(rustling of papers.) >> commissioners no additional questions, i'll need a motion. >> madam chair. >> hi, good afternoon i have a couple of quick questions about the parks ph and p 19 and the design for the lot b bridgeview way in terms of be a through fair for pedestrians and or just for cars? >> p 19 and or just bridgeview way. >> i think that is bridgeview way the one. >> yeah. so the one we're discussing this will not be open

to cars but as for emergency vehicles and . >> may i have /* if i may through the chair they're not being suite to this amendment but remain with the parks. >> i want to ask as well as i know some discussions prior about what was happening in terms of the street will be available for regular cars was only emergency vehicles so also how will that impact the traffic in that area around game time we're open for residents living in that area and already a bottleneck issue. >> when the transportation studies did an analysis and looked at the hours for mission

bay and the event center and neither of the projects um, traffic study looked at the average through fair and during that pco on aerial streets of third street and 16 street with the traffic out of there this was really a design 20 years ago was intended to be at the almost an alleyway time on each side for traffic so garages and see what happens. that was our thought of looking at this are we looking at the design. and removing the local traffic that is no longer needed. >> i had a question about that i know that, you know, sfmta and

t v y for directing traffic to the major arteries as created a bottleneck and sometimes a pedestrian safety issue but they through the thoroughfare and in terms of like also how this impact also future streets will be or the plan to continue to only have those major arteries as they move into at areas that are for the streets to remain closed off as well. >> no place expansions for the exciting streets this is the last remaining segment and any further changes. >> this one is spelled out from the parking lot.

>> to the north not signalized so like a direct though out of there and a future mission bay development parking garages but also an open to 3100 across the street and 60 stoops on 9 a a thoroughfare those are designs not like a regular street but pedestrian area like the one to the south there isn't that protective measure creating a removing the vehicle access safer for pedestrians and for

the chase center or up to the ball park. >> and then any future plans for potentially putting a stop sign and/or street lights or anything that connects with the garages knowing will be an increase in um, you know, car traffic in that area and- >> (multiple voices). >> will go specifically on the parking directional workers usually on the main streets kind of here in way of the streets. >> i know there was an early design that mission rock a crosswalk with the light there. has not been any future designs with the preliminary for mission rock didn't show that presented back in 2019 to 9 designs are 2022 shows that but i believe a

stop sign on the other side of mission rock at the mission rock on mission rock. >> um, then has sfmta we can do better in on that with the dedication safety plan they have a safety plan to make sure that the streets have zero dedicates or opposite related anything in the eir about that as well. >> there was not - we haven't consulted with sfmta on that but they hired a traffic consultant and review beyond the level of significant to warrant a environmental impact report and can you pull your mic up a little bit. >> thank you so much. sir. >> but if anything this would increase the vision zero by

removing that um, vehicle access. >> thank you. >> for further questions. >> so - >> thank you so much. for your presentation. >> um, i just to add i support what the chair brackett commencement on but feedback i live in the area so um, i do ride my bike through that area lot b or lot a but um, i think a great feature it is to more; isn't that so gives it more visually um, comfortable i guess i don't know if it is the word but i think that is a great asset to the area and the surrounding area. i think that

is save to ride my bike i've done that by chair brackett mentioned making sure that there is visibility when our crossing on bike or pedestrian they can see the drivers can see either a cyclist dog walker or someone walking a dog or a game to see them making sure they're driving slow pretty much but other than that that's my feedback thank you. (rustling of papers.) >> dr. scott um, i'd like to over a friendly amendment to that. >> um, upon review of that staff will meet with sfmta and

just to make sure this complies with the vision zero safety. um, requirements for um, the streets and um, there is a future plan for mediation for when the parking structure comes in place and with the responsibility will be to provide public safety monitoring in this area (rustling of papers.) and i believe we can do that substantially engage with - to make sure this is not impacting we'll be happy to follow up with mta and get back to you. >> thank you. >> thank you, thank you for the amendment. >> commissioners there are no additional questions, i'll need

a motion now. on item 5 b. >> make a move. >> motion to approve item 5 b with the suggested amendment. >> may i get a second? >> i second the motion. >> madam secretary, please take roll. >> commissioners announce your vote. >> commissioner aqunio, yes. >> a commissioner drew, yes. >> commissioner lim, yes. >> vice chair ransom-scott, yes. >> chair brackett, aye. >> the vote is 5 i's. >> the motion carries. >> madam secretary, please call the next item. call the next item. next is. >> 5c. approving a budget for the period july 1, 2024, through

