VI. Old and On-going Business:
a) Regarding the American Red Cross Memorandum (or Statement) of Understanding (M/SOU): Mr. Charlie Dunn, Real Estate Dept. updated the Commissioners that - back in 1994 the American Red Cross first approached the Commission requesting to use the Community Room as an emergency shelter. Real Estate Dept. prepared an MOU that was reviewed by the City Attorneys Office for language and sent to Red Cross for review and signature for execution. They/Red Cross acknowledged receipt of the MOU; however, due to internal reorganizing, set the MOU aside until recently. Then in Oct., 1999 the Red Cross sent another MOU still requesting to use the Community Room as an emergency shelter to the Commission. Since October, the Real Estate Dept. and the City Attorney’s Office are reviewing the language of this MOU for consistency with the City Charter. However, an MOU of this nature is basically a formality - in case of an emergency, the City can declare the use of the Community Room for emergency purposes.
b) After some discussion of their schedules, the Commissioners present decided to call a Facility Committee after the next scheduled SECF Commission meeting at 6 pm on Thurs., 3/9/00. Agenda items will be: Bayview Opera House Children’s Mural Program Expansion Proposal; Revision of the Rules & Regulations governing the Facilities; Policy on tenant use of the Facilities under the jurisdiction of the Commission; and an MOU for the Red Cross to use the Community Room in an emergency.
c) An update and suggested amendments for the Commissions Rules of Order will be distributed to the Commissioner at the next scheduled meeting.
d) Commissioner Brown heard a very positive report on KCBS Talk Radio on the Hunter’s Point Shipyard Renovation recently and felt it was very timely and fortunate that the Lennar/Luster/Mariposa Group was invited to update the Community at the Feb. 10 Commission meeting. Commissioner Knox agreed that the Shipyard Renovation Project is a very important project for the Community and it is indeed timely and very important that the Commission support it particularly at this stage.
e) Executive Director Moses reminded the Commission to RSVP to one of the Sunshine Initiative Overview training sessions scheduled for: a) Thurs., Feb. 24 6 pm - 8 pm, Bill Graham Auditorium, Larkin Hall; b) Sat., Feb. 26, 10 am - 12 noon, Bill graham Auditorium, Larkin Hall; or c) Weds., Mar. 1, 11 am - 1 pm, Main Library, Koret Auditorium.
VII. New Business:
Commissioner Nguyen inquired about the role of the Commission in bringing two
companies that are not currently established in the Bayview-Hunter’s Point
Community to this Community. She was informed that the Southeast Community
Facility Commission is charged with being an advocate (rather than offering
direct services) for economic development, education, and community health,
housing and public safety. The two companies in questions should be referred to one of the many agencies/organization in the Community such as: Young Community Developers (YCD), the Redevelopment Agency, City College of San Francisco/Southeast campus, the Career Center, Neighborhood Jobs Initiative Resource (NJIR), etc.
