bicycle projects - $995,524] >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you madam clerk. i am in receipt of mail from last month that it has only $783,900. i would like to make a motion to reflect that smaller malt of $973,909. moved by supervisor breed. we'll take that without objection. please come forward. >> good morning. i'm rachel lonzo from public works. to spend the total of in grant funds from the metropolitan transportation fiscal year 15-17. earmarked 100% quarter of the total tax sales of bicycle facility and pedestrian street and road development projects. funds annually in accordance with

>>clerk: 160793 [resolution of intention - central market community benefit district - modify the management plan and engineer's report] sponsor: mayo known as the central market community benefit district. >> good morning. my name is chris, project manager with the program. today i'm presenting the resolution sponsored by mayor lee for the market community benefit district. oewd would like to offer an amendment to clarify the legislation. >> i am in receipt of those. do we have a deputy city attorney? no. we don't have a deputy city attorney. >> the question i would ask the deputy city attorney, i'm in receipt of the suggested amendments. is the removal of the district wide cap on the annual assessment revenue not substantial? it seems substantial. >> the amendment to the previous language introduced on the 12 of last week, is a syntax change, sir. i can send him a text message. >> what supervisor breed and i are seeing in red are the corrected changes, right? >> that's correct. >> removal of a wide cap is not a syntax change. >> in accordance with the ballot language change to make it clear to the property owners to when they receive their ballots. >> okay, why don't you walk us through what we are doing here. >> okay, in 2013 when the cbd renewed, there is a 3% limit of cpi increases that a cbd can take annually and also a limitation which it can collect in a given fiscal year. according to government code 53750 subsection h b 3, it allows for any parcel change due to density, intensity or nature of land use to be put into the assessment formula in the management plan and not go against the cbd's. if you have an empty lot that goes into a skyscraper. it would be charged to the assessment with the rest of the district. with the highway code is the way we need to go with that, however for a cap, if a cdbd has a change in the market since they did in 2015, they may go above the assessment level which is allowable in the highway code but not allowable due to the management plan. >> understood. >> any questions on that? >> supervisor breed. are there any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? please come forward. public speaker: good morning, supervisors, my name is david harrison. a property owner in the district and member of the board of directors. i'm here to offer my support. it allows us to equitably assess all the properties in the district. it does not change the assessment for any existing property owners who don't change their properties. so, it's fair. i believe it's consistent with the original intent of the district. so i'm in support of it. thank you. >> have we heard any objections from these folks of the land use change in the intervening years? >> no, sir, i have not heard any objections on this. >> okay, thank you. all right. we will close public comment. madam president, if you would like to offer these amendments, we can take them. >> so moved. >> moved by president breed. why don't we take those amendments. then send the item as amended to the full board with a recommendation as a committee report for full recommendation for july 26th. >> so moved. >> without objection, that will be the order. supervisor campos is not with us yet. so mr. krugs don't go away. item 5. >>clerk: 160556 [yerba buena community benefit district - annual report to the city - fy2014-2015] sponsor: kim >> the floor is yours. >> thank you, supervisor. >> you have your beautiful powerpoint right here. >> thank you very much. ms. moiven is running late. >> all right, why don't you call item no. 6. >>clerk: 160753 [civic center community benefit district - annual report to the city - fy2014-2015] sponsors: kim; breed >> we've got your beautiful powerpoint for this one too. all right. >> civic center cbd is located in downtown san francisco. it assesses 289 parcels. it's a property based district that has an initial assessment budget of $691,964. it will expire june 30, 2021. the program areas for the civic center are safety programs, and community service ambassadors which you can see outside at the civic center plaza, at the garage as well as the evening. a cleaning program which is allocated for street cleaning and on call graffiti. beautification which is a street clean up program. and we have don with the programmatic achievements. >> oebd follows the bench review marks for the service categories within 10 points from the management plan. whether 1 percent of cbd's came from sources other than assessing the revenue and the budget amount for each category 10 percentage points from actuals and the amount of funds carried over from the current fiscal year and the projects spent for the upcoming fiscal year. >> for the first benchmark cbd met that goal, this requirement. for the second benchmark came from their revenue and the cbd met this requirement as well. the third requirement compared their budget versus the actuals with the 10% of the management plan and the cdb met those requirements. on this one, the cdb did not meet this requirement because it did not include it in the report. however in 2013 and 2014 annual report. currently based off our review, the cbd is ahead of their spend down timeline from last year. findings, the cdb met all the requirements except to the management agreement with the city and state code. they should include their spend down plan in the future annual reports. we'll work with them to ensure that is made more clear. they have made significant progress in the carry over from last year. in conclusion, they performed well in their service plan and included public activation events and stakeholders with the new implementation of the project in 14-15. you will start to see the fruition outside with the summer concert series and made active the board of directors and subcommittees. if you have no questions on the benchmark, don will present the programmatic on the cdb. >> good morning, chair peskin and president breed. i'm here to go over the fy 16, it's hard to go back in my mine, but we will go over it. let's see. it's my part. there we go. sorry. i seem to be at the end of his presentation. >> it's all good. the committees that we have included are our executive committee, finance