Vice president ran . Here. Everyone is present. Thank you, lets go to the next item please. Item three the approval of the minutes of september 16, 2016. Do we have emotion . Yes. Then Public Comment please . All in favor. Motion passes. Next item. We have a general Public Comment. We have several comment comments here. Lets first start with peter please. Thank you. Good afternoon. I have a big concern about the plan on what came out on the sunday paper. I think you should be concerned too. One of the quotes is our initial economics study or analysis the first consideration forecast 51 rationing to 188 jobs in the bay area. Lost. They also show around 37 billion sales and transactions. I was told, that that come from testimony from the funding. Couple of things he said, job losses with 20 rationing would be around 6500. Sales lost with 20 21 billion. He also produce a document of water shortages in our System Service in area. Heres the report of march 2014. We found it incredibly flawed. For example, we already given your comments. This study says that all Regional Water is affected by this plan. 15 local is working to the figure thats not true. It appears to confuse the 2010 water use, which is available in the supply. Were using about 20 tds and they said thats a normal year because of the recession and climate. So they said it was around 237. Instead of working off the supply, from 265, they use it 237 figure. It also doesnt show the difference between the water supply and streamflow. In the 50 year drought last fiscal year, we used 180 mg per day. We had one yet what your, normal year and its up to 80 capacity. We have enough water to last four years. A couple of things that were said in that study, the waffle loss by shortage scenario for 20 would be 240 million, so, using the 265180 last year, were 32 below the supply. Using 237, with the use were 24 below that number. We didnt see any of those impacts either. Or the sales lost for 20 , 2. 03 billion. We can see that. The economy is strong or whatever. Job loss, 20 . 7500. 30 . So, i think that the editorial was a pleading and they were dishonest. You have to ask staff, they willing to stand that analysis of ar we can bring it to the court opinions. There are, we need to correct that. A lot of people that article is about credibility. Thank you. Thank you. Lets go with bill martin please. Thank you. I too would like to. Would you like to get closer to the microphone please. Yes, i am member of the sierra water club. My comments are, i do not agree that the commission should be opposing this proposal. The point is simple. This is the bay, dr. Environment. San francisco bay. Its named after the city. We have a responsibility, as stewards, to maintain the state. To oppose this proposal is simply hayes and. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citations.

What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citatioo. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citationsd. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citations, they documented something called the client. What that simply means is that there is less, and less animals, fish, birds. Throughout the entire system. There are multiple reasons for that, for the decline but one of them, according to the science, is not enough water. I think, when you look at the science, thats why the control board has come up with this proposal. I urge the commission to look, director attention to the signs and make sure that they dont see any holes in it. It appears that they have not. One other point i would like to make, San Francisco has been a leader in environmental protection. Starting with the folks that started the lets say debate in the 60s. The ability to legislate in the congress, to save parts of the bay area for our present and future. We have many very strong environmental people in office today. It around the country and also around the globe. Finally, just put some numbers on this, 77 of voters in San Francisco measured for major. Those folks voted to tax themselves to help protect the bay. Im sure that they would approach this proposal. Thank you. Lets go with mr. Albert please. That afternoon. Im cochair of the Water Committee for the San Francisco bay chapter of the sierra club. I would like to direct your attention to a letter that we sent to members of the Commission Last friday, where we addressed this proposal from the state water board to probe projected targets for the major area. I wont waste your time by reiterating the points made in that letter, but i would like to talk a little bit about the tone of the debate. We would really like not to have an adversarial relationship with you folks on this, we would much rather, yes, this is it presents a lot of challenges in our own ways in our own strength, we can Work Together to achieve these goals. There are very irritation and other water agencies in the san joaquin valley, better saying very loudly to the boards proposed flow objectives, no, we cannot do this. We will not do this, and we recognize that the wood has some real challenges to meet those objectives. And we recognize that San Francisco has some real challenges, to meet those objectives. But what i would like to urge you folks is, dont just say no. Dont say, but say how. Say yes. We all recognize that as a state, we need to restore our rivers we need to restore the delta and we need to restore San Francisco bay. Its a big challenge for us, but we will work on doing this. Again, i urge you to respond in a positive way. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any other Public Comments .

The other thing is, each of the members of the commission have their own particular interest and knowledge of the current law whatever seats with the responsibilities to fulfill. We have a judys own passions. Our passions are very clear. You keep challenging us to test the limits of the envelope to make sure that were doing the right thing, not only as a water provider but a steward of the environment. One of the things that is most vocal is your efficacy for aggregation. While, we would wish that could happen sooner than it did, it happened on your shift.

