Clerk the regular agenda 5b, authorizing the executive director to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the city and county of San Franciscos treasure and Tax Collectors Office to perform Investment Funds held by trustee not to exceed 35,000 for fiscal year 20202021. And in an amount for future years subject to appropriation. Discussion and action resolution number 132020. Madam director. Thank you, madam secretary, and to the chair, this item before you is also a routine item where this is a first time to bring an item like this in front of you, the m. O. U. In partnership with the treasury and Tax Collectors Office. And the treasurer and Tax Collectors Office is the citys banker and we typically hold funds within the Treasurers Office as well as by the trustee. And the Treasurers Office is responsible for investment of all funds in the citys pool. We actually have bob shaw, the chief Investment Officer, on the line and available for questions if you have any. And because weve held the funds, we also hold our funds with o. C. I. s instructions for within that fund. The Treasurers Office has done an amazing job with the funds on hand in the pool that would like to actually invest not just the funds within the pool funds but also funds held by the trustee. So what you have before you is a Year Contract and to see this ongoing up to 35,000 full Investment Management services, plus with indiscernible . And also on the line as well is my Deputy Director of finance and administration with respect to questions. And so is bob shaw, the chief Investment Officer for the city and county of San Francisco. And we really appreciate their service as well. Good afternoon, commissioners, i am the Deputy Director for finance and administration. And the executive director said that were here today to talk about an m. O. U. With the treasurer Tax Collectors Office and as the executive director mentioned we hold our funds in two places. Some are the less restricted taxes are held with the city pool and they are invested with the treasurer and the treasurer has done a fantastic job with those funds. We earned in the fiscal year 201920, we earned multiple Million Dollars of investment earnings to now spend on projects. Wed like to apply that same success to the funds that are held in trustee, funds that are held in trustee are generally more legally restricted funds such as bond proceeds or pledged property tax. And we would like the treasurer to invest for us as well. And i should mention that we do have an existing m. O. U. With the treasurer that the commissioner approved in 2014 and its under that authority that the treasurer invests the funds in the pool. So what were here today to talk about is an additional m. O. U. That would extend the same Investment Authority with our funds with trustee. You may recall that in 2014, the Commission Also approved an Investment Strategy and the Investment Strategy is a guidance that the treasurer would use when investing our funds. And our Investment Strategy prioritizes safety first and then liquidity and then returns. So what that means is that the number one thing that we care about is preservation and capital followed by liquidity which means will the funding be available for use when we want to use them. And then only once we have met those two goals do we think about gaining returns. And so the treasurer will ask under our existing policy that was approved by the commission in 2014 and theyll also act in the permission for each of the blond documents. And as said, the expenditure for 20202021 is 35,000 and thats based on actual cost extended on an estimated blended rate per hour. And thats taking all of the rates for the projects as well as any nonlabor costs for systems, etc. , and blend it into a blended rate of indiscernible . And the term of the m. O. U. Would be ongoing which means that they would be automatically renewed each year and we would work out the costs of m. O. U. On an ongoing basis each year as part of the budget process. Specifically the services that is provide side that ocii will provide the cash flow schedule to t. S. S. To know when we thank we need to draw on their funds. They will do the modeling to make sure that the cash is available when we need it. They will recommend and then actually to direct the trustee to make the transactions and to do the settlement and then theyll also make all of the accounting entries to record all of the security transactions. And theyll also be doing credit analysis, looking at the creditworthiness of all of the investments. And making sure that the proposed investments pass muster with the committee. And as the executive director said, i have bob shaw here who is the chief Investment Officer from the treasurer Tax Collectors Office. Bob, you want to video on and give a wave. Hi, everybody. I am here to answer any questions that you might have. I think that nadia and bree have done an excellent job on describe wag we plan to do. But im here to address any questions that i mighquestion y. Chair bustos before we go to Public Comment theres someone who is near a window or is outside, if you could please put yourself on mute, that would be helpful. Great, thank you. Madam secretary, do we have anyone from the public who wishes to speak on this item . Clerk at this time members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment on these items should call on this item should call 1 888 5578511. Enter access code 7500645. Followed by the pound sign. And then pound sign again. When prompted, please press 1, and then 0 to be placed in the queue. An automated voice will let you