1
00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:19,950
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Alameda Kelly Fairgrounds and the Alameda Kelly Fair ad hoc committee meeting.

2
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:23,990
I'd like to start this morning with a question of allegiance, so I've other than advice.

3
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:28,390
Rose, would you read this?

4
00:00:28,610 --> 00:00:29,130
My pleasure.

5
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:29,690
Congratulations.

6
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:31,250
Congratulations.

7
00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:33,890
Congratulations.

8
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:35,570
Congratulations.

9
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:42,510
So

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,680
we will be taking public comments, I guess at the first of the meeting, if there are

11
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880
our hearing, there are lots, it's like you broke off.

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,940
You don't do the broke off.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,100
You don't do the broke off.

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,260
You don't do the broke off.

15
00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:58,840
Supervisor Miley.

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,440
Supervisor Halbert.

17
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:05,560
Susan and AC excuse, Drunk Holden.

18
00:01:06,380 --> 00:01:07,780
Rose Johnson here.

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,580
Chuck Moore, excuse, John Smith.

20
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:11,240
Here.

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,340
Gordon Galvin.

22
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:17,100
Excuse, Bill Harrison.

23
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:20,500
We have more.

24
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:21,280
We have more.

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:21,960
We have more than the word.

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,860
Thank you very much.

27
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,420
So if there is anyone that likes would like to make comments before we get started into

28
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:30,880
the agenda, please let us know.

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:39,250
three minutes for anyone. Anyone on the one with comments? I have no one long speakers.

30
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:41,450
Okay. Oh, yes, I do. I'm sorry.

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:43,980
Any?

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Oh, hello. Can you hear me? Yes.

33
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:51,860
Hello. Can you hear me? Yes.

34
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:58,820
Hi. Yes. I am with the creamers that I already counted as 4-8.

35
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:08,260
And I am going to ask, I'm here to speak to the exhibitors this year, you can see the

36
00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:18,080
letter or email from us, the staff of the fair, so animals and child animals are there.

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:27,360
They've put following the chief of the fire department, as the president said, we were not allowed to be

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,960
do for our children whether, well they're exhibiting us a fair. We have a lot of families who are,

39
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,500
they don't have a lot of money and all their money goes and you can see their projects animals

40
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:47,180
up until the days that we off to them off. They'll be trying to facilitate feeding of the children

41
00:02:49,260 --> 00:03:05,380
We are a little too stern that the fair use the people in the livestock offshines as the ones to say we couldn't have fair and they use bodies mean the pieces of the fire department scheme.

42
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,640
We have a lot of families who can really afford to eat every meal at the fair.

43
00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:19,680
We can do the service, we can afford to spend our money as a fair every day for every meal.

44
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:30,820
We would appreciate that we had a couple of people who are on the board to help us

45
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:32,700
to be able to facilitate being our children,

46
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,200
brain, meal film, and so that's a hobby for instruments,

47
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:39,960
instrumentals, and coming up with another hand

48
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,380
from it, we could still be feeding it because, um,

49
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:51,840
notice that on a season, the activity of staff is a little bit rude,

50
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:57,100
with people when we went to try to ask them what we're going on,

51
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,240
We can now, if you do, I think, feeding the children.

52
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:04,920
Maybe we wouldn't really appreciate it.

53
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:09,100
There was some kind of an investigation on,

54
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,280
you guys could like look into the matter.

55
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:20,240
That's not what it has to say.

56
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:21,240
There's a little bit of comments.

57
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:22,900
Yep, ma'am.

58
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Thank you.

59
00:04:27,870 --> 00:04:31,570
That's the district hers and it's participating as a member of the committee in this meeting.

60
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:36,590
So we had some conversation about that before we got started.

61
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:41,570
What is the understanding that he has to be?

62
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:43,390
It's on the agenda.

63
00:04:43,630 --> 00:04:45,310
It's number item one on the agenda.

64
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:46,810
He's going on this question.

65
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:48,350
Is this remote participation?

66
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:50,890
Is that acceptable?

67
00:04:51,490 --> 00:04:51,770
We're not.

68
00:04:52,690 --> 00:04:56,190
He can listen in if he's not participating.

69
00:04:57,010 --> 00:04:58,890
Alternatively, he could.

70
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:15,040
Well, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let me get to that. Okay, I can't, I will deal with it in number one if that's all right, everybody.

71
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,040
I do want to acknowledge he's in the room. We have Jerome as the CEO of the Kelly Fair.

72
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,480
We have Rose Johnson, the Vice Chair of the Association, myself as a President.

73
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:35,120
We do have board members in the room, Allen Aldrich, who is chair of horse racing,

74
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,980
who have John S. Hoffman and Ryan Milson, also here.

75
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:46,440
We have Steve Sir, our counsel, and then Angel Moore, the C-O-O, I think we was going to

76
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,200
be participating as well, as well as Vivian with our chief financial officer.

77
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,020
So I think that's everybody that's here from the Alameda Kelly agriculture fair association.

78
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,820
From our side, you have the Supervisor Miley myself.

79
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:03,400
Members of the Board.

80
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:08,420
You have, while Susan Mernichy isn't here.

81
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:13,000
We have Lori Cox.

82
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840
I know not participating and we have a clerk.

83
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:18,080
And we have a legal counsel.

84
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:21,380
Thank you.

85
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:21,680
All right.

86
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:26,320
So, with that, let's move to the first item on the agenda of the change in the committee members.

87
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:33,940
We have Frank M. Hof, who was no longer on the award.

88
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,920
And so, we replaced him with Bill Harrison, who is the chair at the Finance Committee.

89
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,000
So, what do we need Bill to do to participate in the meeting?

90
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,100
So two issues, one is that I get asked to put this item on the agenda, just so we haven't

91
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:55,240
covered record when the changes in the cooperation with the committee, because we haven't

92
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,040
been doing that.

93
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,920
I notice that this printed agenda doesn't have the island agenda list, the members, it's been

94
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,380
changing over time, and it's just, you know, okay, and we haven't been doing that yet,

95
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:10,620
I think that's been the right image, I think.

96
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Separately, to participate, we're about to,

97
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:21,360
remotely, requires to qualify for just cause

98
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,340
into the Brown Act, if he doesn't, he can listen into the

99
00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:25,880
meeting, that's fine, he's just couldn't participate.

100
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,060
Do you explain just cause and would you explain the Andrew?

101
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,440
The typical solution for a member to participate remotely,

102
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,440
It's dissipated in advance and understood to be done.

103
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:42,640
So would you explain that separately?

104
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Would you explain the exception to that, which you call just

105
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,940
cause that's kind of inside all code for things that we

106
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:56,220
understand, but maybe not everybody does.

107
00:07:56,580 --> 00:08:00,700
What that is, which is an alternative to the established

108
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:02,720
procedures for participating remotely.

109
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:12,300
Yes, so members of the committee can participate remotely if that is listed on the agenda

110
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:19,120
and the location from which they are participating and be identified on the agenda

111
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:27,220
and that location is open to the public as well so that the public can participate from that info location as well.

112
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:28,120
Alternatively,

113
00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:33,400
if they, if the member qualifies for just

114
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,260
causing the Brown Act, they can appear telephonically

115
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:42,720
or a Zoom without having that location identified

116
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,280
or open to the public, their limited number of times

117
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,760
that can be done.

118
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:52,620
And it also has to be substantive requirements.

119
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:59,320
either it's at Childcare or caregiving for child parent, grandparents, grandchildren, or

120
00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,480
children.

121
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:07,320
If they have contagious illness, it's a need for ways to physical or bad condition, that

122
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,460
isn't qualifying for the USDA accommodation.

123
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,020
The traveling on official business of the Legislative Body or another state or local agency,

124
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:25,300
They have a immunocompromised, child-parent-parent-parent-parent-parent-parent-parent-child-sit-ling-spousin-musty-partner.

125
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:31,060
There's a physical or family of medical emergency, a more military service.

126
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:39,280
So I don't know if this person has any of those issues that prevent him from appearing in the day.

127
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:45,880
If so, the state of generality does not need to disclose any medical circumstances for himself or anyone else.

128
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,740
just to say generally that if that is the issue, that that is the issue and if he doesn't

129
00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:55,640
qualify any of those he's probably the least in the number disabled.

130
00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:57,300
Thank you.

131
00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:58,560
So Bill, can you hear us?

132
00:09:58,900 --> 00:09:59,660
Yeah, I can.

133
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,260
I don't have a doctor's note, I'm recently home from over a week's day in the hospital, and I'm on IVN of

134
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:08,820
Iodic for the next month.

135
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:12,940
I don't know if that qualifies or not, but that's no fix.

136
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,160
If that prevents your dissipation physically today, then it will.

137
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:19,440
Okay.

138
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,220
Then yeah.

139
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:23,080
Welcome to the meeting.

140
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Thank you.

141
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:24,020
Thank you.

142
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:31,300
What? Good. I've got that one. Thank you, Sarah. What's we want to? Why don't you, the fair repap,

143
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:34,980
which is intellectual, and you feel like we're going to take this to this?

144
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:37,340
Yes, we have.

145
00:10:38,780 --> 00:10:40,960
Yes, please.

146
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,340
Thank you.

147
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:54,660
So we put together every year, post fair, a video of the highlights of fair, and then we will run the

148
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:01,140
some of the fair numbers and some of the community events that we put together so the

149
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:05,420
link you go to the next one.

150
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,170
Okay. I'm not really good. Of course, cup to right by there.

151
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,780
I'm not going to take us to our fair video.

152
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:13,780
I'd like to bring it in the next month or two. Okay. And then have the board approve that. And we can then refine the projection and know more clearly what we need to reserve.

153
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:25,360
And then I know that there was a surprise across and had a question. I'm not sure if this is this question but about the income level.

154
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,940
So 80% is about 75,000 for a family of four, right,

155
00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:31,500
from the chart.

156
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,560
You gave us before.

157
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,540
Yeah, that sounds right.

158
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:35,420
Yeah, and for one, it's 52.

159
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,320
How do you think this program is really going to go?

160
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:44,580
Because if you're below that level, would you

161
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,860
would a bank allow someone to buy a property?

162
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,080
I'm just wondering how you think it's really going to go

163
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,640
in real life?

164
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:54,920
Well, in this program, it will depend

165
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,900
on the projects that get selected and what kinds of financing the developers bring.

166
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,980
If, for example, Habitat for Humanity is selected as one of the developers, they often

167
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:16,760
usually bring their own financing and can target even lower than 80 percent. Other low-income

168
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:23,220
homeowner development developers may not have that kind of financing in which case you would need

169
00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:30,280
bring, we would need to either, we would need to either more deeply subsidize and leave A1 funds

170
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:41,380
a larger amount in or go closer to the 80% cap. So it will depend on each one but in this program,

171
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,060
given that it's development and we have A1 funds that can stay in to make the unit affordable

172
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:55,800
at that level. We believe 80% is feasible. But you believe people under 80, depending on who the

173
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,400
developer is, could qualify for this program. I don't think this is a program for people at

174
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:07,400
20% of a area meeting income. Have a chat historically and we're not saying that they would be

175
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,040
selected, they'll be a competitive process. But as an example, they have sometimes reached 50%

176
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:24,360
below. So we do think that 80% is reasonable target below 80% in below. And typically, and

177
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:30,420
I think we describe this, we're not, we're looking for the people that kind of forward

178
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:36,700
the unit if there needs to be a regular first mortgage that they can qualify for some amount

179
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:42,640
there. So it's usually not right at the 80% which we would target the prices to

180
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,300
below 80%, so that there's some cushion in there.

181
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:52,440
So you foresee these as being mainly like condo type things.

182
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:56,280
Not necessarily, it could be,

183
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,540
but they could also be new construction

184
00:17:59,540 --> 00:18:01,100
that brings other financing.

185
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:04,400
And there are examples in several cities of the county

186
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,060
where they've done home ownership development

187
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:12,620
that are usually either single or duplex type development

188
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Okay. All right.

189
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:26,620
I think those were those questions. So you can continue. Okay. So we had some speakers. I guess people wanted to do it by a number of years. So I meant.

190
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:40,940
Okay. So on this first thing, we had no well,

191
00:18:40,940 --> 00:18:45,600
Kyle, Council Member, Chris Ecclesias, and Gloria Bruce.

192
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:49,360
Thank you, Supervisor, President Chan.

193
00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:52,420
I thank you for the opportunity and to the staff and to the public.

194
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,860
Let me first express my gratification to the voters in Oakland and the county.

195
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:01,760
And throughout the state in terms of supporting bonds like this one to take care of our

196
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,800
our needy that currently being challenged when it comes to housing.

197
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,040
you understand very clearly that housing and every governmental body where you're at a school

198
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,840
district, you're in city government or at the county or at the state level, housing is a

199
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,420
priority and certainly recognizing the seniors that are currently on the streets of Oakland,

200
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,400
homelessness, and certainly those youngsters that have all their degrees are working, but yet

201
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,700
are being challenged to find a place to live. And that includes my three daughters and son.

202
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:37,580
So, I am here today to support the Unity Council and their efforts.

203
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,200
The fruitville Transit Village has been a development project for many years.

204
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:47,460
So, we've been looking to develop those public lands that are owned by the city in Bart

205
00:19:47,460 --> 00:19:54,420
to make sure that their public lands and I strongly believe public lands should be used

206
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:57,360
to support the public good when it comes to housing.

207
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,000
So, we're in the process now, the Bart...

208
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,580
And the city of Oakland have approved, as well as is very clear that we need to create affordable housing.

209
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:18,720
And certainly we have on on the application over 300 units, there will be developed with your support at the county level, city support and certainly the state.

210
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:28,120
So we ask for your support for the project that the approval of transit village be interacted by the energy council. Thank you very much. Thank

211
00:20:37,020 --> 00:20:37,900
you.

212
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:52,860
Good morning, President Chan, as you've advised of Carson, my name is Christy Gillesius, I'm the CEO of the Unity Council, and on behalf of our development team at the Unity Council and Ebalcy, I just want to really, first of all, thank the county for your support.

213
00:20:52,980 --> 00:21:03,460
I want to thank Council member Gio for being here and supporting this project and kind of where we're at in the project because we're at a really, really crucial point of the project.

214
00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:13,400
I want to thank Linda and Michelle from your team and all their efforts, especially early this year, when they helped us fill our financing gap for the project.

215
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:28,960
That was very exciting. It put us in a position to really kind of get all the financing together for the project, but I think right now as you know, we're at a very, very crucial time to close this deal, hopefully by the end of next week.

216
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,540
And so we can start a construction in November but it's going to require a lot of people to kind of get out of the comfort zone.

217
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,980
I know we've been out of our comfort zone for a while and we just want to share that.

218
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:40,580
You guys.

219
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:50,220
So, you know, I think as a last ditch effort, we were hoping that maybe you would consider a calendaring something next week on the 10th.

220
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,340
That would, you know, we could work out the details as far as what that's going to look like as

221
00:21:56,340 --> 00:22:01,580
getting us the proper information that we need to kind of satisfy all of our banks on the project

222
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:08,300
to close the deal, but if we could get something on the agenda and as the whole, I think

223
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:13,480
the October 10th agenda, what we could maybe finalize some of the details that would be something

224
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,060
that we would request. So thank you for your support and hopefully we'll get this wrap that

225
00:22:20,260 --> 00:22:30,820
So, Linda from, from your point of view and the, um, the auditors, what's the status of that particular project? You said you're working on the remaining four.

226
00:22:31,460 --> 00:22:40,060
So, um, I know that the treasurer met with a policy in the Unity Council last week. I was not able to attend that.

227
00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:42,760
Andrea, can you remind me where you're there?

228
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:51,080
And they came up with some ideas that the treasurer and I are scheduled to talk this week

229
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,540
as soon as possible, but not scheduled yet.

230
00:22:54,540 --> 00:23:01,340
And I know that the letter that was developed for other projects from the county administrator

231
00:23:01,340 --> 00:23:04,060
and the auditor controller that went to...

232
00:23:04,060 --> 00:23:07,060
I can't remember who signed it.

233
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,700
There was a draft of that letter that that

234
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,440
Ebalcy was presenting to the lenders to see if it would help.

235
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320
I have not heard anything back from Ebalcy on whether or not that

236
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,620
satisfied the lenders.

237
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,840
So we are working as fast as we can on that,

238
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,980
but I don't know that we will make the 10th.

