Here in part is to get the transportation, into that fold as well. So, specifically, what the task force is recommending is actually, three ballot measures, two funding sources, that would together generate 1. 5 billion dollars, over the next 15 years, for better roads and improved transit and safer streets and i will walk through, what some of those are and so the way that the state law that was approved, that authorizes the San Francisco board of supervisors, to bring to the voters consideration for an increase in the vehicle license fee, that state law required that that measure be brought to the voters as a general tax and so if the voters were to approve that vehicle license increase it would be a general tax that is 75 or 80 Million Dollars a year and so in order to direct the amount of revenues towards transportation, to address or chip away at that 10 billion, we will need another measure on the ballot, expressing the voters intents and that those additional general Fund Revenu
To the voters consideration for an increase in the vehicle license fee, that state law required that that measure be brought to the voters as a general tax and so if the voters were to approve that vehicle license increase it would be a general tax that is 75 or 80 Million Dollars a year and so in order to direct the amount of revenues towards transportation, to address or chip away at that 10 billion, we will need another measure on the ballot, expressing the voters intents and that those additional general Fund Revenues will be used for that purpose. Is that a twothirds . No, and so a general Obligation Bond is a twothirds, and by the state law, and the vehicle license fee increase, because it is a general tax, is a 50 percent. Okay. Requirement. And then, the whatever the companion measure would be, and say a nonbinding policy statement, or even a charter amendment, would be a 50 percent as well. So there will be three measures that will be recommendd for this November Ballot to imp
Okay. Requirement. And then, the whatever the companion measure would be, and say a nonbinding policy statement, or even a charter amendment, would be a 50 percent as well. So there will be three measures that will be recommendd for this November Ballot to implement the first half and the 1. 5 billion of what the task force recommended and the big picture of trying to put these into the big buckets and there are 625 million that will be going to the roads and 635 millen to the transit and 300 million for the safe streets and i will walk quickly through what is in each of those categories. And there was quite a bit of discussion, just before i jump in, and in terms of should we be putting money in a capitol, and into the things in the ground and the tangible improvements verses sending more money to the operating budget and to fund more services because we do have more demand right now from muni service for example, than we can meet with the current system. And you can see here, kind of
Know this prop g was all you guys want to do is fulfill your corporations downtown, the corporations dont vote. People back here do. So in closing, we have to change the formula of how this board is being governed or appointed. So we do have a Ballot Initiative to put on the ballot, to change the formula, so the community can have a voice. Anybody else who wishes to address the board. Good afternoon. Thank you, i didnt expect to comment on this hearing the testimony, i am a 37year driver at desoto and the experience he speaks of is real and i want to reiterate its an extremely serious situation and formula for disaster. Thank you. Thank you, next item. The consent calendar all items are considered to be routine unless a member of the public or member of the board wishes to have the item severed and considered separately. We have received a request item 10. 4 regarding the car share vehicles and 10. 11 with regard to the Development Agreement between the city and county and Visitacion V
Negotiations table has a totally different attitude. So what you are saying here is totally insulting. It is totally insulting. And its hard for me to believe that none of you on the board knew about what was going on. This is a calculatedattack on the Biggest Minority Group of employees in the city, period. If you guys really want to help us out, really appreciate the work that the men and women are doing day in and day out for this agency, you would give us a fair contract. Thank you, mr. Williams. Anyone else wish to address the board on public commenting . Seeing none. Does anyone else wish to address the board . If so, please fill out a good. Good afternoon, im a former transit operator. From what i understand what you are presenting to this membership is ridiculous. Based on what we need to do, what we had to do out there, we had no restrooms.
