Exactly how much it will take up. The kind of births that will be in the new marina. So, i have a letter today from the sierra club formally objecting to the proposed marina expansion. I also have a letter today from the anchor out community which is extremely disturbed how thiz proposal will reduce for anchor outs in the cov. And i also have a letter from folks associated with the Treasure Island Sailor Center. The center signed off on this pro posal and that is upset the Sailing Community a great deal. They appreciate the spirit the center and making the sacrifice but dont think it makes sense so have a letter how the programs will be reduced and objecting by the sacrifice. Signed by the executive director tof center and u. S. Sailing association and numerous world chamian sailors. This is disastrous proposal because there is a bad process. The tenant are not inclueded in and outside the Sailor Center wasnt included rchlt a lot of letter are addressed to bcdc because the community is giving up on tida and beginning to discuss with bcdc. I hope your fingp print dopet end up on a train wreck but that is sth dweckz the developers are asking it go. It isnt within your interest and not within the interest of the users of clipper cov. Thank you. Thank you. Will you give the letters absolutely. Hi, my name is larry doyle and i live in San Francisco and own a 27 foot sail boat at Treasure Island 34u renea for the last 20 years. Im here on behalf of the Treasure Island tenant for balance expansion which is grewing group of birth owners at Treasure Island marina who have seen the marina Expansion Plan and very upset by what they see. Basically we have been told the last 10 years [inaudible] is coming, there will be upset but will have slip frz our boats and then just recently when the expansion came out the plan came out it was apparent that that wasnt the case at all. Not only do we have no rights to have places for our boats in the new marina, there is no room for our boats. There are a hundred slips in the marina, small to medium size boats between 25 and 30 foot boats, a standard size for the bay for families and people who enjoy recreational sailing, everyone is getting evicted. Dont know where the boats will go because there is a demd for that slipe because those are the people who enjoy the bayment we are up set about that. And also i just think that the whole plan ismarina as proposed is ridiculous. Muchtoo large and makes inefficient use of the space and will destroy clipper cove which is a jewel. There is a beach and great place for families to picnic and paddle board and kayak and learn to sail, all that will get chipeed out and what is put in the place with the current plan and most recent i have seen is basically a parking lot for superuates and that is inappropriate and not sure if that makes sense economically. Um, so i guess that is all i need to say. I is a letter that explains more but we are upset about getting evicted losing the space and inappropriateness of the current plan. I think they need to do reset and look at it with 2017 eyes 1996 eyes because things have changed radically. Thank you. Thank you. If the commissioners would like comments or questions for beck you can doo at this time. Mr. Dunlop. Sorry, i wasnt hear last month and dont know if this was on the agenda but talked about having it on the agenda again for public andso just wanted to see if that is happening. Curious about the evictions. The item was on the agenda at the january Board Meeting and working on master leases with both the center sailor and Treasure Island enterprise will bring those back hoar again. Um, the umin termoffs the eviction Treasure Island enterprises expressed its intention to move existing users to the new marina. Even a 27 foot boat can more in a space thats suitable for a larger boat. That can also accommodate a larger boat so if a space is being built for a 35 foot boat it can accommodate a 27 foot boat, so Treasure Island enterprises if i can speak on their behalf indicated it isnt their intention oo evict anybody from the marina. The sequence of construction is to build from the east side inwards towards the existing slips, so slip users would stay at their existing slips until the final slip were being constructed. Thanks. Seems like well have other hearings on this too. Yeah when are we expected to have the next meeting on this . We were looking at if we are able to conclude work on the lease to bring the lease at the manch Board Meeting. We could also if there is interest from the members have a update at the next Infrastructure Committee. Great. Thank you very much. Any other members of the public . Hearing none, next item, please. Item 3, report by Treasure Island director. Thank you directors. This past month is the big milestone for the project is the january 24 meeting of the board of supervisors. They voted to approve the Community Facilities district and infrastructure revitalization for Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. This concludes a two year effort to prepare the infrastructure financing plan and rate and method of apportionment for the cfd and bring these items forward to the board of supervisors. We will be filing with the City Attorneys Office a validation action within 30 days to validate the ifrd formation because the ifrd is a relatively new form of infrastructure financing district we want to take the step to have the court affirmatively endorse the formation process so that its not subject to future challenges. Um, the first bond ish uance are anticipated to be against had cfd but late 2017 or early 2018 and for every bond issuance under it district we will go back to the board of supervisors for approval. The tentative subdivision maps and for yerba buena and Treasure Island submitted middecember and under review now by city agencies. We are also working with city agencies on negotiating two agreements that will inform the final subdivision map review and the public Improvement Agreement that will accomany the final subdivision map. We hope to bring those agreements to the march Board Meeting. It includes a mou, a memorandum of understanding between sfpu c and tida on the construction of the new waste Water Treatment plan