know when its your turn to withdraw your question press 1, and then 0. For any members of the public who were on the phone before this session came up and if you would like to submit your Public Comment request dial 1, and 0, so you can be placed in the queue. Your conference is now in questionandanswer mode. To summon each question press 1 and then 0. Miss lynn, do we have any callers on the line . Madam secretary, there are no callers on the line. Clerk thank you. Mr. Chair, there are no members of the public on the phone that the time wishing to comment on this item. Chair bustos okay. Just wait a little bit more to see if anyone wants to speak. Hearing that theres no one wishing to speak on this item, i will close Public Comment and ill turn to my fellow commissioners for their comments and questions. And lets start with commissioner brackett. Commissioner, do you have any qhents or a question . Commissioner brackett yes, i have three questions. So my first question is do we know what the aggregate amount of benefits that we received from the 1. 9 return that we got on the investment . So what that actually means in dollars . As a percentage. I can speak to that, and it was about 6 million this past year. Commissioner brackett okay. And then my other question, was there a previous cost for managing these expenditure funds . If so, what were those costs . This is the first time that were entering into a relationship to actively manage these funds. Commissioner brackett so theyve just been sitting and holding . Yeah, theyve been held by the trustee up to this point. Commissioner brackett okay. And my last question is basically what are the proposed earnings for this fund or is there any kind of projection on what the return on investment would be for managing these funds through t. T. S. . Well, you know, i think that the treasurer plans to use a similar strategy, so the strategy that they use for the overall city pool, so i think that you could roughly expect the returns to be similar. But ill let bob speak to that to provide a little bit more color. Thanks, bree. I think that the way to think about the theres really two questions which is, one is always whats the Interest Rate that were going to get . And then what are the cash earnings . The environment has changed dramatically over the last year, if you look where the Interest Rates are right now and what we would be able to get in the market, that 1. 9 that you saw over the past 12 months and Going Forward is not attainable in the market. Were probably somewhere depending upon one of the things that we havent completely reviewed yet is what that cash flow calendar for these bond fund says going to look like. In other words, how far out how long of a maturity can we invest. And if its outwards of one to two years, then were probably talking sorry just about to go into jargon talking about half a percentage point in terms of yield as opposed to 1. 9 . A lot of what has happened in the market in the last six to nine months as the Federal Reserve has taken Interest Rates from close to 1. 5 to 2 , to closer to 0 right now for the u. S. Treasuries. So my estimation of where the yield on the pool funds that were looking at here is between 50 and 75 basis points. Thats my upper end estimate, but, again, once we get the cash flow calendars, well know more. Commissioner brackett and then lastly, about how much of our or what is the aggregate total of the amount of funds that were talking about . It is about 350 million. Commissioner brackett okay, thank you. Thats all. Chair bustos great, thank you. Commissioner scott, do you have any comments or questions . Commissioner ransomscott no questions. Just the comment to thank bree and bob and for your questions you have really satisfied i have no other questions. But thank you for the report. Chair bustos thank you, commissioner scott. Is commissioner rosales on the line . Has she joined us yet . All right. Just want to echo commissioner scott and just thank the staff for providing this presentation. I think that its a good step in the right direction. And im glad that we have our city family helping us to manage these funds. So with that, i will need a motion and a second. Is there a motion . Yes, i motion that we authorize the executive director to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the city and county of San Francisco treasurer and Tax Collectors Office to perform Investment Services for ocii funds held by trustee in an amount not to exceed 35,000 through fiscal year 2021 and amounts for future years, subject to appropriation resolution number 132020. Thank you. Chair bustos thank you, commissioner brackett. Second that motion. Chair bustos thank you for seconding it, commissioner scott. Madam secretary, please take roll. Clerk please announce your vote when i call your name. Commissioner brackett. Commissioner brackett . Yes. Commissioner scott . Yes. Vice chair rosales is absent. Chair bustos. Yes. Mr. Chair, the vote is three ayes and one absent. Chair bustos great, thank you. Motion carried. Madam secretary, please call the next item. Clerk agenda item 5e and 5f related to the budget approval will be presented together but acted on separately. Item 5e approving a budget for the period july 1, 2020, through june 30, 2021, and authorizing the executive director to submit the budget and ratifying and confirming the executive directors submittal of the interim budget to the Mayors Office and the board of supervisors. Discussion and action resolution 42020 approving a budget for Community Facilities districts administered by the Successor Agency for the period