All right. Thank you very much someone from the Mayors Office to present on this item. Mr. Buckly. Good afternoon supervisors im jeff from the mayors staff to talk about the 51 Street Project as long as ocean wide give you a brief update or overview of the project and in addition that give you an opportunity to hear about an interesting aspect of the project which is the urban rum well have the project sponsor come up for that 3 to 5 minutes go through the concept and the need and i think you have a array of city staff to take any questions you may have on the amend e item, however, large or Going Forward i wanted to start off by talking about the project so 41 street is a mixed use project at the Northeast Corner of first street and mission for one million square feet of total office space 200 and 64 units, one hundred and 69 room hotel and ground floor retail and pub opted open space to two towers this space received its approval from the Planning Commission on may 5th whos before you the street vacation of own alley and a portion of jessie street and also in addition to that some of the details of the downtown Preservation Fund ill be happy to with you on so the main reason for the legislation before you the vacation of jessie which is necessary in order to build the administrator tower to the height contemplated in the district plan that was adopted in 2012 the plan is a comprehensive vision for shaping and growth in the Southern Side of downtown the Transit Center focuses on regional growth towards downtown San Francisco and in a sustainable manner for the sculpting thought you tower and the extra and improvements to the streets and the open space as the parks downtown in order to make that happen it includes the clarification of parcels in the area to increase height limits and including a landmark tower from the Transit Center from one thousand feet and several other nearby sites with 6 to 8 hundred and 50 feet the plan leverages the intent to generate revenue for the transportation facilities including the support for the new Transit Center and downtowns improvements of the sidewalks and other infrastructure to create a public realm so some of the think interesting aspects of this project just so youre aware of that includes some of the one time fees that are generated from the project again this is not the issue about you but important to understand the project in general estimated to generate one and 17 million fees those fees are die construction dot net for an issuance of november 2016 this is about one . 9 million for downtown parks and 2. 9 million for school and childcare millions and sustainability fee and talk about did Affordable Housing consultant in addition to the downtown lease but the Transit Center is 11 want 9 with the transportation street is 3747 so the issue before you is the street and authorization to create the new downtown Preservation Fund so the i wanted to first talk about with you the purchase for jessie alley so this is the Purchase Price is 22 million, about 22. 6 to be exact providing the closings doesnt occur beyond or before the Effective Date which will be 33 million plus and in addition to that in partial consideration the citys agreement to sell the property the buyer will produce the 20 percent inclusionary fees that maybe applicable under the San Francisco planning code section to 33 percent Affordable Housing fee the Affordable Housing payment as it is known and the city will waiver the portion the Downtown Program as well for this the fee buyer will pay for the project under the planning code but weve essentially down is create this fund and fees and kept them one a mile radius to the principle project and dictated those for purposes of acquisition and in that one mile area that fund will be in use for no less than 10 years and acquire administrative code by the Mayors Office of Community Development that is a brief discussion i think the purpose for us being here i want to invite a representative of the project sponsor to come up for about 3 to 5 minutes to discuss the urban Room Development and how it relates to the street vacation for the context. Thank you, mr. Buckley welcome. Good afternoon, supervisors with reuben, junius rose representing the project sponsor for the ocean wide center were going to keep our focus specifically on the items the street vacation component and the ordinances that allows the direction of some of the Affordable Housing Development Impact fees for the community in the big picture the project has approve pattersons within the past month including the Planning Commission approval on may 5th when the entitlements were approved it includes the 5 thousand square feet of area that is fronting jesz i didnt street and the additional were here for the recommendation on the vacation component and as i said on the use of required and voluntary Affordable Housing impact fee payments so quickly i want to mention on the street vacation the fact were asking to vacate or with the existing streets and mean well have access public assess around the project prompt and in reality you think that is the case with respect to jessie street terminates at one street and in conjunction with the street vacation creating a number of easements that allows the project assess for a pedestrian cross and throughout the site so one of the key reasons this is this the driving the open room a pubically assessable open space that is on first street and the dedicated parts of jessie street within the urn area the second component before you is the creation of downtown neighborhoods Preservation Fund that allows the project job linkage fee and the 20 percent of Affordable Housing fee and an additional 13 percent Affordable Housing to be directed and used within a mile radius of the site more Affordable Housing purposes so i the now im going to turn it over to to my colleague b that will talk about the visible where the streets radio located our entire team is here and available to answer any questions you may have. Hello. Hello, im carmen yee for the ocean wide project can we switch so were talking about the benefit quite a low the project is part of transbay redevelopment we called the transit redevelopment plan the district plan and two towers two hundred and 65 units actually unit one hundred and 69 hotel and one office space that the whole project is about mixed use project so the project at the corner of Mission Street on the north and west corner and the basics Design Concept we tried to bring create a friendly place for the city so to achieve that together with surrounding