Thank you very much. Mr. Updike is here to present on the item. Thank you chair cohen. John updyke. Weve submitted amended legislation. Considered substantive. Wield weed request a continuance to one week on the item. If you would like, i can briefly walk through the amended legislation. But we werent anticipating a discussion until next week. I agree, its true, but you walked up mic. I wanted to acknowledge you. No problem. Absolutely why dont you walk through the brief amendments then well take Public Comment and take up a motion. Happy to do so. So before you weve added in both the long title and in the body of the ordinance the destination property site address 1500 Mission Street. Thats one of the more substantive of the changes. Additionally, this item to be responsive to the budget an legislative analyst report. Now seeks that the in the middle of the long title, the additional language regarding that the remaining proceeds of 321765 would be on controllers reserve and penned both the sales of the buildings, the discretionary actions which will be coming forward to the board of supervisors and those are the approval of a general plan amendment and approval of a planning code amendment. Findings of sikh wit cequa as well as the agreement between the city and related california or llc as noted in the title. Really, this those are the amendments here and in the body weve add the address 1 1500 mission and happy to answer any questions on that from a process standpoint, if you have any. I want to make sure that the amendment language before us actually allows us to vote on the 321 million an 321 million, and 122 million appropriations separately. Is that how you presented it . No. Well turn to the analyst. As i understand it, this item is going to be continue, so i wont review all the details of the report. Let me make a comment on this legislation. This amended legislation just submitted. Mr. Jup dyke says this address the concerns of the budget analyst. This do not any way shape or form address the budget of the legislative analyst. This doses not there are two Major Concerns in our report. One is that will after obtaining an additional 154,000 and that number comes from mr. Updyke of additional new space after getting this new building after selling the other buildings, there will be 154,000 more square feet of space exd for years, members of the board of supervisor have expressed serious concerns about the fact that the city leases over 2 million i dont know what it million is now, it was over 2 million square feet of space spais in the civic center and rightfully so, the members say we want a new building to reduce our lease spaces. This legislation that you just received in know way shape or form assures the board of supervisors that one square feet of space will be leased. There is no a stheurnses there will be any reduction in lease space and no assurances to the board of supervisors that there will be any lease cost savings to the city number one. Number two, it doesnt expression the concerns in our report that when the board of supervisors and by the way, you were advised by departments in 2014 that there would be reduction in lease space and you were also advised that the furniture fixtures and equipment and the technology and the moving costs were going to be approximately 12 million. Now they have increased by 139 to 29. 4 million. This legislation didnt address that at all. All this legislation does is address the points we made that plier to the board of supervisors approving this legislation, there are certain other actions that have to be taken. This does address that. In terms of the two Major Concerns to the city, any cost savings to the city, it no way shape or form addresses our concerns. Thank you very much for the preview for next week. Well continue the conversation next week. I want to pivot and give the deputy City Attorney and opportunity to speak as well. Just briefly, deputy City Attorney to the chair to the committee. One of the motivations for the amendments proposed by mr. Updyke today is the previous failure to include the address the 1500 Mission Street address. Were thankful that mr. Updyke dealt with that in the amendments and given the notice issues, we believe continuance to next week may be appropriate. And the committee feels like it wants to divide the 122 from the 321 or any other potential changes or amendments, the committee is free to do so at that time. Thank you very much for the clarification. Well take Public Comment on this item. Any members of the public that want to speak on item four, please come up. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor tang. Thank you, i know were going to have i more row burst conversation at the next meeting, but i want before we get there address mr. Roses first concern which is regarding the amount of lease space it from our other city departments in civic center and the increase well get. Can you speak to that since you do have the bird birdseye view over all the lease space here . Sure. Supervisor tang. We have either sent or will be sent shortly from the board to all the board of supervisors a report on the lease portfolio can have the city. Also diving in a little deeper to the civic center lease hold portfolio which has been reduced significantly. And pivoted to better protect us from future market fluctuations. Were happy to speak to that. At the time this comes forward, happy to address the other issues addressed by budget and legislative analyst at the time this comes forward as well as in may when the board will have the opportunity to take other divining actions on this project. So this is not intended to give short shrift to those concerns. We fully intend to address them, just not today. Just a minute mr. Rose, supervisor tang. I think at the next hearing, i would like to hear about how with the increase of the 140,000 square feet of space after this transaction occurs, what are we doing with that Additional Space . It may that be the dments that are going if there need that Additional Space. Maybe not. If you could clarify the whole kind of what is going on, that would be great. Mr. Rose. Yes, madam chair and members of the committee, supervisor tang, that is what i was going to say. Mr. Updyke made reference to the fact there has been reduction in lease space. Im not talking about any reduction in lease space that has been made. Im talking about a new building that has, as you stated, 154,000 results in 154,000 net additional square feet. Does the city get any reduction in lease space specifically as a result that have new building . You know, i used to rent we used to live in park merced, my wife and i and two daughters. We accumulated enough money to purchase a house. Guess what, we terminated the lease where we were living and we moved into the new house. I would like to know specifically as a result of this 154,000 square feet of lease space, will the city show us in writing what reduced lease savings what leases are going to be terminated a as a result of this new building . Consistent with what the board of supervisors was previously advised in 2014. If were talking about in the future, right now, the mayor has indicated that were in a period now where we have to look out for our finances. Because of our projected short false and so forth. If the controller mentioned something we could be facing maybe a downturn in the near future. We shouldnt be talking, in my professional judgment, about new City Employees to occupy new space. We should be talking about a reduction in city lease costs as a result of gaining 154,000 square feet of space. This is nothing new. This is the departments who previously advised the board of supervisors, if you do this deal at 12500 Mission Street, thats what you would get. And so far, thats what weve not seen. All right, lets save some pft fire for next week. Mr. Updyke, i think you heard from this committee what weed a like to see and hear in the presentation next week. Ladies and gentlemen, what i think i want to do is although you mentioned the amendments today, i think well take them all um and deal with everything next week. Id love to have a motion what day is the Budget Committee next week . Next Budget Hearing date for next week is april 20th. April 20th sorry april 20th. April 20th 2017 is the next Budget Committee. May i have a motion to continue. Ill make a motion to continue item 2. Deputy City Attorney. I apologize for interrupting. Deputy City Attorney andrew shen. To deal with the notice issues, at a minimum the committee should modify it to the 1500 Mission Street address. Supervisor tang do you have any other comments . Ill make the motion to adopt the 1500 Mission Street address. Supervisor you were speaking to that. Ill go ahead and make a motion to continue. So we have a notion amend which well take without objection and we have a motion to continue next week to april 20th and well take that also without objection. I apologize. Just to clarify, i think at the clerk as office request theyd like to see an amendment to reference the address and section two as well. So instead of potential Office Building development, it would say 1500 Mission Street development. Through the chair, ill rescind my motion for the amendment earlier. Just restate in the long title, it will include 1500 Mission Street on page one. On page two section two line 24 add 1500 Mission Street. Well take that without objection. Thank you. Thank you. P. Do we still have to make a motion to amend . Yes. Ill make a moment to continue as amended to our april 20th meeting. Thank you very much. All right, next item, please. Item number five is an ordinance amending ordinance 26610 authorizing the execution and delivery of taxable certificates of participation for hope sf in an aggregate principle amount not to exceed 38 million.

