authorizing the director of the mayor's office of housing and community development to execute documents relating to loans for the acquisition, rehabilitation or permanent financing for four projects pursuant to the small site program, preservation and seismic safety program and downtown neighborhood preservation fund for a total loan amount not to exceed $87.5 million. >> thank you very much. i think today we have liliana lopez. >> hello. good morning, chair and supervisors. i am one of two project managers for the small sights program at the mayor's office of housing and community development. today the action i am requesting you to approve his first a resolution authorizing the director of mohcd to execute on loans providing permanent financing for four projects and one requesting when requesting downtown neighborhood preservation fund. and requesting preservation and seismic safety programs for past mortgage loan financing. the second request is confirmation of planning sequel determination and findings with respect to the projects regarding the general plan and planning code section 101.1. these loans are brought before you today because the loan terms are 40 years and thus require your approval. one thing i do want to point out is all the projects requesting funds today fall within programmatic and funding guidelines of the ssp program, with a total not to exceed the amount of $37 million, which is actually $51,000 less than what is written in the resolution you received. i am going to gloss over these because my colleague talked about these last month when we were here. i will focus on the projects. if you have questions, we can answer them at the end. so the four projects before you today, three of them are located in district nine and one is located in district three. among the four projects, the units total 100 residential and four commercial units. projects are in various stages of development from preconstruction, to post rehab and are expected to close between august and november of this year. the first one is 305 send carlos which is sponsored by mission economic development agency in district nine. it includes ten units plus two former garage spaces that have been converted into two a.d.u. units. two retail spaces were rehabbed and are now being released to community serving tenants, which include a music teacher and an artist or jewellery maker. the building is curtly occupied by households ranging from 11% and my two 71% a.m.i. the things are occupied by latino households, half being elderly and other half our family. 937 clay is sponsored by chinatown community development center and is in district three. this project will rehab and preserve 71 s.r.o. units while adding two new larger units and preserving one ground-floor retail space. prior to acquisition, the tenants were facing evictions and harassment threats. the crew -- the tenants are chinese-american individuals, families and seniors with incomes averaging 30% a.m.i. the next project is 3198 24th street on the corner of south van ness and 24th. it is sponsored by mission economic development agency, also in district nine. the project is fully occupied with eight residential units and incomes ranging between 13% a.m.i. and 100 and 5% a.m.i., with the overall average being 52%. the funding will preserve -- provide seismic and life safety upgrades and will enable five long-standing community businesses to be preserved. finally, we have 654, street, which upon completion will include seven residential units including five one-bedroom, one studio, and a three-bedroom unit the construction work remaining includes the conversion of a carriage house into a one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit. finally, i recommend your approval of the resolution so mohcd can provide the permanent financing to preserve these buildings as affordable for low to moderate income families for the generations to come. i'm happy to answer any questions and my colleague, caroline mccormick is here, as well as a representative. thank you so much. >> thank you. let's hear from the b.l.a., please. >> the board is being asked to approve loans totaling $37.5 million for the four small sights projects. there are three different types of amounts that are being requested in this legislation. we summarized them on page 15 of our report. 937 clay would receive funding from the downtown neighborhood preservation fund as well as the preservation seismic safety program. san carlos, on the 24th street project will receive funding from a small sights program as well as the preservation program in terms of the loan amount and the loan terms, they are all summarized in that table. the loan amount are for $33.6 million. this is less than $37.5 million as specified in the legislation. the difference has to do with a contingency encase project costs are higher than anticipated to allow them to go up to each loan program. we would you have a technical amendment to have the correct amount placed in the legislation we recommend approval as amended >> let's open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i understand that the b.l.a. gives as a recommendation to approve as amended, so can we take that amendment, please? i make a motion to approve that amendment. we can take that without objection, and then i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. thank you very much. madame clerk, please call item number 9. >> nine