july 1, 2020, through june 30, 2021. Discussion and action, resolution number 152020. Madam director. Thank you, madam secretary. I appreciate, through the chair, i appreciate that we have an opportunity to come back to you. If you recall last Commission Meeting we were before you to give an overview of our budget. And we got some feedback where the budget that would be presented before you doesnt have much changes so this is really a recap. But i wanted to also take the opportunity to just kind of highlight what our driving force is in terms of creating new inclusive neighborhoods and shipyard indiscernible and that the budget before you reflects an acceleration of the production of new housing which includes both market rate and Affordable Housing. It requires the investment in disadvantaged and atrisk communities. So funding for lowincome families and Public Housing and seniors, homeless, including then creating not just lowincome family, but low budget services. And creating new Public Infrastructure and open space and prioritizing the connectivity and the ability for resilience and showing that we are building design, neighborhoods, Transportation Networks and environmentalally conscious infrastructure. And also includes the recognizing of the opportunities for local businesses and workers. We continue to strive for the participation of low workers and businesses in all of our projects. We use lowcost Public Financing to identify the longterm financing for Affordable Housing, infrastructure and open space projects. And we also have a majority of our portfolio that include investments in the value of our employees, making sure that we support employees health and safety and wellness and professional development. So with that, i will turn it over to mina to present on the budget. Bree, myself and all of the project managers are available to respond to specific questions. So thank you for that. Nina, are you ready to present on this item . Yes. Thank you, director. Good afternoon chair bustos and vicechair rosales and members of the commission. I am the Financial Reporting and management analyst for ocii. And im here to present on our budget action items. Next slide. And so again there are two action items before you today. The first is to approve the Agency Budget for the fiscal year 2021 and the interim budget which is a prorated amount based off of the budget to cover the period of the end of fiscal year 2019 life 2020 to the approval of the budget. And the second the approval of the facility budget. Next slide. So we were before you two weeks ago presenting the workshop on our budget items. And as the director mentioned theres no substantive changes and so this reflects the budget presented at the workshop. Next slide. And so our 2021 budget is 527. 3 million. And the primary sources are a prior period authority, property taxes, and fund balance. Next slide. And so this table shows our budget broken up by our uses which are project managers went over in detail at the workshop presentation. Again, the majority of our funds will go towards the construction of infrastructure and Affordable Housing projects. Next slide. And so this table shows a yearoveryear comparison by our sources for the 2019 budget. Our 2021 budget is a 5. 9 million increase. And this is primarily driven by an increase in the property Tax Collections and drawing upon our fund balance, issued bond proceeds and property taxes collected in prior years. This is slightly offset by our bond issuances and our existing housing loans. Next slide. So this table shows our a comparison, a yearoveryear comparison by uses. You can see that the majority of the decrease is the increase is due to the mission bay developer reimbursement and with our multiyear construction budget. Next slide. So this table shows the impact of our 2021 budget on our estimated cash on hand. So we expect to draw upon 274. 9 million through the use of our fund balance and prior period authority. So this will result in our cash on hand balance of 334. 5 million at the end of fiscal year 2021. Next slide. And so this is just a summary of our budget by our project area. And our Affordable Housing costs are incorporated into our three major project areas. And then our nonproject costs primarily reflect the debt service or the debt portfolio costs. Next slide. The summary of our agencys budget, again the total is 527. 3 million which is an increase of 5. 9 million or a 1. 1 increase from the 20192020 budget and our estimated cash on hand will be about 334. 5 million at the end of fiscal year 2021. And then we went into detail on our operating budget at the workshop and this was this is 26 million or 3. 9 of our total Agency Budget. And we have positions unchanged from the current year. We will also be making six new Affordable Housing loans for Construction Loans and for predevelopment loans. We also issue one new bond for the infrastructure reimbursements. Next slide. So you will also be taking action on our budget and so we administer seven c. F. D. S or Community Authority districts and these are special taxing districts approved by the voters in the district, and the taxes collected in these are used to operate and maintain and repair the parks. These are separate entities from ocii and their budget is not separate from the board approval but the commission does act as a legislative body. So these are estimates. And in august we will confirm these amounts with the confirmation of the special factors. Next slide. So, again, we have seven c. F. B. S which we estimate a tax levy of 18 million. Weve issued bonds in three of these for infrastructure reimbursements. Well be paying 11. 