This is about cameras and actually installing more cameras is this to meet the faa standards, or is this actually exceeding the faa standards . I dont believe this is a an faa standard. Component that would have to do with the faa. This is throughout the entire airport. It is consolidating our Security Camera infrastructure system into one point of access.

Thank you. Before you is a property across the street on grove. The city owns a tshaped property consisting of 240 vanness, 155 and 165 grove street. About 9,000 square feet. The two buildings that are improved on the site have been deemed not historical, are registered in the vacant abandoned yielding program and are generally unsafe from seismic performance standpoint and are not occupied. The garden was located at 1625 grove street i was a collaboration between the city and two nonprofits. Currently it is unused today. All of the properties were declared surplus in 2015. In 2016, the analyzation of suitability for development as 100 Affordable Housing, pursuant to the Surplus Property regulations i found them to be infeasible for then in 2017, the city provided notice to local and state organizations as an opportunity for Affordable Housing development with no response. Under the direction of then mayor ed lee, the city was invited to participate in a global Net Zero Energy develop a program hosted by the sea 40 climate city Leadership Group known as reinventing cities. The city included the subject properties and to the competition. The city received three strong proposals for the use of this property in may have 2018. And a team of ten experts including some in the city and some outside of the city, including architects and housing experts rated the proposals in the spring of this year. Following a subsequent vetting of the two remaining highest ranking proposals, before you is the final recommendation for reward of an exclusive negotiating agreement. The most responsive bidder is a team led by the kelseys, supported by mercy housing on the architectural firm. Their proposal is to develop 102 units of affordable inclusively designed rental housing on the site in a building of six stories over basement that would be no heavy vicki akil are parking bikes. Twentyone of those units will be set aside for the disabled which would be a substantial increase of new construction, affordable units tailored specifically to the disabled community. Fiftyone of the units would be priced for occupants at no more than 100 of ami, 30 units at 80, and ten for disabled only at 50 and 11 for disabled only at 13. The unit mix would be 90 studios , five one, five twobedrooms. In addition to the Inclusive Housing for the disabled which is the kelseys founding mission, staff supports this project due to the extreme affordability levels achieved, the integrated garden design and as well as seeing all the energy and sustainability targets which was the focus of the global competition. Laying out the milestones to ensure the proposal remains fiscally viable while the project enters the entitlement phase. The proposal assumes no initial funding from the city and anticipates the use of our standard longterm ground lease we deploy routinely for Affordable Housing projects. The negotiation term of the ena is 45 months. During which the Development Team must meet the Community Outreach design, entitlements and fundraising goals as stated in the agreement. If they remain in conformance to have the opportunity to secure ground lease from the city. That ground lease will come before the board, and the mayor for approval. I will be prior to two advancing the project. The current for late 2023. If you have any questions i am a from the kelsey. Could we have the bla report please . The proposed resolution would approve an exclusive negotiating agreement between the city mercy housing for surplus City Property on grove street and van ness avenue. We are reporting on this because the negotiating agreement does set the rent for the future ground lease which is subject to board approval of 15,000 per year. Considering this to be low market rent. It is consistent with the city policy to have ground lease set in these terms. We will be reporting further on this project when it comes forward for the actual ground lease including any kind of city finance that might be added to the project. We recommend approval of this resolution. Thank you very much. If it comes back to final approval for the ground lease, at a later date, is that the term that at 15,000 . So we are being made aware of what the ground leases being proposed that we still have to prove it at a later date gulf that is correct. Okay, i happen to, two nights before this made public i happened to bump into a family that was talking about what the city was doing on behalf of the disabled community and what we could do to build more housing and more accessible housing. I was really encouraged and excited to see this announcement made public right after that. Make sure to refer them to this. Obviously it is a few years out. I think the location has been sitting there for some time. What a wonderful way to provide something for a community that is completely, almost invisible even in the Affordable Housing world, right . We have very little of the housing. I think there is one site south of market. To have this in an area on civic center that is accessible to many Different Things in transportation as well as a seat of government, i think is a im really hopeful that everything will be done to expedite this process. We appreciate the department of real estate putting this offer proposal and negotiating good faith in them mercy and kelsey coming forward with a great proposal. Hopefully we will be able to realize this very quickly. Thank you very much. Lets open this up for public comment. Any members of the public like to comment on item number four . Public comment is i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. Thank you very much. Madame clerk can you please call item number five. Item five, 191110.