is a resolution authorizing the sheriff's department to enter into a third amendment to the existing contract between the commissary commissary network and the city for a jail commissary services to extend the term contract by six months beginning september 1 st for a total term of such ever first, 2014 through for butte 28th, 2020 with no change to the guaranteed annual minimum income of $590,000. >> thank you very much. i think we have kristin here from the sheriff's department. >> yes. >> i'm here today to request approval. the term extension of the current inmate commissary by six months from september 21st 2019 to ferrier 28th 2020. some program history. this is a revenue contract currently with keith commissary network. we have had it since september 2014. it and prides -- provides inmates the opportunity to purchase food, personal care items, stationary, on accounts that are funded by friends and family. currently the financial terms of this contract have keith pay 40 3% of net sales to the inmate welfare fund. the r.f.p. -- we do have an r.f.p. out now for a new contract that was initially posted in january of this year. it has similar financial terms, however, working with the treasurer's financial justice project as well as the mayor mayor's budget office, we were able to council that r.f.p. with those financial terms. we have introduced a new r.f.p. for which we actually already have bids, it eliminates payments to the inmate welfare fund. it reduces commissary accounts deposit fees and this ultimately reduces inmate cost for commissary. while we are here asking for a six-month extension, it is my hope that we will be implementing the new contract well prior to the line that is in the legislature. so the inmate welfare fund is established by the california penal code, which allows the sheriff to establish a fund for the county to be used for the benefit of education and welfare of inmates confined within jail. sources currently come from commissary commissions and inmate phone calls primarily. we are moving away from that. as you know on the inmate phone calls, we are reducing the cost of inmate phone calls now by 50% from the end of last fiscal year to the beginning of this fiscal year, and it is our intention to reduce that down to zero before this fiscal year is out. when we go into the new commissary contract, it will also take away the funding for this. then program -- the program and supplies are around violence prevention, sobriety, family connections, and let's see, one last slide. the minute -- the benefits of the new contract ends the commissary commissions. this will in turn result in savings for inmates. and then also there is a reduced cost of adding funds to inmate accounts. currently, if someone wants to put $20 on an inmate's account on the web, it is a 5-dollar cost that will come down to a dollar. although, primarily these days, during the sheriff's term, she was able to reduce the deposit at -- that cash deposit at the kiosk at the jail his 20, and that is really where primarily people make their deposits now. >> that is great. it looks as though we are moving in a positive direction to give some relief to the inmates or people who are incarcerated when they are using these services. is that correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> this is the bridge of money to finish off the rest of this contract. >> this is really -- because we issue the r.f.p. under similar financial terms, but then turned around, we understood through the budget will be able to fund this to the general fund. we pulled that r.f.p., and so we have -- so we have a new r.f.p. out there and we are just needing some more time to finish that process. there's a good chance that we could be done within three months to have the new contract. >> okay. that is great. there is no b.l.a. report on this. let's open this up for public comment. would any members of the public wish to comment on item number 9 seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, i would like to make a recommendation to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. and we take that without objection? thank you very much. >> thank you. >> madame clerk, please call item number 10. >> item ten is resolution approving and authorizing the real estate division two and acquire real property located at 1828 edward avenue for a purchase price of $67.3 million subject to future authorization of certificates of participation and placed with the real property under the jurisdiction of the real estate division for use of storing evidence and moving property from other locations. >> thank you very much. >> good morning. i would like to thank them for reviewing this project and we agree with their recommendations before you today, i am seeking a positive recommendation for a resolution authorizing the acquisition of real property at 1828 egbert avenue. i will briefly go through the project description, dual points , timeline, cost. we also have a few minor changes to the resolution which i will walk through and then next steps the property to be acquired is located at 1828 egbert avenue. it is a four-story building with a reinforced concrete frame. it is approximately 127,000 square feet in total. each floor has a floor plate of approximately 31,700 square feet there is also a 63,000 square foot parking lot adjacent to the end part of the sign. the building meets the highest seismic