june 30, 2025, and authorizing the executive director to submit the budget and interim budget to the mayor's office and the board of supervisors. resolution no. 09-2024. >> executor director kasiofsky thank you, madam secretary and commissioners members of the public it is once again a hearing on the commission hearing on the budget our budget is 6 had and $85 million for funds for the affordable housing and community infrastructure and projects areas and hunters point and transbay. >> commissions had work shop on may 2nd and after this this is we go forward going to the mayor's office and work with them to the board of supervisors which has the final approval for the budget in may and june and presented by the project manager at ocii. thank you, director.

>> good afternoon commissioners chair brackett and vice chair ransom-scott i'm here to present this for the july 1, 2024, through june 30, 2025. >> so we wanted to provide more detail on the process in response to the questions we received to workshop and our annual process begins with the obligation schedule and the rops in august this is our state budget governed by the obligations of the rops for the budget early in the fiscal year and the funding the city's interest it in our proposing a generally about two percent of annual budget and prioritized use of our bond proceeds followed by your use of - has

for example, bonds or fees in transbay more affordable housing we can only use it for that purpose and the budget 80 percent is multi capital budgets for the affordable housing and infrastructure projects. and preliminarily fund by the bond proceeds and typically the entire budget in the first year and see three decrease as the project progresses each has an underlying agreement we call the obligations. and the and only use that for debt service additionally two distributions of pi ti in june and december last january request had is needed so this is a have i involved process both internally

within the xhoechld and we'll work with the project manager's and what is needed and this is lower than the biggest we'll ask the controllers we only need $9 million. after the year close the city xhoechld will audit that and the p ti draw in the opportunity year we're operating in a highly regulated environments so by the project manager and the xhoechldz and the department of finance twice a year we provide 5 years um, to the kroechldz and - the city

knows had savings that available and 2023-24 we reduce it by 25 percent of budgeted amount so this slide shows a timeline for the planning process again, the rops begins in august and this is not until january we bring the workshop before the accountant board and submit to the department of finance and prepare the work with the budget and the financial system and bring this budget to you in april and to the budget office and the board of supervisors. >> so your local and state budget we try to keep them as consist as possible for audit to prevent audit rops this is a detailed budget and the

contracts begin with the description of scope and to the planning and obligation for the types of funds and again, this is reviewed by the - and line by line analysis and have the analyst for the last couple of years a continuation of prior year and actually inventory of our contracts and documents we just want things as available and additionally as i mentioned our actuals are reviewed by the department of finance and to make sure we fund under authority and use the facts the rops has a very restrictive amendment and can only apply for the second half of year and in time to make changes puts constraints on our planning

process. i mentioned reprovide a 5-year snapshot to the controller's office for the ms. recent one provided we are in regular and consistent communication with the controller's office about the far looking needs twice a year and any changes from the projects have explanation and in the needs we reduces that by 5 percent of budget. >> so this table shows year over year by the same table we presented at the workshop and $23 million driven by the place all of the bond proceeds in the 2023-24 and this is less than we

set by the increase of debts in the financials. >> this table shows the year by year the same table we presented to yip and again, $27.3 million. >> and this is a year to year look at the - the bottom half of the table as you can see the changes in the uses so again, the increases are based on the pension costs that are based on an tier schedule with the cost of living for the union contracts. this is a summary on the left hand column and think 0 the top row it is $600,850,000

from a prior authority that is an expenditure from the prior year affordable housing loans and other projects and the largest type of in transbay for the affordable housing. >> again, the action item is budget for the period july 1, 2024, through june 30, 2025, and authorizing the executive director to submit the k3wir78 budget to the board of supervisors. >> that concludes my presentation. thank you. thank you. >> madam secretary do we have anyone from the public who wishes to provide a comment? >>

of team. >> (calling names.) >> and grace stand up. >> the amount of work that goes on in my two years here as director to understand what is going on into the work not that visible and you ask those questions and get into the report what is the report saying it looked like and all that stuff is intriguing and robust but the city and state that practical about the payment another way to keep track of all the counties i want to acknowledge the work and how um, detailed they are. thank you very much for that. >> and want to update you on two items as well and the commission last year and i think that is november of 2023 authorized the question for for the mission bay on third street.

