Good afternoon girgsz nicole with the Capital Distribution with the rec and park im pleased to talk about the more born project i will give you a brief history of that very old and slack last year building from then to now the building was built and turn of the last servant by the reed brothers it is a city landmark designated in 1985 the building was occupied from 44 to 89 it was damaged if the loma prieta muni decided to demolish the building and people came together to ask for demolish and came to willie brown in 2004 the rec and Park Department decided to take the building over from muni realizing a real needs for the programming in district 11 also in 2004 the department partnered with muni and it will not fall down in an earthquake between 2007 and 2013 the city provided the friends with funds inform capitals Campaign Work and provided the ladder they did successfully and a lot of this funding came if commissioner avalos office so thank you commissioner dooley and the Friends Group is a terrific champion with the funding also actually at this time weve received pro bono from the design the conceptual design for the building as well as Legal Services from gibson dunn and a variety of pro bono partners that was included in the 2009 balboa station creating a human being around the station brings economic and Community Activities to that area where there is not a central gather point lets see so Going Forward the master plan for the building is to add a level to create cafe space and retail space are litter and Design Studios to roommate a power hours a 35 feet ceiling with Natural Light and where we will cool industrial features giving a great vibe the secretary of interior will be applied with a Gold Building a leaf platinum last year the Commission Approved an lda with a future lease and mou with the mta that allows for our short time and long term access to the building during construction Going Forward and you approved the Schematic Design based on Design Development documentation it is recently completed the costs estimate is 29 million that is proven to be a heavy left for the friends in the city and we decided at this point well, it had a wall at this point we were having trouble getting transaction with funders that couldnt see how to get to the end goal with a 29 million price tag the Mayors Office asked us to participate in a study with a wallace grew up from the netherlands to figure out how to use it with an Economic Activity with the building on the other two buildings the old mint and subway station we adding with a twophase approach with the power house, and, secondly, the Office Building we actually talked about to the design team and their approach was indeed possible and together the department with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development and commissioner avalos office felt the approach was the strongest way to cultivate the building and provide a Community Asset by funderers theyll see it thriving and creating the energy if needs it right there. So Going Forward this project will be a coalition between our 3 departments city will oversee the Development Part of excuse me. The office of Economic Workforce Development neighborhood Asset Activation Program that will require the termination of the lda with the friends rather than wait for the schedule reaching the deadlines suggested they have to raise the funds by the ends of 2017 we agreed if the best interests of the project to terminate the agreement to move forward with the power house separate the friends will continue to participate in the development of programming in the power house power house design is essential scaled down version of the power house stop sign it is in the masters plan but all the improvements at this time will be used in the master plan not Building Mission bay anything and tearing it down which is terrific and stabilization and landscape improvements and restored windows and mechanic and Electrical Systems and floors with heating a carter area and office with events in and our organization schizophrenia use it the Planning Department determined this power house will have no event effect on the ceqa fbdz and the mart plan ceqa in 2013 and that plan will not change that. This is just a rendering of the outside of the building this is a render what the inside of the building will look like to complete the power house project we need a different set of construction documentation although some of the work can be used for the master and also so the additional cd which will require an additional 300,000 plus is fully funded by Mayors Office 3 hundred through the neighborhood Activation Program and hundred and 75 through rec and park that will cover the regulatory fees and adjustments that need to be made because of the shortfall well need to adjust the funds we were planning on getting to preliminary cds in the master plan to get us to hundred percent documents weve finished it but needed need to go through the industry process also to add the funds to the contract well need to add that under this the construction budget for the project is 1. 8 million weve identified real source of fuentes that need to be approved t we look forward to bringing those of 3. 