Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

Next is the regular agenda. Item 5B is authorizing a personal services contract between the successor agency to the redevelopment agency of the City and County of San Francisco and Diamond Technology Services LLC, a California limited liability company, to provide database development services for a term of three years in an amount not to exceed $190,000 Discussion in action, resolution number 24-2025. Director Koslowski.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Greetings, members of the public, members of the Commission. As the Secretary said, this item is for Diamond Technologies. It's a technology contract to help OCII IT overhaul its databases that we have at the agency. We have several at the agency that we need assistance in migrating them to a more advanced platform. And to present this item is Monica Davisteen, the HR and admin services manager for OCII. Monica.

Thank you, executive director. Good afternoon, Dr. Scott and commissioners. It's my pleasure today to have the opportunity to present this proposal for your consideration. Thank you. So I'd just like to begin just to give a background, an overview of, just to give you some context of our IT department, as well as introduce our partners in this project. So our IT department is comprised of a small but mighty team, myself as IT division manager, and Javarius James, our IT administrator, who is in the background doing work right now. So, Jay is responsible for day-to-day management and troubleshooting of our IT systems. We contract with the city's Department of Technology for network hosting, software, cybersecurity, and other programs, and Jay serves as the Department of Technology liaison for those services. And my role is to provide strategic project management, budgeting, contract management for any IT records and website work. I also serve as IT troubleshooting support while Jay's on vacation. We contract with consultants such as Diamond for their expertise and partnership in specialized services such as our enterprise database needs, which we'll be discussing further. Please note that Diamond is also a local business enterprise. So a bit of background on our databases. We have used Microsoft Access Database for about 20 years at the time that we entered into the contract with Diamond in 2019. Our former IT administrator, Ferry Lee, retired and we entered into the contract with Diamond to provide data maintenance and support. of our seven Microsoft Access database. We used a three solicitor bid for that proposal. Around 2020, our Access database environments experienced a significant technical malfunction of our SQL Server. For context, a SQL Server serves as sort of like the infrastructure or engine that drives the database's functionality. Diamond then undertook the significant effort to upgrade our SQL servers to prepare us for the power BI migration proposed today. It's also important to update our move to migrate to a new system because, A, Microsoft is no longer supporting that legacy system. Also, we want to move forward to make sure that our data is secure. For public records requests, any historical data, having a new system supports that. Microsoft BI is a system that has a scalable platform for data management and enterprise-level business analytics. So for example, right now all of our database is kind of siloed. Power BI will give us an opportunity to kind of pull data from the different sources and enable greater reporting for things that we present for the commission or things for the community. We also, using Power BI will also bring us in alignment with other city departments. A lot of city departments, the controller's office, a lot of departments uses Power BI for their reporting. So this new contract should approve, will help our software migration, and provide general service support for OCII until all of the data migration is complete. So on the screen before you is an example of how our current Microsoft Access database looks. This is what our power users see when they're engaging with the system. This look and feel can remain the same. So for our end users, how they engage with it won't feel different, but the infrastructure will be better. This is an example of Power BI. This is kind of the new interface of the reporting structure, much more streamlined, easier to pull data. And it also improved the reporting structure, for example, for the annual small business and workforce reports. I want to show you, give you an example of the kind of reports we're speaking to. So on our website here, we have a report, our annual reports of the SBE report that I believe is going to be presented later this month. And so improving our databases will aid in the production of this report. We'll be able to pull real-time data as needed reports. Sorry, one second. This screen here gives you an example of high level reporting. So we can decide the depth and the complexity of the reports. So we can identify some of our what we call power users that need real deep analysis. I can imagine our finance department would love this. So they could say, what is our historical utilization on certain contracts? Are some of our budget lines? So this is an opportunity that PowerPI could provide for us in our reporting. So here just talks about the general scope of work. So we have a total of seven databases. We're going to focus on two in this initial phase of work, the resolution and our bond database. The work that will be done in the conversion of this two will build the infrastructure that allow us to do the migration of the remaining five. So it's like invest time in the infrastructure makes the migration of our other five moving forward. Key steps in the migration is Diamond will establish a development environment with all SQL reporting and Power BI components. They'll be testing for the functionality of that. development environment. There will be a thorough reports and forms testing in this environment. After the development environment is vetted, we move then to the production environment. And there will be a series of testing of that environment, making sure all the links works, all the kinks are done. And then once we are confident that the production environment is vetted and working, we'll then set up Power BI interfaces for tailored reports. And then once we vet all of that, then the legacy system will be retired. And then also, while all of this is happening, there also will be general service maintenance report to maintain to make sure that our current databases are stable and troubleshooting as we migrate to the new system. And as mentioned before, the term of this contract is three years with a not to exceed of $190,000. Key benchmarks, year one will be focused on the Power BI development environment with a focus on resolution and bond databases. Year two will be focused on moving to the production environment. And also during this time, we'll be building a budget and schedule over future upgrades of the remaining five databases, contract compliance, forward calendar, contracts, correspondence, and records. At that time, we do expect that we would come to commission for either amendment or a new contract. And then year three, the legacy environment would be retired. That is the end of the presentation. I am available, as well as James Diamond, who is managing director, and Paul Anthony, who is the technical developer for the database, where we are available for any questions. Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Monica. Madam Secretary, do we have anyone from the public who wishes to provide a comment, question, or concern?

