Service. We have ideas about revenue and we do think we can at least come part way of the what were being asked, but at this time at least given the climate i feel its irresponsible to offer further reductions given the fact that were working harder than we ever worked before so we will commit to continuing the dialogue. We have in the past. We have worked collaboratively to get our hiring plan rock solid as well as our fleet plan and we really think that the momentum is in our favor but to shrink back at this time is irresponsible to recommend doing, but recognizing that Everyone Needs to roll up their sleeves and get the work done and live within their means but we will commit to continuing having that discussion and conversation. Thank you chief. With that said mr. Corso thank you. Commissioners we have a motion on the floor. Are soy . [inaudible] [off mic] do we have Public Comment . No Public Comment.

Report on Current Issues activities and events within the Department Since the Fire Commission meeting of january 25, 2017 including budget, academies, special events, communications and outreach to other Government Agencies and the public. And report from operations on overall Field Operations including greater alarm fires, emergency medical services, bureau of Fire Prevention and investigation and Airport Division and update on h23 classification. Good morning again president cleaveland, commissioners. This is my report since our last meeting of january 25 regarding the budget. You just heard regarding as were moving forward and we appreciate your interest and your support, and the fact that i know our Budget Committee last week president cleaveland you couldnt be there but Vice President nakajo was there and thats really important. Were in the third year with the Budget Committee, and that has worked out really well for us. For the current fiscal year were on track for revenues and expenditures and the Budget Committee met last week on january 31. Regarding academies, the 121st academy is in the 11th week and anticipated graduation date is april 14 and at Riordan High School in the morning and we are on track for a start of our 122nd academy on april 24. We did ask for a new eligible list which were reviewing at this time. I believe all members on that list have been recently asked to complete a survey for secondary criteria. We have a number of alternates that worked through the process last time that will go through updated toxicology testing and so forth and those members will be also considered in part of the 122nd class. In addition we will be in the next week or so casting a wider net to invite more members off of the list to background. In regard to h23 classification academy and the ems academy theyre due to graduate and in session and graduate february 24. There is 26 members in that class. We started with 30 and down to 36. We also have some ha per deem paramedics and cross over to full time ems and paramedics h3 level twos that process begins next week on february 13. Regarding special Events Communications and outreach myself and the deputies attended the mayor of the state of the city address on january 26. Also with the four new supervisors that have come into office typically what i will do is i understand send a letter to each of them asking for a sit down to get to know one another and provide an overview of the mission of the Fire Department and we did that for the new supervisors and net with supervisor sheehy and when scott wiener became state senator. That meeting went well and interested in our mission, our statistics call volume and so forth so we look forward to working with him and meeting the other three new supervisors. On saturday the 20th i attended at portsmouths scbair the Chinese New Year kick off with the chief and a number of leaders and Department Heads. On the 31st and you will hear more about this at a presentation i believe you have the agenda for the 22nd and hear directly from director hey and i had the opportunity with the deputies to meet with the ten members of the department that went through 154 hour frs Community Paramedicine program which was very well received and its sort of value added that were working with partners at department of Public Health regarding a certain population that we respond to that dont necessarily need 911 services but receive more services in tune with their needs and dr. Hay spearheaded that with conjunction of Department Department of Public Health and we presented the certificates to the members and theyre very dedicated. Its basically a calling because youre working with you know a population in the city that as Vice President nakajo said frequent users of the system that might be better served in another arena if you will, so i will let dr. Hay get into that on the 22nd in his presentation because that has been a year in the making and we have a year worth of data, so and you will hear from chief gonzales that all of our ems employees will go through eight hours of training in addition to their Current Training related to our work for the Sobering Center and the department of Public Health. On february 3 deputy chief williams and i attended black History Month celebration here at city hall in the rotunda. I know commissioner covington was there as well. And on just yesterday a number of us met with the department of Human Resources at our request to review the promotional exam schedule, talk about different ideas that we have to make sure were on the same page and streamlined approach so that we have so we make sure we can and convey to our employees what the schedule is going to be, so they can have an opportunity to make their plans if theyre interested in taking a promotional examination so that was very well received and we got good information and we asked for a few things for them to consider. On the 11th as you know we will be participating with Asian Firefighters Association in the Chinese New Years parade and meeting at 430 at second and market to participate in that parade which is always enjoyable and i am hearing its going to be dry on saturday so thats good and on the 13th of february its already been brought up the reconvening of the ems work group to look at the good work that all of the stakeholders had come together with a couple of years ago when we were noticing that increase call volume and Response Times getting to a point where we were concerned. Its important to note even with the increased call volume we have some specific challenges but very close on to the 90 percentile, the ten minutes for the transport unit for the month of july which you know was very busy given a lot of different parameters and weather issues and good to convene and trends were seeing so we can be responsive in the months and years to come and that concludes my report at this time. Thank you chief. Do we want to have questions of the chief now or do we want to go on to our next report . Okay. Lets have the operations do we have any Public Comment on the chiefs report . Seeing none Public Comment is closed. Chief gonzales lets have your operations report. Good morning president breed and commissioners, good morning chief. Deputy chief mark gonzales. This is the Operations Department for january. I give my apologies to you the Commission Im sorry i didnt give the report last week of the flu bug hit our office hard. Within this period there was 13 working fires and second alarms and january 5 and on clear don. Initially came into something burning and engine 20 was the first to respond and see smoke in the area and the trees. Upon approval on the culdesac it was a burn tire and found a victim on the second floor andress cued the victim. Engine 12 assisted and and in the back bedroom and evolved and other divisions were on the scene. [inaudible] assigned to delta exposure to heavy smoke from the address. Therefore precautionary was struck and see heavy fire in the back of the building. Division two reported on the channel to the companies on scene. During the incident a report was made that a firefighters leg was punctured and not injured and made a call for the danger and use extreme caution in the area. They did a good job at the fire. The next was a greater alarm and january 13 on fulton street. There were two firefighters injured minor burns. The cause of the fire was insiddary with a subsequent arrest. Engine 31 reported in route to smoke and working fire and fire from the basement. 31 lead quarter line to the basement and attacked the fire. I would say interior aggressive attack by the crews under difficult conditions in the basement prevented budget to the upper flows and the delta. A coordinated attack was key to the success and moderate damage and to the delta exterior siding. The 30 greater alarm was on january 22 at cabrillo across the 15th. There were no injuries and the cause was accidental and with the commander chief burke behind me. 31 was first on scene and determined to be a working fire on the top floor. First hose line went to the fire. There was concern that the fire may have been below engine 31 so the second line was deployed below and third to the rear yard area and ignited between the delta exposure and the building and ventilation was done by a roof cut and good work by the crews. The first alarm crews kept this to minimal damage. On the Community Outreach i would like to thank the pio, our suppression companies out in the field, our Prevention Bureau and trained division including recruitment and nert. Our outreach has been phenomenal and surf cliff and safety messages and Fire Prevention tips. I would like to remind the public they can go to sf fire. Org or follow us on twitter and remind to sign up for emergency notifications and texting us to 888777. During we had had wet weather and safety meanls due to the storm and a lot of good information went out in january. On january 142 naked adults were rescues from below the cliff house and sffd worked well with the coast guard and the park service and treated for minor injuries and provided with temporary clothing and clothing and blankets. On january 4 the crews i would say a phenomenal great technical rescue and the male got trapped between the bart platform and car. They used the air bags to facilitate the release of the victim and simultaneously the paramedics had to follow policy so the victim had every chance to survive and survived and semi conscious and he did succumb from the injuries later that evening but i want to commend the crews. They did a great job. January 5 rescue below the cliff house and worked with coast guard and both ams have were unrelated and had minor injuries. On january 7 crews responded to a alarm resulting in two adults being rescue with smoke inhill laigz. On january 8 the dive team responded to city of alameda and oakland fire for a submerged vehicle and water rescue. Our crews worked well with others and the adult victim succumbed because of the incident and there were high wind storms you remember. We responded to trees down and many rescues. Large scaffolding collapsed on market and searched for victims. No am victims remember located and worked mitigating it safely. Market street was closed for the event though i would say for a good period of time. First alarm fire on january 21 on blythe dale. The canine was rescued and made the family happy in light of losing their possessions so valuable to you most . Loved ones and pets. Next a bart rescue and a successful rescue. This victim had non life threatening injuries and made it under the platform before the car got into the station. January 26 we hosted members of the tokyo fire service and nert and Community Outreach. Prevention education on january 3 we gave out a lot of smoke alarms, Carbon Dioxide detectors at the eent. We have been working with the city agencies. Theyre currently trying to publish a handout and sent to Translation Services to be done in multiple licenses. As the chief mentioned and the call volume went up and january stayed the same trend. I would like to mention this month were at 89. 