Actions approved
- MOU with San Francisco Public Works for preconstruction/professional services: authorized reimbursement to Public Works for services supporting delivery of Under‑Ramp Park in an amount not to exceed $3,469,271 (includes 15% contingency and roughly $650,000 in retroactive costs dating to November 2023), per the staff presentation by Laura Sheifley and Ben Brandon.
- Reimbursement agreement with Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA): authorized OCII to reimburse the TJPA for eligible staff and legal costs related to Under‑Ramp Park in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000; agreement also authorizes retroactive reimbursement of $14,521 for FY24–25 eligible costs.
- Acquisition and fee agreement for Art Deco pavilion: authorized OCII to accept transfer of an Art Deco pavilion previously located at Transbay Block 5; the project owner Park Tower Owner LLC will pay a relocation‑in‑lieu fee of $178,652 and execute a $0 bill of sale transferring ownership to OCII.
- Lease for off‑site storage of pavilion: authorized OCII to execute a lease with Sheedy Drayage Company for initial 2‑year term plus three 1‑year options at $4,700 per month (total initial term not to exceed $169,200). Park Tower Owner LLC will pay Sheedy $112,800 to cover the initial lease term; the remaining relocation fee (approximately $66,000) will be transferred to OCII for park use.

Project background and scope
Under‑Ramp Park (project name provisional) is a roughly 2.4‑acre park spanning about three and a half blocks north of Folsom at Essex and continuing to Howard Street, much of it lying beneath the Caltrans I‑80 off ramp and the TJPA bus ramp to the Salesforce Transit Center. The schematic design, approved by OCII and the TJPA in 2023, envisions pedestrian connections, bike lanes, sports courts, a dog park, adult fitness areas, restrooms, concessions and a two‑story, 4,600‑square‑foot pavilion building at the Folsom entrance. The Art Deco pavilion will be repurposed as part of the park’s concessions building and integrated with a new modern structure.

Schedule and procurement
Staff presented an accelerated schedule coordinated with TJPA and city agencies: complete construction documents and commence permitting in 2025, advertise a construction bid in spring 2026 and award the construction contract by June 2026. Construction completion is currently targeted for 2029; separate MOUs and agreements will govern construction‑phase services and compliance.

Contracting and workforce commitments
The MOU includes contracting and workforce compliance measures: Public Works, OCII and the Contract Monitoring Division (CMD) will implement OCII’s SBE policies. Staff estimated 65% of Public Works’ subconsultant fees under the MOU will go to SBEs (about $257,000 of $397,000 anticipated). The construction‑phase SBE participation goal in OCII specifications is 50%. The contractor will be required to make good‑faith efforts to employ San Francisco residents for 50% of trade hours and give hiring preference to SBEs/LBEs in specified zip codes, with quarterly SBE reporting to OCII.

Public comment and discussion
No public speakers offered comment on the four items. Commissioners asked about the pavilion’s eventual function; staff confirmed the pavilion will serve as the concessions point of sale for the park’s beer‑garden program and include community space and Eastcut Community Benefit District offices in the two‑story pavilion.

Votes and motions
Each action was approved separately. Motions and roll‑call results recorded in the transcript show the votes for items 5(d), 5(e), 5(f) and 5(g) all carried 5–0.

OCII staff said the total CFD budgets for FY25–26 amount to $53,200,000. The CFDs fund infrastructure reimbursements, maintenance, capital repairs, debt service and administrative costs for multiple project areas including Rincon Point/South Beach, Mission Bay North and South, Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1 and Candlestick/Shipyard Phase 2.

Highlights
- Total CFD budgets (FY25–26): $53,200,000.
- Mission Bay South (CFD 6) infrastructure budget: approximately $33.5 million; $8 million of that is debt service on previously issued bonds. Staff noted most Mission Bay infrastructure is complete but reimbursements continue under the plan documents.
- CFD 1 (Rincon Point/South Beach) covers landscape and hardscape maintenance and has a FY25–26 budget of approximately $300,000 (funded largely by the special tax levy and fund balance). Work includes paver reset, tree replacement and lighting upgrades.
- CFD 5 is Mission Bay maintenance for open-space parcels; OCII transferred maintenance responsibility for those parcels to the Recreation and Parks Department and the Port in 2023 and established funding agreements to allow CFD 5 to cover related expenses. Staff expect CFD 5’s fund balance to be used until roughly FY2031, after which alternative funding will be required.
- Shipyard/Candlestick CFDs include CFD 7 (infrastructure reimbursement for Shipyard Phase 1, budgeted at about $12.7 million), CFD 8 (park maintenance for Shipyard Phase 1 open space) and CFD 9 (smaller maintenance/infrastructure CFD for early Candlestick annexations and future phases).