5 millions that leaves a gap of 3 million i would like to point out this is achieveable this 3 million to find the funds i think that will get us to a building to raise the rest of the funds the good news we have prospective source of few minutes for the 3 million including the tax credits for the trust ill point out in a moment and the pd requests and general fund and private philanthropy there be renewed interests now were close to making it happen. Id like to spends the rest of the time addressing the questions of the operational models for the building this is important to know that the vision for the building remains unchanged it will have a youth and arts related focus with additional programming for all Community Members so it will remain a Community Focused building are luckily the department has an arsenal of tools well spends the next three or four models to figure out the best one the strategies the operated models the rec and park will manage that and will require funding and provide permits to Community Arts and organizations examples are harvey milk and dana is here to discuss it if you want to dig deeper this is the nonprofit we do if with a number of building to identify a Master Tenants and community assess will be assured there the Department Works are boys and girls club with the ymca as the occupant and sunset for the elderly and hayes valley that has more magic one thing i wanted to bring up the potential role for the cast this is the nonprofits model the american california loans fund a nonprofit constitution that provides resources in real estate and financial train to the nonprofits that serve low income contingency it is one of the leads advisors for the market Economic Strategy and also provides financial train and real estate training to nonprofit and the project Management Services they have a program which provides services for folks who are displaced or facing displacement and rates given out by a volatile economic market the grants are available through the city from the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development cast an organization that has been opportunity 16 million in funding right now through functions and private funders that purposes spaces for the nonprofits organizations while providing the groups the technical system to expand their capacity and manage their facilities and own the buildings and those two organizations have building and expressed interest in working with us to find the appropriate partner that is ready for the power house the following is a list of organizations in addition to a number of organizations in the pipeline those are organizations that have indicated to supervisor avalos office theyre interested in either the power house specifically or expanding their services in or into district 11 so there is a real needs out there briefly a construction schedule assuming we have the funding by next year will look like the following well get through cities were about to get through city design reviews for the power house by next month and look to secure funding by july 2016 we would create the cds and go through the city reviews it through now and february and september and hopefully Start Construction in october of 2016 this is aggressive but we believe that is an achieveable goal identification of the appropriate model and partner will it took place simultaneously so we have the right partner in place and if this partner brings funding to the table well identify them at this point well secure the funding to begin construction on schedule that concludes my presentation.

Good morning, commissioners uaw kin with the office of Economic Workforce Development i think with the mayor ed Lee Initiative were very excited to see the items move forward for the reasons if some many of the speakers youll hear horizontal from our Community Members that are here for this vision to revitalize and activate it city it is particular and necessary need to the activated area of the southern part of San Francisco we really want is to see this vacant, westbound activated we think due to the critical approach in partnership we have among the City Partners this is a way to do it in a responsible fashion to make sure we see kids and adults enjoying this space of a skip and jump away from the balboa park station. 3 months ago basically no plan this opportunity and approach helps us to get the space moving forward the community is very, very excited about and the approach were taking among the partners is something that is also been enabled by the virtual of the mayors Cultivation Program that will enable us to realize some go is important one this is activates and the automation approach will provide a great example across the city for underutilized Community Assets like the given carbarn were committed to working with the community and were committed and letting you know how we are making progress at the carbarn we know through the Activation Program we look forward to your support thank you for your time. Dan. Morning im dan weaver the board chair of the friends of geneva Office Building and power house using a formal name i want to say a few words of the importance of this building and project to the surrounding communities primarily the excelsior and the bmi that used to be messy every time we divide the districts but let me say recent information shows that 50 percent or more the residents of the surrounding communities the excelsior particularly are immigrants where ene english is not the first language that there is enough for most people to know this is a challenge for the children and youth as they group not knowing english i think so that thirty percent of the immigrants that live around the building in the excelsior which i have the data for are, in fact, legal immigrants a huge challenge as a number of people pointed out no place in the district or no proper place to have afterschool programs and thats the other part of the challenge not like when we have weve got a wealth of choices andness will distancing pointing out this this is the challenge we have in 1999 we said okay. We saved the building now what do we do it become clear the number of children and youth in district 11 was high the highest level in San Francisco of all the districts. So let me say 16 years later this is a better approach this is the way in which we can hopefully move forward and show private funders the city is serious about taking did leads with the resources and getting this done thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone else that wants to make Public Comment on this item. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner Vice President low. So i still trying to figure out what were being asked for so the first step is to determine the l e w a. Thats correct. Is if documented and we have a termination agreement drafted by the City Attorney that would be fine and actually has to go to the board of supervisors. Once the lda is termed the rec and Park Department steps in to take over the role of i guess this initial part of the phase one. Correct we have been actually taking over weve been the project manager on the design working with darling to date well continue in that role and are we at this time we dont have a deforgiven program with the actual users; right . There is ideas of barts groups and community organizations, youth walk through the process how that comes together. Commissioner this is an asset that belongs to the rec and Park Department. Uhhuh. There the l d b. A. Weve designated through the programming responsibility to the friends of the carbarn in a long term lease and provided that they met certain fund prairgz were going to change the model for the funding and take on a smaller piece of this building it is basically like any other sort of clubhouse although it is worse unhabitual but were drooeg going to try to fidget a strategy to renovate and program this feels a little bit like a deck eerie was going to be my own comments because i see here the project is incredibly important to a neighborhood with a number of partners and programming flexibility i think my sense given the need no district 11 the eater pact forward will be with a nonprofit participate whether there nc c l r f im sorry helping us identify a partner or any of that long list of communities groups that has expressed to supervisor avalos a needs for nonprofit space so i think in some respect this project has goggles simpler we are candid about the fact that are money to identify join that the programming piece is frankly not our biggest challenge that is a simple element well ends up with whether a Master Tenant lease occupied by 2 thousand square feet about 2 thousand square feet to do what they do. I get does d11 plus im trying to figure out the strategy to bring together all of those potential users so whats the strategy to brings together. I think again there are a couple of different strategies one would be to identify himself to work with lc cf and have them serve as the broker for a single multiple of arts that could use the desk or boo deckerer with the boys and girls club but the boys and girls club we have the ymca and others communitybased organizations and frankly rec and park does programming the third strategy simply to do what weve done to identify the communitybased relevant partners in the space to partner with us and lease the space and to program it when we do that we still work with that partner to make sure there is community assess for the parties and community meetings. So either of those 3 strategies what is the what is is it running concurrent. Yeah. A conversation and you know were still in conversation with the nc c l f and are pursuing the casts partner because interests pooshl with investment in this you know Capital Investment in if this space we have time to figure out and theres a lot of need and deferring groups that fit our programming vision over the times that will take to work through the process and identify other Financial Resources we need to commence construction i think well have the time to figure that out and work closely with supervisor avalos and the office of Economic Workforce Development. The Schematic Design were being asked to approve is only the phase one power house which was on the slide. Thaishg the master plan has been approved. The sole source and then the real approving 4 hundred and 75 thousands of additional architecture fees to department the construction documents that looks like base buildings. It is actually 3 hundred and 70 thousand arrest the Mayors Office gave up money that includes permits and regulatory. It is really what were being asked 375,000 for additional architecture fees to go from maybe the Architect Design elements documents to construction elements. Correct. Only for the base building. Only the base power house. So the work is being approved can be utilized but we have additional a Different Program or deft Communities Organization that wants to use the space that work can be reused in terms of were trying to avoid something done trice. To answer our question the space is not being designed for a specific partner the this is now going to be flexible open space that is can be programmed with a variety of partners it is basically a building hop a nice one. So were just taking this to a soft shell. Well, to be clear the construction documents we want to finish building yeah, he think were going to ends up with a space thats programable i dont know what you mean. It will be occupyable if a tenant couples as a Arts Organization or a dance group wants to add a reliefable floor they can come in and do improvements it will useable. Were not approving construction at this time correct this is only for that of the architecture contract. Correct. No construction contract. No. Okay. Commissioner bonilla. Yeah. I think commissioner Vice President lows questions are critical but i imagine that we will have ample time the communities and the commission will have ample time to really talk about all of users potential users of the cow barn and the what will be at the end of the day what will be the operational model i dont think were really here to discuss all to discuss the model specifically because i think there is a lot that goes into making a determination of which would be the most efficient way to operate that particular asset so the only thing i really wanted to comment on is that i live in district 11 and i drive to work everyday through that intersection to and from every day oftentimes i ask myself when are we going to move forward with that project. And i dont only ask myself that because there are many residents that know that i live in the district that i am asked which is something going to be done with that facility im really fwlalgdz by the fact we have a people we finally have come up with a vehicle that will enable us to move forward with doing something with that facility i really think that something has to be done