environment with the Transbay Center the south tower and alley we tried to implement our project and to keep the passages through jessie street and the alley and create a connection from the mission to jessie to the hotel so inside of the passage is Transit Development plan we add more and also, we exhaustive jessie center of the middleincome passenger way so the towers are over the heart of the urban space we call the urban room this is the designation for the neighborhood for the visitors and the users for this site so everyone has a friendly open to the Public Open Space and have the fully assess passage to connect to it. So heres an animation we wanted to show you so take into account of time to load. So the basically concept is a traditionally central core which leads and on the ground floor to the floor is open and jessie street turned 90 degrees by doing that we have a fully opened pedestrian friendly your honor, room space for the city for the neighborhood and for the project itself so the project that we mentioned the jessie streets turned 90 streets all of jessie will keep open for Emergency Vehicle and long trucks so this is the design idea for this your own room one hundred and 16 by 200 plus with a high 6 feet 8 feet the urban room will have the functioning side to besides the setting back and you can do performance and gathering and Art Exhibition and night things and this you urban room is open for the public and again jessie street turns 90 feet, however, keeping the inteshgz through the urban design and through the security cars to carefully maintain the city for this urban use so this is a diagram that shows the vacation this is basically partial of the jessie street and partial of the ed dom alley as it is by doing this we will achieve 3 goals one we create a landmark tower with benefits for the city, second we achieve the much enriched to the pedestrian Middle Passage for the neighborhood and third we achieve the 26 thousand open space which for the opens for the city for the neighbors and for the folks. Thats it. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Buckly something in closing. We are here and have city staff to answer any questions.

Well close Public Comment and motion commissioner crews to approve the minutes and second and take that without objection. We need a second. Commissioner campos i tried to second as a chair. Item 3, Community Choice aggregation actaveties report. Status update on clean power sf and stating update on proceedings Michael Himes on behalf of general manager hale. I have a few quick items and happy to entertain questions. I brought the communication director Charles Sheen relate today the outreach efforts to date and looking forward. First of all, and perhaps most importantly im happy and proud to announce in terms of cca status updates, for the first time we are operational. On may 1, clean power w sf served customer jz today is the 19th day of operations. Took a lot of work to get here and i know this body was central to that effort. Along the lines of good news, our opt out rates continue to be very low. We are still just under 1 percent of total opt outs for the may enrollment. At the beginning of the week we began the issuance of the third stattory set of notices to customers about enrollment and well send those out throughout the course of the month. Customers will get their first clean power powersf bill now. The [inaudible] will get the first bills in june. We expect to see a second opt out because that makes the experience real when you get a bill but the rate we are seeing we think is great and expect it to stay low, lower than the twnt percent we were originally expecting. Just a question on bills, i do all my bills for pg e on line and dont receive bills, just paying it and wonder if that changes it all because i joined clean powersf. No changes, you can will continue to pay on line. I believe pg e will send you a link to view the bill on line and it will identify the clean powersf charges on the bill. There will be a page with clean powersf charges summarize jd detailed as well. It should be a seamless experience and continue to pay the same way you would. For those getting paper bills, is sthr some dramatic thing people will see that could encourage them to opt out . Is that nothing dramatic. What theyll see is a line on the summary page of the bill that identifies clean powersf charges. That will be the first time they see that. They may call and ask questions and hopefully theyve read the notices we have been sending them but at that point they probably would have received 4. Again, when you pay your bill customers will study it. Some customers will study it and that may be where they really reach out to us and have more questions. On the opt out rate we are less than 1 percent and. 0001 is less than 1 percent. Good question. We are about. 9 of a percent. And then. 9 of a percent yeah,. 009. That is a big difference. That is close to zero. Yes. And then given that small sample of people who opt out what are the reasons people say . We are tracking that. They range from not wanting to leave their current provider to not wanting to take service from local government to a perception that the cost may go up. I say though the majority areanother one does tend to be the automatic enrollment mechanism. We are talking about a small sample overall. Very very small. Okay, thank you. So, continuing on the customer enrollment line here, we are continuing to receive sign ups on line and through our Public Outreach activities. I believe last time we reported to you on earth day we had a very successful earth week and got a lot of sign ups and that continues. At that time we had 240 sign ups. We now have 340 and 70 percent of those are super green services. So, we are seeing a trend for those who sign up they want to go super green, which is great. With respect to proceedings of the cpuc we continue to monitor there and proceedings that may effect pg e cost to make sure the costs are nolt unfairly shifted to customers. We focus on power judge adjustment and other fees pg e can assign to customers for departing their service. On this front i want to mention we are working collaborativety with all the or the ccas in operation and communities are investigating cca. This is the top regulartory priority for a cca program and working to make sure we have a unified front at the cpuc on this issue. You may recall in march there was a workshop at the cpuc very well attended. A number of the San Francisco stakeholders spoke at that workshop. We are expecting soon a