29 meeting the ten minutes so were are right there and this month we are under the ten minute threshold and the call volume is not going down so we are addressing what we can internally to streamline what we do. We are making it more ready rigs as we say so ambulance crews and waiting for an ambulance come in and shouldnt have to wait and get in and go. Were making easy for the h8 to call in for shifts and make themselves available. Before it was cumbersome and were addressing that. Business hours. I mean they started at 6 00 a. M. Close to four, 5 00 p. M. Well theres other hours in the day and during the other days of the day from 5 00 a. M. To 6 00 p. M. We want the rescue captains to work with them and hire aggressively if needed. If theyre seeing trends of whatever is happening that night hire as much as you can and trying to make that capability more feasible to use. As the chief mentioned the bump up academy and the h academy is in progress and we work with the 911 Provider Committee on 911 system and analysis and deployment discussions. The ms division continues to work with dpw and assistant chief rivero and myself and cd3 and the chief and assistant chief and scale on the ambulance delivery process. Its been challenging but i think we will have a good facility. I am thankful for the voters to give uslet money to build that facility. As the chief mentioned the ms division is training all of the transport paramedics for the alternate destination pilot and requires eight hours of training. Once that transport paramedic received the training they can go to the center and a outlet for the patients that we encounter on the street. Nine of the ambulances have been received and three in service and the rest are outfitted and joined shortly and the and the first step to get this done. We strongly believe this is a administrative advisory position. Thats our take on it. We just want the classification done. We are committed to working with all parties including 798. Division of Fire Prevention investigation including in the report and list of permits and plan checkup date. Some i would like to highlight a few am whys in plan check. The Warriors Arena is under check and close to approval and moscone and other projects are under review and the subway and pipe review and 1. 7 miles of type. On the task and transportation update. Turk Street Project and mta withdraw the proposal. We made it clear that the muni over head wires are challenging for the operators to begin with so if you can find the prais we can operate a away from the requires and impossible to get where we need to go. Our truck operators are very its an art to sometimes and shots they get at some of the fires and how did they get the aerial up there . They canvass the area, look at the buildings and ladder the building if we have to. They do it constantly. People think theyre driving around but theyre looking at the area and respond to alarms theyre always case tg out and when it comes to the protected bike lanes i understand it but to make it more difficult for us to operate at fires is not the answer so were trying to work we are working well with nt a and i think theyre taking some of the suggestions to heart. The second is to market and herman and i think assistant chief burke and others went out with mta and brought one of the trucks out there. I think it was enlightening to see the actual truck there and get an aerial up so hopefully more of these projects will go forward but in conjunction with our fire operations in mind. Also include in my report is a bureau of fire investigation. At this time we have 108 open fire investigative reports. Bfi responded to 21 incidents in january rngs, seven structure requires and one homeless fire and other fires and had consults with chiefs of origin and cause and two arrests made and attached to the Everyone Needs<\/a> to roll up their sleeves and get the work done and live within their means but we will commit to continuing having that discussion and conversation. Thank you chief. With that said mr. Corso thank you. Commissioners we have a motion on the floor. Are soy . [inaudible] [off mic] do we have Public Comment<\/a> . No Public Comment<\/a>.

Thanks chief gonzales. Is there any Public Comment<\/a> on chief gonzales report . Seeing none Public Comment<\/a> is closed. Commissioners. Vice president nakajo. Thank you very much chief gonzales for your comprehensive report. Thank you chief hayeswhite. I just have a couple of comments on your report. You talked about moving forward with the h23s. We have been talk about this for quite a while from the commission level, from the department level. I believe that all of us in the commission i will speak for myself, very much support movement on this position. I think its crucial and essential particularly where were at in terms of call volume but also because its a budgeted item as well and with the atmosphere of what is occurring the last thing that would be a negative for this department we do not fill that position and get some operation [inaudible] so i just wanted to remark the importance of that and keep us up to deet with that and hopefully there will be some movement with that. I also wanted to get e enforcement tha reinforcement chief hayeswhite that the work group is reconvening. Correct. And here at city hall. We have a good representation of representatives present and working toward the issues of Response Time<\/a> and cal volume . Correct. We invited the stakeholders and notifying local 798, the private providers, the controllers office, the Mayors Office<\/a> and i believe someone from ems Officers Association<\/a> as well as the paramedic association. Okay thank you chief. I am looking forward to that meeting. I also at this time wanted to remark that im going to be looking forward as the rest of the commissioners to our february 24th update on one Year Anniversary<\/a> of ems6 and dr. Yay with the discussion about call volume and how we can best utilize our resources and try to make good with the increased population as well. Definitely will be looking forward to that. In terms of the airport report i understand now that we are occupying our new airport station and at some point chief gonzales i am assuming that the commissioners would be able to go out to the new station and be able to take a view and a tour of what the facilities are at that station. Absolutely sir. You can go down there anytime but i believe assistant deputy chief kas llanos is planning a grand opening and invite the commissioners and staff to it. Do you have a date for that . [inaudible] [off mic] thank you very much chief. I am looking forward to that as well. And then finally in terms of a request at some point chief gonzales, chief hayeswhite i would like to do a ride along at station 49 at the socalled off hours. I am getting older but i wouldnt mind a 6 00 p. M. To midnight to 7 00 a. M. Shift looks like and what is occurring out there in the streets of San Francisco<\/a>. Any night you want. All right. I will coordinate with your office. Okay. Thank you mr. President. Thank you Vice President<\/a> nakajo. Commissioner hardeman. Thank you mr. Chair. Chief hayeswhite and chief gonzales good reports. Thank you. I am glad to hear that chief you have effort to deal with frequent callers or users of the system is given special attention and you have ten people that specialize in that that is fantastic because when you analyze how often the system is used for people that just are using it over and over with not lifethreatening in some cases its good that youre taken that challenge and dealt with it. Good to hear all your classes are on schedule and we still have 52. Hopefully they graduate on good friday. Thats easy day for us and not a lot of things scheduled and i looked at my calendar and good thats a day that shouldnt be too tough. Thanks for the report thanks chief newman and [inaudible] and burke for the great job and the alarm fires. Nice that you took care of those in good fashion and your report indicated how they did and keep to two alarms is great and calling for two alarms is good when any question existed. That was good. The two burned firefighters they all okay back to work. I believe they are back to work. Okay good. So that was something they could deal with without extensive time off. Good. Congratulations on the 89 for the ambulances. Chief myers you must be feeling good. I know when commissioner nakajo and i took a tour of the ambulance it was extremely depressing because we heard from the staff and broken down old torn up ambulance how they break down daily and it was a real morale problem to see we have the six new ones going and the three new coming in and i dont know if it increased efficiency but good for morale and the people that use the ambulances and homes practically for part of the day. Absolutely. Thats refreshing. Sort of defeats our complaint about the increased volume but it just so happens things are going good they go bad its harder more obstacles. Seems like youre able to get away from problems. Thats terrific news. You answered a question about the airport. That would be fun to see the grand opening on the new modern fire house. I know the one we have down on mission bay on third street is the most incredible building. I think you did a great job on that so if the station in at the airport looks anything like that that would be good. On your time i am also bringing this up i talked to fire marshal dekaz io chief gonzales and i dont think we ever had the port fire marshal make a presentation to us on the amount of duties that they have, so the chief the fire marshal said it would be fine so getting the fire marshal, the port to do a presentation on his it was which are extensive i think would be informative for the commission so at your call of staff that is included in my report. Have the fire marshal come over from the port and have a presentation. Absolutely. When we dont have a busy meeting that would be nice to do. You got it. Used to do a report to us at the Port Commission<\/a> but seeing that hes not on staff and necessarily it would be good. You have all the brass here but dont see the fire marshal from the report. Thats it. Great reports. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you commissioner hardeman. Commissioner covington. Thank you mr. President. Yes, chief gonzales i omitted something important in the respect. I forgot to mention and battalion five opened up on the 14th and happy about that and three battalion chiefs into that station on grove and baker. They have responded to the single alarms and greater alarms and great to have and division two mentioned that numerous times to me and thank you for getting that battalion back. Excellent. Thats good to have them back. Its been a long time so i am glad everyone is settling in nicely. Chief gonzales could you tell us more about on page four the incident on bart on january 4 . So what i understand is somehow we got pinned between the bart car and just the platform. I mean youre talking about much space so our rescue squad, engine seven, truck seven, battalion six charry crane, our medic units did a good job to stabilize them and do what they could and got the car apart to extricate him and unfortunately he succumbed that night but they did a good job on the scene. And the air bags have enough force to push the train to tilt it . It was enough to tilt it away from the platform to extricate the victim. Very good. And for january 8 at 700 market you said the scaffolding was 12 stories tall . That was an approximation. I didnt have have it in front of me. We had a alarm there years ago and it was under remodel and ten, 12 stories, around there. And it collapsed due to high winds. Okay. Thats what i was thinking. Thank you for that. And i am glad to see that under your prevention and education subject matter you have excuse me the materials that are going to be produced in multiple languages. I believe i asked about that at our last meeting and i see as of this date we have material in english, spanish and chinese and we currently have a multiple page Public Safety<\/a> handout that has been sent to Translation Services<\/a> to be printed in english, spanish, tagalog, chinese and russian. Yes, maam. So thats fantastic. Thank you. I am very happy to see that so how do people go about getting these materials if they would like to have them at sceern centers or people that speak these languages gather . Were going to do outreach to the communities, different battalions. Battalion seven there is a huge russian and number one huge asian community. Wherever they are we will be there. We had a fire safety in battalion one recently for instance and i am sure that material was there in the languages. All of the languages are there for everybody but we try to target it and like i said the outreach is aggressive. The pio is working hand and hand with prevention as well as the recruitment as well as nert as well as training and theyre really getting out there so as far as a plan and getting we plan on doing it perpetually and not just this year or next year. Its a ongoing growing phenomenon. I would include the churches in the outreach for sure. Churches . Yes please. Because theres a number of russian language churches that are outside of what be considered russian neighborhood and the same with the filipino community. Okay. And then i see on page eight the transportation advisory staff committee. I am glad to know that things are moving along and that were working more closely with mta regarding these obstructions that can sometimes go up and hamper the ability of members of the department i think it helps through the chief we met with director reiskin last month and made it clear it is collaborative and i think both departments are willing to Work Together<\/a>. Very good, and i wanted to just read this letter. I know that you were trying to be brief in your presentation, but on page 6 for my fellow commissioners this is under the heading the following or summary responses that we got on social media and this one is from jesse. My wife was home alone with our nine month old of two flights of twisty stairs. My wife fell while walking baby. Luckily our baby is fine however my wife broke three bones in her ankle. The firefighters immediately on the scene helped her calm down by insuring our baby was okay. One even washed a bottle to feed the baby. I believe they were from station 23. Paramedics jenn shirr caaha and Aaron Thruston<\/a> were incredible and got my wife down stairs and helped me over the course of an hour transporting her. My wife said she was sad to see them go and hung with them a bit longer smiley face. As the recipient of my wifes hysterical phone call after the injury the gratitude and relief i felt knowing that the sffd was taking good care of her and our baby is too deep for words. Thank you so much so i wanted to share that with everyone. Thank you commissioner. Thank you. Thank you commissioner covington. I was also going to recognize those kudos to our department and i think theyre well deserved and just one example of many every day where were helping san franciscans. A couple of questions for you. You can describe what the crush syndrome is when you have to employ the crush syndrome . Well, before you start taking the victim out they have to be injected with potassium what is it called . [inaudible] [off mic] sodium bicarb so paramedics come on up. Chief myers come on up. Jeff myers ems chief. Crush syndrome is generally occurs over time. Individuals that are inpinched upon by heavy rocks like in u sar, urban search and rescue, structure like the bart train and compresses the tissues and organs and build up high amounts of acid and over time develop conditions which has secondary effects of deterioration of muscle and they go into conditions of different things. The big issue you want to maintain Blood Pressure<\/a> so you give them fluid toss elevate and it creates a dam effect so if you suddenly reduce the pressure the Blood Pressure<\/a> drops out and can be catastrophic and give medications for heart rhythms of the build up of the elect tro lights and most patients if treated properly do well. Some have longer term problems with renal failure and liver failure et cetera. Thank you chief. I think its key to confirm you want to make sure to the extent you can you try and intervene because once you remove whatever is pinning them down then like you said the patient can really suffer very delicate situation. And quickly and may appear to be conscious and speaking but once you remove the item things can really deteriorate. And this person stuck between the bart train and the platform ultimately died. Is that correct . Later that night in the er, yes, but they got him there. Thank you chief myers. Sure. The cliff rescue theres been a number of rescues behind the cliff house or around there and the caves. Is there proper signage out there to warn people . Whats the reason were having so many rescues there . There is signage out there and can always be improved. People have died here. Dont go there. Who is responsible for the signage. National park service generally. Perhaps we should just contact them and have a look at what signage out there and maybe we need more signage and its happening too frequently and rescuing people off the cliffs. 32 needs to be enhancement of our warnings. We Work Together<\/a> with them as far as the surf rescue and ocean beach they put more signage out there. I remember [inaudible] was out there battalion seven suggested put more markers and when youreicallying from the cell phone and give directions to where were going. Sometimes there is delay finding the people but yeah i agree improved signage can always be attained. And Early Warning<\/a> system that we could put out there. Anyway the rescue dive two the two dive team you sent to alameda and oakland do they dont have dive teams . Were only one in the region and we get called often i wouldnt say often but get called to different areas. There is a golden area to get to the item and possibly save them. We put that into consideration before we send the units and we have a dive policy that we wrote up and get it streamlined and quickly as possible and give the victims the best chance of survival and they got there pretty quick. They have to make a decision whether they respond with the boat to the equipment or traffic conditions permit or close enough to the shore they might drive there in this instance they drove there off of the coast and they got there quick. Are we the only jurisdiction that has a dive team . I would say 24 7 within the area i would say yes. So we really have a responsibility for the bay area and dive teams and responses to vehicles going into the water. I agree. Look at Sonoma County<\/a> and the flooding and what not so if they have a vehicle go into the river up there, the Russian River<\/a> we would send a dive team there. Russian river . I doubt we would go that far. I am just asking. And within that time of the golden hour we would never get there. Okay. I would like to for dropped and i would like to thank you for reducing the number of outstanding investigations. I wanted to ask you about the als. How many stations have advanced life support personnel of station there and what is our process for increasing the number of als at each fire station or at least one at each station . So the process of increasing our level three and the firefighters paramedics and if theyre on the engine that is considered als they come from h3 level two, station 39 and