239
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:32,940
So we have not solved it, although unless

240
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:44,940
The letter that was comfortable for the county administrator to issue previously is sufficient for their lenders, and I've not heard back from a ballsy on that.

241
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,440
Okay, so Chris, what is the deadline for this?

242
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,240
We're trying to have everything kind of wrapped up by the 13th, October 13th.

243
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:05,440
So I think, you know, we are attending, I would say somewhat positive response from the banks

244
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,540
on some of the options that we're discussing with the county that have been presented.

245
00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:15,400
And I also want to thank the Treasurer, Hank Levy, and his team and Susan's team

246
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,280
for meeting with us last Thursday. I think we made a lot of progress at that meeting.

247
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,860
So we definitely feel the commitment and the ideas that are flowing back and forth right now.

248
00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:32,060
But I think if we did need to come back to the board, I think it would be best to at least hold

249
00:24:32,060 --> 00:24:37,880
an item for the tenth. So in case there is some kind of resolution by then.

250
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:44,960
Okay, well they're going to, we'll keep working on it. We discussed it at the retreat last Tuesday.

251
00:24:45,780 --> 00:24:47,420
So we're aware that there's an issue here.

252
00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:53,360
Sorry, did you want to speak now or later?

253
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:55,300
You're later.

254
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,560
All right.

255
00:24:57,940 --> 00:24:59,600
Pastor Jennings, did you want to speak on this?

256
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:17,300
Good morning, thank you so much supervisor and to the staff. I want to revisit the question that you raised supervisor relative to the 75% relative to the AMI.

257
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:29,820
I think that all those staff has indicated that they believe that 80% of AMI will suffice. I'm just trying to draw some numbers together real quickly. I come from a mortgage background.

258
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:39,820
And so relative to this to $75,000 that will typically buy an individual if they have no other bills.

259
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:46,000
No other bills that will buy them about $500,000 worth of house.

260
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:49,920
I'm sorry, $350,000 worth of house.

261
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:57,880
And so if the average construction cost per unit right now is between 450 and 500,000,

262
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,000
therein lies the gap in how much of a subsidy would have to be taken.

263
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,540
So I believe that the amount should be about 120% of AMI,

264
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:13,380
which would then not really deplete all of those funds

265
00:26:13,380 --> 00:26:17,000
and so that they're continuing to be some funds available for future buyers.

266
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:27,860
Didn't we have language in either in the resolution or in the bond itself in terms of what the upper

267
00:26:27,860 --> 00:26:38,300
that in June 2016, the income limit for this program was 80% of AMI, and the income limit for the down payment assistance loan program,

268
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:52,220
which is intended to be used primarily in the market, was 150% with an initial target of 120% but an allowance to go up to 150% of area meeting again.

269
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:56,040
Okay, in terms of the comment that was just made,

270
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:05,800
in terms of the affordability of a certain kind of unit, you were saying it depends on the developer and the amount of subsidy, right?

271
00:27:06,220 --> 00:27:15,900
And then it will also depend on what the household that will be buying it bring, but the simple framework of it is we'll pay for the development costs.

272
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:27,900
And then leave the amount of measure A1 that's needed to make the unit affordable in on the property as a silent second long.

273
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:31,140
All right.

274
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Do you want to repeat the thing about the 10% because I know supervisor Carlson had questions.

275
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:44,720
So the 10% that proposed 10% for bond issuance and program delivery is intended as an initial cap for planning purposes.

276
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:52,820
And then the goal will be to bring back to your board the detail on what we actually are projecting,

277
00:27:53,380 --> 00:28:01,400
which as I said, CDA, I've been saying all along that my estimates for HDD and CDA are around 7%.

278
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:10,720
And so that 10% is a safe harbor for an initial, because they're also our bond issuance costs and other county departments.

279
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,120
the example I gave was County Council, where we are still working on the projections for that

280
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:23,320
with our other team members. So the intention is to bring back the detail on that to your board

281
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:30,100
as we've been talking about doing with the addition of the issuance and the other county costs.

282
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:37,200
I believe that will be less than 10%. And at that time, as the draft proposed policies say,

283
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:44,040
We would then release any amount that was not projected to be needed back into the program pool.

284
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:51,390
So I apologize because I try to catch up with today's meeting at the moment.

285
00:28:52,890 --> 00:28:58,910
So the 10% administrative costs is not 10% over the entire amount of the bot.

286
00:28:59,090 --> 00:28:59,990
It's per project.

287
00:29:01,110 --> 00:29:06,050
This policy would take the amount that was set aside for this program.

288
00:29:06,050 --> 00:29:08,210
And set. When you say this program.

289
00:29:08,430 --> 00:29:09,390
The housing development.

290
00:29:09,770 --> 00:29:12,450
Okay, so let's put a dollar amount to that.

291
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:14,230
That's roughly how much.

292
00:29:14,510 --> 00:29:15,310
How much is a month?

293
00:29:15,610 --> 00:29:18,030
So for the home ownership development program

294
00:29:18,030 --> 00:29:21,850
that would be 25 million and 10% of that would be 25 million.

295
00:29:22,350 --> 00:29:22,790
$2,500,000.

296
00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:26,250
And then that's, and it's only restricted to that amount

297
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:28,710
or what about the other $580 million.

298
00:29:29,070 --> 00:29:29,950
Each program.

299
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:34,330
We have the same proposed policy for the rental pools.

300
00:29:34,330 --> 00:29:44,330
We've not come back with any policies on the other programs yet, so we would be looking at that for those when we'd come back.

301
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:53,130
Because I mean, just like the simple math on the 25 million is 2,500,000, the simple math would be 58 million dollars.

302
00:29:53,130 --> 00:29:59,950
And so what's the accounting for each of those, since you're talking about projects?

303
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,960
By the project, or segment, what's the oversight in the accounting for that, so that we get an accounting.

304
00:30:08,180 --> 00:30:15,980
And does that include what would be all of the other, I don't want to say,cillary costs because they're costs of doing business.

305
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:24,140
But in terms of does that include project labor agreement costs and all of the other things that's factored in?

306
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:26,100
I mean, I'm trying to...

307
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,260
It would not include costs of the developers.

308
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:33,640
It would include costs of the county and the bond issuance.

309
00:30:34,260 --> 00:30:39,180
And the 10% is, I believe, higher than the actual numbers will be.

310
00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:48,200
So it's really as a cap that we will come back and give the board additional detail and more refined estimates.

311
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,700
So if it turns out that it's 8% for example,

312
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:57,760
we would return to percent to the pool to subsidize the housing.

313
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,620
Okay, so I would again go back because it's just complicated and you understand it.

314
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:05,680
I don't.

315
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:07,980
Bonnie, she went says it's going to probably be a total of what?

316
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:13,760
As we exhaust the body, she went 580 million dollars in total.

317
00:31:13,980 --> 00:31:15,460
The total bond is going on.

318
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:15,760
Correct.

319
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,700
That's definitely our target.

320
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:30,920
Right, and so you're saying that the simple math, which would have been 58 million, is probably not going to be a part of the administrative outcome.

321
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:45,680
I'm saying that I think 10% for the home ownership development program, and we've proposed a similar initial 10% for the rental, is most likely higher than what the actual costs will be.

322
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:51,040
and we want, we need to bring to your board more detail on the estimate.

323
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,100
We need additional information from other county partners and from the bond team on the issuance

324
00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:02,700
costs. But because we're bringing this to you today and we are hoping to move forward,

325
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:09,680
I wanted to put a safe harbor number in there so that we could, for planning purposes and so

326
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,300
that as we move forward in the next couple months, we can come back to the board with the

327
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:19,080
and come up with a final number.

328
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,640
So, and I don't want to take a lot of time on this because, again, since it's still complicated,

329
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,560
and I know that we're getting, well, anyway.

330
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:39,600
So, what was included in the discussion when the bond was initially discussed and approved

331
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,580
in terms of administrative costs? Was it 10% or what?

332
00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:49,340
There was not a percentage in the program that you're board adopted in conversation.

333
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,980
We were talking about 7% or less for the Community Development Agency.

334
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,840
And I believe that is still what we will come under.

335
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:06,240
So that was that's what was originally initially discussed was a 7% and approved.

336
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,260
No, it wasn't approved.

337
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,200
No, those were estimates that I presented as we were moving forward.

338
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:22,840
But it did not include any other county costs or cost of issuance, which is why I'm proposing this initial cap lead 10%.

339
00:33:24,780 --> 00:33:34,980
Okay, so do you see this being kind of like administrative costs by year or by program or type of staffing or?

340
00:33:35,820 --> 00:33:41,800
So we have for CDA we have some detailed projections of year by year.

341
00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:51,220
And I am working on the way to present those to the board for discussion, but I have not been able to finalize those to bring those to you.

342
00:33:52,400 --> 00:34:01,620
The cost of program delivery would be reported annually as part of the cost of the program and to the oversight committee and to the board.

343
00:34:01,620 --> 00:34:09,960
So the actual cost you're by year will be tracked by program area, the Outed or Controlors already set up

344
00:34:11,020 --> 00:34:22,480
Program by program accounts and they would and we have time sheet codes by program area in CDA and then we would report on those annually

345
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,380
Against the more detailed projections that will be bringing to your board. Okay

346
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:30,440
How much has already been allocated

347
00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:40,540
There's an amount that was the actual amount from last fiscal year, which was about 165,

348
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,660
something like that for CDA.

349
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,880
And then that's all that's been sort of...

350
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,020
So 165 million of the 580 million already?

351
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:52,440
Oh, you mean of the projects?

352
00:34:53,180 --> 00:34:53,300
Yes.

353
00:34:53,340 --> 00:34:59,280
25 million or less in this base city rental has been already committed by the board.

354
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,000
and next one.

355
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,780
Some of the notes we saved to them, we had almost a thousand notes left. It was just a beautiful display.

356
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:19,520
And then finally, our economic impact and fiscal impact to the community. They are a part of everyone's package, but it's also up on display.

357
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:30,080
So year-round, so fair and year-round, sales tax revenues generated by the venue $14.3 million.

358
00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:41,000
On hotel tax revenue, 186 million, our fiscal impact is 14.5, ongoing jobs in the community is nearly 2,000.

359
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:49,540
hotel overnight generated is near 17,000 and total visits to the property is about

360
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:56,900
111.44 million. This is not include off track bedding or the golf course.

361
00:35:59,810 --> 00:35:59,810
So,

362
00:36:00,390 --> 00:36:04,470
just wanted to share the economic impact with the Alameda County Fair and the events

363
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:08,970
are annually housed to the region. Any questions?

364
00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:11,610
Yeah. Right.

365
00:36:12,010 --> 00:36:20,310
Yeah. Very comprehensive and excellent overview of presentation, very, very thorough.

366
00:36:21,870 --> 00:36:26,610
As well as the seniors, I can help you get those numbers up with the seniors.

367
00:36:26,850 --> 00:36:27,050
Great.

368
00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:45,170
So folks, you're welcoming, you know, next the latest month will be holding the 23rd annual healthy living festival, and we have about over 3,000 seniors that come in from all over the county, to the open zoo, you know, all of the county costs us $50,000 of bus seniors in.

369
00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:53,030
So I think that would be a good opportunity for the fair to promote, because I didn't even know about your free tickets for seniors, and I think that would be great.

370
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:58,110
So we're sorry to my wife, but we should talk about that.

371
00:36:58,130 --> 00:37:01,170
And if you are interested in getting this issue,

372
00:37:01,810 --> 00:37:05,130
we're up to about 90, 90, 90, 90, but I'm going to try

373
00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:05,930
to squeeze it there.

374
00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:14,550
And then the rating is the rating on a scale of 1 to 10?

375
00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:15,650
Yeah.

376
00:37:16,090 --> 00:37:17,090
I think it's 1 to 9.

377
00:37:17,470 --> 00:37:18,470
I think it's 1 to 9.

378
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:18,630
I think it's 1 to 9.

379
00:37:19,090 --> 00:37:21,230
So you're about 8.1?

380
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:26,250
It was eight points that all confirmed that night that I believe it's a one to nine scale in the event

381
00:37:30,930 --> 00:37:33,890
There's not much more than the go in terms of getting that

382
00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:38,450
What would that be because that's what I mean?

383
00:37:38,610 --> 00:37:40,710
To get to the nine

384
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:45,690
What do you need to do to get to because you guys are doing an excellent job a phenomenal job

385
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:50,170
And you know, I take my head off you and what would it take to deny?

386
00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:58,150
So there's several categories, let me take a look at those categories, and I'll get back to you.

387
00:37:58,450 --> 00:38:01,090
When I get back to you about the seniors, I'll get back to you about the categories.

388
00:38:02,890 --> 00:38:12,150
And the only other two things, and these are just such things for me, I'd like the association to consider something for Scott.

389
00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:16,250
The commemoration for Scott out here comes, you know, the fair bit of life you did.

390
00:38:16,650 --> 00:38:19,750
And so I think there's something in the works on that.

391
00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:19,990
Okay.

392
00:38:20,370 --> 00:38:21,210
Go here at the fair bit.

393
00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:21,930
Supervisor.

394
00:38:22,710 --> 00:38:22,890
Yeah.

395
00:38:23,490 --> 00:38:26,630
The auction of Villian.

396
00:38:26,850 --> 00:38:27,150
Okay.

397
00:38:27,330 --> 00:38:28,590
We'll be renamed for Scott.

398
00:38:28,830 --> 00:38:29,570
And the Amagor.

399
00:38:29,690 --> 00:38:29,870
Yeah.

400
00:38:30,330 --> 00:38:32,290
The Scott had the Amagor for that.

401
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:32,770
Great.

402
00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:37,090
And then the only other thing is, I just noticed you had to flex.

403
00:38:37,330 --> 00:38:37,970
You're going to get a kettle.

404
00:38:37,970 --> 00:38:39,690
That would be a good one.

405
00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:40,590
Back up in your tooth.

406
00:38:41,270 --> 00:38:41,590
I mean okay.

407
00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:44,570
I mean that I've never noticed that.

408
00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:48,170
Now, if you can do that for a sec, how do we do that?

409
00:38:48,770 --> 00:38:49,830
So thank you.

410
00:38:49,830 --> 00:38:58,330
My curious, prior to the fair, March April, marketing sends out to all of the supervisors

411
00:38:58,330 --> 00:39:03,350
and a lot of different organizations kind of what's coming up with the fair.

412
00:39:03,350 --> 00:39:11,290
hopefully you can incorporate that. I know Supervisor Halbert has in the newsletter. I don't know if you do that or not.

413
00:39:12,290 --> 00:39:20,170
Yeah, so I think that's an excellent opportunity to mine some of those other groups when there may be seniors or you do some of the other things.

414
00:39:20,770 --> 00:39:22,410
Okay. Thank you for the information.

415
00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:24,110
How are you doing, sir?

416
00:39:25,090 --> 00:39:25,470
Hi.

417
00:39:27,870 --> 00:39:29,270
Is that everything for me?

418
00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:39,870
So, I usually would ask questions after, is there a public comment on each item?

419
00:39:40,450 --> 00:39:40,550
Sure.

420
00:39:42,690 --> 00:39:45,030
I like that there's any presentation, though.

421
00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:47,310
Oh, this is still the fair recap.

422
00:39:47,970 --> 00:39:48,350
Okay.

423
00:39:50,970 --> 00:39:52,450
Then I may have questions after that.

424
00:39:52,510 --> 00:39:52,770
It's finished.

425
00:39:55,350 --> 00:39:57,150
Good morning, everybody.

426
00:39:57,150 --> 00:39:59,690
on this morning.

427
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:07,920
We'll look at fair financials, we'll look at fair revenue by category fair net income, but before that let's

428
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,920
look at the Pharisees and all hires and modern care hours.

429
00:40:15,610 --> 00:40:16,610
I think I do.

430
00:40:17,170 --> 00:40:17,670
I don't see.

431
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:21,400
Sorry.

432
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:22,560
Close eyes.

433
00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:34,460
They're being let her.

434
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,740
She's working on it.

435
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:36,680
Oh, okay.

436
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,140
You guys are fighting.

437
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:38,080
Okay.

438
00:40:41,390 --> 00:40:42,430
If you can push your buttons.

439
00:40:47,810 --> 00:40:48,690
I think we can do that.

440
00:40:48,830 --> 00:40:49,330
I think we can do that.