demolishing it is not an option and the i think having lived in district 11, 25 years now and having been involved in the cuomo the communities of the mission ive forgotten the acronym but i actually did some of my first work in the city was to do block club organizing and we went to the housetohouse talking to neighbors how to bring in more resources into the Outer Mission over the years since i have been not only helping i mean been involved in that capacity and been a resident i think i can say without question we really do not have informational point in the excelsior whereby residents nonprofits, seniors, different organizations businesses could really coalesce and be engaged in really making the neighborhoods better so i can really i feel really strongly about moving forward with this project and when the time comes i would like to make the motion to support Going Forward. Thank you and i will add that if this project is approved this approach well hit the ground running to think about the programming partners and models and spend the next 12 months doing that. Commissioner mcdonnell. Thank you commissioner president buell. A couple of things and a comment im clear on the Design Elements basic building and making that habitable but the question for you and the general manager and i get there are a number of programming with that said, whats the funding formula for whatever lands in this space. Essentially if it is a nonprofit model the nonprofits will pay rents for the space offset by the rent accuracy for any potential improvements that the partner decides to want to do or need to side obviously subject to a lease negotiation but no different than the relationships we have many of our clubhouses with Community Partners those are clubhouses have not been revenue janitors there about broadening our reach and offering a program breath and capita in the way we dont have the resources interests another model if that go fails through rec and park could manage the space frankly, were more of a Program Partner and not driver in that space there is too Much Community needs and Community Programming in the district and i think that would be the most likely path forward. And latest appreciate this new phase approach a smaller lift but 3 million is not significant can you talk about the strategies for the fundraising. Show your there are Historic Preservation Commission Tax credits it was fattens and phase two were approved by the rec and park service this is one avenue that has been complicated were no longer signing a lease with the friends well have to pursue another oaths but you 20 percent and many soft pockets thats approximately 1. 2 million of a 6 million and many soft cut budgets interests cast that has received actually 16 million in funding theyve recently invested 5 millions in two buildings the luggage store was one that was to help stabilize to buy the building and stabilize theyre releasing. Why not put up the slides. Sure. No there we go. There would be general funds asked from the department and next years city budgets, theres the opportunities to pursue a number of city sources a funding from the general fund we do believe that an operator might bring tenant consortiums i feel a number of organizations that have capital finlands in their account to invest in a building such as ours weve received to foundation the goldsmith that committed funds and a a number of companies that indicated a willingness seeing more achieveable the 26 millions a big lift to the foundations and a pipeline of folks those companies will have been cultivating. Thats United States summary. I appreciate that one final followup if we have a sense it maybe hard it is the project programs of those prospects how much in the percentage or is necessary to get started. Weve identified the construction shortages is about 3 a little bit more than 3 so thats what we need. But you know we feel like weve gotten 3 and a half again, this is you know the this engineer that could this is the little building that could weve gotten from a vision from to big of a fundraising lifts to a project that gets necessary activation in the space and hopefully spark some point the large project we want to start small you know this is are still a reach but it is more researchable reach. Sure thank you. A quick comment echoing what commissioner bonilla said my youth grouping in the fillmore and right at the corner of fillmore and turf is a building that is unhabitual and its my teen years catching balboa park so it is exist to see this particular building this is light in the building thank you, thank you for getting us to this point. Commissioner Vice President low. I just times it is like i said, we have the money to pay for the architecture fees to help at least depict what is going to be built to the basement that at least makes a portion of the, however, hours habitual we know who the users are we dont know at this time we dont have the money to build it but since overwhelm in the Real Estate Industry im not a surprised i think so it is Good Real Estate and if we start the process this will came into together so i defer to commissioner bonilla to make the motion to approve this. So let me say before i ask commissioner bonilla to do that that ive twice toured this building and had interest in that i once went to a quasi meeting with the funders to see the presentation and i must say i agree with the general manager the undertaking was so big and required some vision i dont think there is a lack of support in the Philanthropic Community but a lack of getting their hands arm the size and scope of the project i do believe this first step in doing sometimes that demonstrates this potential will go a way it is not questionable the real estate is getting more extensive and providing space in this city for nonprofits it profitable ill encourage my colleagues to support that thank you sxoil. Id like to make the motion to approve staffs recommendation for the geneva carbarn improvement project. All in favor, say i. I. So moved. And thank you one and all.