Items acted upon today will appear on the december 10 board of supervisors meeting, not december 3. No further business. Thank you very much. We are adjourned. Hi. My name is carmen chiu, San Franciscos elected assessor. In our seven mile by seven mile city, we have over 210,000 properties and close to 90 of their are residential like the homes you and i live in, so you might ask, how can we possibly value all these properties . Well, to better understand our work, we need to explain the states proposition 13 law. In 1978, california voters passed proposition 13. Under prop 13, we value your property at market value when you first buy it. Every year after, that value goes up by the c. P. I. Or the California Consumer price index. But if the c. P. I. Is more than 2 , prop 13 caps the increase at 2 . Well walkthrough the maximum increases prop 13 would allow. Lets take a home with initial value of 400,000. In the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2 , growing from 400,000 to 408,000. In year three, that 408,000 is increased by 2 to roughly 416,000. Every year, the value grows by the maximum rate of 2 , and that is called your prop 13 value. Keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. What do we mean by that . Lets say over the last ten years, home prices in San Francisco have gone every roughly 10 every year. Despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2 growth creating a difference between your market value and prop 13 value. Know that the value recessed when theres a change in ownership. A change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. Maybe through a new owner. Maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. At that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. That value becomes a new starting point for the property. Just like before, the Growth Continues to be limited at 2 until the next transfer happens. Remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at the new level from the first day that they own it. Value might also be added when construction happens on your property. That would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2 . Here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value. Every july, well let you know what your assessed value is by sending you a letter called a notice of assessed value. You can use that information to estimate your property taxes early. Please note that a separate office called the treasurer Tax Collectors Office will send you a letter in october and theyre responsible 230r collections.

Im kate sosa. Im cofounder and ceo of sf made. Sf made is a Public Private partnership in the city of San Francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in San Francisco. Sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other Small Business support organizations who provide more generalized support. Everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. For example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide Small Business owners with education. We have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city Seas Partnership with Small Business, creating a 100 Company Selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or twoperson shop, and who dont have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help Companies Set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in San Francisco. Im amy kascel, and im the owner of amy kaschel San Francisco. We started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. San franciscos a great place to do business in terms of clientele. We have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. I think its important for them to know where their clothes are made and how theyre made. My name is jefferson mccarly, and im the general manager of the Mission Bicycle company. We sell bikes made here for people that ride here. Essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. Our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. We care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. When people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. Its a pretty fun shopping experience. Paragraph. For me as a designer, i love the control. I can see whats going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. Going through the suing room, im looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look . Is this what shes expecting, maybe if weve made a customization to a dress, which we can do because were making everything here locally. Over the last few years, weve been more technical. Its a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a Small Business owner. Sometimes its appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. We need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. Moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how theyre going to use it, whether its the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so thats the direction i hear at this point. The reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that were sharing the opportunities that weve been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that the goal is simple. Its to raise womens voices. Learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. We had own over 300 over 300 people who signed up for the oneonone counseling today. I think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. The Assessors Office is a big one. There are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. Our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in San Francisco. One of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2. 6 billion worth of revenue to the city. Often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. For every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. But i think what most people dont know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. So it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. So this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. Its an interesting place to be, i have to say. My colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. In my daytoday life, i dont think about that role, being the only Asian American assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of San Francisco well. By being the only Asian American assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. I hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background. I grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. When my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. They had very little money, and they didnt know how to speak english very well. They came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i cant imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. So my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. As we grew up, we eventually had a Small Business. I very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. We went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. It really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing Public Service the way that i do. One of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. We lived in Southern California at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. I can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. It was incredibly scary because we didnt know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. And i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. It stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. Make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. And then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why youre doing what youre doing, you know, i think you cant go wrong. Its funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. I became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, im shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, im sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. For many of us who are going through our Public Service, its very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader. Sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. And i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with out ways to work with people to get things done. I hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of City Government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. Take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the oneonone counseling. I wouldnt be where i was if i didnt have very strong people who believed in me. And even at times when i didnt believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do what i did. If there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether its being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think its really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful. Better. San Francisco Department of environment is a place where climate hits the street. We know that we dont have all the answers. We need to support our local champions, our local community to find Creative Solutions and innovations that help us get to zero waste. Zero waste is sending nothing to landfill or incineration, using reuse and recovery and prevention as ways to achieve zero waste. The Grant Program is a Grant Program specifically for nonprofits in San Francisco to divert material from landfill. Its important to find the San Francisco Produce Market because theres a lot of edible food that can be diverted and they need positions to capture that food and focus on food recovery. San francisco Produce Market is a resource that connects farmers and their produce with businesses in the bay area. I think its a basic human right to have access to healthy foods, and all of this food here is available. Its a matter of creating the infrastructure, creating jobs, and the system whereby none of this goes to waste. Since the beginning of our program in july 2016 to date, weve donated over 1 Million Pounds of produce to our community partners, and thats resulted in over 900,000 meals to people in our community, which were very proud of. Carolyn at the San Francisco Produce Market texts with old produce thats available. The produce is always excellent. We get things like broccoli, brussels sprouts, bell peppers. Everything that we use is nice and fresh, so when our clients get it, they really enjoy it, and its important to me to feel good about what i do, and working in programs such as this really provides that for me. Its helping people. Thats what its really about, and i really enjoy that. The work at the Produce Market for me representing the intersection between environment and community, and when we are working at that intersection, when we are using our resources and our passion and our energy to heal the planet and feed the people, nothing gets better than thank you for coming to the talent dance performance and talent show.