and the development teams 100 percent affordable housing projects. and it was the first rfp after the passage of sb 523 replacing the hours in the vision for identification that rfp - rfq and received four submittals a highly qualified team and needle in the haystack recommending a team to be brought forward curtis with the senior services and va studio and charmane is the led person the principle at curtis development and an excellent track record in the city and oakland with the high quality affordable housing and the team

submittal stood out but responsiveness to the direct to focus on preference he holders a direction from the commission and the decendents and practical approach to scheduling and finance trip up a lot of the the available projects that go over budget. both of the development and the design leads with african-american and they're african-american led firms and committed to opportunities for people of color in the field in the housing project itself so you'll see this project before you i believe an may 21st the next step to the mission bay advisory committee so the panels. let you know about that and related to housing the commission is asked about housing fairs and his or her expos will be operating in a

housing expo in may excuse me - may 18th saturday may 18th will be sf expo 2024 button by homeowner sf for home buyers and rental opportunities and um, all the housing counseling agencies will be there and ocii e earnings partnering with mo acd the address if you're ready. >> 1520 oakdale avenue hunters point. >> 1520 hunters point. >> do we know what time. >> didn't have a start time but i'll get you the start time. thank you very much. >> and then finally to offer up a quick additional update on

employment engagement one of the things we had our first housing retreat last update on the budget but have a broader enhancement as well and started the first quarterly all hand senior staff meeting and invite the senior staff up, up to all staff and give information and they can ask questions so talk about other employment development issuance joined by the hr administrator manager for ocii. >> thank you. >> executor director kasiofsky and chair brackett and vice chair and commissioners, i want to give you more a little bit of context in detail. on um, last commission meeting we provided a brief synopsis of march 22nd

retreat and also fiscal year fiscal year 2024-25 for employee engagement i want to take the opportunity to provide color about what we're planning to do. so at the retreat some of the questions for staff how you feel connected to the work that we do? the value that we do and the agency does as you can see our work the agents work for the affordable housing, public goods like infrastructure and park and community development to our community requires our staff to operate at the highest level. and so a common theme we heard from the staff was they shared the deep um, connection to the work. um, that is that's why they're able to produce the high quality of work but the value of work that was happening in the

year so this work also reimburses the agency leadership to make sure that staff is valued, supported and we make tackle investments in the professional and personal development. one of so during the up and coming future we build on the momentum at the retreat by making investment and training and development and work culture. so for example, we'll be doing brown bags one of the first steps in the financing is doing right now it related to the best practices as it relates to the payable and making sure we're operating and have the back up to do all we do to pass the audits and things like that. um, and we're going to

reintroduce and have work shop on respect workplace culture to make sure that everyone is seen and heard we operate as a good culture of people. executive director spoke about we said to make sure we have fun. so a social bonding activity and take advantage of of the great small businesses happening in our project areas. um, so kind of we want to explore and continue to do that um, the other thing we're doing on the h.r. division and with the leadership here as we know we participant in the racial equity plan as part of the citywide activities so one of the key things that is the focus of the racial equity relates to retention and promotion as with all public agencies ocii historically has a limited up

ward mobility he to the 10 and promotion happy an retirement of other attrition. so ocii is taking a look at and committed to creating an opportunity for continual learning and training and building skill sets to make sure that build they're capacity and look for ways for commercial opportunities vacated and happy to report over the past couple of years ocii has a significant process and promotional opportunities. and the past couple of years had a combination of 11 internal egg promotions and hires as a knowledge based on organization as the next step is we're going to suggest a career safer for a

process related to promotional professional development opportunities and also the efforts to to conclude target training plans for staff. and um, also the agent is building the pipeline for the future hires in collaboration with the mayor's office for all programs and human rights we're hosting three interims and a few in the department of police accountability where last year they helped the research for the certificate certificate of appropriateness and they'll help us and having one a cohort for the historic community of college universities. also happy to do that work and lastly, on a special note we're interviewing a social planner position one of

the candidates participated in the professional design program so that work is that's the fruit of that work i'm happy to see that so this concludes the summary of the employee engagement and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> or provide updates on activities at the request of the commission. thank you very much. >> thank you for the wonderful report. >> pardon me and that concludes the executive director portion of agenda. >> that gives a bright light at the end of the tunnel wouldn't you say so mr. james. >> yes. thank you very much.. >> i have a question for monica. >> yes. madam chair. >> i know that most of our kind of profess called internships

