Published to this point to support the fiscal feasibility finding and with these projects the port and city staff will pursue policy approvals with a term sheet with fiscal approval. It was the staffs suggestion to separate the two and really the fiscal feasibility finding, again which jennifer will speak to, is necessary to start Environmental Review, and i think were all aware of the aggressive schedule that this project is under taking, and we want to make sure at the staff level we are maximizing the Time Available for Environmental Review. Thats a important component of this project so getting passed fiscal feasibility and starting Environmental Review with all of the inputs peter was just talk about is really going to maximize the publics opportunity to understand the project in all of its complexity. The next phase of the negotiation is really going to final liezing that term sheet and the term sheet will typically articulate all of the business terms of the transaction. We hope
Commissioners. I am a resident in the area and on the board of directors for court side 38 bryant. Leslie katz long time no see. Congratulations on your appointment. Any of you get whiplash . I know i did. This is a break neck project in San Francisco and i have never seen this. The giants took two years to build their place and it paid off. This is a lot of money coming from hollywood to muscle their way into our neighborhood and i want to say that clearly, and this neighborhood is a 5 billiondollar investment in San Francisco with 6,000 residential units and more on the way. You all know that. I was a big booster for the cruise terminal and i thought it was going to be a huge addition to San Francisco and so did our neighborhood and we worked out solutions to complex issues. This has a lot of complex issues and absolutely no solutions. A lot of eye candy is what i see. Okay. Eye candy, smoke and mirrors, hollywood. What we need is a comprehensive discussion with the neighborhood, the
I know when the cac was put together there was no one from the Entertainment Industry on the cac which i thought was i know was a complete oversight, it wasnt intentional. I know you assured me that [speaker not understood] in the community would be involved in the planning process. I want to make sure were continuing to really take into account the fact this is an entertainment venue. I think that community can have a huge contribution in making sure that it is successful both in terms of design, working with the surrounding neighborhood. I want to see if we can get a little update on that. Thank you. Supervisor wiener, we very much take seriously your questions and the need to integrate the entertainment and night Life Community into the design and programming and thoughts around this arena are critical to its success. The warriors have reached out to event promoters in the area in order to Start Talking to them about some of the specifics around the design. It is their intention not
Jamie whitaker sorry. Please feel free to line up on this side of the chamber if i called your name. Thank you. Good afternoon, my name is jamie whitaker. Thank you very much. For having this hearing. I took a break, went to the rest room and i overheard some conversation that was basically im just looking to get a piece of the pie. Thats fine. We all need to make a living. But my fear is that while a lot of folks are pursuing a piece of the pie, whether it be Building Trades unions, members, hotel union, lawyers, political lobbyists, theyre creating a dichotomy. What is getting lost in the process is the speed which this is going through, environmental and Impact Review in nine months instead of the typical year and a half is the Health Impacts that could be made worse by increased Traffic Congestion and other issues. The department of Public Health created a Healthy Development measurement tool to help evaluate projects in regards to does it increase the cancercausing particulate mat

My name is paula [speaker not understood]. I believe brenda already had to leave. Good afternoon and thank you for letting me speak today. I live at 2 19brannon, which is within a block and a half of the proposed arena and id like to express my concerns about the rapid pace at which this process for the warriors project has been moving. Its very disturbing and i know its disturbing to my neighbors as well, to the people that ive spoken to. The neighbors in my area told me they havent had a chance to look at it. They havent heard about it. Im hearing all kinds of different things. And i think that its very important that were involved with this because truly it will aff
