Also for that reason, the d. D. A. Does provide that when the first park beginning in the fiscal year where the first spark accepted by tida, that ticd has an obligation over a fiveyear period to help subsidize the Operation Maintenance of the parks with the knowledge thaft c. F. D. Will only be begining to accrue. Excellent. Good. Thank you. This is not an action item. This is merely informational. So are there any questions from the public . Hearing none, whats the next item, please . Item number 11. Advisory Services Open house. Thank you, Board Members. As i mentioned in my report, we had an open house begin the Community Engagement around the thrnrs and providing services to residence on january 20. And it was truly an exceptional turnout. We had first people show up about five mince earlier than we had invited them. And we were went nonstop for the full four hours that we had several people did not take a restroom break. [laughter] during the course of the session. So, it was really, really wellattended. Again, we brought on associated rightofway services as a relocation consultant last summer. To assist in implementation of the thr rs, specifically for the residents of the villages at Treasure Island prior to july of 2011. To educate and advise residents on the benefits of the thr rs, conduct a Needs Assessment and part of the reason were beginning it now is to inform the planning and design of the Residential Projects well be developing with our partners under one Treasure Island. And assess what of those existing residents entitled benefits, how many might be able to be placed into Affordable Housing units and how many would need to be placed into market rate units and then also for purposes of planning those developments, predicting the number and bedroom count of the replacement units we need to construct. So the arws team includes, again, associated rightofway services but also interethnicka thats been assisting on some of our Translation Services as well as just advising format of materials for clarity of communication and consulting who has been helping us with the Graphic Design and, again, the communication, the clarification of our materials. Beginning in december, we sent letters to residents to households in both english and spanish and followed those up with flyers in january. And those were, again, targeted at those households specifickedly available for them. We put up the Treasure Island cove market and several other locations around the island to publicize the open house. Mark connor also put it in the t. I. News and we posted it for many other ways to get the message out to people. Interethnicka also did a targeted outreach to households that we knew to be you speak spanish or chinese as a primary language in extending personal invitations, knocking on doors, repeated phone calls and even text messages. And then, of course, we had bilingual staff at the open house. The open house itself was a fourhour session. It was just no formal presentation, but a drop in with people having the opportunity to have oneonone engagement with staff from arws, tida and tihdi and others. We had a series of poster board sessions around the room. The first station which was manned by myself answering questions about the Development Timeline and what the future of the island would hold. And then stations could go on and explain what the benefits are under the thr rs, what qualifies a household for those benefits and what some of their options would be. We also had a table for firsttime home buyers staffed by San Francisco Housing Development corporation that does firsttime home buyer training in conjunction with moe. They are not a city agency, but a nonprofit that does training in conjunction with city agencies. And they will be having an onisland session in may. Because the first building is also a source of plow shares building, they were present to provide outreach to veterans that might come through. This is just our flyer. We posted around the island doing outreach to folks. Some of the parents in conducting the open house. Again, the timeline that was presented at the november Board Meeting but was also part of our communication about how the development will unfold and the timeframe of which the island will be built out. And then just for, again, a snapshot in time for people to see were starting our outreach here in january with an intention to complete interviews between now and june. One of those big outcomes of the interviews is to give each household a memo that encapsulates the understanding. So theres a clear understanding of the household of what wi believe the benefits that they will be entitled to so they have something specific to their household as opposed to a generic policy. The first for sale housing will be available in 2020, developed by ticd on ybi and that will include market rate and affordable forsale units and the first rental replacement housing completed again in conjunction with ccdc in 2022 and then our target is to complete a new project with each of our partners every two to three years. The next one would be with catholic charities. Again, as we discussed several times, the population on the island includes pred. D. A. Households that are eligible for these benefits. Post d. D. A. Households that are not eligible for benefits under the thrr and those households that include some individuals entitled benefits and some that are not. And then, of course, the tie die partners that have a separate transition plan. In this case, were reaching out to those blue and orange households t pred. D. A. And mixed under this programme. And the primary qualification for people to receive benefits to have been on the island prior to the adoption of the d. D. A. Or execution of the d. D. A. So, anyone who was here in july of 2011 or earlier and this is one of the poster boards that we have on the idea of replacement housing, down payment, assistance or in lieu payment. In terms of our outcomes, we had again, our target audience was 220 households. 