committee, services committee, capital improvements and planning committee external affairs and this is important for the arts groups in the area. we have worked with the service provider and working with the task force, oewd, programs that have started m the this neighborhood. we developed a close relationship with the department of recreation and parks, the arts, and travel. the grant referred to was the neighborhood grant we got for the epicenter web portal that is feeding information on all the areas which is the tenderloin and the central market. we have transitioned into a program that central market is now managing. the neighborhood is obviously in transition. we expect in the next 5 years to have several new thousands of residents. the playground at the civil center plaza is being redone with a grant from ptl. the school announced they are putting a ballot for the bond measure to help with the arts. the transit is any day now as i have been told. and the civic center plan which is a plan for van ness and market. we decided with our plan that we had extra money to attend the program that we have a permanent program. last summer, we e did as an experiment to the elevator in the plaza which is the entrance to the parking garage to be very scary at night for patrons and people. we put a uniformed ambassador and found that to be extremely popular. we did that for 2 months last summer and now included it a part of our work plan and now the recreation and parks department is seeing a benefit to their patrons as well. this is what i find quite interesting. in the last year, we helped get medical attention for 190 people, assisted 80 people with disorderly complaints, removed 728 needles and garbage to whole mattresses and gave out directions to visitors 1600 times. here is an example of graffiti where they are trying to figure out where that is which is actually the opera house. we also clean anything in the public realm which includes bus stations. the partnership to establish has been very beneficial us. we have the art groups coming together which they said it's something that couldn't be done to bring them altogether. but when we talked about important projects, that was important. the patron experience with the parking garage. they are working on the street. also includes traffic congestion and safety where on a thursday night at the corner of grove and franklin, you can see how bad it can get with the traffic. we are trying to work to maybe get signal lights and crosswalks that are safer and try to make the pedestrian experience more safe because you have the vision zero initiative as well. one thing that we've been very successful for because the seed to start in this program was in supervisor breed's district. we worked with them to get involved as the living alley for the department of planning. we have a community challenge grant again for them for $200,000 for district lighting and district improvements for that alley. we continue to give out awards for people that helped us. it's the day connect program. and holidays we had 6 in this 2015, and we expanded it to 2016 to have 19 concerts over the holidays. we have summer concerts just out of this fiscal year we just started in july in the civic center plaza and started again this month. we do have some challenges still. the bill graham civic continues to be a problem. this is what was finished before. we also have a problem with the drought impacts and cleaning and regular schedule of that. the challenge is perception of safety when you are walking through the plaza at night on the way home from the ballet that you feel overwhelmed, that's what we are working on. the beautification project we are having a challenge. we can't do anything on van ness because of what'sen it and working on the rest of the plaza and those streets. we are waiting to see how that plan shakes out and market street plan is also evolving. we are kind of in odd little window of time which is why we planned for the project on ivy street. which is available to us. the opportunity is coming with the public realm to help get public input into that process. i want to thank you for your time. >> thank you, don. i appreciate your work. it seems like things are going quite well through your first 10-year period. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> mr. core gus, any final words on this item? >> no, sir. >> okay, why don't we send this resolution to the full board with recommendation. that will be the order. and supervisor campos has joined us for item no. 2. mr. korg us. if you can stay for that item. >>clerk: 160422 [fire, housing, building codes - fire safety requirements for existing buildings >> supervisor campos, good morning. >>supervisor david campos: good morning, mr. chair and president breed. i understand that i will be subbing part of the meeting for supervisor yee. >> welcome to the committee. that means the president has given you a vote? >> yes. >> okay. >>supervisor david campos: thank you, again, colleagues. i want to begin by thanking my incredible staff, carolyn gussen who has been relentless in doing the work on the issue of fires. we have seen too many fires in this city and too many fires in the mission community. over the past few years, hundreds of mission residents have been displaced because of fires. sadly three people have tragically died in those fires. in 2015, alone, 130 people were displaced by fires in the mission. in 2016, we have seen dozens more displaced by fires including 50 people who were displaced last week because of the fire that happened on 29th street. when low income residents are displaced the result is that they are not only displaced from their home and neighborhood, but sadly from san francisco altogether because they can not afford to live in the city. the latest fire on 29th street is only the latest in a string of fires that have led to a temporary and often permanent displacement of our tennants. the legislation before you comes from actually months more than a year of work. in response to the number of fires that we had seen, more than a year ago, we created legislation that put together a task force that was basically asked how do we address the number of fires that are taking place in this neighborhood? please examine all of the options that are available to this city to prevent these fires. with the task force that consisted of the three departments that are responsible for fire safety in san francisco, the san francisco fire department, the department of building inspection, the health departments. it actually included san francisco agencies like the san francisco public utilities commission to have a robust discussion. the legislation you see are the first set of recommendations from that task force, the things they