At this time, members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001. Please enter access code 26608215657, followed by the pound sign or number sign, then the pound sign or number sign again to enter the call. Please press star then three to be placed in the queue an automated voice will let you know when it is your turn If you are already listening to us by phone, please press star 3 if you would like to provide a comment We'll begin members of the by inviting members of the public here in person to come up to the podium at this time. Mr. James

Good afternoon, commissioners. Good to see you. Good afternoon. See each and every one of you and to the audience and to the community at large. Oscar James again. My concern is this. All of the records from 1968 to the present that dealt with joint housing along with the redevelopment agency, do this organization, do this company, are they handling those records also? And if not, who is? Because I want to find out some information from the joint housing that we've done from 68 in the 70s, the records, because we exonerated the joint housing also way back in Western Edition. And the records that were done in both of those organizations, we've done everything along with the redevelopment agency. So our records we don't have, but I know the agency has records from the joint housing. And there's things that I want to find out pertaining to the wastewater and that movement when they did that in our community benefit package. Do this organization, do they handle those records also? And if so, I would like for, well if not, I would like for them to get those records and to handle those particular contracts also because it's important for community folks to know what happened in our areas, both Western Tradition and Hunters Point. But I really would like to go back further than that, back into the to the 50s when they did the replacement of the marketplace that was under the Embarcadero Freeway, the Italian marketplace, when they brought them to Gerald and I forgot the Tolan, the produce market, those records, because those records show where the peoples in the marketplace got a rent at Gerald and Toland, 50 years rent free. And I want to make sure when we as communities, both communities, ask for certain things that affected our communities, because the business that was displaced in Western Edition and also the business that was displaced in Honest Point, I would like for them to be compensated just like the marketplace that got 50 years rent free. So I'm going to be talking with Thor and hopefully the commissioners to come back to find out exactly, I mean, if you have those records, and if they can pick up that contract, if they don't have them now, to pick up those contracts so peoples in our communities can be aware of what happened and that we, the community, would have access to that information. Thank you very much. Sorry for being long-winded.

Thank you, Mr. James. Thank you, Mr. James. Do we have any other members of the public wishing to comment at this time? Moving over to our remote callers and Madam Chair, I do not see any members of the public wishing to comment any further.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Hearing no further request to speak on the item, I will close to public comment. And I will turn now to my fellow commissioners for their comments, questions, or concerns. And Executive Director Thor.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just briefly to address Mr. James's comments, this firm does not work on what he put on the record, which was essentially a public records request, which we have a policy that relates to that. Any member of the public can request any copy of our records with some limitation on confidentiality. If we have a copy of something, however, we will look for it and try and find it and provide a member of the public A copy and so mr. James and I are very familiar with each other. He's familiar with the agency's operation We can take as he said I'm meeting with him at some point soon I can take down his public records request and we have agency staff who? Look for those records depending on how extensive they are and how the age of them it could take some time but nonetheless I understand what his request is and I can refine it with him in the future and

Thank you, Executive Director Thor. Fellow Commissioners, any comments, questions, or concerns?

Commissioner Miller. Thank you, Monica. That was very informative, and I know the tremendous amount of data you're dealing with. The database is huge. I'm familiar with Microsoft Access, and it's unfortunate that Microsoft doesn't maintain that forever, but the technology will hopefully make it more efficient for the operation and retrieval. records and everything. So it's exciting to see that forward. How does this Microsoft latest software and system work with AI? Is it integrated well with AI for requests and data search?

I will attempt to answer that, and I might volley to Diamond. So Power BI does have some AI or co-pilot integration based upon how deep or how we would want to do that. So as we work and develop and we find that some AI tools will be available, we can evaluate how that would work based upon establishing some AI best practices for the agency.

Great. Thank you.

Anyone else? Commissioner Aquino? Yes.

Yes, thank you, Chair. And great question, Commissioner Miller. Monica, thank you so much for the presentation. I do have a couple of questions. I do want to say I'm glad to hear that we continue to take technology as an important tool every day basis, of course. One of my questions was, you mentioned production environment. My question was, how long does it take for production environment to take once you move from one to the other? Paul or James, can you speak to that?

This is Paul Anthony.

Hi, Paul. Thank you.

Yeah, for the current contract that we have, roughly once the development is complete, it should take anywhere from two or three months to move into the production. So we have only two databases at this time out of seven databases. So that should be reasonably quick. Yeah.

Okay, and those databases are around here, right? Yes, yes, they are. My other question, it could be for Monica. Thank you, Paul, for that. Thank you. And I guess I just want to say, I guess better reporting results is important or imperative for our agency. They're essential, and for our city as well, because we need to continue that. We're a world-class city. Also, I guess it's more of a comment. We need to make sure people and users can't help understand what's going on in the businesses. So I think that's very important and critical. So I think that was it. My only main concern was the production environment, because it sounds like a lot. Two to three months. I thought it would be longer than that, but I'm not an IT expert like yourselves. But thank you. Thank you, Monica.

And I want to commend you with moving forward into this 21st century. To me, it's mind-boggling. And the question about AI is really important to me. AI to me is a blessing and a curse. I can understand it, and it will answer some of the questions and concerns and come up with solutions. bits and pieces of the answer, but they don't seem to capture everything you're asking them. So will the staff be able to stay on top of the information and move with AI and there be a number if you're not satisfied, please call, you know, and like customer service, you know. I mean, within your staff, it's for you. So will you be able to stay on top of that with AI? I'm still boggled about how this is going to work, and I'm just going to learn as we move forward.

Thank you. Thank you for that question. If I'm following your answer, AI responds to the data that is given. That data starts with us as staff. We're pulling information from our contracts. We're pulling information from a very different sources. AI will give you a response based upon us as a human being putting in the information. So if we were to ask AI a prompt to say, what was the number of sole source contracts from this year? They're going to pull information from that source. Part of the best practices with AI is us as the user to verify that information. So it's like a dialogue. If some report comes out and you do some cross-checkings and validation, you're like, that's not quite right. Then we can work with Jay or we can work as part of the service agreement to kind of modify that model. Or maybe we have to modify our prompt with AI to get the right information. Hopefully that answers your question.

Yes, and I'm just looking at where it says OCII, small business and workforce, and is this going to help us keep up with how things are going with notifying and our small business owners being a part of the work? Is that what this refers to? Yes.