workshort report to be issued, that is pending and told it is imminent. We also spect there will be a Comment Period that will involve procedures. That is all i have so if you have any questions or relate d to the outreach effort. I have a question, where can i get more of these . We had a special question at question time last week, the big giant pumpkin ball we set up to the mayor to knock out of the Board Chamber and didnt quite do it, so i think we really making sure that at least from the Mayors Office as well we are getting the kind of outreach and viberancy robustness for a Outreach Program that wasnt indicated by his answering at question time. Sure, charles new title today, im acting communication director for sfpuc but still overseeing communication and outreach for the clean powersf program. To your point on the mayor, last week or two weeks ago we work would the Mayors Office on a national cmcbc news story about San Francisco Clean Energy Goals highlighting and features clean powersf. The mayor was interviewed twnt or 30 minutes on clean powersf and cities other Clean Energy Goals and the segment aired on cmbc and money nightly report. Can i ask a question about that . Did the mayor spend time trashing the program we killed 3 years ago . No it would be off mesling to do that which is what he did in the Board Chamber. Focused on the future and 100 positive story and that is what aired nationally on the news during the day. They did a live cut over from the sun set reservoir where they said we are here in San Francisco at a sun set reservoir solar rea and doing more solar and cut to the [inaudible] about our 100 Percent Renewable Energy goals as well as east hampton in long island about their Renewable Energy goals. East coast and west coast motif and was a fabulous story about the work we do in San Francisco. In terms of the clings we have two clings, so we always do dual diligence andordser in bulk so if you run out of those we ordered quite a bit but it is best toordser as much as you can at once, so we have more of those if you need them. The goal is since every wnl is opting in, everyone can opt into the light green and the goal is get as many super green people to sign up. Correct. What is our numerical goal . We committed to a 5 percent super green sign up throughout the year for two enrollments and as our director said, the super green sign ups are increasing every day and as we get closer to august, september, we will work with the department of environment using their inhouse staff, their door to door Outreach Team to do some of just that in our next enrollment in districts 5, and 8 and do door door, some neighborhood canvasing and set up your ironing board at the corner to get more super greens and they will provide staff and people power to do that and we want to continue to move forward towards the 5 percent goal and so far so good. We are continuing to get those sign ups. The 5 percent goal was set because that is what we expected we could get or thought what we could only win for sign ups . We took a very detailed look at what other green power programs achieved with their 100 percent renewinable energy sign ups. We looked at smud green energy program. We looked at portland gas and electric and had the high bar for participation in 100 percent renewable and are at 12 percent but have been operating for a number of years. We did a deep dive analysis oon green power programs in the west coast are experiencing in terms of Adoption Rate for their 100 Percent Program and came up with what we think is good estimate, fifen percent and think well relook at it as we continue to launch but that the first estimate and hope to get as close to that and see that and with each new sign up we are close toor the goal. That is the short term goal. What does st. Look like like 5 years out . 5 years out, i dont know if i thought that far. We want as many people signed up for super green as possible. Our green renewable content will rise over the year jz ill let him comment how fast it will rise but we are at 35 and that is on going to go up. We want to get as quickly as possible where the only product is 100 Percent Renewable Energy or have different types of 100 renewable so that is long term or medium goals. Commissioner crews. Thank you so much. Thank you for mr. Herns and shin for your information and sharing that with me. I dont want to get too in the weeds but excited to hear about next steps what is the communication plan look like . I did allude to some of the items earlier. We will partner with department of environment to do door to door on the grounds outreach. We have begin pivots to district 5 and 8 for enrollment and reached out to all the neighborhood groups and merchant groups to make sure we getoon their calendar for a presentationment. We also pert together had second round of enrollment notice. August is around the corner so do that as well. We will be doing a little more advertising, potentially billboards and in the muni station. The first enrollment wasnt suited for that because it was so small and for commercial business but with residential customers there will be a lotplore customers so it will be suit today advrertising in the billboards and muni. We are working on all those items now and then because we also have a lit lt more time and elude to this before, prior to august, late june and throughout july there will be more flurry of actaveyty on social media and vieral campaigns to get people to sign up word of mouth which isologist effective. I was at the league of [inaudible] they were talking about how word of mouth they told their friend and told someone and that is effective tool for super green sign ups. We are pivoting for the second outreach coming up and that will be a lot of activity. Ioasked at the last meeting talking about how the supply is all local from the bay area and said we have something cooking and we did but two weeks later we had a mbc news story featuring siley wind project and our assistant went up and talked there and they were interviewed on camera and that story aired and featureed how the supply will be local so you can probably search for that on the mbc website. I have it recorded. Very good. I wanted to follow up it was really great. With the more consumer targeted communications will we see then the idea of the super green super hero used, is that the goal . Yes, we are looking at using that images, there are icons for or first enrollment mailer. We were still looking at that. One of the challenges with enrollment mailers is we have to translate the terms and