San Francisco Government SmartTranscripts:

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Good morning. The meeting will come to order. Welcome to the October 22, 2025 meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee. I'm supervisor Connie Chan, chair of the committee. I'm joined by vice chair, supervisor Matt Dorsey, shortly by member supervisor Cheyenne Chin. Our clerk is Brent Halepa. I would like to thank Eugene Lambadia, from SFgovTV for broadcasting this meeting. Mister Clark, do you have any announcements?

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you, madam chair. Just a friendly reminder to those in attendance, to please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices to prevent interruptions to our proceedings. Should you have any documents to be included as part of the file, this should be submitted to myself, the clerk. Public comment will be taken on each item on this agenda. When your item of interest comes up and public comment is called, please line up to speak on the west side of the chamber to your right, my left, along those curtains. And while not required to provide public comment, we do invite you to fill out a comment card and leave them on the tray by the television to your left by those doors if you wish to be accurately recorded for the minutes. Alternatively, you may submit public comment in writing in either of the following ways. Email them to myself, the budget and finance committee clerk at brent.jalipa@sfgov.org. If you submit public comment via email, it will be forwarded to the supervisors and also included as part of the official file. You may also send your written comments via US Postal Service to our office in City Hall at one doctor Carlton b Guthrie Place, room two forty four, San Francisco, California nine four one zero two. And finally, madam chair, items acted upon today are expected to appear on the board of supervisors' agenda of October 28, unless otherwise stated. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you, mister Clerk. And before we call item number one, I would like to remind everyone that, generally speaking, when we have a budget and legislative analyst report, for the items, for those items that we will have the department presentation first, followed by the budget and legislative analyst. Then we'll take questions and public comments. So with that, mister Clark, please call item number one.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item number one is a resolution retroactively authorizing the police department to accept an expended grant in the amount of approximately 63,000 from the California governor's office of emergency services for the Paul Coverdell forensic science improvement program to train and procure equipment for the criminology laboratory with the project period beginning on 04/01/2025 through 03/31/2026. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And, today, we have the police department here. Good to see you.

[Carl Necita (SFPD Government Affairs Liaison)]: You too. Good morning, chair Chan, vice chair Dorsey, supervisor Chen. I'm Carl Necita, government affairs liaison for the police department. As mister Halepa just announced before you is a resolution authorizing the police department to accept and expend $63,254 from the California governor's office of emergency services under the Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant for the period of 04/01/2025 through 03/31/2026. Although the award amount is under the $100,000 threshold for board approval in the admin code, the state requires proof of governing body authority as a condition of the grant before releasing funds. For that reason, and consistent with the board's actions on prior Coverdell grants, the department is seeking approval by resolution. Because of the same state requirement, the resolution is retroactive. While the department budgets the annual grant in the annual appropriation ordinance, Cal OES will not release the funds until the governing body formally authorizes acceptance. Just a brief bit of background. The Coverdell program is a longstanding federal initiative that helps local forensic laboratories strengthen scientific accuracy and efficiency. This year's award fund will be used for specialized staff training, professional certification, and upgrades to analytical and digital evidence tools that enhance case turnaround times, data integrity, and overall lab reliability. Approval today allows the department to continue implementing federally supported improvements that enhance accuracy, reduce evidence backlogs, and maintain accreditation. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. It, seems like it's, a lot of trainings, that comes with this grant.

[Carl Necita (SFPD Government Affairs Liaison)]: That is correct. Yes. Mostly training and as well as maintaining maintaining accreditation.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: That's great. Thank you so much. I don't see any name on roster. We don't have any other additional question. Let's go to public comment on this item.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. We are opening public comment for this item number one. If we have any members of the public who have

[Will Alderman (Office of Contract Administration)]: joined us today who wish to address this committee.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to also wanna acknowledge supervisor Chen is here. Welcome. And so with that, I would like a roll call. I would like to move this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on the motion to forward this resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation, Vice chair Dorsey

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Dorsey, aye. Member Chen. Chen, aye. Chair Chan? Aye. Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. And, mister Clark, please call item number two.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item number two is a resolution approving award of professional service agreement for an airport contract for operation and maintenance of airport baggage handling systems between, I think it's Beamer Lifecycle Management LLC and the city and county, acting by and through its airport commission in an amount not to exceed 30,000,000 for a term of three years, commencing on 11/01/2025 through 10/31/2028 with a single option to extend for two additional years exercised well at the sole discretion of the airport commission pursuant to the charter. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And we have SFO here.

[Diana Volek (San Francisco International Airport)]: Good morning. Diana Volek with SFO. The proposed resolution would approve a baggage handling system operations and maintenance contract in Harvey Milk Terminal 1 between San Francisco International Airport and Boimer Lifecycle Management LLC for a term of three years in an amount not to exceed 30,000,000. Boimer Corporation is under contract to operate and maintain the baggage handling system or BHS in Harvey Milk Terminal 1. This state of the art system uses bidirectional tote system technology to transport bags throughout the terminal. The original contract is the result of a 2015 competitive request for qualifications and proposals process for a design build contract for the system. In March 2025, the Office of Contract Administration approved the use of a sole source agreement since a portion of the baggage handling system is still under warranty, and the system operates with Boimers proprietary software. The proposed contract will provide operational availability at all times as well as labor, materials, parts, and equipment to perform operations and maintenance services related to the system. The scope of services include scheduled and preventative maintenance, on call unscheduled maintenance, and repairs and reporting. Boimer has met the contract's performance thresholds of system uptime, accuracy of baggage sorting, and timely completion of maintenance requests. The budget analyst office has reviewed the contract and recommends approval, and I am here with members of our terminal systems team in case you have any questions.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Good morning. Nick Menard from the budget legislative analyst office. Item two is a resolution that approves a new contract between the airport and Boimer. The contract, has a $30,000,000 value, a three year initial term, and and one option to extend by two additional years. Boimer is the current, operator of the terminal one baggage handling system. They built that system. The system runs on software that only Boimer can maintain. And so for that reason, this new maintenance contract was awarded on a sole source basis. We show the performance of the contractor on page four of our report. The performance is measured by the system's uptime, how often it's available, how accurate the baggage sorting is, and whether they complete timely maintenance requests. And Boimer is meeting those thresholds. We also show the contract budget on page five of the report. This $30,000,000 value is sufficient to get Boimer through the first three years of the contract. The airport will likely have to come back to the board of supervisors to exercise the second option, because the $30,000,000 is only sufficient to cover those first three years of spending. This contract is funded by airport revenues, And we recommend approval of item two.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. During the discussion with budget and legislative analysts, just identifying that there seems to be, in terms of baggage handling systems, there's a varies of, like, different systems throughout the airport. Do you want to help us understand just a little bit better about what is the approach? Is there intention that maybe eventually consolidate them, or or why we should not be consolidating them?

[Diana Volek (San Francisco International Airport)]: Yes. I'd like to ask Enrique Gordiamos to kind of just explain that myriad of systems that we have through our terminals.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you.

[Enrique Gordiamos (SFO Director of Terminal Systems)]: Good morning, supervisors. Enrique Gordiamos. I'm director for terminal systems. One of the areas under my purview is the baggage channel systems, the maintenance and operations. Sorry. Your question is looking forward as whether we want to consolidate some of these systems. Each terminal has a different system. It's implemented based on capital projects. When they look at that, they look at the design of the building, what is the most effective and efficient way to introduce new technology as well and efficiencies. So in looking at that, we take into consideration what savings we can do as far as electrical savings, and how the system is going to perform eventually, and what other other systems are out there in in in, in installation throughout the world and also in The US and make those decisions based on that. So to answer your questions, we do look at whether consolidating is the best option based on those parameters, and then we'll make a decision from a capital perspective.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: What is the, I guess, life ex life expectancy of the system, generally?

[Enrique Gordiamos (SFO Director of Terminal Systems)]: The systems could go up to twenty, twenty five years. And depending on the maintenance, it could go beyond that. And, also, depending on the technology. And the new systems are very software heavily, relying on a lot of new technology. So we always look at that to see if there's any improvements that can be made.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. I don't see any name on the roster. We don't have additional question. We'll go to public comment on this item. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. We are opening public comment for this item number two, if we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to send this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion to forward to the full board with the positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey. Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen. Chen, aye. Chair Chan.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes.