they get into the 49 and they get into the academy and pass that they go out on probation. On the engine time for six months that engine will be als and do the truck time but their rank is h3 level three and utilize them as a resource. As far as how many engines we try to average we are averaging 32. On top of that we do have i would say up to 34 to 35 per day because we have probationary members on those staffing them as other als stations in other engines. I appreciate the efforts to het the h23 position posted and i support Vice President<\/a> nakajo and my fellow commissioners urgency getting the h23 position posted and filled so i think we all share the need and i know that theres concerns out there but they have been addressed time and time again, and i believe its time to move forward with that so i believe i speak for the entire commission. We feel that the h23 program is super important. Its an important to give our emts a ladder of advancement and opportunity for administrative opportunities and ladder of advancement frankly and we support you as a commission to move forward with that posting. Copy that. Thank you. Thats all my questions. Excuse me. Commissioner covington. Thank you very much. Yes, you do have my support concerning the h23s. Thank you. Weve had so many meetings about this. Its really time to get the ball rolling, and i was remiss in my comments earlier about outreach to the churches. I forgot the sin gods and please good that as well. Temp ems, synagogues you god it. Thank you commissioner covington. Vice rice. Thank you very much mr. President. Chief gonzales i really appreciate you did include an update on battalion five. We fought hard for that Department Wise<\/a> totally. It was much needed but i think the justification of how we utilize battalion five and the incidents they report to is going to be real important from this point moving forward. I just really appreciate that and would appreciate any update or consistent reporting on the activities of battalion five. Thank you chief. You got it which are. Thank you Vice President<\/a> nakajo. And thank you for your report. Executive secretary would you call the next item. Item 6 resolution 20171, discussion and possible action regarding proposed resolution 201701 that the San Francisco<\/a> Fire Department<\/a> that the San Francisco<\/a> Fire Department<\/a> require all members uniformed and civilian take the biennial harassment prevention training. Thank you madam secretary. Is there any Public Comment<\/a> on this resolution . Seeing no Public Comment<\/a> Public Comment<\/a> is closed. Commissioners what is your pleasure . [inaudible] [off mic] commissioner covington. Okay. Thank you very much mr. President. This i am really happy to see this resolution come forward. As you know before and during ms. But dln shons presentation and make sure all members of the department go through the training. I think its important for the culture of the department and it is part of our Due Diligence<\/a> to make sure that this happens so i am very happy to see this resolution and i would like to move this item. Thank you commissioner covington. Do i have a second . Second. And i would request that the Commission Secretary<\/a> read it into the record. Madam secretary please read the resolution into the record. Resolution 201701 resolution recommending that the San Francisco<\/a> Fire Department<\/a> require that all members uniformed and civilian take the biennial harassment prevention training whereas the san rephrase Fire Commission<\/a> up holds the citys policies regarding discrimination and harassment and retaliation free work place and Sexual Harassment<\/a> and the Fire Commission<\/a> supports the biennial harassment prevention training for supervisors and compliance with the california state law ab1825 and whereas the San Francisco<\/a> Fire Commission<\/a> believes it would be valuable for the Fire Department<\/a> to administer the training module to iewl all Department Employees<\/a> a regular basis and whereas the San Francisco<\/a> Fire Commission<\/a> deems it important to the Fire Department<\/a> to administer the citys harassment prevention training module to entry level uniform and new hire civilian employees during the probation period now be resolved that the Fire Commission<\/a> of the city and county of San Francisco<\/a> hereby exercises its authority under the San Francisco<\/a> administrative code section 2 a. 90 to rule as follows. One, that beginning with the 121st fire academy the Fire Department<\/a> will administer the harassment training training train module during the probation period and two that the success completion of the harassment prevention training module is a requirement to pass probation for these same employees and three that the training module is part of the probationary handbook for entry level uniformed employees. Four, the Fire Department<\/a> supervisors will be required to take the citys 2017 harassment Prevention Training Program<\/a> in accordance with the citywide compliance schedule for California Law<\/a> ab1825 and five, that the next scheduled Department Wide<\/a> harassment prevention training for all Fire Department<\/a> employees will be in 2019 to coincide with the citywide compliance schedule for the california state law ab1825. Thank you madam secretary. We have a motion on the floor to adopt this and support it. May i have s. Yes and i have a comment. Commissioner hardeman. Thank you mr. Chair. I was talking to director of training, the chief i dont see him here after the last meeting how this would work for his scheduling at academy, and so i am glad to see this is not going to be something that has to be done during the academy because theres just no time but they have a whole year to go online during work hours when there might be down time and you could always check in and work halfhour on it and if you have a call and go on and its doesnt have to be done at the academy and all of the stations understand that the new h2 has to do this and thats all and make it clear its on record it has to be done while theyre employed. They dont have to do it on their own time and not at the fire academy. That was just a clarification. Like i said i dont see the chief here but just i know he would be happy to hear that. Thank you commissioner hardeman. All in favor say aye. Aye. The vote is unanimous madam secretary. Item 7 communications emails from James Corrigan<\/a> dated january 22, 23, 24, 30, and february 1, 2017 and email from Christopher Wisniewski<\/a> dated january 28, 2017.

Item 8 agenda for next Fire Commission<\/a> meeting on february 22, 2017. Vice president nakajo. Thank you mr. President. Madam secretary could i have a clarification on what is the agenda for february 22 at this time . We have an ems six update. Thank you. [inaudible] okay. Thats all at the moment. Thank you madam secretary. At the discretion of the chief at some point i would like to have a request from the emergency Communication Unit<\/a> if we can, an update as to what is occurring at that unit just to share of information chief hayeswhite at your discretion of date and coordination with ems, not ems, the emergency communication level, excuse me. Thank you. Thank you. Chief hayeswhite. Thank you president cleaveland. I have not had a chance to speak to chief gonzales or dr. Yay regarding the presentation. I know that the doctor is planning on presenting on the 22nd. I got something yesterday that was a request by one of the members of ems6 rescue captain simon pang. I know he wanted to be here for the presentation and hes unable to be here so i could go either way. Dr. Yay did you want to weigh in on that . [inaudible] [off mic] i am prepared to [inaudible] however it would be [inaudible] [off mic] march 22nd. And i defer to the commission. I know captain pang as well as captain bassett theyre integral parts of the team and it just sort of reinforces their passion about this program that hes asked that you would consider deferring until hes able to be here so a. M. Or p. M. Meeting i dont think would make a difference so at your call. I think speaking for the commission i think we will defer it until we have everyone involved in the program that can speak to it so we will move it to march to the date best suited for the biggest attendance from the ems6 program. Thank you president cleaveland. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Commissioner hardeman. Yes thank you mr. Chair. I already mentioned this about the port fire marshal at the call of staff when the chief feels appropriate and do a report on the new fire boat and the station 35 how thats going, all of that at once so thank you chief. Thank you commissioner hardeman. Commissioner covington. I had no comment. I am sorry. Your name was up. Its rare you dont have a comment. A ghost in the machine. Okay. Well thank you very much. Madam secretary next item. Item 9 adjournment. So moved. Do we have a second . [inaudible] [off mic] thank you. Any Public Comment<\/a> . Who seconded . Commissioner hardeman. Thank you. This meeting is adjourned. [gavel] all right. Good afternoon everybody. Welcome to the San Francisco<\/a> board of Supervisors Committee<\/a> in the meeting for february 13, 2017. My name is mark farrell. I will be chairing this committee and joined by the vice chair aaron peskin as well as supervisor katy tang. I want to thank sfgtv for covering todays meeting as well as the clerk of our meeting alisa somera. Madam clerk do we have any announcements. Yes. Please silence all cell phones and Electronic Devices<\/a> and Electronic Devices<\/a>. All documents submitted to the clerk and items will be on the submitted to the clerk and on the february 28 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Already. Madam clerk will you call item 1. Womb one is the environment at code for Green Building<\/a> requirements for municipal builds and findings. Okay. We have staff here from the department to speak on this item. Good afternoon. Thank you chair farrell and members of the land use and Transportation Committee<\/a> for hearing this item. Were ready for the over heads for the presentation. Okay. What you have before you are amendments to Chapter Seven<\/a> of the environment code. Now this has been sponsored by the mayor and board president breed. So this ordinance is not a new ordinance. It is it ej rated back in 1998 when our first Green Building<\/a> program in place. It morphed and changed in 2004 to adopt lead silver as the minimum building standard for municipal