conditions into 4 different languages and that presents a bit of a mailer and information challenge so we want to use the super green super hero much more as we do more advertising so think you will see a lut more of that. Thank you so much. Thank you. Jason fried executive officer for lafco. To add what they were talking about for those that want the [inaudible] i have them. I will be at the harvey milk Birthday Celebration sunday put on Harvey Milk Democratic Club and more people wim have these for people that already signed up and you can pick it up there or find ways to get those that already signed up but those are mainly for those looking for super green. That is quhie i left one at each of your desks because you aurltd signed up. For those that dont sign up for super green we will have for the green. Go to clean powersf. Org enroll and enroll now. Outside the marketing stuff i have been helping with, lafco did a job analysis of what jobs look like. We did the [inaudible] report talking about the ability to create thousands of jobs with the launch of a program. Some asked we are launching the jobs where are all the jobs and took a step back and said the 9,000 jobs was over a 20 or 30 year window and are not all created on day one. What is San Franciscos programs looking at and what did the other programs look at . Specifically on the construction side. How quickly did they get to their first projects built. What you find is the two bay area cca programs marin and sonoma on dione didnt have the project said built. A lot of other factors involvesonoma got there quickly. Lancaster got there quick but it sin the hot spot of solar. They can produce the best quality solar at the cheapest price, much better than the bay area. They have a much lower exist fee. They dont belong to pg e and are in southern cam edison so they have advantages over the bay area, cca. The report looked and shows there are jobs that get created out of laurching a program and looked at the future potential as we ramp up and add more customers. How do we do that. We did the anal iss in the report and if you have questions i can answer it otherwise ill leave it at that. Great. Thank you. Questions from here . Thank you for your presentations and your work and analysis. Appreciate it and well go to Public Comment. Any member like to comment sxh forward and well do fwo minutes per person. Hello. [inaudible] 350 sf. Thank you to staff for all the work and worked with them a couple time at sundray streets to try to sign people up. If you google clean powersf stop the shell shock was the first thing to come up and now it isnt on the first page but the things that do come up with clean powersf website and wikipedia entry which was written by stop the shell shock and i commandeered and rewrote and reedit until they gave up. I check td now, it is updated by someone with sane information but still not asf last fall. I think the puc should watch the wikipedia page. [inaudible] 1245 can go and write whatever they want and they used to. Looking at the website it is a bunch of blocks. I think as we make this more consumer facing we may want to make the clean powersf branded a little differently than just the puc header with different content. Really the thing i want to harp on the most is increasing the speed of phasing this in city wide and definitely talked to them about it and puc commission, but ultimately when we look at Silicon Valley and the peninsula they are phasing in their entire load in 18 months to 2 years and we are talking about taking a lot longer than that. Punenz luis doing a third at a time so start with well more than our first two phases will add up to. I know there iswe have to buy the power but we have the customers and know that we wont get opt out more than we are buying power so just like to ask we do what we can. Thank you very much. Any other member of the public like to comment . Seeing none, well close Public Comment. I think our website is really critical the next few months so we can see how we can measure what is working along the way and make updates, that will be great. Next item, please. Item 4, final report on the stid oon what the city and county of San Francisco can do to help increase voter turnout. Jason fried execive office. We did a presentation last month on the draft report and received comments back and made edits. Most of the edits are technical in nature. There were two areas where we did addition to had report itself. When i say addition i talk like a paragraph or two. On the vote by mail section we didnt discussialo county, they did do a vote by mail. Something similar san mateo so added information about that and we did do there was a piece of legislation that was introduced at the legislative level we mentioned at the last meeting but not in the report done by assimbly member david chew. The rest is basically the same. It is good solid report.

Item 6. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners any comment . Discussion only. We are on item 7, west sun set playground. Al good morning commissioners. Dan mower Capital Division. The item before you we presented at the capital committee. It was discussion only item because i didnt have the paperwork to give a formal report but now that we have a few weeks happy to announce we have a contractor on board that we like to have you award a construction contract to. This is for West Sunset Playground renovation project. This is one of the 2012 park bond programs and taken a little longer to get this moving. We went through a process and advertised and bid the project and the bids came in extremely high during the first go so had to adjust and rebid the project. We did that and ended up with two bids. One was extremely outrageous but the other was within our means and enyour packages you can see a summary of had bid results that came in. What we propose is the Commission Award a construction contract to [inaudible] landscape and construction ink in amount of 9, 788,000. We have bid items worked into the project but with the bid price we wont be able to exercise those and try to get those at the back ends of the project. We will monitor that closely and make sure we get the best bang for the dollar. We anticipate starting construction at the end of july and hope to open the facility back up july 2017. If you have questions . In the package i believe you have a site plan of the facility. Roughly about 15 acre facility, 3 soccer fields, 3 baseball fields, parking lot and aminities. thank you. Mr. Ginsbirg did you is a question . Can you run us through the alternate