[Diana Volek (San Francisco International Airport)]: Thank you very much.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. Missus Clark, please call item number three.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item number three is a resolution approving amendment four between the city, acting by and through the Office of Contract Administration and universal protection service, LP, doing business as allied universal security services for unarmed security guard services at San Francisco General Hospital, extending the contract by five months for a total term of 02/15/2023 through 06/14/2026, and increasing the contract amount by approximately 2,200,000.0 for a total not to exceed amount of approximately 12,200,000.0 effective upon approval of this resolution and to oath and to authorize OCA to enter into amendments or modifications to the contract that do not materially increase the obligations nor liabilities to the city and are necessary to effectuate the purposes of the contract or this resolution. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And today, we have office of contract administration here.

[Will Alderman (Office of Contract Administration)]: Hi. Thank you. Good morning, chair Chan and supervisors. My name is Will Alderman. I'm with the office of contract administration. I'm also here with a colleague from the department of public health, Basil Price. We're here today to provide a recommendation for the approval of Amendment Four to the unarmed security guards contract for the San Francisco General Hospital. The Office of Contract Administration is seeking to amend the contract with Allied Universal Services, extending the contract by five months, increasing the not to exceed amount to allow additional time for a new solicitation to be completed and awarded. The contract provides security guard services for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, thereby ensuring the safety of its employees and the members of the public who visit this 20 fourseven level one trauma center each day. This contract was originally awarded to BlackBear Security Services via a competitive solicitation in December 2022. In January 2025, OCA and BlackBear mutually agreed to terminate the contract for convenience, and OCA proceeded to contract with the next highest ranked proposer, universal universal protection service LP DBA, Allied Universal Services in February 2023. OCA is requesting to extend the current contract with Allied Security Services by five months with a new term end date of 06/14/2026, and to increase the not to exceed amount by $2,186,000 for a total not to exceed of $12,180,000 From fiscal year 'twenty two-'twenty three through August 2025, the total spend for security services on this contract has been approximately $8,400,000 this is an average monthly spend of approximately $291,000 Allied's pricing is based on a, bid proposal of 73.23 percent markup over the fully loaded prevailing wage rate of approximately $25.32 per hour currently for security guard services, which is approximately $291,000 per month. OCA has also calculated a 20% contingency, as OCA contracts routinely include contingencies to account for potential cost fluctuations. For this particular contract, we considered several factors. Anticipated wage increases per guard, annual prevailing wage adjustments, staffing requirements, and potential need for additional security during large scale events that may increase hospital usage. Including a contingency provides the flexibility to manage unforeseen expenses while ensuring uninterrupted services essential to the safety of the staff and patients. It should be noted that this is an as needed contract. And should the contingency not be needed, any unused funds remaining at the end of the agreement will be released back to the budget. This concludes my presentation. There was a minor typo to correct in the resolution that I've circulated as an amendment. I can read that into record if that's helpful.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Yes, please.

[Will Alderman (Office of Contract Administration)]: The amendment is reflected on page one, lines seven and eight, as well as page two, lines fourteen and fifteen.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Item three is a resolution that approves, an amendment to the Office of Contract Administration's contract with Universal Protection Services. The amendment extends the agreement five months from mid January twenty twenty six to mid June twenty twenty six and increases the value from $9,900,000 to $12,200,000 The purpose of this short term extension is to allow OCA to put together a new RFP to reprocure these services. And this contract provides security guards that the Department of Public Health uses to staff fixed posts at San Francisco General Hospital. We summarize the budget on page 10 of our report and recommend approval of item three.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. So I guess, I just for for wanted to publicly confirm and validate it that, you know, within the next five months, with this extension, that there will be a new RFP coming out.

[Will Alderman (Office of Contract Administration)]: That's correct. It's, in process at the moment.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Great. Thank you. Thank you. I don't have any additional questions. Let's go to public comment on this item.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee regarding item number three, now is your opportunity to approach the lectern. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to first make the motion to amend, as proposed by the Office of Contract Administration, to correct a dollar amount with $3,000 less than is currently written, and to move the amended item to full board with recommendation. And a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion, to amend, the resolution, to lower the to lower the amounts by 3,000 throughout the res throughout the legislation and to forward that resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation as amended. Vice chair Dorsey? Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen? Chen, aye. Chair Chan?

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Mister Clerk, please call item number four.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item number four is a resolution retroactively authorizing the fire department to accept and expend a grant in the amount of approximately 2,300,000.0 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance to fighter fighters grant program to purchase personal protection equipment for the performance period of 09/12/2023 through 09/11/2025. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And today, we have the San Francisco Fire Department here.

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mike Mullen (SFFD)]: Good morning, supervisors. Mike Mullen, assistant deputy chief of support services, and the department is, requesting that you retroactively authorize acceptance and expenditure of a grant for from FEMA for the assistance of firefighters grant program for personal protective equipment, specifically turnouts. And this is in line with the 2024 board of supervisors resolution directing us to buy PFAS free turnouts only. After much work with the industry, we have finally procured PFAS and bromine free turnouts. We sent them out for independent testing. It's been confirmed. And this grant will buy, 1,100 coats and 580 pants that are carcinogen free. So we kindly ask for your support.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Congratulations. That's huge. Yes. I my assumption is, if I remember correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this it was really good news because I think at that time, the estimates was roughly almost up to $10,000,000 if we were to do a complete investments for all the turnouts to make sure that they're PFAS free. And this is, like, at that moment, when we learned about the grant opportunity, thought that it was a great first step. And most importantly, at that time, we didn't even know that if all those turnouts with PFAR free really also have is is it still sturdy? Is it still safe and and up to the standard? Could you just elaborate a little bit more and help us understand? One is, have they been tested now that we know, that they are, sturdy, they are, you know, proven to be safe for our firefighters, not just, the the fact that it's PFAR free, but also just all the standard that's required for them. And then second is that you mentioned roughly about a thousand turns out a turnout and then roughly how many pens?

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mike Mullen (SFFD)]: 580.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: 580 pens. So is that enough, or are we actually still need to continue to get more grants and funding? Please.

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mike Mullen (SFFD)]: So we will supplement with general fund for the remaining pants to get a full set of 1,100, and that will get probably around 90% of our field personnel, people working at fire stations going to fires, will have one set of PFAS free turnouts. Interesting. People in prevention, things like that, will not be getting them right away. Eventually, over several years, we hope to get the entire department having two sets of PFAS free, but that's our initial push.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Great. Could you give us a a roughly a cost estimate for the 500, pants, that it will be coming out from the general fund? Yes. And and my assumption is it's coming out from the department's, budget.

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mike Mullen (SFFD)]: So let me find so the price for the pants is about $1,300 and the coats are $1,900. So we're still we're looking at I believe, that was rounded down from 10,000,000, I think that was an early estimate, to the high 6,000,000 Yeah. For complete implementation for the entire department. So we're still about 3 or 4,000,000,

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mark Casper (SFFD Director of Training)]: short.

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mike Mullen (SFFD)]: Short? Yes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Great. Understood. That's good to know. We'll make note of that. You're roughly about 3 great. Thank you. And, vice chair Dorsey.

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Sure. Thank you, chair Chan. This is good news, and I just wanted to be added as a co sponsor.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Great. And with that, let's go to public comment. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: We are now open public comment for this item number four if we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to move this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion to forward to the full board with a positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey.

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Dorsey, aye. Member Chen Chen, aye. Chair Chan?

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Thank you. And, mister Clerk, please call item items five and six together.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item numbers five and six are resolutions authorizing the fire department to enter into cooperative agreements, with the California State Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, effective upon execution of their respective agreements. Item number five is for the firefighter property program under which the department may receive temporary loans of property in providing fire and emergency medical services, including disaster relief activities for an initial term of three years. And item number six is for the federal excess personal property program, under which the department may receive temporary loans of equipment for fire suppression and pre suppression, use for an initial term of five years. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And, again, we have the fire department here.

