are staff contracted from the department of, the city's department of administrative services but work full-time at o.c.i.i. in addition, we have two part-time staff who have a very specific skillset and therefore are only work part-time. and in addition, both are retired, so they fall under slightly different rules than our full-time staff. in addition, we'll spend $2.3 million on city departments, enact the m.o.u.s to purchase services from our city partners. so if a plan is reviewed by planning or if we have a contract that's reviewed by city attorney or our participation in the city's accounting system, s.f.p. and administration and internal controllers, billed back to o.c.i.i. $1.6 million in nonlabor costs, other to obtain specialized services like the fiscal audit or nonlabor costs like the rent or our worker's comp insurance, costs that are for the general administration of the agency and are not related to one specific project. so, together those three costs, labor, costs obtained from the city and nonlabor, total $12.9 million. in addition, two long-term liabilities we have to fund. one is the pension liability, our pension liability is what it would take to fully pay the retirement benefits for all current and future o.c.i.i. employees up to the end of the amortization date. so, this year we'll be paying $1.3 million towards that cost, which means that we are on track to be fully funded by the end of the amortization period, which means that we, we are projected to be able to pay all of the retirement costs that we have promised to pay. and our retirement health care liability is $2.7 million. that's a combination of paying our share of current retirees' health care costs, as well as all future -- the future liability of all current and future o.c.i.i. employees. so, this is called our oped liability, $2.7 million next fiscal year and what's exciting about this, for the second year in a row we'll be fully funding our long-term liability, means we are projected to be able to cover all of our health care costs for all current and future o.c.i.i. employees, and there are not that many entities that work towards 100% coverage of that liability into the future. so, i think that is something that really speaks to the agency's financial health. so, at this point, we have done such a deep dive, a nice opportunity to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, one thing that i find useful to do in the bigger picture, to look at the differences between the prior year and the current year. as you can see, between last year and this year, we'll be spending 71 million more dollars in bond proceeds and as you'll recall, we issued in 17-18, we issued three bonds at the beginning of the year, 2017, a, b, and c, affordable housing bonds and infrastructure bond in transbay. the issuance of the bonds was intended to fund infrastructure in transbay and affordable housing in the shipyard and in mission bay, and so you can see the expenditure of this proceed is reflected here. as you can see, there's no change in our reserve funding. we don't have any dollars on reserve, so we have no expenditure from the sources. from other, our expenditure is going down $38 million and that's primarily due to the fact that the $20 million in cash proceeds budgeted in this current year, so that's a major drop towards next year, and then you can see in rttpf, nonadmin, sorry, difference, spending $42 million less, and that's being driven by three things. the first is that in the three bond issuances we had earlier in the year, we were really projecting a much higher level of debt service than actually resulted. that means that the market responded really well to our bonds and we are paying much less interest than we had actually anticipated. so, that's a major savings to the agency, and in addition, we just issued 2017 d and e, refunding bonds that really reduce the cost of our debt service. so, together those two things mean that our use of property tax to fund our nonadministrative costs has really gone down, means we have more capacity to issue more future bonds and we have more to pass on to the taxing entities. in, between 17-18 and 18-19, you can see some changes in our overall usages. the biggest draw -- the biggest drop, i think, you can see, is the third one down, again debt service, our debt service is going down by $40 million this year because of the drivers i just mentioned, and our affordable housing expenditure up by 109 million, and because we are entering into, we anticipate entering into a number of new affordable housing loans in the coming year. and that will be c.p.11a, mission block 6 west and c.p.10a and upwards of $50 million loans so you can really see that we are moving the needle in terms of putting affordable housing dollars out on the street. so, again, just because property taxes, the thing that kind of, you know, everyone is always the most interested in, our primary use of debt service of nonadmin is debt service. you can see the very large blue pie wedge and the second biggest use is pledged tax increment. as a reminder, increment that's generated either in mission bay north, mission bay south, or the state owned parcels in transbay, very small amount in south beach harbor and this year it's very exciting to report, we just