and budgets are . A couple i felt were important. There is elements i think are i like to see us all Work Together to figure a way to get 24e78 back into the project. Where to start answering that question. The first question is alternate bid items were replacement of the upper baseball field for lighting. The other is renovation of a smaller womans restroom down at the lower bleacher section. The original project had two restroom buildings for the women only because the plumbing and current configuration allowed for that. The small one is open munday through friday and as eventss required open the larger. The womens restroom was a alternate bid item. The last is plants and shrubs and larger planting bids. Those were the 3 that include the gateway the pillars . No, this is just the vegetation itself, the green. That is why i prefaced my comment when i started this is we have gone through this twice now to get it into a reasonable budget. The project had pillarssimilar what you see at haight street. A shed at the upper soccer field. The other engineering opportunities we took to get into budget were adjusting the ada access requirements. As i mentioned at the Committee Level this park has a grade change 40 to 45 feet and make tg accessible for folks in wheelchairs and mobility impavement it is lot of ramps and concrete that need to be implemented so we were able to reduce that to reduce the cost. The upper restrooms in the upper baseball feed are omitted. What is had cost of lighting . Approximately 160,000 for the upper field lights. What were the cost of the pillars . I center to get back on that one. That was broken out sometime ago so dont have that at my finger tips. I like to propose commissioner, there are elements of the project that are painful to have to have given up and i know where we are with open space on the contingencies or reserve but i like to do more work with dan and think about potentially bringing some either one of the funding back or the pillars are no longer in the project and see if we can figure a way toresusitate that cant we have the contract as gone out to bid several times. Can we move this contract forward subject to a change order in case additional funding is found in order to cover any alternates . I guess that is a question to both of you. The possibility exists. I dont have a figure for you at the moment to share, so if you want to take an action today on that it would be a arbitary faigier. Under the contracting law we have the ability to go up to 10 percent the contract amount without sxhing back for your approval. If we find additional funding i am more than happy to come back and share with the group and commission and ask for the fee increase. I propose we move forward with the contract but come back if we identify alternate funds in your discretion and one is [inaudible] and one is a change order. Let dan and i do work and come back to you to the Commission Even if it is above 10 percent. We move the contractthis is to the West Sunset Playground users i think we have to get this going. I agree. Let me suggest twee get Public Comment and then i have a question for dan. Anyone who would like to make Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Dan, the second highest bid was 35 percent higher. Can you give a rough estimate of why that is . That is a good question and i asked a lot of folks in the contracting world why some of the numbers are so large. To be frank i think contractors out there are so busy and the bid pool is show shy people are throwing numbers randomly at the table and if it sticks it is gravy and if it doesnt they have nothing to lose. This happened on the first bid cycle one came in excess of 3 Million Dollars and the second bid was the same. It is frustrating not having clear response why they are doing that, it just doesnt make sense. Dpw with their drebter and project Management Team are going through a exercise looking at all the bids from the different departments inside and outside the agency and what they are finding is bids are between 25 and 30 percent above estimates. It is a difficult exercise for the Capital Division to put a fine pencil sharp point on estimating even with third party estimators we had 3 firms on this particular project to make sure we cross reference the numbers but when you put it out for bid it is a throwing out into a black box and dont know what you will get back. Thank you. Seeing no other questions, i entertain a motion. So moved. Moved and seconded. All in favor . Aye so moved. We are on item 8, galf green fees approval of increase. Goon morning, tom heart with [inaudible] management. First i would like to start with a couple corrections. I spoke with our City Attorney last week to change agenda wording which you have in your packet, but does not match the agenda that went out. The two items have to do with including the Effective Date july 1 of 2016 and we decided not to increase the junior rate, so the language that you have that would be voting on today is correct. I was advised by the City Attorney i can make the change orally at the meeting. One other thing even though i looked at the charts numerous times, there is one rate that is incorrect which i like to correct for the report. In lincoln park the resident rate should be 25. Excuse me, 26 and listed as 25. According to section 1220 and park code, the Department Without further approval beyond the commission is eligible to raise green fees 1 or cpi each year. We did not do this last year due to a number of reasons including some course conditions. We just finished renovating the growns at harding and had water work done and so decide not to do that. It is time that we ask for increase in green fees. As i explained in the write up, the reason we chose to do the dollar this time instead of cpi because it raises the highest rate out of comparable courses specifically at harding. If this is passed today it would go into effect july 1. We are expecting probably additionalprobably closing this fiscal year with 207,000 round up last year. We are doing well, the weather is good and courses in good condition. If we do that we expect additional 200 thousand in the budget for next year. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item . Being none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner mcdonnell. In the background references being competitive and forgive my ignoreance, what is competitive mean by raising prices . It is really the golf industry changed tremendously in the last 2 or 3 years. We did research and most dont post rate because they do [inaudible] pricing. If you want to know the rate for tuesday at 10 oclock they call the course and tell you what it is. It could have changed that morning. It is difficult for us to coo that in a government setting. We have flexible pricing which i brought to you and took to the the board before that we can raise rates 25 percent and non resident rates up to 50 percent with notice to the department and approval. We have just recently started a new tee time system called, easy links which has a program that will help do that automatically. We arei talked to the general manager at harding a couple days ago and we are probably going to start that around july 1 which will give us data so we are going to be able to make sure we are where we should be within the golf market. The problem is as i said, applying cpi oppose d to the dollar will actuallyened up raising the higher rates and not sometimes the lower rates. We need more higher rates to be able to keep our resident rates as low as possible for our golfers. Thank you. Commissioner low. Also not being a golfer and it is a while since we looked at golf fees and what the glen eagles lease amendment but how does the dynamic pricing fit in with this 1 fee hike . Does it give the opportunity to raise more duringraise the golf fees higher during peak times . We will be able to do that and lower it during low times. There is some signs on a key sheet on a day especially during the week they are always emty and so 50 percent of something is better than zero. This will help make those judgments. By law we can only reduce things up to 25 percent. Was it easy links with the computer supposed to link all the reservation times, has that gone in place now . We we just started that. It is in place and all the golf courses with the exception of golden gate park. What this fee increase which i support, there was some accommodations made for particular golf courses in terms of improvements to that golf course that the department had to contribute quite a bit of money, is there tonight to recover some of those costs . [inaudible] we probably will, but we cant raise the prices unless the quality of the course is there. I think the courses are doing well. I havent been out to glen eagles recently. I visited lincoln and golden gate and all are in much better condition than this time last year. Thank you. Seeing no other comments, entertain a motion. Moved and seconded. All in favor . Aye. So moved. We are on number 9, San Francisco southern bayfront. This is discussion only item commissioners. Tom, do you want to grab nicole . She is in the hallway. Commissioners you will hear a presentation right now from the Mayors Office of economic and Work Force Development on some very deep thinking going on about and planning along the southern waterfront and moewd is wonderful and collaborative bringing in the rec and Park Department and a lot of our sister agencies to think about growth in the southeast hol istically. You will here amazing stats. By 2025 we are expected to increase the population by close to 300,000 people along the southern waterfront. San francisco overall population growth [inaudible] i will shut up and let them do that. What is mostimportant is the way the city is looking at development along the southern waterfront with a focus and priority insureing open space to balance growth. Ill turn it over to ken rich thank you. Good morning commissioners. We are pleased to be here to give you this report on a effort that is justating for some time now. Oewd and city agencies including this department aimed producing the best results for the city from a number of unique large developments that are proposed in area we are calling the southern bayfront. Context, if you take a look at the slide and look at it moving clockwise from the lower left, the first zones in the red and green are under federal control ggnra. With your ownership and [inaudible] and we are not expecting much to change in the future. These are the areas that stay the way they are. These are open spaces och various kinds. The third area in blue is what we think of when we imagine the San Francisco waterfront. Change here will happen slowly. It is fairly controversial and dont expect to see a lot changing. Which leaves the yellow from att park to had southern boarder of the city, this is a part of the waterfront we believe we will see a lot of change and observers will welcome the change as long as it is benefit to the neighborhoods. The remainder of our short presentation focus on ideas we have been working on how to manage change for the city in the best way. If we zoom in we can say thatzoom in on the area we call the southern bayfront and the key point is this is already a place where people live and work, but also a part of the city that will see the most growth in residential and commercial development in the coming decades. We already have 36,000 People Living here and 23,000 people working here. How do we manage and shape the grouth for the good of the city and neighborhoods . The fact is, most of the Large Scale Development we will see in the southern bayfront is already known and on the horizon. Whether it is implementation such as Hunters Point candlestick or pier 70 or giant mission rock or india basin and pg and e site. Look at the very compelling stats on the slide. Well see at least 20,000 new housing unit created in the southern bayfront. A third will be affordable. We will see 35,000 job and relevant to you and astounding stat about 520 acres of new open space which is virterally all the open space we will see in the city. This is important. Really important for this commission. A couple of the projects that i mentioned are already approved, the ship yard candle stick and have them on the slide to focus on the 5 large projecktds still to be approved. All the projects seek to transforchl formally industrial land with no open space, housing and commercial. The investments are a benefit for the city, wree focused on claiming as much of that benefit and that value created as possible for our residents and neighborhoods. All of these projects will come in front of various commissions and boards in some cases in front of and and board of supervisors as negotiated Development Agreements. These are too big and complicated to be zoning entitlement. You will see a schedule later and all come in the next couple years. What we are proposing and the remainer of the presentation will outline is a framework. Look at them together and figure what is Community Benefit we want to negotiate globally. If we need the Community