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mark Casper (SFFD Director of Training)]: Good morning, supervisors. I'm assistant deputy chief Mark Casper, San Francisco fire department, director of training. And I'm requesting acceptance on these two resolutions for our federal excess programs. These programs are something that we were enrolled prior, But due to the changes in city government and San Francisco Fire Department command staff, Cal Fire has asked us to re enroll. In the past, we've been able to obtain a forklift with an extending boom and a small motorized utility vehicle, both used at Treasure Island training facility. With these federal access programs, there's a website very similar to Craigslist or a Facebook marketplace. Where we're able to see obtainable equipment, building materials, and vehicles, which are free of charge. There's two different sub programs with the federal access programs, which is the FEPP, federal excess personal property, and FFP, firefighter property program. So the FEPP, Cal Fire, which is sponsored by US Forest Service, will loan us property in which we are allowed to modify as needed. We are responsible for pickup and maintaining the equipment or vehicles while under our use. They will pick up the property when we are done with its use, if needed. The FPP is through approval of the US Forest Service. We are basically given the equipment after we're loaned it for a year. And these could be vehicles or building materials, which we are responsible for pickup of the items as well. This program has been very advantageous to us in the past, and our plan is to enhance our use in this program to obtain items free of charge, which will save our city money and provide low cost training opportunities, especially by obtaining building materials that will be demolished in our fire suppression or special operations training, which creates very realistic training for the fire department. It's, it's it's been a wonderful opportunity we've used in the past, and and it'll it'll really help us get what we need to, continue, our excellent training program. Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Just out of curiosity, where do you store them, the equipment?

[Assistant Deputy Chief Mark Casper (SFFD Director of Training)]: So the equipment is all depending what items we get. We keep them over at Treasure Island Training. We kind of have a surplus of equipment. But there are some opportunities to also get some vehicles. Like, just just an example, if we wanted to get, like, a tow truck for those very few times we may have to pull an electric vehicle out of a garage in a building fire or something like that. These vehicles, brand new, can cost a lot of money. But if we're able to obtain something that's a couple years old that runs pretty good, this will help us the very few times in year a year where we need something like this. So all depending on what the item is, we'll we'll store it in the correct place.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. It takes the firefighters to do this work. I I appreciate it to be able to be, like, so thoughtful. We we appreciate that. And then so with that, let's go to public comment on these two items. Thank you.

[Enrique Gordiamos (SFO Director of Terminal Systems)]: Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. We are now opening public comment for both these items five and six. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to move these two items to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion, forward both resolutions to the full board with a positive recommendation. Vice chair Dorsey? Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen? Aye. Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Thank you. And, mister Clerk, please call seven item seven and eight together.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Item number seven and eight. Item number seven is an ordinance appropriating approximately 5,700,000.0 consisting of 5,500,000.0 from the issuance of Treasure Island infrastructure and revitalization financing district Number 1, tax increment revenue bonds, and approximately 269,000 accumulated interest earnings from the series twenty twenty two b and series twenty twenty three b Treasure Island IRFD bond to fund affordable housing projects to the mayor's office of housing and community development and placing these funds on controller's reserve pending the sale of the tax increment revenue bonds and receipt of proceeds in fiscal in fiscal year 2025 to 2026. And item number eight is a resolution supplementing resolution number seven dash 17 and authorizing the issuance and sale by the city and county, of San Francisco infrastructure and revitalization financing district number one, Treasure Island, of one or more series of bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 31,000,000, approving an official statement, one or more supplements to indentures of trust, and continuing disclosure certificates, one or more bond purchase agreements with a joint exercise of powers authority and the bond underwriter and other related documents as defined therein and making other related determinations also as defined. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you, mister Clark. And today, we have the Treasure Island Development Authority here. But before that, if I may, I would like to, call on, vice chair Dorsey to make opening remarks.

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Great. Thank you, chair Chan. I wanna first thank you, chair, for your support last year when my office in collaboration with the mayor and, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, brought forward amendments to the Treasure Island Development Agreement to help jump start the redevelopment and fulfill the, decades long vision of a thriving mixed income community. That legislation laid the groundwork for the issuance of a general fund certificate of participation. As you'll see in the presentation, tremendous progress is being made on housing, infrastructure, and parks, And this bond issuance is a key step both to fund a 100 unit senior affordable housing project and support pre development work for future housing development and parks. In addition to everyone at OEWD, I wanna thank Bob Beck and the staff at TIDA for all of their work, as well as the controller's office for the great work that they do on this and so many other things. I'm proud to be a cosponsor, and I hope it will earn everyone's support. Thank you.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And please go ahead.

[Jamie Curban (Treasure Island Development Authority, Finance Manager)]: Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. My name is Jamie Curban, the finance manager with the treasure Island development authority. I'll be presenting a brief update on the Treasure Island development project and highlight, some key terms related to the financing. The legislation before you includes a resolution to authorize the issuance of tax increment bonds in the amount not to exceed $31,000,000 for the treasure Island infrastructure and revitalization financing district, otherwise referred to as a treasure Island IRFD, as well as an ordinance to appropriate a subset of approximately $5,800,000 of the IRFD bonds to be used on affordable housing. As part of the, DDA signed in 2011, the project contemplated the formation of the IRF D, which was later formed in early twenty seventeen. Since then the IRF D has issued two bonds issuances, totaling approximately $38,000,000 In addition to approximately a $100,000,000 issued from the treasure Island community facilities district or CFD. Most recently, as supervisor Dorsey mentioned, the city adopted and amended and restated DDA, which authorized an additional $115,000,000 in certificates of participation or COPs in which the city sold its first $50,000,000 tranche in March to support stage two infrastructure. In terms of an overall project update, this bond issuance comes on the tail of a very exciting completion of stage one infrastructure on Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island, including a complete suite of streets and utility infrastructures, seven new parks, two public park installations, and a new ferry terminal. The next stage of development stage two commenced in 2022 and is expected for completion in 2028. We are also very proud of the progress of this. The project has made on delivering a total of nine seventy four new units of housing to the city, including two ninety seven affordable units. Looking ahead, the stage two infrastructure underway will support three additional projects, a two forty bed DPH owned behavioral health facility, a 100 unit permanently affordable senior housing project, and a 150 unit permanently affordable family housing project. All three of which are currently under predevelopment. The proposed IRF bond proceeds will reimburse the developer for qualified project costs incurred to date, including certain geotechnical work, demolition and abatement work, pre development costs, permit fees, subsidy payments, and the construction of public parks. For the housing bond component, TIDA has worked closely and collaboratively with the Mayor's office of housing community development to dedicate the IRF D sources to partially fund Treasure Island Parcel E 1.2 Senior, which is a project, with a 100 unit senior affordable housing project located on Treasure Island. Based on market conditions as of August, the controller's office of public finance estimates a thirty year financing with a true interest cost of 5.84%. This results in project funding of approximately $22,600,000 financing costs of approximately $931,000 and total debt service over the life of the bonds of approximately $55,000,000 The controller's office plans to price and close the transaction before the end of the calendar year. The IRF D bonds will be sold without a rating or non rated. The preliminary official statement referred to as the POS is the main disclosure document for the transaction, which details bond terms, security, and key risks investors should be aware of. These risks include the possibility of reduction in tax base and assessed values, concentration of property ownership, and the risk that planned developments may not be completed as expected. As a reminder, the IRF D bonds are not obligations of the city's general fund. They are pledged. They are secured by pledged tax increment generated by properties located in the IRF D. The San Francisco board of supervisors governs the IRF D, including approving the issuance of bonds and the preliminary official statement. Under securities laws, policymakers are required to share any material information that could impact the IRFDS ability to repay the bonds. Prior to publication, the POS will be thoroughly reviewed by TIDA city staff and advisors to ensure it reflects the most accurate information. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. We also have staff from the controller's office of public finance and Mosey present to answer any questions.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Item seven and eight are two pieces of legislation pertaining to new debt, secured by property tax, on Treasure Island. One is a resolution that would approve a $31,000,000 bond issuance, and one is an appropriation ordinance of $5,800,000 As we summarize on page 16 through 18 of our report, of the $31,000,000 bond, dollars 20,700,000.0 will be used to reimburse the developer for infrastructure costs that they've already incurred. And then the $5,800,000 appropriation pertains solely to the portion of the bond that will be used to fund an affordable housing project on Treasure Island. A portion of that $5,800,000 includes new bond proceeds and then accumulated interest from prior bond proceeds. And we show the detail of the breakdown on page 17 of our report. Total debt service for this new $31,000,000 debt is $55,100,000 And again, that's paid solely by property tax revenues generated within Treasure Island. We We recommend approval of items seven and eight.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And, I don't have additional question. Thank you so much for your work on this. It's very impressive to see the developments on Treasure Island. It's very exciting to see the housing, I think, both affordable. Like, that's really, happening on on-site, and I look forward to visit it again soon. And so with that, let's go to public comments on these two items.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee regarding both these items, seven and eight, now is your opportunity. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. And colleagues I should say, vice chair Dorsey, what would you