prioritized where they felt they needed action from us as soon as possible. before i get into the specification of the legislation, i want to talk about the issue of sprinklers because that's another issue we put before this task force. in fact we had a hearing about the task force and about what they thought about that issue. if you look at the task force report, they say it sounds like a great idea, but we need more information. with that in mind, this coming tuesday i will be formally requested that the budget and legislative analyst and i see the amazing staff, ms. campbell here from that office, that they conduct and do a report that outlines the issue of sprinklers for the city that addresses the questions that were raised by the task force. this is a complex issue with potential for unintended consequences. so we want to know a lot more data. we will ask the budget and legislative analyst to layout all the facts to offer options for the city to look at best practices in other parts of the country and how we might actually implement sprinklers here in san francisco including whether or not it made sense to do a pilot and if we do a pilot, what the focus of that pilot should be. should it be for example on the most vulnerable wood frame buildings, should it focus on rent control buildings? what are the options? i'm asking to explore also the cost of this and how we can incentivize landlords to comply with this law since we know that sprinklers are costly. we also know and this was another issue discussed by the task force that there is a fear by tennants that the installation of sprinklers can be used as a tool to evict people because of the cost and repairs. we want to be careful how we address that but at the same time we want to move expeditiously. at the same time, i'm calling on the fire department and department of building inspection and any other workgroup that includes tennants, boards, contracts and anyone that has anything to say and bring some recommendations to the board of supervisors. we found with the fire at gray wood, sprinklers were very effective in keeping the fire from spreading to that hotel. we know that they work. now we need to figure out how to make it work in san francisco. the legislation that's before you today, again comes out of the work of this task force. these are the specific things that it does. one, it requires that owners have common area of fire alarm systems that are inspected and tested every year. and that they provide proof of that to the fire department that they in fact have done that. it also requires the fire department to maintain a website where tennants can look up their building to see whether their landlord hassen insured the fire alarm is in order. what we hear is we need to know more about our own building and code compliance for where we live. the second piece is that this legislation require a new higher standard for the alarm systems to ensure that people can hear the alarm. that's one of the many things we heard directly from some of the fire victims that they are in their unit and they did not hear the alarm go off. the standard that is included here in this legislation is so-called pillow test for audibility. it has to be loud enough so it wakes you up if you are actually sleeping. the third item is to prevent the spread of fire from one attic to another. the legislation is requiring to install fire blocks installation and open accessible attics. the idea is to keep the fire from spreading from one building to another. the idea that when a fire occurs, the tennants are displaced and requires the landlord, this is important. the landlord is required to detail an action plan within 72 hours and within 30 days it is also required this plan be accessible to tennants. the information required if this plan is the time and schedule of repairs. the estimated date of reoccupation by tennants and also when tennants can get their belongings. what i have seen after the fire is really heartbreaking because there isn't a lot of information that is given to the tennants by the landlord. one thing that i would add to that, something that we need to explore is adding more resources on the city side. because right now we have one individual at hsa who has the responsibility of dealing with this, amazing as this 1 person is, it's not sufficient. finally requiring to have english and spanish information to renters and the landlord responsibility to repair smoke alarms when they have been broken. we also would like, and i actually have here a set of amendments that i want to hand out to my colleagues. >> this set of amendments are as follows. these came out of discussions with tennants groups. one key amendment is that dbi must inspect buildings where a fire occurred every 90 days. this will ensure the city is maintaining oversight of buildings. the perfect example and you can't make this up is the 22 and mission building where there actually a number of fires following the initial fire. making sure that dbi go out and regularly inspect the buildings is critical. and the second the department will be inspecting compliance and i know the fire department and the department of building inspection have worked this out and when landlord are meeting these requirements they are posting information in the common area of the building. i want to thank my cosponsors of this legislation, supervisor kim, tang, breed, supervisor wiener. i want to thank the many people who worked with my office on this legislation and in particular deanna flores and the entire incredible team. tommy and his incredible team on the housing rights committee, and the san francisco apartment association. rosemary, vazquez and dbi by the way, played a really incredible role. we couldn't have done it without him. i want to thank chief white and olivia at the fire department. thank you for your involvement in this effort. and thank you to city attorney, judy, francesca for all the hours that went into drafting this legislation. sorry for the long presentation. colleagues, thank you for your consideration. i do want to thank my other colleagues, president breed, supervisor wiener and others have also done work with supervisor kim as well on fires. this is a very important issue to all of us board of supervisors. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you for your work and the city family for it's collective work on this item. do you want anybody from any of the departments to present, supervisor campos? >> unless they want to, i think i'm okay. >> would anybody from any of the departments like to present, if not, why don't we open up for public comment. >>supervisor london breed: i wanted to thank supervisor campos for his thoughtful piece of legislation. we know that unfortunately tragedy has struck in regards to fires throughout san francisco specifically in my district we've had a number of fires where the majority of those individuals have basically left the city because they couldn't afford to find, they couldn't find another place they could actually afford to rent. that is definitely devastating. i think the combination of this legislation as well as our victim assistance fund and allowing for more people to qualify for that fund for rental assistance, are things that can be used as tools to help in this effort, but what's great about this legislation more so is the fact that this is prevention. this is going to help us put the tools in place that can make sure when residents the safety of our residents who aren't certain about the condition of their building, their safety is protected and there are ways to understand, you know, if property owners are in compliance. i think that making sure that we prevent these fires from happening through the right tool is what's going to help us you know prevent these fires from happening in the first place. and also protect members of the public, and, so i'm really happy we are taking things a step further. there are definitely questionable fires that have happened in my district and i'm really concerned. but also i appreciate the fact that we have increased the number of arson investigators at the san francisco fire department, and i do want to ask a question to the author as well as possibly the budget and legislative analyst, the city attorney because i want to make sure that funding is not the excuse as to why we can't implement this legislation, and i know that for example dbi has specific requirements i was wondering if it were possible especially because dbi has from my understanding a large budget, a surplus budget, and there will be cost associated with this implementation of this legislation both for dbi which i'm sure they can cover the cost, but the question i guess i have is the fire department and my concerns about the fire department's ability and based on the requirements of this legislation, is it possible that dbi could cover the expenses of what's necessary for the fire department to spend to make sure we can develop the right system for tracking, we can do the right investigation on these properties to make sure people are in compliance. i wanted to make sure that funding was not an obstacle to getting this implementation implemented properly. >> campbell from the budget analyst office. we did look at this in our report. the fire department estimated for 16-17 cost for four positions cost $670,000. these cost were already in the budget order with dbi. dbi has $52,000 in their budget. >> dbi ordered this? >> that's great. perfect. there we go. never mind. it looks like we are good to go. again, supervisor campos, thank you for your leadership. this is really great legislation, and i look forward to seeing it implemented and making sure and hopefully we can see the results by the decrease in the number of fires we have in our city. thank you again. >>supervisor aaron peskin: why don't we open this up for public comment. i have a number of speaker cards. please come up to testify. public speaker: good morning. it seems like this is definitely on the mind of san franciscans and evidence in the news that this is a real issue. my name is deanna flores, the organizer for casa husta. to provide the return for the right of return that exist there and being able to be established we see that there is other loopholes in being able to ensure this is exercised. the recommendations that are included in this ordinance really address the ability for us to apply pressure continuously by different agencies to consistently collaborate with each other, and maintain the tennants hope alive to be able to return to the city that they have been long-term tennants and contributors of. we want to continue to avoid temporary displacement to become permanent displacements. we encourage you for passing this ordinance. >> thank you for your work. next speaker, please. public speaker: [ spanish speaker ] >> >> >> good morning, interpreter. my name is liliana, i was displaced by this fire. i want to share with you what's going on with me and especially here to talk about my daughters. we are living in a home that cost twice as much as the one we lived in and on a daily basis my daughters ask me when are we going back to our home. i really can't tell them anything because basically that's not a possibility. >> so i'm here in full support of this legislation because it will do two things: one, it will force the owner to get a move on basically telling us what's the timeline for our return to our house. thank you. >> sorry for what you have experienced. thank you for your translation services. >> next speaker, please. public speaker: greetings, my name is brian with causes and just cause. that makes me a part of the sro collaborative. i have been previously working with several tennants at the gray wood hotel who have been historically exploited at their hotel already. i do want to give a big shout out of appreciation to dbi for staying on top of that building over the last several months. the tennants at the gray wood, there are already various people. one in particular, ms. nancy lopez, a senior citizen, 85 years old, makes about $600 a month, lost everything due to water damage in her unit. the landlord in the building snots being very cooperative right now. he's trying to wash his hands of the situation. isn't communicating properly with the tennants. and this legislation is going to be entirely beneficial for the tennants. i really commend the supervisor campos for introducing it. the piece about the landlord's accountability in this is going to be critical, and also to the next step to be able to get relocation payments for fire displaced people. there is something to think about moving forward for on going legislation, things that might come up later on. i'm going to stop there. thank you very much for your work. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: hello, my name is yadira sanchez with just cause. i'm here also on the fire ordinance. it will improve and ensure consistent maintenance of fire safety systems. an is a tenant counselor the owner is responsible for maintaining the systems in an operable condition at all times. often long-term tennants are living in the most neglected buildings. the city and agencies need to make sure to enforce this legislation so the landlord can comply with the laws so folks can return. families have lot everything due to these fires. what are we going to do in order to prevent another family in san francisco from losing their homes because of negligence. thank you. will >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you. next speaker, please. public speaker: hi, my name is gabriela, a resident in the district and my parents own a business in the district. i'm in support of the legislation because it really emphasizes that safety should be a standard, not a question. i think after all these fires they don't only affect the families, but the communities and safety as well. i want to commend the element where language is an issue. language should never be a barrier to understanding your basic rights. i would also like to commend everyone behind the legislation and make this a standard. i appreciate it. thank you. >>supervisor aaron peskin: next speaker, please. public speaker: hi, my name is alicia sandoval, a district organizer of rights committee. also born and raised in the mission district. i'm fully in support of the legislature. as a counsel or many tennants coming into our office. many questions are where am i going to be able to go back and why isn't the landlord not discussing this. they have a right to return under rent control, but again they write three letters, two letters and no communication from the landlord at all. and this is unacceptable. i feel there needs to be something in place when tennants, fire victims are coming to us asking us where can i go? we did help a couple, a senior couple to get some emergency housing for a few weeks, but there is other tennants that are coming to us, fire victims telling us, i'm sleeping in the car for a month, i'm sleeping in the floor, i'm couch surfing. that's what they are telling us. we don't know what to tell them. there ought to be emergency housing. we are organizing tennants and we are visiting them at their buildings and we are seeing there is no fire alarms that are working. some rooms don't even have fire alarms. this legislation is very crucial. there are so many victims who have been displaced. it's not fair. we have to act as a community, as a native from this community, i really feel, this is our familia. we are treating our familia, we really need to treat them with respect. thank you. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you, next speaker, please.. public speaker: hello, i'm lucas from casa for just cause with the san francisco clinic. i'm here to support this legislation as well. mostly because this legislation really gives us the tools as counsel ors to go through the road blocks we see again and again. we see consistently how folks are left in limbo, not only dealing with the hardship of going through a fire but also with obstacles that limit their return home. there are systems that need to be in key to show them to be able to go back. i think her testimony speaks to that. we see families and elders on a fixed income that are long-term tennants. they are being displaced again. not being able to stay there, right? so the lack of affordable housing means that these displaced families are no longer here in san francisco. they stop by our offices years later after a fire from all around the bay asking what's going on with my building, what's going on with my repairs, what's happening. they leave the city, they leave the communities and the services they had here and their homes. while we try to make information accessible to the tennants, there are delays in the system that lacks communication. tennants should be be unsure of what decisions to make in their lives for their families well being. this legislation will force landlord communication and offer clear timeline so they know what's happening and they can plan their lives accordingly. i'm fully in support of this legislation and will help keep folks in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. public speaker: good morning, supervisors, my name is charlie goz from the san francisco housing association. we would also like to speak in support of the legislation. we would like to thank supervisor campos for this issue. this legislation is a result of a process that should bear legislation. the city recognizes the problem with fire safety and multifamily buildings. they can bring the task force with all stakeholders with the city departments and this is the result of that legislation. the legislation does a lot for improving physical fire safety and also improving communication between the tenant and landlord after fire. we feel it's important and will make tennants feel better after their building has burned. right now we are working with 87th and dolores that happened 5 years ago. it seems to be helping. we are very much in support of this ordinance. we would like to request one amendment and we apologize after this task force. but the legislation has a trigger for if you pull a permit of $50,000 or more to install a fire safety block, we would like to ask for an exemption for mandatory seismic retrofit work. those are between $150-200,000. if you are pulling a mandatory seismic work that you do not demand that fire block. it makes sense not to volunteer that program. thank you and we would like to have you move this forward today. thank you. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. by the way, while i have dbi sitting in the audience, there is something i have been meaning to raise with you, which is at 585 columbus avenue 1636, through 1642 there was a fire a number of years ago in 2014, all of those units remain vacant to this day and i would love to be able to see those tennants return to that building. anything you can do with my office to help ensure that would be very much appreciated. with that, supervisor campos, do you have any additional amendments? >>supervisor david campos: thank you, mr. chairman. again i want to thank all the departments for coming out for this. i want to thank my colleagues for this support and more importantly i want to thank all the members of the community that have been coming to city hall for the last couple of years to talk about fires including victims of fires that have shared their stories. thank you. i know that's not an easy thing to do. i have circulated the amendments that i hope this committee adopts prior to sending this out to the board. my understanding is that the department association has requested an additional amendment. we have discussed that request with all of the different stakeholders and i think we are all in agreement that we can live with that amendment. so, given that the city attorney is not here, maybe my suggestion would be that we adopt the amendments that i have circulated, and we will be requesting that the city attorney draft the language for the amendment that the department association has requested and we e will introduce that when the item comes to the full board. that will be my suggestion for moving forward. >> so with that supervisor, why don't we take the item that you have introduced today that does