and liz hurshwill gichb a presentation later on that. Also include a interagency memorandum of agreement between tida, the Public Utilities commission, public works and the sfmta on ownership and maintenance responsibilities on financing responsibilities for infrastructure in the public right of way. We expect to have both of those at the next Board Meeting. On activities on the island wie had a few trees that have come down in recent storms, but the number is less than the number that came down on the significant storm january 10th just prior to the last meeting. We are also planning clean up day with the San Francisco department of environment for Yerba Buena Island and clipper cove beach for friday, march 3. On the bay bridge bike path, continues to be open on saturday and sunday but it may open 7 days a week at some point this summer. The ridership is highly variable with the weather, with few or no people coming across when it stormy and about 700 to a thousand on days when there is better weather. We continue working on to evaluate traffic calming and safety measure with sfmta and cta for hill crest and Treasure Island boulevard. On island events, Treasure Island Homeless Development initiative hosted a black History Month celebration last friday at the ship shape and the Treasure Island flea market had a good weather for its january flea market on the 28 and 29. As i mentioned we will continue working on leases with both Treasure Island enterprise and Sailing Center with the expectation bringing them to the board hopefully in march. On the construction side, we have up on the screen right nowkate, can you put up the powerpoint . This is building 180 right behind the administration building. Demolition began last week and been moving forward pretty rapidly. This is status as of yesterday and the building shouldthe structure should be fully down by the end of next week and move to the Treasure Island bar and grill and the former home of the Treasure Island yau ght club. If you look north from building 1, this is the rest the first subphase area, so this is the area from california up to 9th avenue where the star barracks the grocery door, casa dela vista. Begin geotechnical work in the middle of march. Also in march contractors will be mobilizing on ybi to beginning the site work for the roadway realignment and water tank construction. And then the final note for this mumth is that the new container facility is expected to open before the end of the month with limited menu of food prepared offsite including at bake works and with full operation in april. That conclude my report. Thank you. Mr. Beck, i just want to congratulate you and staff on the many months of work that you did for the Community Facilities district and this is very important because it is the way that we are financing all of the infrastructure that will go on in Treasure Island. The streets, the open space, all the geotechnical improvements and so it was a lot of work by staff to get through but glad that the board of supervisors agreed and that we are on our way in preparing for the bond measures that will be required to finance the Community Facility district. The other thing i wanted to ask is, the storm related damage, whether therewe had more wet weather these last few mungets in more than 5 years. Were there any indications of flooding or any other damage that we should know about . Um, actually we did have a roof on what is called building 111. It is a out building that was attached to hanger 3 where water accumulated on the roof structure had dry rot and a portion of the roof collapsed. The area was leased by someone who was using it as storage for antique business so vacated from the structure and working to demolish the building. Storm related but also just the condition of the structure as well itself was not in good shape. In firms of other damage, we had localized flooding with so many dry years some of the catch basins havent been maintained as well as they should so work wg pu c to get people out to clean the catch basins but that is localized, we havent had significant Property Damage related to the storms. Thank you very much. Drerkters any comments or questions . Yes i have questions. Mr. Beck, i also wanted to congratulate you for spearheading this effort and from my discussions with city staff members, they seem to respect you a lot, the bay you conduct youself and this is another milestone and sure other districts, other agencies and communities that are embacking will look at what we have done here to follow or use the same process. We also need to convey to the San Francisco board of supervisors our gratitude because seems like they get it when it comes to Treasure Island and due to the work we all do here, the staff and commissions that they seem to be understanding what the timeline is and importance of the development to the city and they are doing all they can to make sure that they are helping us so very grateful. Thank you to the staff. Your report, just two other questions. I saw in the correspondence this request for just a note of information from the [inaudible] technology. I read it seems to be extremely very interesting. Even sometimes though there is no commitment, it something that i think if you can find a way for us to be able to have a presentation to look at the [inaudible] what is that this new technology is all about and see if it is something that who knowsjust putting it out there. I would likewe can entertain this in the Infrastructure Committee presentation of that then we can ask questions because transportation not only on Treasure Island is something that will be key to the development of Treasure Island and throughout the city and county of San Francisco so if there are technologies out there i think that it is in our best interest to look and explore what these things are. Finally, i saw very interesting, the timeline for the Responsibility Foundation. They have here for their statute it looks like the statue of liberty and it is interesting. We have 300 acres of space and we are going have indoor and outdoor arts and at this point anything we can put in there that will attract millions and millions and according to this proposal here that this