Proposal passed with flying colors meeting all of the criteria and was recommended by approval unanimously both [speaker not understood] and Historic Preservation commission. Thank you. Thank you. Father tommy, would you like to come and comment as well . Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is father tommy [speaker not understood], the pastor at st. Bonafice church. We serve many critically and important [speaker not understood] in the tenderloin ~. The building itself is the tenderloins most distinctive and dominant landmark. Spiritually its a place of peace and tranquility. It also provides a place of rest for many San Francisco economically disenfranchised and homeless citizens. The architecture, the art and particularly the century old stain glassed windows provide humanizing beauty. And filled with dehumanizing poverty [speaker not understood]. During the day people come in to enjoy the beauty, the quiet for a chance to pray, meditate, or just gather their thoughts. The church is also hosted for nearly a decade now. It will be a project as supervisor kim mentioned. The project provides space in the back half of the church for people to sleep and rest during the day. Many of the people on the church pews were on the streets the night before because there were not adequate space for them in the shelters. Also having nowhere to go during the day at a time when the shelters are closed. Any given time during the weekdays, anywhere between 40 and 90 people resting in the pews of saint bonafice. You might imagine opening our doors to so many people takes a heavy toll on the building. We also provide one of the building to the [speaker not understood] academy, a private Catholic School which serves 4 through 8 grade students with families in the tenderloin area. Because parents only pay 50 per month, tuition is covered by scholarships. [speaker not understood] and advance to Sacred Heart Cathedral high school. Approximately 80 of them go on to college. For students in the tenderloin, that is an incredible statistic. The majority of the people is the [speaker not understood] serves are very poor. Many work two or three jobs just to cover the high cost of rent and to feed their families. Our parishioners are multicultural. Because of their high level of poverty, our parishionerses are able to contribute very little to the income of the church. As a result, we do not have adequate funds to cover the cost of preserving such a very large building. It what completed in 1902. The great earthquake of 1906 destroyed nearly the entire structure. Miraculously the main tower and two accompanying towers of the church remain standing. Those towers were incorporated into a new building constructed in 1907. Therefore, the church as it stands today includes the most prominent architectural feature from 1902 with remaining built from [speaker not understood] and upon ashes of the original building. The churchs most beautiful architectural ornaments are the stained glass windows. The 27 hand painted windows are designed by the premiere art glass designers in the world. The collection of the church represents only a few remaining complete examples of this genre of church he he in the united states. Having with stood past 105 years, the windows are now unstable. The [speaker not understood], the glass is cracking and many of them are in jeopardy of complete destruction. A recent proposal estimated the cost of restoration at about 2 million. As i mentioned earlier, the church barely has enough funds at any given time for substantial operating expenses. It would be impossible for the church with limited resources to begin such an immense financial undertaking as repairing these hand painted stain glass windows. To restore the stain glass, the church needs a new and substantial source of funds. If the church were allowed to sell Transferrable Development rights, we anticipate over time we would have sufficient funds to complete the restoration of all of our windows. Without those funds as a stained glass continues to crack and break, they will have to be replaced. If that occurs we will have no other option to put temporarily put plywood over the windows, [speaker not understood] clear glass. And if we can raise the money, that would certainly be a travesty. The church is a landmark worthy of preserving for all the citizens of San Francisco and particularly for the people that call the tenderloin their home. The church has long been known as the oasis of the tenderloin. Community sub for the for the proposed restoration has been overwhelming. This is the following list of the supporters. Tenderloin neighborhood development, Community Housing partnership, university of California Hastings College of law, Episcopal Community services, mercy housing, Saint Anthonys foundation, alliance for better district 6, tenants association, coalition, and San Francisco architectural heritage. We are also grateful to receive unanimous support from the Historic Preservation commission and as mentioned unanimous support from the San Francisco planning commission. This is a great cause and one that will help preserve this landmark for future generations. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for your presentation. Thank you, supervisor kim. At this point can we proceed with Public Comments . Okay. We will open it up for Public Comment on item number 2. I have no Public Comment cards. We have one, but then i got a note that this person will not speak, edward solesky. So, is there any Public Comment on item number 2 . Okay. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] and, supervisor kim, would you like to make a motion on item number 2 . Sure. I would like to make a motion to forward with positive recommendation. But again would like to thank all parties for their [speaker not understood] through this process. We want to be really careful when we expand on potential sites to the tdr program that we arent oversaturating, that we do have the framework by which we enter in other parcel. I think the church is a perfect example of the type of parcel we would like to support through the tdr program. It is both contiguous to the zone area and is also a Nonprofit Institution that serves such an important need in the tenderloin community. And i just want to note something that i really [speaker not understood] over christmas, the students actually do a free concert for any homeless residents to come to watch them sing and carol. And i think thats such a wonderful way for young people to learn how to give back at an early age. And again, it could be a project could be an amazing place. I wish more of our churches were able to did that. We have a limited amount of daytime dropin centers for homeless residents in our city, the good will project is really one of the few churches i know of that opens its doors to everyone in the city. Its just really just an amazing resource and i want to appreciate all the work that you do and really fulfilling your mission through your church. So, again, want to move this forward with positive recommendation. Okay. Supervisor kim has made a motion to move forward with positive recommendation and can we take that without objection . Yes, please. Okay, without objection, that will be the order. [gavel] madam clerk, is there any additional business before the committee . There is no further business. Okay, then we are adjourned. [gavel] thank you, everyone. [adjourned] in in this cfo memory i remember having cfo with mileanhour grorm and they were having sausage with my grorm. And i was six or seven and i made a face. When i was younger i had a preference for cfo i used to drink it but that did something to my body. Ive been Drinking Coffee since i was 17 role the only thing im good at i have trying to find my way through school i jousted coffee and decided to do that for the rest of my life i started looking into the process of the coffee and where it came from and where do those beans come from oh, they come from a fruit. The coach stays with me i grew up and one day im going to own a coffee shop i should at it in 98 i visited over 11 hundred coffee shops to see why people go to come over shops. Weve searched beans api all over the world tokyo and south america. When i wanted to do was get into every aspect of the coffee and real estate there was multiply steps of making a great cup of coffee. We do is revolt and thats because with the qualifies of coffee shop and once you revolted it it how far anyone elses and the coffee and one thing about the coffee they were special blends i create. I spent seven years on one blend. Each bean is all chemistry and blend with each culture and beans is like people beans and those people give me a reputation and it only happens fwhons a lifetime. Your clients love you and thats what happens. But then i fell in love a eternal hanging out at the coffee shops the coffee woosz terrible by the Community Aspects i initiated. I think its a important place to find your friends and people. You love my city San Francisco has a good name and a reputation and has every culture in this planet in San Francisco. Its a small city 7 by 7 but its huge. I role like the idea of staying in the neighborhood and after living here the entire time theres one thing thats important the people talk about seattle and they talk about seattle and San Francisco. Or portland and San Francisco. San francisco is definitely on the cuttingedge of coffee scene in the entire nation theres so much romance in coffee it is around the sourcing of it and how it got her its a complicated thing. I know for a pharynx born to make coffee i got it from my dad thats the life i live speaks for me. Lets have a cup of coffee and talk about it i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we dream and bring some of those dreams to life. I feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. There are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. Kindred spirits, so to speak. There is a Circus Company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. I use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. A lot of the work is content based, has a strong narrative. The dancers have more of a theatrical feel. I think we are best known for our specific work. In the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the africanamerican experience, here in the united states. I had heard of Marcus Shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. We were brought together by the equal Justice Society specifically for this project. We were charged with beginning work. Marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the Death Penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. Pulling our information. Beyond that, we did our own research. To create a picture that resonated with humanity. It is the shape of a house. In this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. I thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. What is home for these people . The home is their cell. People talk a lot about noise very noisy in prisons. That is interesting to me. Looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here . [singing] i think both of us really believe the Death Penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. The list is as long as my arm about several others. We feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation. Good morning, and welcome to the sf county transportation authority, my name is john avalos and i am the chair, and our clerk is cheng and recognize the work of our staff