Thank you michael, good afternoon commissioners. I have a Powerpoint Presentation here. Thank you. My name is renee, and i am excited and honored to be back with you here today along with dj, who is a new executive director of softly. He was appointed in may and the ground running to truly honor the litigation that built the societies. Today, im just a little time covering the background in a recent efforts, to catch up to speed. And that will be some review for some audience members that were here. But then again, i will turn it over to dj and he will walk the results of the outreach and engagement in the Community Recommendations that we heard. Southeast and green houses were built to address the adverse environmental and social impact of the expansion of the southeast Water Pollution plant in the 1970s. The vision was to provide educational opportunities, job training opportunities, Childcare Services for the community and for the both facilities to serve as assets so people would be proud to attend and give lifechanging outcomes. In 1987, they leased out the southeast to the college and it became the Master Tenant and assumed responsibilities. The greenhouse release too small for profit business received extremely low rent, and exchange for full responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance. The Southeast Commission was also created in 1987, to provide guidance and feedback of both facilities. I would like to recognize commissioner king was with us today, thank you so much for being here. Your leadership has been instrumental. Thank you. Over the years, since 1987 on program has low and the city college subleasing out space. Meanwhile, the greenhouse tenant also sublease space. In 1996, both facilities were transferred to the wastewater transfer to the agency. Our agency became responsible for both facilities. Many leaders were responding this of this agreement. We have been blessed and honored to get to know these visionary leaders over the past several years. I personally havent plus an honor. I would like to recognize ms. Shirley jones cannot be here with us but she has been involved in the process the last eight months. And of course, dr. Jackson, his father glenn soccer has also been involved with us. Thank you for being today. Thank you for all our Community Partners have helped us run this outreach effort. With our partners, we could not be today. For anybody interested in the full legal and time history you can go to our website. Today, good to more recent efforts. 2011, was her some Community Concerns about the lack of utilization in this facility, we did an initial assessment we talked to over 100 stakeholders and we heard was pretty clear. The building was being underutilized and needed renovations. In the entrance created security issues. The elevators were done often in the common k. In response, the decision was made to renovate the two phases. The first phase was to do a smaller and the second phase renovate the entire building. During that same time, we had letters of intent city college that they would provide program at the center phone any improvement or changes to the web. In 2014, phase 1 was completed. However, we learned throughout the phase that significant structural challenges could not be fixed rather nations. Started phase 2, even with this investment, the major challenges in the building cannot be addressed. Thinking that we wanted to ensure the continuation of the litigation, we should exploring brandnew building. However, knowing that the site can strike of 1800 oakdale, that would still limit us in parking was thinking outside the box. Around that same time in 2015, her agency was ready to look at the other side. Besides, is on the corner of third and events. It has 5 acres. See the site as a possibly location, halted for the staff there. And then we started investigating the building what it a new city. We had additional conversations with the city college unified School District, to see there was interest in possibly building an adjoining educational campus next to the Community Center. To have a true face pipeline into another enhance academic campus. There was initial interest. 2015, we also did feedback on the two options that we heard from over 200 people that there was excitement, but people wanted longer more Robust Community driven process to discuss the options before getting behind either one. Before heading to dj, i want to walk into the green houses. So youre worried exactly, we got, how we got to work today. Just like our efforts of the committee center, with the greenhouses, the idea to return them to the original vision began in 2011 when all tenants were notified that there would be a Community Driven process. In 2013, we worked with tenants to track their impact on the community. We put out a request for interest letters organizations across the bay area about what innovate the greenhouse. And, what it would look like. Received nine interest leaders from different organizations in the bay area. They all had ideas for how to use this greenhouses Workforce Development. Before about urban program, growing food a lot of new innovative proposals. At the time, to do these proposals, the greenhouses like the southeast facility, would have to be upgraded rebuilt. 