project, this foundation responsibility is looking at cities all over the world that they wanted to put this statue of responsibility and given San Francisco history and where we are here, again just entertaining ideas here that it is something that we should find out and see. Never know. Thats just my comments. Thank you. Mr. Dunlop. Just want to comment on the rain and storm. Im really impressed with the work that was done last couple of years to prevents excessive one outage. If this was two years ago i imagine it was be a daily basis but have done so much great work in advance and maintenance that it has not been a problem for me living on the islands or other people i talked to other than people sick of the gray skies but you cant do anything about that. If i could, i just wanted to mention you know, you mentioned the board of supervisors support and i would be remiss if i didnt acknowledge all the work supervisor kim did as a sponsor for the ifd and cfd legislation and her leadership and bobby lopez from the staff coordinating with the other members of the board. Um, on the [inaudible] item we did forward that information also to the mtc team that is looking at the west span bike path alternatives because this might be another way to address that as the proposal is this would be suspended from the bridge. And on the statue of responsibility, i did also want to report that we did have a Conference Call with one of the members of the team for that project, and the one thing i would highlight relative to the material in the package, it talks about a rfp schedule and that is not accurate. It talked about submitting a letter of interest by last friday, so they are on a indefinite timeline. Apparently they had been working on a location in san diego for several years that looks like it wont work so they are reevaluating what alternative homes they might have and intend to go through a rfp rfq process but on a uncertain timeline. We will persee it . Thank you. I think it is something we have to get the concurrence of the Arts Commission and the master plan that we are putting together for art. Yeah, and given its scale it will require additional environmental evaluation and would be quite a process for us to engage on that. Well seewe have certain questions about financing and where they are with that part of their proposal, so we expect to be receive more information from them and can give you future updates. Okay. Are there comments or questions from members of the public . If not next item, please. Communication from and received by tida. Communications from the Responsibility Foundation and terreplein technology and residential advisory, news letters and Media Publications among others. Mr. Dunlop do you have a question or comment . If i can, there was a news article which i think would be good to highlight again, is that the department of transportation did give the San Francisco 11 million for transportation related items of which a million will come to Treasure Island for the Autonomous Vehicle program so very excited that we received that grant and that the vehicles are i think are going to be deployed on Treasure Island experimentally. Do we have more information on that . Actually the entire 11 million will come to the island. The other 10 million is for the engineering and installation efforts related to congestion management program. We will be work wg the ta to go through a process. The application was put in but need to identify potential partners so there will be a rfp or rfq process or perhaps both to go through the process of identifying a qualified vendor that we can work with. Again, the thinking here is for the future on island shuttle, the transportation comes to the main two block around building 1 and hanger 2 and then transportation from there out to the residential neighborhoods is provided by a free online shuttle and piloting these Autonomous Vehicles as a potential source for running that on island shuttle program. Terrific. Any other questions . Hearing none next item. Iletm 5, ongoing business by board of directors. Any items the directors would like to bring up . Yes, please. At some point where we are with the housing, because we have a housing subcommittee and i know at some point we feed to paeb begin update on where we are, so if we can incorporate that, yes. For the infrastructure to have something in there so we are not forgetting where we are. Ill include that. I asked bob which is on todays agenda to give us sort of a preview of the year ahead so we know what topics will come before the board. Mr. Dunlop. This is a notice we received on the safe speeds sf campaign and i noticed that there wasnt anything about Treasure Island, so if that could be looked into because there is a lot of speeding that goes on and gosh, just last week a neighbors dog was run over, hit and run my somebody speeding and could have been a little child. That is something that could be looked into and addressed. Well reach out to sfmta for more information on the program. Thank you. Okay. Next item. Item 6, consent agenda. All matters listed constult consent ajaenda arequer considered retune by the authority and acted by a single vote. There is no separate discussion of the items unless a member so requests in which event the matter is removed and considered as a separate item. Item 6 a apruvlting the minutes of january 11, 2017 meeting. Authorizing the Treasure Island director to execute a 7th extension of Loan Agreement of the temporary loan of the miguel covarru bias mural. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. 