Of items 5 and 6 are a project that mayor breed and her staff and my office worked on together with the Controllers Office for depending how you look the last number of months since the Technical Advisory Committee was appointed and seat in the october of last year or how you want to look for a number of years. And i wanted to reminds ourselves and sorry fisound like a broken record; as i walk us through 25 years of compressed inclusionary housing policy history. When i first became a member of this board of supervisor in 2 where are 01 supervisor mark leno authored and the board passd and mayor brown signed San Francisco first inclusionary law requiring on site afford okay housing and Market Rate Developments or off site or payment in lieu for such and at that time it was a 10 afford at requirement and over time by the time i left the board, at the beginning of 2009 that number crept up to 15 . There were tweaks to what was 415 of the code now 315 of the code. And or then 315. Anyway. And then in 2012, the powerhouse that were at that the time made a decision to reduce that number. In the wake of now great recession. From 15 to 12 . Which was the right thing to do relative to fiscal feasibility and Economic Feasibility for new construction starts in San Francisco. But unfortunately, froze that number in the charter. The economy took off. San francisco account have built thousands of more affordable but were not cap europed the board of supervisors could not raise that rate in good times nor lower it in bad times in upon 20 upon 16, supervisor kim and myself brought that provision to the voters. A slim majority of the board on the 65 vote chose to put that before the voters and did it in a way that really addressed the previous 16 years of history which was rather than politically trying to figure out what the market would bear. We accompany it with an ordinance that said on every 3 year basis the our controller politically neutral party under go an Economic Feasibility study. And determine where feasibility was. And the voters of San Francisco they vote for that charter change. We under took our first technical advisory process. Controller rosenfield hired century urban. Put some program terse which was our incollusionary housing rates were lower then and there they should have been. And that went into political negotiation and horse triding and ended up with todays rates and our current scheme. And would revisit it 3 years later as supervisor kim and my legislation envisioned but there was an interruption called covid. Controller and i were clear this we were going to delay that process. Not the most important thing going on in 2020. And what we have before us is based on the Technical Advisory Committee process. New century urban study and an extensive cest negotiations that happened in parallel to the Advisory Committee process where in members of the Market Rate Development community. Affordable housing, office and Workforce Development. And her colleague ted conrad. As well as controller rosenfield can our ted eatingen i want to thank the participates in the months of discussion and really very, very careful and delineate negotiations that ended up with the 2 part package that you see today. Which i want to note not only gives a haircut based on this Economic Science to the inclusionary rates but guess further and does manage we are not done which is to also put that in the realm of fees associated with new housing start in San Francisco. Off the moment that we are in which is not unique to San Francisco by any means. Most not in within any legislation control. We dont control Interest Rates or the cost of construction and those are the major things that have impacted Housing Development in the state of california and beyond. But we do control a few things including the fees we charge inclusionary rates. And i think there was a profound and correct acknowledgment in those conversations by the Market Rate Development community. That inclusionary house suggest one of the tools that San Francisco enjoyd and should continue on enjoy to add to Affordable Housing stock. Unlike a few representatives of the constituents showed up to meetings who thought entirelyly not the views of the responsible market rate community. As much as we can making development feasible. Thats had this package represents today. We looked at our allios various projects. I want to be clear that this is going to turn the dial for projects that are in the pipeline and projects that have yet to come in the pipeline it is significant but not going to be enough for everybody because we dont control Interest Rates and dont control the prices of statistic and bricks. It is going to move the dime of think it sensdz an Important Message that San Francisco is serious about going after it. That we are serious about 82,000 units and 46,000 units. And 46,000 affordable units i remind people and i have a small. Few mall amendments including a finding that reminds us not just 2,000 unit its is 82, 0 fix. Under arena goals. That is how we got here. I want to thank my staff who has been important to the conversations. Ann. Ted. Sarah. Bhit neil jones. The peculiarage before you today lefts for 3 years and bargain another pandemic and city shut down, well revisit in 3 years. And there are a few changes the process in section 415 because one thing i did learn long it is way the way supervisor kim and i wrote that legislation originally was when the process ended the tax was disbanded. And this actually keeps the tax in place. Which does not mean that the authorities the mayor, and the board of supervisors cant make adjustments to members but does not sunset or recreated you dont Vice President to wait 3 months when somebody remembers that january of 26 reasonable doubt aroundful so that is in here as well. And the office of am economic and Workforce Development have words to share. I commends the 2 piece of legislation to you. And thank the Mayors Office for their cooperation and various parties from the Affordable Housing community and Market Rate Development community for getting you to this point. Thank you very much. President supervisor peskin. So we have ted conrad from office of Workforce Development. Who will present and we have kate on stand by in case there are questions. Thank you. Ted conread from Workforce Development. I will not take much time. A few thoughts to share. You know we look at the piece of legislation as a package the housing reform plan and feel these are important and complimentary piece of legislation. President supervisor peskin did an excellent job of summarizing the inclusionary housing legislation i will not reiterate that. Id like to am talk about the impact fee reform legislation. The other piece. This makes a number of changes the way the city
