Thank you, welcome mr. Electing e beck you were us late last night welcome back. Thank you supervisor farrell and supervisor tang the item the item before you is one of a total of 17 pieces of legislation part of the progress of forming the infrastructure financing district and Community Facilities on Treasure Island t the fooid are for the Treasure Island development ifd and efd so to reimburse costs by the developer as well as to help fund the Affordable Housing development on the island the cf d will reimburses certain infrastructure costs as well as creating a capital reserve for Sea Level Rise and a imperpetual fund for the three Hundred Acres of parks and part of Treasure Island program the resolution relates specifically to the financing plan, which is the guiding document for did Formation Administration of the infrastructure revitalization and financing district t the i f that drafted with the terms of disposition agreement and its champion blend it was adopted in 2011 if this item is move forward today it will catch up with the items in committee on october 15th and considered at the full board at a future hearing with the those other items include the intention to form the two districts if those are approved before our break this year we will expect 9 public hearing on the formation of district and the vote of the Property Owners within the distract will occur at the january 10th meeting of the full board since the i f p one language change if we know you but that on the screen this language change is tint the clarify the city stated it intends to seek the starter participation in the program traffic the commitment of state property tax increment that flows from the program and if this future legislative change or other legislative changes that allows out revenues to the i f did the language will clarify for the board of supervisors what pledge those through the district without a revote and the additional revenues will be committed chief suhr to the Affordable Housing bonus program. Thank you for that information since we had a lengthy discussion ill not rehash everything im just wondering though given some of the options that were put on the table at the full board merging in relation to the package weve continued the item for november 6th i believe do you feel that i mean i didnt think also as of yesterday would have been a solution for the financing gaps whats our thoughts moving as we he approach december 6th. The terms of d da the developer is committed to providing the Public Infrastructure and it eligible for reimbursement for certain costs subject to the limitations of the financing district they then accept certain risks that costs wouldnt be fully covered the city committed to delivering the Affordable Housing program with some help with a contribution in the developer and some revenues that come from the i r f d any surplus revenues from the i f r d flows to Affordable Housing and closing that gap but the terms that have been put forward in the i f p are consistent with the split of revenues that were set for the from the d da as we work to close the gap the citys obligation under the agreement it may its going to be a lengthy process one of the things that Getting Started helps us allows us the prudent of grant at the did you Funding Sources that requires us to have a project ready site so some of the opportunities pursue funding need us to move forward to start that process and other lafco changes at the state level that will play out but important to keep in mind this is a 20year or more development on the island and we have an ample amount of time to continue to close the gap to fully fund the 21 hundred 73 unit were committed to developing but also sanitation yesterday we should have 3 surplus sites that gives us the opportunity to develop more housing over time and it sounds like similar that was described to us yesterday, i hope that has we approach december 6th either there is new information, new options and so forth that sounds like most of board is not common with that is laid out ill leave it at that theres a lot of work to be done but for todays purposes to catch up with the items and approve or disapproveed items thank you very much workplace mr.

[gavel] ladies and gentlemen, please, please. Cell phones set on vibrate and call interference and the board ask theyre off. Item 4 is approval of the minutes. Is there a motion and a second. Second. Okay. Is there Public Comment. I guess there s good afternoon. Good afternoon. I am the executive director of Library Users association. I noticed that your minutes have in some cases very extensive or relatively extensive descriptions of what members of the public have said, and in other instances only indicate whether somebody spoke in favor or opposed to an item on the agenda. Since its my understanding that the sunshine ordinance requires you to summarize what people have said from the public as well as to indicate whether they favor or oppose i am concerned that youre not following adequately the sunshine ordinance and i would like to know why there is that differential in the minutes that i am seeing . Thank you. And i would oppose approval of the minutes as they stand without summaries of every Public Comment thats in there. Thank you. We have a motion and a discussion . Any further discussion . Maybe the City Attorney would speak on what is required . I i dont know its required butted you like to care to comment on that. The ordinance does require a brief summary of comments. [inaudible] [off mic] okay. So what do you want to do with this . Directors so just to clarify so when for general Public Comment on matters within the jurisdiction of the mta not on the agenda there are extensive summaries of what people say. The sunshine ordinance requires just a summary of what somebody said and whether or not they support, oppose or speak to neither so for when the board takes an action on an item i show whether or not the member members of the public support, oppose or neither, but when the item is not on the agenda then there is a large extensive summary of what was said. I am generally following the board of supervisors actions with these minutes. Okay. Good enough for me. Members of the board we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion . Discussion . All in favor say aye. Aye. Thank you. Next item. Item 5 communications. Please be advised that 14 has been removed from the agenda at the request of staff. Okay. And that concludes item 5. Item 6 introduction of new or Unfinished Business by board members. Is there Public Comment on communications . Yes. What do you want to say . Its not clear to me what communications refers to, but i have sent through the secretary to each member a letter concerning our concerns with respect to item 12, the 19 polk bus so i hope that all the members have received this letter and i have a copy to give you when the time comes and i can give you to you if you like and a two page letter concerning the polk 19 reroute. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else thank you. Under communications were set there. New or Unfinished Business. Seeing none. Number 7 is the directors report. Good afternoon mr. Reiskin. Good afternoon board and staff. A number of items to give you an update on. The first last tuesday was a big day in city, state and country. Im not sure how to go about summarizing but i did want to acknowledge that with regard to the changes at the federal level. Obviously theres a lot theres much more than we dont know than we do. This agency has a strong and deep relationship with the United States department of transportation and we expect that to continue. We look forward to working with them and the new administration. Really not much more we know at the federal level at this point. Just the main news locally have to do with there were a number of pron sigzs on the ballot that directly or indirectly impacted the agency. The main ones with direct impact was prop j and the Charter Amendment that would have set aside funds for transportation and Homeless Services and housing. That was passed overwhelmingly by the voters and current count 2 3 report. Prop k which was the sales tax that did not say so in the voter information was meant to be the Funding Source for prop j did not pass and it did not pass by a rather wide margin. As a result of that the mayor exercised his prerogative with regard to prop j to essentially invalidate it absent the funds to execute it. So the good news is there that when faced with the question should the city devote more dollars to transportation the voters overwhelmingly said yes. The third one directly related to this agency was prop l which would have changed how members of this body, of your body, are appointed. It would have changed the vote threshold for the board of supervisors rejection of an mta budget. That also failed. And then there were a few other measures that will impact our baseline. I believe the increase in the real estate tax, the increase the establishment of a soda tax, and the dignity fund set aside all together will have an impact. I think it will be in the positive impact to the general fund set aside but were
