SFGTV BOS Full Board Of Supervisors 42616 April 27, 2016

Market, along our waterfront and along market street, but we dont have that kind of development in the district 11. It makes so much sense that we help to build the equity that we dont have in our development and general fund dollars that go to neighborhoods based on that development. That is what this supplemental really does. While we see this great economic boom, and were not saying that revenue come and trickle down to our neighborhoods. Most of all, we dont have the plumbing for that to trickle down. This supplemental is a form of plumbing to be able to get some of our wealth that is generated to a neighborhood that greatly needs it; that will help to jumpstart the development in an area that has seen such neglect and really bring it up to the 21st century. So i have Beth Reuben Stein from my office, who will show you the images of Geneva Office building and powerhouse. If we can get that lined up . This is the neighborhood. Could you point to where the i guess you have to do it there, no . That is the building in question, 280 and muni yards and were building a neighborhood in the middle. One of the key public facilities will be the Geneva Office development and across the street from there will be the upper yard, 100 Affordable Housing 85 units will be built and its just one way to complement the effort. Our next view and we probably dont have to go so to the screen. This is how the building looked in the 70s when it was in use and how it currently looks right now. It is a really great facade and great beauty and great potential, but still, more or less an eyesore in the neighborhood. The next slide is the current powerhouse, which is actually the site of phase 1 that the supplemental will help close the gap in funding to make happen. And this is the final version of the entire building when its fully developed, still looking for the entire amount of money for that. The next slide will be what is actual phase 1 of the powerhouse site will be the Performance Space and practice space that this supplemental will help fund. There is currently money from the last park bond 3 million, that is there. We have actually contribute edsome funds from our budget over the years for design documents and this 2. 5 million that is before us today will finally close the gap so we can move forward on this project. Colleagues, there is no better time to support district 11. We have had multiple opportunities to show that and each time the board of supervisors has risen to the occasion to support this neighborhood. Our district, district 11 is completely united behind this, from every walk of life from every economic sector, from all of our neighborhood associations and social justice organizations are all behind this measure, and really hoping that you can help move this forward and support it. Thank you, colleagues. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Thank you. First i will start by saying that i think this is an incredible project that i really look forward to seeing happen. I think that there has been a lot of uniformity around it with constituents and supervisor avalos has certainly been a really good champion for this partnership for many, many years. As i said in budget committee, i think that for me, im just not comfortable with supporting a supplemental for this at this moment. I think this really belongs in the budget process and deliberations and year and year after i have seen even before i became a supervisor there has been a commitment to fund this project. We have all supported it in our various forms and various budget processes. I think that is something, again, a conversation that belongs in the budget process. So i do not have anything against this project. I think that its going to serve the community very well its complete and i think there have been funds set aside as well in previous parks bonds that have passed by voters. I think 2 million, for example, for construction. So i know there is a funding gap. I think if it came before the board of supervisors and budget committee, its something that againly continue to support. But just not in this form. President breed. Thank you. I would like to associate myself with the comments of supervisor tang. I, too, think this is a great project and i do think it belongs in the budget process. We have a process for this particular matter for a reason. I remember over the past three years, before we were able to fund keizer track to get that done it was turned down year over year by the Capital Budget committee and finally funded after being rejected aat least three times by recreation and park and keizer drive is basically the responsibility of rec and parks, but a major thoroughfare for people who drive through the park and has been in a state of disrepair and recreation and park didnt fund repairing that particular keizer drive. It was funded by dpw. I just think that although there is a lot of great intentions i have an amazing project in my district, the muni substation, which is a bright on the filmore. I would like 2. 5 million to rehabilitate the station and make what has been promised to the community for so many years, but i realize there are so many projects in in the city and so much to do and challenges to getting everything that we want done in a timely manner. Its not to say that i wouldnt support this project through the process in the process. I have supported funding for this project in the past, but with our budget process coming up i do think its more appropriate to include a project of this nature in the budget process and not as a supplemental at this time. So unfortunately, i cant support the supplemental. Thank you. Supervisor yee. Thank you. When we had this discussion at the budget committee, we actually continued this item for a week, in the hope that supervisor avalos would be able to have a discussion with the Mayors Office to see a Clear Pathway in funding this project. Yes, this project is in district 11 and borders about two blocks from my district. So in many ways this project really impacts both our districts, both 11 and 7 directly. I have been supportive of this project, really exciting project that has been sitting there for a while. Im going to be supporting this supplemental, and hope my hope is that even if we get the supplemental today, that this discussion at the budget during the budget process will happen any way. Well be still be far short of the funding required to complete the whole project. So colleagues, i really hope that im hearing the right thing, which is that people will continue to support this project in one form or another. Im hoping today that many of you can actually voteyes on this item. Thank you, supervisor yee. Supervisor campos. Thank you, madam president. My understanding from what has been said about this project is that this project is ready to go. And while i understand and respect the fact that people as a general rule dont want to do supplementals, i think that in terms of moving this project forward it might actually be more expensive to wait to actually begin the work. And i certainly was very impressed with the feedback from this community and to me, if were going to end up approving this funding a few months down the road, i think that we should not let form dictate over substance. I think we should just move this forward. I know from being on this board that supervisor avalos has been very responsible in how he brings any supplemental before this board. Its not something that he does, and so im going to defer to his judgment, and he believes this is something that is needed for his district. Thank you, supervisor campos. Supervisor peskin. Thank you. Some 15 years ago when the mta owned this property, it was actually going to be demolished. The city rallied and then my then College Supervisor sandoval rallied and district 11 rallied and we were able to make, i think, a courageous decision under the leadership of then rec and parks general manager elizabeth gold stein to transfer that facility to rec and parks. Its been a decadeandahalf. Supervisor sandoval endeavored for eight years. Supervisor avalos has endeavored now for an additional eight years. I think the time has come. This is not about district 11. This is part of the citys patrimony. This is a great historic resource. We can breathe new life into this resource. It will create jobs. It will create housing it will create a muchneeded facility and save one of the greatest earlycentury buildings of this city. I urge all of you to consider this and to vote for it. It is time to get it done. Thank you,supervisor peskin. With, that seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk please call the roll. On item 3 supervisor breed . No. Breed no.