150 of those households were represented at the open house. An extraordinarily good turn outand 103 of those households signed up on that day for interviews with arwss. So, an extraordinarily successful event. We did have some turnout from tihdi and other resident answer we had anticipated that and were prepared to address their questions about the future as well. So information, the Board Members had copies of some of the handouts that we had. We had a f. A. Q. And summary of benefits bifold that we distributed to residents on the day of the workshop as well as homeownership workshop flyer to try and get that on peoples radar. For one Treasure Island residents, we had a separate f. A. Q. Addressing their transition housing opportunities in the future as well. So last week, arws opened their Resource Centre on the island, which is in one of the residential units and theyre having office hours on tuesdays, fridays and every other saturday. Well adapt this as we go forward to people in needs in terms of those tuesdays and fridays, including both daytime and evening hours. So we try to make this as accommodating as possible. One of the outcomes of the initial interviews and from the workshop is there is a tremendous interest in homeownership. So, some of that is in market rate ownership, but also in the possibilities of inclusionary, affordable ownership. So, were expecting a robust turnout for the may workshop. And were looking at potentially having an additional open house between now and the may workshop to provide people more information on the criteria and the certification process be in a position to potentially purchase an affordable inclusionary unit. In the meantime tarws is going to continue to reach out to those who havent scheduled interviews yet and to forward information to those households that did not attend the open house. Again, our overall goal here is to complete oneonone interviews and provide each household with a personalized beng description by the end of june. Ill take questions. Thank you. Are there questions . . Iek yes . Just a couple just quick questions. Firstly, thank you. Were there a fair amount of post it doesnt sound like it but postd. B. I. People who had, you know, questions or felt that the system isnt fairs . I had heard some you know, i went there ands some people mentioned that to me. Its like this is not fair. Just because of one date. How does this work . And before i forget, i should mention the food was awesome. Keep doing that. And im sure youll have full houses all the time. [laughter] ok. On the we sdrnlt a lot of postd. B. A. Residents who came to the workshop. Again, we only had 155 people total and that re. Sed 113 households and some households are worth more than one individual present. So, we didnt have a lot of post d. D. A. Households. Arws has had some phone calls from post d. B. A. Households and has been providing some background information. Also, some contact from people who believe that they are moved here pre prior to july 2011 and so for those households, well conduct a review to make sure that we have complete and accurate leasing records with on shore company. But, yeah. Some contact but not extensive. Thank you. Linda . Yes, bob. I said this before. So this presentation is excellent. And we have all the great outcomes. I think what i will suggest is to have all this information an excel with a spread sheet and the reason is because down the line, it might take one person or two or three and theyre going to challenge this process. But we need to be able to document in a way that people will be able to see the overall picture of what were doing here. Because all this information can be posted. This presentation material will just be an addendum or whatever. But at this point here and all the information is here and i can help to inform how to design that. I have the spread sheet here and you have all these people generating interest here. I foresee, and again it might be a challenge later on, but by the time we get there, we have all this wonderful workshops and oneonone meeting and Resource Centre and we can present to people and people can say, hey, if you did all this, then youve jumped the hurdles of something. Whether to the stakeholders and the commissioners and everyone. Ok . So i think this is the way to go. No. We definitely are developing a robust Record Keeping system to incorporate the information that we are gathering but also for the individualized records for each household. Well have a snapshot in time and a common understanding of movein dates, residents in the household and so forth. Any other questions . Hearing none, next item, please. Item number 12, discussion of future agenda items by directors. Are there any . Hearing none, next time. Adjourn. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right. Well, first of all, good afternoon everybody, and in case everybody is wondering, today is not only valentines day, but ash wednesday, hence the marks on my for head. [ inaudible ] in sro here in San Francisco are available for every single resident. I am incredibly pround to be standing can supervisor ronen and supervisor sheehy. It is incredibly important for so many of our constituencies here in San Francisco, both in terms of gender, our Transgender Community, it affects so many people here in San Francisco. I think as we continue to see push back from our federal administration in washington d. C. , just this week, our department of education announced theyre no longer going to be investigating transgender student bathroom complaints, which is a step absolutely in the wrong direction, but in San Francisco, we are different. We are not going to allow hatred todom