got the first property tax distribution from the controller in january, and we have over $150,000 generated in pledge property tax income in shipyard 1. so that means there is starting to be some there, and it's an indication that redevelopment works. we have worked really hard to put development out in that area and it's now generating property tax which is showing up on the rolls and generating revenue for future development, which is what redevelopment is supposed to do, so that's really exciting. and so our next steps are to hear your commentary and feedback, integrate that into the rops, and then go back for oversight board approval on january 22nd, and then submit an improved rops before february 1st. and if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer them. >> are there any speaker cards, madam secretary? >> no, madam chair, there are no speaker cards. >> i will close public comments since there are no speaker cards. any questions from my fellow commissioners? or comments? >> i have a question. how much -- total we owe? >> our debts, current debt service portfolio is almost $1 billion. >> uh-huh. >> what was that number? >> almost $1 billion. >> 1 billion. >> how much over? >> it's almost one. it's between 900 million and a billion. >> how are we going to pay that? >> we pay that on an annual basis with our debt service costs. prior to issuing the bonds, we go through a really detailed process where we underwrite the bonds and we only issue what we know we can fund with our current level of property tax increment, and issue our debt with 1.2 times coverage, so 120% of the dollars that we need to pay our debt service into the future. >> are we ever going to pay off? >> well, we -- we will. but each time we issue new debt, because we issue and usually 30-year, we have usually a 30-year term, each time we issue the latest dollar amount, the last debt service payment is kind of current year plus 30 years. so we won't know the final date we pay everything off until we have issued our last bond, made our last affordable housing loan, made our last developer reimbursement. it's really a long-term process where we issue debt, pay it off, issue debt, pay it off, and it's really kind of long-term financial planning. >> ok. >> thank you, commissioner singh. any other questions? >> i had a question on, can't find it here, but the city m.o.u.s. i think it was two something, 2.3 million. >> 2.6, i think. >> 2.6. i'm not sure that i saw anywhere but i didn't read all the attachments with great detail a list of those city agencies, it would be nice to know who our city partners, i mean, obviously the city attorney, the real estate planning, those kinds of jump up. >> usually in the budget we provide, the rops is kind of like an outer limit document. so we don't tend to provide that level of detail at this stage. but we are, as a matter of fact, the moment i submit the rops we'll be starting the budget process, so we'll be before you in april and then at that point i usually go through a detailed list of what all the city department m.o.u.s are. >> ok. my issue is, not issue, but interest is not just knowing who the city partners are, but whether we have sufficient funds allocated for service by them. i'm always of the view that it's better to anticipate a greater need and obviously if you are under budget that's great, but the reverse is an issue, right? you think you only need a certain level of service and something unforeseeable happens and we go to city partners. i know there is flexibility in the budgets so we can address that. i would be interested in assuming 2.6 million is in everyone's mind sufficient. >> so, we work very closely with our city partners. i'm in contact with all their budget c.f.o.s and we talk about who the number is for the current level of service, if any service needs are increased, and then the three years that i've been here, we have never, we have neither exceeded our budget nor been short of funds. so amounts have been, you know, adequate to meet our needs. i think one nuance is certainly you never want to have insufficient expenditure, that creates constraints on the work program. neither do you want to overbudget, because that actually creates problems for our city partners. so, for example, if we wanted to say you know, we want to increase our city attorney budget by $500,000 just in case, the city attorney then they recognize that revenue as budgeted revenue, and then they would calibrate expenses up to that amount. so if they ex pend and don't recover, that creates a year-end close problem so really the goal is to thread the needle and ask for, like being goldilocks. you want to ask for just too much but not too much and find the happy medium. and that's what we are always working for. so far for the last three years we have hit it. >> ok, great. and the only other thing that popped out, and i know the answer, but it's always good to ask, is the reference to the western addition. >> yes. as you know, it's not an approved enforceable obligation so we are not allowed to enter into any new financial obligations in that area. we continue to have a couple properties in that project area which in the d.o.f. approved long-term management property plan are designated to be transferred to the city. and our development