have some amendments in it. take those amendments and then send the item to the full board with recommendation as amended as a committee report and i would like to add my name as a cosponsor. can we do that without objection? that will be the order. so that will be heard this coming tuesday, the 26th. i believe we have already called item no. 5. mr. korg us, welcome back. >> thank you, supervisors, glad to be back. today we have the yerba buena community benefit district annual report. as you know community benefit districts are governed by two laws in san francisco, article 4 act and tax regulations code. this resolution covers the annual report for 2014-2016. yerba buena cbd is located in downtown san francisco approximately 2001 parcels. it has an assessment budgets of $2,509.21. it was renund on june 30, 2015, for a 15-year period. congratulations. the executive director is kathy moven who will be here today to talk about the programmatic achievements. the beautification in order and improvements as well as administration and corporate operations. reviewed four bench marks for the cbd. the first benchmark subjected their annual budget. the cdb met their requirements and the checkmark versus revenue and other income. the cbd general requirement is around 5%. they succeeded with that with 6.35%. the budget for actuals, all various opponents were within 10%. they met this requirement and they did include a carry over and indicated how it was going to be spent. they met this requirement as well. in conclusion, yerba buena krbd was placed they completed the process in support of renewal. >> is that 84% the weighted? >> yes, sir. they marketed neighborhood events such as yerba buena fair. they included the community stakeholders and municipal agencies and continue to maintain an active board of directors and several committees. if there are no questions of me, ms. moss is here to present. >> thank you for the to present today. the my name is kathy moss, the director of cbd. the organization was approved by property owners in 2008 and i came on in 2009. so you can either blame me for everything or otherwise. but i just want to give you a little bit of background about the organization today. our boundaries through the renewal process changed slightly. we added a little bit and we removed a little bit based on input and feedback from the community. we are a large district with over 2100 property owners and cover about 172 acres. recently we were the largest geographic cdb district in san francisco. since 2008, our services have been really focused around clean and safe activities in the neighborhood. we have our clean team, community guides and work in partnership >> so we launched this branding campaign. one of our early wins was to get mta to rename at folsom to rename from just the masconi station. we are seeing it used more and more in the neighborhoods in san francisco and starting to see neighborhood calling itself the yerba buena neighborhood. we want to make sure that people know what's there so they will come down to support the institutions and businesses that are there. we also bring people together. our big annual is yerba buena night. it's usually on the saturday in october every year. it's this onslaught of music, dance performance art for people to come and experience. the things that you wouldn't be able to experience otherwise. the event has grown gradually. it continues the grow. in 2016 it will be our sixth year. we constantly hear from people that want to come back. that's one of our goals. quickly another one of ours which is really important is we established the community benefit funds. we actually give away about $175,000 a year to organizations to focus on community engagement, public art. we gave grants out. we gave a grant to renaissance entrepreneurship for lighting because they have a lot of evening classes. we wanted to support that. we support temporary art. we have a long list of grantees that we have given funds to support the areas. the details, our budget of $3.3, we spent $2.6. i'm kind of frugal. those are the percentages that you can see from our budget. moving forward, from 2014-2015. in our renewal effort people wanted us to double down on cleaning and safety. we couldn't literally afford to do that. we added two more cleaning guys. we have custom design bike racks in our neighborhood that each 30 have a different artistic insert if you will to play the artistic bent of the neighborhood. we will install another 90 this year. we are doing this graphic crosswalk. we just approved the artist. we are approving another artist. we are doing this bought of the art. we want to do high visibility crosswalks because pedestrian issues is a big in our neighborhood. they want to figure out how to make it safe for all modes of transit. we are in that eir will be some study about turning howard and folsom into two streets. we want to wait for that before ween vest any money in this process. if that's true, it will have a big impact. that's a huge issue for us. in marketing you see we have our event coming up october 15th of this year. i will tell you, it's a ton of work to pull off, and the minute the first act goes up, it becomes magic and i forget all the months of the sweat and the pain if you will. i encourage you to check that out. we are going to be resdeening our website because everything changes and we need to add. then we are doing a lot in the neighborhood, and we got authorized to at a four staff member. we are currently staffed at 3. we'll put out and announcement for that position. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you for the years of work. you look like the flagship cbd, any other questions from members? thank you very much. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.. without objection, supervisor campos we will send this recommendation to the full board without objection. one more. madam clerk, please read item no. 7. >>clerk: 160754 [north of market/tenderloin community benefit district - annual reports to the city - fys 2013-2014 and 2014-2015] sponsor: kim >> thank you, supervisors. this is the fiscal year 13-14 and fiscal year 14-15 in the market tenderloin report. it's located in the san francisco tenderloin neighborhood and the property based cbd. it's initial assessment budget is $981,487. established in 2005. expires in 2020. with me is deputy director steve gibson joined in 2016 and prior to that susan mcginnis. the director as well. we have district identity improvements and management operations. ohewd checks for bench marks and the annual plan to meet the budget. they met the requirements for fiscal year 13-14. the fiscal year the cdb met this requirement, however the 2014-2015, the tenderloin did not meet the requirements. we are working with