namt, we will continue to standup for our communities here in San Francisco. We will be a beacon of hope. I do want to thanks tha severa individuals for being here today, as i mechanicsed, these issues take a lot of leadership outside of city hall, and this one was led by two incredibly courageous supervisors, and so i want to introduce the first one, supervisor hillary ronen. Thank you so much for being here. Im very, very honored and excited to be here. I also want to extend a special thank you to jordan davis who brought this legislation to our office and said, when you were supervisor camposs chief of staff, you forgot sro hotels to include that specifically in this lemggislation, so it was pleasure to correct that mistake, which we would have put in the original legislation but accidently left it out. So thank you, jordan. I just want to say what weve learned about this legislation about making bathrooms all gender bathroom is when the traps gender stands up and fights for itself, for recognition, for dignity and safety, it ends up benefiting everybody. I dont know about you, but every time im out in public, and theres an all gender bathroom, that benefits me as a woman, it helps disabled individuals who might have an opposite gender caretaker. It just makes our society better, safer, and more welcoming to all of us. So i just think we should look to the Transgender Community fore guidance on all policies that we work on in San Francisco, because it always ends up benefiting not just the community but all of us. So my deep, deep thanks to everyone thats here today, to claire, to the mayor who made an unprecedented move of joining us onto the legislation before he even signed it because thats how much he supports this community. And to the only out member of the Queer Community on the board of supervisors, jeff sheehy, who always is the first to standup for and advocate for his community. Thank you. [applause] so first, i just really want to thank jordan davis. Ive been in your chair. Thats how i started. I hope im still considered an activist, but when someone can come to city hall this change, thats brilliant. Thank you for your leadership. I also want to thank mayor farrell for his supporting this and signing this and leadership along the way. I think this is really very important that sros are brought into the mix. You know, this is where many people live without a lot of resources, who are marginalized, and making sure that the dignity of our trans and gender nonconforming community is recognized, respected dignity of this community is recognized on all level in our society is absolutely critical. Im very proud to sponsor this, and i just want to make one other point, since mayor farrell brought up whats going on in washington. We need to, every time we come together, with one of the communities that have been particularly targeted by this administration, they have sought to target the most vulnerable communities in our mix immigrants, muslims, and the Trans Community because they think they can get away with it. So even though every time we come together, even though were making headway and were leading in San Francisco, we have to remember that around the country, peoples rights are being taken away, and in this city, immigrants rights are being threatened every day. We have to align ourselves with other communities in solidarity, that are particularly targeted in these times. So again, thank you to jordan, supervisor ronen, to mayor farrell. This is great work today. [applause]. Sorry. Claire. I was just supposed to introduce claire whos so great, really doing a tremendous job in filling the shoes and taking on off tereaf teresa sparks, so id like to introduce claire farley, whos Senior Assistant to the mayor. Good afternoon, everyone. Im so happy to be here with all of you today in this historic moment, and this would not be possible without you, mayor farrell, for your continued support of making sure that our city is committed to lgbt folks. Also, thank you to supervisor ronen for your incredible leadership on this, as well as your office, and specifically, also to supervisor sheehy, and all the cosponsors on this important legislation. I also want to take a moment to thank joerd on and the jordan and all the members on the sro task force. This victory really does belong to all of you, so thank you. [applause]. As trans and gender nonconforming people, we are all to familiar with the stress, the violence that comes with trying to use the bathroom that match our gender identity and expression. As our rights continue to be attack in the country and under the federal administration, it is important now more than ever that San Francisco continues to be a leader in the Movement Towards fair and quality rights for all. No one should have to worry about facing the stress of going to the bathroom in the place that they call home, so all gender sro ordinaryians will extend our existing protections and will ensure that our rights are extended to the full community. Furthermore, it will increase access for people with disabilities, residents who have caretakers. This resolution is important to make San Francisco better. Of course we know theres more time to be done, and together we will continue to advance the initiatives, the policies and programs that support a thriving trans and gnc community here in San Francisco. We will work to implement policies like this, future policies and programs that help sustain the livelihoods of our communities. Lets make sure that San Francisco continues to be the beacon of hope and change that the rest of the country desperately needs right now. Depend, thank y again, thank you so much for being here today and for this amazing step forward. I hope you will join us in the work ahead. Thank you. [applause]. All right. Were going to get to the signing here. All right. Here