Benefits we have a whole framework. As we negotiate benefits around transportation and open space affordsability we want to think of them as a whole and not bringing one off deal tooz look at each time. I will bring up my colleagues, lee [inaudible] who will take you through quickly each of the topics and try to focus for this preg presentation on the open space issue and discuss how we want to negotiate these. Thanks ken. Im lee [inaudible] as ken discussed the framework will aim to coordinate investment from the diverse projects into a number of key focus areas. You see the areas at the bottom of the slides and subsquents slides will go into more detail. Affordable housing our goal is achieve 33 percent affordability across the projects. This will pruss over 6500 units of Affordable Housing and notebly will have a direct benefit for local residents through the neighborhood Preference Program which allows 40 percent the new units to go directly to local residents. This is a powerful statistic. On Sea Level Rise, we know the city is committed to protecting vulnerability communities from the impact of Sea Level Rise. The great thing about these developments is they will improve and adapt large slots of the waterfront to deal with future effects of Sea Level Rise and also collaborate with the city on long term measures that can help to bolster district wide protection over the long term. Transportation, this is a critical component for both existing and future residents of the southern bayfront. The good news is the city is already working to meet demand. The lest 3 slides will show the project investments coming on line as early at next year. In the following decades through 2030. Putting the whole picture together youtd can see the large amount of investment that will come on line in this district. How do these Development Projects fit in . Through collaboration with each other and negotiation with the city through our process our goal is channel the transportation together so they can have a larger impact on the transportation picture than otherwise possible. For example, we can improve local neighborhood streetscape connections by coordinating adjacent projects to make sure there more a hol istic look at the streetscape improvements. We will also try to channel that investment to enhance transit operations along this corridor. Moving to open space, as ken said the broader district will see over 520 new and renovated acres of open space through these projects the projects approved and coming down the line. The goal is coordinate projects investment in open space with existing and new communities. What this means is creating a waterfront that is publicly accessible. Much of the waterfront is formally industrial and not accessible to the public in any way let alone through recational activities. We also want to make sure open spaces are connected to one another physically when possibly and if not through a broad messaging strategy. Finally, woo want to maketia zee a unified approach to programming or coordinateed approach to programming so there is cohesion of the event. This has the potential to be district wide network of open space that will enhance the residents use and access to parks and rec facilities. I want to highlight a great example of the coordination which the commission is very familiar with. The work that is happening at india basin where rec and park is directly engaging neighborhood stakeholders and adjacent Property Owners through a conceptual design process to plan a coordinateed open space and new public park land for the area. This process is achieving all the goals we are trying to achieve district wide and really happy to have this be sort of the first out of the gate to really kind of coordinate and connect all of the various Property Owners and all the various open spaces that exist and will exist in this district. The other thing i want to highlight on open space is that there is a broader rec need assessment undertaken by rec and park and planning and this is part of plannings broader southeast framework 5 year plan. They are looking to inventory the current access to and adequacy of rec facilities and parks in the broader southeast. That will help the city understand the neighborhoods needs now and also inform the neighborhoods needs as the population grows especially through these projects. This will allow us to target specific recreational needs and maybe find solutions within the project developments if appropriate. This is also i mentioned being informed by the work that the port has done on the [inaudible] and that work is ongoing with participation from rec and park, so all the broader planning effort will be combined through our strategies here to make sure we are really addressing the appropriate recreational needs that exist in the district and will exist. On sustainability we want to achieve a high level of environmental sustainability. This is through the use of resource savings utility designs, new technology, our goal is to provide long term environmental benefits for the whole district. A lot of the projects are revitalizing former industrial land so by transforming into high performing sites we can have benefits to the broader community. The final two areas, the first is community facilities. This really touches on Public Safety services, the fire station, schools, the Planning Department is analyzing access to and adequacy of the servicess to better understand residents needs now and in the future and this will help us plan all this grouth that is happening so we can identify what the needs may be. Lastly, on economic and Work Force Development, each of these Development Projects will make commitment to Workforce Development in the construction and professional service field. That is working in Close Partnership with oewd city build program. Also, these projects will contribute diverse new Employment Opportunity in the office sector, pdr, retail and others and so this will have a large impact on the economy of the city and directly for these neighborhoods. With that, ill turn it over to my colleague, mike martin. Thank you. Good morning commissioners, mike martin here to wrap up the presentation with talk about the tactics and try to get less wonky than i like to get and talk timeline and what drove to put together the effort. The current slide talks about how to enter the negotiations because as mr. Rich and [inaudible] talked about this is a negotiation strategy so it is a individual conversation with each of these developments. I think rather than just saying we more more more