Its anticipated that four buildings will collectively serve as collateral for the certificates and secure the repayment obligations under the project lease. Under current Market Conditions today, the office of Public Finance expects to issue approximately 29 million of taxable certificates with a conservative Interest Rate of 5. 48 which results in an average annual debt service of 1. 9 million over a 30 year term. Im available to answer any questions about the financing and i also have amy chan here to answer any projectrelated questions. Thank you. I appreciate that. For clarification, the city expects to issue and deliver in june of 2017, is that right . To sell the certificates in may and possibly close in late may, early june. Thank you.

Certificates ever participation not to exceed 508al Million Dollars for the george r. Moscone cone center and expansion project. Thank you. Good morning again jamie kurben. We authorize the execution and delivery of a final statement and approves the official statement as it relates to the certificates of participation for the Moscone Convention center project. As a rea reminder, the board of supervisors approved 2613 in 2013 which authorizes certificates and the use of commercial paper as an interim financing source in an amount not to exceed 508 million. The certificates will be use in part to repay the commercial paper issued to date as well as finan the remaining portions of the projects.

Its anticipated that portions of the moscone property itself will serve as collateral for the certificates to secure the citys repayment obligations under the project lease. Again, under current Market Conditions, the office of Public Finance expects to issue with a rate of 4. 3 which results in average annual 28 million over 30year termed. Id like to note in 2013 the moscone financial district was established to secure that twothirds of the certificates will be paid from assessments levied on hotel businesses. A portion of the moscone assessments will be dedicated to the certificates. Im available to answer questions on the financing and brought you here the project manager on the moscone project to answer any questions. Do you have any questions .