4 million for debt service on those three bonds and theres about 176. 2 million outstanding on these bonds. Next slide. And so again the two action items before you the first is approving a budget for the period july 1, 2020, through june 30, 2021. And authorizing the executive director to submit the budget and ratify and confirm the executive directors interim budget to the Mayors Office and the board of supervisors. Youll also be approving a budget for Community Facility district and administered by the agency a period of july 1st through june indiscernible 2021. Next slide. So were here today presenting the action item before you today. Well be submitting these budgets to the mayors Budget Office by july 1 and then the board of supervisors by august 1st. And as the director mentioned we have all of our project managers who are before you a couple weeks ago, along with our Deputy Director of finance to take any further questions. Thank you. Chair bustos great, thank you. Madam secretary, do we have anybody anyone from the public who wishes to speak or provide a commenta on this item .

Mr. Chair, at this time there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to comment on this item. Chair bustos okay. Hearing no requests to speak on this item, i will close Public Comment. Madam secretary, please call the next item. Clerk the next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. Mr. Chair . Chair bustos there is no report at this time. Clerk the next order of business is item 8, the report of the executive director. Item 8a, info memo on the issuance of a request for proposals to develop, own and operate an Affordable Housing mixeduse project, which will include approximately 250 units of Affordable Housing for lowincome families and seniors, and formerly homeless families and seniors, a child care facility, neighborhood retail, and streetscape improvements on transbay blocks 2 east and 2 west, transbay redevelopment project area. Madam director . Thank you, madam secretary. What you have before you is a proposal or offering a parcel for Affordable Housing development in the project area. The proposed affordable rental housing and retail mixeduse buildings will provide one, two and threebedroom units for families and studio and onebedroom units for seniors. Approximately 20 of the both family and senior units and sorry, family and senior members will be set aside for formerly homeless individuals. The project will also include a child care facility, retail space and publicly accessible streetscaping improvements. The r. S. P. Is currently allowing for it to be consistent with the Redevelopment Fund and the design for development documents. The project will further the ociis goals in increasing housing and reducing homelessness in San Francisco. And in addition, it would also invite folks to consider the possibility that the site could be rezoned to increase the height and portions of the parcel and to provide for them to provide a narrative describing the instances and the number of units, and the disability analysis and the Construction Costs and other issues associated with the rezoning. If the commission has an objection to these, they will release the r. S. P. In june and will allow for proposals to be heard in september, understanding that we because of covidrelated issues were allowing for that extended period of time. Staff will then come to the commission by the end of the year for a selection, a developer selection and in february would come back for the commission to approve the agreement and predevelopment loan agreement. Which is consistent with the budget that you would have approved by the end of this meeting today. I have i know that we were fortunate enough to get comments and feedback from two of our commissioners that are reflected. And as usual we have an extensive marketing outreach process. We have tim here to respond to any specific questions that the commission would have. With that ill pause and ill wait to see if theres any questions from this item. I do have to two other announcements that i would like to make or see if the commission would have questions on this item. Chair bustos are there questions from my fellow commissioners . We need to call Public Comment, commissioner. Madam secretary, are there any speaker cards on this item . Clerk at this time the members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment should call 1 888 5578511. And enter access code 7500645. Followed by the pound sign. And then pound sign again. When prompted please press 1 and 0 to be placed in the queue. An automated voice will let you know when its your turn and to withdraw questions press 1, and then 0 again. Your conference is now in questionandanswer mode, and to summon each question press 1 and then 0. Chair bustos madam secretary, is anyone on the line . Clerk there are no callers on the line. Chair bustos okay. So hearing no one to speak on this item i close Public Comment. And i will open it up for any commissioner who would like to ask any questions or make comments on this item. And this is a discussion item so were not taking any action. I had a question for i believe nadia. I know that theres a mention of increasing height limitations to allow for additional housing and i just wanted to get some clarity around that on what is the existing height limitations and how high up future developer or the r. F. P. Person group that we selected would be able to go up. Or what would be an estimated number of units that could be added to this project to make it affordable and to get the maximum number