In the presentation, I was speaking to the annual report that kind of speaks to how many small local businesses were contracted for certain services. What are our workforce numbers generated from some of the work programs that our contract compliance team does? It could probably pull reports from Our developer reports, like how many RFP responses did we get for Transbay Block 4? So it will do what we need it to do. So if we decide that, hey, we want to begin tracking a certain type of information, we can build reports for that.

Okay. That is helpful. Thank you so much. Thank you.

And I'm just going to jump in real quick and say thank you to all of you who do this work because it is mind-boggling and I haven't a clue how all this is going or where this is all going. But I appreciate the skill, those of you that are in this work. So thank you kindly. I do appreciate you.

Thank you. Thank you, Monica.

If there are no further questions, I'll need a motion for the item 5B.

I move to approve the contract with Diamond Technology Services. I second.

Thank you. It has been moved and second. Madam Secretary, please take roll.

Commission members, please announce your vote for item 5B when I call your name. Commissioner Lim. Yes. Commissioner Miller.

Yes.

Commissioner Shattuck.

Yes.

Vice Chair Aquino. Yes. And Chair Scott. Aye. Madam Chair, the vote is five ayes.

Thank you. Motion carries. Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

Next is agenda item number 5C, authorizing a personal services contract between the successor agency to the redevelopment agency of the city and county of San Francisco and Lower Case Productions, a California limited liability company, to provide website development services for a term of three years in an amount not to exceed $176,775. DISCUSSION AND ACTION RESOLUTION NUMBER 25-2025. DIRECTOR KOSLOWSKI.

THANK YOU MADAM SECRETARY. GREETINGS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. THIS ITEM IS ANOTHER TECHNOLOGY CONTRACT FOR LOWER CASE. AGAIN FOR OUR STANDARD THREE YEAR TERM CONTRACT. THIS IS A CONTRACT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR WEBSITE MAINTENANCE. OUR WEBSITE IS A GREAT SOURCE OF INFORMATION. WE OFTEN REFER PEOPLE for a public information request to our website. We have large documents such as development agreements throughout the city that are posted there, our plans, redevelopment plans, our design controls. So it's a very important communications tool for the public. And staff use it also as a resource as a handy location for the final version of something. So it's very important. So maintaining it is key. And to present this is Monica Davisteen, once again, HR and Admin Services Manager. Thank you.

Thank you. I thank you for this opportunity to present this website development proposal for your consideration. I will start with just some introductions and structure of the team for this project. Again, you have myself as IT divisions manager, which website sits under. We also have Commission Secretary Jamie, who is our website content lead. She's responsible for any updates to data, updating information to the commission site in general, just project manager point for website updates. And then we have Jay who also supports, Jay James, excuse me, who also supports backend support for the website, any updating of links, etc. Then we have Lowercase. We have Daniel Reeder, who's a managing director. We also have Andrew Sanchez with Lowercase, who's joining us virtually. He is the website designer and also Lowercase's creative director of the project and our project manager. And then we have Five Paths, who is a sub with lowercase, Eric Leland. His team is also a local LBE that also contracts with a lot of city departments, I believe MTA, et cetera. And so they're the ones who kind of work with the technical infrastructure of the website, our contact management system. And they will also be our disability and accessibility audit lead. They have deep experience in doing audit, website accessibility audits across city departments. So as a bit of background, in 2018, OCII selected lowercase to provide website design and technological maintenance of our website. In 2020, OCII was also selected to convert our annual housing report for use on the OCII's website. In a later slide, I'll show you what that meant. We used to just have just a PDF. the report and so at that moment we wanted to have more of a dynamic interface with the housing report on our website and diamond excuse me in lowercase led that effort over time the website became outdated and lowercase was contracted to update the website to create a more modern web identity to engage with the public this scope of work was completed in August of 2024 So this slide here gives you a snapshot of what the old website used to look like. You'll notice it was very text heavy with a lot of technical jargon that wouldn't be accessible to the average reader in the community. This is the new website. So you'll notice much more imaging, more streamlined, accessible sites. We have a clear navigation at the top. This is a result of all the work that the website team, I'm going to publicly thank Jamie and Jay and the OSIU team for moving this conversion forward. But now we're at the time where we need to kind of maybe refresh and reevaluate and maybe elevate other aspects of our site.