My name is Chandler White ive been a residence of San Francisco since 197 of a my part time i felt the heat if the church being burnt there was a garden now looks like a big old tooth cavity i would love and support this completely mr. Beginnings berries staff said you can use that is that as a putting green 24 makes the cavity look worse but we need to bring up the foot traffic the weddings and the other functions weve received and it is just a wonderful location i fwresht our support for this i love this city i had a opportunities to retire if North Carolina i wouldnt leave San Francisco so i appreciate your consideration thank you. Thank you. Next speaker commissioners im dan the pastor at sfaupz Lutheran Church sfaupz has been serving San Francisco for almost one hundred 60 years 1867 across the street from Jefferson Park since the Iconic Church building burnt in 1995 in some ways the church has been a custodian from Jefferson Park im not sure when Jefferson Park was establishes or names but st. Paul has a corner on the place literally and figuratively we have cards for the park and been part of its activity for those hundred years in which the Church Building stood unfortunately, the Church Building burned our congregation moved into the School Next Door but conditioning concern for and care for the park has continued loss of the building was extraordinary proposition and ironic that even though it was a devastating loss it was a plus for the park because there was a rather significance shadow also that of eliminated and now we come back to the commission here and requesting that we be allowed in some a ways to return to the spot all be that with the residential unit as well but the cast the shadow to be cast was much less than the other building important issue for me is that this this or that this park across the street continue in its pristine way encouraged and supported and cultivated and st. Paul has delivered for those hundred years and want to make sure that it is cared for in a reasonable fashion thank you. Thank you. Next speaker and just as a reminders this is item is on the shadow impact is if i can make you are comments towards the shadow impact please next speaker. Good morning. Im tom im the residents manager at 1090 eddy street part times in the Northeast Corner of Jefferson Square park i come on here to talk about this is not supportive of a shadow impact it is less than one percent this about safety and from 1090 where we needed to go we gather the 62 signatures over 90 percent of our taunt 90 percent overwhelming that given that petition im going to sign it including the mailman we didnt agree on the exact reason it sign it we need you housing sprets others say that will the is horrible cavity but it is a lot to do with safety park your car at night and youll have a window broken in the morning we need the eyes and ears if or in that corner that shows as your picture all those wonderful windows the offer looking at the park that will absolutely help with the safety in that area it is less than one percent we have signatures but 90 percent of the tenants said theyll sign it on a few said they dont sign petitions i get it i wanted you guys to have a couple of pictures of that Northeast Corner there is nobody here as you can see there is a big lot of lands and no eyes and ears especially at night and the sacred heart again, a big l of none there at night and even during the day wear so glad the chineseamerican students are moving in during the day having the rich kids will help laughter just saying lastly id like to show you that chandler said that is a cavity the Fire Department came to the lot over the last weekend they were not there for a picnic i dont know with why there were there but someone called them this is a picture of the hole in the fence the church is good at fixing the holes in the fences back to the shadow it is about safety and lastly your own crews have actually said to me that 90 percent the needles the needles the sickens in Jefferson Park under the page trees diagonal to 1080 please execute them dont have a drug deny. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you very much im dustin the music master as st. Pauls and since were focusing on the shadow im going to be brief were excited to get back there and hopefully resume the Outdoor Services and begin to be part of that and were as the gentleman said earlier excited to bring the people back into the neighborhoods and face the foot traffic for the park and beyond that we are thankfully for your port if helping us moving this project forward and hopefully, the shadow what about improved. Thank you. Next speaker commissioners and ralph im the attorney for st. Pauls lutheran schuch thinksable will i im advocate i think that is important to understand this project is necessary to the continued services and the presence of st. Pauls in San Francisco in that naeshdz burning the building 20 years was destate of to the communities and destate of in the congregation and since then st. Pauls is moovg if temporary to temporary location during its by itself to continue the service in the communities and continue its presence in the exultance it is sxrooel important to our ability to go forward with stacey st. Pauls at that location we have the connective benefit of partnering with the developer who will provide the housing that means building in an envelope that is at the limitations of what the city of San Francisco will permit us which means its necessary to bump that this bit of shadow and once again in the area and not beyond what was there from the Church Steeple previously we need this the fulfill extents and gridlock thank you for your consideration.