services manager can speak a little bit more to how that process is going. >> thank you. so, in the western addition, as well as some other project areas, we have remnant parcels of property we still own and are in the process of disposing of pursuant to the property management plan. we also have developer obligations in those project areas as well, some o.p.a.s, participation agreements, development agreements, there may not be funds involved but if the developer asked for a certificate of compliance or other provisions in those agreements, we need to spend staff time to project manage those obligations. so, we are in the process of closing those out, but we are not creating new obligations in those areas. does that answer -- >> yes, and i guess the question is, more precisely, what is the remaining asset/assets that we own? >> in the western addition specifically. it's the fillmore heritage center, handed off property management to the city but in the process of handing over the asset. and the other is a remnant parcel called the ellis street driveway, directly next to the fillmore heritage center. serves as the driveway to that shopping center. and in the p.m.p. that is slated for disposition as a fair market sale, so that is also on the work list for 18-19. >> ok. >> any other comments? commissioner bustos. >> just one clarification for mr. lee. yes. slide 22. i know this, but i just want to make sure i get this. so, on the bullet, for small business enterprises, 74% for professional services is 10 million. that's 10 million in fees, right? >> that is correct, yes. >> just making sure the math -- ok. >> and i have one clarification. of brie. 47 staff and three contracted. what are -- can you expand on that? >> sure. so, if you go back in the way back time machine and remember dissolution and at one point the city, we thought we were going to be a city department, and then we were not a city department, and so three former o.c.i.i. employees joined the department of administrative services staff and, but they continued to perform their same duties and do the same work that they did prior to dissolution at o.c.i.i. so they are city employees but perform 100% of their scope of work out of o.c.i.i. >> so we pay for their -- >> a.d.m. sends us a quarterly bill for the cost of their salaries and benefits, which we then reimburse the city. >> and so that arrangement is contracting, ok. thank you. well, thank you for your very detailed presentation. so, now we are going to call the next item. next order of business, item six, public comment on nonagenda items. madam chair. >> do with he have -- >> we have no speaker cards. >> close that public comment portion and let's call the next item, please. >> next order of business is item seven, report of the chair. >> i have no report. >> and the next order of business, item eight, report of the executive director, a, 50 jerrold and 555 innes avenue, hunters point shipyard blocks 53 and 54, 16 inclusionary below market rate, below 80% area median income. item b, 848 fairfax avenue hunters point, phase iia, marketing out comes project report, 107 unit multi-family hope s.f. development, and 26 are new affordable un its, and 80 public housing replacement units, all affordable at 45% area median income. bayview hunters point. >> two items, i'll present those. as you may recall, we have an m.o.u. with the mayor's office of housing and community development that provides us with a number of services, including assisting o.c.i.i. with implementation of the marketing phase for affordable units in the project, and the m.o.u. provides o.c.d. will write a marketing outcomes report after each project has completed the full lease up with the highlights of how that marketing went, and so there are two projects for which you have marketing outcomes reports in your packets. the first is for block 53 and 54, which is phase one of the hunters shipyard project. together those two blocks total 159 for sale units developed by lenar. of those 159 units, 16 are below market rate inclusionary units. and that project after completing its marketing received 85 applications for the 16 b.m.r. units and 16 successful home buyers, five through the rent burdened and assisted housing preference, and the remaining 11 were from the live in san francisco preference. there were two certificate of preference holders who did apply, unfortunately, neither was successful in purchasing a home, one of the c.o.p. holders was over the income maximum for this particular project, and the second i believe was not able to secure a mortgage for a unit. moving on to the second marketing outcomes report for hunter's view, iia, hope s.f. project. 107 units, 80 of those units were public housing replacement units serving the households of hunter's view who are there, so those were filled by the san francisco housing authority. but there were 26 new affordable units created in the project, 45% of median income affordable. 