7, 2017 the year ahead. Thank you chairman fei tsen and members of the board. So, just want to highlight a few items from last year brf leaping into where we are at and where we will go in the coming year. We of course look from director moss to the board this year. We made the first transfer of Development Parcels to ticd last feb and was successful securing bcdc approval for the entire development project. That excludes the sailingsenter and Treasure Island enterprise marina. Projects that will need their own approvals. We accepted our second Land Transfer in september as well and completed the demolition on ybi between february and august laest year and moved to Treasure Islands to begin demolition. The new westbound on and off ramps from the eastern span opened in october as did the caltrans bike path and we initiated the formation of the Public Financing districts. The Navy Property transfers, we expect three property transfers this coming year. The first two of those, the areas in purple and cream all of the work there is completed and the final reports are being issued now for dtsc review and concurance so should close on those in the next few months. By the end of this year, the field work in site 24, the former dry cleaning facility will be completed and that will transfer will occur in early 2018, so as we move forward beyond 2018 it will be the residential neighborhood site 12 and there waste Water Treatment plant remaining to be transferred. On the design side, ticd will secure permit approval for Infrastructure Improvement and as i discussed securing first tentative map approval and final subdivision map approvals and draft the public Improvement Agreement for all of the infrastructure that will be constructed and dedicated under those projects. And then they will also be moving into the construction document phase for the open space projects. Had a number of presentations on the conceptual design for the ferry plaza structure and restrooms and those projects as well as Hill Top Park will move into the construction document phase. The initial construction projects, as i mentioned , the demolition will be completed within the next 6 weeks on Treasure Island and around that same timeframe the First Development contracts will mobilize on ybi and geotechnical and cause way reconstruction work. The geotechnical work sp of the early work is utility relocation to relocate existing utilities outside of the area of geotechnical improvement but then that will move into had cosway reconstruction and consolidation of soils in the first subphase area. Also this year, the infrastructure right of way and utility infrastructure on Treasure Island will go out and project will mobilize in the second half of this year. This is ticd overall slide for the early projects contract jz will have joanneatonia come to the april Board Meeting to give a more detailed update. That will be a regular item for our on island Board Meetings to give up pup dates oen construction activities for the residents to hear and partake in. Um, on the planning side, we are mobilizing in the first two subphase areas on yerba buena and Treasure Island. Prepare the subphase application for the next area of work. So in the next application they intend to include all the area, the balance of major phase 1 in that application, so the image on the upper right here, the balance of the green zone will be included in the next application or if you look at the image on the left, what we are indicated as stage 2 and stage 3 areas as well as the small portion of the stage 6 that is between stage 2 and stage 3 in the job corp property, they include the infrastructure in the next application as well. Even though in the major phase plan, that is a stage 3 development area, but it doesnt make sense to leave that small sliver of soil unimproved and infrastructure not constructed until we come back in stage 3. There will be lot of activity with ti mma planning for continuing management and operating mou with ac transit and weta for bus Service Expected to start in 2019 with the first occupancies and then for the Ferry Services and ferry acquisition that will start later after development has reached a larger number of residents moved to the island. Um, the ta has also taken over the reconstruction of the south gate hill crest interchange from caltrans and they expect to mobilize that contract this summer so they will be constructed that south gate hill crest interchange at the same time ticd is prime uving mu culla road. Timma is designing the viaducts replacement and will advance that dephrine through the construction documents but dont plan to move that project into construction until the work on mu culla road is complete. Also working with sfmta to study and develop parking policy squz will bring updates on all these activities to the ic and board. There is a lotf discussion on clipper cove today. We expect to finalize long term leases with Treasure Island enterprises and Treasure Island Sailing Center. We did have a meeting with bcdc earlier this year with Treasure Island Treasure Island sailor and enterprises both present to discuss both projects but they will be moving forward with their applications to bcdc independently. As the land owner we are coapplicant when they file the applications. In terms of looking at our oevall schedule, i want to highlight some of the things we do every year. Of course april and negative we november we have the on in ilenBoard Meetings and march we will have a informational presentation on the fiscal year budget and bring back for approval in may. In june we typically authorize many of the annual reoccurring contracts with tida and navy master lease frz the island and october is when we have the adhoc nominating committee for officers of the coming year and with election of officers in december. We elected officers this year in january. That kind of gives us a look at what is coming up this year ahead, but happy to take any questions you have. Thank you so much mr. Beck. Last year was certainly a very action packed year for us at Treasure Island and lots of work was done in the major transfersfirst transfer of the land from the naichcky to navy to the sitd city and ticd was done and design for the first subphase application. It was really quite a fruitful and eventful year and it seems like 2017 is going to be another large year for us as we try to put Treasure Island into start the construction at Treasure Island. Um, thei like to just say that housing is not a part of the list of things that i see that are coming up. I know that it is something that we are working on, but as i look at the boards actions, i do think that we need to make sure that housing and what we are doing about both the affordable and the market rate housing that ticd is doing that there should be informational item presented to us. I think the sooner the