So this scope of work will include

Basically, four buckets. We're looking at website design and content updates. Like, for example, some things we may want to do is add some information about replacement housing, update our Work With Us section to make our current RFPs easier to find, highlight some calls to action like DALIA or COP programs, and also refine the overall housing report page. So I'll navigate through some sites to kind of demonstrate what we're speaking to. So this is our current home page. So we have some call-outs here. One of the things we may want to think about is how we want to add some dynamic information to the site to make it more engaging for people, make things easier to find. We have right now a site to the Dahlia site for people who are interested in affordable housing. Some of the things we're going to be thinking about is how we want to elevate that in its placement on the side or make it more noticeable for community members who come to our site. These are some of the design elements that we'll be working through. for the This is the annual housing report. It speaks to a lot of different sections. It could be organized by project area, etc. One of the key things that we're going to be exploring in this website maintenance and update is a re-evaluation of how this is organized. Is it easy for our community members to engage with? We'll be looking at evaluating this site. We'll also be taking a deep dive on our SBE, small business area, to kind of think about how we want to elevate the good work that our agency is doing as far as workforce development. Is there different ways that we can elevate that information so people get a true understanding of what our agency is doing and how we're servicing the community? We also want to take a look at our contracting page. It's like, how do we can best design this where it elevates our opportunities for small businesses, small contractors to bid on work for our projects? So we definitely want to elevate that, refine that, so people who have interest in working, small businesses, small contractors who want to work on our projects, they know where to go. and they can get the information they need to make a good presentation or to bid on our projects. So those are some of the highlighted pages that we're thinking about as far as design updates. So the first big bucket was the design work. The other thing that we want to work on is what they call the Drupal. Drupal is a system. that is used to create, manage, and publish website content. That is used throughout all city departments on their websites. It's Department of Technology. All websites uses that. We are anticipating a upgrade to that system, so part of which will impact how our background infrastructure of the website works and publishes. and lowercase will be working on updating that interface. That would also make it easier for our staff to do the things they need to do to the website as far as publishing content, updating links, etc. The next big scope of work is what is completing the City of San Francisco Department of Technology Digital Accessibility and Inclusion Standard Audit, ARDEIS. This audit will entail reviewing our website for accessibility standards for those with learning differences, a wide range of disabilities such as blindness and low vision. Is our website available in multiple languages, accessible on mobile devices? It's generally to ensure that our website is accessible to as wide of a range of the community as possible. The process of this would entail a review of our current website against the accessibility guidelines and standards established by the Department of Technology. And then once we complete the review against those audits or guidelines, we'll be updating our website to meet those guidelines to pass the audit that is targeted for spring of 2026. This is, once again, the housing report. We walk through that a bit. Some key benchmarks for the scope of work. Year one, we'll be conducting stakeholder surveys to determine priorities for the website content. Like what's first? Do we want to update the contract compliance? Do we want to update replacement housing? So just establishing the world of the changes we want to do and establishing priorities and timelines for that. Once we go through that process, lowercase, we'll be presenting some web page mockups and some dummy sites so we can see how the new website might work and troubleshoot all of that, refine that. Once again, we'd be looking at the home page, housing, the annual reports, replacement housing, et cetera, among others. We'll also be exploring a new website host, a higher value, just a better website host. We're currently with Dremhost. we can find a better host. So we'll be doing that and then also updating Drupal and also the audit. Year two, key benchmarks will be doing quality review and analysis and feedback on the website before we launch it. I'm calling that pre-launch. And then once we go through that whole exercise, we'll be launching the new website. That completes my presentation. Myself and lowercase and fivepath are here to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Monica, for your presentation. Well done. Madam Secretary, do we have anyone from the public who wishes to provide comment, question, or concern?

At this time, members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001, enter access code 2660821-5657, followed by the pound or number sign, then the pound sign again to enter the call. Please press star then 3 to be placed in the queue if you're already listening to us by phone Please press star 3 if you'd like to provide a public comment and we'll begin by inviting those members of the public Here in person to come up to the podium at this time if they'd like to provide a comment Seeing none moving over to remote callers Again, if you called by phone and would like to provide a comment, please press star 3 to raise your hand virtually. Madam Chair, it does not appear we have any members of the public wishing to comment.

Thank you. Fellow Commissioners, I look to you. Commissioner Aquino. Yes.

Thank you, Chair. Thank you. Great presentation once again, Monica. First of all, I'd like to say I can feel your excitement that you love this. And I love it. And that's why you're here, because you love what you're doing. So I just want you to know that I pick up that energy. Help me understand the DIAS audit, and maybe I might have, you mentioned that it will help folks with disabilities. Does that, you know, is that, will that help those who are blind? Will there be some kind of audio, or is there another way of releasing that information to those who are not able to see, may not have the low vision? And yeah, so I'll start with that, and then I just will finish off with something else. Thank you.

I'll introduce Eric Leland, PhiPath.

Thank you, Eric. Welcome.

Sure, thank you very much. Yes, the accessibility audit and remediation work is going to look at improvements that help anyone with disabilities be able to use the website. So regarding audio, the common tool set that folks are using are built-in audio players or third-party softwares that folks have chosen to use to read websites. And our job is to make sure that Your web pages have been built so that those readers can read it in a structured way with hierarchy. The first thing is read first, and the next thing is read next. And so we code those web pages to do that appropriately.

And thank you for that. And that's possibly using the AI as well?

We can definitely be looking at tools that are AI-generated tools. Mostly what we're doing is building the web pages to be highly structured so that all these tools that are following the same standard can read your web pages and read them very logically and consistently, allow the folks who are using the screen reader tools to start and to stop the reading as they wish and to play it in different languages.

Okay. Thank you so much for that. Thank you. And my last question, Monica, or just more of a, I mean, I looked at the website. Um, I think it's been up for a little bit now.

Oh yeah. About three years.

Well, yeah. Well, no, but the, with the candlestick image in the back. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. I'm just saying it just, it's always looked magnificent, magnificent for me, uh, to me, which is easier. It's easy to read. And, um, yeah, When you say higher standards, does that mean faster movement throughout the website? Or is it cleaner platform visually? Is that what your goal is?

I think that the goal is both. We want it to be visually engaging. We want it to move through the sites. fast. One of the key things we have to evaluate that because we have a lot of documents on our site. So our hope is and the goal is that background infrastructure, the Drupal interface makes that easier. We can think about ways that our documents are loaded, our interface to make that streamlined better. So that's definitely something that we'll be looking at as part of the website update and development.

Wonderful. That's all I have. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Monica, thank you. It was great to see this happening, and I encourage outreach to the small businesses, make it as accessible as possible so that we can get as many business contractors, small contractors involved in knowing what opportunities that the commission is providing. And I want to encourage the lowercase team's emphasis on accessibility, particularly font and size, text size, for us with old eyes. Appreciate it.

Anyone else? Commissioner? I have a question. It may be for Thor. I love all of this and getting people into a more 21st century technology with our website. And it's going to be more informative, easier to use, accessible for just about anyone. And my question is getting the people to the website. We've asked Thor about Ads and advertisement like at our bus stops, which would help people to know to go to a website. And ads that would have that website address on it. I know you're doing your work, Monica, and your team with updating the website, but getting people to the website. and helping them to know, do all this great work and folks don't know there's a website that will be very friendly to them, accessible for all, and then even to be able to pass that information out. Will the website also say, you know, anything about ads or will there be ads? any ads because what we found some of the ads that are out are not in the communities that really need these ads and they need to see it and they're on the bus they're around the bus stops and they hang around our bus stops but they don't know the information And we have lovely ads just with people's faces and children. But information that is crucial, especially for a time like now when housing is needed. And we're coming up and moving out with housing. And it would be great for them to have that information around them so that it's known. word of mouth, pass it out, and get it into our newspapers as well.

