Summary

Christine Carr, nominated to the Treasure Island Development Authority board, described homebuilding and affordable housing experience and cited Treasure Island’s plan for about 8,000 units with roughly 2,100 affordable (about 25%). Committee members requested consultation with the district supervisor and continued the nomination to the call of the chair.

The Rules Committee considered the mayor's nomination of Christine Carr to the Treasure Island Development Authority board on June 11, 2018, but continued the item to allow Carr and committee members to consult with the district supervisor before forwarding a recommendation.

Carr described her professional background in home building, land development and nonprofit work, noting experience with Habitat for Humanity and other community programs. She said of Treasure Island's plan: "8000 total a residential...approximately 2,100," which she described as "about 25%" affordable and said she supported the mixed-income neighborhood approach but did not have the specific income-band breakdown at the hearing.

Supervisors pressed Carr on her familiarity with Treasure Island. Carr said she had toured the island, reviewed plans and spoken with the director (Bob Becker) and other stakeholders to familiarize herself with the project. Committee members also flagged that Treasure Island lies in Supervisor Jane Kim's district and that Carr had not met with Kim's office; several supervisors said it was appropriate that Carr meet the district supervisor before the committee acted.

Treasure Island Commissioner Linda Fadike Richardson spoke during public comment in favor of Carr and cautioned the committee about infrastructure funding, saying that "even at 25%, we're gonna be coming back here to find even the funds...we don't have the funds now even at 25%." After public comment and additional discussion about scheduling during budget season, the committee agreed to continue Carr's nomination to the call of the chair to allow outreach and a planned site tour on June 22.

The continuance means the committee did not forward a recommendation to the full board at this meeting; the nomination will return after the chair schedules follow-up.