we want to growcreate values using tools we exploreed in recent large scale projects and use things we have seen in Development Agreements such as targeting of impact fees, the Transportation Sustainability fee and job housing linkage 2350e to taylor that conversation so each development can see the value we are providing in the zoning approval and other things they need for the density and also the other Funding Sources for the Public Benefits that we just ran through. Ultimately i think what we like to create is a suite of things each project is doing that plug synchronize to the larger strategy we are talking about today and increases what is otherwise available. Two of the tools are mell ruse special tax and infrastructure financing district. Both are flexible to you tool thaz can be used to pay for a number of things including Public Infrastructure and parks and transportation and housing affordability. What we would like to do is talk to each developer if there are things we can pay for with these tools but they put back into the project to do more of what we are looking for along the waterfront. The exciting thing about mellow ruse tax and tax increment as the tools are used to fund out the initial buildout of infrastructure and once that is paid off the tools can be available to do future shore line adaptationment what we hear all the time is why are you building along the waterfront when seeing level is rising. The development will protect themselves because that is how they sell to the people that live z work there, but if they can throw out money to adapt the neighbors areas to create the network we need to hold back rising sea level the question becomesstand on the head and that is why we are developing there to protect from Sea Level Rise. Again, we wanted to come back to the the compelling stats and show how this will combine to create a new face hof city on this southeastern geography to make that work for the new people and the neighborhoods nearby. This is a very concepual time line but what drove us to be with you. Over the last year we looked up and saw over the 27, 202017, 2016 develops, this will come to the commission and boferd supervises for aprovel and saw each of these will be a huge conversation on the own but if it doesnt relate to what the southern bayfront will become we will luce a opportunity. This feels like the work year working through the negotiation and next year is a transition from that work to communicating what it means to the future of the city. These are the City Departments including this department and think it is exciting way to get ahead of what is often a hectic period toward end of aprovel. Can take a thoughtful approach and developers appreciate that too because they can have a rational discussion. That closes our presentation. Thank you for your time and here to answer questions. Thank you very much. Lets do Public Comment and have commission comments anyone who would like to make Public Comment on this item . Public comment is closed. Commissioner low. The 520 acres, about how many fall within this departments jurisdiction . Maybe i can take a stab where we are. This includes india basin open space of which nicole you may have the number and the two parcels are [inaudible] under our jurisdiction. The other parcels part of indsia basin north to south belong to the port. India basin open space is ours and the big piece of open space that belongs to india basin and forthest to the south is North Side Park which is part of the candle stick ship yard projethlunar is doing. In the jurisdiction of ocii. There is a lot of open space in the area that is under the jurisdiction of ocii and are mainoewd facilitate the conversations and need to think long term management. Of the 520 acres how much is coming to the department and how do we anticipate Additional Resources we will need to for capital programming . I would say that is one the Important Reasons the front end planning and put up a slide that talked about the different recreational aminities to look at need. Moewd is thinking creatively about financing devices. [inaudible] provide a Funding Source for maintenance and programming. There is a question as to who will do it. The city is working through life after redevelopment. During the redwiment Development Area open space was created by redevelopment and when the redevelopment zone sun seted the property reverts to the [inaudible] over time, we have seen a little more fragmentation of Redevelopment Properties that have not reverted to the rec and Park Department. We development no longer is and have office of Community Investment and infrastruture and we have a collaborative relationship with oci i. This is coming up in mission bay. It is conversation we need at Treasure Island and conversation we will have in Transit District about as the open spaces are created what is management and program plan. I think we need to beope toon Creative Partnerships and at the same time i dont believe it is best interest to have 17 Parks Departments long term. I think we ought to have primarily one and particularly in the program side where we get fl to business having multiple agencies. So, i think it is the short answer to my long discussion is still to be determined. Commissioner mcdonnell two quick questions. One in terms of the growth projections around new houses, do we know the number of children . I dont think we do exactly. We are talking about 20,000 new households and should plan for and assume a good number of children. One thing that may have been glossed over is that not only are we looking at onewe are going negotiate half 1 3 of all these be affordable but the recently passed neighborhood preference legislation 30 percent of the 1 3 is prioritize for residents of 94110. Mostly bayview Hunters Point and dogpatch. A lot will be for the existing communities so thati think given that we would be seeing a good number of children as well. Related to that and looking at the list of City Departments at what point do you envision engaging on the City Department side and not city but a city partner and player of the district . I didnt heardcyf is a good [no audio] the approach more than what it results come out of it, which is given that this att to candlestick as the memo suggests, a number of different and growing and evolving dynamic neighborhoods, how are you approaching getting [closed session] in your discussion. Move to broadcast on all media channels. I oppose that motion and move we do not disicosis. Close. All in favor . Can you also make a motion on reporting actions .