builderce and in 2011 got lead gold as the building standard. This change was also it was also the same as what was going on in the private sector where also lead silver to gold is now the standard citywide. Theres a context and the reason were having this ordinance come before you today and that is that the Building Code<\/a> has changed, want only for the city but the stay wide so you have the California Energy<\/a> code. As well as the california state Building Code<\/a> and cal green are updated and our ordinance needs to corspend to that and lead leadership and Environmental Design<\/a> has version three which is expired and now has version four so at one level had this is a clean up ordinance to make sure were in context but using it as an opportunity to clarify and look to the future. So how are we doing . This is just a quick snapshot how the city has doing implementing the lead ordinance since 2004. To date we have 51 municipal bodybuildings, nine are platinum. This is one of the largest municipal portfolios in the United States<\/a>. Some specific examples handout hospital is an example of the laguna honda is a example the first lead hospital. And the academy is double load for construction and maintenance building. The airport terminal two is the first terminal to be lead gold in the u. S. Here in the building we find ourselves city heal is the oldest lead Platinum Building<\/a> in the United States<\/a> and with the retrofits that we did on this building the taxpayers as well as the employees can benefit tw of 25 Energy Savings<\/a> and thousands of gallons of water saved and those are some of the benefit s and the new Public Safety<\/a> you may not know not only is it home to our police and fire, but it has three living roofs, brain water harvesting, gray water reuse and water savings fixtures make this the most water efficient building in the citys municipal portfolio and designed before we were in a drought and having this as our goal and pushes toward the future and resilient for whatever is to come so the proposed changes to this ordinance are in three buckets. Updates which i alluded to. Clarifications to make this i clear and easier to implement ordinance and finally additions to look forward to the future so the proposed updates the California Energy<\/a> code has been modified and we need to point to the recent code. The California Green<\/a> code has been updated and we need to point to the recent code in our ordinance and finally lead itself has expired version three and on to version four which is heavily focused on energy and efficiency which will help us as we try and meet the statewide goals of zero Net Energy Building<\/a>. The lead three to body four was perhaps the area that gave the Department Heads<\/a> the most heart burn and concerned about the comp implications would be so we worked closely with public works and as with the Building Construction<\/a> team, with the consultants to do an analysis of actual City Projects<\/a> to see what the impact would be on the building if we go from three to four. For new construction was a wash and 0. 8 increase in the cost of the building. For renovations we get a range of impacts depending how we accommodate the Solar Photovoltaic<\/a> system from 2. 5 to 5 increase in cost. We believe these costs can be mitigated to a large degree by up front planning and yet its important to go in with our eyes open and a small increase Going Forward<\/a>. The clarifications that we put in place. The first one is that we shifted the applicability of this ordinance to have a threshold of 10,000 square feet rather than 5,000 square feet. Citywide that threshold is 2,500,000 square feet so were 25,000 square feet and leading by example but projects have a higher cost burden and asking us to join us in the spirit of lead if not certification of the second area had to do with the port. It turns out the port of San Francisco<\/a> has its own Building Code<\/a> and confusion as to whether or not Chapter Seven<\/a> applied to the port and its explicit that section 7 05 and 706 that may seem redundant are not in effect for the port but the port changed the code to make sure its consistent with Chapter Seven<\/a>. Theres a part of this program which is the waiver process so that if a City Department<\/a> feels it cannot meet the standards set forth in Chapter Seven<\/a> they can apply to get a waiver from either the certification for lead or specific elements that are in that certification, and for the port we have put in place a process in the port where they will do their own waivers and director of the port will have the authority to grant the waivers but we instituted a transparent Decision Making<\/a> process where the task force will issue a recommendation to the port. The port will make a decision and made public at the Environment Commission<\/a> and the Port Commission<\/a>s, so we clarified and increased transparency when it comes to the port and theyre incredibly unthese yatdic and willing partner and the last clarification which was very important is that we made it clear that this ordinance does apply to major renovations and tenant improvements in leased space so for example when the San Francisco<\/a> employees retirement or the Health Service<\/a> system remodeled their location they do it now with a lead check list and with lead certification and that way the taxpayers, the employees, the visitors are insured to have the benefit of a lead certified building, so that was then the amendments, and the clarifications, so the updates and clarifications and now looking towards the future how can this ordinance prepare us for what is coming ahead . How can we look ahead at what the state of california is putting in place . What about our climate goals . So the proposed additions were asking each project to do a feasibility on what it takes to build that project to be zero net energy . Its a statewide goal where the Energy Budget<\/a> for the building is the same as the energy generated on site through renewables. It doesnt make sense to do it for large skinny buildings but three or fewer stories we may be able to achieve net energy before the deadline by the state of california. Were asking projects to do a cost benefits analysis for solar plus storage and how do we take the solar on site and meld it with batteries and use that energy in the evening or in the event of an earthquake or other disaster . And finally were looking at what is actually going in those buildings and it turns out that the furniture in the buildings in fact the furniture youre sitting on now often contains toxic chemicals and flame retard arts so were putting language in the ordinance for the department of the environment to draft regulations and City Department<\/a> to the change the procurement in the wonderful lead program soas thats a snapshot of this ordinance in terms like i said there is larger context why we need to do it now. We have amendments that have clarifications and updates s and the idea to looking to the future so any questions you might have i am open. Colleagues any questions right now . Okay. Thank you very much. We will open up to Public Comment<\/a>. Anyone wish to comment on item number 1 . Okay. Hello i am here to support i am laura and here to support the update to the environment code. San francisco is an early adopter of buildings and lead the country towards innovative Green Building<\/a>s and the private sector to follow. Its gone on to be a success around the world and we can pride in that and this update includes important true ups to stay current and continue to lead in this area. The gold standards for Green Building<\/a> have evolved so we need to keep up and pushing the envelope and San Francisco<\/a> wants to be a leader in this area and we can do so with some of the amendments in the ordinance. Finally were especially pleased to support some of the key pieces that director raphael mentioned at the end, the idea of making the buildings zero net energy which is a staple that the state doesnt fully know how to execute so we can show how to do in San Francisco<\/a>, doing on of sight Battery Storage<\/a> and paired with Renewable Energy<\/a> is important as our Energy System<\/a> becomes more renewable we have to figure out to keep the electrons we generate into sun and something we recommended in a report at spur worked on over the last two years that being load at what the bay area and what cities in the area can do to help advance a fossil free region especially recommended this idea be pursued so to see it incorporated into the municipal Green Building<\/a> is a great idea as well as were happy to see the ordinance include the requirement to implement the better roofs ordinance which we worked hard on over the years and pleased to see and incorporated into the sites such as the Public Safety<\/a> building so in short were in favor of the update and look forward to it be implemented. Thanks. Thanks. I have two other speaker cards. [calling speaker names] so if year free feel free to come on up. Good afternoon supervisors. Rich berman part of San Francisco<\/a> and i am here to express my support of the revisions. The port has worked closely with the department of of the environment in carving out some of the revisionsa and they have been a fantastic partner not only in this but establishing citywide goals and leaders for us in establishing our own Climate Action<\/a> goals which are reflected in the ports strategic plan, and were very appreciative of the ability to incorporate the especially 705 and 706 sections into the port Building Code<\/a>. If there are questions about that i am happy to answer them. Thank you very much. Next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is Brendon Mc Haney<\/a> and i am the director of the Building Councils<\/a> Northern California<\/a> office and here to support the Green Building<\/a>s requirements for the municipal buildings and San Francisco<\/a> has been a lead on these issues and it ensures the leadership that these projects reduce environmental impacts. Our lead Rating System<\/a> is the leading choice for environmental impacts and certifying the improvements made. While this standard has been voluntary adopted in the private sector and many are in the Public Sector<\/a> and governments that saw the benefits of reduced energy bills and improving environmental conditions and healthier and more productive working spaces. Local government leadership and raising the ceiling for performance has in turn raised the floor and advances in the building and environment code and for technology and market advances and the lead system is regularly updated and this would require lead verse four and the current version of best practice in building environmental performance. The state of california has expressed its intent that all buildings are zero net energy by 2030 and producing clean sources and take a step in that dreakz and mandating the standard consistent with the policy direction. With so much uncertainty at the federal level its important to push for leadership on environmental cashes and thank the city and county of San Francisco<\/a> issue for the leadership and look forward to working with leaders and staff to make sure that municipal buildings meet a high level of performance. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anyone else wish to comment on item number 1 . Yes. I am a neighborhood activist and here for the next item but i think at that point somewhere in our great bureaucracy and system somebody has to Say Something<\/a> a little bit realistic about this building and what is going on with it and lets say we build a zero Net Energy Building<\/a> but all of the activity that go in and owl and embedded in an environment and economy that is 70 based on fossil fuel so were increasing the fossil fuel you know, juice, you know and thats the shortcoming of its not beautiful in other words. It has a huge wart on it. Thank you very much. Anyone else wish to comment on item number 1 . Seeing none. Public comment is now closed. [gavel]. Colleagues any questions or comments . If not a motion to move this item forward. So moved. Second. Okay. Motion by supervisor peskin with recommendation supervisor . Yes, sir. If we could do that and second by supervisor tang. We will take that without objection. [gavel] madam clerk will you call item 2. Item 2 is ordinance amending the planning code to allow amusement arcades south of market eastern neighborhood and mixed use district except in the residential enclave districts affirming the departments department. Thank you. I am from the department. Thank you members. Last week we heard this item and asked for a continuance so the City Attorney<\/a> could prepare amendments spflg to allowing the arcade use or prohibited removing the prohibition of arcade use only in the soma Light Industrial<\/a> district and we have revised legislation from the City Attorney<\/a> so we ask for your amendments to the original legislation that it only be limited to soma service Light Industrial<\/a> and we have legislation. Do you have copies . Sorry. Do you think maybe you could walk us through the amendments here cant vote on them until understanding what they are. Yeah. Originally the legislation had the arcades prohibition deleted in the south of market and mixed use district so all of the mixed use district and each eastern neighborhood but we prepared prohibition for the south of Market Service<\/a> Light Industrial<\/a> district and this is an amendment of the whole so it doesnt show the original place wrist it was originally allowed. Okay. I have some cross outs and so forth. This is the amendment we can take this forward and move it forward today . Okay. So just in the title as well as it looks like 17 and 18 on page two . Correct. You have an extra period on page one at line 17. Supervisor peskin attention to detail here. John gibner and there were sections not amended in the first ordinance and removed from this version all together some changes to zoning coal tables that no longer need to be changed because the ordinance is scaled back. Okay. Colleagues any questions, comments for the sponsor and team in. Less is more. I am fine with these changes. Okay. We will open up Public Comment<\/a> then. Thank you. [calling speaker names] if there is anybody else wish to speak please line up and do this for the next items as well. Everyone has two minutes to speak if line up on the far wall. That would be great. Good afternoon supervisors. I am president of the south of market business association. I remember as a kid i still loved to go to the local cafe in my town and play pin ball and not just games but meet people there and a fun time to have a friday evening or saturdays and so forth so it was a great time to spend with friends and so we feel its the same thing now. We dont have the pin ball machines anymore. Its sort of more electronic and techy stuffs and i dont blame myself but its great for the community and great for the young generation to come and spend time with friends and you know but also what it does is makes the area more vibrant and on top of that the city benefits because of the money that comes in from the folks that spend at these places that will have these entertainment what do you call it . Arcades, amusement arcades, sorry, so i urge you to please support this. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. I was here lapt week and ask for your support and here again for that and piggyback on everything i said last week. You know this is a concept that is resurging in the country from new york to portland to Southern California<\/a> and it will be helpful to get it in our city now. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody else wish to comment on item 2 . Okay. Seeing none. Public comment is now closed. [gavel] colleagues we have an amendment whole in front of us. I will make a motion to adopt the amendments discussed and send forward with positive recommendation to the full board. Okay. Motion by supervisor tang and second by supervisor peskin. Madam clerk will you call items 3 and four together. Item 3 is exempting requirements and authorizing land and on 180 jones street establishing the Affordable Housing<\/a> fund and accepting a 2. 7 million gift to the fund and approving the [inaudible] of conveyance of property and appropriate findings. Okay. Thank you very much. These items sponsored by supervisor kim. Yes,. We will open it up to her to speak in the beginning. I know this Committee Heard<\/a> this item last monday and just wanted to summarize the ordinances that are before us today. First of all i do want to recognize many of our Community Leaders<\/a> and residents from the tenderloin and midmarket area that were part of working on negotiating the deal that is before us today with 950 market. The ordinance that is before us today was an outcome of discussions that the community had with the Developer Group<\/a> out of concerns that below market rate units for ownership wouldnt be accessible to the vast majority of residents in the neighborhood. Due to that they identified a site, one of the last developable vacant parcels in the tenderloin, 180 jones which is currently a parking lot and worked with the developer to purchase and acquire the site and dedicate the city to build at least 60 units of step up Affordable Housing<\/a> for single occupancy residents and this is a huge housing issue here in San Francisco<\/a>. We have many residents that are longterm single room occupancy residents who are ready to move into step up housing, other Affordable Housing<\/a> and freeing up their rooms for other individuals that are recently homeless as future housing for the formerly homeless in San Francisco<\/a>. This group worked close with the office to purchase the land and additional funds to build that 180 jones street. The primary project is important to the revitalization of the midmarket and the loin area. We proximate the value of the land purchase and contribution to the fund at approximately 25 of the on of site Affordable Housing<\/a> obligation. I had mentioned last week at mondays Land Use Committee<\/a> when questions arose about the value of this deal that our office works very hard to push the envelope with all of the private developers to ensure that were sharing in the value conterto land and building the maximum Affordable Housing<\/a> possible but also we want to make sure were consistent with our developments so we crafted this deal looking at a project that passed unanimously at this board of supervisors last may of 2016 which is the 1066 market cite and the parking lot and residents were concerned they werent qualify for the below market rate units and residents asked that developer to acquire another parcel that is very meaningful to the tenderloin neighborhood, 101 hyde street which is currently the Old Post Office<\/a> building, previously one of the ways that the tenants received mail and communication, and to purchase that site from Property Owner<\/a> that had entitle to build 100 market rate units and that land is dedicated to the city and they also dedicated an Affordable Housing<\/a> gift to help jump start the predevelopment for that site so it will also be 100 Affordable Housing<\/a>. On top of this because of some of the historic nature or the historic nature of the building in that it previously housed transgender, lesbian, gay and bisexual retail and environment sites. The comptons district Historic District<\/a> Committee Work<\/a> with the developer to seed and grant a 300,000 fund dedicated to city to support Webcor Obayashi<\/a> tlgb. The money will. Go towards the Cultural Heritage<\/a> district in the tenderloin, create a transgender focus community in the tenderloin and want one or more transgender store fronts in the comptons this legislation codifies many of the components i talked and i want to recognize the audience that worked together with the developer and 950 coalition and the sro collaborative, Market Street<\/a> for the masses, the Compton Coalition<\/a> and city side and Mayors Office<\/a> of housing and Community Development<\/a> and staff that are here today, our Department Much<\/a> real estate, the Planning Department<\/a> and o ewd staff and City Attorney<\/a> and our project sponsor and team for working so closely with our community. We do have updated numbers based on some of the questions and concerns that came up at Land Use Committee<\/a> today which i know Committee Members<\/a> have, and i just received additional amendments that we do want to make to item number 4 that were result of discussion with mohcd to codify we intend for the Affordable Housing<\/a> development to be offered to individuals and families with income of 40 ami or lower and intend the Affordable Housing<\/a> at the site provide preference for tenants in city supported housing for at least three years and they havent have all of the subsidy for the development on the site but do our best efforts to secure the gap funding so just to be clear because there were concerns about a