Ask sometimes is people come back with misinformation. There is a pretty rowdy crowd and somebody said we killed that gentleman. Sometimes misinformation gets out. He was transferred to the jail facility. I spoke with the mother. Shes extremely grateful for what she saw at that particular scene. She alluded to some history and why he was there. I wont go into detail about that. I will say this, one thing i will ask is i will listen to you and please listen to me. We have to celebrate when lives are saved. Let him finish. I hear a lot of people come to the podium and discuss when lives are taken, but we have to celebrate when they are not. Because we are preaching in deescalation. This was a gun loaded in extra rounds. You know, im sorry, but if thats my child out there and they have got a fractured arm and they are still alive and they are going to heal. Let him finish. I was physically there. I watched him. You know guys, this is the thing. The rules apply to everybody. Chief, finish what you are saying. I want to say this is new to a lot of folks, we are at a starting point. Im going to stand by commending these folks for what they did. There was a lot of points in that contact that resulted in fatalities in similar contact. These officers showed a lot of restraint and they have done a great job. This man is alive because of the work that they did. I hear what you said. I stand by the officers for the patience and restraint. Some folks in that crowd wanted a show. They wanted us to shoot that guy. Fortunately that didnt happen. This person is alive today because of that. Thank you, chief. Just for paulette, i understand your fears of getting your hopes up, but im glad somebody with fresh eyes is going to be able to look into this case. Can i make another comment about paulette brown, the inspector is a retired gentleman, he ran homicide for a while. Hes very good at what hes done and hes testified and convictions. Hes thorough and one of the most thorough people that i have seen. Sometimes described as being overall thorough. You couldnt have asked for a better person. Hes exactly what you are asking for. I think with a fresh pair of eyes on this thing, when hes starting from scratch, hes not kidding. He will leave no stone unturned. Paulette, thank you for your continued advocacy for your son.

So want to say we have this chair chair wiener two measures one of them going to the ballot one that has been introduced by the mayor as the board of supervisors is one half sales tax combined with twaerts sales tax for Homeless Services this measure is a tax dedicated state of the art half cents sales tax under the jurisdiction of Transportation Authority with the other measures under the variance jurisdiction that was putdown forward and been in the works for many, many years and all aligned with the citys effort that has stepped up in recent years to make Real Investments in transportation we have approved a whole bunch of resolutions supporting new buses and have something here at the board of supervisors and whole planning effort around investments and deferred maintenance weve not done in many, many years decades perhaps with the rediversion around the transportation a collaborative efforts amongst the board and ta the Mayors Office so a lot of credit to go around but we want to make sure something to go forward to give us a chance were not able to moved on the transportation homeless tax measure this will go forward and we actually are amendments here that have before made to this measure to anywhere the structure of the transportation side of the half cents or the three quarters cent state tax well be presenting here today and ill let staff go through that and lastly my office has been engaged with many people in the transit field especially around transit equity and justice working with the mta as well as to create an equity framework how the mta makes decisions on how they serve different neighborhoods and capital is invests in san bruno neighborhoods to make sure that neighborhoods that have traditionally fallen behind on Capital Investments and the planning for thats been part of any effort and making sure those two measures can be meaningful to all of San Francisco so well go to staffs presentation. Thank you commissioner avalos its been a pleasure to collaborate with you two ochz working closely for months on the expenditure plan for transportation with our advocates and the Mayors Office and mta and Transportation Authority staff and dpw and its been a broad based collaborative effort with a strong expenditure plan come out of it and i agree the goal to move forward the general sales tax and Charter Amendment but keeping the three quarters dental expenditure tax measure viable in the event the sales tax dont move forward well have a back up it is good were keeping the various options allowing ill ask the staff to presents on the expenditure plan. Thank you chair wiener this will be a shorter presentation to the slides ill focus on the Public Engagement over the past since two months the input that was represented and how the input is reflected in the changes as commissioner avalos said we want to see introduced to the transportation sales tax measure. So for that benefit of those watching only one set of ballot a dental expenditure plans that has 6 different programs ill go through briefly in a hundred Mental Illness a year with the voters approval i want to say no requirements that the ta board endorse the sales tax it is listed as an information action item, however, tomorrow is probably the last chance to introduce the amendments to the expenditure plan that the Budget Committee. Were planning to introduce at the Budget Committee tomorrow to conform the expenditure plan so theyll be identical. Thank you so heres the 6 categories under the first categories is allocated to