1,946 applicants for those 26 new affordable units. and some of the highlights of that marketing were that eight of the applicants were c.o.p. holders. three of those were successful and are now living at hunters view, and there are more details about the highlights of the marketing and the different case studies that are provided as well in the report. but if you have any questions, pam sims from our housing department is here to answer any questions that you might have. that concludes the director's report. >> are there any speaker cards? >> no speaker cards, madam chair. >> we are closing public comments. any comments, questions from fellow commissioners? on this matter? >> thank you for working so hard on this. >> these are great reports. >> yeah. >> very easy to follow. the testimonials are great. they are great. they add, they add the humanity to the numbers. nice. >> i'm happy that a lot -- a few of the c.o.p. holders are getting a house, or getting their units. so, thank you. >> coming back home. >> sorry? >> several are coming back, yes, and that's great news. so we will now call the next item. >> next order of business, nine, commissioners questions and matters. madam chair. >> are there any questions? from commissioners? >> no, i just want to, if we could just, when we close our meeting, close in memory of mayor lee, i have shared with nadia that maybe we should at some point in the near future look at naming our affordable housing initiative after mayor lee, affordable housing was such a big deal for him and we contribute to a large part of that. so, maybe sort of formalizing it at some point in the future would be nice. >> thank you, very well noted. any other questions? comments? from commissioners? >> i just, you know, i wholly agree, certainly. i am very saddened by his passing. the last conversation i had with him one-on-one was in july over lunch. i think the only lunch i had with him in at least two years and housing, housing, housing was 90% of the conversation. and so it's -- i think it's very appropriate, commissioner bustos. >> yeah, i -- i agree. my last conversation was really about him not being able to attend the formal opening of the bill sorro community center because he made a promise he would attend every ground breaking and every opening. and i didn't quite give him a bad time, but thought why are you not making it, and that was my last conversation with him about that. certainly he will be very well missed and i personally miss him, i think he was a very great supporter of affordable housing, as commissioner rosales said, housing, the conversation focusses on that. i agree, we will close in his honor. ok. so, yes. >> very well work done for the last year. let's give a hand. >> i agree. >> thank you. >> thank you. madam secretary, please call the next item. >> next order of business, item ten, closed session. there are no closed session items. the next order of business is item 11, adjournment. madam chair. >> yes. and we would adjourn in honor of mayor lee, a friend to many of us, and a friend to affordable housing initiatives. motion to close? >> i move. >> moved by commissioner bustos, seconded by commissioner singh. we will now adjourn the meeting. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> it's such an amazing, wonderful, wonderful morning. thank you for coming to this incredible event. i'm the director from the office of the mayor. i want to do a few house keeping notes beforehanding it over. i want to thank the office, our incredible leader here who made the event possible. and the partners at jon stewart company. i know i see kathryn back there, the amazing people. thank you for your leadership. (applause) and the community of infrastructure and investment, nadia, you are somewhere here. thank you so much for the investment in the amazing development and the mayor's office of housing and community development. thank you for coming here. so without further adue, we want to start the celebration this ribbon cutting, this amazing moment, we have our supervisor malia cohen and mayor london breed here. first, i want to bring up our director to kick us off. (applause) >> thank you very much for being here this morning. this is a really, really important time for me and for all of us. as a child growing up here in hunters point, i actually played on this very spot where we're standing. which is a surprise, that our childcare center is now here. we lived right there in the building right there in the place right here we were playing as children, my sister and i, who is the co-founder and there was a lot of housing in this area here. when we opened up the center and my program director tracy and i was walking through and i was telling the story, she said gladys it's here, the childcare center. and i was very moved but it couldn't be done without all of you helping and supporting us. i'm not going to be up here long but i really want to quote a saying by myriam wright elder man. children must have at least one person who believes in them, it could be a counsellor, a teacher, a preacher, a friend, it could be you. you never know when a little love, a little support will plant a special seed of hope. one of the things that we work very, very hard to do at frandelja that has now been open 17 years, is plant the succeed of success to ensure that all children have an opportunity to succeed in life, as well as their parents. again, i thank mayor london breed and supervisor malia cohen for being here this morning. thank you so very much. (applause) we will now hear from our mayor. >> thank you everyone and good morning. it's so excited