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Yep. Thank you, chair Chan. I would like to make the motion to move this forward to the full board with our positive recommendation.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you, both items. And, with that, a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion by vice chair Dorsey, that we forward both items to the full board with recommendation. Vice chair Dorsey. Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen. Chen, aye. Chair Chan.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Chan. Aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Thank you. The motion passes. And then now, mister Clark, please call item number nine.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Item number nine is a resolution approving and authorizing the mayor and the director of the mayor's office of housing and community development to execute loan documents relating to a loan with Meta Presita Small Properties LLC in an amount not to exceed approximately 37,800,000.0 to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, and permanent financing of 15 multifamily rental housing buildings for low to moderate income households consisting of a total of 89 residential rental units and nine ancillary commercial units located at 3329 To 3333 20th Street, 3182 To 3198 24th Street, 3353 26th Street, 1500 Cortland Avenue, 35 Fair Avenue, 3840 Folsom Street, 642 To 646 Guerrero Street, 63 To 67, Lapid Street, 2217 To 2221 Mission Street, 3800 Mission Street, 19 To 23 Presedo Avenue, 344 To 348 Presedo Avenue, 269 To 271 Richland Avenue, 380 San Jose Avenue, and Twin and 1015 Shotwell Street. Pursuant to the small sites program, affirming the planning department's determination under the California Environmental Quality Act, Adopting findings at the project and proposed transactions are consistent with the general plan and the eight priority policies of the planning code and authorizing the director of MOCED or his or her designee to execute the loan documents for the project and make certain modifications to such loan documents as defined and take certain actions and furtherance of this resolution also as defined. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And today, we have the mayor's office of housing and community development here.

[Amanda Fukutomi Lopez (MOHCD Preservation Project Manager)]: Good morning, chair chair chair Chan, vice chair Dorsey, and supervisor Chen. My name is Amanda Fukutomi Lopez, and I'm a preservation project manager at the mayor's office of housing and community development. I am pleased to present item number nine, the funding request for the 15 site meta bundle sponsored by, the mission economic development agency or meta. The meta bundle is a bundled refinance and rehabilitation of 15 of META's earliest small size program properties, including 3329 20th Street, 3182 24th Street, 3353 26th Street, 1500 Cortland Avenue, 35 Fair Avenue, 3840 Folsom Street, 642 Guerrero Street, 63 Lapid Street, 2217 Mission Street, 3800 Mission Street, 19 Presita Avenue, 344 Presita Avenue, 269 Richland, 380 San Jose Avenue, and 1015 Shotwell Street, totaling 89 residential units and nine commercial units. Next slide. Thank you. The request before you is for the approval of the consolidation of up to $31,580,766 in existing small sites program funding across the 15 sites and up to an additional $6,240,000 in new small sites program funding. The project will also receive a $13,000,000 first position loan from the bank of San Francisco to support the refinancing of the project's existing first position mortgages. The bundling of the properties will allow for the refinance of existing first position mortgages, support economies of scale and stabilize operations provide for rehabilitation at 14 of the sites, replenish operating reserves and replacement reserves, and extend affordability restrictions across all 15 sites. The META bundle is a bundle of 15 of META's earliest small sites acquisitions with acquisition dates ranging from 2015 to 2017, because at the time of acquisition, the city did not yet have the preservation and seismic safety loan program. All 15 sites were acquired with first position loans from private lenders. These first position non city loans range in terms with many loans, either coming due or set to have an increase in interest rates over the next several months requiring the need to urgently refinance the properties. Additionally, the properties have had trouble cash flowing over the past few years, primarily due to variations from initial underwriting, increased operating expenses, high debt service payments, and high and prolonged vacancies.

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: The next, thank you on

[Amanda Fukutomi Lopez (MOHCD Preservation Project Manager)]: their own SSP properties, especially those with very low unit counts can experience cash flow challenges when there are prolonged vacancies or large swings in income and expenses. And the sponsor believes with the project's reunderwriting, bundling the 15 properties can improve financial sustainability. Namely, the mix of properties provides a high enough number of units and varied enough building typologies for the bundle to mitigate unexpected cash flow swings at individual sites and achieve operational efficiencies. To mitigate against risks, META explored different iterations of the bundle, analyzing outcomes for smaller versions with different combinations of properties. Ultimately, META decided that the 15 site bundle was optimal due to size and to the financing terms that were only available for a larger bundle. To bundle and refinance the 15 sites, the project's existing 31,600,000.0 in principal from existing SSP loans will be consolidated and recast with SSP standard loan term of forty years and 3% interest with residual receipts payments. The project will also require a $13,000,000 first position Bank of San Francisco loan. The Bank of San Francisco loan is a fifteen year loan with the first ten years fixed at an interest rate of 5.25%. And acknowledging that the Bank of San Francisco loan is only fixed for ten years, META will develop a long term sustainability plan for the bundle, which will address the historic challenges of the bundle and guide its recapitalization strategy. The Bank of San Francisco loan will be used to support the refinance of existing debt, while MOCD's SSP upsize will be used to support the project's rehabilitation, reserve replenishment, other soft costs, and a portion of the refinance. The bundle has been entirely reunderwritten from during this refinancing effort. The reunderwriting is based on project actuals with more conservative underwriting assumptions, including a 1.15 DSCR and 10% vacancy loss assumption and more conservative rent assumptions. As a as a result of this process, the project's annual debt service will be reduced by approximately $340,000 And with stable vacancy in the bank of San Francisco's debt service assumptions, the project is poised to cash flow through at least year ten or longer if the same level of debt service is maintained. In connection with this refinancing and bundling event, 14 properties will undergo some amount of rehabilitation related to life safety and or immediate needs. These needs are a combination of work identified in the individual CNAs provided at acquisition and needs that were not identified in those capital needs assessments at acquisition, but are now considered immediate. While it is not typical for a project to undergo rehab after ten years, the circumstances of the bundle are unique.

[Laura (Interpreter, Mission Economic Development Agency)]: As some of

[Amanda Fukutomi Lopez (MOHCD Preservation Project Manager)]: the earliest small sites, these buildings had some of the leanest capitalized replacement reserves, and the reserves were depleted more quickly due to unforeseen capital needs and due to cash flow challenges at the sites that did not allow for the replenishment of reserves as modeled at acquisition. The bundle now has a varied scope of work across 14 sites that addresses unforeseen needs and immediate needs previously identified, including exterior siding repair, window replacement, electrical upgrades, roof replacement, and unit repairs among other items. The rehabilitation is expected to begin in spring twenty twenty six and be completed in spring twenty twenty seven. Approval of this request will allow for the refinance and stabilization of the 15 sites, the rehabilitation of 14 properties and improvement in the resident quality of life and improved organizational outcomes and stability. Thank you for considering the request for the consolidation and upsize of the SSP loan for the meta bundle, which supports the stabilization and future of the 15 sites and in turn, the sponsor's SSP portfolio. I am joined today by Jackie Sood, MOCD's director of multifamily asset management and preservation, Sheila Nicholas, MOCD's director of policy and legislative affairs, as well as Daniel Cruz, the META bundle project manager, and Jose Garcia, chief real estate officer, on behalf of META. We are happy to answer any questions that the committee may have. Thank you.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Item nine is a resolution approving a new loan agreement between the mayor's office of housing and Mission Economic Development Agency. The loan has a $37,800,000 value and will be used to refinance and rehabilitate 15 properties that are owned by Meta. We show the properties on page 29 of the report and the rehabilitation work on page 31 of the report. On page 26, you can see how this money will be used. The bulk of it is just to refinance existing city debt. So $31,000,000 of this loan will be to refinance outstanding city debt. Dollars dollars 2,700,000.0 will be used for rehabilitation. Dollars 2,100,000.0 will be used to fund reserves for maintenance at these sites. And then 1,300,000 will be used for to pay down private debt that MET has taken on related to this portfolio. And we also know that the city may have to, step in with another refinancing, in ten years based on the cash flow projections for this, for these properties, but we recommend approval of item nine.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. I I think these are really these are really critical sites to stabilize the city's tenants, especially those who are really low income and most vulnerable. I do have questions, just overall then, you know, as the budget and legislative analyst report has indicated, I'm glad that we were doing this, and really helping and support Meta and really, and as today rest of the agenda to to kind of, help our nonprofit, Housers and figuring out their finances and stabilizing their operation consistently. But we know that, there's more need to be done. So today, I have two questions. One is about Prop g, which is the rental subsidy distribution. If you can provide a little bit of update, help us understand, just where we at with the tenants' rental subsidies, which I think in return, work with our nonprofit housers? And then I think the second question that I have is that given this refinancing management, I should say, in partnership with Meta, Do we see this as more of these actually will will come with other nonprofit houses? Or maybe I don't understand it correctly, and maybe I don't understand it well, but I would love to have some explanation or or help me understand.