standards. it has a seismic importance rating of 1.5, and occupancy category rating of four. it is currently being used for self storage for approximately 900 customers. looking at the pictures that are on the screen before you, the first picture in the upper left, it is a little dark, but you can see the building which is on the left-hand side. it is an l-shaped building. the property to be acquired is in yellow hash marks. the parking lot area is in the upper portion of that picture, and also extends to the right. the property that is in the lower right-hand corner is an adjacent parcel and not part of this acquisition. the second picture on your right shows the front of the property to be acquired. as you will see, it is a very robust structure and has no windows. the lower left-hand picture shows the rear of the property. you can see the rear of the building and a portion of the parking lot, and the lower right-hand side, you can see the interior of the property and its vacant condition. you will note that the concrete columns are widely spaced and uniform, which allows for a very efficient use of the space. the deal terms, the purchase price is $67.3 million. this was subject to an appraisal under review appraisal. the negotiated price is consistent with the market value as part of the deal term, the seller has requested a leaseback the purpose of the leaseback is to allow the seller time to vacate the current self storage tenant. at this point, i wanted to make clear that the site is being used exclusively for storage of goods and self storage. there are no residents, there are no businesses that would be displaced by this acquisition. the initial leaseback term would be for six months, however, recently the seller requested an option for three additional months should that prove necessary to vacate all of the tenants. this recent request by the seller is agreed upon by real estate and we are asking that this be included as part of the amendment this morning. the rent for the lease will be $1,000 per month. i believe that this is an approximation of the fair market value of this lease in that the only purpose under the lease is to vacate existing tenant. the thousand dollars per month will be taken out of a holdback amount. the holdback amount is $5 million, which will be held in escrow. this will serve as liquidated damages should the seller fail to remove all of the self-serve tenants in the timeframe within either the six-month or nine-month, should an option be exercised. speaking briefly to the uses, this building will be used as city secure storage. the primary tenant will be the police department. the police department must vacate their storage facility at the hall of justice where evidence is currently located, as well as building 606 at the shipyard, which is where police property is currently located. the purchase of egbert provides the city a long-term assurance that evidence is orderly and well maintained and well documented. the egbert site meets the police 's needs in terms of space , infrastructure, security, and seismic strength. it also would decrease the loss or misplacement of items and ensures the integrity for trial. it also allows for retesting for those wrongly convicted on appeal. a timeline of relevant date, if approved by this committee today , we will be going before the board of supervisors on july 30th for their approval of the purchase and sale agreement. the purchase and sale agreement is contingent upon the issuance of c.o.p., certificates of participation, which will finance the acquisition. we anticipate september 2019 the introduction of c.o.p. in october 2019 and issuance of the approval of c.o.p. you can see here in the timeline , the issuance of december or january. we'll start the leaseback process upon vacancy of the tendencies. we would take occupancy, and this timeline, which would conclude in either july through october of 2020, would still allow us to meet our target dates for an ho jay exit. i did speak to a revision of the resolution. the resolution, direct -- i'm recommending the resolution be revised in three locations to do two things. one, to add a three month option to the lease term, and second, to incorporate the b.l.a.'s recommended amendment. those changes would occur on page 1212, line 22, page 3, line six, at page 4, lines nine and ten. i do have proposed language for the clerk if you are interested. that concludes my presentation. commander commander sullivan of the police department has a greed with capital planning. jamie from public finance and i are available to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you very much. let's hear from the b.l.a., please. >> the board of supervisors is being asked to approve the purchase of 1828 egbert street for a price of $67.3 million. this purchase price was confirmed by an appraisal and an appraisal review. the purchase -- this is for the police evidence and property unit. he described the property itself the purchase would be funded by certificates of participation. the board board would have to approve those. our understanding is that there would be legislation introduced for approval in september. table one on page 22 of the report summarizes the acquisition cost and the financing costs for their certificates of participation. the existing leases previously approved by the board of supervisors with the very same use for the police evidence unit the real estate