to be here today. i grew up in the western edition community in public housing there and we were fortunate, the childcare facility i went to as a kid was just right across the street. mary lee would pick me up while my grandmother was working and we had a community, we had a lot of support. we would walk to school together, we grew up together and that's what being a community is about, making sure that our children have these incredible opportunities to start off in childcare to grow and thrive in our communities. i want to take a moment to acknowledge our mayor, mayor ed lee who constantly was an advocate for making sure we were fulfilling the old promises that we promised decades ago to the residents here in the bayview hunter's point community. this is a promise fulfilled today, it's an opportunity for our young people to grow and thrive. this is an opportunity to make sure that every single child here succeeds and going to preschool is just really the first opportunity any kid gets to grow and learn and thrive. and so i'm excited to be here, 70 slots. 70 slots. childcare -- (applause) childcare just like healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. every child in our city deserves this incredible opportunity and thank each and every one of you for being a part of this wonderful event, actually this is really cool, this floor is really soft and i'm kind of melting in it. we didn't have that, we had to play on the concrete. these kids are lucky, they have toys and new equipment and great stuff to play with. this is absolutely incredible and i'm so grateful to be here and i'm grateful for the amazing leadership of supervisor cohen who represents this district. she's a hard worker and cares about the community and steadfast, constantly pushing to make sure we're headed in the right direction and i think about ed lee again today, often times supervisor cohen and i would be the main persons going into his office talking about our districts and what we want and fussing a bit about what we want. and the mayor would just tell us, look, i'm going to take care of it, and he did take care of it. he took care of it and malia cohen has been a fierce advocate for making sure the community is taken care of. ladies and gentlemen, supervisor cohen. (applause) >> thank you. good morning ladies and gentlemen. so today really is a celebration no doubt. but this is truly a combination of all the work that started almost three years ago, frandelja has had a fantastic story that is rooted here in our community, started at gilman at true hope with the vision of a few community members that recognized there was a gap in service right here in the southeast. people should be able to walk their kids to school or drive a few minutes to drop their kids off. so that's when the leadership of frandelja got together. now, years passed and they came to me about three years ago and said we're in jeopardy of losing this, we need to move and find a site. i don't know if you remember that conversation, it was difficult to have, but it's true, ed lee was at the table and neighborhood and campaiommu partners as well as the developers of this project that assisted us in moving from one location to another so we don't lose any services. but let's be clear, we still need more quality early education opportunities here in our neighborhood just as we see across the city. this is a fantastic day we have come to celebrate this resource we're pouring into our community and the childcare facility that will make it a little bit, just a little bit easier for moms and dads to go to work, knowing that their child has a safe place, not only are they playing, but they're also learning. i think it's property to highlight they're learning basic fundamental principles that will put them on the pathway of being successful for education and then ultimately a career opportunity and who knows run for supervisor or mayor. we have a good track record right here. (applause) you're looking at two products of the public school system before you, good things do come out of san francisco and working class communities and i think that's a very important message we need to speak out over our little ones. so i'm proud to stand with the women that founded the high quality learning center and you know what's really beautiful is that it started with a vision and tenacity of community members that saw the need and they just took action. they weren't elected officials, they weren't appointed to anything, they felt the urgency and the call to action. they felt that urgency of now. and they stepped up. i want to give my humble gratitude to sandra and gladys for their leadership. there's many organizations here that help us with the funding of such an endeavor. so we as a city are proud to be part of working together to make sure this facility and others are successful. i want to say congratulations, it's a big victory for all of us here and i hope we can take a few moments in the early parts of 2018 to recognize this and celebrate. congratulations everyone. (applause) >> thank you supervisor cohen. madam mayor breed. i'm looking over to gladys, i believe we have some special guests, i see some amazing little ones over there, a special treat for the mayor here. but first, i think i'm to bring up miss