2015, we learned that there was some structural issues to be addressed. Realizing the concerns of the greenhouses and realizing would have to rebuild the greenhouses, the decision was made to vacate at the end of 2016. We have been working with each group and assistance with the relocation and also partners with workforce 11 case anyone will be impacted by this that will provide oneonone job placement services. Over the past nine months, we also integrated the question of what interim Community Best serve the community while the greenhouses are vacant. That is a lot of background for you but over the nine months weve been asking two questions. The process a bit, she renovate this six and center or should we build a brandnew Southeast Community . And what interim greenhouse plan will help the committee . No to turn it over to dj. Thank you. Thank you rene. And thank you commissioners and congratulations. Commissioner kane i saw a secon commissioner. Go giants. On the current executive director of the se. Committee ctr. And im proud to come before you today as a resident of bayview. I worked there for the past six years. To come forth and actually present the results. Of this very thorough strategy that we have embarked about the past nine months. I say that because, if you look at the talks about how stuck to the community. The way we should always be the community was going out, grassroots approach, we pool we put partnerships actually commute community to ensure that as we were going to this process we thought was to everyone. In doing so, we were able to survey over thousand individual we not over 2400 doors going into Public Housing, to have this very engaged conversation. Also, we did with the greenhouse plan. We were able, we had over 20 committee meetings. Along with 16 committee partners, like the ymca community you center, and again, which is able to folks throughout the entire district and specifically more so in the area code with our efforts. Again, there are some of the partners and were able to work with. Most notably, the city college of San Francisco. The charter school, Hunters Point family. The children services, pick your plans. All current talents. We were in the community, began to have these conversations, we did is we had renderings for both sides. Of oakdale and what it looks like, what we might be able to with renovations. We looked at some things around changing the entrance by the, maybe some facial painting, we saw, as revealed to, once she went inside, we saw that walls were not movable. There was only so much that we can do. During those conversations we the initial renderings of what a new facility would look like. One of the things he made sure and i was there in those meetings, we showed the rendering we said that this is a possibility of what it look like. This is was gonna look like, but its a possibility we can look like. Completely green building, open spaces, new childcare center. In the conversation continued on, and on. It was thorough and i want to say thank you to the staff. We werent meeting sometimes till 9 oclock at night. Ensuring that were taking all the notes that we can pay for every community member. We saw, was 71 of the folks prefer to building, the one a Brandnew Community center and they wanted, to be vibrant. That was a conversation, when we were doing the survey not just a 71 , we would look deeper. We began to ask what is the quality of a new facility . What does it mean to you . People talked about transit along the third street quarter. Again, talked about open spaces parks. The location and having you architecture. Able to build you, having places reusable. We had a lot of good conversation with the committee, but this really validated that 71 folks at the one a new facility. Similar to the conversation, we had the same conversation with folks around the greenhouse. That discussion, involved around three options. One was for a grant funded program. One for a local greenhouse and work they do with that. Was at conversations around smaller greenhouses and some of the existing in the area. As we do have some of the best weather here in San Francisco we have the largest population of community gardens. We talked about having smaller greenhouses inside the existing garden bayview. We talked about giving a prefabricated centralized greenhouse, somewhere else in San Francisco. It would not be in bayview which is built somewhere else. Through this conversation, most individuals, 63 they wanted a grant funded program. What this means, we can actually fund the existing organization and be able to help him expand the work that theyre doing. When i talked about it, some people are doing urban agriculture so this, for the program, will allow them to do more great work and expanded capacity. We had more conversation and things that like about this option folks. Some of the dollars would help stay in bayview. We talked about being able to integrate generations. Working with organizations and having our elders work with some of our young people around some of the family. There was so many ideas that have come out. And then, when you go back something that was extremely exciting. The demographics. The folks that we were targeted, were going out into the community and meeting folks for the work. A third of those individuals that we talk to, or actual read between the ages of 2035. Another third were between 3550. Note the third was 50 . We ensured that we had a broadscale. To ensure, that we had proper feedback. We also did the same thing in terms of looking at, racist. And making sure that we were focusing on the area code and those closest to the facilities. Also cited 30 evans. So with this, you can only imagine all