of residents in that space. Im going to send this over to kim because shes anxious to respond to this. [laughter] we had a meeting last week. And so it was definitely an area of excitement. So, kim thank you very much. Glad to be here. So the existing height limits that are imposed by the transbay and the zoning document for transbay, actually has a staggered height. So along clementina street theres a down townhome segmentt has a maximum of 55 feet. And then it steps up for portions of the site to 85 feet. And at the highest portion of the street along fulsome street and the eastern portion of the project, the height limit is currently at 165 feet. And, yeah, again, just revisiting those height maximums we think that theres a potential to consider a limited amount of increased height on the site. Definitely it would help to improve the projects financial feasibility. Certainly, add muchneeded housing units. But theres definitely considerations there. And the r. F. P. We have given guidance of no more than 240 feet. We think that for a constructability purposes theres parameters in the Building Code where we think that its unlikely to be feasible to build above that height. And we started to look at shadow impacts to the future sites to the north and we wanted to make sure that were not shading that park in a way that wouldnt be acceptable to the community. Chair bustos any other commissioners . I have one other question. Is the r. F. P. Going out for mainly the local providers, or is it a National Search . So we will advertise it locally primarily. But certainly open to a National Search. We do have theres a subscription list and we have our own list through f. P. E. S and organizations that have registered with our contact compliance team, to pest it on the ocii website and, yeah, get out the word as much as possible. Okay, thank you, that was it. Chair bustos great. Any other commissioners wishing to ask any questions or a comment . Yes. Mr. Chair, i have a question. Just thinking looking at the impact now of covid upon just the whole nation, our state here, specifically our city, specifically, is there any consideration of what retail owners would have to pay now as opposed to what, you know, it has been set or any of them. Is there a lowering or adjusting to the climate of where we are right now . Yeah, i think that is a good question. We so we dont have a prescriptive breakdown and we instructed applicants to consider a wide range of income levels. I think that theyll really want to tailor that based on what theyre seeing in the marketplace about what about the income levels on the Current Properties and perhaps we want to skew a little bit low or this property to allow for changes or anticipated changes in the median income. And what folks are able to afford. So, again, well see what proposers come back with and then we wont have to really lock in those income levels for another year now until we start to really looking at funding applications. And then on the retail side, certainly, theres going to some work done looking at Market Studies and feasibility and then going to adjust their rent accordingly to make sure that theyre attracting tenants. Thank you so much. Chair bustos thank you. Commissioner rosales . Vicechair rosales yes, i do. I have a question on the workforce and contracting action plan criteria and how proposers satisfy it and what i want to focus on is my understanding is that the teams can satisfy those requirements and seek to obtain this maximum of 10 points. And with the use of the internal staff rather than to contract out with the consultant. And i would like confirmation of that and i think that is the way that we have been managing it and assuming that is correct, what are the kinds of internal structures or services that weve seen from other proposers in trying to comply with this criterion through their internal staff . Go ahead, ray. Yes, this is for ocii. There is a workforce in contracting action plan that is called out by that is required by the Developer Team. What we ask is that they identify an individual that would be responsible for implementing the plan. And that individual could be either an inhouse staff member or it could be a contracted individual as well. What weve seen is that some do hire an outside individual to help the Development Team to implement the contracting workforce plan. And under that basis we look at what is being prescribed by the Development Team in terms of how they plan on executing the reaching s. P. E. Goals and working on workforce goals and other matters related to that. If its an inhouse individual, quite honestly, what weve seen in the past several proposals are contracted individuals or consultants to assist the Development Team. There is a single point of individual within the Development Team internal that theyve identified that is responsible for the plan. But weve seen that much of the implementation has been contracted out. I hope that answers yes, it does, it does. And as im looking more carefully on page 24 i do notice that its both inhouse or outside outside consultant. But its good to know that theres collaboration between the inhouse and the outside consultants to the extent that there is an individual selected on the outside. But that helps the inner workings of the Developer Team that likely will have good results, not just for this project, but for their future projects. Correct. We, again, we have seen many of the Developers Hire an outside consultant assistant because they could use the additional assistance in the contacts that the consultant does have with the community. Great, thank