one thing that i am really proud of, we're continuing to lead by example. amid a lot of these interviews, where are you doing? leading by example is really important. we are going to present to the board of supervisors, they will not be adopting the plan. they will be accepting it. we need to do separate environmental analysis of some of these strategies. this is more of a strategic document. we're looking at putting this information up for activities. they'll also be looking at the plan for those resources that we have identifying resources to get to some of these early wins. there is really low hanging fruit that we can go for. they're not actually dollars and cents. they're just policy changes. they will seek clearance on the project programs as needed. that concludes my presentation. are there any questions? >> a couple of these i would like to mention. earlier in this meeting, this board agreed to putting in the recharging station in 23 of the garages. it is a two-year pilot program. the first years are free. we can encourage people to use these and they are being installed at no cost. in the second thing is that, our role here is to receive comment at this point. the thing that is the most difficult and most contentious through the years would be a strategy for demand pricing. we have to see that this doesn't commit the agency or the city to that. it commits us to explore what that might look like. the last time that was raised, we irritated the neighbors to the south enormously. that is really the point, look at it and see what it might be. >> i wanted to compliment you and your entire staff. this is really an amazing document. i spent a little too long last night reading it. you have the gold cert. in just a couple things i want to mention, i was really struck how short the average car trip is. it is less than 3 miles. there is so much opportunity there, and it is great to have a pathway to meet what we can do with that. since you brought up the demand rising, i say every single time that we can do it with a parking, managing the parking. we do control the. when we are talking about the fiscal year 12 budget, there is a low hanging fruit brought price and item that we have to continue to explore. and not flooding the city streets with cars. i want to say that it is great. it is a really good document. it is well done. >> i was surprised to see the bicycle's being more superior to pedestrians. >> there is a kinetic energy. you burn more calories. if you want to lose weight, walk. if you want to lose weight, walker. -- walk. with a bicycle, you can build up kinetic energy. >> i ride a bike because i am lazy. [laughter] director lee: i thought it was a great presentation. just a couple of thoughts. your plan here looks great. we look at how we can incorporate incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. that is a big impact also. the other thing, too, the things that are no-brainers, left turns on the oncoming traffic, with over 200,000 across the nation. none of them make a left turn into oncoming traffic. that is greatly reduced to the greenhouse gas emissions that we are admitting. >> it is a quick and easy thing you can do. >> we do have a speaker. >> the afternoon, board members. i just wanted to come today and thank timothy and the other staff for including the authority in the development of the transportation sector. the emphasis clearly is a leader in the region and the state and the country carry i wanted to take a minute to put the transportation cast in the context of a planning effort. timothy mentioned it briefly, and it is really the transportation basic share for san francisco,. we can use it to advocate for federal and state funding at a regional level. one of the key focus areas will be to contribute to a healthy environment. and we look forward to evaluating the strategy as part of it to understand the benefits and the trade-off of bundling strategies together. and the broader context of the transportation goals and needs. we look forward to continuing to collaborate with the department of the environment period quote thank you very much. >> we have seen a number of communications about this. yesterday, i spoke to clark. i invited her to be here, but she was not able to do that. we're very appreciative of this effort. we have support messages from the president. the national transportation association and many others. i suggested that there be a public memorial. is very touching and very moving, this kind of an event. it will be sometime in the next coming months. if this is at all possible, we can dedicate this to concern and be in conjunction with that. and we can support this incredible man that we all miss very much. members? >> i would like to move this item? you have your leadership on doing something appropriate for our colleague, and they have also been very helpful in this process. i will say briefly, he was a true transit man. very patient colleague. he knew more than all of us did, and he was always very sweet with his advice and gentle even when we were wrong. i'm sure he is enjoying his new job of telling saint peter how to run his chariots service better. i would just say briefly, he had an encyclopedic knowledge of transportation. the combined it with a boyish enthusiasm for it. the best way to summarize that, i saw him as with my little boy. >> he has left a big void here for us. i read your comments about the boyish enthusiasm, that could not have been more correct. >> my daughter and i have visited carmen. i happily move this item. >> when this passes, the idea would be that we come up with a plaque or something. can we see if someone can work with her to see when the memorial might be so that it can be in conjunction? there is also the women in transit, the national convention in town. it is too soon to do that. there are wonderful tributes, she has received letters and cards. there are real about about how it affected their lives. >> is great that his colleagues from sacramento took the bus out. >> we have a motion and a second. whenever we do the dedication, the a good time for members to do a program. they can express that. to others it was very touching. >> endorsing the san francisco better states plan to guide the staff in all decisions and all applicable state and federal statutory regulations. the better streets the plant is helping to gusts daft is all decisions. >> we could have a presentation is people like. >> this is a resolution. >> is there emotion and a second. -- a motiion and a second? >> second. >> is there a motion to go into closed session? >> so ordered, we will go into closed session. the first one will be the labor negotiations. thank you >> in that case, the meeting stands adjourned.