the people we talk to we got some really good input from Committee Members. The talked about the preference for commercial and mixeduse which we can do at third, and evidence. They wanted to ensure that the historical significance of the building remained. They talked about making sure that the mural is on there, remained and continues. We talked abouts ability oakdale and they wanted to talk and talk about, the partnership between the commission and the Southeast Community commission. I think we should do that. They talked about the place of destination. Bringing pride to the community and the talked about it being innovative and include cultural hub. Just elaborate a little bit further, and the student to the conversation around face to just more effective programming. The reason we went back and looked at the current utilization was because it was underutilized. More recreational activities, active and leisure. Talked about flexible spaces of a talked about it being welcoming. One of the conversations we heard was the one it be able to be inside, see outside. See that. To the positives things are going on inside the community. With that, i consider. Talk about all the great things that weve done and continue to do, but we have a little bit for you that we would like to share that actually shows a work via video and also get to hear from some of the community members. [inaudible] them my mother would applaud them. She always wanted economic growth. I am also glad, that the new building would be high to the history. Let me see that again, that the new building would be tied with the history of the south like the committee college. Then i went to the meeting, and i was very very pleased. Van i hope that this time, they would have everything and help us. I hope that this time, they would have everything and help us. I hope that this time, they would have everything and help us. I hope that this time, they would have everything and help ui hope that this time, they would have everything and help us. Them i dont know what else he can say after that. I think you also get to see, thank you to everybody and also our general manager kelly. He did that masterfully. Can you please get the powerpoint predominate. Them can we please get the powerpoint. Thank you i think the video kind of articulates the community and where they are. And all happy the process itself was. I wanted to ensure, but i get the commissioners. We have over 65 letters from organizations, and a lot of stakeholders in bayview actually support weve been able to do. This is just the beginning. Just to summarize a conversation today, the Committee Said that they wanted you center. They would like to move forward with a interred greenhouse grant program. And ensure that we maintain a transparent stakeholder in process. Which we been able to do. And continue to do going forward. What im asking today, for you while actually provide staff with that back in to say, the committee a spoken word in a move forward. And so, next steps, on your presenting we would hope to do throughout the month of november and december his partner extremely closely with the south community and my commission to implement the recommendations. We will develop a plan for phase two of outreach around the sign at third and evidence. And we will convene an Educational Partners to develop concept for the building. Like the San Franciscos state. And then, we will finalize the schedule for design, along with the environmental process and then look at finalizing the schedule to issue an rfp for the plan. Then, develop ongoing stakeholder processes in collaboration with the commission and working closely with the community. With that, i would like to thank you for your time, and for your patience. I am now free for questions. Them thank you. Thank you for the presentation, and i want, very excited i feel like its something that is way overdue. I have always appreciated our vision of a destination point, in the community that could be a source of pride, not just for the community, but a model for the rest of the world to look at. Not a sore spot. And so, im very much like in the direction where its headed. I would also urge from my environmental seed, that we it up as much as possible from an energy perspective, green roof possibility and open open space. I like the way the community was in agreement. I would just urge, you to really push the envelope to go back to committee to see what can happen. To really be a green steward in the community and a symbol of pride that the community can be part of. Thank you for your work. I would like to also comment. I think the center is terrific. I think, we want to follow through on what we agreed upon. Especially with the committee has asked for, to build and i think theres an opportunity in a place for everything. Living on an urban environment and the foot what it means to be sustainable. But, this is a place where we can achieve our listings. Let us know of your support and moving forward, i would be great to Work Together to see how staff and the commissioner supports this opportunity with the strategic plan. And how we move forward toget r together, and the metric of success. And what are your goals as assistant director to achieve this fiveyear, tenure vision. Hopefully, i may become a giants fan.

Jackson and shirley jones, and the others like to transfer down also to be on the new campus. Because, we dont want to leave anything out when people, people have done in our community.