them to work on this in the future years. he'll be speaking about this as well. >> what was that due to? >> it was due to a serious transition. the board replaced about 75-80% of their members due to term limits and the director was influx. >> prior to that, did they have a long term executive director. >> in 2011-2012, based on my understanding of the program they did. based off what i was told prior, that changes in 2014, and they have had a few executive directors. >> mr. gibner is interim at this point? >> yes, his contract last until july 2017. for benchmark 3 which is their budget versus the can -- actual, they met the requirements for 18%. for the carry over, the cdb did not meet the benchmark for 2013-2014. they did not have a carry over. but that still should have been indicated in the annual report. they also, their cdb did not indicate their carry forward for 2013-2014, but it did in the final review. we'll work with them an all the the other cdb to clarify this. >> that seems to be a problem across all cbd's. >> that's going out in the e-mail. >> great. >> for the tenderloin, they need to comply with state bid law by including the carry over fund from previous fiscal years. in the annual budget they did not comply with the past 5 years. they did not meet this requirement with the oebd. we'll ensure they meet this requirement and i'm happy to report they have made progress with the report for 15-16 and made progress since their last report in 2012-2013 in identifying errors and specifically not spending within a fiscal year. in conclusion, they have submitted their plans for the district and improved in management issues. oew believes the new board of directors and the interim director are executing steps to rectify previous issues and improve the organizations overall capacity. if there are no questions of me, mr. gibner is here to present as well. >> all right. let's hear from mr. gibner. >> thank you for allowing me to present this morning. as chris said, the interim executive director. i will be here through june 30, 2017. >> mr. gibner, given the sound like the whole scale change of board members apparently due to term limits within the board and the instability that created both at the board level and staff level. it sounds like you are on a relatively term contract. is there a reason why the word "interim" remains? >> yeah. first of all we are a consulting firm. we were brought in and we began working in july of 2015 to really help the new board that had replaced the board deal with some of the serious issues in the management of the tenderloin cbd and the board relationships and a number of issues and a number of business improvements with cbd throughout the country in these issues. >> what consulting group is that? >> urban place consulting group. >> are there other clients as well? >> we have other clients, the firm does. i'm up here with the majority of my time now. i have an apartment now and i'm part of the community. i also live in long beach, california. i have a dual personality, my personal focus is on this project. >> how many staff do you have in the north of market tenderloin cbd? >> all of the stand is urban placed staff. i have three of my staff that put part of their time into this project and we have one other full time person that's now working in the tenderloin in the project. >> who is the president of the board and how many board members are there? >> currently there are 13 board members. julie with development is the chairman of the board. we actually at our last board meeting which was this monday expanded the board from 13 to 15. the reason we chose to expand the board is we had a really strong support and strong member of potential board members that came out of the community that wanted to be on the board that playing a significant role. it is a new board at 75%. it's a major turn around to the tenderloin to the community based organization. >> could you at your convenience furnish my office with the list of new board members? >> sure. >> you might be interested in the cbd plan that led to us being management and led to the changes going forward. >> i would like to see that as well. please proceed. >> thank you for the question. you have the map of the area. basically it has been since the beginning of the cbd, the majority of our money, about 80% of the assessment dollars goes to cleaning of the tenderloin. it's been that way from the beginning and still is, and we do the normal things, pressure cleaning, sidewalk sweeping, graffiti, picking up needles, all of those. you can see the numbers. over 2700 graffiti tags in a 2-year period. we are talking about. a lot of liter pick up. we get very involved with it picking them up. also part of our agreement with san francisco city equipment we bought in 2013. one of the things that we are really proud of going forward we are trying to figure out how we can do it even more effective is providing jobs for people that come off the street in the tenderloin, and helping to provide them a way up, and one of the ways we do it is through our subcontractor that hires mostly from the tenderloin and people that are difficult to place in jobs. we give them their first job on their step back up. we have two standing committees. they are looking at cleaning services and other issues, project way, cleaning projects, anderson the other identity streetscape improvements. they are open to members of the community. we have somewhere between 10-15 active members on each committee. most of which are not board members. it's a way for the community to be involved in our projects. they did a number of projects in these two periods, banner program, community survey, what are the needs, what would you like us to do. more engagement programs and involved in the prototyping zones on market. created a new website, a new identity, a new planning project. the summary of the core accomplishments are similar to most of the cbd's and dib in san francisco. it's all the cleaning and basic things like picking up needles and basic time things. so, looking ahead, one of the things i'm really looking forward to is when we come back when we report on 15-16 because that will be the report that i was involved in and can personally explain it in more depth and more passionate about what we have accomplished and how we accomplished it. they did revise the bylaws and put in financial standards and did a lot of infrastructure things that needed to be done before we even got involved. projects and pipeline development and strategic plan, in this case it was, but now we are in the process of developing that strategic plan. one of the really important things that came out of it was we'll use a lot is the board created a purpose statement about why they are in business, and the