the mta to administrator with the category of public works to Transportation Authority administering the other 3 and the same categories in the state tax but the ta will administer the programs this is over last time quick highlights and a shout out to the office of supervisor wiener and commissioner avalos our communication staff have done a tremendous amount of work and alone 12 Public Meetings within ta and the board of supervisors on the expenditure plans dozens of meeting with Key Stakeholders and many oneonone meeting and held a town hall on june 29th that was really short notice we feel that 80 plus paternities were in english and mandrin and spanish and ongoing conversations with the Technical Group that has the Property Owners with the agency so this is what we heard in 3 categories here on the screen and the first are input youll likely here with any revenue measure raising taxed is a big deal no matter what the comments around questions about do we need nor revenues on the other hand, other folks recognizing yes revenues particularly local revenue and there was concern not money to do everything we want to do and many people raised concerns about the ballot could be crowded and confusing and makes things difficult to patios i know that chair wiener in piss capacity as mtc commissioner at the committee where the committee took actions of support for a whole bunch of transportation measures headed to the ballot one half sales tax if sacking county and contra costa and the park bond and a canopy of bonds measures that included both transportation and housing so a lot of stuff moving forward the second group of comments which were echo by the cacs the vice chair is here can give input a lot of comments about the progressive i dont like the source or how to address that issue similarly a lot of input as asking for more funding for equity and affordability that makes our streets safer for everyone cyclists and pedestrians and support for and content why we are are needing a local sales tax to fund the transit and transparency and affordability a show how revenues will go to programs their intent and spent on the right thing. So the changes ive cop chair wieners summarizes from the board of Supervisors Committee the changes that were made are highlighted on the page and most significant ones all those addressing the issues of equity and affordability and sales tax there will be in order here one is there was a slight increase in the revenue forecast for the sales tax that was reflected on the Charter Amendment in the transportation sales tax that increased the funding between the muni and the affordable to the category amongst things and the save and complete streets category it is slightly changing the percentage in table one in your packet a trigger before that allowed bad budget years the mta to convert up to 25 percent of the Capital Funding for the infrastructure category that cap has been removed the mta can flex up to 100 percent and the last significant change were not to the allocation which has the largest category under certain conditions the board of supervisors with the mayors approval can reallocate to those funds to the other categories two of the triggers has to do with securing other funds for the street where a vehicle license fee in this case, the funds are redirected to the other 5 categories the last typewriter trigger it in year 10 with the three quarters of supervisors and the mayor can say theres a reason to take the fund and redirect those to the the categories and last but not least ive mentioned the transparent and affordability input that you saw in the Charter Amendment with of much more brief adding details and adding requirements at the Controllers Office conducted periodic audit and others changes in the packet in attachment 3 commissioner avalos said mirrors the changes in the charter keeping it to the parallel of the technical cleans up and typos particular to the transportation sales tax that are in there this is the assault of increasing the revenue forecast and splitting the new money towards the transit and affordability and im sorry vision zero categories the new percentages reached categories and as i mentioned the 3 triggers in all cases the relocation of the distribution for streets it the same i think that is on the screen the thirty is for affordability and 10 percent to regional tript transit and well note youll see triggers are one time triggers not reversed and lastly a slide for tomorrows budget and finance whether the changes will be introduced and keep your eye on the times change and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. And as i mentioned the cac vice chair will report on the cac special meeting they considered the same item. By way of thank sfgovtv charles kremack and Nona Melkonian for broadcaster todays hearing to commissioner avalos. Thank you wanted to thank the Transportation Authority staff for your work and represents an ambitious plan a couple months ago strechd and want to thank for their effort to make this happen and want to acknowledge that we have many, many stakeholders come together on the expenditure plan and we gave a little bit to make sure that we can have the agreement we were able to increase the level of service of the expenditure for Transit Service and affordability that was a key ask for the transit equity people and especially to be able to have flexibility in our budget to continue with free muni for youth and seniors and people with disabilities and there are other places we gave and took. And the service has come down as well as to accommodate those convicts all these around the Mayors Office to members of the board and different agencies to bring this into a more unified expenditure plan and the mayors expenditures plan for the other tax amendments and charter before us next week.