better. Actually we can hear from ticd the developer as to what their plans are for the first phase as yerba buena and need a separate informational item just on the Affordable Housing piece. It has beenwe last talked about thisit has been several months, middle of last year and i think it is important for the board to be totally up to date as well as the public as well. I apologize and made a note to myself as i concluded my comments i fail today include a slide on the housing front. Mohcd infends to include in the next fiscal year budget to begin predevelopment work on the first two parcels so that will be the design and engineering and permitting process for those first two parcels. Those are not available for construction until late 2018 and so there will be a lag there before we can start the construction of those projects, but then the pacing of construction is really going to be driven by the accrual of tax increment capacity to bond. We can bring updates on all of that as we move forward. I think the next Board Meeting in manch, if it is possible to have a update particularly on the Affordable Housing piece. Im concerned because there are certainly things hapage at the federal level that has effect on us at the local level and just as a example, there is a change in the tax rate it may effect the taxthe tax credit financing many Affordable Housing projects get and lessening the amount which is a subsidy to those Affordable Housing projects, so i do want to make sure we got a eye on that and have a plan to get the first few projects started as quickly as possible. Yep. And then the other thing that i would like to discuss is just design and this is comments aimed at trkts icd as they put together their team and design for the subphase. I know the overall design is pretty much in our master plan, but certainly there are tweaks that can be done and will be done im sure by your design as your architect and Landscape Architects as you go forward. I just want us to have always the new eyes of basically now rather than the master plan was passed all most a decade ago. More than a decade ago. Design for development the design for development and the current Land Use Plan were adopted in 2011 but the original Development Agreement was 2006. So, it is all most a decade. One of the things is that we got such a opportunity here and it is great to have a partnership with ticd. I think that they brought good designers for the project at hand but mission bay is a example of a Master Plan Community that was developed in the 1990s and i got to say, i was involved in some of the technical aspects of that. It was a improvement ovwhat would have been in mission bay, but still there are things that we know now that we would do differently. The parcels of mission bay are praeblt too large, the streets are too wide to have the intimate feel and for this island i think we want the best of the thinking in 2017 you know, to be able to apply that Design Thinking as we create the new neighborhood that is going to be here. Im sure that the ticd team as you put together your Design Partners, Design Professionals if there is a way to tweak it that st. Good for development and yet you know, satisfy the publics needs for public aminities and public space in the best of ways, i would spur you on to do that. So, mrs. Richardson, do you have a comment . Thank you. Thank you bob looking at this list of events and milestones. It shows that we are actually exceeding. There are items here that nobody thought we were able to complete in 2016 but here we are. We did them. One item you left and you know i wasnt glowing to let you leave that, the lead platinum. That is a big deal. It is a major milestone. Hopefully this year we can really look at how we want to market that as part of the Ongoing Development and. Treasure Island Development is considered up there in the world among major major major World Development i think is very significant. I attest to the work that you do director and commissioners in partner with ticd and great architects and designers involved in the projects and not just something that should be a notation. In 2017 i think we should blow that up for other tooz know. I also in 2017 did not see the master plan for the arts and open space. That is 300 acres and at the laest meeting i remember there are decisions we have to make like the selection and panel and whatever and we arethis is our project, so that is a big deal in 2017 since [inaudible] huge. Lets put it so we can be transparent and know how to position that in the next thing that we will be doing. Housing is a big deal. That is why i ask that before and glad that you are going to be focusing on that. Any updates are helpful and alleviate any concerns we might have with the obligations we have here. I think we are on course and doing the best we can and 2017 is going to busy but we are up to it. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Dunlop. Yes, i totally agree with everything our chairperson said, but other than perhaps moving housing discussion for the on island meeting, if that could be put off or twice with more information. I know there are many many people who live on the island who are interested in when the housing will be built and when they can move permanently hopefully to a final home. Thats my two cents. Yes, i think yes that we could have a update in march and also youre absolute right the on island meeting in april is a time when we can have a report. Are there members of the public who would like to address the board . Good afternoon commissioners. Sherri williams from Treasure Island Homeless Development and your director is humble. There is a lot of accomplishment in 2016 and ill be self servicing and say one was also that we implemented the jobs program for construction. It was the firstthe project broke ground in march 2016 and what we envision the jobs program to look like, getting people who had no access to good paying living wage union wage joberize having access to the jobs and getting and training the union and doing the ongoing work on the island and so thats been tremendous and also just going to start expanding in 20 17 so want to note for a plixment and goal for 2017. I want to reassure the board that the Affordable Housing planning is always being done in earnest. That we are in regular contact with bob and miriam on the Affordable Housing plan. We meet with at least quarterly we are in contact with them even more regularly. We are also coordinating with ticd to the extent we need to in terms of the parcelization and mapping of the blocks. So, i just wanted toim excited about doing a prezen takez and update in the spring. What is happening with the housing because there is a lot of work we have put into it and want you to know how seriously we take it. Like bob said, the Mayors Office of housing is allocated predevelopment funding for 2 projects for fy 17 18 but well bring back more specifics in the coming months. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hello commissioners. Madam president. Jay wallace and part of ken wood investment and treasure ilen enterprises and want to congratument arfbd sitting there and everybody who is sitting out here who participates so acactively year after year because 2016 was a tremendous year. Every time i go out to tesher island i take a picture and was late getting here today because i was showing people the new ramps. I have a video of driving on it and building 180 coming down. After standing here for 18 years actually i started standing at the dis 18 years ago and you have done a great job and cant tell how you how proud we are. I want tothank you very much and thank you to supervisor kim and before her supervisor daily. It has been a famely of is that made the project extraordinary so really a wonderful time to be here. In terms of the marina i want to tell you there is not one person who will be or has been evicted from the marina. That is a complete falsehood. That is called a fake news. That is not happening. We hope everybody at the marina today stays at the marina. If there is conversation about eviction or potential eviction or effective eviction, that is fake news. That is not real, so that is from my voice and i will leave it at that. We look very much forward to getting the marina started. We have compromised and compromised and compromised. We had many meetings with advocates on the other side and members the board and with the leadership of jane kim and john avalos we came to a compromise with the Sailing Center. Every day we continue to try to improve the marina for everybodys combined use. As you all know in 1996, or earlier when the first reuse plan was devised there was a marina proposed for clipper cove. In 1998 there was a marina propose said. There is always a marina. Should be no surprised. We will continue to work to make the best marina but nobody is being evicted and no secret deals happening. This is always in the Public Domain as you know. Thank you to your time and daub who has done a extraordinary job. We are pleased to see Treasure Island moving forward. Thank you. Good afternoon. Ticd here to say thank you for your support. 2016 was a very good year for the project. I think it is testament to the fact we have a great partnership. Tida is a key member of the effort to develop the island so should take pride 2016 being a water shed year. After we move into implementation we are happy we have a teak that works well together and go to the commissioners comments, yes, we do take it very seriously we always continue to do better just as we did with the landscape architecture. We brought the best we could find in the area and outside the area to take our landscape plans to the next level, so similar to that when we get to a vertical buildings we will have Design Partners and reach far and wide for good Design Partners to make this place as good as we can make it so please lookward to the next year and will come to you with some vertical design forioyour review and approval. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Next item, please. Item 8, wasteWater Treatment plant planning. Good afternoon directors. Liz herb harn the assist chbt Development Program manager with tida and here to give you update on the work we have been doing for planning the new wasteWater Treatment plant. The agenda today is to go through a little backgroupd, the process for planning, the draft mou and key elements about that, some of the process technology that we are considering, and then a schedule and review of next steps. Background information, i think you are familiar with the Development Plan and the reason we start here is this set of land uses is 8 thousand homes commercial and office space will generate wastewater that needs to be treated on the island. We have a existing plant but as the buildout happens we need increase and improved wastewater plant. This was also envisioned in design for development. The picture on the north east corner shows the new Treatment Plant site and that is roughly 5. 74 acres. There is a vertical line there in the box, the otherthe vision was the plant would be in the north section of that space and in the southern space it would be the pu c lot which is roughly 5. 88 acres. Ill go into this further. The definitions we have used and you will see this in the mou just for clarification, the plan first off the plan dus anticipate producing recycled water for the development and in describing the facilities, we have chosen to use these breveiations and definitions so the waste protu Water Treatment plant with p is meant to describe the process equipment. The actual treatment of sewage to reasonable affluent. The rwf is recycled water facility where it is further treated such it is used for irrigation and other gray Water Systems in buildings. The [inaudible] is the pipe that would carry water from the plant out to the bay if we need to go that way. And then wwtf is the waste Water Treatment facility which is all of these. The Treatment Plant, recycled water facilsty and outfall so just some language that we use in the mou. Also, background wise, the edcmoa inventioned the navy keep the existing plant through 2020. The dda had the infrastructure plan which called for the San Francisco Public Utilities commission to provide a new or upgrated wasteWater Treatment plant as needed to meet the flow and treatment requirements of the projects projected for each major phase