How CFDs work and constraints
OCII staff summarized that each CFD is a voter-approved, distinct special-tax district; funds are restricted to the facilities identified at formation and may not be shifted across CFDs. OCII is the administrative entity for the CFDs and the commission acts as the legislative body under the Mello-Roos framework.

Vote and motion
For item 5(b) the commission approved the CFD budgets and levies (Resolution 5-2025) after a motion by Commissioner Miller and a second by Commissioner Shaddix. The roll-call vote was 5–0. For item 5(c) establishing the fiscal-year appropriation limits (Resolution 6-2025) the commission also voted 5–0.

Next steps
Staff will administer the CFD budgets and continue to process infrastructure reimbursements and maintenance payments. For Mission Bay’s maintenance CFD, OCII projected the fund balance will be spent down by about FY2031, at which point Rec and Park and the Port will need alternative funding sources to sustain maintenance levels.

The budget funds projects across OCII’s three project areas — Mission Bay, Transbay and Hunters Point Shipyard/Candlestick — and carries the successor agency’s remaining enforceable obligations from the former redevelopment agency. “This is our annual budget review … and it presents about $620,000,000 in projects across our three project areas,” Acting Director Mina Yu said during the presentation.

Why it matters: OCII said about half of the budget will fund affordable housing programs, with the remainder covering infrastructure, parks and nonhousing work. The agency plans multiple bond issuances and continued drawdown of prior-period authority that represents multi-year construction budgets and previously issued affordable-housing loans.

Key details
- Total budget requested: $622,200,000 for FY 2025–26. Mina Yu told the commission the number reflects the State Department of Finance–approved recognized obligation payment schedule (ROPS).
- Major funding sources: prior-period authority (largest), property tax increment, and anticipated bond proceeds. The budget reflects a year-over-year decrease of about $62.9 million driven primarily by timing changes in the affordable-housing project pipeline and continued spending on prior-year projects.
- Major uses: roughly 50% for affordable housing; the next largest portions for infrastructure and other nonhousing work. Operations are about 3.2% of the total budget.
- Staffing and operating numbers: operating budget about $20,000,000; labor costs about $10,200,000; FTEs remain at 55 (including 17 vacancies). Nonlabor is approximately $5,600,000 and retiree obligations about $4,200,000.

Planned projects and program notes
- Mission Bay: complete infrastructure, design two Transbay parks, begin Block 48 horizontal infrastructure; spend down a predevelopment loan for Block 4 East Phase 1 (165 family units) and enter a new predevelopment loan for Phase 2 (235 units). OCII also plans a solicitation for Mission Bay South Block 12 West that could include roughly 243 affordable units.
- Transbay: continue construction of Block 3 infrastructure, advance the under-ramp park design and construction preparations, and spend down permanent loans for Block 2 East and Block 2 West (335 units combined). OCII described a $106,000,000 line in the Transbay infrastructure budget that includes bond proceeds and previously issued bonds; OCII does not expect to expend the full sum in FY25–26.
- Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point: focus on predevelopment, finish affordable units under construction in Shipyard Phase 1, continue cleanup coordination with the Navy on parcels still under federal oversight and start horizontal infrastructure work for upcoming Candlestick phases.

Budget process and approvals
OCII staff said the oversight board approved the ROPS on January 30 and the Department of Finance approved it April 11 with no changes; the commission vote approves the local budget and authorizes submission to the mayor and Board of Supervisors.

Public comment and equity commitments
Community member Oscar James urged the commission to prioritize “hyper local” Black contractors and certificate-of-preference holders for jobs created by the agency’s projects. Commissioners and staff responded during the meeting that OCII is focused on small business enterprise (SBE) and workforce goals and will continue to pursue local hiring and contractor participation measures.

Vote and motion
Commissioner Avaish Aracchino moved to approve item 5(a); Commissioner Miller seconded. The roll call vote was 5–0: Commissioner Lim — Yes; Commissioner Miller — Yes; Commissioner Shattuck — Yes; Vice Chair Aquino — Yes; Chair Dr. Carolyn Ransom Scott — Yes. The motion carried.

Looking ahead
OCII staff said they will next submit the approved budget to the mayor's office and Board of Supervisors. Bond issuances referenced in the presentation are targeted across calendar 2025–26 and will return to the commission when staff seek authority to commit construction funds.