gap in the Affordable Housing<\/a> project and a gap for 101 hyde as well. While we pushed with both developers they were able to commitment to 25 off site which is greater what was previously gathered at 20 however it didnt cover the gap on both deals but we have an analysis that shows the gap for this project at 180 jones is lower than 101 hide which the board supported last year so with that these are the amendments that i am hoping the committee will make. I will make sure each of the Committee Members<\/a> get a copy of these amendments during Public Comment<\/a>, and if there are no further questions chair farrell i ask that we open up for Public Comment<\/a>. Thank you supervisor kim, so and thank you for those amendments and we will be taking care of them after Public Comment<\/a>. You know last week at the hearing on this item and my colleagues on the committee would join me on this wasnt comfortable moving this ordinance forward with the information in front of us, and perhaps i am too used to be at Budget Committee<\/a> and harvey rose is present presenting for the board of supervisors and last week there was a memo is that showed ordinance had a two and a half Million Dollars<\/a> profit to the developer and just to be clear im not here to decide the profit for the developer but i am here to make sure that Development Deals<\/a> made outside of a Development Process<\/a> agreement are fully vetted. If we are exempting projects with the money its important policy decision and i am glad to entertain those when we talk about the community that came forward and wanted Affordable Housing<\/a> in the neighborhood but i want to make sure that the city gets an adequate return and the best deal possible and frankly the way we went about this we were holding housing hostage in the city and its not the right approach. Last week when i raised questions about the profit and the departments and the developer couldnt have agreement on the numbers so we didnt have the information in front of us and thanks to the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing and the developer and the planning for over the last week working with my office and i believe my colleagues as well to do a further dive on the analysis up to about an hour and a half ago i was on the phone running through excel sheet wts developers finance team to unpack the data in front of us and reality is today or two months ago we have completely numbers from the city staff. I want to run through the numbers but quite frankly from a process perspective and from a Land Use Committee<\/a> perspective let alone the full board of supervisors perspective that simply doesnt work, so Going Forward<\/a> supervisor tang and i and the rest of my colleagues will join us and introduce legislation to make sure we have a full analysis of these projects done before they come to Land Use Committee<\/a> where there are numbers that our City Department<\/a>s will stand behind both at the time of production as well as two, three months down the road and to make sure that again if we do not have projects going through a full vetting of a Development Agreement<\/a> that we make sure we have full information here at the Land Use Committee<\/a> before approving these projects so with that i know my colleagues actually have comments they want to make but after that i am going to be asking ms. Kate hardly about the updated numbers and walk through that and ms. Rogers from the Planning Department<\/a>, additional items to add in and give you the opportunity to walk through the numbers as well so we will talk through the numbers and the differences from a few months ago but before they will turn it over to my colleagues and first supervisor peskin. Thank you chair farrell and i want to echo the chairmans words as it relates to process but to put them in a little bit of context, and let me start by saying that over the last number of years the vast majority of Residential Development<\/a> that has occurred in San Francisco<\/a> has occurred in district 6 in supervisor kims district, and i am profoundly aware that supervisor kim has used her office and worked with various departments including but not limited to planning and the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing to push the envelope to make sure that the community is getting the most Public Benefit<\/a> in the form of Affordable Housing<\/a> that is possible, and in deed it is i think has been an example time and again when we were back in the dark days of 12 on site inclusionary where supervisor kim showed us in projects that the required Development Agreement<\/a>s or not we could provide housing for workers, for teachers and so i want to salute that. As to process and i am not patting myself on the back when i say this. There has been something lacking and to that end that was one of the reasons that the board albeit it did not pass forward to the full board with a positive forwarded to the department on housing and whether public or private deals could actually get that level of scrutiny. So that supervisor kim wouldnt be doing it all on her own as she was pushing the envelope to get us more Affordable Housing<\/a> so i do conquer Going Forward<\/a> and i hope this is meant in the spirit it is given that we will actually come together so that we make sure were not leaving any money on the table, and the questions that i asked last week and some of my colleagues asked were really about whether or not there was money being left on the table. I conservation cur that develop concur that Developers Get<\/a> into this to make money and it doesnt hurt my feelings when they do that and thats when developers do but it hurts my feelings so we could get more Affordable Housing<\/a> or closing a project whether at 180 jones street or on market has the maximum feasible amount of Affordable Housing<\/a>. We dont have a crisis in luxury units in San Francisco<\/a>. We have a crisis in low income and middle income units and i think that is what supervisor kim has been trying to solve for, so i hope that Going Forward<\/a> the board can actually have a conversation so we dont have what we saw here last week and i mean no offense to the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing or planning but it was highly siloized and clearly not the level of communication and the numbers were clarified and a lot of that has been done in the intervening week and made me more comfortable but as the hearing going on we have questions about presumed Interest Rates<\/a> and crystal bale things that we can ask but the lizon Going Forward<\/a> we should have higher level of procedural oversight as the one off deals with created in the public interest. Supervisor tang. Thank you and i will just definitely echo what supervisor peskin and farrell said and of course i want to thank supervisor kim and her office for as supervisor peskin mentioned just always looking out for the district and make making sure we can get the best deal and we know shes a tough negotiator but i think what this committee was pointing to last week was not about this project on jones or market. It was about a larger idea of transparency and making sure there is information independently vetted whether by department or outside parties so really thats the point we were trying to get at but conceptually i can speak for the agreement that we know the committee and the agreement is the best for the neighborhood and i will leave it at that so we can move on with the hearing. Thank you. Okay. With that we have a number of speaker cards and but ask kate hardly to go through the letter with updated numbers and so were clear on what the updates numbers do say. Good afternoon. I would like to begin by saying that we agree. We have a process in place in the city to analyze transactions where theres some concessions or variations from the legislation for real estate and Development Agreement<\/a> and the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing participates in the agreements regularly and scrutinized by the legislative and Budget Analyst Office<\/a> and were more than happy to do that sort of work and we do think that its a great way to make sure that each transaction that moves forward is maximizing Affordable Housing<\/a>, offering a fair return to developers, but that were very clear on what the numbers are, so before you go on i just want to say in the course of our discussions, our discussion and my discussions with other Department Heads<\/a> over the past week since going through this rigamarole last week everyone is in agreement that we need a Better Process<\/a> so i look forward getting that legislation through so the Land Use Committee<\/a> is dealing with facts when we have everything in front us and no one is pointing fingers and i think thats where we all want to be. Sounds good to me. So i have copies of the letters i sent you via email this morning. I am happy to provide hard copies. You have them . Okay. So essentially supervisor farrell you asked us to further investigation into the research that we did in december regarding 180 jones and 950 market. At the time we use the information we had to assess the terms of this transaction and whether it made sense. There were a lot of moving parts and we did the best we could with the information that we had. As you have described in december we found that the difference between the developers surplus and that is you know, i use that in sort of not standard way because we dont have our we dont have information on the entirety of this transaction which includes a hotel but it looks like the developer had a benefit of 2. 4 million if the developer provided funding to the off site versus just building on site inclusionary. The developer rebutted that assessment on december 15 and said a few really important things. One is that we were using sales cost inflation factor of 3. 9 which was too aggressive given what the market did in 2016. Also there were some policy questions about whether the developer should be exempt from the gray water system requirements as well as whether a fee applied for tdr Transferrable Development<\/a> rights was appropriate and whether we should be looking at the developer getting a benefit by instead of all of the section 4 15 inclusionar y fees up front at First Construction<\/a> document which is is typical and required under this section instead deferring a portion of the fees, approximately 11 million, until temporary certificate of occupancy sorry. Excuse me. Supervisor peskin had a few questions. If you want to go through the numbers i just have questions of taking a snapshot in time for 2016 as compared to using a half decade worth of data and while the market may have flattened although its kind of hard for us to believe given that we just got our six month report from the controller and 2016 had the highest ever in the history of the city and county collection of real estate transfer tax and we are way over on property tax, so intuitivity i dont know if this type of unit flattened a lot bit in 2016, but intuitively if the 3. 