department and public works made a determination that this was not actually appropriate at this time for use by the police evidence. it is a vacant site. the city is paying rent on it. and another use of the property has not yet been determined. the city is committed to a ten year lease so they can't exit the lease. we recommended that the resolution be amended for a report back from the director of real estate on the status of this property. my understanding is that amendment has been introduced and we recommend approval as amended. >> thank you very much. we say, so this is because a 77 brannan street, 777 brandon street that we have a ten year lease on still, and that we thought originally we would have to use this facility to store for this purpose, but these are being paid through the funding through all of this that is through certificates of participation. is that correct? , as stated in your report. >> the funding for 1828 egbert is. >> not for 777 brannan. so the project is being funded through cops. >> correct. >> thank you for that clarification. i see that you have an amendment there for us, for the director of real estate to report back in january of 2020 about the use of 777 brannan since we have a ten year lease on that. got it. are there any members of the public that they to comment on this item? i see one public speaker. >> i was just curious, it seems like this will be occurring rent during the six to nine month lease period. is there an estimate on the amount of money that they will be receiving over the six to nine months, and are you factoring that in the sales price at all? >> thank you very much. public comment is now closed. actually, i think the public speaker brings up a really good question. so if you wouldn't mind? >> chair fewer, real estate division. actually, they will not be getting revenue during that period in here is why. the seller has $5 million in holdback that is dependent upon them timely vacating the tendency. as soon as we close escrow, the seller will be giving notice to all other tenants to vacate. under the contract terms, the tenants have seven days to vacate, however, the seller will be giving them 30 days. once a notice of termination is given, no tenant will be paying any additional rent, however, the carrying cost for the property will continue, so the seller will be losing money until such time as they can fully vacate the property and get their 5 million-dollar holdback out of escrow. >> got it. also, this structure is so unusual looking, and quite frankly. >> if i may speak to that, you are absolutely right. i came into this structure with some reluctance, it was the only way to do the deal. the property is currently mortgaged. it has a 12 million-dollar mortgage on the property. the terms of that mortgage require a certain level of tenancy in order to maintain debt service. so the only way that the seller could structure this deal was to be able to close on escrow, payoff pay off the loan, and then be able to vacate the tenancy over the six month timeframe. in exchange for agreeing to this very unusual arrangement, we ask for a very high hope back amount that is $5 million. so even if just one tenants left is left at the end of that term, that $5 million belongs to the city. >> so this building was formerly used as a storage facility. is that correct? so the tenants aren't -- i mean they just have -- it is not businesses that are being operated, because it looks like they have no windows. >> that is correct. there are no businesses, there are no residents. the building was originally constructed as a data center, a server farm, if you will. that is why it has such a robust seismic structure and it has very robust switchgear inside. it was converted to self storage after the.com bust. >> okay. got it. that actually explains that there was an unusual design of the station. >> right. >> very odd. okay. we have heard from the b.l.a., we had public comment, the b.l.a. has recommendations, so let's approve the recommendation of the b.l.a. that the director of real estate returned to us in january of 2020 with a plan to use 777 brannan which is still a ten year lease. we can take that without objection. thank you very much. i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. >> chair fewer, one clarification, are there any additional amendments? >> i believe he had some additional changes, but i think they are nonsubstantive. is that correct, city attorney? thank you very much. we can accept the amendment and make a motion to accept the abundant -- amendment as amended by the director of real estate. we can take that without objection. thank you very much. we will move this to the full board as amended. thank you very much. madame clerk, to be have any other business before us today? >> no further business. >> thank you very much. the meeting is adjourned.