If I may, Monica. Thank you, Madam Chair. So in terms of advertising, as you're very familiar, our advertising is primarily around two activities. What we're doing, we have contracting opportunities of some kind, whether they be professional services for technology services, for example, like Lowercase or Diamond. where we have contracting opportunities through a infrastructure project or a housing project or a park project, and then when we have housing opportunities for occupancy preferences and occupancy of housing that we're building. and the outreach is targeted around those opportunities so that there's very little distance between the time that somebody is contacted and what the opportunity is, whether it's for housing or some kind of business opportunity. The communication we have is also through our website, but also through direct engagement with the community. The folks that we're trying to reach are often reached through some kind of workshop. Maybe it's a housing workshop, or maybe it's a pre-bid meeting of some kind that the contractors who are in the construction contracting business will attend. We'll work with our development partners, be they an affordable housing developer, or a general contractor who is trying to secure subcontracts for a project, be it parks, utilities, or housing. And we engage folks directly. We also engage them through lists. We maintain access to the city's local business enterprise list that generates businesses that have been registered with the city for lbes that also they do certifications for us for our small business enterprise and we'll reach out around targeted scope so if we're looking for architectural services for a housing project we'll find the all the architects that are registered in the city system and reach out to them we also use the mayor's office of housing community development list that maintains a list the people that have contacted them When we do outreach, we also communicate with people who have sought to be notified about our commission meetings. So people who want to get an agenda, we reach out to them as well. And then we host workshops at the commission. So these public meetings are also forms for outreach. If we're doing an RFQ for an opportunity for a development, we let folks know about this commission meeting, and then they'll reach out to us in this commission meeting. Our emails also contain a link to our website. Everybody's email has the website that's on it. I happen to have a link to the housing report and the contracting report that says, take a look here for opportunities for housing or contracting opportunities. So we try to reach people in many, many different ways. do everything, and we don't always do it perfectly. But we try and target around the particular opportunity, particular communities, particular forums, groups that have formed that want us to come present to them. We like doing that. So if anyone ever wants us to come out and talk about the opportunities that are related to our projects, we'd love to be there. Contact Jamie at the office here. Her information is on the website, and we will try and come see you.

Thank you, Director Thor. And if there are, go ahead.

Just adding on that real quick, I just went through an ad campaign with Clear Channel and MTA, so if anybody wants that information, I'm happy to share those contacts with you, if you want to do posters or in the bus stops or side of the buses or any of that stuff. But I did want to ask one question, and what you had just said, Dr. Scott, is the mobile stuff, does the website, do you... pick it up on the mobile because nobody I know that's under 30, 40 uses a computer. They all use this now. So is it all accessible on your phone?

Yes. Yes, our infrastructure, it makes it easier to engage on the web because everybody's using things through their phone or their So our website, that's also part of the accessibility audit, that it works on mobile devices. And then, so yeah, our website is designed particularly to work in those environments.

And it's, I'm getting better at it myself, it's that QR code thing that you like scan now, because I'm actually doing that these days.

Thank you for that. That's an excellent idea for us to think about how to add QR codes, because we can maybe add that in certain things. So people can just scan it and go right to a page or right to a report. So that's an excellent suggestion that we'll definitely look to build in.

If I may, Madam Chair, Commissioner Shattuck, thank you for that. I did a spot audit. of the website, a mobile spot audit. I just made that up. And the commissioner's pictures are excellent. I've looked it up on my phone. Commissioner Shaddix, you're not wearing a tie there, but I see you're wearing one today. So this is great. This is great.

I like to add, just so you know, while you both were discussing here, I did take a chance to look at the mobile device. And it looks great. I always look it out on my desktop, maybe a couple times in the past. But just went on there. It's very seamless. And I just want to point out, when you do have the QR code, you could text it to someone. Here's the trick about the QR code, which is fabulous, is that you just tap on it from a text. Just hold it down, boom, it takes you to Chrome or whatever your search engine is if it's others. I'm just pointing that out. But it's definitely for those that are 35 and under, yes.

And one thing I would also add, like one thing we can also look at doing is we have maybe engaging with our social media sites again, you know, so we can have hyperlinks to X or threads or, you know, whatever. So we can have hyperlinks to engage on the site that'll take you to Our website so we can update up we can really energize that work about our public releases our Openings our ground things. So there's a lot of things that we can do to make it To advertise what OCII does so we'll definitely be exploring that as well.

Well, that's exciting and thank you. Thank you for our director and Director Thor

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I could just add to my remarks earlier about communications and outreach. One critical component that I neglected to talk about was our Citizens Advisory Committee. We're, I think, the only city agency that's got a Citizens Advisory Committee for every aspect of the work that we do. We have one in Mission Bay. We have one at Transbay, and we have one for the Hunters Point Shipyard Candlestick. They each maintain a website, not a website, but an email list for people who want to receive communication about opportunities in their neighborhood, issues that are related to their neighborhood, projects that are occurring in their neighborhood. And so we use those outreach lists as well whenever we are communicating about opportunities in their neighborhood. In fact, I think the recent Transbay Block 4 RFP that went out for developers, we communicated with all of the Citizens Advisory Committee groups. So there were several hundred emails that went out notifying folks about that opportunity. So we try and augment at the community level, at the high level for the website, and also very targeted information, because folks who are working are really busy. And so we want to hit them with stuff that is pertinent to them, get their attention, so that they know when they get something from us, it's really important.

