Control as in the findings as part of the discussion in the findings here, instead of making it condition of approval. We have done that in the past for similar situations where the commission was interested in imposing something but didnt feel that it quite rose to the level of a condition of approval. I would be fine with that, if the commissioner chan would support that amendment. Clerk to make this recommendation . Commissioner chan yes, i could accept that to include the rent control provisions to be added in the findings instead. Clerk is that amenable . Yes, i would like to ask commissioner what he thinks about this part of the discussion and i would like to see what the applicant says. I could go either way but i would like to see what the applicant says. Mr. Kevin . Yes, thank you, commissioner. Can you hear me . Vicepresident moore yes, i can. Were in complete agreement that these four existing units and the a. D. U. Will be subject to the rent control moving forward. I certainly appreciate commissioner diamonds position that the more we clutter these Planning Commission approvals with conditions like this, that it can create it challenges down the road that are not foreseen today. That said, because we all agree that these are rentcontrolled units, i dont think that we are taking a strong position on whether or not you actually condition the project or not. Vicepresident moore thank you for saying that. And the reason why i would prefer to condition that has something to do with the fact that today we often have basically disconnect between ourselves and the rent board. Im not talking about us, just right now, but im talking about the Planning Commission and the rent board 10 years from now. Were living in very tumultuous time and where the proper tracking is not fully in sync, partially because we do not have rent registrations and we do not have all of the tools. So if the applicant is not opposed to it, its basically just another part of checks and balances. It is a note somewhere that can be referred to but its basically an assurance for the future. Thats all it is. So i would i would prefer to leave it as part of the conditions itself. President koppel before i go to the next commissioner, seeing these units are rent controlled im not in favor of imposing that other jurisdictions and other boards would be responsible for hearing. I think that commissioner diamond is next again. I lost track. Commissioner diamond yes, so even though the applicant is not opposed to having it as a condition, i am. I worry about the precedential value of doing this and i believe that we accomplished the tracking mechanism that commissioner moore is worried about in the findings. So i still believe that the appropriate place to put this language is in the findings. Clerk commissioner koppel, i believe that you skipped over commissioner chan. President koppel im sorry. Commissioner chan, go ahead. Commissioner chan no worries. I hear you, commissioner diamond. I think that at the same time hearing that the applicant is not opposed to it, i do think that this is something that would give the public a sense of reassurance in terms of listening to their concerns. Particularly around the rent control. And, you know, having been on the commission for not that long, and the staff has not normally provided prior information and history about the project sponsors prior compliance or even tenant history and things like that. So as much as possible if we are able to have more tracking and data, i would be supportive of moving in that direction. President koppel commissioner fung. Commissioner fung im not against having it in the findings, but i would not support it being in the conditions. President koppel commissioners, if im tracking this correctly there was a motion that was seconded, however, the maker of the motion amended her motion. I do not hear the second support then. Vicepresident moore i am the second, and i see commissioner imperial who was not speaking after i spoke, but shes right after me and before commissioner chan. Any additional comments that you have on this . Commissioner imperial im trying to think that in this current motion that there will be more i believe that there will be more discussion on this, especially if theres a rental registry that comes in. I do believe that despite what commissioner diamond says about the tools that we have adequate tools, i mean, we dont when it comes to rentcontrolled units. As far as the planning department, those rentcontrolled units need to be tracked. And also i believe that its part of the Housing Element as well. But in this motion i would retain on the amendment that i put out, to put the rent controt controlled units or the existing rentcontrolled units and the a. D. U. In the findings. Vicepresident moore i support your motion clerk okay, commissioners, i think that we have reached consensus here, so barring any further deliberation from commissioners, there is a motion that has been seconded to take d. R. , approve the project as revised with staff modifications, and recognizing that the existing four units and proposed a. D. U. Be rent controlled in the findings. On that motion [roll call] commissioner diamond so i understand that the rent control is in the findings and not the conditions . Clerk correct. Commissioner diamond then i am voting yes. Clerk commissioner fung. Commissioner imperial. Aye. Commissioner moore. Aye. And Commission President koppel. Aye. So moved, commissioners. That motion passes unanimously, 60, and it concludes your proceedings today and i will just make a friendly reminder that we are adjourning in the honor and eternal memory of bob passmore. Thanks, jonas. Good night. Jonas, you know when i first started working with bob . Clerk no, i dont, frank. 1982. [laughter] clerk he was the Zoning Administrator when i was hired at the planning department. And i will chime in and said that i started to work with him in 1983. And even then he was, you know, a font of wisdom and a gentleman. A real loss. Clerk yes. You know, he and i sat down together and we developed a one page d. E. R. Criteria. Still waiting to see that, commissioner diamond. I couldnt find it. [laughter] yeah, i had my i had it on my list to find that. We talked about it, david. Yeah, i know. My opportunity has passed.