the tools they need to begin to resolve their homelessness. we have lots of programs and lots of educational and behavioral health supports that are here throughout the city. we are excited to be here with our partners to launch or to be a small part of the effort to address child trafficking. larkin street started years ago with huckleberry to fight youth trafficking. we know without intervention on the streets, children are at high risk for trafficking if we don't get to them soon. i think the most wonderful thing about this partnership is the prevention and the early intervention and the collaboration and us bringing together so many partners to work on this issue in a very profound way. we're excited to be here and excited to be a small part of it. and i am always honored and delighted to get to introduce our -- our mayor. mayor breed has been in office for just about a year now, right -- tomorrow? wow. [applause] >> she has been an active supporter of homelessness, of youth homelessness, of diamond youth shelter, which is one of the -- our part in this project, and so much more in the city to support young people to help all -- to help so many of us -- so many residents in san francisco thrive, and i am deeply honored to introduce you this morning, so welcome. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you. i am excited to be here. thank you, cheryl lynn, and thank you to larkin street for all the work that you continue to do to support young people in san francisco and huckaberry, i'm excited to have this organization as well as other organizations for partnering what we are announcing today, which is a $9.3 million grant from the department of social services for the state of california, which is absolutely incredible. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: this was a very competitive grant, and it was awarded to ten partnering organizations who helped to deal with the challenges that we know sadly so many of our young people face around sexual exploitation. in fact, in 2017 in san francisco, we had over 300 reported cases from young people of sexual exploitation. and in most cases, they were women of color and women from our lgbtq community. we know that just last year, cheryl lynn and the folks from larkin street, we announced the rising up campaign where we are determined and committed to end youth homelessness in san francisco, investing millions of dollars in providing the kinds of support and wraparound services that young people in order to get their lives on track. we know that all young people may not have that safety net, may not have that support. i did not have that support in my family. in fact, i was so lucky that i had a grandmother that took in my brothers and me and raised us. my grandmother was very strict, very focused, she determined to make sure she did everything she could to protect us. when young people don't have that safety net, when they don't have that support, when they don't have that protection, sadly, that's when they turn to predators and do things that they never thought they'd do. and this $9.3 million grant allows us to provide services and housing, and to track and find out what we can do better to keep this from happening in the first place. so i'm excite todd to see how is going to change the lives of so money youany young people i city. we are well on our way to addressing so many challenges that we know we face one at a time. it takes dedicated partners, it takes dedicated public servants, it takes dedicated people from the public community who care about addressing these issues, and so i want to thank each and every one of you for being here today. this is an amazing, amazing grant, and i am looking forward to the implementation and changes that i know are going to come forward as a result of this funding. thank you so much. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and with that, i'd like to introduce the director for the commission on the status of women, emily murase. [applaus [applause] >> commissioner murase: thank you so much, mayor. i wanted to recognize the mayor for empowerment of youth and her focused commitment to housing individuals who are homeless. as you know, commercially sexually exploited children are mostly homeless. it's really one of the root causes of this problem, and now, it's my great pleasure to introduce the executive director and founder of freedom forward, alia whitney johnson and doug styles, my second grade classmate and director of huckleberry youth program. please give them a warm welcome. [applause] >> good morning. thank you, cheryl lynn for hosting us this morning, and thank you, mayor breed and commissioner murase for the work that you do on behalf of young people in our community. i realize that commercial sexual exploitation is a story of failures. times that we have failed to meet young people's needs, and these young people have taken their needs into their own hands. times to fail to respond with compassion when they needed us has added to their story. but within this story is a story of incredible youth brilliances, a story of navigating the system, a hustle that is purposely resourceful, resilient. knowledge that is absolutely critical if we want to build a vibrant, healthy system that works for all. these are the voices that we are centering in this continuum. they deserve choices, and they deserve a system that works for them and a voice in what that system should be. by ensuring young people are a part of our design process, and that we build in feedback loops to honor their input, we believe we will build a more effective system of care for all. so what is this collaborative that we're building and here today to announce? through this grant, we're bringing together 11 community partners to develop a continuum of services that we hope will meet youth where they are, recognizing that meaningful change is rarely linear and needs to meet youth when they are ready. this continuum includes five major components as well