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: I'll take this in two parts. So I think the first question was around Prop g. And just to clarify, Prop g is not, funding any part of this particular refinance that's before you today. So the Prop G, we issued per the legislation, we were required to issue a memo outlining recommendations and considerations, which we did this summer. And we anticipate releasing a NOFA to call for projects to apply for the funds by the end of the year for Prop g.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: So we're not there yet is what you're saying? That that Prop g so I'm just trying to

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: It's not out in the world yet, but it will be soon.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: And and as soon as sometime this year or next year?

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: I the funds will probably be deployed next year, but we'll be working to identify projects at the end of this year or beginning of next year.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Understood. And then so then the distribution will be first quarter?

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: Probably.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Okay.

[Director Romero (Mission resident and community advocate)]: Yeah. I

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: would love to track that. Okay.

[Sheila Nicholas (MOHCD Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs)]: Happy to provide you with more information as we get that.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And the second piece is just generally speaking, you know, seeing that this is important. I think that, again, maintenance has always been difficult, meaning, maintenance has always been difficult for our nonprofit houses to maintain an operation. And, you know, that that requires the like, occupancy and tenants who paid their rent, all of that add up together. So help us understand your approach.

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: Thank you for that great question, Chair Chan. I'm Jackie Tso, director of multifamily asset management and preservation at MOCD. This is my first time before you today in my current role, with preservation added to my my team, so I'm very happy to be here. You know, this is a really great question, and it's been a really challenging time for affordable housing across the nation. San Francisco is no exception. We've seen that post pandemic, our affordable housing providers have continued to struggle to keep up with escalating expenses, operating expenses. Folks are still struggling with tenants paying rents. These have, you know, been going on for many years now. And small sites as a program has also, I think, had the added challenge of having higher AMI units, which, as you know, during the pandemic, we've seen, declines in rental, rental rates, here in San Francisco. And that's just made it more challenging to fill vacant units. I'm really happy to say that META, as an organization, has put in a lot of resources recently. MOCD has put in a lot of support to to, support META in, in filling their vacant units. And that is a very critical step in all of this, in stabilizing, in generating the revenues needed to sustain these properties to upkeep maintenance. You saw on the BLA report, there were, the vacancy rate was in the 13% range. They've been able to get that down to about 7%. It's amazing. So, they're headed in the right direction. I think, you know, we are we're all doing our best to, to support our nonprofit organizations because as you said, they are providing a critical resource to our San Francisco tenants. So, hope that helps to answer any some part of your question. Do you do you have other specific questions about about meta or I

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: don't think it's about meta. I think just just general speaking that I concur. I mean, I think we all can see that the environment has been challenging.

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: Yes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: And so and here, clearly, is that the plan is we hope to be able to sustain for the next decade, which is a long time. Yeah. But I think a decade I I think is that in the next few years, how do we proactively to strategize a sustainable funding source, an ongoing funding source, not just for Meta, but really generally across the board for all the nonprofit houses, which is, you have more to come in the in on even just on the agenda today. You know, maybe different different ways, you know, be it loan agreements and and different kind of options, with different houses. But just kind of wanted to understand that, you know, what is ultimately a strategic approach

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: Right.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: To be able to provide sustainable funding source to support them. I think Prop g, is is one of it's a good step of, like, we recognize that, you know, rental subsidies is part of the operations challenges for for our non profit housers. So let's think about set aside of those funding for specifically rental subsidies. But we do know a maintenance like HVAC and and all these things that that Meta is actually trying to do here, which is really needed for safety.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Right.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Those are critical things that we do want them to to do. And, you know, not to mention that previously, we dedicated. It's a different, you know, different subject and different sets of housing, you know, for SRO, for elevators. But but all which is to say is we've been long recognizing that our nonprofit houses, some of our SRO sites that which we hold master lease of or not, really in need of capital improvements.

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: For sure.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: And so, like, what do we do for ongoing basis? I think what I'm trying to get at is, eventually, if we're coming to be a, could it be a EIFD conversation, or could it even be a bond conversation that I would like to get MOECD to start making calculation, identifying, like, the needs, and help us identify what capital improvements actually look like. What we have been doing for the last, especially, affordable housing bond, it has been really, like, what are the new housing that we can do? We we actually and I think from the previous one in the 2024 in March, we actually have dedicated some funding for rehab, and and for about, I think, a thousand units. But again, the question that I have is then, you know, if we're going to move forward with more be it regional or local housing bond, we'd love to get a better understanding of assessments of needs, and then the dedicated, funding that we must have. Bond is still a one time fund, technically. So so what else do we actually need to do?

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: These are these are fantastic questions, and I so appreciate you raising them. I'm not the best person to answer, but, because I I I don't do the the financing aspect of it. But I'll just speak to some of it. I mean, I think you're highlighting two two different, very important, pieces. One is the operating subsidies needed to, to help support affordable housing, and that's Prop G and other, other subsidy programs. You're also highlighting the critical need for capital repair, funds. And, you know, we are, you know, for meta purposes, looking at hoping they'll consider a resendication using tax credits in the future. That is, pretty typical for, a lot of our affordable housing portfolio. And there have been changes to the tax credit law recently that will hopefully open that up so that from a preservation perspective, tax credits could be more, available to, our existing portfolio projects for preservation. That is very important. At the same time, you know, there are gonna be projects that need other sources of funding locally, at the state level. And so it's it's often, you know, a puzzle. And, getting all the puzzle pieces to fit together to ensure that there's a complete financing package in order to move forward. So, we are definitely looking very closely at the, preservation needs of our existing portfolio, reaching out to our, nonprofit sponsors to discuss where they have needs, and how we could assist them in applying for tax credits, and identifying other programs that could suit them.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. That's a key piece I haven't really thinking been I've been thinking about many pieces, but I think tax credit is it's been on a been put on back burner a little bit, only because on a local level, it's, like, not as easy to influence that. But that's a great great flag. I appreciate that. Thank you so much for answering all my questions.

[Jackie Tso (MOHCD Director of Multifamily Asset Management and Preservation)]: Thank you so much.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: All your work. And with that, let's go to public comment on these items.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. For your opening public comment for this item number nine, we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to move this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion to forward to the full board with a positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey.

[Will Alderman (Office of Contract Administration)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Dorsey, aye member member Chen Chen, aye. Chair Chan? Aye. Chan, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Mister Clerk, please call items ten and eleven together.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item numbers ten and eleven are resolutions as it as it relates to a 136 unit multifamily rental housing project and property located at 2970 16th Street. Item number 10 authorizes the issuance and delivery of multifamily housing revenue bonds in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 60,000,000 for the purpose of providing financing for the construction of the property, approving forms of the approving the forms of and authorizing the execution of an indentor of trust providing the terms and conditions of the bonds, author approving the form of and authorizing the execution of a loan agreement providing the terms and conditions of the construction loan from the city to the borrower, approving the form of and authorizing the execution of a regulatory agreement and declaration of restrictive covenants for the project, approving the form of and authorizing the execution of an assignment of deed and trust doc deed of trust documents, authorizing the collection of certain fees, approving for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended the issuance and sale of residential mortgage revenue bonds by the city in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 60,000,000, approving modifications, changes, and and additions to the documents, gratifying and approving any action heretofore taken in connection with the indenture of trust, the loan, the bonds, and the project, and granting general authority to city officials to actions necessary to implement this resolution and related matters as defined.

Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And, again, we have the mayor's office of housing and community development.

