Transcripts For SFGTV CCII 8415 Commission On Community Investment And Infrastructure 20240622

Perseverance of individuals at the shipyard as well as city staffers over the years, redevelopment staffers and especially have to talk about scott because high served on the cac board for more than 20 years dedicating personal time to insure the studios and businesses remain. The nob many Small Businesses and the production from current high rents in San Francisco is so important to maintain and i believe that was anticipated and recognized in all the agreements that were made with lunar and the city that the rents needed to remain below market in order to continue this community, which brings a lot to San Francisco. We hope both the artist and cooks can rely on the process to provide fair replacement spaces at reasonable rents as everybody has agreed to in all the documents that were approved. Thank you. Thank you. James gleesen. Good afternoon commission. My name is james gleezen and artist from parcel b. I just like to say that im very grateful to occi as well as lunar for the relocation plan. The meetings were very clear and informative and kept the artist informed as to what was going on. Also the new studio assignment, im grateful we are not being displaced in a time when a lot of artist are. Besides an accommodation that you provided for the move for the artist, there was also really really clear and easy to understand and we are looking forward to the move and the build of the new studio. The support and information given to all the artist is also very clear. The consideration for the input from the artists was also really important in the relocation of us and in conclusion, asyfected artist i respectfully ask for you to support the agenda item and ask you continue to keep the artist involved in the process going forward. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any others that would like to speak on item 4 a . Um, Public Comment is closed. Do my fellow commissioners have any questions or comments . Commissioner singhare all the studios completed so far . The studio building is not completed. What is under construction is the replacement kitsch squn as soon as the kitchen moves building 110 can be demaunshed and the new Artist Studio is built where the kitchen is. [inaudible] what happened in 2014 is the approval of the design. In april of 20 14 [inaudible] it is fully designed but construction is yet to start. When is it going to complete . Early 2017 do we have the list of who will get thewhich artist get the studio . Ya. All artist were heavily involved in the design of the building and 2 too aex tent where they could decide studio sizes, whether they want to increase or reduce the studio size and we have a list of artist who are eligible to move fl to the new building. Not all made the [inaudible] to take advant objectf the opportunity, but they have the right to move. What is the total number of artist who applied for the studio . So, at the time of the scumatic design, there were 140 artist squz they go in 130 studios. There are a few artist who share studios so that situation will be replicated in the new studios. If there are 2 or 3 artist in one studio now they have the same situation in the new building. We used to get a invitation from mr. Madison every year. You dont have any kind of those to see the Artist Studio and meet the artist and everything anymore . [inaudible] and they ceased to be able to fund those great events a great number of years ago. Thank you you are always welcome. Okay. I know all the artist were very very long time and they are very nice and very good people. I know mr. Madison for the last 20 years and so it is a very good project. I want to move this item. Okay. Do you have a comment . I have a few questions. Let me just verify, i think the last meeting that we had, there werewe are still at the 140 artist, right . There are a couple artist who have left the shipyard since, that is why i said in 2014 we had 140 so i know of a handful of artist who decided the time is right for them to leave. It had nuth toog do with the relocation so there will be a couple vacant studios. Those vacants studios will be open to new artist . Yes, as part of the conversation around management we are looking at policies for the new artist complex and one of the policies will be a policy to fill the building at initial lease up so knowing there will be vacant studios and there will be a priority how we will allow artist to get into the studios. It may be artist who are currently share for them to have individual studsios, it may be building 101 artist elect to move into the new building if there is remaining space, but there will be a policy well presents to you. They would be below market rent . The way that the rents are determined for the artist are basically to cover costs including operating, Administrative Expenses and capital receives and so that is being looked at for the entire building and the rents cover all the expenses it needs to be sustainable once they move to the new building the same arrangements are maintained . For example, [inaudible] and other expenses that are incured, is that sort of the same way as it is today . Hopefully not because at the moment there is hopefully not it means it will be better because well have a new building and well maintain it and make sure we have reserves that will suffice the keep the building up and running into had future. If you recall from my last presentation artist are in billings that are run down and may not have Running Water and no heat so moving to the replacement building is a up great and maintenance and upkeep is on [inaudible] to keep the beautiful building. I also want to commend star for raising money to support the artist expenses and all of that. Thank you. I am pleased to hear you raised more than 10 thousand and hopefully more because im sure there will be other expenses as the move happens. I just have a question about the commercial kitchen. So, there was a concern raised and there were others who spoke about making sure that scott will be able to afford to maintain the Current Business as far as costs or other expenses. How is that being the negotiation is not final yet . That is correct what are the actions that we are taking to make sure that entrepreneurs start out and do business in San Francisco . As i understand this is a inkbation type of commercial kitchen and eventually some of them will probably are going to be very profitable businesses. In the mean time we want to make sure Small Businesses are being supported, what are the actions we are taking. I agree [inaudible] cookery services are important and we acknowledge that and everyone is working to make sure the cookery continue tooz succeed on the shipyard as well as all their clients. The negotiations are [inaudible] they have just begun. Who is negotiating the lease is lunar in collaboration with ocii and it is mainly department of real estate involved in these conversations and they will be on going for the next few weeks and hopefully at the end come to a term sheet and rent number that will allow scott to move into the building. The building was built for the cookery and allow him to continue to operate and succeed at the shipyard. You will come back and update on the negotiations . Flaum parties concerned . It is very important for us to know because this is a business that serves the city and the entrepreneur climate especially during these times and i appreciate to also hear what is go ogen. Im sure something mutually benefit will come up since the [inaudible] and yourself so that would be a interest to me that at least a lot of these issues raised are mitigated and addressed we are happy to fulfill request thofz commission to be kept informed about what is going on with the lease conversations between [inaudible] cookery and lunar and ocii. One more clarification, there were very few artist left, right . We have 140, is it 130 and some are shared . At the time of the Building Design we had 140 artist. A few have since left the shipyard, 3 or 4. The number of studios in the new building are smaller than the number of artist because some artist share studios. Art is thriving in San Francisco. I hope the process of unanimous decisions works because i have been in many situations where unanimous or consensus doesnt work or at least there is a attempt to address this and i heard that there is a process to address if a consensus isnt met so appreciate the forsite in the planning. Thank you. I second the motion. All of my questions have been answered by the questions of my fellow commissioners. I just want to commend everyone because it sounds like what could have been a difficult process has not been so difficult. The studio assignment process is very democratic and the fact that folks got a opportunity to participate in that process hopefully insures the success so i cumind star in particular for participating and creating that process.