you. Chair bustos thank you, vicechair rosales. I thank all three commissioners for the questions they posed were very good questions. I want to thank the staff for making sure that we do our best to make sure that local folks as much as we can know about this opportunity. So this is the discussion item so there is no action, but i want to just commend the staff for putting this together. Its going to be a really great project. Its going to help a lot of families and its something that we love as a commission. I know that. So thank you so much. Madam secretary, please call the next item,. Clerk i believe that madam director still had a couple items. I do. I wanted to say that we were fortunate to do the first two which will be meetings, one with transbay that kind of blessed this item that you just heard and one with mission bay. We have the first one with with next week. So were all excited. Its been interesting, and im happy that theres an opportunity for more members to participate because of that flexibility. So were looking forward to it so we have been in touch with them and trying to set them up. And in addition, i also wanted to share with you that the bayview industrial triangle expires at the end of the month. And the development plan. Its also known as the b. I. T. , located between third street and Fourth Street from gerald avenue to fairfax avenue in the bayview hunters point. It was adopted in 1980 with the objective of preserving and expanding the existing industries. And improving the third street to provide attractive buffer between the Community Residential and industrial uses. It was set up by the Redevelopment Agency in the 1980s with grants through the Community Development programs that were cut by the federal government. But with a limited funding the key plan remained inactive for much of its life. And ocii maintained a landuse authority over the property in the b. I. T. And approved relatively few entitlements for private development in the area. We have the landuse authority through the end the month as of july 1, the Planning Commission will resume that oversight of Land Development in the area. Supervisor walton cosponsored the item. And it will applies to the commercial transit and the land use on properties fronting third street and the production and distribution and repair zoning on subsidies within the Industrial Areas between third and Fourth Street. So while were closing out the b. I. T. Over the last three years, its been very active. The commission has approved three mixeduse housing projects that are currently in predevelopment at 4101, 4128 and 4200 third street. And these projects will provide 125 new housing units, 23 of which are Affordable Housing and active for retail on the portions of the third street in the bayview hunters point. So i know that jose is also on the line and can respond to specific questions. But this is one where there wasnt any Public Financing but we had more Zoning Authority and we became very active in the last three years. And then Going Forward the Planning Commission will be responsible for it. We are i wanted to also just give a quick heads up that the apartments at 1153 within mission bay is nearly all occupied, all but two of the 119 total units. There are 62 veteran units, and then there were and then then there were other the remainder was for family units consisting of one, two, threebedroom units. Were kind of excited. It was all occupied in may 2020. A lobby for the family as usual and we had 6,700 applicants and the population includes a combination of one for indiscernible and one for dpht, and then one for neighborhood indiscernible and for the 33 for applicants and two units to remain the construction site in december 2017 and completed in january 2020. And the developer was indiscernible and we expect to bring back to this commission a marketing out report. So were excited that at least that unit came online. And we were looking at covid and the shelterinplace had a thought of long time occupying. And so we have jeff white also available to respond. And pam to respond to specific questions. But more to come in the october meeting where well be doing a full report out. So thats it for me. Chair bustos thank you, madam director. Any questions regarding those two items . I did have a question. If pam would be able to once they give us the report next month, if she could give us a breakdown of the demographics in terms of the racial demographics of who actually is going to be occupying or who leased out for these spaces. please stand by items . Chair bustos hering none, vice chair rosales, anything . Commissioner no. Chair bustos anything else. Commissioner thank you for your wonderful presentations. Chair bustos i dont want this meeting to end without us acknowledging what has been happening in this country around race. You know, the issues of race is not just california or a United States thing. Its been something thats been brewing across the world, the issue of color and how one color matters more than the other. And given everything thats been happening with our Black Brothers and sisters, i think its really important for us to acknowledge that and for us as an organization as a city family doing a lot of the work to repair some of the systemic racism that happened during the earlier part of the Redevelopment Agency with the races thank god we have a staff. We have a different mind set and were having to undo the wrongs that happen during those days. And i think we need to take a stand that black lives matter. And black lives are also sacred. And its not that were saying others arent