[Jenny Collins (MOHCD Project Manager)]: Good morning, supervisors. My name is Jenny Collins. I'm a project manager with MOCD. We're here before you today for two resolutions related to the development of a new a 100, a 100% affordable supportive housing project for formerly homeless households, commonly referred to as 2970 16th Street located at 16th And Cap adjacent to the 16th And Mission Northeast Bart Station. I'm joined today by the co sponsors of the project, Mission Housing Development Corporation, and Mission Economic Development Agency, referred to throughout this presentation as Mission Housing and Meta, as well as colleague Emily Cohen from the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Next slide. Oh, one slide back. Thanks. Yes. The first resolution authorizes issuance of tax exempt and taxable bonds not exceeding $60,000,000 to facilitate a construction loan for the project. The second resolution authorizes three actions. First, a ground lease to lease the city owned property to nineteen seventy nine mission street PSH associates LP, which is a limited partnership jointly created by the sponsors to develop and own the improvements for up to ninety nine years using similar terms for other city funded new affordable housing communities. Second, a city loan of up to $61,163,787 for a minimum loan term of fifty seven years to the limited partnership. Dollars 16,000,000 of this funding is state, no place like home funding. And finally, authorization of a license agreement for use of adjacent land owned by MOCD for construction staging of the project. Next slide. Project history. This project goes back to 2013 when a for profit developer, Maximus Real Estate Partners proposed a large housing project at 1979 Mission, consisting of approximately three thirty units of market rate housing and commercial space. Between 2013 to 2022, the surrounding community led by Plaza sixteen Coalition rallied against the proposed development dubbed Monster In The Mission in favor of deeply affordable housing. In March 2022, community efforts proved successful and MOCD acquired the property for future affordable housing project. Mission and META, in 2023, Mission and META were selected as the co sponsor of the project per 2023 multi site request for qualifications. The proposed development outlined in the RFQ includes a 100% permanent supportive housing, the project seeking your approval today, and family housing, which will be developed at a later date, contingent upon financial feasibility. In May 2025, the planning department approved the permanent supportive housing project using California state assembly bill AB 2,162, which provides ministerial approval for affordable housing projects that include supportive housing units. In August 2025, the project was awarded taxes and bond funding from CDLAC and an allocation of low income housing tax credits from the California tax credit allocation committee as a special needs project for formerly homeless persons. And on 09/26/2025, the citywide affordable housing loan committee recommended approval of up to sixty one, one hundred and sixty three, seven eighty seven in city financing. Next slide, please. The sponsor will develop 136 units of supportive housing for formerly homeless persons using a mix of studios and one bedroom units, feature, sorry, featuring a mix of studios and one bedrooms. 40 of the 136 units will be set aside, for formerly homeless households funded with state no place like home funds. Over the next couple of years, HSH will be working with the project sponsors and other key stakeholders on the referral strategy for this building to create a balanced resident mix. Individuals with higher acuity, alongside those who have demonstrated some stability, stability, and can live independently. The referral strategy will blend a neighborhood focused strategy for the 40 NPLH units with options for current tenants stably housed in permanent supportive housing to transfer from other PSH programs. The project will include rental subsidies from HUD in the form of restored, rebuild section eight vouchers, which will cover the debt service and operate and provide operation support. In addition, the project operations will also be supported by the city's local operating subsidy program or LOSP. This new PSH building will have twenty four seven desk coverage. Tenant services will be provided by Lutheran social services, and the building will also include a approximately 1,500 square foot behavioral health services center for building residents, staffed by a provider procured, to be procured by the Department of Public Health. Services will include primary care, access to physicians or nurse practitioners for general health assessments, chronic condition management, preventative care vaccinations and screenings, mental health support, individual therapy, counseling, and psychiatric services to treat trauma, depression, anxiety, and other conditions commonly linked to homelessness, Psychiatric assessment and intervention. Treatment planning. Development of individualized treatment plans for high risk residents. Trauma informed care. Services will be rooted in trauma informed practices, acknowledging the emotional and psychological impact of homelessness, abuse, and adversity. The services for the behavioral health space are being funded through a capitalized operating subsidy reserve, also referred to as a COSR, which is supported by state No Place Like Home funds, totaling approximately $11,900,000 over a twenty year period. The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing and the Department of Public Health have determined that this COSR funding will significantly help cover the operating costs of the behavioral health space. This financial structure of leveraging state no place like home funds for services effectively alleviates the burden on HSH and DPH from having to fully fund those service costs themselves. Next slide. Financing. The sponsors utilized an initial $3,000,000 city loan for pre development work. The project financing includes a mix of state, city, state, and private funds, as shown here, including a permanent loan from Western Alliance Bank in the amount of 5,500,000.0, 16,000,000 in no place like home funds from HCD, tax credits and partner equity of 42,000,000, and up to 45,000,000 in city loans. This is for your consideration today. A crucial component of the project's financing involves both taxable and tax exempt bond financing to preserve the 2020, to preserve the 2023 federal basis boost, which provides an additional 10,000,000 in tax credit financing, the bonds must be issued, and the project must close by 12/12/2025. With your support, Mission, Housing, and Meta look forward to demolitions starting in December 2025, followed by construction and project completion in 2027, late twenty twenty seven. Next slide. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Here with me today are representatives from Mission Housing and Metta, as well as Emily Cohen from HSH. We are available to answer, answer any questions from the committee members. Thank you.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Item 11 is a loan from the mayor's office of housing to 1979 Mission Street, PSH Associates LP, which is a joint venture of Mission Housing Development Corporation and Mission Economic Development Agency. Mission Housing Development Corporation is the lead developer for this building. The land is owned by the city, and the building will be 100% permanent supportive housing. It We'll have 136 units. There are two there's room on the land to build two other buildings that will be affordable housing. But the developer is still securing financing for those sites. This project will be built over the next year, with lease up expected by June 2028. As we show on page 37 of our report, the total development cost is is $117,000,000 This loan includes a $16,000,000 state loan as one of the funding sources. And the remaining $45,000,000 are funded by the Housing Trust Fund, development impact fees, and other, local sources. So the city subsidy per unit in this case is about $330,000 per unit. In addition to subsidizing the development, the city will incur ongoing operating costs for this site in the form of supportive services funded by HSH, rental subsidies funded by MOHCD, and then a behavioral health center that will have primary and behavioral health care for residents that will be funded jointly by MOHD, TPH, and HSH. We detailed those costs in our report. And those costs are built into the department budgets going forward. We recommend approval of item 12. 11, I'm in.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. I think this is a question more for, Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Just wanted to understand the, behavior health programming on-site, and what that actually looks like. And is that part of the investment that the mayor has been talking about, breaking the cycle, and just kind of help us understand, that. Thank you.

[Emily Cohen (Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing)]: Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Emily Cohen with the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. And the behavioral health component of the services that are being offered that are in planning for this site involve both, primary mental health care, as well as substance use disorder treatment as needed by the residents of the property. So it'll be a partnership and a collaborative effort. This is part of our effort to infuse clinical care wherever possible in our system and to help ensure that we are meeting people where they are to get the healthcare that they need to thrive in the community. And we're really excited about this multi departmental collaboration. We are many years away from opening the site at this point, so program design is still under development, but that is definitely the intent.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. Thank you. Great. I don't have any other additional questions. Let's go to public comment on these two items.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. We're now opening public comment. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee regarding both these items ten and eleven. As soon as the first speaker steps up, I will start your time. Once you begin speaking.

[Shannon Dodge (BART, Transit-Oriented Development)]: Hi. Am I at the right mic here? Hi. I'm Shannon Dodge. I'm here on behalf of BART. I work in BART's transit oriented development group, and I'm here to express BART's strong support for this project, which will abut our 16th Street Mission Station, specifically the Northeast Plaza. The properties that wrap around the Northeast Plaza at 16th Street Mission Station have been vacant and boarded up for years. And BART has been collaborating with MOCD and the developers and architects of this project because we know that active uses facing our station plazas contribute to a more welcoming 16th And Mission Area for everyone, including our transit riders, and supports our ridership return. We at BART are also happy to see that this first phase of the project will address a critical need by housing formerly homeless residents and providing them with supportive services. So I urge you to vote in favor of the bond issuance that will make this important project possible. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much, Henry Dodge. Next speaker.

[Jesus Mendoza (Carpenters Union Local 22)]: Good morning, supervisors. First and foremost, thank you for your time and your attention to this matter. My name is Jesus Mendoza. And on behalf of the Carpenters Union, I am here representing thousands of carpenters and their families here in the city of San Francisco. For almost a decade, we have been part of the community organizing for housing at 16th And Mission. There's probably no better place in San Francisco for the development of responsibility of responsible responsibly built, high quality, affordable housing. Local twenty two and our members have worked with Mission Housing on developments throughout this, throughout the city over the years. Our members, many who live in the Mission, are ready and eager to get to work on this project as this project will support high quality union jobs, employ apprentices, and open up more training opportunities for local residents, and deliver much needed affordable housing as well. We respectfully, we respectfully request your support for this item, and to keep this project's momentum going. We thank city staff, Mission Housing, and the supervisors for all of your hard work to get us to this point. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to the building and we look forward to building the affordable housing our community desperately needs. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you, Jesus Mendoza. Next speaker.