We get the Young Brothers and sisters involved in our culture to make changes. Im here today to speak on behalf of Hunters Point. We are in support of this process, we would love for you guys move forward. In addition, we like to share our our outreach records. We would pass out flyers, talking folks, just asking a lot questions regarding this process. And how we can better the community. We did today to validate, the things that jay said with a 500 surveys that were done. We brought you this to show you guys. In addition to that, the thousands of literature that we put out day today, these are the folks that actually help provide the service. Were here to let you know, we are engaged. And we would like to stay engaged. This new facility will be right down from our house. A block, across the street. And thats really amazing for me. Thank you for having us today. Good afternoon commissioners. Again, she is kind of nervous, she wanted to talk but i was next. Thank you for having us. Im very happy, first i would say a prayer for our own manager who is not here. He works so hard to get this completed for the community, he also allowed me to come in and take part of this. And make sure that all is well. So, i wanted to say that i am, agreeing the center. But we need to collect i was going through, i gave you guys [inaudible] i have the tape. Its very emotional because thats the thing that she wanted for the college. I know she would support the college, however, we need to have some evidence or facts about working to do before you pass it. Once you pass it, the community does not know what part of the educational is going to go to the new facility. I was told that, its going to be so many square feet for this person and this. But as that could be an education . 30 million from the south bay sector built over there, how much is a tradeoff due to the community would have to . That is what im worried about. The education. [inaudibl them in my portion, i do have a signed letter of intent with city college. So that they can have a chance to provide programming. In addition to that, there is also an initial conversation with the San Francisco state chancellor of the city college and the School District about going to step further and building a new additional Academic Building adjacent to the committee center. We have a letter of intent from the city college, we will honor that. And were excited. Unless we hear anything different from them, that will not change. As far as were concerned, its in writing and were going forward. The conversations with the people at San Francisco state and city college, those are the additional states right now. I would like to recognize the present is here today. Thank you for being here. We are very excited about the educational opportunities. Then i appreciate that and your participation. And the Ongoing Community as well. Thank you for that. Then ms. Jackson please. High my name is ms. Jackson. On here in honor of my mother. I was here as part of my sister glenn as well. I just you guys honor my mothers wishes and also, when my sister when asked us, not a speaker but i am going to city college the main campus on my spare time. You all have a blessed day i must go because im late. Thank you. Them we keep looking in the audience expect everyone here. Them good evening commissioners. On the executive director of the urban academy. Were nonprofit organization. San francisco is a worldclass city. A common team11 the city has served as a land of opportunity. With you Company Started all over San Francisco every year, its important that our people are equipped with the skills needed to come compete. We ensure the success of the youth. We know that many are exposed to negative issues and thats why we are part of helping. As a member of the community, i want to find a way to provide positive alternatives for youth as they navigate challenges that they are faced with daily. This right here, is an opportunity for community and, that committee deserves the best. For too long, our desires are always treated as an afterthought and after all the comments from the young participants at the ymca, and the presentation, i fully support the center. A new Community Center can offer this while integrating historical elements. But unlike an old building, the new center gives us a chance to create a space and address these challenges and also provide training assistance and educational opportunities. I would like to thank you for providing this. The future will be bright for our youth in our communities. Thank you. Thank you. Jackie flynn please. Good afternoon commissioners. I am jackie flynn. We were fortunate to be one of the many, provided outreach and engagement services. It took us the opportunity first, we targeted our Public Housing residents and also used. We did a series of meetings and focus groups and through another that i wear, i am also the director, we included the survey and also physically look at location. One of the hardest thing to accept about the current southeast building, which i do i do love, its his limitations. Over the last three decades. It is not the center for education that was once dreamed of. We all know its possible, because it built the starbucks and hundreds of people are there every day. When he that kind of energy in our Community Center. Today, we have a huge opportunity to establish a new center for education. This was promised over all these years. I hear about green industry jobs and careers. But we can curate that at this new building. I received my career in science. Im very few women of color that pursued a career path at the time. I know personally that theres a need for early access and opportunity especially in the south east, to inspire our youth. Go back jackie. Them over the last five years, there is a real science lab, many people believe in notes there and for years its been hard to convince our young people that it can be a career path for them. We can never have that opportunity in the current building. Im here in support of the new facility. Im sorry. Thank you for your testimony. Them good afternoon. Im here as the capacity of the board of directors of the Bayview Merchants Association that have the privilege and are supposed to come before us a few weeks back and make a presentation on the proposed project and the members of the board and the association along with others in attendance were very enthusiastic in regard to the support and the construction of a new facility at third and evidence. As i said, we look forward to working with staff as this project moves forward. Theres a concern on the part of the merchants to make sure that in the process of the project moving forward that, some of those unintended consequences that have occurred in the past. We specific very positive and strong influence, and only for the Business Community as a couple people mentioned, anchor to bring people, foot traffic to third street. Not only from the Bayview Community but all other communities. We are very excited about this. A couple of other things, mr. James mentioned the importance of history. I was a member about the Citizens Advisory Committee on the development and one of the most important initiatives that committee was a revitalization of third street, this is a Long Time Coming to bring this project forward. Also pictured to supervisor maxwell. During her term to build a Police Station on the site and she fought hard to keep that from happening because she thought the committee deserves something better. This project is that something better. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations to the new president. I never saw a smoother translation from one office to another. I would like to just say as a chairperson for the Southeast Committee facility, i was moved because i spent five years working in San Francisco Juvenile Hall and another 12 years with the San Francisco Housing Authority and community. I was one of there, persons that thought leadership skills. I was happy to see them here today, so young man from west point where i grew up as a girl. And i was moved that so many good things are happening in our people are doing it. After getting up and getting out. I like what kelly said about our well the worldclass facility and also the model for the world to see. I think its important that we do nor history, i remember was restaurant was one of the lead persons which you can force c l cool. She had a powerful voice and she said, i can yell and scream but you wont be able to do that. You have to get your back straight and be able to stand up and tell the truth. I am grateful for that, im grateful for the new director dj and all the persons that were part of it. We have become a team and we are working together. Do we have differences . Yes. But we Work Together, because he wanted be part of the worldclass facility. Thank you. Thank you the next is doro y dorothy. Novak Novak Novak Novak them most of you probably dont know me. But if you do. I am, im blessed day to be here today. But if you do. I am, im blessed day to be here today. I worked for the city college of San Francisco for 24 years and i am retired. I have cleaned every building in San Francisco committee college including that one at 1800. Everything. Often in, neighborhoods, i pass out flyers. We had basketball games, you name it. I just want to say to you all, im not really what they say. That word. I will tell you this, being in that neighborhood it hadnt been for 1800 i probably wouldnt be in the custodian because mr. Escalante, is not here with us, thats where i got all my training. In that building. Hot wax hours, and stripped the wax floors. Thats how made my living my three children by myself. I am grateful to have been in the bayview area two. To love and be an organizer. We have walked all the neighborhoods knocked all those doors. I am a freedom writer i have a lot going on. I hope, that you know, all of you consider doing, making sure that they have the best. Im 66 years old and i want to be sick and stuff. I want to have, you know good vegetables and a good surrounding. I want to learn how to swim. My cousin, who passed away not long ago, she was instrumental to the pool put in. Her name was sallie mae allen. I want to see things happen. All right, thank you so much. Good afternoon commissioners. I stand before you as a residence. First, i would like to congratulate the new president of this commission. In the new Vice President as well. Secondly, i would like to talk about my experience within the community. My day to day living and interaction. People that dont come out to these meetings, to visit china make a living. There may be retired which is very tired to get out and get up the stairs. They are very excited about the prospects of a new facility on third and evidence. When understanding what all the issues are and understanding whats going on at 1800 oakdale, this is finally an opportunity to look at programming will be going into the facility to allow residents to get trained, to get services. To finally compete. The other issue that were looking at, the building was not adequately able to hold we needed in terms of the amount of classes and parking. Anyone that lives in the community, that owns a house, i can tell you theres three people know that would be very happy to be facility. The parking has been atrocious. For our seniors, or really the beneficiaries ru of this measure, they are excited at the possibility of updating. You would be surprised how many seniors are actually very excited. As we move forward, we must move developmentally. We must ensure that as we provide services fulfill this obligation for mitigation. But that mitigation is found, and that there are solid outcomes at the end of the day. So people that are not here, im speaking on behalf of those folks that do not normally participate. But they want to know that theyre very excited about the move. From my own personal position, i would like to say that im excited, encourage and also listening to the residence. But what it has anything to do like we did this process, when i can have any problems. Because our efforts have been on president. We have worked with the residents and i encourage you to make sure that it continues. Thank you very much. Is all is because we have . Any other comment . Libya staff for verification. Where we are for the next steps . This is not an action item theres nothing we can do officially. On the other hand, my sense of the commission will like you to proceed. There is also expressed desire for some type of document, to finalize and for the people can take and focus on. Where are we .

Yes thats what the presentation was about. So, exactly . The recommendation from staff is to go with the recommendation from the community which is to build new, we have your support. In the process would begin in january, planning and design. As for the educational piece, its important that we have a letter from city college. Those particular interest were seen with regards to whether we renovated or not. In addition, weve been in conversation with the city college of San Francisco and unified School District with the director and the superintendent at the School District, and what to do between now and december is to huddle amongst the Educational Partners including San Francisco state to see if in addition, is there an opportunity to build something more robust around the educational piece. Thats a really to do, figure that out between now and the year and calendar. Is there any need, or official from the commission i asked her to bring it back. My sense of the staff that it recommends that is that everything is supporting it. So, if you need something official bring it back if you dont need it official, go their blessings. Bantering on your budget process youll give us a blessing. And with almost comments support for this project, i would go further. Sometimes, if you get frustrated because it can be hard to build something the city. But whatever we can do to help, please do. We need to move quickly to get this new building built. Okay.