are out of high school and college ready do we have any future plans for the high school students to kind of get that push through usc partners with opportunity for that all um, other it be being able to come in and in an h.r. to shadow working towards that as well or trying to perfect the college before we (unintelligible). >> thank you, chair. that's a great question. we have in the past prior to the pandemic we need the host some high school students um, there the opportunities for all programs. they really helped in the records department and shadowed that i think in collaboration with the executive director we can definitely building from go

before college and living that and thank you very much. and we're doing that in the future. >> and then i also noticed one of the things you're mentioning in terms of ways to give me with um, current staff and future staff did you guys have 100 percent percent at the retreat or - >> i want to say there was three people out of the 35 approved out of 10 we have very, very good participation and. okay. >> i was happy to participate. >> and as commissioners might want to (unintelligible). >> (laughter.) >> wouldn't it be nice if we could come that is wonderful to have an organization business or commission. that cares about the

employees. and trains those around them to care before each other and have fun. and to really not just pull up work bees i like that but really make sure your work with the whole person and not just the work they're doing. i'm so impressed so moved for this 2i9 report i want to call that history i've not heard about a report like this you believe you did something historical and keep up the good work, keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> fellow commissioners? >> next item the first order of business. >> 9. commissioners' questions and matters. vice chair.

>> fellow commissioners any thing you'd like to comment on. >> i want to comment on that and say thank you to um, (unintelligible). >> um, over the past couple of weeks and express those are chair of me losing my daughter thank you to everyone i appreciateal the cards and stuff so, thank you. >> . >> anyone else and madam secretary and to my fellow commissioners. before we finally

gardens here in the portola. >> i have been coming to the portola garden tour for the past seven or eight years ever since i learned about it because it is the most important event of the neighborhood, and the reason it is so important is because it links this neighborhood back to its history. in the early 1800s the portola was farmland. the region's flowers were grown in this neighborhood. if you wanted flowers anywhere future bay area, you would come to this area to get them. in the past decade, the area has tried to reclaim its roots as the garden district. one of the ways it has done that is through the portola garden tour, where neighbors open their gardens open their gardens to

people of san francisco so they can share that history. >> when i started meeting with the neighbors and seeing their gardens, i came up with this idea that it would be a great idea to fundraise. we started doing this as a fund-raiser. since we established it, we awarded 23 scholarships and six work projects for the students. >> the scholarship programs that we have developed in association with the portola is just a win-win-win situation all around. >> the scholarship program is important because it helps people to be able to tin in their situation and afford to take classes. >> i was not sure how i would stay in san francisco. it is so expensive here. i prayed so i would receive

enough so i could stay in san francisco and finish my school, which is fantastic, because i don't know where else i would have gone to finish. >> the scholarships make the difference between students being able to stay here in the city and take classes and having to go somewhere else.

we thought about opening downtown but couldn't afford it and a landlord [indiscernible] this was a awesome opportunity for us to get our foot in here. >> the agency is the marriage between a conventional art gallery and fine art agency. i'm victor gonzalez the founder of gcs agency. thes program is especially important for small business because it extended huge life line of resources, but also expertise from the people that have gathered around the vacant to vibrant program. it is allowed small businesses to pop up in spaces that have previously been fully unaccessible or just out of budget. vacant to vibrant was funded by

a grant from the office of economic workforce development that was part of the mayor's economic recovery budget last year so we funded our non profit partners new deal who managed the process getting folks into these spaces. >> [indiscernible] have been tireless for all of us down here and it has been incredible. certainly never seen the kind of assistance from the city that vacant to vibrant has given us, for sure. >> vacant to ibvooerant is a important program because it just has the opportunity to build excitement what downtown could be. it is change the narrative talking about ground floor vacancy and office vacancy to talking about the amazing network of small scale entrepreneur, [indiscernible] >> this is a huge opportunity

that is really happy about because it has given me space to showcase all the work i have been doing over the past few years, to have a space i can call my own for a extended period of time has been, i mean, it is incredible. >> big reason why i do this is specific to empower artist. there are a lot of people in san francisco that have really great ideas that have the work ethics, they just don't have those opportunities presented, so this has been huge lifeline i think for entrepreneurs and small businesses. >> this was a great program for us. it has [indiscernible] opening the site. we benefited from it and i think because there is diverse and different [indiscernible] able to be down here that everybody kind of benefits from it.