[Gary McCoy (Public commenter)]: Good morning, supervisors. Gary McCoy. I believe I know all of you, and I think I think you many of you know my my story. I'm a person who experienced homelessness through my twenties, in San Francisco, and I was very fortunate that there was a ladder out of homelessness that existed for me. I was able to go from the streets and shelters to treatment to, transitional housing support permanent supportive housing, and then market rate, rental unit since. For me, one of the biggest pieces of that ladder that the most impactful was permanent supportive housing. It gave me a sense of independence, a sense of community. I didn't feel like I was being ushered into temporary housing solutions. It allowed me to ultimately focus on myself, my own recovery from substance use disorder, and start working towards coming off of disability and working full time and going back to school for a few classes here and there. As you can see by the timeline and the history of this project, like, these projects take so long to get through the process. And they're incredibly challenging to get funded. I mean, the financing pieces around affordable housing and permanent supportive housing are one of the biggest hurdles to getting these projects going so that we can move folks in and off the streets. I I urge your, support for this and recommendation for the full board. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much, Gary McCauley. Next speaker.

[Ruth Ferguson (District 9 Neighbors for Housing)]: My name is Ruth Ferguson, and I'm here on behalf of District nine Neighbors for Housing. Twelve years ago, the Mission community began rallying against proposed market rate housing on the site. They organized for years, demanding passionately that what the neighborhood truly needed was affordable housing. Their advocacy worked, and in 2023, META and Mission Housing took on this 100% affordable housing project. Now in 2025, the project is ready to break ground at the end of the year. Over the past two decades, the mission has lost thousands of low income families due to displacement and rising costs. Projects like La Maravilla are critical if we wanna reverse that trend. With over 350 units, including critically needed permanent supportive housing, this project will bring refuge to hundreds of working people, families, seniors, and unhoused neighbors in San Francisco. This isn't just another housing project. It's a promise kept to the community that fought for it, and it's needed now more than ever. Trump is threatening to send the National Guard into San Francisco and ramp up ice raids that already terrorize our neighborhoods, especially the mission. If we don't support projects like La Maravilla in this moment, then what do we stand for? How can we call ourselves a sanctuary city when the very people who need sanctuary can't afford to live here? The Marvel's first phase will focus on providing permanent supportive housing and will provide people who have the greatest need with stable, affordable housing and on-site support services. Research shows that PSH is not only cost effective to our government, but also transformative for the people who benefit from it. And we've, you know, heard some of those stories today. I urge you to approve this gap loan and let construction start this year. Every month of delay, it means more people without homes and more families pushed out. This is more than about than just housing. It's about community trust, dignity, and the future of the mission. Approve this loan for working families, for our unhoused neighbors, and for a San Francisco that still has the courage to live up to its values. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much, Ruth Ferguson. Next speaker, please.

[Whit Turner (Housing Action Coalition)]: Good afternoon, supervisors. Whit Turner on behalf of the Housing Action Coalition. San Francisco's high housing crisis is still pushing families and workers out every day. La Maravilla is what real solution looks like. 136 permanent affordable homes built with and for the community. We are excited about this first phase that will provide PHH housing for formerly unhoused neighbors, not just shelters, not temporary fixes, but real homes with on-site care and support. Projects like this just aren't just moral imperatives. They're how San Francisco meets its state mandated housing goals. Every affordable unit we move forward helps the city close the gap towards its goals and towards its target number of homes by 2,031. Advancing La Maravilla shows that the city isn't just planning on those goals, it's delivering on them. Every month of delay costs the city more and leaves more people without a home. So I urge you to please vote yes on this project, Approve this loan for La Maria Madavia to move forward for the mission, for our neighbors, and for all of San Francisco. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much. Wood Turner. Next speaker.

[Tanya Estrada (Executive Director, The Women's Building)]: Hi. Good morning, supervisors. My name is Tanya Estrada, and I am the executive director at the Women's Building, a long standing community anchor in the Mission District. San Francisco's housing crisis continues to displace women, working families, seniors, and our own house neighbors, especially in the mission where thousands of low income households have already been pushed out. Projects like the Maravilla are exactly the kind of community rooted solutions we need. This project represents over a decade of organizing and advocacy for mission residents and community organizers, myself included, who have been clear about what they want, what we want, what the community wants. Deeply affordable homes, housing with dignity for their own house, and the ability for families to stay in their neighborhood. Permanent supportive housing works. It saves lives, stabilizes communities, and reduces public cost in healthcare and emergency services. Approving this gap loan ensures construction begins this year and keeps San Francisco on track to meet its housing and equity goals. These are the times to support this project that will provide not only housing, but much more, and a long standing impact in the community. For all of these reasons, we urge to approve this loan and move La Maria forward for our community. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And thank you much for addressing this committee. Next speaker.

[Laura (Interpreter, Mission Economic Development Agency)]: Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is Laura from Meta. I will be interpreting for a couple of families.

Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much. Next speaker.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: If we have no other speakers. Actually, to prevent these awkward pauses, if we have any other speakers, please line up

[Director Romero (Mission resident and community advocate)]: at the at the Good morning, supervisor. Director Romero, a mission resident. One of the person with many people who fought the monster in the mission. We are very close to get to the marble. Please support that. Affordable housing is costly like any of housing. The subsidies, I I just want to congratulate and and and support supervisor Chan who has been also advocating for homeless families and and got 30,000,000 in surgeries. We need to continue doing that. There is a big need. We don't want to see people in the streets having all those issues. This part of the process, the phase one, is a project that require more support and more additional services. And the community is supporting that, and we want to continue moving in having more affordable housing in the Mission District. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Thank you much for addressing this company.

[Sam Moss (Executive Director, Mission Housing Development Corporation)]: Good morning, supervisors. Thanks for having us here. I'm Sam Moss. I'm the executive director of Mission Housing Development Corporation. I'm, obviously speaking in favor of the project. I actually just want to take a brief moment to thank the mayor's office of housing and department of homelessness. It is really hard to build these things, and it would be impossible without the support of those two organizations as as well as the rest of the city staff. But, you know, so thank you very much. It means a lot to have your support, and I hope that you vote yes. Thank you.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And thank you much, Sam Moss. And, sure, seeing no other speakers, that completes our queue.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no no more public comments. Public comment is now closed. Colleagues also and and just for the general public too, I also do wanna flag the the item is also particularly item 11 is also cosponsored by supervisor Jackie Fielder. So clearly, there's also half the district supervisor support. And so with with that, I don't see any other name on the roster. Colleagues, I would like to make the motion to move these two items to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion, to forward both items, ten and eleven, to the full board with a positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey. Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen Chen, aye. Chair Chan? Aye. Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Mister Clark, please call item number 12.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item number 12 is a resolution authorizing the mayor's office of housing and community development to execute the standard agreements with the California Department of Housing and Community Development under the affordable housing and sustainable communities program for a total award of approximately 45,700,000.0, including 33,000,000 disbursed by CalHCD, has a loan to the Balboa Gateway LP as developer for a 100% affordable housing project at 11 Frida Kahlo Way and approximately 12,700,000.0 to be disbursed as a grant to the city for public transportation improvements near 11 Frida Kahlo Way for the period starting on the execution date of the standard agreements through 11/30/2043, authorizing MOCD to accept and expand the grant of up to approximately 12,700,000.0 for transportation, streetscape, and pedestrian improvements, and other transit oriented programming hand improvement as approved by CalHCD. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. And, again, we have mayor's office of housing and community development here.