Well, as time goes on, that QR code seems to almost help with my thoughts about the bus stop. That'll become the best stopping for those 30 and on. Us older folks will just have to figure it out and work with what I do love about our Citizens Advisory Committee is they are now trying to get closer to our churches for information, community centers, and that information is getting out. The meetings are just about packed out. And so that's a wonderful thing. So Mr. James and I will just have to continue to go to church and attend our meetings. Put it in the church bulletin. Yes, and that's a good thing. If there was a mailing, I thought about that when you were talking earlier. And CAC does that mail out, so we can just ask them to get it to our churches, too, because they are excellent with their detailed information, simplified as well. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else? You see? And that does not mean replace us with younger folk. But, commissioners, if there are no further questions, I'll need a motion for item 5C. I do have a question.

You guys are going to work on a QR code, right?

And no change in price.

Nope. We get discounted.

Mr. James Good afternoon again commissioners Good afternoon. I have to say my name. I had a senior moment when I was up here before. And I want to mention the Japanese along with Western Edition and Hunter's Point as certificate holders. But you know, I've been doing redevelopment. First of all, I want to say you guys are doing a tremendous job. And I was reading through the last minutes on a person that was here. And I didn't really like some of the things that was said. I'm sorry I wasn't here. I try to be here at all the commission meetings. But back in the 60s, 1966 for an example, I was working for the Veterans Administration at 49 4th Street. And I used to go to the restaurants down there and eat lunch and what have you. And this is before they had the certificates of preference. To my knowledge, we didn't come up with the certificate of preference until 1968 when we, the people in Hunter's Point, jammed Honorable Joseph Alioto and Justin Herman. So in the 66, they were tearing down, they call it SOMA now. But I always used to call it South Park. But they called it something. But it was a lot of restaurants, Chinese restaurants. They had a lot of Italian restaurants and different businesses that was down there, pawn shops and what have you. And those people were displaced. And when I found out about the certificates, and I always try and bring this up at these commission meetings, those persons had never got a certificate. and they were displaced by the redevelopment agency. Now, I know back in the 50s, when I knew about the Chinese marketplace, the Abacador Freeway, the produce market, I should say, I don't know if they got a certificate or no, but I know they got compensated. So what I'm saying is anything that redevelopment went and tore down and what have you, I think those people should be compensated, whether they get a certificate or something. And it bothers me. I know we got a certificate because, like I told you before, we surrounded the building with Justin Herman and Joseph Aliotto and demanded what was going to happen to us. And we came with the certificate and the $4,500 that we received being replaced. So I'm just concerned about the people that was down on 4th Street or along that area. I know none of you guys was here. I remember the old commissioners before we used to come and turn over disks and what have you. We used to turn over disks when you guys were here. They had to have security guards and what have you. But we got you guys here now. And I'm saying you guys are doing a tremendous job. say you're not doing what you're doing for the betterment of the community, tell them to come see Oscar James. I'm still going to swing this cane, you know, because you guys are doing a tremendous job, and I just want you guys to recognize that. It's not, you know, and you're not getting paid. I want to put that in there, too, that you get that free lunch maybe, but sometimes it's not adequate. Thank you. I'm sorry.

Appreciate it, Mr. James, very much.

Thank you. If there are no other members of the public in person, switching over to our remote callers. Again, if you're on the phone and you'd like to provide a comment, please press star three on your phones. Madam Chair, it does not appear we have any other members of the public wishing to comment at this time.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Please call the next item.

The next order of business is item seven, report of the chair. Madam Chair. Madam Chair.

I am just excited. I'm very excited about where we're going, how we're moving, and the impact it's making. I am hearing the joy uh... the excitement and even laughter and we know what's going on in our nation it's not an easy time to feel chilly there's so many uncertainties going on I had the privilege of being a part of the Caltrans gave a meeting with contractors at Executive Park and just giving so much job information and training and modifying it in a way where they can still work if they have jobs, but come in for training for an hour. and go back to work, or training first and then work. And there is the engineer with Caltrans who is willing to do presentations, and they invited me as OCII to come and hear that as well. So I'm not sure, George, if you know about it, but I will share and give you that person's name and number. They're offering so much. The next was Doris Vincent, the ribbon cutting for the affordable housing, and to see the many people that have gotten in on that last week was just heartwarming, and it brought tears at certain parts, but it was just a wonderful time of celebrating, cutting that ribbon, allowing... people to know more about the information, the 73 units there. And then the very next day, going to China Basin, 400 China Basin. That was just absolutely amazing, too. First-time homeowners. having the opportunity to buy homes and get that handheld assistance because it can wear you out with all of the different types of paperwork and things that are needed and sometimes the language You may have it and don't really understand what they're asking for. But what was provided was a person of expertise with excellence that walked with people and got them into their homes. And to see such a diverse number of people and how young they were, and from Hunters Point and the different parts of the city, that just, it blessed me. It was exciting. and attending the small business owners, our merchant society, the Merchants Association in Bayview-Hunters Point, celebrating their 100-year anniversary. And there again, it was a summit, and there were so many small business owners that attended. And there were many people that had grants to give and to help the small business owners to stay afloat, move forward, or just raise the bar, as we're doing with our website. And they were saying they still have monies. Another window is opening. And at a time like this, to hear information like that. It warmed our hearts, tears were flowing, and folk got information that they didn't know was available. So if we can keep this up during such a time as this, As Martin Luther King said, out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope. These stones give us great hope. And I'm just so thankful for OCII. And OCII was mentioned. And Maria was there. It was just wonderful. It was a great time, great opportunity to hear things. And last night, attending the Sophie Maxwell a ribbon cutting, well, not a ribbon cutting, naming of the affordable housing and that opening up. I think at the beginning of the ceremony, 500 people had applied. And within three minutes, it went to six something and more. So we're doing something. And people are hearing. And we're moving forward. And housing is just being available. And I want to just announce that November 7, I believe it is, There will be a naming of affordable housing for Mr. Oscar James, our soldier. So we are so proud of this man of valor and honor who cares so much about this city. in our communities, that historian. I don't know, it just rolls off of him. And he has helped so many of us, and the gratitude is naming a housing behind this gentleman. So thank you for what you're doing, how you're doing it, and you just march on, even if you have to have that cane with you. you're going forward and you're still helping. And the younger men just, they call him their senior advisor and they listen to him. So thank you so much.

