With that i would like to ask [inaudible] assistant projoket manager to give background and walk you through the proposed item for your consideration. Thank you. Good afternoon president rosales and members. The item today is request to approve the Hunters Point shipyard [inaudible] released junethry, 2015 and also to approve the studio assignment process for relacement studio building. [inaudible] providing a overview and background [inaudible] details about the elements of the relocation plan z related rolocation obligation and also have chad [inaudible] here today to answer the questions. He is with the firm that is advising. Next i will ask marty mickee, she is the president for Ship Yard Trust for the arts to provide information. I want to point out that in the audience today are michael [inaudible] who can provide details around construction and timing of Building Activities on the shipyard and they sit in the third row. Ill start with general context. As knroi the shipyard is developed in 2 phases by lunar and includes lands on Hunters Point and candle stick [inaudible] this position of Development Agreement [inaudible] for the project for executed in 2003 for phase 1 and in 2010 for phase 2. The first phase of Development Underway on parcel a is mostly residential but other phases will includeophorous and retail. Also for the shipyard is a vibrant Arts District geographical center. The location is anchored by building 101 which is a existing building with 150 Artist Studios and new art est studio buildings and commercial kitchen will be developed in close proximity and will be part of the shipyard Arts District or arts complex. The general location you can see on the slide pretty much in the center of the shipyard and New Buildings are circleed on the map. The vision for the shipyard art district is a extension of the present Artist Community of nearly 300 artist there today. On this illustration you see the 7 buildings that artist are in. Approximately half of the artist in building 101 which is the building that is retained and the other half of the artist are in several buildings on partial b which is sth next partial of development. All existing buildings [inaudible] to make room for future housing and the artist with studio space will be accommodated to be constructed new Artist Studio building next to building 101. On thislide you can see the location of the future artist building next to the existing building 101. If you look that existing conditions of the site you see the new artist building will be relocated where building 110 currently is and therefore it requires the [inaudible] building 110 has several stud wroe spaces in the past but all the artist have been accommodated in vacant buildsings and others until the replacement studios are ready. The only remaining building is [inaudible] commercial kipen operator on the shipyard for many many year jz whos client base include 60 Small Businesses who use their facility to prepare their products. [inaudible] is treated as part of the Artist Community for location purposes and will be in the replacement kitchen located at the other end of building 101felt also replacement facilities are constructed by lunar in fulfillment of phase 2 [inaudible] requires all artist and [inaudible] all shipyard tenant be rolocated on site and not require today leave the shipyard. The dda also requires that relocation efforts allow for a smooth transition for the artist specifically allowing as many artist as possible to remain in their studios until the new artist building is available so allowing them to move directly. In the event that interim facilities are required the dda suggested [inaudible] current approach to rolocating is in full compliance. All artist in 104, [inaudible] without any interim accommodation squz all the building 110 artist have been temporarily accommodated, most in building 101 but retain the right tooz move into the new artist building. Also the commercial kipen is relocated in their separate relacement kitchen so we are in full compliance of all the requirements that were outlined in the dda. In addition to the great benefits that are provided by lunar, there are certain legal requirements that apply to relocation that occur as a result of projects that receive public funding as is the case. For the shipyard relocation, we have 2 legal frameworks, one is dda is the other is the federal uniform location [inaudible] ill refer to both of these laws collectively as relocation law. Relocation law calls out Certain Services [inaudible] also includes other notices such as notice of eligibility, notice to vacate, they are all required under rolocation law to make sure tenants effected by rolocation are kept informed. Rolocation law also calls out Advisory Services and moving expenses and appeals process through which the agreements can be addressed. All of this has been addressed in the relocation plan. Relocation planning started several years ago when we hired [inaudible] opc started with a survey of the existing facilities to inform linars [inaudible] started designing the buildings and [inaudible] with extensive input from the Artist Community and the scumatic design if the kitchen were approved in 2014 and the replacement Artist Studio were approved in may of 2014. At the time oof the design approval we informed the commission that a handful of artist may experience Financial Difficulties transitioning from the old space to the new space because of rent increase and [inaudible] to date [inaudible] raised 10 thousand dollars for the artist fund. There will be potential additional benefit frz some of these artist if they qualify as a sknz ill talk to that in more detail. There were u78 numerous check ins with the artist. H mostly in the form of artist meetings or workshops at the shipyard. [inaudible] also have regular check ins with [inaudible] the next step in the chain of relocation is the release of the draft relocation plan. [inaudible] june 2 to announce the june 3 plan release. [inaudible] 30 day Public Comment period in accordance with relocation law and in order to make it easiest for the artist to get answers for the questions [inaudible] june 11 at the shipyard where opc answered all the questions the artist had. Those questions as well as additional questions received in writing by the july 3 deadline are included in the final version of the relocation plan you have before you today and those questions and answers are included in attachment 5. I want to highlight the most important elementoffs the relocation plan. For example the plan establishes eligibility date for relocation assistance. The agreement would be june 2010 which is within the dda was executed but because there was turn over befween then and the relacement studio design that fs customize frd the artist at the shipyard at that point recollect oci extended the date to may 20, 20s 14 which is the date the replacement studio Building Design was approved. The relocation plan points out the [inaudible] begins with receiving notice of eligibility. [inaudible] artist who leave voluntarily not connected to the future relocation or development on the shipyard prior to receiving a notice of eligibility are giving up their space and relatement studio build{they are informed by the landlord before they move out. The relocation plan outlines [inaudible] which includes being available to answer questions, distributed information [inaudible] relfs to offset replacement spaces which is only needed if a artist decides to move off site. In that case they will still be eligible for relocation benefits to move into another studio, not the relacement building t is the artist choice to do that. As part of the Advisory Service the relocation consultant will be planning the actual move logistics. The relocation plan describes benefits that are available for artist and for the commercial kitchen [inaudible] oci will hire movers and will move the artist positions from the current build toog the new. If artist take advantage of that they will not incur out of pocket expenses. They have the choice to either conduct a self move or hire their own mover or specially mover in which case they go through the regular relocation benefits process which means submitted reimbursement. Businesses are eligible for additional benefits which are required to reestablish [inaudible] the expenses in the reestablishment category can total up to 25 thousand dollars and include increased rent cost for up to 2 years. So, as i mentioned before there are a hand full of artist who may experience financial heartship moving from the currents to the new space and some of them will qualify as businesses. If that is the case then the first 2 years of expenses or increased rent expenses will be covered through the relowication budge squt the funds that [inaudible] will kick in after year 2. In order to qualify as a business certain documents need to be provided including a business license and tax returns that show the business contributes to the income of the business, owner and opc will collect all this information to inform us which artist will qualify as a business and receive additional benefits. In addition to our request that the xhilsh approve the plan recollect we request approval of the process used to assign studios. The process is facilitated by star [inaudible] ill ask marty mu key who is kars president to speak to that process. Good afternoon commissioners. Marty mu key for shipyard trust to the arts. Just one correction rsh we have 15 thousand in our artist [inaudible] for had first year we have 2 year tooz fund raise covering the first year of the move for the artist at the new rent jaet the fund now is at 15 thousand dollars. The studio reassignment frauz, shipyard trust to the arts is operating as subcontractor to opc and wree pleased that we were brought into incorporated into this part thorf process because it is a place the artist have a say in their future. They are losing studios and paying more rent but at least they get they are losing their studios and paying more rent but at least they get a chance to paraticipate in where they end up in the new build{to many artist that is a big deal. So, basically there is 140 artist moving into 130 studios. Beyond the question of a doubt it is like herding cats to get this accomplished. We tried to design something simple and straight forward. The mechanism is the studio sizes are broken into Cluster Groups. For example, if you want a studio of 250 square feet you would fall into a group of other artist who want a similar studio and your group has a range of say 230260 and that is the Cluster Group. There are approximately 12 Cluster Group of the 140 artist and there are some excluded because of specially activities that we are doing so lets say there are 12 Cluster Groups of 120 artist, and what we are planning to do is bring those artist that we set up meetings and bring the artist together and showing them the model that lunar built of the new artist building and also we have documentation from ibi who is lunars architect so artist can look at the plan jz the model to tell exactly what studios are available in their group and then well let them sit down and talk to each other. If they can determine among themselves who wants what studio, then they pick their studio, if everyone agrees they sign a document and at the end of the day they get a studio they want. We hope they can reach a consensus. If they cant well use their siniority date and start oldest to newest and oldest picks first thmpt only alternative is have ocii say you are going in this space and you are going in this space. I feel this process gives some pow er to the artist, so that is it in a nut shell. It is very straight forward. For the Group Meetings we require 75 percent of the artist in the cluster are present fl the meeting. The issue was brought to the artist and voted by the artist, it wasnt a mandate set by star. We asked do you want the whole cluster to be there or are you willing to have 75 percent. We are willing to have aortartist represent them if they cant be there. We feel we have done everything we can to bring them into the process so they can choose and hope it goes by consensus. That is it in a nut shell. Questions . Thank you marty for describing the process. The first tenants to move is the nob [inaudible]. They will be relocated into the replacement kitchen as soon as the building is constructed. Most of the Kitchen Equipment will be new to allow for a transition with minimal business interruption. We recognize the number of Small Businesses that rely on [inaudible] will be impacted and we are working hard to insure any description will be as short as possible. Ocii lunar and [inaudible] has also commenced lease negotiations [inaudible] to insure [inaudible] continued success at the shipyard. And nob nab is a business and eligible to receive the rent off the payment up to 25 thousand as mentioned earlier. In a Chronological Order the next step is the following, [inaudible] receive a notice of eligibility and a 90 day notice to vacate with a november move date. Closer to the move, [inaudible] also receive as 30 day notice to haveicate which will have the same move date or adjusted date. Can only be a later date. As soon as the kitchen is complete lunar hires movers to rolocate the business. Lunar is open to a phased move [inaudible] inconvenient [inaudible] muchbed out of building 110, the building will be demaunshed to make room for the relacement Artist Studio building. For the artists, the next activ ty will be studio assignments. That will happen this year or it will start this year and then next year lunar will be buzzy constructing the relacement studio building and oci will continue to refine Management Structure for the artist complex. As soon as the building is completed which is expected to be in early 2017 the artist can move into the new building. This concludes my presentation and im available for questions. Thank you.