[Andrew Strong (MOHCD Project Manager)]: Thank you. Good morning, chair Chan and committee members Dorsey and Chen. My name is Andrew Strong, and I'm a project manager at MOCD. I'm here to present on item 12, file number two five one zero zero six, for a resolution to execute the standard agreements with the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, ASEC, for a total award of $45,721,399 including 33,000,000 disbursed by HCD as a loan to the Balboa Gateway LP for a 100% affordable housing project at 11 Frida Kahlo Way, also known as Building A. And $12,721,399 to be disbursed as a grant to the city for public transportation improvements near Build Building A. This resolution, if this sounds familiar, it's because it is. This resolution had been adopted by the board, 05/06/2025 and approved 05/12/2025 as file number two five zero three nine three, with resolutions for Balboa Reservoir infrastructure and Building E. This resolution fixes a clerical error where the notice of funding availability date had been misstated as January 20. The correct NOFA date of 01/30/2023 and sub subsequently amended on 03/15/2023 has been updated in this resolution. And this, updated resolution request came from HCD. The approval of this resolution with the correction will allow us to finalize the standard agreement with HCD for these ASIC funds. I'll also take this opportunity to provide a quick update on Balboa Reservoir. As a reminder, Balboa Reservoir is a 17 acre site located across from City College and has previously been used as a parking lot. The Balboa Reservoir development agreement was approved by the board of supervisors in August 2020. As an update on progress, infrastructure for the first two affordable buildings is set to begin this November. Closing for Building E, Balboa Reservoir's first affordable project, is anticipated for November 5, with a construction start date of February 2026. Building A is the second 100 affordable development at Balboa Reservoir and will be completed by Bridge Housing. The project includes 158 affordable units, and one non restricted manager's unit. The area median incomes to qualify for these units will be restricted at 40%, 70%, and 80% AMI. And the Building, Building A received the ASIC award for approximately $45,700,000 including $33,000,000 as a loan for housing construction, approximately $12,700,000 for public transportation improvements. The total financing for Building A will include funds from MOCD, the IIG and ASIC awards from HCD, housing tax credit equity, and construction and permanent loans. The sponsor and MOCD are currently working on the loan evaluation for their final gap loan, which will go to loan committee on, 11/07/2025. So that's coming up, really soon. We will return to the board for approvals following loan committee for the total financing plan at the 2026. We are currently looking at a total development cost for building a of a 187,000,000, and that does include the infrastructure loan component. And then building a trails infrastructure and building e by a few months because of pad readiness needs. Construction is anticipated to begin April 2026. Construction will finish February 2028, and lease up is expected to be complete by September 2028. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, and thank you.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Long time coming. Very exciting. Look forward to seeing 2028, or September 2028. So I don't have any other additional questions. Thank you so much for your work.

[Andrew Strong (MOHCD Project Manager)]: Thank you.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: We'll go to public comment on this item.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. If you have any members of the public who wish to address this committee regarding this item 12, now is your opportunity. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comments, public comments are closed. Collings, I would like to send this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on that motion to forward to the full board with a positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey. Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Chen. Aye. Chen, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Thank you. And then, mister Clerk, please call items thirteen and fourteen together.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes. Item numbers thirteen and fourteen are resolutions as they relate to a project and property located at 1303 Larkin Street, and granting general authority to city officials to take actions necessary to implement or in furtherance of the respective resolutions and related matters as defined in the respective resolutions. Item number 13 is a res is, authorizing the execution and delivery of multifamily housing revenue notes in one or more series and aggregate amount principal amount not to exceed 19,000,000 for the purpose of providing financing for the construction of the project, approving the forms of and authorizing the execution of a funding loan agreement, providing the terms and conditions of the construction loan from the funding lender to the city, and the execution and delivery of the notes. Also authorizing a project loan agreement providing the terms and conditions of the construction loan from the city to the borrower, approving the form of and authorizing the execution of a regulatory agreement and declaration of restrictive covenants, authorizing and collection authorizing the collection of certain fees, approving for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, the issuance and sale of residential mortgage revenue notes by the city in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 19,000,000, approving modifications, changes, and additions to the documents, ratifying and approving any action taken in connection with the funding loan, the project loan, the notes, and the project. Item number 14 is a approves and authorizes the director of the mayor's office of housing and community development to execute documents relating to a loan held with 1303 Larkin Street LP for an aggregate loan amount not to exceed approximately 18,500,000.0 to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, and permanent financing of the project and adopting findings to the project and proposed transactions are consistent with the general plan and the eight priority policies of the planning code and affirming the planning department's determination under the California Environmental Quality Act. Madam chair.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you, mister Clark. And with that, again, we have the mayor's office of housing and community development here.

[William Wilcox (MOHCD Bond Program Manager)]: Hi. Thank you so much, supervisors. My name is William Wilcox. I'm the bond program manager for the mayor's office of housing and community development. I'm also the project manager for this transaction, 1303 Larkin Street. And I'm joined today by the developers from the Chinatown Community Development Center and my colleague Sheila Nicholas. And so there's two items here. One is to approve the tax exempt bonds, which provides the 4% low income housing tax credit financing. And then the other is for the MOCD loan agreement. And that has a few components. The there's no new subsidy funding today for this project. This project $4,000,000 of this is recasting is the term we use for old loans. Just sort of repackaging them in new and updated terms and extending the affordability. And then 2 and a half million dollars in our what was our existing nonprofit, NOFA from a few years ago that we awarded this project that provided some money to do immediate repairs, like an elevator modernization that was badly needed at the property. And then also owe some money for predevelopment funding for this project. And that was some of the types of funds that supervisor Chen brought up earlier is so important to helping our existing portfolio. And then there's $11,000,000 that's a pass mortgage. So the preservation and seismic safety program is we repurposed a few years ago an old bond from the nineties in order to make mortgages. And this is a real hard debt mortgage. They have to make payments. We sold general obligation bonds, but then the payments from this repay those. So this is in lieu of getting a private mortgage. So we're able to offer better terms and target this to projects like this that major financial institutions wouldn't be able to support in the same way. And so there's no new subsidy. There's just sort of these three loans and the tax credits. Now 1303 Larkin Street is a currently a 63 unit affordable housing project that sits on top of the Pine Street post office in the Nob Hill neighborhood. It was developed in the nineteen nineties by the Chinatown Community Development Center. And through this rehab, we will add five units to bring it up to 68 units. 47 I think it says 48 there. But 47 of these will have project based section eight. So we'll be able to offer truly affordable, all income based housing to the low income seniors who live there. While the average the restriction on the property right now is at 60% of the MOCD area median income, The average AMI of the households is 17%. So even though we have really low rents, we're already seeing existing residents be very rent burdened. And this will largely address that across the the building. So we're adding five units. We're converting 43 of the SROs into studios or one bedroom units. We're converting the property to all electric. We're placing the exterior and windows to ensure the waterproofing of the project. And upgrading the plumbing and mechanical systems. So while it if you look at the pro form a, it's a lot of money. It's also a lot of improvements to make sure that this is a long term successful project. Similar to 2970 16th Street, this project has a closing deadline of December 12 in order to preserve this basis boost that allows us to get about 30% more tax credit equity than we would otherwise. So we've been moving at a fast clip to get this done, and I believe we can do it. Even with HUD, the government shutdown, and the postal service, we are still on track to close. So it's a total 39 and a half million dollars. 18 and a half is from us. There's an existing loan from the state that will also be recast. $13,000,000 in tax credits. And a sponsor loan from CCDC for $1,000,000 So we will begin construction in December, finish in March 2027, and finish lease up by May 2027 on this project. So I'm happy to answer any additional questions, and my partners from CCDC are here as well.

[Nick Menard (Budget and Legislative Analyst)]: Item 14 is a resolution that approves a loan agreement between MOHCD and Chinatown Community Development Center. The loan is for $18,500,000 and will be used to fund rehabilitation work at thirteen o three Larkin, which is operated by CCDC. The loan includes $6,600,000 of existing city funding, and then new past funding of $11,900,000 that will be used to fund rehabilitation costs. That renovation work is also being funded by other sources which we detail in our report. We recommend approval of item 14.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Thank you. If I remember correctly, I might have delivered meals to this building during COVID. And so I I saw the SRO, rooms. Well, I didn't see them, but I I kinda was just hanging the lunch on the door. But I I can I saw the kitchen? I saw the bathroom on the joint joint space. So I'm really excited to know that there are 43 units of SRO that be able to now convert it into 12 kitchen and bathroom. It's amazing. And I'm trying to, like, kinda envision, like, how would that happen. But I can see that there's some of them that that just like, they have units that are individual, but they also have units that are two people and more, I think, in those SRO. They're not, like, tiny, tiny, not, like, micro units, but some of them actually are I can see them large enough to have that. I'm excited about the project. Thank you so much for working that out. Kind of intrigued by by the design of it. Love to learn more. Not not today, but eventually. But I know you're offering the technical aspect of financing of it. I don't have any other additional questions. Let's go to public comments on these two items.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Yes, Ray. Now opening public comment for both these items, thirteen and fourteen. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee. Madam chair, we have no speakers.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: Seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. Colleagues, I would like to send these two items to full board with recommendation, and a roll call, please.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: And on the motion to forward both items to the full board with a positive recommendation, vice chair Dorsey

[Supervisor Matt Dorsey (Vice Chair)]: Aye.

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Dorsey, aye. Member Chen Chen, aye. Chair Chan Aye. Chan, aye. We have three ayes.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The motion passes. Thank you. And, mister Clark, do we have any other business before us today?

[Brent Jalipa (Committee Clerk)]: Madam chair, that concludes our business.

[Supervisor Connie Chan (Chair)]: The meeting's adjourned.
