OCII elects leadership; hears RFP notice and marketing outcomes for Mission Bay and Hunters Point

At the May 7 meeting the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure completed routine organizational and informational business before moving to project items.

The commission elected Miguel Bustos as chair and Commissioner Michelle Rosales as vice chair under the successor agency bylaws; both elections were uncontested and approved by voice vote (3–0). Public commenter Oscar James offered congratulations and support during the nomination period.

In reports, OCII staff announced a notice of intent to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for parks and streetscape maintenance and property management services at Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1, citing prior unsuccessful procurement in 2017 and a revised scope. Staff also presented marketing outcomes for a Mission Bay multifamily affordable rental: 113 units were offered via lottery within a 142‑unit affordable development; 25 Certificate of Preference (COP) holders applied and 10 were successful, which staff said was the highest COP success rate in recent comparable projects. OCII flagged language‑targeted outreach (Mandarin, Spanish, Tagalog) and housing counseling supports (including DAHLIA system assistance) as contributors to broader participation among Latino households.

Commissioners asked staff about outreach partnerships and coordination with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and community‑based organizations; staff said housing counselors and outreach efforts are being expanded to assist applicants through DAHLIA and other supports.