This last friday, we lost United StatesSupreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Justice ginsberg had a monumental impact on advancing gender equality in this country and was really the lion of the court in terms of justice and equity for many decades. She was able to see things as they should be, not just as they are, and bravely and methodically taught others to see, too. She was a giant in her intellect, she had relentless commitment to excellence and she had complete humanity. Were naurnl she walked among us. So many women have opportunities to make the most of their lives and talents because of justice ginsburg. If her hp, i would [inaudible] with an equity update. The port has begun the internal work to build, support and reinforce an antiracist workplace. We are engaging our staff in reviewing our workplace demographics, really to identify areas where we can be more racially diverse and inclusive. Were looking at hiring and recruitment, training and promotions as well as discipline and separations. Reviewing the data is seeing where we can make interventions to change things. Im excited that were laufrming this tour internally. Itselfs an opportunity for staff at every level to engage in this work that is so important and to have their input reflected in our Racial Equity action plan. While it has been a long journey to get to this point, as an organization, many, many staff have put an important time lay the groundwork and were ready to take this important step at cae ago more equitable portful as an organization, were facing the problem of racism head on and recognizing that doing so is a core part of everyones work at the port of San Francisco. Id like to thank president brandon and all members of the commission for guiding us in this important wok and we will need your continued leadership and support and i look forward to bringing future up dates as we continue this work. To economic reopening. Last week t mayor announced that San Franciscos plan for reopening indoor dining, the city will move forward with 25 capacity with a maximum of 100 people. If the state is classified on the states list in orange, for whats possible to reopen. This reopen hg occur no sooner than the end of september. If locale covid cases and hospitalizations do not remain stable, we may not meet the states criteria and intoo dine willing not proceed. So please stay tuned. At this point, the plan is end of this month. The department of health is developing health and safety guidelines in close coordination with the Restaurant Industry to prepare for safe, limited, indoor dining. This opportunity may help many restaurant tenants who are using pickup, takeout and outdoor dining. Additional dining may be a difference in keeping restaurants going during covid, but has to be implemented carefully and in strict accordance with health and safety protocols. There are ferry eke kurtions. On monday, september 14 and the Health Officers amended order that was for the next phase of reopening, that order included a change to open air about excursion restrictions. Now charter boats including fishing boats with up to 12 people are allowed and the prior 12person cap on ferry excursions has been removed. The 12person now multiple groups in pods of 12 passengers can be on a vessel at one time. So long as the operator can ensure that the groups will remain separate as guided by the safety protocols outlined in that order. This is very welcoming news for Maritime Partners tan port is meezed that more activities can occur safely on the bay. I wanted to get a budget update. The budget is actually before the board of supervisors today. We went forward with the approved budget from Port Commission and it really didnt change dramatically through the mayors process or the board review. Our overall budget did decrease by less than 1 million so were now at 124. 8 million and it decreased by 1. 1 million for the second year for 111. 3 million. The expenditures changed changed due to citywide adjustments and technical revisions. Our citywide Cost Allocation expenses went up from 5 to 1. 7 p l and we had a 2. 5 increase in higher insurance eke pences. All of these increases were offset by cuts through the mayor and budget analyst phase. Notably they cut the pors bum by 240,000. We were the beneficiary of a 100,000 addback and that is for Youth Employment programmes to support port participating in a City Development programme. So, well eager to see the intersectionalty for our work and how to best participate in that opportunity. Our 10 million economic Recovery Project went through the process and actually received some positive feedback from members of the board. However, we do have a Budget Finance Committee reserved. So, once were ready to spend on economic recovery after coming and getting Port Commissioners review and recommendation, well be on our way to the board of supervisors to release that reserve. Finance staff expect turnaround and began the next budget process which will be much harder to perform as we go through our Covid Response for fiscal years 2223 in november and back with a new budget for consideration in february and that brings me to my last item, which is very welcomed news. Craneco spark set to open to the public next week on september 30. This is a wonderful sevenacre park and it is years in the making and reflects deep the deep value of Community Engagement and Port Commission oversight and leadership. Numerous port staff across many divisions made this park happen, but i nao ed to mention two staffers and commend them. David and erica, both have really worked tirelessly to pull off the vision for the park and it shows. Crane co park has several important goals. It closes the gap in the greenway. An important toefrt bring the nature to the southern part of the waterfront and incorporates the National Historic district for future generations. It is a very important it has a very important history and will be told to the public and future generations. It also addresses environmental contamination and prepares for sea level rise. But im especially proud that this park is in district 10 and opening at a time when open space is vital to everyones wellbeing. This is the first park on the east side of San Francisco to provide direct access to the bay. The next clip is beach opportunities or aquatic park in christy field. The park includes a multipurpose lawn a plaza to activate Historic Resources and accommodate special events. It has a family barbecue area and engaged for kayak and canoes and pathways for pedestrian and bike access. A beautiful garden that includes storm water improvements and great interpretive history.