and the developer ticd prepares the pad, tida clear title for that land and the pu c will build the plant. The draft memorandum of understanding provides the different roams and responsibilities and parameters for uperating the existing plant as well as designing and constructing the new plant. The eir, Environmental Impact report, envisions the additional parcel is 4 to 6 acres not to exceed 6 acres. This is the same graphic in bobs presentation for schedule for conveyance the Treatment Plant is in the northeastern corner and those parcelsit is hard to see on the graphic but parcel 6 and 32 spected to transfer end of july this year. The current plan is where the plant is proposed to be is on land already owned by tida but the additional parcels coming from the navy will be used for the full site of the whole facility including the pu c additional parcel. A little blt the planning process rfckts usually the process starts with establishing the permits for governing the plant. We listed a few. The regional board is Regional Water Quality Control board the bcdc have jurisdiction if we build a out fall to the bay. And establis army corp of engineer have jurisdiction for construction in waters of the u. S. And the last section there is for all the various environmental permits, fish and wild life and fish and game which are required if we have water discharging to the bay. So, the general sequence here sfr planning is what we call presolicitation phase first where we plan to finalize the memorandum of understanding between pu c and tida and first step is confirm the study area, where this plant and facility may go. We also want to confirm the regulatory setting and what the permit may requirement for this plant. And then evaluate how to deliver the project. What we call permit method and ill talk more about that in a minute. The next phase is actually do the solicitation whether a full traditional design or a Design Build Team and we do plan to set up a Steering Committee for governing the process with the pu c where tida a member. Finally implementing is design, build it, operate it and then decommissioner the existing plant. I mentioned the study phases first, the critical elements here are to determine the treatment process. The process will dictate the foot print and how much space we need and review the delivery methods. This could be traditional design bid build or design build approach or other ideas for delivery. The whole target is operational by 2022 and ill show more detailed squej here in a minute and then also wanted to point out pu c budgeted 63 million over the next 3 years for this work. In terms of delivery method there are lots of new versions of building things in the world. This is not just for Treatment Plants but traditionally you design it, bid for contractors to build it, but design build has become very popular and common with a schedule issue which we may have here where you study the project and set preliminary parameter squz hire a Design Build Team which is a designer and contractor together and everyone works collaboratively to produce the product. The effect is a couple years of time savings. The draft memorandum of understanding between the San Francisco Public Utilities commission and Treasure Island development authority, these are the key elements. As i mentioned it spells out the responsibilities of the parties, both design and construction responsibilities, ownership, future operations and maintenance as well as the permits requirements and responsibilities for getting permits. It also point out the capacity requirements, the various flows that govern design of this plant. It calls out the conditions precedent to construction. The Site Preparation has to be ready for the plant and regulatory and environmental clearance has to be in place for the plant to be built. Finally, Real Property considerations. There are other elements in the mou, but these are the key ones. Again, background the dda calls for the mou to include terms that the San Francisco Public Utilities commission is responsible for financing and constructing the plant. It also says that the pu c should develop a service plan that will give milestones for the implementitation of this planning and designing process. It calls for a meet and confirm process among tida, master developer and pu c if there should be a problem with meeting any of the milestones and a meet and confer process among the parties for discussion if the timing of the plant starts to interfere with the permit and subdivision map process for the development. The mou refers to the study phase, but i just wanted to include here some preview of the study work that will be done by pu c and technologies they may consider. I will go through this quickly bullet each of the stepsnothing is eliminated, everything is open for consideration and the various elements of the process are outlined in the draft scope of work to review different secondary options. Activated floods which is common in the treatment world rkts sequence batch reactors bio reactors, biological areas and felters and this is not meant to be a exclusive list. Every option is on the table. Further to produce recycled water which requires tertiary treatment we allow for consideration of constructed wetland which was an original contept in the planment not dictating ogo that way but options. Thelash bultd is the bio solids. We asked that the designers consider producing class a bio solids which allows them to be spread on the ground. As you know we are considering a urban farm and there may be good linkage with solids from the plant to be used as fertilize rb for the farm. The next couple slides are again more options in the treatment process. What i like to highlight is for producing recycled water we do need to meet title 22, which is the california code of regulations that allows it to be used for irrigation and human contact. Overall the idea is in the same theme with the development of being a sustainable and green infrastructure. A lot of these treatment alternatives are in that theme of state of the art advance td technologies. We like to do something other than business as usual so sthais great opportunity to have the state of the art plant. This graphic