9 number goes back to 2010 which was at that point we were coming out of the recession when nobody could get finance dispg what have it it seems a little dangerous to start using 1. 2 . Im happy to solve this in other ways conceptually and including but not limited to the return on investment and the exercise fundamentally is what is the difference of the 31 on site units and however many 60 to 88 off site units and if the developer is making more is something to think about but were getting twice as many units. And there are lots of ways to skin it but im not sure if taking that number is the way to get there. Well, its a hard thing to argue. I think you could commission a full market study and come up with a number that is appropriate. The developer proposed 1. 2 based upon and then provided market data from polaris that showed there was actual decline in sales prices in 2016 for the building type theyre proposing to build. In addition, we looked at information from parra gone real estate group, trillia, other market watcher who is are consistently evaluating the data and they all confirmed there was for this building type especially one and two bedroom units a plateauing and even a sales price decline. In addition these reports are showing because of increased inventory there isnt so strong a market. Now is 1. 2 the right number . I cannot tell you and that is thats something that you know its a prediction and its something that you know deeper study could probably provide a better answer, but theres definitely contradictory data showing that you had ten, 15, 17 price appreciation between 2010 year over year and 2015 and the plateauing and then saw a drop in sales prices for this. Will that continue . Its hard to say. Well, i think ms. Hardly to further supervisor peskins comments though what were being asked to approve though is literally putting our finger on a number and saying specifically that this is what we agree is the growth rate and the pricing increase for the next two and a half years, and so and we can talk about the merits and have further discussion about it. I for one i am mixed about that. One, i cant believe it on one side given what we have gone through in the city and talk about affordability issues. However, given the amount of meaning on line, given supply demand i am excited if that is the truth, but you know as we talk through as i work with the developer through the Financial Model<\/a> and share with my colleagues on this committee its a very big difference what the developer is getting and not if we agree 1. 2 versus 2. 4 and the developer. 2 i am sure you will run through it if we are the you speak theyre losing a few hundred thousand dollars on this because of this ordinance, but if we actually think its 2. 4 doubling sounds like a lot but in the grand scheme of things and housing is projecting that much in the city of San Francisco<\/a> and project it out and many before would have said its true and then at 2. 4 theyre getting a benefit of 500,000 and thats my point last week. I dont want to grant legislation and giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars and the additional benefits. Lets get creative but make it cost neutral for the developer so i think while its difficult the point is though today were having to decide what that point in the sand is so thats why i think this discussion is going to be an interesting one. Well, i think there are ways to address that. We can commission a better market study then just sort of cursory review of the materials and i think its important to look at the entirety of the transactions, so they originally came forward in support of this because we were acknowledging the communitys desire to have the 68 units built at a lower affordability rate than 31 condos on site. Granted we wanted to make sure there was no additional benefit related to the developer in that that was adverse to Affordable Housing<\/a> so a lot of turns on the inflation rate which we have to make a guess on. Even a full market study we will make a guess. In addition since the time that we did our additional analysis in december the developer provided another Million Dollars<\/a> in gift funds beyond the 2 million they previously committed to and there are the questions of the applicability of a tdr amendment as well as whether we should be looking at the delay and the payment at tco between First Construction<\/a> documents and tco as something that needs to be applied against the developers contribution, so when you put all those together with the projected sales prices thats really the analysis that we need to consider, and as we said in our last letter to you if you assume a 1. 2 inflation rate then its about break even between on site and off site, but if you say if you decide as policy makers that the benefit that there really shouldnt be a benefit conferred or a benefit applied to the developer because theyre not paying their fee right at First Construction<\/a> documents as is typical in a section 4 15 in lieu payment. Then theyre actually spending approximately 1. 8 million more to do the off site development. Now, if you say 1. 2 inflation on the condos sales prices is too low and go to 2. 4 then you would have a different outcome and were more than happy to continue this analysis and give a variety of scenarios that bring in all of those elements, but there are some policy questions that have to be determined as part of that. Okay. Do you want to run through your analysis and just the comparison because i think its helpful for everybody. So when we went back we took the data that we saw on the marketplace also with the developer claimed that we were too aggressive in the Price Inflation<\/a> and revised the market rate theyre projecting. We also failed to account for financial carrying costs for the developer from tco to the point where the sales was completed. We didnt have an absorption rate or the cost of funds were at that time. We now know what it is and so theyre actually going to have to spend about 800,000 in interest in order to borrow the money to make the section 4 15 payment. We kept the gray water system credit and the tdr credit the same but now that we know what their money costs we also gave them an additional we also applied an additional benefit to them for not having to pay their fee at First Construction<\/a> documents. They increased their gift to the city by a Million Dollars<\/a> since the first analysis, and as you add and subtract all the credits and debits it came out to about a 260,000 loss to the developer if they provided money for Inclusionary Development<\/a> at 180 jones street. Again there are some policy questions here that should inform that analysis about the tdr, about the requirement to pay the fee at First Construction<\/a> versus tco, and about gray water, and we tried to lay those out for you in the letter, and that is where we landed. Okay. Thank you ms. Hardly. Colleagues if no other questions we have planning planning. Im sorry. I wanted to say one thing. We have staff here that has information about these issues. Maybe this is for planning and my understanding along the way the job linkage fee was calculated originally at 1. 4 million and subsequently 400,000. What is the behind the scene story on that. Good afternoon. I have some of the behind the scene story but supervisor kim knows more than i do. The ordinance introduced included a original job link am fee and a guess on the fee and shows how complicated to figure out the real value a deal such as this because thats the straight fee and the drafter of the ordinance didnt require when we would assess the fee we would give credit for existing office use that need to pay the fee so in this case the existing use on the site would credit the developer for a. 9 million credit so due . 9 million in actual job linkage fee. So they got a credit for on site use so you have to pay for the impact of the higher intensity use but if you have already that use on the site you dont have to pay because youre not increasing the intensity. You only pay for the amount youre increasing the intensity. So the final job link an number was . 9 million. [inaudible] [off mic] thank you to the experts in the audience. So it went. 08 to 400,000. Because of the credits. I like the other number better. Sorry. Supervisor kim. Just to talk about the amendments we made to the ordinance. The originally ordinance was for 18. 8 million and this was under the assumption that the linkage fee was that amount and however through extensive conversations with the developer knows there is a gap on the jones site the developer and i worked out a deal and despite the reduction shes stay paying off well, were waiving the job link an fee and instead of the reduction its 700,000 reduction so she wanted to make sure there was a gift above what is required and that is codified in the ordinance that is before us today. Just a couple of things though. I just want to concur with the Land Use Committee<\/a>. I would love for there to be a consistent assessment of all of the land use Development Deals<\/a>. It has been incredible work for my staff and office that feel that the vast majority of the developments in the city to make sure were getting a fair deal for the city and making sure were building as much as Affordable Housing<\/a> as well as contributions to arts and open space and Pedestrian Safety<\/a> and the whole multitude of things we care about when building healthy and complete neighborhoods with the vast amount of development, but you know we do have to run our own numbers and we depend on a lot of Community Members<\/a> through the Affordable Housing<\/a> developers to help us with numbers to make sure were","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia601501.us.archive.org\/8\/items\/SFGTV_20170217_090000_Fire_Commission_2817\/SFGTV_20170217_090000_Fire_Commission_2817.thumbs\/SFGTV_20170217_090000_Fire_Commission_2817_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240627T12:35:10+00:00"}