441
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,210
Fortunately, I only had four slides.

442
00:41:13,810 --> 00:41:15,230
Not hearing us.

443
00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:17,110
No.

444
00:41:17,570 --> 00:41:17,770
Not good.

445
00:41:18,190 --> 00:41:18,550
Yeah.

446
00:41:19,770 --> 00:41:20,530
We're almost there.

447
00:41:21,230 --> 00:41:23,330
Now your, you need to go backwards.

448
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,600
I don't know if there's a line for that.

449
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,080
Thanks so much.

450
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:30,960
Okay.

451
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:34,900
So these are the seasonal recruiting and volunteer hours.

452
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:41,020
Fair applicants this year, 2026, we see 1,300, 509.

453
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,220
This is 226 applicants more than last year.

454
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,180
And out of that one, 359.

455
00:41:48,180 --> 00:41:55,660
Fairtime seasonal hires is 321 that's about 26-27% and

456
00:41:55,660 --> 00:42:04,240
Rehires people like the so much rehires is 43% of the total seasonal hires, which is a 138

457
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:07,920
Rehires volunteer hours volunteer

458
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,200
We have

459
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,460
735 volunteers this year last year

460
00:42:12,460 --> 00:42:18,900
So we actually had 137 less volunteers this year than last year.

461
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:26,900
It's one of our 666,612 volunteer hours that's 1094 less over here.

462
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:36,620
Then last year, charitable donations about 39,000 versus 42,000 last year.

463
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:45,080
So you can see because of the economic trend and pressure, it pushes the workforce from unpaid volunteer to pay.

464
00:42:45,580 --> 00:42:46,840
Any questions on this slide?

465
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,600
The Chief Secretary of the Communications, the Secretary of the Commission, to the fair.

466
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,380
To the nonprofit who send their volunteers.

467
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:02,440
Yeah, there's about 45 nonprofits that we pay, total about 39,000.

468
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,220
So there are a lot of people.

469
00:43:05,220 --> 00:43:07,240
We paid with a lot of credit.

470
00:43:07,460 --> 00:43:10,420
They'd buy some people in the booths.

471
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,120
I don't know.

472
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,820
Compense like that, based on it.

473
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,280
It's almost 40 million.

474
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:15,880
But there's nine thousand.

475
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,240
Yeah, the last year was 42 million.

476
00:43:18,380 --> 00:43:20,700
So they're not volunteers, but we paid that.

477
00:43:21,220 --> 00:43:21,260
They'd volunteer.

478
00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:22,360
They paid their organization.

479
00:43:22,380 --> 00:43:23,360
They paid your organization.

480
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,560
Some of the volunteers open heart kitchen,

481
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,260
Rice and Shine Youth Leadership and Boys Team Cherry.

482
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,620
There's about 45 of them.

483
00:43:34,740 --> 00:43:36,160
To make a donation look up.

484
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,500
Okay, next slide.

485
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,480
So these are pair revenue by category.

486
00:43:43,580 --> 00:43:45,280
We're looking at three year time,

487
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,580
bring 20, 20, 6, 25, and 24.

488
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,950
May I remind you that 24 was the year that we had

489
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,900
their forced racing.

490
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,800
And we started with the 500,

491
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,760
and then every bar, it goes up that by $500,000,

492
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,500
all the way to $1.5 million.

493
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:09,780
This year is in blue, last year, red, 2024, white.

494
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,300
This is admission, revenue, parking, revenue,

495
00:44:15,980 --> 00:44:20,720
concert, blue, and beverage, carnival,

496
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,660
sponsorship, and commercial vendors, and others.

497
00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:25,940
As you can see, most of these bars,

498
00:44:25,940 --> 00:44:30,060
We generate a higher revenue in each category,

499
00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:31,940
parking is about the same.

500
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,900
This year, last year, for a little bit higher,

501
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,780
but every other bars,

502
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,400
we generate a higher revenue than prior years.

503
00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:43,180
With the exception of sponsorship

504
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:44,780
and commercial vendors,

505
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:48,380
I think, combined we mystify about 200,000.

506
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,860
And that's because of the direct direction

507
00:44:50,860 --> 00:44:52,940
of the retail trend from

508
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:59,680
I'm going to, I'm all shopping mall, Fairbans versus Al-O-O-O.

509
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:13,390
Every day, average people that I run into have an opportunity to benefit from this and I guess I'm missing that and I'm not being critical. I'm just missing that.

510
00:45:13,730 --> 00:45:26,090
Well, this particular home ownership program will allow people who live or work in our county who could otherwise absolutely not afford to buy a home in our county, buy a home.

511
00:45:26,090 --> 00:45:37,330
It will not solve the home ownership desires of very many households because 25 million is not a lot of money.

512
00:45:38,110 --> 00:45:44,190
But it will target people who live and work in our county already and assist them in buying homes.

513
00:45:44,650 --> 00:45:52,070
The down payment assistance loan program, which has some additional money, also will do that.

514
00:45:52,070 --> 00:45:55,550
but in the market and for a more moderate income level group.

515
00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:58,190
The rental housing, as we've said all along,

516
00:45:58,430 --> 00:46:01,770
this is big and bold and more money than we've had locally

517
00:46:01,770 --> 00:46:05,730
in a while, but it will not solve the affordable housing

518
00:46:05,730 --> 00:46:06,210
crisis.

519
00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:13,010
It will make inroads in local housing for an income level

520
00:46:13,010 --> 00:46:17,050
that otherwise is beginning to be unable

521
00:46:17,050 --> 00:46:18,950
to afford housing in our county.

522
00:46:19,050 --> 00:46:20,490
It rental or owner.

523
00:46:20,490 --> 00:46:39,830
But, and housing in the market is not built for the income levels we're talking about, so the bond will assist people to stay in our county who otherwise are very likely to be displaced, but it won't do that for every single household. It's not big enough.

524
00:46:41,270 --> 00:46:49,730
I wish that we could do it for more with the state money, maybe coming in in the next

525
00:46:49,730 --> 00:46:50,470
if it passed.

526
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:51,690
I'm sure it's going to pass.

527
00:46:52,650 --> 00:46:56,410
But I was kind of excited about the home ownership thing because you said it might go

528
00:46:56,410 --> 00:46:58,230
down to 50%.

529
00:46:58,230 --> 00:47:05,650
So if you have a family of four that is making $48,000, $49,000, they would never be able

530
00:47:05,650 --> 00:47:07,590
to buy a house in this area.

531
00:47:07,590 --> 00:47:16,710
But under this program with the loans, they would be able to do it, so I guess that's the value of it.

532
00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:19,590
I mean, unfortunately, it's not as many as we feel but they could.

533
00:47:20,210 --> 00:47:26,770
And we know people like that, like say you're a child care worker and a waiter or something, right? I don't know.

534
00:47:26,770 --> 00:47:49,870
And I think looking forward, if we can, as we implement this program, show the success, show the households being served and leveraging these monies locally with state and federal and continuing to encourage and advocate for more money at the state and federal level. Hopefully we can do more locally and continue to increase the supply.

535
00:47:49,870 --> 00:47:50,030
Okay,

536
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:58,760
so on this, on this issue of the particular project, should we hear the rental thing?

537
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,840
First, is that okay with, you guys?

538
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,040
Okay, go ahead.

539
00:48:02,860 --> 00:48:03,080
Okay,

540
00:48:05,140 --> 00:48:14,540
so this is 425 million, it's that 225 million is in the base city allocations and 200 million

541
00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:16,760
is in the four regional pools.

542
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:25,800
The framework is that your board adopted in June of 2016 has the income levels at most.

543
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,340
We think we'll be between 30 and 60% of area medium.

544
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:37,020
There is a minimum amount of the 20% of the units being affordable to 20% of area medium income

545
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:37,700
or below.

546
00:48:38,380 --> 00:48:42,720
And then the framework allows a portion of the units and in the proposed policies

547
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:50,780
we're proposing a definition of portion for up to 80% of area meeting income to promote mixing

548
00:48:50,780 --> 00:48:56,060
incomes and developments. There's a focus on leveraging so that this money goes as far

549
00:48:56,060 --> 00:49:02,280
as possible requires a city financial contribution which is also defined in the proposed policies

550
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:08,800
and minimum affordability term of 55 years and then I mentioned the distribution. Also the

551
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,520
framework has taught the name to target populations of homeless people, seniors, veterans,

552
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:20,360
people with disabilities of all types, the criminal justice, reentry population, transition

553
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:26,300
age youth, and lower income workforce, definite priority for people who live and work in

554
00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:32,620
our county, flexible uses of funds, both in terms of the stage of development and also how

555
00:49:32,620 --> 00:49:37,220
the funds could be used within the framework of what's eligible for general obligation bond

556
00:49:37,220 --> 00:49:45,100
and a reminder that that cannot be operating subsidies or services needs to be capital expenses.

557
00:49:46,380 --> 00:49:50,100
The goal of maximizing the leverage producing the largest number of units,

558
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,320
funding the minimum amounts needed in order to make the units feasible.

559
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,000
And your board adopted that wages would be set that are equivalent.

560
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,520
The state prevailing wage.

561
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:11,760
We've had an iterative broad process. I think you're aware of that process, so I won't spend a lot of time on that.

562
00:50:13,340 --> 00:50:21,940
The income levels, so now looking at the proposed implementation policies, which include the policies of the framework and then additional detail.

563
00:50:21,940 --> 00:50:40,280
The 20% is there as a minimum, the 30 to 60 and then we are proposing that up to 5% of each allocation which would mean each base city allocation and each regional pool could be used to support units up to 80% of area median income.

564
00:50:41,260 --> 00:50:48,360
The target populations are still in there and that we would track them review annually who's being served who's not being served.

565
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:55,220
and potentially bring recommendations for particular emphasis and different RFP processes.

566
00:50:55,900 --> 00:51:02,080
We've made it explicit in the proposed policies that measure A1 funds cannot permanently

567
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,160
displace households.

568
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:11,360
For example, if developers are proposing to acquire an existing apartment building, and

569
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:16,340
there are over-income people over-income in the sense that they don't qualify under one of

570
00:51:16,340 --> 00:51:24,100
measure A1 income targets that they would those households would be allowed to stay and the units

571
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:30,280
would need to be dedicated to the income levels at turnover and then it also makes explicit

572
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:36,120
that if someone is temporarily displaced to in order to rehabilitate the unit or something

573
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:41,180
like that that they would get financial assistance that covers the cost of their temporary

574
00:51:41,180 --> 00:51:46,140
displacement and they have rights to first refusal to come back to the units.

575
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:54,380
The eligible uses remain flexible within the geobond.

576
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:59,820
We've increased in response to comment.

577
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:09,060
The proposed maximum A1 contributions per project per unit by 5% and put in language that would

578
00:52:09,060 --> 00:52:15,580
allow the board to approve a higher amount if needed for feasibility of a desirable project.

579
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:22,980
The city match policies proposed remain essentially the same as what was presented in July.

580
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:30,940
Having a minimum value that was equal to city imposed fees on development and a flexible,

581
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:37,120
having a flexible approach about what could count as match as long as it has a financially

582
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:45,380
determinable value and allows an initial administrative commitment at the time of

583
00:52:45,380 --> 00:52:50,220
application as long as there's a formal city commitment before the measure A1

584
00:52:50,220 --> 00:52:56,880
fund loaned close. And then we would incentivize additional leverage in

585
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:03,520
competitive processes. Additional changes or clarification since the July

586
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:12,240
version. This is a summary of them and I'll discuss them more on the coming slides, so I'll

587
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:18,320
just jump into the additional slides. In terms of fair housing and equal and open access

588
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:28,500
and priorities, the board, as I mentioned, we're working with County Council. We're proposing

589
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:35,220
that when the policies come to the board, we also bring a resolution that just solidifies the

590
00:53:35,220 --> 00:53:41,220
findings and the public purpose behind the name to target populations. It's just

591
00:53:41,220 --> 00:53:47,480
helps strengthen when we presented the program, the program parameters and framework

592
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:54,720
back in July of 2016 that contained a lot of that data. It's just cleaner to have a resolution

593
00:53:54,720 --> 00:54:01,220
that really spells out the needs, the priorities, and the public purpose served by those priority

594
00:54:01,220 --> 00:54:06,360
target populations. So we've included in your packet a draft resolution to do that.

595
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:12,020
Looking at the tools available to target the units to the priority populations,

596
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:20,300
we've listed a number of them, points in competitive selection processes, having regulatory

597
00:54:20,300 --> 00:54:28,300
agreements that name specific target populations that would be in the units looking at the marketing

598
00:54:28,300 --> 00:54:35,140
plans, which is a heavy emphasis. So we have a section that outlines at minimum some very

599
00:54:35,140 --> 00:54:42,580
extensive local marketing around the development, all the board offices, the 211, all of

600
00:54:42,580 --> 00:54:48,840
mailing list, like really emphasizing the live live and work local people in

601
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:54,120
Elameda County as well as reaching out to groups of faith-based and community-based

602
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:59,140
organizations that target the same or serve the same target populations to market

603
00:54:59,140 --> 00:54:59,740
those units.

604
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,340
This is the last slide I have any questions?

605
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:12,240
So, before getting a system, I just want to point out the employment situation that's affected by the fear.

606
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:18,340
We're approximately going to be around 28 million to 30 million dollars this year.

607
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,840
That's a pretty consistent number over the last four or five years.

608
00:55:23,820 --> 00:55:30,600
We have about 120 full-time employees during a four-week period of time.

609
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,220
That is increased by 321.

610
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:39,000
So we have 450 employees during that period with 750 volunteers.

611
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,320
Are we generate 14?

612
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,080
14?

613
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,900
A little less than half of our revenue during that four-week period of time.

614
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:59,380
It's pretty amazing when you think of the number of people that are on here, during that period and the number of people that it takes to make that happen.

615
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:08,220
So it's a testament to our staff, it's a durability to continue to generate the kind of readiness that we did.

616
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:09,200
Thank you, John.

617
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,260
When did we start selling online? Was it 25 or this year, 26?

618
00:56:15,180 --> 00:56:16,020
No, November, right?

619
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,080
No, but which year? Was it this year the first year?

620
00:56:26,260 --> 00:56:34,340
I guess electronic tickets people will come in and use their phone and you would have electronic tickets that.

621
00:56:34,340 --> 00:56:39,200
I don't think we used our phone at that time but you could buy online and come to the game.

622
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:46,000
That's when we were with E-Tix and the first year I was with the fair in 2013 that was a capability.

623
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,420
Did we make some change then, maybe? Was it with the phone?

624
00:56:50,020 --> 00:56:51,540
It would not have been.

625
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:58,600
It seems to me that we had tickets that we would text back and forth in a year.

626
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:00,820
Yeah, but how long have we been able to do that?

627
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,280
That's been any time you were with.

628
00:57:03,580 --> 00:57:04,840
Is that by our 2022?

629
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,440
That's when we were coming out of here.

630
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,020
We changed ticketing.

631
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,560
Is there any parking in you to buy it?

632
00:57:10,820 --> 00:57:12,180
I had a time. Yeah, touchless.

633
00:57:12,980 --> 00:57:14,660
When you went to cashless, it went to the hook.

634
00:57:15,860 --> 00:57:16,540
Thank you.

635
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:16,820
Thank you.

636
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:17,280
Thank you very much.

637
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:17,840
Thank you very much.

638
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:18,420
Thank you very much.

639
00:57:18,580 --> 00:57:19,000
Thank you very much.

640
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,600
Next we have to roll for the vision sign of thing.

641
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,140
Do we have any questions on this area?

642
00:57:25,420 --> 00:57:26,040
Public comment.

643
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:27,480
Public comment.

644
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,120
I have a public comment.

645
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:28,640
If I might.

646
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,020
On the ticketing.

647
00:57:31,180 --> 00:57:34,660
I know John had discussed it in the firm previous meetings about ticketing.

648
00:57:34,660 --> 00:57:38,880
I just want to tell the supervisors about a little bit of research that I've done.

649
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,340
We are in the most expensive care in the state of California to attend.

650
00:57:43,340 --> 00:57:45,220
to take it right.

