Autos on market vaoet and therefore all passenger vehicle pickups and drop offs including tnc vehicles and taxis can be accomplished on the perpendicular streets at the passenger loading zones so the sfmta is adding these loading zones so Passenger Vehicles can continue to provide connectivity on Market Street. We urge sfmta to put a clear vision that puts safety first, a consistent treatment that separates pedestrians and cyclists from four hire Passenger Vehicles is to establish the mission and vision of vision 0 and safer Market Street. Thank you. Thank you. calling speaker names . I figured there was a catch when lift was agreeing to this. Id like to point out we spent Something Like i dont know how many Million Dollars of years on the streets of San Francisco and weve paid for those lanes that were using. Id also like to point out simply that if the tncs are using these ao vehicles using the new york metaphor i mean the low figure was 16 million and or 16 thousand you might as wel
The population increases, no matter what we will not send more trucks on the road than that number so the two changes to the contract were the term and the trucks. Those were the two things that were changed so next steps. The department has the authority to sign such an agreement, and once it is signed that triggers an action that then allows another appeal of ceqa which may come before you. We expect when you come back in september, and then if youre comfortable with that analysis and then we will have this contract in place by january, and all of the benefits that are part of that contract will be felt by the people of San Francisco, so in closing i want to say again as i did in the opening that the contract process has been done with the utmost integrity with the weight of the law and the rules every step of the way front and center. It is protective of the environment. It is very much a strong contract to move us towards zero waste and the most Cost Effective one we can offer rate
General fund will not receive the transfer tax revenues for this transaction so our recommendation on page 29 is we recommend that you amend the proposed resolution to specify the Purchase Price with a credit as listed to reflect the citys exemption of paying the citys Real Estate Property transfer tax and result in adjusted city cost as listed and we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution as amended. Okay. Thank you mr. Rose. Colleagues any questions for mr. Rose or our team . Okay. We will move on to Public Comment. Anyone wish to comment on item 11 . Seeing none. Public comment is now closed.

That, if you look at what is happening in greece right now, it becomes really clear that the Global Private financing and Banking System is becoming so incredibly powerful that they can literally hijack a country and go against the will of over 60 of the voters in that country. Lets not forget back during when gerry ford was president and president ford basically said, sorry, so we need to be able to protect ourselves in the case that the global banks become even more powerful and even start trying to leverage San Francisco. We need to figure out a way to have a public bank available, so we can avoid the kind of thing that
Competitive rfq process to look for qualified respondents. In 2009 we did a public rfp and got two bids and one from recology and one from Waste Management. We looked at other environmental factors which came out fairly evenly but the thing that was very striking was the difference in cost which would translate to over 100 million for ratepayers over the lifetime of this contract.