shows the area we are talking about. The background is faded off but the north east end of the island cht this rectangle shows the possible area for the plant and the new plant would roughly be about half of that area shown. This is just the area for opportunity and will place the plant within that space. The schedule for this, this is very detailed or not very detailed but a detailed step by step schedule that is still very conceptual delivered to the regional board and highlighted here in the notes are the existing plant will be conveyed the end of 2020 and new target for 2022. As development is ramping up we will be in the process building a new plant and still oprailting on the existing plant and if we do a design build we have a opportunity to accelerate the new plant delivery date. The next steps, next is for the mou to finalize that and we expect to bridge that to this body in march as well as to the pu c commission. The planning will go forward with pu c is planning to hire a project manager expected the end of this month. They will do the study, which their taurmnology is conceptual engineering report and this is where they determine what the process is, how much footprint it will take, how to procure the servicess and then go ahead with the results of that and prepare rfp. Finally, in the future after the planning is done, well go fl to design and construction. Design the plan, construct it, start it up, commission it into service and after its proven to be working we decommission the existing plant. Thats a update and will come back to you next month and happy to answer any questions. That thank you very much. This topic sometimes is very dry, but actually it is important considering 8,000 households to be on Treasure Island we better know what to do with the poop. So, i would just urge youi know the staff is attentative to this but just urge you and the pu c to really look at cutting edge technologies. There have been so much innovation in the last decade on what to do with waste treatment, recycled water, gray water and here we have a chance because we are building new to really do the most cutting edge thing that we can. Im not a expert on what they all are, but hope in this process that we urge you and the pu c to really employ the best methods possible. Here is our chance to do it. And with your opponent to the wetland, i just got to say that im glad that thats a consideration because it is a natural way in which we may recycle some of our waste water. I was just hiking along the coast at the point reyes where they have wetland created from reclaimed land that was pasture for cow squz all the detriment that came from the cows spilling into the waterways, they have actually within the last 5 years created new wetlands and it has become such a important place for the migration of sea shore birds on that great migtory bird way that crosses all the way to the arctic and also for all of the fauna and flora and animals that live in the area, so wetlands i think can be very important so hope we will look at it for Treasure Island as well. Any other comments from directors . Yes, i have a question. I basically thank you for that excellent presentation andologist want to commend you. Looking at this report this is how a report is supposed to be put together. It is very detailed. You could look in any page and you outline what the expectations are and background history and the technology, the things that we need to be looking at and as i was going through your presentation i was very impressed because this is a reference material. The San Francisco Public Utility Commission is embarked on the largest wasteWater Treatment facility probably in north america now in the bayview hunters point. 3. 7 billion. Not only that, they are the same commission is taxed with providing on site wasteWater Treatment for San Francisco for Treasure Island and as commissioner fei tsen mentioned before, these are great endeavors and can be models with new technology all over the world, so ours is actually a test case for Northern California or places like that to prove that they could have a waste Water Treatment. I know the waste Water Treatment was envisioned for mission bay but they could not do that because that is main land and they had to wait till the construction of the waste water. I like where you put all the alternatives. The new technology. Now as i speak the San Francisco Public Utilities is looking at successful models and state of the art. This is very encouraging. I deduced from your presentation since we have all most about 300 plus acres of open space and parks that the recycled will probably be the main water we will use there and that is significant. I dont know of any other projects within main land San Francisco that have a elaborate system so that facility itself will be a indicator has to how we are planning in all of thesis these and how the infrastructure will be laid out. That will be very very interesting. On the timeline that you have, you indicated that there will be a committee in which tida has to bewhen is the formiation of that and how is that process . We have the Steering Committee is what you are referring to. The pu c is planning that and im not familiar with the timeline but they indicated they would like our director bob beck to sit on that Steering Committee so that will happen refly within the next several months because procurement of service to continue the study is ongoing and expected the end of this month or next. That will be great and have our committees so we can ask further queckzs questions and use your report as a template to navigate the project. Thank you for the excellent report. Mr. Dunlop. Thank you for your presentation and just a real quick question. We had received numerous awards for being a green project and i believe that some of the formerly named clinton gold whatever was because of our plan to be a green and recycle everything that is on the island. In some ways doesnt that force us down a certain pathway if we want to retain this rating . Yes. The rating is actually not completely depend on what we do with the plan, the rating is for the project as a whole and as i understand the process, there was a application for the