651
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,640
I like to go to other fairs and tendons and see what they're doing, so that just makes

652
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:58,340
the available applicants to raise our pricing with their economy and so they're on people who

653
00:57:58,340 --> 00:58:02,580
can figure out something new. I don't want to put this into another fair season. If our friend

654
00:58:02,580 --> 00:58:07,300
is still out to be my honest still hold for our prices are at just because they're just

655
00:58:10,540 --> 00:58:18,240
The parking, I think, is relative to most fairgrounds that take your pricing, we're the most expensive fairgrounds.

656
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,120
Would you send that to me offline?

657
00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:26,840
So I'd be interested what the cost of living is in those locations that you're comparing it to.

658
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:32,060
But I think, as we do have a cost of living in the trust city area that we don't take care of.

659
00:58:32,060 --> 00:58:36,200
But we have it to high-rise market, half out of the world.

660
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:37,220
We also have the best work.

661
00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:38,020
They're right in there.

662
00:58:38,260 --> 00:58:39,860
I don't want to remind the rest of those.

663
00:58:40,380 --> 00:58:44,040
I'm sure their cost of living is relatively about the same.

664
00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:46,300
Let's take off the living property.

665
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:48,300
All that in the consideration.

666
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,280
How much cattle and gas are there?

667
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,400
Any on one comments?

668
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:54,780
Okay.

669
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:56,220
So we...

670
00:58:56,220 --> 00:58:56,700
Oh, I'm sorry.

671
00:58:56,900 --> 00:58:57,760
Yeah, it's a product report.

672
00:58:58,100 --> 00:58:59,860
One quick thing.

673
00:58:59,860 --> 00:59:19,440
I just want to point out, I'm sure to commend the fear too, with the FIFA, and watch parties because I don't think I really enjoyed power to the 30th of the Coliseum, and our staff could achieve that if you achieve that, so I didn't even know that I was taking place here.

674
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:20,720
So, yeah.

675
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:21,900
Very popular.

676
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,180
Here's like a break, watch the game.

677
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:27,620
The other way back to the fair, didn't even know that.

678
00:59:27,620 --> 00:59:34,200
So that's why I think, I don't know what you're going to do with the consultation or whatever.

679
00:59:35,660 --> 00:59:38,540
But I mean, just let everybody see that as a market.

680
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:39,760
It was really great.

681
00:59:39,980 --> 00:59:43,040
Because there's a lot of information there. I just didn't know myself.

682
00:59:44,540 --> 00:59:45,040
Thank you.

683
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:49,800
We can move on then to the item three vision plan progress on update.

684
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,080
I'll speak to some of our projects real fast.

685
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:59,900
Um, I think last time we met with right around the time we did the ribbon cutting for the foot saw.

686
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:12,020
Complex sets out by the All-Trac activity facility. It's getting good use now. Best time to see it is in the evenings around anywhere from 4 to 9 o'clock is when it gets pretty active with children.

687
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:14,860
So I think they're doing well.

688
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,460
Is that a rendering or a live photo? One on the left is a rendering. These are live photos.

689
01:00:26,610 --> 01:00:32,230
this year in I think of April we get a ribbon cutting on our new West Plaza. We just

690
01:00:32,230 --> 01:00:38,070
called Plaza Now. This is what it looks like. This is the concrete patterning in the

691
01:00:38,070 --> 01:00:45,790
Plaza area. It was very well received by fair time by the fair yes. This is underneath the

692
01:00:45,790 --> 01:00:46,110
canopy.

693
01:00:49,820 --> 01:00:56,440
This is not that exciting but for staff it is. This is our new Power Terminal from

694
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:01,180
PG&E, this took about two and a half years to accomplish and replacing the one on the left.

695
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:07,180
This had to get done because we were underpowered at the farmhouse and so now this project

696
01:01:07,180 --> 01:01:12,060
is done or excited about it because it will allow further growth in other areas.

697
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:19,420
We're embarking right now on the OTV Facility Remodel, trying to utilize this building more

698
01:01:19,420 --> 01:01:25,180
effectively. It's still a very good money maker for us, the off-track vetting business.

699
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:32,540
But this building was built in the 80s. It's finally called the big pink building.

700
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:39,240
So we're embarking on a remodel trying to make it get more utility out of it.

701
01:01:39,540 --> 01:01:43,900
So we can still maintain our off-track vetting business in it.

702
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:50,340
currently we still have Bingo two or three nights a week corporate events we do do some

703
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:55,120
corporate events in there but really not enough to justify so we we believe once we've

704
01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:02,300
got it cleaned up in a better modernization of the look that we'll do more it'll be capable

705
01:02:02,300 --> 01:02:08,540
of doing more musical performances maybe comedians and other community meetings so we're excited

706
01:02:08,540 --> 01:02:15,180
about this. We're also embarking on more of a rebrand, Iron Horse 1858. This is kind of

707
01:02:15,180 --> 01:02:20,100
meaningful to us because 1858 is the first year the track was built by Bernal himself.

708
01:02:20,700 --> 01:02:26,040
And then Iron Horse is a nod to our Iron Horse trail in the railroad that came through this

709
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:31,740
area, the spur line that came down through Pleasanton. So we're going to kind of rebrand the building

710
01:02:31,740 --> 01:02:36,660
for, so that it's more attractive for more activity out there.

711
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,560
This is kind of the inside renderings that we're working through,

712
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:45,140
so you can see it's very loungy, and it's a nod to railroad and horse racing.

713
01:02:50,150 --> 01:02:56,950
This is the Grandstand Plaza, the roadway, and the wine garden project that we're working on right now.

714
01:02:57,150 --> 01:03:00,250
This giant white area is the Grandstand.

715
01:03:00,570 --> 01:03:04,410
This is where our existing Plaza with the fountain is.

716
01:03:04,410 --> 01:03:15,030
And so we have a project that's with the county now through permitting, it's in three phases, it's 1, 2, and 3, so this is the wine courtyard.

717
01:03:17,050 --> 01:03:23,290
Each year, for as fast as we can afford to do it, we will be tackling one of these phases.

718
01:03:23,970 --> 01:03:31,090
It's going to take care of ADA compliance, it's going to give a more pedestrian feel rather than feeling like you're out on an asphalt parking lot.

719
01:03:32,090 --> 01:03:34,290
This is the phase one right here.

720
01:03:34,510 --> 01:03:36,970
This is the fountain plaza down here,

721
01:03:37,010 --> 01:03:40,850
and this is out in front of the grandstand where

722
01:03:40,850 --> 01:03:42,970
sometimes during fair we put a stage right here.

723
01:03:43,450 --> 01:03:46,830
So we're tackling this shortly this year

724
01:03:46,830 --> 01:03:48,790
in the 2026 budget.

725
01:03:52,380 --> 01:03:53,920
Again, this is a rendering.

726
01:03:54,220 --> 01:03:56,560
This is the area we're going to be working on

727
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,660
as well as this very large shape canopy

728
01:03:59,660 --> 01:04:02,340
that's going to run the length of the road.

729
01:04:02,340 --> 01:04:05,900
So that there's a lot more shade out there for the customer.

730
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:13,560
So when Nate enters through gate 12 and wants to drive through there.

731
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,140
Well, we'll be able to do it.

732
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:18,980
I mean, there's still be the 20-foot road.

733
01:04:20,620 --> 01:04:22,100
And let me show you over you.

734
01:04:22,380 --> 01:04:25,140
But this still has to maintain all the fire access.

735
01:04:30,670 --> 01:04:32,970
Same photo just a different angle.

736
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:38,980
There's your roadway for name.

737
01:04:39,580 --> 01:04:41,240
All right.

738
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:49,400
We're also in discussions with a few different partners that are potential for pickleball complex.

739
01:04:50,340 --> 01:04:57,580
This has not gone anywhere with the board, but it is a discussion of utilizing this zone more effectively for the community.

740
01:04:58,620 --> 01:04:59,920
This little bit of a proposal.

741
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:09,040
Well, it's talking about 34 courts with the addition of a competitive court also for something like tournament

742
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:17,080
play and professional. So we think this has got some excitement around it because there is a commercial

743
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:25,000
kitchen in this building that can also help be utilized for this kind of activity. So I'm hoping in the next

744
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:30,880
year, so you'll be hearing more about this as we figure out how to move this through a process,

745
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:37,100
whatever GSA says is appropriate for the development and whether it makes sense economically.

746
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,000
And then this is our farm project that we've been working on diligently.

747
01:05:43,660 --> 01:05:45,180
Phase one is already complete.

748
01:05:45,580 --> 01:05:47,720
Is this safe way barn right here?

749
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,420
And now we are working on all of this garden space.

750
01:05:52,560 --> 01:06:00,400
The architecture and engineering is currently being done right now and is being funded by the fundraising of the foundation.

751
01:06:02,300 --> 01:06:06,360
The big part of this is locating all the utilities for future phases.

752
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:11,700
So for example, these three buildings right here and five buildings.

753
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:18,320
We've got to make sure before we build all this garden space and everything we do, that all the pipes are underground for the future phases.

754
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:34,180
The mess taken us a bit of time, it's also doing all the analysis for C3 storm water treatment in one phase, so we know what's going to happen in the future, and making sure everything that we do out there is ADA compliant.

755
01:06:36,890 --> 01:06:42,090
And then lastly, I said C3 storm water compliance, the property.

756
01:06:42,090 --> 01:06:47,490
As we do these projects, you have to now, the new rules for the waterboard are that you

757
01:06:47,490 --> 01:06:51,050
have to treat the water from each zone of your projects.

758
01:06:51,890 --> 01:06:56,710
Well, because some of our areas are for pedestrians and we can't have bios wells in the

759
01:06:56,710 --> 01:07:02,350
middle of it, we're working with the county right now to actually create to the south end

760
01:07:02,350 --> 01:07:07,510
of our RV campgram, a bio-retention planter down here

761
01:07:07,510 --> 01:07:13,070
that's going to accommodate 88,000 square feet

762
01:07:13,070 --> 01:07:14,510
of treatment for us.

763
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:17,150
And by doing so, it's actually going to give us

764
01:07:17,150 --> 01:07:20,590
about 40,000 square foot credit for future projects.

765
01:07:21,430 --> 01:07:23,970
So we think this is a really economical way

766
01:07:23,970 --> 01:07:28,130
to build in the properties C3 requirements for the future.

767
01:07:29,590 --> 01:07:30,730
And that'll probably be on the budget.

768
01:07:30,730 --> 01:07:35,310
this project will be on the budget for 2027 as we move forward.

769
01:07:38,580 --> 01:07:43,400
Those are all the vision-playing projects I can add, answer any questions if you have some.

770
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,220
So our vision right now, too.

771
01:07:45,580 --> 01:07:51,980
Yeah, if you could go back to the OTV facility model,

772
01:07:56,220 --> 01:07:58,020
you want me to do it or I don't want to mess you up.

773
01:07:59,240 --> 01:07:59,700
Which one?

774
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:00,800
Back.

775
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:01,880
It was back.

776
01:08:08,910 --> 01:08:12,870
So that's a rendering, this is a rendering, how would it be?

777
01:08:12,890 --> 01:08:15,830
It's still pink, it's not beige, correct.

778
01:08:16,830 --> 01:08:17,910
The next line.

779
01:08:18,970 --> 01:08:20,090
It's going to be beige.

780
01:08:20,730 --> 01:08:21,050
Yeah, yeah.

781
01:08:21,450 --> 01:08:23,630
These renderings are these live.

782
01:08:23,910 --> 01:08:26,430
These are rendering, nothing has been started yet.

783
01:08:27,050 --> 01:08:28,650
Okay, so no work has been done.

784
01:08:29,230 --> 01:08:31,010
We've done some stuck-up patch on the exterior,

785
01:08:31,010 --> 01:08:33,990
but that no real work, it's in permitting right now.

786
01:08:34,210 --> 01:08:34,890
It's in permitting.

787
01:08:35,090 --> 01:08:36,530
What's the total cost?

788
01:08:37,450 --> 01:08:40,670
We think estimated about 1.2 million, 1.2.

789
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,580
And we're doing this in partnership with two different organizations.

790
01:08:50,030 --> 01:08:51,430
Say our first hand.

791
01:08:52,430 --> 01:08:53,030
Prime time.

792
01:08:53,430 --> 01:08:53,510
Time.

793
01:08:55,110 --> 01:08:57,050
And then the grandstand, the next one.

794
01:08:59,590 --> 01:09:03,350
The total, what's the total project for that?

795
01:09:03,810 --> 01:09:04,530
Right now.

796
01:09:04,530 --> 01:09:09,330
And most recently, all three phases, about $1.9 million.

797
01:09:09,890 --> 01:09:15,610
And so none of it's been done, just drawings and planings and the

798
01:09:15,610 --> 01:09:18,750
like how much has been expended for each.

799
01:09:19,050 --> 01:09:23,050
I think for engineering, probably about $100,000.

800
01:09:23,870 --> 01:09:25,610
And then it's in Germany.

801
01:09:26,750 --> 01:09:27,670
It's in Germany.

802
01:09:28,150 --> 01:09:29,410
You're in a permitting process.

803
01:09:29,550 --> 01:09:29,890
Correct.

804
01:09:29,890 --> 01:09:31,050
The tail end of it.

805
01:09:31,230 --> 01:09:33,330
And you're working with our GSA team.

806
01:09:34,510 --> 01:09:41,930
This is past GSA, it's with county building building too, building department, okay.

807
01:09:42,030 --> 01:09:42,390
Nice to meet you.

808
01:09:43,010 --> 01:09:44,190
I sure come over quickly.

809
01:09:44,890 --> 01:09:47,610
So you think there's a big market for pickleball, huh?

810
01:09:47,830 --> 01:09:47,950
Yeah.

811
01:09:50,230 --> 01:09:56,710
So that rendering is done by someone that is very much encouraged by pickleball.

812
01:09:58,630 --> 01:09:59,430
It's not ours.

813
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,440
We're done with that. We've done a bit of revenue announcement. That's big for the fair.

814
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,640
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. We're good.

815
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:14,160
Because that's not easy. Look at Futsal. Futsal is about 450 thousand.

816
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,820
Think it's about the 380 as a size that we landed on.

817
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:24,460
And that's pure rent. This project really has we haven't gone very deep with these proposals

818
01:10:24,460 --> 01:10:26,860
because we don't want to get ahead of the potential

819
01:10:26,860 --> 01:10:31,580
monster plus act or whether this needs a more formal RSP.

820
01:10:32,860 --> 01:10:35,320
That's why we're working right now with GSA to say,

821
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,620
you help us tell us what he want done.

822
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,160
And we don't want him to step before we even get started.

823
01:10:41,340 --> 01:10:43,080
And so, my only other question is,

824
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:43,900
with all the projects,

825
01:10:45,140 --> 01:10:47,120
there's a fairly solar level here

826
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:48,420
that becomes really the solar.

827
01:10:49,300 --> 01:10:52,160
Yeah, the fair has over two megawatts of solar.

828
01:10:52,160 --> 01:11:03,000
All of the partners are covered in solar, the Safeway barn is brand new, solar that actually just got finally activated in June with PG&E.

829
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:07,160
We have the new solar cannabis that are out in the VIP and Horsesman's lots.

830
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:17,680
The Amodore Pavilion is covered in solar and then in our building, building A was part of that project as well.

831
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:25,900
And, in fact, a portion of this, the county was a supervisor of Haggerty, we put the loan together with him.

832
01:11:26,340 --> 01:11:30,280
So, we have about, I don't know, maybe four or five years left on the loan.

833
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,440
This is the safely barn, also.

834
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:41,540
The safely barn is actually an educational piece because it's bifacial, solar, and it's tiled, so it's water shedding.

835
01:11:41,740 --> 01:11:45,960
Water doesn't drip through it because of the new technology that we used on that.

836
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:53,820
I'm not a part of that water segmentist, eventually, show that people, the kids have come

837
01:11:53,820 --> 01:11:55,800
there, how are we recapture water?

838
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:05,920
And I believe I'm correct, Jerome, the three phases of the honines and the plaza rework,

839
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,080
we're undertaking the first phase of that this year in 2006.

840
01:12:11,780 --> 01:12:15,320
Correct, the first phase, I'm hoping that's to start in the budget.

841
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,420
in the next month, they're permitting runs through properly.

842
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:23,320
The other portion is part of the 2027 and beyond budgets.

843
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:24,200
Okay.

844
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:26,020
What's the cost of pickleball?

845
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:26,800
Estimated.

846
01:12:27,220 --> 01:12:27,540
Cost?

847
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:28,240
No idea.

