knob hill in district 364sro units. and has 2 ground floor commercial units and throughout rehab of the project tenant lounge and lawned row facilities and property management office. the property was acquired by china town community development center in december 2021. and under went upon a significant rehab. you tell on the slide that the hard cost for rehabilitation were 3 times the acquisition with soft costs 3 and a half times. there was much work to do. in addition, the project is receiving a senior operating subsidy. the board of supervisors approved that in early april. providing 6.2 million dollars over a 15 and a half year term

for 35 of the units. so critical housing for senior there is and the subsidy enables the total rent to be 60% ami, tenants in the units will pay 15 or 25% rents. i uponed recognize that c c dc stepped forward tong about the long-term stability of the commercial units in contributing 338 thousand dollars to commercial upgrades during the rehabilitation and 100 thousand dollars once permanent tenants of commercial space are identified. this building was built following the earthquake in 1907. and over its history. it fell in disrepair. there were several notices of violation at the time of the

acquisition and history of unpermitted work. lots of life safety issues to address. after acquisition in december 2021. rehabilitation took place residential rehab was completeod schedule and the relocation also was contained a 12 mont period. some opted stay later while the commercial rehab was finished. all permits were finished in march 2024 and here we are today requesting your approval of a permanent lone on the project. include a couple of bulletos rehab scope i wanted note a few begin this building serves seniors. and elevator modernization it makes that safe and possible. there is also now accessible

kitchens and for the types of preferences they are in that regard. so, we have achieved a couple objectives with the progress and we will achieve a few more. at the time acquisition despite about 25% occupancy in the building there were over 150 tenants living there. and ccdc worked over time to occupy the vacant units and right size unit this is were over crowded today we are looking at 110 residents in the building. those that were permanent low relocated were begin tremendous assistance, half of the 8 house holds that were relocated secured section 8 vouchers the other half given assistance in finding housing and identifying resources that would work for

their household. the picture shows on the right is a yen of sign aspects that increased the sustainability and helped reduce operating costs. looking at lighting and energy star appliances. heat pump in thes basement of the with the permanent financing the building will be restricted for seniors as long as the senior subsidy is in place. 99 years of afford act through restrictions 60% of ami and the permanent loan funds operating reserves. this is an unusual structure ocd is providing reserve up front. the building can draw on if ever their operating costs exceed income but ccdc more then and

there matchd that with a contribution of 1.8 million dollars over 10 years in operating reserve. mostly so longz it as an operating subsidy the funds will not be needed but it is an important step upon and measure to make stewart that the building has a long-term sustainability and stable financial outlook. the total loan is 20, 900 thousand dollars. this is all soft debt on a 40 year term. the per unit subsidy sewithin small site's guide lines. project is part of the mall sight's program it is 64 units. we like to refer to this as a big site and i wanted note that the majority of the funds used for the loan from art university

the housing accel rirt fund and funds the sinking fund the project is projected jen rit an operating deficit following the expiration of the subsidy in year 15 of the project recommend approval of item 3. >> thank you. if i could make a comment before i call on supervisor melgar. i'm pleased to support this project. the thinga worries me if we want to do more small sites and i think we need to, is this with

this idea about the sinking fund. that in itself is a name already tells it all temperature is bisqually sinking money putting in the investments but no -- we know as a city and with our nonprofit partner i'm grateful for for our china town community development to come in to support this project. but clearly weer a journal tow garth as a city and nonprofit house and manager this we know that we near an endeavour that is staring down operating deficits for the longhaul. and so i'm really curious to learn that today. but just really as we continue around mall site what is is it we can do to may be to figure out ways to become revenue

neutral so to peek for the city and could it be identifying other source of funding from a state and federal level. could it be finding the consistent funding source for the longhaul. through other means within this the city's public financing tools that we can help sustain small sites and extend them acquisitions throughout the city that is my comment today and i'm looking forward to see more of these projects coming through. not in but with a thoughtfulness and potential fund that really subicize its for the longhaul. supervisor melgar. >> thank you. so much chair chan. i had similar thoughts. thank you for articulating that. i did have a couple questions.

specifically about the rehab. in when that does to the operating costs. if anything can be done. you talked about the electric cook top and it is energy efficient windows. how are the folks accepting the electric cook tops and in terms of the operations the heating costs. the electricity costs. if you have data about that over time? >> thank you very much for the question. with regard to the uptake of the electric cook tops, i will say our team toured the building 6 weeks ago at scomplufrn saw robust use. we also heard from ccdc they

intalled special grease traps above them knowing a lot of wo k based cook would occur and explain about the choices. they used a shower material for the walls to go over the walls in the kitchen for long-term maintenance expecting again that wear and tear. is there anything to add there? i was asking about the operating costs. is has it saved you money to not have gas or leaky winnose single paned? the operations over time? if there is anything that you wish could have been included in you know the scope work that would save operating costs. >> before you answer identify yourself and for the roeshd.

