Broken meters. And maybe, limit the period of time. Ab 2602, on page 24 as well. Deals with disabled parking plakers. And establishes a twotiered system. And with distinguished by the disabilities that have severely limited the mobility. And i understand while we are recommending a watch, that the mta as well, is looking possibly to support that in the coming weeks. Mr. Lavine on page 37 of the matrix has sponsored abx124 and introduced in special session late in 2015. Essentially. And it would convert the mtc from the current appointed body. To an elected body of and transition over a period of time. And it is already on the sync with the reality of the time and dates, because it has a date of 2016, for the current law with a new structure to go in place in 2017 and he has not been able to move his measure because it is in special session, and the special session has not convened for him to have the bill referred to in a committee at this point in time. And nonetheless the recommendation of opposed would give us the ability to jump in in case in the waning days of the legislative session, the special session comes back into play, at his bill is referred. And his bill is one of 25. That will most likely and not the center of interest, of the special session. So it is not like we have the legislator would refer them, but you never know what it might bring by way of surprises and so this will put you in position to be prepared to act to oppose. And i just wanted to thank you for that recommendation. Because of our kind of we have the two champions of vision zero kind of on each side. And i think that this is really critical that we oppose those kinds of efforts that are counter to creating safer streets and a culture of safety, but thank you. Sb 951 is on page 39 and this was established a golden gate, patriot pass program. And this is an effort by the author who is from the north coast to try to develop the transit passes partially funded by the state and funded by the volunteer transit agencies to the benefit of veterans, and veteran users of the transit systems. Although, it has got a pretty structured framework in place, it just does not yet have a Funding Source. It depends upon a future appropriation in the budget process. And it does require if it ever gets to that point and it is activated it bo require would require that any of the applicant transit agencies that seek to access this program, would have to match it based on the Different Levels of match, depending on the urban or rural or very rural areas of the state. So, i think that this is a concept we will probably see it come back. And if it is still alive at this point in time and it is to challenge for the authors of finding a Funding Source for it. And last but not least, is senators 986 and this is on page shths 39 of the matrix. And it reduces the penalty for the right turn or the violation. That is the one that i was referring to counter to vision zero i and i thought that you had covered that. I pdz, it is opposed as you point out, it runs quarter to what the city and county are trying to do here and the others in the state. So we would recommend taking an opposed position on that. Other than that, i would be ready to try to answer questions about the 40 pages of bills that you have in front of you. Or anything else that is going on in sacramento at this point in time. Commissioner yee . Just curious in terms of the 986, what is the motivation for this . I mean, we will talk to the authors office. I mean the. Senator hill . Yes. And you know, his staff has explained that they just view it as a very minor infringement and that is and that i think that it may have actually come out of a concept from the citizens in his county that dont like to get the larger tickets because the tickets build up and you have the penalties and the fees. And i think that is the true motivation. It is not bounded in straight poli policy. Where is it right now . It is in the second house, and the tran powertation committee. I would like us at the board level to have a resolution to oppose this. And i think that it is totally counter to our efforts looking at red light cameras of speeding enforcement and then, even just walk the staffers to humanize the killings on the streets and the serious dangers and this is total counter to vision zero as we have been trying to implement too. I had one that my staff highlighted. It is ab 869 and i leave that it is on the over all packet and it is increasing fair evasion, fair evasion, penalties. And as we as a city and our, and i think that our legislative delegation is looking at decriminalizing it. And i think that it is another one that i am hoping we take a closer look at, but it is ab 869. Mr. Cooper, could you talk about that one . You know that bill is was introduced by the district. And they have been trying to take advantage of the administrative adjudication Transit Court process that is in law that has been made available for several years and they have had a difficult time coming up with the thing that is workable and that the court system and the county will work with them on. And so their attempt through 869 was to first and foremost, what they would like to have is a Transit Court with maybe a 10 for evasion, and at all levels but then have the hammer if someone abuses it and does not pay the 10, after several times have the ability to criminalize it. And so it is just an attempt, they have run into a block wall and the bill is parked on the second house floor and so it is not in danger of going anywhere at this point in time. It is also counter to the low income people that the Community Housing partnership and coalition on homelessness supervisor and looking at the impact of fees on the low income people and homeless. And i think that as our effort to decriminalize, for minors and i think that it is counter and so it is a watch and i will not raise recommendations but i am concerned about legislation like that. I would just add sir, that the bill in the present form will not move forward. Okay. If they can find a pathway, then they will have to develop the amendments and present at that point in time. And go back and i think at that point you could weigh in. Way way or the other. I see no other questions, go to the public. Anyone from the public that would like to speak on the legislative recommendations . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Could we take this we dont need to do a roll call, the house has changed. The house has changed. We need a roll call on the recommendation by our legislative advocate. On item 4, commissioner camp campos. Absent. Coen. Aye. Kim . Aye. Mar. Aye. Yee. Aye. The item is approved. Thank you. Item number five . Item five, preliminary fiscal year 16 17 annual budget and work program, this is an information item. And we have Deputy Director. Good morning, Deputy Director for finance administration. And what we have before you today is the fiscal year 16 17. This is your first look and you also have this item come before you at next months finance committee meeting. We have for you a presentation, a 18 page, presentation today to go over the budget and i will present the first half and i have the executive director tang present the annual work plan and wrap it up for questions or comments or any further direction that you have on the annual budget the budget connives tifts of major areas, and the prop double a, and the vehicle registration fees, and our Transportation Fund for Clean Air Program and our treasure island, management agency. The budget will also before the committee in the month of joo unfor approval. We also have line items for capitol expenditures and our operating costs and our financing and our debt service costs. The budget includes attachment a which is our annual work plan. Our attachment b which is our executive level view of the annual budget. We have attachment c, which is the detailed view of all of the different Revenue Sources that we will be receiving in addition to every line item in terms of spens that we will be spending and attachment d will also be including a line item description, and each line item a description of how we came up with that and how to project for the up coming year. What i have here is a pie chart that shows that the total revenue for the fiscal year, 16 17, will accumulate to 125. 8 million, and as you can see the majority represented here are sales tax revenue and this represents 86 percent and the next highest source of revenue is 6. 91 percent and this is our federal grant revenue. And as you saw in the past you had a large amount of federal grant, revenue last year because of the one time parkway milestone, we also have the huge expenditures for the island ramps project. This year in the fiscal year, we are wrapping up the ramps project and that will be completed in september and so this is going to explain why the federal Grant Funding revenues are lower than it was in the past year. We also have our regional Grant Funding of up to 2. 2 percent, and this is a project that are the School Transportation survey and the interchange and the Improvement Study and we have the state funding, and that is our Planning Program and moni r monitoring and the state contributions for the island and the improvement program. We have the interests and revenue and consist of any sublease office space that we have during the year. Moving on, to next slide. Our next slide, this is the history of sales tax revenue. This is the ten year history. As you can see last year we broke 100 million, and they were at 100. 3 million and so we were projecting 100. 82, and you will see that there was a sales tax revenue and we have 62. 9 million and this was really the financial crisis back then and this is when brothers collapsed and some of the other institutes at that time. You guys can help me out with those power points . If you just following along with the slides. We have the total status and this is page six, and this is the next page and what we have from the inception to the date of what has been programmed. There is about, three billion dollars program. And approximately what has been allocated is 1. 5 billion. And what has been reimbursed is less than a million. As you can see here, that we are programming more than we were receiving in reimbursements. And this is what we are used to seeing and this is how we will balance the cash on the debt as we have been issuing. And so as you may recall, each year we anticipated the debt to come in because our revenues are much lower than our expenditures. But because of the speed of reimbursement coming in from our sponsors. We have been able to manage that and basically utilize our resolving credit loan, program, to help meet those cash flow needs. And we are not and we do not have to issue any, a bond in order to meet those cash flow needs at a higher rate. Deputy director, i had a question, do we have projections to 2020, it looks like it is a pretty significant increases. Pretty much from 2009. And is it going to level out . Or are we continuing to increase the tax revenues through the city through 2020 . We have a projection of the sales tax revenues that was just recently completed. And from what i recall seeing, it is a steady increase, incrementally between 2 percent up to 4 percent. Over up to 2020. I dont see any anticipated down slope like what we saw in fiscal year 9 or 10, but that is related to the market as well. So it looks like we might hit a point of almost doubling our sales tax revenue from 2009, to basically 2020. That is not bad. It is possible. Very possible. Okay. Projection from the economists. Okay. Moving on to the next slide. Okay, what we have here is sales tax history and to give you a sense of how high and low our expenditures have been for the last ten years and as you can see here, there is no consistent pattern, there is no projection and no real projection of what we can see as coming up as expenditures and in 2007, we had a huge year for expenditures because of the third street initial operating. And the line and then as each year followed you can see that has gone up. And in 2010, the financial crisis year, expenditures were at 52 million which worked out very well, since the revenues came in at 62. 9 million. Moving on to the next slide, this is a slide that shows you that in this years budget for fiscal year, 16, 17, 440 Million Dollars of prop k fund with the local match of muni vehicles. These are the motor coaches and the trolly buses and the light rail vehicles and the para transit. And you can see that the motor coaches that ve planned, 584, trolly buses 480, for light rail vehicles and 192 and what we have is 152 coming para transit. And with that, that is the Good Opportunity for the executive director to come up and present the annual work program. Thank you. Mresed to present the program. And our agency wide goals are on here on the slide ten and they are the seven board directed goals for our agency. Collaborating with our partner agencies. And even as we build the awareness of our programs and our opportunities, to do business with the ta. And to facilitate our agency and staff development. And on that last one i will note that this is a special year for us as we are taking the opportunity to look in ward to do the Organizational Assessment to prepare for some of the new roles as the treasure island, Mobility Agency and to address some of the Management Systems and policies and procedures and things that are happy to take a look at once in a while and providing