848
01:12:28,780 --> 01:12:29,640
We have not.

849
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,520
Do you mean to apply the game?

850
01:12:32,100 --> 01:12:32,360
No.

851
01:12:33,180 --> 01:12:36,940
To train and install 32 pickleball courts.

852
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,340
For us?

853
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:39,040
Yeah.

854
01:12:39,260 --> 01:12:39,600
We would.

855
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:42,360
Oh.

856
01:12:42,980 --> 01:12:46,560
So you would enter into a long-term waste with a pickleball association.

857
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:53,500
I don't think there isn't steel has been determined that it could be a lane lease if we go through lane surplus

858
01:12:53,500 --> 01:12:55,520
It could be a partnership with the fairgrounds

859
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:02,660
It could be a licensing agreement that the fair, you know, we may participate in an own portion of it

860
01:13:02,660 --> 01:13:06,540
But none of that is you know, there's still a commission visions part of the position

861
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:14,100
Possibilities and then on on the off-track bed and facility

862
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:20,040
I rock-track betting all the dollar-wise is because of Golden Gate deals closing.

863
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,580
We've been able to capture that.

864
01:13:23,580 --> 01:13:24,960
It's able to drive here from there.

865
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:25,660
Yeah, sure.

866
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:27,560
Any other questions?

867
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,060
Any questions online?

868
01:13:31,740 --> 01:13:31,840
Yeah.

869
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:32,360
Yeah.

870
01:13:33,060 --> 01:13:33,240
Oh.

871
01:13:34,220 --> 01:13:35,540
Probably trees will be removed.

872
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,020
We'll need to do the grandparent area.

873
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:42,200
I think that I counted eleven and six will go in its place.

874
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,140
Those are the big island trees that are tearing up the asphalt.

875
01:13:48,140 --> 01:13:58,080
There's a second one, so in the race or a place that was a six minute, what would you say you cut out 12, 12, can you replace it with six?

876
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:03,140
Well, we replace more than that in other areas, but in that zone, yes.

877
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,280
Chair, I do have an on-line.

878
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:08,400
Public comment.

879
01:14:09,180 --> 01:14:09,340
Okay.

880
01:14:09,900 --> 01:14:10,140
Online.

881
01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:11,060
Go ahead.

882
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:13,080
Katie?

883
01:14:13,700 --> 01:14:14,220
You're on the line.

884
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:14,940
Reporting.

885
01:14:17,780 --> 01:14:18,180
Hi, guys.

886
01:14:18,180 --> 01:14:24,240
I'm not aware of the agenda so unfortunately, I've been through the whole meeting and I have to go.

887
01:14:24,900 --> 01:14:29,420
So I just want to interject at this point when you are planning these facilities.

888
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,300
I didn't see anything that had to do with the Amodore Pavilion besides naming it after Scott.

889
01:14:36,100 --> 01:14:45,160
And I'm hoping that kind of things I understand we got these panels a couple years back and we got the wash racks which were nice.

890
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:50,240
But unfortunately our take for injured honours on the boss racks has no

891
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:51,740
to put any breath through.

892
01:14:52,060 --> 01:14:56,160
So the take clip and a few of our take we're injured and we're not able to show.

893
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,960
So this is also just to remind you that

894
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:26,680
When this property was donated to the Gallaudet Accounting Fair, it was with the intention of the 4-HDSM A kids actually being able to show there and becoming recalls adults, and while the safe way is beautiful, I really believe that it is the responsibility of the 4-HDSM A kids to be teaching the public about their projects.

895
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:33,980
So, it was nice to have something for them, showing for them on these plans.

896
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:41,140
I think it was all kind of screaming, said, we have received a letter, we had received a letter.

897
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:46,280
All of the parents who came to the letter, saying that we could no longer support for our kids.

898
01:15:46,900 --> 01:15:47,900
That close to the barn.

899
01:15:48,740 --> 01:15:50,720
And fortunately, the letter came from Renee.

900
01:15:50,720 --> 01:16:02,600
But as I talked to Jim, the supervisor afterwards, he's the one that says he will donate right the letter, however, he said it was the key that holds him and it was not.

901
01:16:02,740 --> 01:16:09,720
It was the fact that he's worked for other fairs and he knows that the states who are in laws are regarding that.

902
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,740
And so he interjected and had renace them the letter.

903
01:16:13,860 --> 01:16:17,680
And fortunately, he did not put his name on the letter and said that it was from our fair.

904
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:24,840
So, I think just coming from the parental part, I've cooked breakfast for all of the FFA kids a couple

905
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:26,340
of times during the week.

906
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,780
We just don't know what's happening, and so that's that that's that it was kind of like

907
01:16:30,780 --> 01:16:32,000
the start to the wildfire.

908
01:16:32,340 --> 01:16:39,480
So, there's a little bit of a fear of obviously being picked out of the fair, the whole process

909
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,900
of how accounting fair was started is being pushed to the side.

910
01:16:45,660 --> 01:16:54,560
So, if you still can thank you guys, I'll take consideration in that and just are a little bit more aware of the reason why we actually have a fair.

911
01:16:56,650 --> 01:16:58,630
That's it. Thank you.

912
01:16:58,930 --> 01:17:02,070
Thank you. Anything else online?

913
01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:04,930
Yes, I have an excuse.

914
01:17:11,340 --> 01:17:12,260
I don't know, that's it.

915
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:14,800
Do you have something?

916
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:21,080
Yeah, I just want to thank the speaker for the comments and make sure everybody is aware

917
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:28,860
that the staff, the board of the fair, are very aware of any different items and concerns

918
01:17:28,860 --> 01:17:29,940
in the livestock area.

919
01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:35,600
For example, the new wash rack that was implemented is to slick and so we got a wealth

920
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,680
of the concrete.

921
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:43,860
We dealt with a barbecue issue this year that is going to be discussed at the next three

922
01:17:43,860 --> 01:17:45,740
clock meeting related to agriculture.

923
01:17:45,780 --> 01:17:52,480
So it's going through the proper committee process now, and all of those comments have

924
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:54,940
been heard and will be addressed through the committee process.

925
01:17:55,460 --> 01:17:56,360
So thank you.

926
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,880
I'll also weigh in and say that I appreciate the comments, indeed.

927
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:11,300
I recognize that Alameda County Fair is an urban fair.

928
01:18:12,100 --> 01:18:17,080
In the middle of a, it's not really urban, it's more suburban,

929
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:24,220
but we've transitioned to more of an urban fair

930
01:18:24,220 --> 01:18:26,740
and we're continuing that progression.

931
01:18:26,740 --> 01:18:35,660
And whereas, indeed, we still have an obligation to honor a heritage in our culture.

932
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:42,400
And so, while we treat it as an urban fair or a suburban fair or more of a commercial

933
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:55,140
economic development fair, it wasn't that when it originated and I think we can talk about

934
01:18:55,140 --> 01:19:13,260
How we got there but I'm going to talk about maybe towards the end of the meeting, how our board's vision, I think, needs to be taken into account with regard to maintaining the agricultural aspects of this fair.

935
01:19:13,260 --> 01:19:25,140
And to recognize that we express that in forms of our contract, which we'll talk about later.

936
01:19:26,260 --> 01:19:41,040
And our views of what this fair is and will become and will be our views expressed in our contract to be implemented by our agent.

937
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:52,800
And I think that this one commenter is one commenter, but it's comments that I've heard

938
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:59,140
time and time and time again from a not so small part of our community.

939
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:09,820
We'll work on this together. I have no doubt. We will continue to be what I said this summer. The best

940
01:20:09,820 --> 01:20:13,720
county fair in the state may be the country.

941
01:20:15,950 --> 01:20:18,710
But we're going to do it together. We're going

942
01:20:18,710 --> 01:20:25,550
to set direction and follow direction. So that's enough of that for now. I don't need

943
01:20:25,550 --> 01:20:28,530
go into more details at this point.

944
01:20:28,530 --> 01:20:29,770
Thank you for the presentation.

945
01:20:30,650 --> 01:20:34,070
Not only the vision, which I understand is vision,

946
01:20:35,170 --> 01:20:40,210
visionary, not set and stone, although, I mean,

947
01:20:40,450 --> 01:20:43,090
if it's in progress of being implemented in the

948
01:20:43,090 --> 01:20:45,710
performance stage, it's not really vision.

949
01:20:47,550 --> 01:20:51,510
And I guess our next informational item will be also

950
01:20:51,510 --> 01:20:52,490
very visionary.

951
01:20:53,810 --> 01:20:55,390
Let's go to the next time.

952
01:20:56,650 --> 01:20:58,850
Anything else on item three?

953
01:20:59,490 --> 01:20:59,730
Good.

954
01:21:00,410 --> 01:21:03,330
Go alongside and forward the hotel development project.

955
01:21:08,230 --> 01:21:10,070
We look to see how many of this.

956
01:21:10,150 --> 01:21:13,830
Yeah, I was going to say actually was put on by you.

957
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:15,610
This is standing item.

958
01:21:16,310 --> 01:21:18,950
The hotel is a piece of vision plane.

959
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:22,610
Right now there is not a developer to be worked with.

960
01:21:22,610 --> 01:21:28,010
of our last meeting that what's important is that we work through the Lancet Plus Act

961
01:21:28,010 --> 01:21:33,630
or not, whether the county's process would be, so that when financing finally becomes

962
01:21:33,630 --> 01:21:37,210
available, of course, a project like this that we're ready to go and we're not going

963
01:21:37,210 --> 01:21:43,210
to be unable. So, it should remain a standing item since there's an action to be taken,

964
01:21:43,550 --> 01:21:49,410
I believe, the committee, and the county's already committed to working through that process.

965
01:21:50,350 --> 01:21:56,170
I'm not pretty too exactly what the process is, but we're two years in the making on it.

966
01:21:56,630 --> 01:21:59,490
So I don't know if there's any other comments I know Kimberly couldn't make it today.

967
01:22:00,290 --> 01:22:02,390
Andrew, this is more of a legal question.

968
01:22:03,490 --> 01:22:09,880
Have we had any recent discussions in either at the staff level,

969
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,920
or I can't remember, forgive me, if I'm missing something,

970
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:25,520
have we had any discussions as a board saying a close session around surf-lossing land?

971
01:22:26,460 --> 01:22:28,260
I wouldn't stop for a board.

972
01:22:28,580 --> 01:22:32,020
I wouldn't talk about what a board discussed in the close session, but

973
01:22:32,020 --> 01:22:33,400
just whether we had had a discussion.

974
01:22:34,260 --> 01:22:38,240
There was a discussion that this community, I want to say a couple of years ago,

975
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:42,190
we talked through what the surface laying back process is,

976
01:22:42,190 --> 01:22:47,210
And that was following ruby genes to the guidelines,

977
01:22:47,810 --> 01:22:51,150
which functioned my gradulations, but out by the state,

978
01:22:52,310 --> 01:22:53,890
causing it to be relevant, agency.

979
01:22:55,810 --> 01:22:58,290
Since that time, there's really been no change in the line.

980
01:22:58,550 --> 01:23:03,550
So it's really whenever folks want to go through that process,

981
01:23:03,590 --> 01:23:07,490
which could happen, how or it could happen,

982
01:23:07,490 --> 01:23:12,590
The closer in time to when there is a project in the world,

983
01:23:13,430 --> 01:23:16,550
simply declaring that the properties are less than going

984
01:23:16,550 --> 01:23:22,230
through the notice and the opportunity to primarily

985
01:23:22,230 --> 01:23:26,870
afford housing developers, but also school districts

986
01:23:26,870 --> 01:23:30,570
in the open space providers to negotiate

987
01:23:30,570 --> 01:23:34,930
your faith or regarding this position or property

988
01:23:34,930 --> 01:23:36,370
and you know, turning into one of them,

989
01:23:36,610 --> 01:23:38,170
and it's a project that they developed,

990
01:23:39,690 --> 01:23:42,070
and they're doing that or one of it

991
01:23:42,070 --> 01:23:43,970
that those two things in which you should

992
01:23:43,970 --> 01:23:46,250
don't produce one of those projects

993
01:23:46,810 --> 01:23:49,490
presenting the phone or the remote idea of the project.

994
01:23:50,090 --> 01:23:53,250
So it's really a timing question of when,

995
01:23:55,770 --> 01:24:00,310
the county and the association want to move forward.

996
01:24:01,130 --> 01:24:02,410
And to say, if you have a network,

997
01:24:05,410 --> 01:24:12,050
What's the process, so it's sort of chicken and egg, which comes first, do they, does

998
01:24:14,350 --> 01:24:21,690
the fairboard request the county to surplus the land in which case balls in our court?

999
01:24:21,710 --> 01:24:24,230
We decide whether we want to do that or not.

1000
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:31,190
And we can then say we would consider surplusing it after you have a project, because what

1001
01:24:31,190 --> 01:24:35,750
heard was they want to get ahead of that so that they can move forward with the project

1002
01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:41,070
and finance and become available. So it feels like just trying to clarify.

1003
01:24:43,530 --> 01:24:44,470
The request has

1004
01:24:44,470 --> 01:24:55,250
been made, yes or no, to surplus the land that where the hotel is contemplated. Is that correct?

1005
01:24:55,250 --> 01:24:56,790
Now it's my death request.

1006
01:24:57,190 --> 01:24:59,970
Yeah, I'm multiple of them.

1007
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:09,680
You want to build more units, but you don't necessarily have to make sure that those meet the affordability numbers.

1008
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:19,380
No, to get the density bonus, you do have to commit to a certain number of units at specified income levels, a developer with no subsidy.

1009
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:28,240
With no subsidy, you're just required. So if you have a hundred unit building and you're required to have 10% of them at 80%.

1010
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,780
in order to get to that 100, you have to have it.

1011
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:36,240
So the intent of the policy is that we don't want to subsidize

1012
01:25:36,780 --> 01:25:40,900
met with measure A1 funds, something they're already required to do.

1013
01:25:41,220 --> 01:25:45,360
We want to use the measure A1 funds to either add more affordable units

1014
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,640
or make them more deeply affordable, so that there's an A1 benefit.

1015
01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:54,460
That's different in addition to what they're already required to do.

1016
01:25:56,190 --> 01:26:09,850
So, I guess, at some point, maybe you've already done it, you kind of have a number already known in each of these buckets of how many units will actually be constructed.

1017
01:26:10,910 --> 01:26:19,130
Or how are we overseeing or following the count of actual units that are built that are affordable?

1018
01:26:19,130 --> 01:26:21,530
So, we are tracking that.

1019
01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:29,110
We have looked at various ways of projecting, but it really depends on what other subsidies

1020
01:26:29,110 --> 01:26:30,170
are available.

1021
01:26:31,170 --> 01:26:36,250
And so we don't have a final number other than to maximize the number of units.

1022
01:26:36,550 --> 01:26:43,490
And with the addition of new money coming at the state, for example, if the federal home program

1023
01:26:43,490 --> 01:26:48,290
is totally defunded, which is threatened every fiscal year lately, the last few years.

1024
01:26:48,290 --> 01:27:02,770
You know, that'll be make it harder to create more units with the new state money coming that will make it easier to create more units, so it's really dependent on not just the measure A1 funds, but everything else that's happening in terms of other financing.

1025
01:27:04,610 --> 01:27:17,290
Okay, so again, I guess since the community passed this, it just seems as though there's deep concern that we we're using our.

1026
01:27:17,290 --> 01:27:23,890
a bond opportunities here to develop affordable housing. But at the end of the day, people want

1027
01:27:23,890 --> 01:27:31,530
to make sure that the outcome or affordable units. And I guess we need to figure out a better

1028
01:27:31,530 --> 01:27:37,810
way to tighten that up. That seems to be another issue that's consistently raised from people

1029
01:27:37,810 --> 01:27:43,910
in the industry out of the industry or just commoners. And I'm not sure whether and I guess on some

1030
01:27:43,910 --> 01:27:56,270
Do we have any kind of the oversight that's going to be engaged in this because I think that we need to do that as well?

1031
01:27:56,770 --> 01:28:02,110
I'm not clear on the first part of your comment in terms of the concern about affordable units.

1032
01:28:02,110 --> 01:28:13,010
So, the thing that I've heard from the experts, and again, with all the respects, these are not individuals who are coming to the meetings and just wanting to get,

1033
01:28:13,030 --> 01:28:17,190
these are people who've been doing housing development and doing housing administration.