>> i'm shaning a project manager with china town cdc. i want it say that we after we acquired the building we had standard relocating residents on the building. we don't have a lot of historic data on what was electricity usage or the gas usage before we acquired the building. but we were as part of this we were able to put a lot of effort in looking at energy saving measures as well as we apply through programs that do a lot of including electric upgrades. plumbing installations? and lighting just to help us to look at different areas where we can help to reduce operating costs? but as far as how it compared to

previously we don't have a lot of data on that. >> thank you. >> thank you. and so with that let's go to public comment on this item. do we have members in the chamber who wish to address the committee regarding item 3. approach the lect urn. we have no speakers. >> public comment is closed. and vice chair mandelman. this project is the same concern as all small sites and so many i think all our affordable housing portfolio how to keep the buildings going over time given inadequate revenue for operations. that said, i'm glad to see it happening and grill to everyone who is working on and like to be add as a cosponsor.

people at the airport as budgeted and this creates vacancies and a need for additional over time and in addition there are -- special events during this fiscal year that increased the work load and dignitary visits. related that event. and the presidential election. we believe this is a reasonable request and recommend prove of item 7. >> thank you. >> i have a quick question. this is more for our controller. you know for when we reloose the budget for the police department last year, specific low we indicated we would like the quarter low report for the over time spending andmented to check in to see if and i understand transitionmented to see if the quarter low over time spending has been submitted for march? i don't think we received the march. i saw the december. >> good morning.

controller budget manager. chair chan, we have issued the memo on december 18, i did highlight this the police department was on pace to exceed the over time budget not only in the general fund butt airport fund. since this time we issued the 6 month status report and issued the 9 mont budget status report will indicate when we see here and talking about the over time projection and the spending and projected over spend of over time. >> thank you. so quickly on this. i'm looking at the over time you issue from that time december. i wanted to confirm in this looking at this and like the general fund impacted is still within the salary saving that the police department has indicated from the last fits

kwhal they have their fiscal year budget approved? >> yes. that's true. there was also the allocation for the apec. that was transferred to the department. but outside of that, it was projected be within the over all approved salary as originally approved. >> thank you. supervisor melgar. >> thank you, chair chan. i see amanda here. you know, i worry about the over time spending by both police and yesterday we heard about sheriff. i think it is in the good for the workers over time. it is not good for their families, either. it just it is not sustainable for a human body forriers to be working over time.

so, i'm wonder whatting is the plan? going forward? i know this upon in my own district we have been running on over time for you know mostly 2 of 3 precinct this is cover my district we are considered a bit less crime than the tenderloin or whatever the priority for new recruits is not there. that puts more stress. i wonder photocopy there is a specific plan for staffing back up for airport? you know we are always going to have special events and things going on. that's when we want this . is part of our recovery. so. >> yes. good morning deputy chief danielle perez. thank you for the question. so a couple of points to that you are absolutely correct the department is focussed on wellness. we had a department notice come out in the left couple of days that speaks to the amount of over time officers are allowed work. we have special assignments in the airport the platform and construction gates that are like

federal required have security. and as well as other assignments for high visibility presence went airport. looking at the figures for bart platform and for one of our other issues of the airports closed to the public from 10 a.m. p.m. to 6 a.m. in the morning the airport wants a police presence to make sure individuals are not trespassing. we used less than the a lotted over time we have available. i work on the figures we were for the bart platform budgeted for 12, 480 hours we used 1100 less for the. year we are focused apec put an additional obligation for members at the airport part of the police department to come to the city and assist. we don't have those type of

events planned this year this i'm aware of. dignitary protection like the controller's office mentioned is something this fluctuates we are grateful. you are correct because somebody can work an amount of over time does not money it is healthy for them. we are all facing staffing shortages in the mreechlt so not only is recruiting important but retention is. want our folks to be health and he happy and some day in the very distant future when they retire they leave in good health and with anything in tact they came in with. >> thank you deputy chief. why thank you. >> thank you. and i don't have other questions let's go to public comment on this item. >> do we have members joining us wish to comment on item 7? now is your opportunity to approach. and address this committee.

we have no speakers. public comment is now closed. and colleagues i would like to move this to full board with recommendation. and a roll call, please. >> on that motion to forward this ordinance to the full board with positive recommendation vice chair mandelman. >> aye >> member melgar. >> aye >> chair chan. why aye. >> thank you the motion passes. >> and with this mr. clerk do we have other business before us today? >> that concludes our business. >> i want to remind the public we have our budget and appropriation committee today, however it is scheduled a different time the regular time is 1. . 30 today we reschedule that to 11:30 a.m. with our enterprise department hearing the meeting is adjourned

[♪♪♪] >> i just don't know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. it is an experience that you can't have anywhere else in san francisco. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> district nine is a in the

southeast portion of the city. we have four neighborhoods that i represent. st. mary's park has a completely unique architecture. very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in san francisco. the bernal heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of san francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest

park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise café. it is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. >> twenty-fourth street is the birthplace of the movement. we have over 620 murals. it is the largest outdoor public gallery in the country and