The next order of business is item eight, report of executive director, Director Kozlowski.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Once again, greetings, members of the public and commissioners. I was going to talk a little bit about those ribbon cuttings as well. And I want to thank Mayor Lurie for joining us. At both of them, he's a very busy man helping the entire city get back on its feet and doing a great job. And we appreciate him supporting our efforts here at OCII, especially our affordable housing program. And I want to thank the commissioners. You guys all came out to the Ms. Doris Vincent 275 Coleman event, ribbon cutting. I know Commissioner Shaddix had a wedding, which he is showcasing the tie, which is lovely there. I'm appreciating it, actually. I might have to borrow that. But 73 units of deeply affordable ranging from 39% to 100, excuse me, to 50% of area median income. So really targeting low-income households and families as well. So this is a family housing. And it honors, you know, a real... community warrior, Ms. Dorrance Vincent, who for decades has advocated in Bayview-Hunters Point after migrating from Georgia as a younger person, as many folks did during the World War II run-up, coming out to California from the South for great economic opportunities. And in my career, I've encountered her and worked with her. She's someone who I feel is probably the closest person to a living saint that I've ever met. Just so good natured, so wise, so nice, and always keeping the community above all, and just a great wise person. And I want to thank Mercy, our development partner, along with the San Francisco Housing Development Corporation, who both developed that project. It's an all electric building. which is the way of the future right now. So it's an impressive project. It was just over $72 million to develop that project. We had public art on there. I want to thank Jose Rojas, who is the artist in the stairway. If anyone is there, you can see it from the outside. If you're in the Hunters Point Shipyard near Innes Court, you can see this lit up at night. And also when the sun sets, you see it pouring through the window there. So just an amazing project. I want to thank Jasmine Kuo, who is in housing, who project managed that project, and Elizabeth Colamello, who before Jasmine was hired, was managing it as well. And the community who came out to support all that. That was just incredible. I was not at the 400 China Basin ribbon cutting, and I wanted to be. So thank you, Chair Scott and everybody who went there. I believe there were also over 100 attendees as well as Mayor Lurie. He's getting around. We kept him busy last week. Had him back to back events. Like you said, Dr. Scott, first time home ownership opportunities. Once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. And this was for folks targeting from 80% to 110% of area median income. And the folks worked like you wouldn't believe. The developer, Charmaine Curtis, Michael Simmons, as well as young community developers, an all-black-led development team, even the architect, YAE Studios, African-American. Just did a tremendous job. It's a beautiful building. I watched it go up. So impressed by it. And it's just adding to the vibrancy that already exists in Mission Bay. If you thought it couldn't go higher between these two stadiums there, the hotels, and the incredible housing, and the parks, and the bay right there, we just kicked up the level even more with that project. And that was a $134 million project. And I want to thank Pam Sims, who's been with OCI for a long time. She led that project. And it's just a real reminder how impactful we can be in the community, just in doing our job, just doing our job, doing the best we can all day. And I've said many, many times, I'll continue to say it until it's not true anymore, but it's still true, we have the best in class folks at OCIA. The smartest people I've ever worked with in my career. I've been doing this for 30 years. And San Francisco is just lucky to have them. And it makes San Francisco really the number one leader worldwide in innovation and community development. So thank you, everybody, for that and the work you did on that. I also want to provide a quick update for the Commission on the federal government shutdown and any impacts that it's having on OCII and our operations or projects. The shutdown began October 1st. and occurred at the federal level. My understanding is the longest shutdown that's happened was 35 days. So we don't know how long this may be reconciled, but 35 days is the longest. And right now, as best we can tell, there's no impact on OCII activities or projects as it stands right now. I spoke with our colleagues at the U.S. Navy, and the US EPA. And they're still working. Some of them may be furloughed over time. But currently, there are no issues. They're continuing their remediation operations. Those are primarily through private contractors. And the Navy's property management and security operations are still intact. So the 100-point shipyard is still safe and secure. And so we'll stay in touch with them as this progresses, if it does. I read an article recently, there's some reporting from KQED that I just want to pass on to the Commission. There are potentially, these impacts right now are still limited, you know, across healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act recipients and HUD. There's no disruption there. The TSA, there are no issues right now at the airports that we are being reported on. We do hear of some impacts that are occurring. The federal court system apparently is running on saved funds and may not last very long. We don't know. Again, this is just reporting from KQED. But we know that China Beach, the beach area, is closed. that has been impacted. We know that Ocean Beach, Stinson Beach and Muir Beach in Marin County, their parking lots are closed. So although you can go to the beach, the parking lots are closed. The Muir Woods National Monument, That's closed as well. And the mayor has stated that his office is monitoring the shutdown and remains in contact with the federal leaders for updates. And OCII, we are staying in contact with our federal contacts for our projects. But I wanted to provide you with that update as well. And that concludes my report for today. Thank you.

Thank you, Director Thor. And I just also want to say, on top of what you just mentioned, I'm so impressed. And the city is buzzing about the teamwork. And they're saying teamwork makes the dream work. Dr. King talked about his dream, and we're all holders of dreams, but to see people come together that are developers and create something that's going to help house, hold, nurture, grow, and develop this city and move us forward. It's amazing during this season we are doing this. San Francisco. And I really, I'm so moved by that because darkness is always overtaken by light. And that ushers in so much light throughout this city, the teamwork. And so again, Charmaine Curtis, Michael Williams, Nibian Baines, and Mercy OCII, all of us together at these happenings. And it's saying a lot to this city. It's saying a lot to us. And we really want to take that in and just continue to rise. Thank you. And so, Madam Secretary.

The next order of business is Item 9, Commissioner's Questions and Matters. Madam Chair?