1034
01:28:18,110 --> 01:28:28,870
I say, what are you guys doing to be able to know how many units is supposed to be affordable that they were billed affordable and that the end of the day you met that exact number?

1035
01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:38,210
So, we do not have an absolute projection of units at each affordability level.

1036
01:28:38,890 --> 01:28:44,630
We do monitor that so that whatever we're looking for the most affordability, the most

1037
01:28:44,630 --> 01:28:51,690
affordable units, when we do project selections, and then we monitor against the requirements

1038
01:28:51,690 --> 01:28:54,710
that we accepted the project under.

1039
01:28:54,710 --> 01:29:01,450
So I don't think that totally answers your question, but that is a routine thing that we do in my

1040
01:29:01,450 --> 01:29:08,250
department. So we would continue to do that. And there is a oversight committee called for in the

1041
01:29:08,250 --> 01:29:16,650
program that was adopted in June and our implementation plan that your committee approved in January

1042
01:29:16,650 --> 01:29:23,350
has us coming with recommendations on the formation and composition of the oversight committee in January.

1043
01:29:24,850 --> 01:29:31,850
So as we're making some of these decisions now, we wouldn't have that oversight committee in

1044
01:29:31,850 --> 01:29:35,590
place because I mean at some point they're just looking in the review mirror.

1045
01:29:36,070 --> 01:29:41,950
That is the intention of the oversight committee is an annual review to make sure that the

1046
01:29:41,950 --> 01:29:46,950
funds were spent in accordance to what the bond the voters voted for.

1047
01:29:46,950 --> 01:29:59,950
It is not intended as a proactive review or but more of an annual retroactive annual review to make sure that we comply with what the voters approve.

1048
01:30:07,110 --> 01:30:28,980
As a part of kind of again looking in the review mirror, I can't see how the policy that is written now ensures that for the rental part tenants are screened out in terms of not being able to access housing.

1049
01:30:28,980 --> 01:30:37,760
They have maybe immigrants and maybe people re-entering from prison, and I just still

1050
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:43,520
missing that component that ensures or really protects them from being screened out,

1051
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:49,760
especially the re-entry community that under HUD guidelines can't get into housing, under

1052
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,360
a bunch of other things, and then we're trying to figure out how to then not become a part

1053
01:30:53,360 --> 01:31:00,300
and contaminants, but access housing, so I'm missing there.

1054
01:31:00,940 --> 01:31:08,760
So what we have to look at is what are the other financing sources in each proposed

1055
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:20,740
development, and then minimizing the negative impact of any federal requirements that would

1056
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:29,860
like, you know, looking at how many units are subsidized by project-based Section 8 that

1057
01:31:29,860 --> 01:31:36,760
would exclude undocumented immigrants and people with certain kinds of criminal convictions.

1058
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:45,900
And what other operating subsidies we can find such as MHSA, for example, that wouldn't

1059
01:31:45,900 --> 01:31:53,480
have those same restrictions so that we're maximizing the use of other leveraged funds,

1060
01:31:54,220 --> 01:32:00,960
but also making sure that our target populations are served. And where no federal restriction

1061
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:09,040
exists, we would be looking at all the possible ways to not only target specific units for our

1062
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:15,040
target populations, but also screen in tools that screen in rather than screen out.

1063
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:21,240
You said we're going to come back on the 19th.

1064
01:32:21,980 --> 01:32:22,300
Okay.

1065
01:32:26,620 --> 01:32:29,280
So is that back to the health committee on October 19th?

1066
01:32:29,700 --> 01:32:29,780
No.

1067
01:32:29,900 --> 01:32:31,080
This is a full board of retreat.

1068
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:32,220
Okay.

1069
01:32:33,420 --> 01:32:34,780
On the 17th, I believe.

1070
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,040
Oh, it's us Tuesday, whatever that is.

1071
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:37,840
Whatever that is.

1072
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:38,400
Yeah, whatever that is.

1073
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:38,920
You're seven.

1074
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:45,200
Your feathers.

1075
01:32:46,060 --> 01:32:46,260
These speakers.

1076
01:32:46,980 --> 01:32:48,780
Um, I'll hold off because there's some people.

1077
01:32:48,940 --> 01:32:51,680
I want to be respectful of the time and I know we're going to come back.

1078
01:32:51,820 --> 01:32:54,920
I know the board has a lot of questions.

1079
01:32:58,820 --> 01:32:59,100
Okay.

1080
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:18,970
Good morning, Supervisor Chan, Supervisor Carson, my name is Ever Cleveland, Senior Project Manager with a ballcasey supporting the Food Vale Transit Village to a project.

1081
01:33:19,470 --> 01:33:25,630
And I'd like to take a moment to just share some clarifying detail with respect to the project closing conditions.

1082
01:33:26,350 --> 01:33:35,370
Our debt and equity providers will not commit their funds to this project unless all projects sources are guaranteed to the project.

1083
01:33:35,370 --> 01:33:42,210
Our providers are committed to the project, but they need to communicate a feasible timeline for closing.

1084
01:33:42,810 --> 01:33:51,190
And at this time, they're not comfortable with our target at Sid LaClosing Deadline, which is stated for November 13, 2017.

1085
01:33:52,430 --> 01:34:01,610
To commit their funds, we need a final proposal solution for guaranteeing county funds, no later than October 13, 2017.

1086
01:34:01,610 --> 01:34:06,750
So they have an opportunity to vet the final proposal internally.

1087
01:34:07,610 --> 01:34:15,470
The simple solution as my colleague stated just a short while ago is to remove contingent language from the contract.

1088
01:34:16,170 --> 01:34:21,450
This creates assurance the county money will be available when it's time to fund.

1089
01:34:22,490 --> 01:34:31,530
And so perhaps you can schedule this item on your October 10th Board of Supervisor meeting to direct staff to act on this.

1090
01:34:31,530 --> 01:34:38,590
We are not relying upon county cash during construction, but instead for permanent financing in 2019.

1091
01:34:39,830 --> 01:34:48,490
So even if the A1 bonds are not sold in the spring of 2018, the county will not be called upon to put in substitute cash at that point.

1092
01:34:49,710 --> 01:34:56,670
But if the county doesn't agree to obligate its funds on or before October 13, 2017,

1093
01:34:56,670 --> 01:34:59,990
Our project will lose its sit-lack.

1094
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:07,200
100,000 performance deposit. And we will be subject to a 4 to 8 percent construction cost escalation,

1095
01:35:08,060 --> 01:35:15,480
if we have to wait another six months to close. The project has already taken so long to get to this point

1096
01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:21,600
because we had to secure numerous sources of funds and we clearly cannot absorb these additional costs.

1097
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:29,560
We would stand to lose the entire affordable housing development. So we urge you to place this item on

1098
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:35,980
our October 10th board agenda, and to have a plan in place no later than October 13th

1099
01:35:35,980 --> 01:35:39,240
to keep our project on schedule for a 2017 closing.

1100
01:35:40,140 --> 01:35:41,100
Thank you.

1101
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:46,920
I think on this thing, you're still working on it, right?

1102
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:51,620
I mean, the point of putting it on the agenda, we don't know what we're going to do.

1103
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,800
You'd have to have a solution on the agenda.

1104
01:35:54,320 --> 01:36:00,240
But what the developer I believe is asking for is essentially a county guarantee that should

1105
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:09,640
measure A1 bonds not be issued and funds from the bond not be available by their permanent financing

1106
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:19,200
close that the county would use other sources of funds to meet that obligation. I might have

1107
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:25,820
a different opinion about that than the county administrator and so I am not able to bring that

1108
01:36:25,820 --> 01:36:28,300
type of recommendation to you.

1109
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:32,520
OK, I would just suggest that County Council and whoever

1110
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:34,300
is talking with them continue to talk.

1111
01:36:34,300 --> 01:36:37,580
I can see why that letter might not do it,

1112
01:36:37,580 --> 01:36:41,700
because it's so if there may be some way

1113
01:36:41,700 --> 01:36:45,680
to write something that's more assuring.

1114
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:47,820
I don't know if that'll do it.

1115
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:50,680
But I certainly suggest you look at that language.

1116
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,000
I mean, I know legally we're trying to protect the county,

1117
01:36:54,000 --> 01:37:00,580
and that's the obligation of the board, but on the other hand, it's so the way that's written,

1118
01:37:01,940 --> 01:37:06,440
it's very contingent. Yeah, it's so contingent, and we know it's not in real life, not going

1119
01:37:06,440 --> 01:37:12,900
to be that contingent. If it is, then we really, you know, I mean it would only be that contingent

1120
01:37:12,900 --> 01:37:19,020
if we have a depression next year and then everyone's going to be. Some sort of, some extent the

1121
01:37:19,020 --> 01:37:24,220
conditions are derivative of the resolution that was adopted to support the funding from the

1122
01:37:24,220 --> 01:37:30,000
Measure A1 funds. And so to reverse that, we may have to come to you with a resolution

1123
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:35,380
that would change that. And it would then look to you to say that you the full board to say,

1124
01:37:36,020 --> 01:37:42,360
are you prepared to put other county money into the program? It should the Measure A1's funds

1125
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:48,200
not be available or not be available in a timely manner. And so those are our discretionary policy

1126
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:53,800
decisions of your board, and we can draft whatever you would like us to do so on that matter,

1127
01:37:54,900 --> 01:37:59,960
but the funds would have to be identified in the budget and place an account so that they would

1128
01:37:59,960 --> 01:38:05,400
be available for this project so that we could make the loan when an NHS required to be made.

1129
01:38:06,900 --> 01:38:14,720
That said, I will be meeting with the Treasurer to discuss with him ideas that came up in that meeting

1130
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:21,020
and see if there's, and then continue to work with the County Administrator and County Council to see what we can bring.

1131
01:38:21,260 --> 01:38:24,760
I mean, the goal is to get this project done obviously, so.

1132
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:28,000
Gloria Bruce.

1133
01:38:32,230 --> 01:38:32,910
Morning supervisors.

1134
01:38:33,510 --> 01:38:33,950
Good morning staff.

1135
01:38:34,110 --> 01:38:35,110
Thank you for the presentation.

1136
01:38:35,450 --> 01:38:36,290
All the great questions.

1137
01:38:37,090 --> 01:38:42,930
I just wanted to address a supervisor, Carson, a few really good points that you've raised around partnerships around innovations.

1138
01:38:43,570 --> 01:38:52,270
And just really echo and agree with your point that we are in an age where we need to be pushing the envelope because of the extent of the housing crisis.

1139
01:38:53,710 --> 01:39:12,710
And as Linda stated, having more money allows us to do that by, for example, freeing up other pots of funds, such as the boomerang funds that are allowing us to

1140
01:39:12,710 --> 01:39:17,410
we're in a place where we have to both be pushing the envelope and holding the line and I think

1141
01:39:17,410 --> 01:39:23,530
continuing to encourage the type of affordable housing that we know changes lives and we know

1142
01:39:23,530 --> 01:39:28,570
changes communities as really important to keep encouraging and completely agree with you that this

1143
01:39:28,570 --> 01:39:33,370
crisis is not going to be solved just by supply of market rate housing and that we have to do and that

1144
01:39:33,370 --> 01:39:42,250
many people in this room are doing work around protection of tenants preservation of homes on the

1145
01:39:42,250 --> 01:39:47,810
construction and accuracy have, but we're doing that work and I just need to emphasize that promoting

1146
01:39:47,810 --> 01:39:53,910
affordable tax credit rental housing does help with those goals of anti-displacement as well because,

1147
01:39:53,910 --> 01:39:57,790
you know, for one thing, it allows for stability and saving, hopefully people can move to home ownership.

1148
01:39:58,410 --> 01:39:59,950
For other things, and while we are in a-

1149
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:07,500
State environment where we have not yet managed to remove constraints such as cost to Hawkins. We need all the new affordable

1150
01:40:07,500 --> 01:40:12,480
subsidized homes we can get so that people have some place to go when every time they move out of a

1151
01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:17,080
rent control department, that apartment is essentially gone and no longer affordable because we have

1152
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:21,460
vacancy decontroll. So we need all of those. We need to be firing on all cylinders.

1153
01:40:23,700 --> 01:40:24,880
Because of that,

1154
01:40:25,180 --> 01:40:29,280
I think we are, as you've heard me say before, extremely supportive of those partnerships who want

1155
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:35,100
see how we can have those positive partnerships happen and unfortunately we have state financing

1156
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:40,560
sources and federal financing sources that are not sympathetic to our efforts to make sure

1157
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:45,120
that we broaden the pool of people who have property who are motivated who want to do this.

1158
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:50,040
They need to see certain things done by certain loan deadlines and because of that we're saying,

1159
01:40:50,060 --> 01:40:54,560
okay, let's have people partner for the first project of the second project and then hopefully

1160
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:59,540
those folks then later when we have, when we pass this state bond, that the governor just allowed

1161
01:40:59,540 --> 01:41:04,520
to go on the ballot next year, that we have other people who can move into that group of

1162
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:09,120
a tier 1 developers in the future. For now, we have to get those homes, those homes really

1163
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:14,180
done. And I just really want to close with, you know, supporting my colleagues and members from

1164
01:41:14,180 --> 01:41:18,540
Abaltsi and the Unity Council, you've heard it, you've heard the urgency, and I want to also

1165
01:41:18,540 --> 01:41:22,680
put it about that this isn't, this is absolutely about getting the right number and the most

1166
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,080
number of units, but at the end of the day, we are talking about homes.

1167
01:41:26,500 --> 01:41:29,540
And so if this project doesn't close, a lot of times people will be like, well, a project

1168
01:41:29,540 --> 01:41:30,040
doesn't close.

1169
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:30,880
Well, then what happens?

1170
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:32,300
Well, it gets delayed.

1171
01:41:32,460 --> 01:41:34,280
But it's not just about a project that doesn't delay.

1172
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:39,720
Those are homes that are not going to be built and open or available for six months,

1173
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:40,640
a year or two years.

1174
01:41:40,740 --> 01:41:45,680
And those are people who will be continuing to make tough choices, be continuing to have to

1175
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:50,180
leave the county, the city, in some cases, before it's going to the street or other unacceptable

1176
01:41:50,180 --> 01:41:50,640
choices.

1177
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:55,520
So I just really want to put that urgency in the frame of homes and people as well as a project.

1178
01:41:56,060 --> 01:41:56,640
Thank you.

1179
01:41:58,020 --> 01:41:58,780
Next we have.

1180
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:02,700
Nididi followed by Robert Rayburn followed by Jamie.

1181
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:03,820
Hit to.

1182
01:42:10,970 --> 01:42:11,890
Good morning, everyone.

1183
01:42:12,150 --> 01:42:17,950
My name is Nididi Okolagu and I'm here speaking on behalf of the dellance Institute for Social Justice

1184
01:42:17,950 --> 01:42:20,530
as well as the our beloved communities action that work.

1185
01:42:20,850 --> 01:42:24,270
And I'd like to thank the board and staff for their commitment to solving the displacement crisis.

1186
01:42:25,650 --> 01:42:39,930
There's just a few things that I wanted to flag this morning and I wanted to make sure that as we continue to build out the, you know, these implementation policies that we ensure that there's access for community-based organizations and faith community developers and

1187
01:42:39,930 --> 01:42:45,390
a way to ensure that access is to be sure that we level the playing field in these partnerships

1188
01:42:45,390 --> 01:42:53,050
and ensure that these partnerships are positive and that's something that Supervisor Chan echoed today as well.

1189
01:42:54,050 --> 01:43:06,890
And maybe we can look at something like ensuring that there are preference points for positive partnerships between developers and community-based organizations or faith-based projects and teams.

1190
01:43:06,890 --> 01:43:19,070
Something else I do want to flag today is that what is our process for continuing to promote the county's principles around racial and community equity.

1191
01:43:20,290 --> 01:43:27,150
And I understand that HCD will bring bringing the oversight community committee proposals in January 2018.

1192
01:43:27,150 --> 01:43:43,450
But I just want to ensure that we have a way to make decisions in a timely fashion and that the board has adequate time to redirect if necessary and troubleshoot some of these issues along with the community and staff.

1193
01:43:44,130 --> 01:43:53,210
And this is a way that we can kind of weave in community equity and racial equity into some of the decisions we're making around solving this housing crisis.