but i think right now theres a community thats under attack and as a city family we have to stand up to that. It hurts that here we are in 2020 having to deal with this but remember theres over 400 years of systematic oppression against this community that we need to fix. We need to undo, we need to acknowledge. So i would ask my commissioners, if we can, if theres no objection that we adjourn this meeting in memory of not only mr. Floyd and Breonna Taylor but those in San Francisco that have been targeted, that have died, that have been hurt because of the racism that is alive and well still even in our own city of st. Francis. I think we have to make a stand. Without objection ill ask we adjourn this meeting in honor of all those incredible people that have suffered. Hearing no objection from my commissioners, then we will adjourn in their memory and their honor. Thank you. Commissioner [indiscernible] chair bustos what was that . Tenderloin is unique neighborhood where geographically place in downtown San Francisco and on every Street Corner have liquor store in the corner it stores pretty much every single block has a liquor store but there are impoverishes Grocery Stores im the cocoordinated of the Healthy Corner store collaboration close to 35 hundred residents 4 thousand are children the medium is about 23,000 a year so a low Income Neighborhood many new immigrants and many people on fixed incomes residents have it travel outside of their neighborhood to assess fruits and vegetables it can be come senator for seniors and hard to travel get on a bus to get an apple or a pear or like tomatoes to fit into their meals my my name is ryan the cocoordinate for the tenderloin healthy store he coalition we work in the neighborhood trying to support Small Businesses and improving access to healthy produce in the tenderloin that is one of the most neighborhoods that didnt have access to a full Service Grocery store and we california together out of the meeting held in 2012 through the Major Development center the survey with the corners stores many stores do have access and some are bad quality and an overwhelming support from Community Members wanting to utilities the service spas we decided to work with the Small Businesses as their role within the community and bringing more Fresh Produce produce cerebrothe neighborhood their compassionate about creating a healthy environment when we get into the work they rise up to leadership. The Different Stores and assessment and trying to get them to understand the value of having Healthy Foods at a reasonable price you can offer people fruits and vegetables and healthy produce they cant afford it not going to be able to allow it so thats why i want to get involved and we just make sure that there are alternatives to people can come into a store and not just see cookies and candies and potting chips and that kind of thing hi, im cindy the director of the a preif you believe program it is so important about Healthy Retail in the low Income Community is how it brings that health and hope to the communities i worked in the tenderloin for 20 years the difference you walk out the door and there is a bright new list of fresh fruits and vegetables some place you know is safe and welcoming it makes. Huge difference to the whole environment of the community what so important about retail environments in those neighborhoods it that sense of dignity and Community Safe way. This is why it is important for the neighborhood we have families that needs healthy have a lot of families that live up here most of them fruits and vegetables so thats good as far been doing good. Now that i had this this is really great for me, i, go and get fresh fruits and vegetables it is healthy being a diabetic youre not supposed to get carbons but getting extra food a all carbons not eating a lot of vegetables was bringing up my whether or not pressure once i got on the program everybody o everything i lost weight and my Blood Pressure came down helped in so many different ways the most important piece to me when we start seeing the Business Owners engagement and their participation in the program but how proud to speak that is the most moving piece of this program yes economic and social benefits and so forth but the personal pride Business Owners talk about in the program is interesting and regarding starting to understand how theyre part of the larger fabric of the community and this is just not the corner store they have influence over their community. It is an owner of this in the department of interior i see the great impact usually that is like people having especially with a small family think liquor store sells alcohol traditional alcohol but when they see this their vision is changed it is a small Grocery Store for them so they more options not just beer and wine but Healthy Options good for the business and good for the community i wish to have more when i open up the paper every day, im just amazed at how many different Environmental Issues keep popping up. When i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. It was really easy to sign up for the program. I just went online to cleanpowersf. Org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. Now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg e and i dont see any difference in paying now. If youre a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, its not going to change your bill at all. You can sign up online or call. Youll have the peace of mind knowing youre doing your part in your household to help the environment. 2020 remote meeting of the San Francisco board of appeals.
