Of the capital plan that we only recommend to the board, in the form of general on Obligation Bonds and issuance of those bonds such as the issuance doesnt require an increase in property tax rates and we issue new debt as old debt has retired or as the Property Tax Base grows that can accommodate Additional Debt without requiring tax rates so you can see the bond Program Going back a number of years, were able to continue to issue this debt to make these investments without an increase in property tax rates. In terms of project selection, this is detailed in the bond report. But for all the different categories of funding, theres common criteria we look at in determining where in the city to make these investments and for bike and pedestrian improvements, we have specific criteria were using to drive this. And as i mentioned with an over lay as were making these improvements that were closing any equity gaps that we identify. Supervisor tang made reference to the oversight. The city has built a strong robust and transparent process for the management of these Obligation Bonds. Starting with the citys citizens general Obligation BondOversight Committee that is staffed by the city controls office which has review and auditing of all general Obligation Bond programs and importantly just to remind you, every time that we issue a series of bonds, and for a 500 million program, it would be three or four series thats we would come to on each one of those issuances and it requires approval from the board of supervisors and appropriation that goes with those. Each time we come for those approvals, its at that point we have a specific list of projects and programs for which were seeking your approval for the investment and then the reporting to go along with that to the committee to the board of supervisors through public websites that weve established for these bond programs as well as part of the annual Capital Budgeting process. So thats what i want today cover today. Mohammed are here to answer any questions you have. Colleagues, any questions to mr. Ruskin. I want to say on the upgrade of obsolete muni and visiting some of the balboa park or the muni yards where the light rail vehicles or other vehicles are being maintained, i saw firsthand how facilities and Capital Needs to create more state of the art maintenance facilities can help our whole system run better and extend the life of our vehicles as well, so im appreciative of seeing it firsthand and understanding how critical that bond is. I did want to ask the question that some of the advocates on Public Safety on the streets and in many of our neighborhoods are asking, i know up until last week when we have a vehicle license fee, many of us was hoping it would move forward with this gobond that there was a 13 million commitment to additional projects that would support our vision zero and i think many are feeling theres a 13 million hole in our needs to have vision zero fully implemented. I know this budget, that fills 3 million it, but i know that you mentioned that you feel that 60 percent of the whole bond goes towards significant vision zero type infrastructure upgrades, but i know many still see that roughly, 10 to 13 million hole, so im wondering what could be done to fill that hole within this bond, mr. Ruskin. To supervisor mar and the chair, the first thing i would say, we tried to strike a balance in the ordinance between enough specifity for the board and for the voters with enough flexibility to so as we work through the process and through the years that we have flexibility to make adjustments if needed, the bond report does recommend an expenditure plan which reflects a balance of needs we have in the city, so i think i feel comfortable advancing the program we have at this time. We did have a total of 33 million and we still do and were in the second year of our Capital Budget that anticipated the vehicle license fee being on the ballot and getting approved this year, the two year delay does mean that we have a 33 million gap to fill in the second year of our budget and well likely have a gap in the next two years. We have plenty of time between now and fiscal year to work with the board the Mayors Office to figure out how to best close that gap, and thats what i would recommend. And im going to be supportive of moving the bond forward today. It has to sit for a week, is that right . But i did have questions and i know many others would like to know, one is there are a number of projects within the dlf funds allegations that are bond eligible and the question is, is this bond flexible enough to accommodate those dlf projects and how deeply can we search for projects like cal trans like mel assessment district for downtown and they pay their fair share given that theyll benefit from the transit improvements in the Transit Center area. Number three, what commitments can the mta and the mayor can back field the gaps by the blf given the mayor stated support. Lastly, ill do my best that my office and i are following up with you and fill the hole, but thank you for the presentation. Thank you. In terms of flexibility of the different projects, there are some thing thats were proposed for the funding that are not gobond such as fleet. State law Everything Else or most of the left of it is somewhat flexible and the ordinance is awarded that we do on have that flexibility. With regard to the cal tran contribution, we as the city, i believe also the Transportation Authority signed an mou committing to 60 million worth of funding. This is a possible source for that funding. It doesnt preclude us exploring other sources but i think we do want to send a strong signal to our regional partners that well absolutely honor the terms of that mou, that we signed onto. In terms of committing to fill the gap, what i can commit is to work with the board and i appreciate your offer to work with us on that, and with the Mayors Office to close that gap, again, both in fiscal 16 and in fiscal 17 because its two years of impact from the two year delay of the vehicle license fee, but were committed and my board was the first to dopt vision zero and we want to make sure were doing what we can to raise the revenues so we can implement it as fully as possible. Speaker i look forward to the conversations. Thank you. Supervisor wiener. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I want to follow up on a few comments and questions from supervisor mar. In terms of cal trans and cal trans success in terms of its ultimate extension to the trans bay Transit Center, its in San Francisco interest to make sure we keep up our commitment of a 68 million contribution but we make it work. A lot of san franciscans rely on cal trans and its all of benefit. So we need to make sure we keep that commitment in the bond. It makes sense to make that capital investment. We know the reality of how things work with mtas budget. Thats going to come out of mtas operation budget and thats going to be a detriment of muni and street projects. In terms of the mello rus, that was intended to provide funding to the downtown extension if the downtown extension. That money is being divert today the trans bay center, so the mello rus money, that will be coming to the board and well talk about that. Its a disappointing occurrence in my view. Finally, im in agreement in terms of the need it figure out how were going to fill the hole in the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years that were left by the two year delay. Thats 33 million for mta that was delayed two years. Im not saying were going to figure out a way through that entire 33 million, but we have to make a good faith effort and we cant kick the can the next year. We need to figure out how were going to do that. Colleagues, i hope in our addback project, well be generous with vision zero and the mayor has to be involved. So i think over the next few weeks, this is going to be an important conversation as a board and with the mayor as well. Thank you, supervisor wiener. Any further comments . Okay. At this point, well open it up to Public Comment for 68. Anyone who wish to publicly comment on these items. Good afternoon, superviseers. My name is leah with the bicycle coalition. Thank you for the support and the mayor. As apart of the task force, we were involved in these discussions. I want to remind everyone as you have here, that there is a hole. That we all expected the gobond to move forward with the vehicle license fee. Were one of the groups thats disappointed, but it does leave a hole. We look forward to it moving in 2016. I would emphasize that points have been made by the supervisors, this is a real hole next year in our safety priorities. The mta budget assumed 13 million for bicycle and pedestrian thanks for the support from this board, vision zero, almost every agency we know from the Planning Commission to the Public Health department, have committed to vision zero. The only way well do that is if we fund vision zero. We have a 13 million hole thanks to the mayors 3 million in the proposed budget. We look to you to think creative whether its assessing gobond or Creative Solutions and we hope youll live up to that for vision zero. Thank you. Any other members of the public who wish to comment . Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is nicole. I wanted to express our strong support. Right now its going to fund a lot of different Pedestrian Safety and vision vision Traffic Safety improvements. I think theres also echoes what leah said, theres a big hole left now that the vlf has been postponed to 2016. The problem with this hole is that the longer we wait to make vision zero improvements, the more people on our streets suffering from traffic collisions. The improvements and investments now will last generations. Theres an urgency. It is not on other projects where the funded isnt needed right away. Echoing leahs comments, i encourage you to take a strong look at the different options to fund vision zero looking at the gobond and other avenues through add backs, et cetera. And id like to say were completely supportive of transit, investments and investments in multi transportation safety. So i think vision zero is about making our streets safe for everyone and preventing injuries and fatalities and we look forward to continuing to work with you and continuing to follow your leadership on this. Thank you. Thank you. Any other members of the public wish to comment . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Supervisor tang. I want to thank everyone, especially those who came out to testify. I hear you loud and clear. I want to also restate what has been presented to us from the mta. I think that 300 million out of the 500 million out of this bond is going to be funding some level of improvement that will help with Pedestrian Safety and i really although there has been a hole that has been identified or that wear aware of, i want to remind everyone that this is one of most significant investments we have seen in history. Think possibly about this. Were making investments for this bond that will help us for future generations so i want to encourage everyone in seeing it that way and support the gobond. Thank you supervisor tang. We have the amendments circulated previously. Can i have a motion to receive these. We can take them without objection. Colleagues, were going to close out todays meeting. Just a couple of House Cleaning items. Have a motion to continue 4, 5, 6 by friday. We can take that without objection.
