Finally, i recommend your approval of the resolution so mohcd can provide the permanent financing to preserve these buildings as affordable for low to moderate income families for the generations to come. Im happy to answer any questions and my colleague, Caroline Mccormick is here, as well as a representative. Thank you so much. Thank you. Lets hear from the b. L. A. , please. The board is being asked to approve loans totaling 37. 5 million for the four small sights projects. There are three different types of amounts that are being requested in this legislation. We summarized them on page 15 of our report. 937 clay would receive funding from the Downtown Neighborhood Preservation Fund as well as the preservation Seismic Safety Program. San carlos, on the 24th Street Project will receive funding from a small sights program as well as the Preservation Program in terms of the loan amount and the loan terms, they are all summarized in that table. The loan amount are for 33. 6 million. This is less than 37. 5 million as specified in the legislation. The difference has to do with a contingency encase project costs are higher than anticipated to allow them to go up to each loan program. We would you have a technical amendment to have the correct amount placed in the legislation we recommend approval as amended lets open this up for Public Comment. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I understand that the b. L. A. Gives as a recommendation to approve as amended, so can we take that amendment, please . I make a motion to approve that amendment. We can take that without objection, and then i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. Thank you very much. Madame clerk, please call item number 9. Nine is a resolution authorizing the Sheriffs Department to enter into a third amendment to the existing contract between the commissary commissary network and the city for a jail Commissary Services to extend the Term Contract by six months beginning september 1 st for a total term of such ever first, 2014 through for butte 28th, 2020 with no change to the guaranteed annual minimum income of 590,000. Thank you very much. I think we have kristin here from the Sheriffs Department. Yes. Im here today to request approval. The Term Extension of the current inmate commissary by six months from september 21st 2019 to ferrier 28th 2020. Some program history. This is a revenue contract currently with keith commissary network. We have had it since september 2014. It and prides provides inmates the opportunity to purchase food, personal care items, stationary, on accounts that are funded by friends and family. Currently the financial terms of this contract have keith pay 40 3 of net sales to the Inmate Welfare Fund. The r. F. P. We do have an r. F. P. Out now for a new contract that was initially posted in january of this year. It has similar financial terms, however, working with the treasurers financial Justice Project as well as the mayor mayors Budget Office, we were able to council that r. F. P. With those financial terms. We have introduced a new r. F. P. For which we actually already have bids, it eliminates payments to the Inmate Welfare Fund. It reduces commissary accounts deposit fees and this ultimately reduces inmate cost for commissary. While we are here asking for a sixmonth extension, it is my hope that we will be implementing the new contract well prior to the line that is in the legislature. So the Inmate Welfare Fund is established by the california penal code, which allows the sheriff to establish a fund for the county to be used for the benefit of education and welfare of inmates confined within jail. Sources currently come from commissary commissions and inmate phone calls primarily. We are moving away from that. As you know on the inmate phone calls, we are reducing the cost of inmate phone calls now by 50 from the end of last fiscal year to the beginning of this fiscal year, and it is our intention to reduce that down to zero before this fiscal year is out. When we go into the new commissary contract, it will also take away the funding for this. Then program the program and supplies are around violence prevention, sobriety, family connections, and lets see, one last slide. The minute the benefits of the new contract ends the commissary commissions. This will in turn result in savings for inmates. And then also there is a reduced cost of adding funds to inmate accounts. Currently, if someone wants to put 20 on an inmates account on the web, it is a 5dollar cost that will come down to a dollar. Although, primarily these days, during the sheriffs term, she was able to reduce the deposit at that cash deposit at the kiosk at the jail his 20, and that is really where primarily people make their deposits now. That is great. It looks as though we are moving in a positive direction to give some relief to the inmates or people who are incarcerated when they are using these services. Is that correct . Yes, maam. This is the bridge of money to finish off the rest of this contract. This is really because we issue the r. F. P. Under similar financial terms, but then turned around, we understood through the budget will be able to fund this to the general fund. We pulled that r. F. P. , and so we have so we have a new r. F. P. Out there and we are just needing some more time to finish that process. Theres a good chance that we could be done within three months to have the new contract. Okay. That is great. There is no b. L. A. Report on this. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Would any members of the public wish to comment on item number 9 seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, i would like to make a recommendation to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. And we take that without objection . Thank you very much. Thank you. Madame clerk, please call item number 10. Item ten is resolution approving and authorizing the Real Estate Division two and acquire Real Property located at 1828 edward avenue for a Purchase Price of 67. 3 million subject to future authorization of certificates of participation and placed with the Real Property under the jurisdiction of the Real Estate Division for use of storing evidence and moving property from other locations. Thank you very much. Good morning. I would like to thank them for reviewing this project and we agree with their recommendations before you today, i am seeking a positive recommendation for a resolution authorizing the acquisition of Real Property at 1828 egbert avenue. I will briefly go through the project description, dual points , timeline, cost. We also have a few minor changes to the resolution which i will walk through and then next steps the property to be acquired is located at 1828 egbert avenue. It is a fourstory building with a reinforced concrete frame. It is approximately 127,000 square feet in total. Each floor has a floor plate of approximately 31,700 square feet there is also a 63,000 square foot parking lot adjacent to the end part of the sign. The building meets the highest seismic standards. It has a seismic importance rating of 1. 5, and occupancy category rating of four. It is currently being used for self storage for approximately 900 customers. Looking at the pictures that are on the screen before you, the first picture in the upper left, it is a little dark, but you can see the building which is on the lefthand side. It is an lshaped building. The property to be acquired is in yellow hash marks. The parking lot area is in the upper portion of that picture, and also extends to the right. The property that is in the lower righthand corner is an adjacent parcel and not part of this acquisition. The second picture on your right shows the front of the property to be acquired. As you will see, it is a very robust structure and has no windows. The lower lefthand picture shows the rear of the property. You can see the rear of the building and a portion of the parking lot, and the lower righthand side, you can see the interior of the property and its vacant condition. You will note that the concrete columns are widely spaced and uniform, which allows for a very efficient use of the space. The deal terms, the Purchase Price is 67. 3 million. This was subject to an appraisal under review appraisal. The negotiated price is consistent with the market value as part of the deal term, the seller has requested a leaseback the purpose of the leaseback is to allow the seller time to vacate the current self storage tenant. At this point, i wanted to make clear that the site is being used exclusively for storage of goods and self storage. There are no residents, there are no businesses that would be displaced by this acquisition. The initial leaseback term would be for six months, however, recently the seller requested an option for three additional months should that prove necessary to vacate all of the tenants. This recent request by the seller is agreed upon by real estate and we are asking that this be included as part of the amendment this morning. The rent for the lease will be 1,000 per month. I believe that this is an approximation of the fair market value of this lease in that the only purpose under the lease is to vacate existing tenant. The thousand dollars per month will be taken out of a holdback amount. The holdback amount is 5 million, which will be held in escrow. This will serve as liquidated damages should the seller fail to remove all of the selfserve tenants in the timeframe within either the sixmonth or ninemonth, should an option be exercised. Speaking briefly to the uses, this building will be used as city secure storage. The primary tenant will be the Police Department. The Police Department must vacate their Storage Facility at the hall of justice where evidence is currently located, as well as building 606 at the shipyard, which is where Police Property is currently located. The purchase of egbert provides the city a longterm assurance that evidence is orderly and well maintained and well documented. The egbert site meets the police s needs in terms of space , infrastructure, security, and seismic strength. It also would decrease the loss or misplacement of items and ensures the integrity for trial. It also allows for retesting for those wrongly convicted on appeal. A timeline of relevant date, if approved by this committee today , we will be going before the board of supervisors on july 30th for their approval of the purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase and Sale Agreement is contingent upon the issuance of c. O. P. , certificates of participation, which will finance the acquisition. We anticipate september 2019 the introduction of c. O. P. In october 2019 and issuance of the approval of c. O. P. You can see here in the timeline , the issuance of december or january. Well start the leaseback process upon vacancy of the tendencies. We would take occupancy, and this timeline, which would conclude in either july through october of 2020, would still allow us to meet our target dates for an ho jay exit. I did speak to a revision of the resolution. The resolution, direct im recommending the resolution be revised in three locations to do two things. One, to add a three month option to the lease term, and second, to incorporate the b. L. A. s recommended amendment. Those changes would occur on page 1212, line 22, page 3, line six, at page 4, lines nine and ten. I do have proposed language for the clerk if you are interested. That concludes my presentation. Co