Thank you, Madam Chair. And, Thor, thank you for that update on the larger picture of what's happening. I spoke to a family of a park ranger, two young kids, and the park ranger is not getting paid but showing up for work to keep people safe in the parks. Very moving, very troubling time. And on the happy note, the Doris Vincent and the China Basin dedications were so exciting to see the staff, the work from the office, how they worked with the community. The community was so grateful, and it was truly a celebration. It was rewarding being there. I appreciate that. And Vanessa was there at that. We got to tour our apartment and see a young single dad with three young girls have an apartment, beautifully finished apartment. And the architecture that these two facilities had was truly outstanding. So it was a privilege to be there. Thank you for that. That's all I have. Thank you.

Thank you, Chair, Executive Director Thor, Commissioner Miller. Yes, I'd like to add that as an employee of the airport, at the airport, thank you for that update, Executive Director, about the TSA workers. I do want to point out there has been in Santa Ana, California, or Santa Barbara, somewhere down there. Forgive me for the... Santa Barbara. Further down south, the air traffic controllers did walk out. So there could be, hopefully, like the mayor's keeping an eye on that. With that being said, on a lighter note as well, A couple of things I want to point out. And I want to piggyback off of what our chair had mentioned also that our city is buzzing. And I've been feeling that for some time this year actually that I'm feeling it too. Monica is definitely feeling it. With IT. But I just want to point out a couple of things I attended as well. It was great to be part of a historic moment at the Bayview with the Doris M. Vincent Housing Grand Opening. I cycled through the neighborhood on quite frequent trips. I've been also seeing the construction and all the work that goes on down there. My eyes are on the head and my ears are on the ground. I'm just really excited to see this happen to the great Bayview-Hunters Point Shipyard area. The exciting times continue to see that people are being housed and I think they have great size apartments. I think that's amazing. And I also do want to recognize as well the artwork that's on that building. I'm friends with Josiah Rojas. And also thank you to Pam Sims for her work. So that's one part that I went. I did cycle to the grand opening that day. So as I said, I ride my bike through there. The other thing I want to point out that is very important that is exciting as well is the Bayview Opera House, the Ruth Williams Bayview Opera House. I'm really excited to be part of that team there. Just want to point out a couple of things. This past Saturday, I was able to partake in the Afro Latino part of the Hispanic Heritage Month, the tail end of it. It was the Bayview Opera House, I believe, two years or three of the Celebrating Afro Latino. We had bands from Cuba, Ecuador, to salsa, Spanish hip-hop, and young group drummers. They were called Batuki. We also had Chochito Valdez, who's from the Bay Area. He's magnificent. Piano player. in the jazz world, as well as Los Calderones. They're from Cuba as well. High energy music that you just cannot sit still. So I just want to point that out. And I want to applaud Theo Ellington, the director of the Bayview Opera House. I think they're continuing to impress us with so much that that space can hold, as well as the SF Sounds this past Tuesday. SF Sounds is a live concert and content series featuring emerging black and brown musicians, designed as a forum for premium content creation. and multi-platform distribution recorded at the Ruth Williams Opera House with professional production quality. The series blends dynamic performances with artist storytelling and is distributed across digital platforms to amplify the visibility and reach new audiences. I got to experience that as well a week ago today, and it was magnificent. And lastly, I'd like to close out. Our mayor, Daniel Lurie just announced that if you're looking for a new job in San Francisco, there's this thing called the MEGA, M-E-G-A, Job Fair this Wednesday, which is tomorrow, October 8th. Over 50 local employers will be there hiring for hundreds of positions. It's a great opportunity to network and explore new career options. And it starts tomorrow at 12 o'clock. at 49 South Van Ness. And that's all I got. And I just want to say thank you to OCII staff, everyone for the continuous amazing work that everyone's doing. Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner.

I'm going to be brief. Thank you to my fellow commissioners and director, everybody for being at Mrs. Doris Vincent's dedication. Mrs. Vincent was an original board member of mine, and the job I have today is because of her. And she was also a neighbor. And she knew how to ring my doorbell. And believe me, she did. So she knew when things were getting tough, she was at my door. And she would, through the speakerphone at the door, she would say, you get down here right now. So I'd had many meetings in my lobby with her. And I miss her terribly. And I'm so sorry that I missed it. I was Uncle Earl doing the wedding shuttle from SFO to Lafayette, three round trips in one day. And let me tell you, I don't know how people do that. That traffic is unbelievable. And yes, this is exactly what I wore. I thought I'd treat you all to my wedding outfit today. But lastly, and in all seriousness, I hope you all had a chance to see that article in the Chronicle today. You know, I think what OCII is doing and the leadership, the builders, everybody is doing an amazing job getting affordable housing built in the city. Today's article, the one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco right now is $3,100 a month. $3,100 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. Plus, plus, plus, plus. You know, it's pretty serious stuff. And I just don't know who can live here anymore, you know, other than our, you know, higher income earners. And I just worry so much about, you know, so many folks in our own community, the baby hunters point that, you know... THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO. THERE'S NOWHERE. THE ARTICLE EVEN SUGGESTS THAT OAKLAND'S RENTS ARE NOW KICKING BACK UP AGAIN. I'M ALL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I'M SO HAPPY WE HAVE THE DOORS VINCENT HOUSING AND SOPHIA MAXWELL HOUSING COMING ONLINE. I HOPE TO SEE A LOT MORE REAL SOON. I DON'T THINK THERE'S TIME TO You know still we're not solving but I just want to I just hope we get a lot more housing built fast So with that, thank you all Madam Secretary Police call the next item the next order of business is item 10 closed session.

There are no closed session items Next order of business is item 11 adjournment madam chair. I

I will need a motion and second, fellow commissioners, to adjourn our meeting. May I get a second?

I'll second.

It has been motioned and seconded. The meeting is adjourned to 31 p.m. Thank you all for coming.
