Colleagues, the budget and finance committee sent this with a recommendation unanimous recommendation of do not pass. Wisely so in my opinion. To the chair of budget finance committee, supervisor chan, the floor is yours. Thank you president peskin. Colleagues, i want to first provide context about the city office lease in general. Just so that we should really be aware that not so long ago this body approved fox plaza office lease for our City Attorney and, but during the conversation at that time, at that convursation thanks to our colleagues supervisor safai at that moment talked about that least at that moment and coming before us for a decade long lease. The conversation though recognized that the market changed significantly. We should reconsider what the city should do with Office Leases and thinking about perhaps there is a opportunity for the city to purchase property instead of leasing for a better longterm Investment Strategy for the city assets. Then now with that, we are at this lighthouse building llc located at 1155 market. This is not a good deal for the city. It was clear to us, the budget legislative Analyst Report indicated that it is a policy matter, because from the time of fox plaza to the time now the market has actually continued tonow actually worse then it was when the time we discussed the fox plaza office lease. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do and also thanks to president peskin joining us at the budget and finance committee to further validate that this is the right decision to present to you today. Why instead of tabling this or turning it down at the budget and finance committee . It should be really a decision for us to make collectively as a body to therefore it is the committee unanimously recommending back to you colleagues to say, lets not pass and lets not approve this office lease agreement. Thank you. So, chair chan, you are recommending a no vote . Yes. A no vote to the legislation, because the technically the legislation is to approve this lease and so with your no vote, which is what we are asking do not pass this, a no vote to the item that will allow us the city to perhaps be able to go back and figure out a better solution for all the departments located in this perhaps or even a new location. Thank you. Thank you supervisor chan. On item 15, madam clerk, roll call vote. [roll call] there are 11 nos. With supervisor melgar, peskin [reading names] resolution fails. Item 16, this is ordinance to amend the planning code to designate the colombo market arch within sidy walton square, 600 sfrunt street as a landmark and affirm the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. Roll call. Melgar aye. Peskin, aye. Preston, aye. Ronan, aye. Safai, aye. Stefani, aye. Walton, aye. Chan, aye. Dorsey, aye. Engardio, aye. Mandelman, aye. There are 11 ayes. The ordinance is passed First Reading. Next item, please. Item 17, resolution to initiate a amendment to the landmark designation of the San Francisco fire station number 44 located at 1298 girard street. Same house same call, the resolution is adopted. Next item. Item 18, resolution approving authorize a groont of two easements on City Property located at 4840 mission street. The first consist of 198 square feet of land at the northwest edge of the parcel for Electrical Equipment and the second easement of 395 square feet of land at the Northern Edge of parcel for Gas Equipment between the city and pacific gas and electric for the purpose of providing electrical and gas utilities for 100 percent Affordable Housing at no cost for term until pg e surrenders or abandon the easement or agreement is terminated. Same house same call the resolution is adopted. 19 was referred without recommendation from land use and transportation. Ordinance to amend the planning code to reduce Inclusionary Housing Program requirements including requirement for projects approved under the housing opportunities means equity, San Francisco home sf program and affirm the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. Same house same call no. Supervisor preston. Thank you president peskin. Colleagues, when the broader inclusionary housing reduction ordinance was before this body in july, i was not able to support and in the same vain, i wont be supporting this item before us today, and i welcome a conversation around what changes we need to make to encourage new development, but from the discussion to date i really havent seen evidence that these proposals will lead to any additional development. That said, these ordinances will reduce Affordable Housing and crucial fees while inflating last cost to make Affordable Housing more expensive. I recognize the efforts and appreciate supervisor peskin and safai and Technical Advisory Committee and controller, but not prepared to support the item today and i think in my opinion, last thing we should be doing is making it harder to create Affordable Housing in San Francisco and i fear as i did with last piece of legislation that this legislation will have that result. Thank you. Supervisor safai. Thank you mr. President. Colleagues, just to remind you, we did this already for larger projects. This is really about smaller projects, 1024 units. We heard from architects, small builders, engineers, people across the city and if we are truly dedicated and mean we want to address our housing crisis, we need to pass this. This does make many of these projects much more feasible to build, and so appreciate your support and that st. The reason why we did it. We really wanted to not leave out the little guy and make sure that we are building as many of these units as possible, and yes, reducing the inclusionary was a intended goal. When we increased it many years ago when the economy slowed down we would reduce it when necessary. Thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you supervisor safai. Roll call. On item 19, melgar, aye. Peskin, aye. Preston, no. Ronan, aye. Safai, aye. Stefani, aye. Walton, aye. Chan, aye. Dorsey, aye. Engardio, aye. Mandelman, aye.