the excellent workplace as well as development for them and making sure that we are meeting the city and the regions needs going forward. Forward to presenting to you at the board level as we make progress on that effort. We break it down into three budgets. Plan and fund and deliver and report on that. Transparency and accountability goal. On the planning side as in the years passed we have a rich work program that is provided to us through your direction as well as what comes into the neighborhoods through the neighborhood improvement program. And we are also working with the city, and region on long range planning. Some of the items that you are aware of are the freeway Management Study and work on the lanes to connect, San Francisco to the south bay and through the lane treatments on the freeway for the buses and high occupancy car pools, but we are working on the plan to try to move and shift the folks out of that crowded peak period. And that is an inno vaive use of technology and marketing to help the folks to come in earlier or later in that pique period and avoid that crowded condition, and help us with that. And on the ror door, we want to bring that forward, and by now it is much more than a bus rapid, project and what began as a transit and reliability has really turned into a complete street and safe vision zero project as well. And so we appreciate your support on that as we wrap things up. And our Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Program and i just attended yesterday and we had a great out reach meeting and ta hoeflted the district five, and Community Based Transportation Plan and i saw a lot of great comments, and review by the community. And that is just one example of one project in one of our districts and we have them going on each of the districts and we are able to finish that first effort. I believe in the district. And on the 8th and 16th and 23rd, on the bicycle facilities there. And vision zero i will come back to and that is an Important Initiative that we appreciate, commissioner kim to support there and district six and we are working in the ba. Lboa area to improve safety and the connections. In district nine. And finally this last group here the regional core capacity study the up date and the long range Planning Program. These are long range Capitol Improvement and Planning Programs that we are undertaking with the city and region to provide for that long term strategy. How are we going to address the climate needs and affordability and equity and to make sure that we can plan for the Capitol Improvements even as we look for new revenue to build some of those needed improvements. Moving on to the next page, we have our technology and enabled white paper coming up. This could be used on the earlier work, and trying to speak to and capture the work that is happening right now, on the connected vehicles, and technology, and enabled apps and services that are really upon us. And out there. And we need to make sure that we have a strong policy framework to guide the citys regulations and to that sector and a smooth transition, and as we graple with the benefits and the impacts of some of these services. We will provide that to the agency. And moving on to funding. I will just note that we hope that this is a big year for our local revenue. We are pledging our support to bart as bart pursued a regional bond, and we have been working with the city agencies and the regional agencies on a new revenue measure and we await it on the board for that. And we have the fund programming ongoing and allocations ongoing from the prop k and the double a programs and the one Grant Program and the cycle two work is happening together with the region to see where that program will land, but it looks to be similar to last round, which is funding some of the major initiatives here. The masonic bike facilities and the street, and the safeway to School Programs and the like. And in terms of let me see. One more, and one thing that i might want to write and highlight here was the legislative advocacy will be heading up to sacramento together with the chamber to advocate for the special session, and mark watts just presented to you. And i am looking for the new revenues of the state level and advocating for our priorities under the cap and trade. And Affordable Housing and transit. And active transportation, biking and bicycle and Pedestrian Safety projects as well as high speed rail. Okay. Now, turning to the deliver, the planned fund and now deliver. This is going to be an exciting year as we anticipate completing the westbound ramp projects and we have a westbound, counter part coming up this next year. The parkway will seek final acceptance of that project. Each though we have opened it up to traffic last year, and the final works will be completed by the end of this calendar year, on i280, at the park ramps our team is working on the southbound offramp to straighten it out and make it safer even as we working in the district six and nine as well on the ramp improvement projects. Turning to our oversight roll, cal train and electric identification, and the high speed rail and the major focus this year, central subway will keep an eye on that project which is making great progress on time and on budget there. The transbay, center will see the substantial advancement moving towards completing and the downtown, extension will be the new focus to renew that work and to build on the alternatives that Planning Department is looking at in and move forward with the high speed rail. And cal train, and engineering support, there is good work happening in the bay view as well as elsewhere in the city as we provide the work to public works and the San Francisco public works in 19th avenue in particular. Now, on transparency and accountability, the reporting functions as usual you will see some of these take place and we look forward to more collaboration and progress on some of these areas and integrated technology and systems project is knitting together the portable system making it easy for them to administer grants and making that more seamless and accessible, via the web, for example. And we also as i mentioned on the Human Resources side are taking a look again at how do we manage our work program . And how do we provide for the work Program Planning and advancement in mentoring opportunities to our staff because we are seeing quite a bit of pressure from the other agencies and the other organizations as we have been coached a few times this year. And we want to hang on to the great staff at the ta. With that, i will just, we will also, look forward to your guidance, this month and be back for the approval next week, and i want to thank the finance team for a job well done, thank you. Thank you.