ariana smith, miss smith is a parent of a child enrolled at frandelja. welcome. >> good morning. >> come on mama smith. don't be nervous. >> i'm not really a speaker but i want to say thank you to frandelja for being accessible to me as a single working parent and you guys have been so helpful making my child feel she's at home. it's been very helpful to me. i thank you for everything. thank you. (applause) >> miss gladys would you like to introduce the special performance or ribbon cutting first? special performance first. as you come up, we have a few elected officials here, our school board president. thank you for coming. miss gladys. >> they are very excited, maybe a little nervous, so if you know the songs, i would like for you to help them along. here's our performers. ♪ round and round ♪ the wheels on the bus ♪ go round and round ♪ all through the town ♪ the baby on the bus ♪ goes wah-wah-wah ♪ the baby on the bus ♪ goes wah-wah-wah ♪ all through the town ♪ the mommy on the bus goes ♪ shh-shh-shh ♪ the mommy on the bus goes ♪ shh-shh-shh ♪ all through the town ♪ the bus driver on the bus goes ♪ ♪ move on back ♪ move on back ♪ all through the town (applause) >> we're going to stop at three, is that enough? 3, 2, 1! >> we did it! ♪ ♪ we are celebrating the glorious grand opening of the chinese rec center. ♪ 1951, 60 years ago, our first kids began to play in the chinese wrecks center -- rec center. >> i was 10 years old at the time. i spent just about my whole life here. >> i came here to learn dancing. by we came -- >> we had a good time. made a lot of friends here. crisises part of the 2008 clean neighborhood park fund, and this is so important to our families. for many people who live in chinatown, this is their backyard. this is where many people come to congregate, and we are so happy to be able to deliver this project on time and under budget. >> a reason we all agreed to name this memorex center is because it is part of the history of i hear -- to name this rec center, is because it is part of the history of san francisco. >> they took off from logan airport, and the call of duty was to alert american airlines that her plane was hijacked, and she stayed on the phone prior to the crash into the no. 9 world trade center. >> i would like to claim today the center and the naming of it.

>> we wanted to make it applicable to all, we created a set of standards that can be achievable by everyone. >> do you have a few minutes today to give us a quick tour. >> i would love to. let's go. >> this is such an inviting space. what makes this a lactation room? >> as legislation requires it has the minimum standards, a seat, a surface to place your breast on, a clean space that doesn't have toxic chemicals or storage or anything like that. and we have electricity, we have plenty of outlets for pumps, for fridge. the things that make it a little extra, the fridge is in the room. and the sink is in the room. our legislation does require a fridge and sink nearby but it's all right in here. you can wash your pump and put your milk away and you don't have to put it in a fridge that you share with co-workers. >> the new standards will be applied to all businesses and places of employment in san francisco. but are they achievable for the smaller employers in the city? >> i think small businesses rightfully have some concerns about providing lactation accommodations for employees, however we left a lot of leeway in the legislation to account for small businesses that may have small footprints. for example, we don't mandate that you have a lactation room, but rather lactation space. in city hall we have a lactation pod here open to the public. ♪ ♪ >> so the more we can change, especially in government offices, the more we can support women. >> i think for the work place to really offer support and encouragement for pumping and breast feeding mothers is necessary. >> what is most important about the legislation is that number one, we require that an employer have a lactation policy in place and then have a conversation with a new hire as well as an employee who requests parental leave. otherwise a lot of times moms don't feel comfortable asking their boss for lactation accommodations. really it's hard to go back to the office after you have become a mom, you're leaving your heart outside of your body. when you can provide your child food from your body and know you're connecting with them in that way, i know it means a lot to a mommy motionlely and physically to be able to do that. and businesses and employers can just provide a space. if they don't have a room, they can provide a small space that is private and free from intrusion to help moms pump and that will attract moms to working in san francisco. >> if you want more information visit sfdph.org/breastfeedingatwork. ♪ ♪ up early to watch this, we thank you. we know that this will be played at subsequent times for others to be able to see what we are doing here. okay. also, the president is going to join us. she's the -- a commissioner of this committee. >> this is to address the infrastructure and transportation and that do not appear on the agenda. in addition to public comment, public comment will be held on each item on the agenda. >> there northeast public comment. >> i'm no. 3, consent agenda.