1194
01:43:53,210 --> 01:43:56,070
And those are my main two points today.

1195
01:43:56,290 --> 01:43:56,910
Thank you, everyone.

1196
01:43:57,790 --> 01:43:59,330
And have a wonderful day.

1197
01:44:00,050 --> 01:44:03,370
Kind of as an aside, over two years ago,

1198
01:44:03,590 --> 01:44:05,670
convened a meeting of the CEOs of the hospitals

1199
01:44:05,670 --> 01:44:11,910
in this area prior to that, even the advent of Measure 1A.

1200
01:44:12,350 --> 01:44:14,950
And at the conclusion of our annual meeting,

1201
01:44:15,250 --> 01:44:18,350
they were raised the issue of workforce housing.

1202
01:44:19,850 --> 01:44:26,070
And wanting to say, we have this great need to make sure we can ensure housing for our workers.

1203
01:44:26,210 --> 01:44:28,870
These are CEOs of the hospitals in our area including Kaiser.

1204
01:44:29,670 --> 01:44:34,210
And they own properties. They already own properties. They could be used in that.

1205
01:44:34,290 --> 01:44:38,970
Same thing for schools. So I mean, there's a lot of opportunities here.

1206
01:44:40,750 --> 01:44:42,990
And I agree that there has to be a diverse person.

1207
01:44:42,990 --> 01:44:44,150
Good

1208
01:44:48,340 --> 01:44:51,120
morning, Supervisor Chan, Supervisor Carson.

1209
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:53,900
My name is Robert Rayburn, I'm the Vice President

1210
01:44:53,900 --> 01:44:55,720
of the Bart Board of Directors.

1211
01:44:56,060 --> 01:44:59,960
I'm honored to represent seven Bart Stations in the...

1212
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,460
City of Oakland, including the Fruitvale Station. And like Chris Eglacius and Councilmember Nolgayo, I wish to urge

1213
01:45:09,460 --> 01:45:19,960
the commitment be made to the face to of the Fruitvale Transit Village Project. In 2016, the

1214
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:27,480
Bart Board adopted a transit oriented development policy. That policy encompasses goals to, of course,

1215
01:45:27,480 --> 01:45:33,800
create mixed use development throughout the Bart system. Specifically, we urge to develop

1216
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:42,760
20,000 housing units in the coming years, including 6,000 affordable units. In 2010, the

1217
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:51,420
Bart Board engaged in a long-term lease agreement with the Unity Council for the property where

1218
01:45:51,420 --> 01:45:59,940
the Phase 2 development will be built today at some parking lot. We recognize the Unity Council's

1219
01:45:59,940 --> 01:46:09,380
urgent need to secure the funds from the state by starting this project in November. We're

1220
01:46:09,380 --> 01:46:17,720
scheduling our meetings so that we will be able to give our final approval for that project this month

1221
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:29,240
And I urge that again, a commitment be made in the implementation of Major A1 to promote this urgently needed project.

1222
01:46:29,620 --> 01:46:30,700
Thank you.

1223
01:46:40,460 --> 01:46:42,160
Morning, Supervisor Chan, Supervisor Carson.

1224
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:47,220
Thank you so much for taking the time to have this conversation about the policies for the A1 program.

1225
01:46:47,700 --> 01:46:51,740
As we continue to have these very important conversations about the policies for these dollars,

1226
01:46:51,740 --> 01:46:57,920
I just want to kind of echo the comments you've heard so far about timing, and we know

1227
01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:01,400
that the bond working group is working towards having the bonds issued in February.

1228
01:47:01,860 --> 01:47:05,640
Burage was very fortunate to do what we parted on the San Leandro Project.

1229
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:11,980
We were able to close with some A1 dollars, but not without provisions in those documents,

1230
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:15,440
that require that those bonds be issued in timely manner.

1231
01:47:15,940 --> 01:47:19,740
So just keeping the progress as we work on the policies towards those bonds being issued in

1232
01:47:19,740 --> 01:47:23,840
worries and incredibly projects, excuse me, incredibly important to our project and I'll

1233
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,600
speak to the other projects you've heard about today. So thank you very much.

1234
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:34,420
Adam Cooperman, Dr. AG and Lawrence Benhoch.

1235
01:47:43,250 --> 01:47:47,670
Good morning, Supervisor Chan, Supervisor Carson. Thank you. Thank you very much.

1236
01:47:47,690 --> 01:47:50,790
Staff for the great hard work in the presentation this morning.

1237
01:47:51,790 --> 01:47:55,870
My name is Adam Cooperman. I'm a project manager with satellite affordable housing associates

1238
01:47:55,870 --> 01:48:04,050
and currently working on Camino 23 a project in East Oakland that has been supported by these early A1 fund distributions.

1239
01:48:05,150 --> 01:48:13,670
What was made evidently clear November by the voting public and since the passing of A1 bonds by

1240
01:48:13,670 --> 01:48:23,370
local developers, displaced residents, city staff, local policy leaders, the general public housing now.

1241
01:48:23,370 --> 01:48:39,550
And I want to echo the comments made about how important it is for the funds that were unanimously heavily voted upon to be distributed into hit the streets as quickly as possible.

1242
01:48:39,550 --> 01:48:46,890
You're hearing today about one specific project that's very vitally awaiting a commitment of these funds.

1243
01:48:47,650 --> 01:48:53,830
What you're not hearing about are dozens of other projects that are also heavily reliant upon these funds,

1244
01:48:54,850 --> 01:49:02,150
and have teed up most likely hundreds of homes that can be starting construction very, very soon.

1245
01:49:02,150 --> 01:49:13,210
The timing of the decisions surrounding these funds are very important and very timely and will allow developers to bring homes to the community.

1246
01:49:15,390 --> 01:49:23,010
In everyday's important construction costs are increasingly rising every single day.

1247
01:49:23,010 --> 01:49:33,670
we are in a environment that is hit with these, the way in which these projects are financed,

1248
01:49:33,870 --> 01:49:35,090
time is of the essence.

1249
01:49:38,790 --> 01:49:42,430
The last thing that I want to say, two more things actually,

1250
01:49:42,650 --> 01:49:49,690
the positive local partnerships as a 50-year plus affordable housing developer in the East Bay,

1251
01:49:49,690 --> 01:49:55,930
is incredibly open to actively working on multiple projects with partner organizations.

1252
01:49:56,550 --> 01:49:59,350
It is a very important way in which we can help.

1253
01:50:00,340 --> 01:50:11,740
Spread the wealth of knowledge that's necessary in order to build affordable housing. And I think that good solid decisions should be made, but they should also not be limiting decisions.

1254
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:21,000
And the affordable housing community, I believe, is ready willing and able to help mentor smaller organizations into the field.

1255
01:50:22,020 --> 01:50:27,220
The last thing that I will say is it's also become evidently clear that other counties

1256
01:50:27,220 --> 01:50:30,080
are watching what Alameda County is doing.

1257
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:39,800
There was a very positive feeling from surrounding Bay Area counties and it is really great

1258
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:43,420
to see that other areas are watching Alameda County.

1259
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:46,280
So thank you very much for everything you do.

1260
01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:03,980
Good morning, Supervisor Chan, and Supervisor Cores and staff.

1261
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:11,580
My name is Gerald A. Jam, the pastor of Friendship Christian Center, and I'm a part of

1262
01:51:11,580 --> 01:51:15,240
the Bay Area Community Benefit Organization.

1263
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:22,020
I don't want to thank you, Supervisor Cores, and for the comments that you have made.

1264
01:51:22,020 --> 01:51:35,240
And just the the hard work that I'm discovering it takes to put on such a to address these issues of housing.

1265
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:43,760
We have a cooperation that is endeavoring to develop affordable housing for seniors.

1266
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:53,460
And it has been an extremely learning curve for me, all of the intricacies of developing

1267
01:51:53,460 --> 01:51:54,560
housing.

1268
01:51:55,240 --> 01:52:01,380
But I want to just talk about what you had mentioned, supervised across the regarding the

1269
01:52:01,380 --> 01:52:12,260
oversight committee, and if I can just recommend that there be community involvement that

1270
01:52:12,260 --> 01:52:24,340
community people that are sitting on that oversight committee and that the board would be the ones that are choosing those people.

1271
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:40,840
And I would like to suggest that the oversight committee not only be a committee that can offer reports regarding looking in the review mirror

1272
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:49,140
of what has happened, but can also help to bring to your attention what has happened

1273
01:52:49,140 --> 01:52:55,700
in with the projects as they are being produced.

1274
01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:04,760
And so that's just a thought that would be, it's a very important piece that we don't want

1275
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:13,700
to just get, you know, pushed aside that oversight committee piece is extremely important.

1276
01:53:14,140 --> 01:53:15,080
Thank you.

1277
01:53:24,510 --> 01:53:29,870
Good morning to President, to supervisor Carson as well, and to staff.

1278
01:53:32,210 --> 01:53:36,890
I come this morning, could dress a little bit better, but as Monday.

1279
01:53:38,570 --> 01:53:49,890
We have literally been inundated with those that are displaced underneath the bridge by 34th

1280
01:53:50,430 --> 01:53:55,010
and Proudta, it is a major catastrophe.

1281
01:53:56,990 --> 01:54:04,330
Hepatitis A is a big deal now, and I'm afraid that those of us who have compassion and

1282
01:54:04,330 --> 01:54:10,210
concerned about those people on the need to bridge where now children are in the encampments.

1283
01:54:11,070 --> 01:54:13,310
And so this housing crisis is major.

1284
01:54:14,230 --> 01:54:19,530
Lawrence Vanhook is my name, the community church, I'm also a part of the organization

1285
01:54:19,530 --> 01:54:21,970
that Dr. AG just spoke about.

1286
01:54:22,550 --> 01:54:28,190
And it is now at epidemic proportion that we do something with housing.

1287
01:54:28,190 --> 01:54:39,130
The faith community has ramped up so much to be prepared for the housing crises, but there's

1288
01:54:39,130 --> 01:54:43,810
no way we can get it done with limited to no resources.

1289
01:54:44,650 --> 01:54:51,830
I'm asking is there a way we can get a set aside before time is too late for carve out

1290
01:54:51,830 --> 01:54:59,950
for us not only to build capacity, but then begin to implement some of the housing, some of the members, some of the...

1291
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:08,260
Properly that we already have, that we can begin to help some of the displaced workers under the A1 bond.

1292
01:55:08,380 --> 01:55:27,140
I know the 750,000 has been set aside for CBOs, net BOs. But we have credible, capable people that can meet the needs of some of the emergency, some of the displaced, some of those who are formally incarcerated, some of those who are low income.

1293
01:55:27,140 --> 01:55:33,140
and we have put the capacity and the team together to make a difference in the areas where we live

1294
01:55:33,140 --> 01:55:39,900
working worship. Time is moving to focus ticking and we keep getting pushed around about

1295
01:55:39,900 --> 01:55:46,640
actually receiving some of the funds and so I'm requesting we've met all the requirements we have

1296
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:53,260
the incredible people in place who actually understand and know housing and now we're at the space

1297
01:55:53,260 --> 01:55:56,740
where we need the resources that we can continue

1298
01:55:56,740 --> 01:55:59,620
to help meet the needs of our people.

1299
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:02,580
We want to thank you for the work that you have done, staff.

1300
01:56:02,580 --> 01:56:04,320
Thank you for the work you have done.

1301
01:56:04,540 --> 01:56:05,880
But we can't continue to wait.

1302
01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:08,060
Now I have children on a need to bridge

1303
01:56:08,060 --> 01:56:12,460
intense running around with feces all over the place.

1304
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:14,100
I even get sick.

1305
01:56:14,460 --> 01:56:16,720
I pass through to every single day.

1306
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:19,440
I can't continue to feed them

1307
01:56:19,440 --> 01:56:21,780
and then provide the necessary resources

1308
01:56:21,780 --> 01:56:28,840
that we need, my church members are now moving underneath that bridge, and it's become

1309
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:32,240
in major, and we need your help immediately.

1310
01:56:32,820 --> 01:56:38,860
Please figure out a way how we can get some more resources so that at least 10% set aside

1311
01:56:38,860 --> 01:56:43,820
for the faith communities so that we can begin to build capacity and then meet some of the

1312
01:56:43,820 --> 01:56:44,260
needs.

1313
01:56:45,180 --> 01:56:45,980
Thank you.

1314
01:56:47,550 --> 01:56:50,510
Hester Jennings and to Wanda Sherry?

1315
01:56:56,800 --> 01:57:06,420
Thank you, but once again the opportunity to be recognized here and for the work that is so many of you are doing and have done.

1316
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:08,200
I want to echo a couple of different things.

1317
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:11,380
One is what Pastor AG talked about the oversight committee.

1318
01:57:12,260 --> 01:57:18,760
I think it's very prudent and for us to not to look in the rear view mirror in terms of what was done,

1319
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:23,160
but how do we make sure what gets done is appropriate

1320
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:26,160
as it has this board has approved.

1321
01:57:26,660 --> 01:57:29,840
Secondarily, I want to echo what Pastor Van Hook said

1322
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:32,800
in response to capacity building.

1323
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,760
We know that there's a $750,000 set aside

1324
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,560
that's been set for the building of the faith-based,

1325
01:57:38,580 --> 01:57:40,660
small community faith-based organizations,

1326
01:57:41,260 --> 01:57:42,120
building their capacity.

1327
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:46,540
Now, let's fast forward 21, 22 months from now

1328
01:57:46,540 --> 01:57:49,740
when they have built their capacity, then what?

1329
01:57:51,060 --> 01:57:53,160
There's still nothing there for them.

1330
01:57:53,700 --> 01:57:56,840
After we've spent $750,000 to build their capacity.

1331
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:59,140
So we need to address that piece.

1332
01:57:59,820 --> 01:58:03,240
And so what Dr. Van Hook indicated is a set aside.

1333
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:05,840
I think it's prudent that we set aside some funds

1334
01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:11,240
post the 21, 22 months so that we can then begin to now,

1335
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,780
let's take these small faith-based organizations

1336
01:58:13,780 --> 01:58:15,080
to the next level.

1337
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:16,580
You've supervised the Carlson.

1338
01:58:17,140 --> 01:58:24,580
You, you earlier indicated that there is a number of faith-based organizations and

1339
01:58:24,580 --> 01:58:32,480
churches in the community that already owned land there already have the stumbling block

1340
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:36,960
taken care of what we need to do is be able to bring those land to the marketplace.

1341
01:58:37,620 --> 01:58:41,380
And so that's what the Bayer Community Benefit organization is really all about.

1342
01:58:41,380 --> 01:59:01,660
And then lastly, I will say that the acquisition and opportunity fund that was spoken about earlier relative to the proposed policy that it's going to be pre-qualified pre-selected developers, a pool of pre-qualified pre-selected developers.

1343
01:59:01,660 --> 01:59:06,180
I think that it should not be pre-qualified pre-selected.

1344
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:10,740
I think that they all need to be qualified, but I think that it should be open to anyone

1345
01:59:10,740 --> 01:59:15,940
and everyone that meets the qualifications and not just to a pool that's already pre-selected

1346
01:59:15,940 --> 01:59:23,280
because then again, we're closing out so many others that have the ability to take advantage

1347
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:23,740
of that.

1348
01:59:23,780 --> 01:59:24,600
Thank you very much.

1349
01:59:29,020 --> 01:59:32,880
Elaine Brown and Ali Khashani.

1350
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:36,520
Good morning, Supervisor Chan and Supervisor Carps.

1351
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:37,780
Carson and staff.

1352
01:59:38,340 --> 01:59:39,660
My name is Tawanda Sherry.

1353
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:41,160
I'm an East Oakland resident.

1354
01:59:41,660 --> 01:59:43,540
I'm a member of several housing organizations.

1355
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:47,680
But I'm coming here because I'm concerned about this proposal.

1356
01:59:48,660 --> 01:59:51,620
And especially the Homeowner Housing Development Program.

1357
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:57,520
That says that there's an increment of 80% area medium.

1358
01:59:57,520 --> 01:59:59,960
Right now, I live in East Oph.

1359
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:09,540
And the average income is about $32,000 a year. Many people will not qualify for this housing development

1360
02:00:09,540 --> 02:00:17,920
that takes place. So I would really like for you to consider at least lowering that to 50 percent. Some

1361
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:28,320
level, so that people like my son, that's his dream. He said, Mom, I want a house in Oakland. But he

1362
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:34,900
day I'm going to school. So he has this dream and that's our youth want to have a future here.

