here. Good. Excellent. That is great. Additionally, yoare going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. Markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home. I am okay and i will meet you at. Exactly. Exactly. Water proof matches are a great thing to have as well. We have matches here. And my spare glasses. And your spare glasses. If you have medication, you should keep it with you or have access to it. If it needs to be refrigerated make sure that it is in your ice box. Inside, just to point out for you, we have spare batteries. Very important. We have a little first aid kit. And lots of different kinds of batteries. And another spare flashlight. So, alicia what else can we do to prepare our homes for an earthquake so we dont have damage . One of the most important things that you can do is to secure your valuable and breakable items. Make sure that your tv is strapped down to your entertainment cabinet or wall so it does not move. Also important is to make sure that your book case is secure to the wall so that it does not fall over and your valuable and breakables do not break on the ground. Becoming prepared is not that difficult. Taking care of your home, making sure that you have a few extra everyday items on hand helps to make the difference. That contributes dramatically to the way that the city as a whole can recover. Absolutely. If you are able to control your own environment and house and recovery and your neighbors are doing the same the city as a whole will be a more resilient city. We are all proud of living in San Francisco and being prepared helps us stay here. So, thank you so much for joining us today, alicia, i appreciate it. Absolutely, it is my pleasure. And thank you for joining us on another edition of building well, he wanted to welcome everybody to it gorgeous day at contemporary hundred and 65 people registered to attend this conference mayor we couldnt be more existed that is beyond our expectation but as you may know dreamforcwe is for the just about having a good time and innovation but giving back thats one the salesforce core values and thats why we invited you as the superintendent of sexual Richard Carranza welcome to, here we have our 1 millbrook drive so, yeah exciting so we have obligate our school house to keep everybodys on the eye bone the ball k through 12 not only in San Francisco needs our attendance and the people that make the difference which if come to the k through 12 education are the people attends dreamforcwe that is, of course, all those great embarrassing insures and innovators and companies and we that to inspire them to remember to go and work in the k through 12 system were, of course, doing f that in San Francisco we want to tutor giving but e us the inspiration that work in our Elementary School and hopefully e heroism into our high schools.

The most contrary composer of this time if you accountability his music you would think hes a camera come important he become ill and it was crazy he at the end of his life and pushed the boundary to think were not acceptable at this point for sure it had a great influence he was a great influence on the harmonic language on the contemporary up to now. I thought it would be interesting because they have e he was contemporary we use him on this and his life was you kill our wife you get poisons all those things are Great Stories for on opera. I was leaving behind a little bit which those collaborative dancers i was really trying to focus on opera. A friend of mine said well, what would you really want to do i said opera what is it not opera parallel. Why isnt it are that i have the support now we can do that. I realized that was something that wasnt being done in San Francisco no other organization was doing this as opposed to contemporary we are very blessed in San Francisco to have organizations well, i thought that was going to be our speciality you create a conceptual idea for setting the opera and you spear ahead and work with the other sdierndz to create an overview vision thats the final product felt opera. I was very inspired to work with him because the way he looked at the key is the way i looked at sports looking at the daily. So much our mandate is to try to enter disis particular work theres great dancers and theatre actresses and choirs weve worked with and great video artists is a great place to collect and collaborate. I had a model they have a professionally music yes, maam assemble and as a student i benefited from being around this professional on and on soccer ball and as a conductor id be able to work with them and its helped my growth i had a dream of having a professional residential on and on soccer ball to be an imperial it operates as a laboratory we germ a national the ideas technically and work with activity artists and designers and video all over the on any given project to further the way we tell stories to improve our ability to tell stories on stage. Thats part of the opera lab i was to investigate that aspect of renaissance and new work so thats why this piece it is important it was a renaissance composer. There were young people that are not interested in seeing traditional opera and like the quality and its different it has a story telling quality every little detail is integrated and helps to capture the imagination and thats part of the opera how we can use those colors into the language of today. So one of the great things of the stories of opera and story combined with opera music it allows people to let go and be entertained and enjoy the music instead of putting on headphones. Thats what is great about art sometimes everyone loves it because you have to, you know, really great you have to have both some people dont like it and some people do were concerned about that. Its about thirty something out there thats risky. You know, disliked by someone torn apart and thats the whole point of what were drying to do you never take this for granted you make sure it is the best if you can.

It is such an exhilarating experience when people began to feel their own creativity. This really is a place where all people can come and take a class and fill part of the community. This is very enriching as an artist. A lot of folks take these classes and take their digital imagery and turn it into negatives. There are not many black and white darkrooms available anymore. That is a really big draw. This is a signature piece. This is the bill largest darkroom in the u. S. There are a lot of people that want to get into that dark room. I think it is the heart of this place. You feel it when you come in. The people who just started taking pictures, so this is really an intersection for many generations of photographers and this is a great place to learn because if you need people from different areas and also everyone who works here is working in photography. We get to build the community here. This is different. First of all, this is a great location. It is in a lesspopulated area. Of lot of people come here just so that they can participate in this program. It is a great opportunity for people who have a little bit of photographic experience. The people have a lot, they can really come together and share a love and a passion. We offer everything from traditional black and white darkrooms to learning how to process your first roll of film. We offer classes and workshops in digital camera, digital printing. We offer classes basically in the shooting, ton the town at night, treasure island. There is a way for the programs exploring everyone who would like to spend the day on this program. Hello, my name is jennifer. My name is simone. We are going on a field trip to take pictures up the hill. Cmon, cmon, cmon. Actually, i have been here a lot. I have never looked closely enough to see everything. Now, i get to take pictures. We want to try to get them to be more creative with it. We let them to be free with them but at the same time, we give them a little bit of direction. You can focus in here. That was cool. If you see that . Behind the city, behind the houses, behind those hills. The see any more hills . These kids are wonderful. They get to explore, they get to see different things. We let them explore a little bit. They get their best. If their parents ever ask, we can learn they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of thirds or that the shadows can give a good contrast. Some of the things they come up with are fantastic. That is what were trying to encourage. These kids can bring up the creativity and also the love for photography. A lot of people come into my classes and they dont feel like they really are creative and through the process of working and showing them and giving them some tips and ideas. This is kind of the best kept secret. You should come on and take a class. We have orientations on most saturdays. This is a really wonderful location and is the real jewel to the community. Ready to develop your photography skills . The Harvey Milk Photo Center focuses on adult classes. And saturday workshops expose youth and adults to photography classes. Hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for.
