b) The FY02-03 budget request has progressed to the Mayor's Office and then will go to the Board of Supervisors. a) 10% cut requested from each budget is a big concern; b) Budget Committee chaired by District 10 Supervisor Maxwell;
c) A meeting has been scheduled on Tues. April 16 with CCSF/Southeast Dean Hunnicutt to discuss safety and security issues such as vandalism and loitering at the Facility with several subtenants (New Directions, CCSF/High School). Commissioner Larkin requested that Commissioner Hardin as Facilities Committee chair also attend this meeting.
In response to inquiries to sub-tenancy, Mr. Joe Tham of PUC/Commercial Land Mgmt. (dept. charged with both management of the 1800 Oakdale Facility and Greenhouse, and negotiating lease agreements with tenants of City-owned buildings under the SFPUC) stated that as a tenant CCSF/Southeast does have a clause in their lease agreement allowing them to sublet (at the same rate they lease the space from the City so it is not a profit making endeavor) after notification of intent to sublet to the PUC/Commercial Land Management and the Commission (entities that sign the lease agreement). Commissioner Brown inquired what more the Commission might do to remind CCSF of the requirement to notify the PUC/ Commission before sub-letting space in the Facility since this has happened several times in the past. Mr. Tham suggested perhaps the Commission request the City Attorney's office to draft another letter reiterating the requirements of the (lease) agreement. Deputy City Attorney Robert Bryan suggested that continued discussion on this matter would be appropriate for "closed session".
Commissioner Looper moved and Commissioner Brown seconded to accept the Director's Report. Motion passed.
VIII. Presentation:
a) Decorative Plant Service, Inc. (DPSI) HR Mgr. John Balanca distributed supplemental information the last version of the Quarterly New Hire Reporting showing a 43% increase in reportable new-hires for 2000 from the Community;
Regarding a request for copies of information/reports from Decorative Plant to the Commission from a community resident who is also an ex-employee of Decorative Plant: Deputy City Attorney Bryan stated that Decorative Plant needs to make an "independent determination of what is private/confidential information". The Commission on the other hand may release copies of any reports that were sent/delivered to them by Decorative Plant pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance and the Brown Act.
b) Joe Tham, PUC/Commercial Land Mgmt. updated the Commission on Decorative Plant Services, Inc. (DPSI) whose lease recently expired, but is retained on month-to-month lease until a new lease agreement is negotiated.
c) Mr. Tham also reported that CCSF/Southeast campus is in the last option of a two-year term lease agreement that expires June of 2003.
After a few questions by Commissioners, President Larkin requested that info. packets regarding the mitigation process and the history of the Southeast Community Facility be re-distributed to all Commissioners.