1363
02:00:35,480 --> 02:00:41,240
So we don't want it to be displaced and out on the street. We want it to be in housing. They

1364
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:46,400
should have a right and people should have a right to housing. The other portion I want to address

1365
02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:54,480
is the Tier 1 developers. Right now, it looks like to me that the Tier 1 developers, you have to have

1366
02:00:54,480 --> 02:01:00,900
three already developed developments already in place and right now it's to me

1367
02:01:00,900 --> 02:01:05,920
that same seems like the glass ceiling. Now as an African-American we've seen

1368
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:11,280
this glass ceiling a lot of times. That glass ceiling has not allowed us to to go

1369
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:16,980
beyond and to attain things we need in the community. Churches and community

1370
02:01:16,980 --> 02:01:24,460
based organizations need to be able to qualify and be able to build the kind of

1371
02:01:24,460 --> 02:01:30,900
especially in Oakland. Oakland is a crisis level. You see it. You smell it sometimes.

1372
02:01:31,520 --> 02:01:36,540
People have a right to housing. We have a surplus land at the state of California

1373
02:01:36,540 --> 02:01:43,560
that states that surplus land should be offered up for affordable housing first.

1374
02:01:44,020 --> 02:01:49,320
We should make sure we implement that. So if you have to, we can get creative

1375
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:55,220
about how we do that, even if you might want to also require or ask people who want this

1376
02:01:55,220 --> 02:01:58,680
housing, do you want to help build it, especially the form of incarcerated?

1377
02:01:59,560 --> 02:02:03,680
We have housing here, but we also have things that can be developed.

1378
02:02:04,120 --> 02:02:05,840
So I hope that you look at this.

1379
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:07,220
Thank you very much.

1380
02:02:09,900 --> 02:02:10,100
Okay.

1381
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:11,200
Lane Brown and Ollie.

1382
02:02:18,660 --> 02:02:19,200
I don't know.

1383
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:21,420
I don't know if it's permissible to yield time.

1384
02:02:21,620 --> 02:02:22,380
So I want to ask that.

1385
02:02:22,460 --> 02:02:24,080
I'd like to yield my time.

1386
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:25,860
Yeah, we normally don't do that.

1387
02:02:26,260 --> 02:02:26,420
Okay.

1388
02:02:26,660 --> 02:02:28,060
Well, if you'd like to speak, you can.

1389
02:02:28,060 --> 02:02:32,760
I'll just say one quick thing, I represent Oakland in the World Enterprise, and we are trying to build housing,

1390
02:02:33,820 --> 02:02:40,060
which does not deny formerly incarcerated people or people with limited credit and 100% affordable.

1391
02:02:40,200 --> 02:02:49,760
And so we certainly advocate for there to be kinds of suggestions in terms of oversight and in terms of consideration of certain populations getting their housing.

1392
02:02:49,860 --> 02:02:55,780
So I don't want to say much more than that. I was hoping to yield my time to our project manager, but thank you very much.

1393
02:02:55,780 --> 02:02:57,280
supervisor, Chan, and Carson.

1394
02:03:02,340 --> 02:03:03,120
Thank you.

1395
02:03:07,860 --> 02:03:08,140
Good morning.

1396
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:09,560
My name is Ali Khashani.

1397
02:03:10,660 --> 02:03:13,920
I haven't appeared before you before, my first time.

1398
02:03:14,780 --> 02:03:18,020
I have been in the housing, non-profit housing,

1399
02:03:18,500 --> 02:03:20,260
development industry for 20 years,

1400
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:22,580
and in the private market for about 10 years.

1401
02:03:23,340 --> 02:03:25,080
I have a degree in civil engineering

1402
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,160
and a master's in non-profit administration.

1403
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:30,680
Most of my work has been in the East Bay.

1404
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:38,800
And I'd like to acknowledge the pressure you're under as decision makers for this enormous

1405
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:39,980
American housing emergency.

1406
02:03:40,340 --> 02:03:45,560
We have, on the one hand, you have people under the bridges, on the other you have existing

1407
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:50,100
non-profits with their projects that need money, and on the other you have to really think

1408
02:03:51,380 --> 02:03:57,940
about developing an oversight and a process that's fair and equitable as you disperse

1409
02:03:57,940 --> 02:03:59,420
the $580 million.

1410
02:04:01,060 --> 02:04:05,840
My letter addresses four areas that I would like to bring to your attention.

1411
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:08,300
The staff work has been comprehensive.

1412
02:04:09,300 --> 02:04:13,660
I have, today, I've heard a lot of good comments from Linda about changes that have been made,

1413
02:04:14,100 --> 02:04:17,500
but I don't think we're ready to adopt the policy implementations.

1414
02:04:19,340 --> 02:04:24,200
I want to talk about the community oversight committee.

1415
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:30,460
citizens over site committee first. Back in 1990, when Lonnie Hancock was mayor of Berkeley,

1416
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:39,740
I helped her write the housing trust fund guidelines for Berkeley. In that, we created two levels

1417
02:04:39,740 --> 02:04:46,120
of oversight. An application goes to city staff, then it's referred to housing advisory commission,

1418
02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:53,860
which is appointed by the council. The council also created a technical advisory committee,

1419
02:04:53,860 --> 02:05:00,000
because the commission did not really understand the complexity of the housing issues and the housing fine.

1420
02:05:03,100 --> 02:05:14,880
I think we've been trying to get moving through something for May as we have always worked through. We've been starting with our normal documents. So I think we've beat this.

1421
02:05:25,380 --> 02:05:32,300
Let's reflect that we've been joined by, remember, Chuck's War and Galvin.

1422
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:37,240
Thank you for your late, late, but here.

1423
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:38,980
Are we starting a couple of horses now?

1424
02:05:38,980 --> 02:05:42,360
No, our next item is fair.

1425
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:45,980
So before we go, do we have any other comments on one?

1426
02:05:47,220 --> 02:05:48,200
I have no online.

1427
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:50,040
And no comments on one.

1428
02:05:50,300 --> 02:05:50,560
Okay.

1429
02:05:50,740 --> 02:05:51,720
Thank you very much.

1430
02:05:51,980 --> 02:05:54,040
So now we can move on to item six.

1431
02:05:54,780 --> 02:05:57,280
The fair penalty proposed contract on the list.

1432
02:05:58,660 --> 02:05:59,960
So I will kick us out.

1433
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:02,720
We cost staff for the county administrators office.

1434
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:05,480
We have been in discussions.

1435
02:06:05,480 --> 02:06:14,360
And when I say we just a couple of us with Jerome regarding the 2017 contract that we have

1436
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:16,900
between the county and the association.

1437
02:06:18,020 --> 02:06:26,260
The county put together some recommended changes based on a number of areas permitting code

1438
02:06:26,260 --> 02:06:30,300
compliance, meeting transparency, communication protocols.

1439
02:06:30,300 --> 02:06:36,420
And we had a number of edits that we wanted to make to the current contract.

1440
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:44,700
We presented that to Jerome and Council, had a fairly productive meeting we walked through

1441
02:06:44,700 --> 02:06:54,240
all of the proposed changes, cumulsed line by line, Jerome and went through and provided

1442
02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:56,060
some comments back.

1443
02:06:56,760 --> 02:07:01,740
And right now, we are kind of far apart in where we are landing.

1444
02:07:02,340 --> 02:07:08,620
And so today, we know that the contract needs to be renewed by the end of September.

1445
02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:13,360
It's an automatic renewal because we would like to make these amendments.

1446
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:17,920
We're making a proposal that we extend our turn.

1447
02:07:18,240 --> 02:07:20,400
I'll let Council kind of talk through that.

1448
02:07:20,540 --> 02:07:26,040
But at this point, we need more time to negotiate and discuss the changes that both the fairs

1449
02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:29,860
Association is requesting and that the community is requesting.

1450
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:32,600
Can we refer us out?

1451
02:07:32,660 --> 02:07:33,800
Turn it over you.

1452
02:07:34,180 --> 02:07:36,220
And so the current spectrum of the contract,

1453
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:40,720
which is entering into a September of 17,

1454
02:07:41,100 --> 02:07:42,140
for a five-year turn,

1455
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:43,040
a test automatic,

1456
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:45,500
and really five-year turn.

1457
02:07:45,780 --> 02:07:47,500
There's a one-year,

1458
02:07:47,500 --> 02:07:49,300
non-realistic,

1459
02:07:49,300 --> 02:07:51,400
that starts to know a little period

1460
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:53,780
for that last year.

1461
02:07:53,780 --> 02:08:05,900
And the current turn is in September of 27, and so we're going to do all of this at the end of this month.

1462
02:08:07,260 --> 02:08:08,480
It's 10 to 30 years.

1463
02:08:09,260 --> 02:08:16,500
And so that's not a lot of time for us to work through the many proposed changes.

1464
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:21,420
And some of our quite complicated, we have a very productive discussion.

1465
02:08:21,420 --> 02:08:28,740
And the proposal that the county's before it is to get us out from under this September

1466
02:08:28,740 --> 02:08:37,060
30th of November, we won't notice and give the county a right to terminate between now

1467
02:08:37,060 --> 02:08:40,960
and the end of the 2020-2020-2070.

1468
02:08:43,180 --> 02:08:51,220
And the termination was that those were out, and it started one year, one now here.

1469
02:08:52,320 --> 02:09:00,680
And the idea is that it gives us another year to negotiate without having to pull the trigger on.

1470
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:09,960
I understand that as Lord is explaining there's a lot of some accounting side in having more.

1471
02:09:15,020 --> 02:09:17,320
So why are we so far apart?

1472
02:09:17,940 --> 02:09:23,640
What police describe the conversations that staff to staff have had?

1473
02:09:24,180 --> 02:09:27,940
And one concern I have is if we just continue to have discussions and

1474
02:09:27,940 --> 02:09:29,580
discuss and can't get to anywhere.

1475
02:09:29,980 --> 02:09:33,840
But by the way, I don't characterize them as so much in negotiations.

1476
02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:38,820
We are up against a timeframe for giving the determination of this.

1477
02:09:38,820 --> 02:09:50,820
So, why are we here and how far are we apart and what are we apart on terms and why are we apart on that?

1478
02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:57,680
Based on the discussions that we've had and I'm guessing this is with Jerome any board members?

1479
02:09:59,180 --> 02:09:59,960
Just staff to...

1480
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:26,000
So county staff provided input on some of the proposed changes, but they have not been involved in the conversation directly with Jerome and Steve. So it's been council on both sides and then Jerome and I have a conversation for people for people.

1481
02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:28,480
purposefully working people.

1482
02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:49,020
I would say that the discussions have centered around, really, I would say more clarity around roles responsibilities who's doing what, both on the county side but also on the fair side, being very transparent about meetings.

1483
02:10:51,360 --> 02:10:58,780
I am low to go into all of the specific details because it's pretty exhaustive, but we wanted

1484
02:10:58,780 --> 02:11:02,700
to make sure that we were very clear in writing what our communication protocols were

1485
02:11:02,700 --> 02:11:09,120
going to be if there are plans on the fair side to make any changes on the property who

1486
02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:19,000
they are supposed to contact when they are supposed to contact the county and how they should

1487
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:24,860
bit in our proposal around the budgeting process and trying to be more transparent, you know,

1488
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:29,740
we're always kind of at this, I would say last minute, I've only been doing this a little

1489
02:11:29,740 --> 02:11:37,060
less than a year, but in that time it's kind of a rush to get the budget approved by our board

1490
02:11:37,060 --> 02:11:42,240
after it's been approved by the Fair Board, so we wanted to set up some very specific timelines

1491
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:46,740
by which we would do that. We looked at the structure of the committee.

1492
02:11:46,740 --> 02:12:02,100
We looked at how the committee is, I mean, we call it an ad hoc committee, but is it really an ad hoc committee, it's pretty, by definition, it's not ad hoc because we need on a fairly regular basis.

1493
02:12:02,580 --> 02:12:07,460
So the idea was to create a bit more clarity from the county's perspective.

1494
02:12:07,460 --> 02:12:15,580
I can let Jerome speak to some of the issues that the fair and I would say Jerome representing

1495
02:12:15,580 --> 02:12:22,000
the fair with they included in their proposal of recommended changes.

1496
02:12:24,060 --> 02:12:35,180
Before you do that, I just wanted to clarify staff and Andrew, without getting into who said

1497
02:12:35,180 --> 02:12:41,440
in our closed sessions, you receive direction from our board. When you make requests

1498
02:12:42,460 --> 02:12:49,340
to be changes to the contract, that didn't come from you making it up. It didn't come from any

1499
02:12:49,340 --> 02:12:55,000
board member making it up. It came from our board. Well, first of all, I thought the board wanted

1500
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:01,420
to know what's specifically we wanted to have changed. I don't know that. I mean, I thought we were

1501
02:13:01,420 --> 02:13:08,160
We're taking a look at stuff, and I'm sure I'm clear on the provisions what we're actually talking about.

1502
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:09,760
I've never been disclosed.

1503
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:12,840
I think there are two kind of broad themes here.

1504
02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:17,620
One is this contract's been in place for nine years.

1505
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:19,540
And so it is staff level.

1506
02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:23,600
There's a lot of experience with the agreement.

1507
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:27,600
A lot of things in 2017.

1508
02:13:27,600 --> 02:13:34,640
And anything that you made better in their things that haven't worked as intended, and so

1509
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:39,760
make it to changes to make the agreement work better, so the party's function better

1510
02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:40,780
together.

1511
02:13:42,300 --> 02:13:50,180
The other things we received, direction from your board, board supervisors, specifically to

1512
02:13:50,180 --> 02:13:57,580
seek changes regarding code deployance and permit, considering that, and so that has

1513
02:13:57,580 --> 02:14:03,320
been a big part of the proposed changes that were made and we started that discussion.

1514
02:14:04,080 --> 02:14:11,640
You know, I'd say the coke clients, communication, that was too great.

1515
02:14:12,700 --> 02:14:19,840
I think those are pretty broad and dull as there are a lot of changes and transparency, governance,

1516
02:14:20,620 --> 02:14:25,420
and coordinating all the things that Hory mentioned came to us in a meeting.

1517
02:14:25,420 --> 02:14:36,540
Yeah, and so I'd say that in any negotiation there's an information gathering process and so we have grown a lot of things at

1518
02:14:37,280 --> 02:14:49,820
growing and safe to to take in and consider and our meeting lasted over two hours and all we did was walk through a lot of questions

1519
02:14:49,820 --> 02:14:56,560
we're asked a lot of information gathering. I think we're in a pretty good stage. We'll talk

1520
02:14:56,560 --> 02:14:59,540
you in a stir. I certainly learned a lot. Thank you.

1521
02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:07,380
We're speaking with COVID-19 and we've just got a feedback on some of the things that we had to come up with.

1522
02:15:07,820 --> 02:15:15,140
Even if there are initiatives the Board of Supervisors once in the contract, how that is done, how that is structured, how it's written.

1523
02:15:16,420 --> 02:15:23,560
We need feedback from the Association, they operate, facilitate, they have their own internal operation of their organization

1524
02:15:23,560 --> 02:15:29,840
and we need information for them to make sure that we are going to contract the original way

1525
02:15:29,840 --> 02:15:33,960
that makes sense and we are not dictating the day.

1526
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:36,260
And we are going to allow it so far apart, Andrew.

1527
02:15:37,460 --> 02:15:39,860
Because we are going to do that one meeting.

1528
02:15:40,620 --> 02:15:42,940
I think that's why we are so far apart and we are meeting.

1529
02:15:43,720 --> 02:15:53,540
And I agree with whether the meeting will be a closer than that is on the...

1530
02:15:53,540 --> 02:16:02,000
30 have done newly, so we can have space for further conversations and I view this in

1531
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:14,240
lieu of issuing a termination notice. The proposal is to agree to in good faith, continue

1532
02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:24,860
our discussions. I would put a time-bound deadline of a month or two, not another year of discussions,

1533
02:16:26,460 --> 02:16:36,760
my thoughts. Keep meeting, get it done, that we can feel good. I can feel good about not outright

1534
02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:55,950
to determine it. Accepting a proposal to negotiate a good faith, that's post quickly and get to the end and if we're still off on terms and I would say that I'm guessing you're going to be briefing our board.