as a protocol for navigating those components and a rigorous evaluation. we hope to openly share our successes learned, and if effective, to replicate what works across the state. the five components of this continuum include first, a drop-in center where youth will be able to access services under one roof whether or not they identify as being exploited or currently being housed in the continuum. second, a launch pad shelter for youth transitioning from life on the streets or unsafe living situations. third, a short-term residential treatment program. fourth, a new model of family-based foster care right here in their community with wraparound support. and finally, 24-7 response and emergency services. family first will be leading the foster and family services. we a our role will be to facilitate and coordinate services from across our community, bringing the best our community has to offer, remaining accountable to what youth want. in early 2020, we also aim to launch our family-based foster care pilot. as many of you in this room now, problems in foster care often lead teams to being moved around -- teens to being moved around, isolated, surrounded by only professionals, far from loved ones and the people who they care most about. all of this instability and lock of connection makes an environment that's ripe for exploitation. we plan to pilot a new model of foster care that will provide stable family homes right here in their community and will wrap youth and families with both the professional support that they need as well as a real emphasis on the relationship with family and friends that youth want in their lives. this pilot will engage a great team of providers in what they do best, including family builders, west coast children's clinic, huckleberry youth programs, and this pilot will also include additional caregivers, who provide what grandmas do, like what mayor breed talked about, so often, aunties and grandmas show up to support our youth. as i step back and think about building a community where every young person can experience all that it means to be free, i want to end today with a quote from a young person who grew up right here in san francisco and was interviewed by our friends at the elements freedom center. she said, freedom is when we reach back and pull the next sibling with us because we see your brilliance, and we know that you will shine when surrounded by real love. let us pull each other with us, and let us all move forward with love as we move forward. thank you very much, and it is my pleasure to introduce doug styles, the executive director of huckleberry youth program [applause] >> thank you, alia. thank you, mayor breed. thank you, my classmate, emily. thank you to larkin for hosting this fabulous event. it's an incredible group of people for this collaboration that's been brought together. what we need to start with is that trafficking, sexual exploitation happens here in san francisco. these are our children. it is a systems issue, not an individual issue. no one chooses to be exploited. trafficking and exploitation inhibit the entire community from thriving. that's why we've all come together to change the trajectory of lives of young people affected by trafficking and exploitation and to prevent others from becoming more deeply involved. in 1967, huckleberry youth programs established the first youth shelter for run aways in the country, addressing reasons why people found themselves on the streets of san francisco. unfortunately, our 52 years of experience, we have seen too many young people commercially sexually exploited and too many young people at risk of human trafficking. but every day, we also experience the resiliency of young people. this project is an attempt to bring together various experts from various fields to provide the needed supports for young people to heal and to provide the chance and the necessary tools to reduce the risk of further exploitation. as one of the partners in this project, huckleberry youth programs will provide case manager and mental health support to divert young people to a safe and healthier life. our experience, working with adolescents in challenging situations, whether it's mental health counseling, juvenile court diversion, we know that young people thrive when they direct their own future. our process is to listen to each youth, hear their hopes and dreams, regardless of their current situation, to traem thtraem -- treat them as human beings and become a catalyst for changes. huckleberry youth services will be part of the crisis team to provide services to young people when are they need it the most. we'll be able to work with young people to maintain their current living situation, and for those with less permanent housing, a placement coordinator will help determine a safe living environment for their future. we will provide residential counseling staff. finally, if emergency shelter is needed, huckleberry house will provide temporary safe home environment. as a native san franciscan myself, raising my daughters in this city, i am very proud to see this collaboration come together and very excited to work with this incredible group of people. i look forward to a future where we no longer need these services or these programs. when all of our children are safe, healthy, treated justly, and are well educated. but we have a lot of work to get there. by working together with the support