statement "to lead the area of tenderloin for all". that is what we do it in the tenderloin which is for all the people. we talked about expanding the board and looking forward to, we have a number of projects that we are currently working on. our street lighting project which has been a little bit in the news. the project camera program that we are implementing in the district recently. a new banner program that we are in the process of designing. it will be up sometime this year. we have a number of things going forward. as what chris pointed out for the benefit other than the assessment money, we are well over the 5% by a lot. in the 2-year period, since we've been here, we now raised over $500,000 of new money invested by foundations and corporations into the the tenderloin cbn to help with our capacity and to help move us in the right direction. >> mr. gibson is that an argument to say that if you were to average out that 5% over a 3-year period you would hit 15%? >> yeah. if you went backwards we would more than cover the deficiency we have. we have already raised enough in july to cover the year 15-17 going forward in that area. again, thank you for your time and we are excited about being here to work with the tenderloin cbn. and we look forward to making the next report and showing you all the milestones and things we have accomplished. >> thank you, mr. gibson. i appreciate your presentation. first, are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item no. 7. seeing none, we will close public comment. mr. koergz, is this the last of the reports. >> it's the last report for 13-14. the tourism report, we are waiting for one final report. we have the controllers office assist us with that. >> i'm just referring to the fact that in so far as this is the 2013-2014 and the 2014-2015, the 2013-2014, should have been heard last year. >> correct, the tourist and improvement district will have multiples as well. then we'll be all caught up with a report and not fall into another hiatus. >> got it. i don't want it to take place in the efforts at the market for the cbd. there has been some in terms of reflecting. i don't want to point fingers at anybody because it is what it is. it also would it be fair to say that we the city kind of ab -- abrogated some of that role. >> i could not comment on that. a lot of these reports happened prior. so i don't understand the history of them, i don't know the history of them. i can look into that and get back to you on that. >> this is not just a comment on the north of market cbd. some of these hadn't done their annual report as required under the law for a number of years. it sounds like across the board you are in the process of cleaning it all up and we are almost done with a backlog and there is moreover sight and supervision and checking as in the past. the reason this is important for the government and audit committee is that as the city goes on to create more cbd's i want to make sure we have the capacity on the city side to make sure we are scrutinizing and making sure they are fulfilling the position and what all are taxing themselves for. >> absolutely. back in january when we started the annual report process that once we got fully staffed up with were able to get the annual reports moving and get them moving on time. the cbd program is currently staffed well. >> thank you for that. i look forward to getting that list of board members with the strategic plan. with that, supervisor campos, can we forward this item to the full board with a full recommendation? >> so moved. >> that will be the order. mr. city attorney. i think it's time to move to our closed session items. >> items 8-21 are various ordinances and resolutions for settlement and litigated claims with the city and county of san francisco. >> all right. we'll go into closed session. >>supervisor aaron peskin: is there any public comment on items 8-21. seeing none, public comment is closed. >>clerk: is there a motion to convene in closed session. >> there is a motion by supervisor campos to convene in closed session. ( closed session ) >> clerk >>clerk: we are now back in open session. >> continue item no. 8 to the call of the chair. to forward no.s 9, 15, 17. and to recommend items no. 18, and 21. >> there a motion to not disclose. >> yes. >> we'll take that without objection. i would like to excuse president breed. >> we will excuse president breed. we are adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> so, same time next week? well, of course. 2, 1 you innovation on or was on over 200 years they went through extensive innovations to the existing green new metal gates

we're sharing meadow for more information about the club including free lessons loghour. >> good morning, everyone and welcome to the people's palace and i'm here this morning to announce yet another milestone in our city's commitment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by and people will work this fourth of july weekend we are celebrating our countries birthday but recognizing in the celebration throughout the weekend people like the people had that are standing with me are working whether the restaurants or hotels or health care workers and others and and we all feel for working people that is hard in our expensive city to survive unless you have a december sent wage that's why a couple of years ago i destined or joibd the board of supervisors full board of supervisors to place before the voters an $15 an hour minimum wage and people that work in all those industries we did it together and we're celebrating because today it goes from $12.25 an hour to $13 and up to 15 and after that cpi takes over i want to remind everybody this city was brought together with our labor unions and your working families made up of all the exit are represents our city and got this done in a strong collaboration with everyone and showed not only the cities around the bay area but the state of california if we got together and thought about people's lives what glosses the challenges every day we can get this done for them i think we're happy here to see the wages go up are rehappy yeah, we'll have more to celebrate in addition to, of course, the bitter of our nation and things we enjoy we picked this date it is a significant move and i also want to say that we know that our workforce all those people's here they are still an affordability gap so this is going to help people he you go that suggest that a lot of people are working two jobs to support their families we want to celebrate those moms we're all ushth together to help them but for also myself and mayor libby schaaf of oakland that recognizes our workforce is more regional than ever do more than benefit the residents that work in our city and so we joined. >> today and cities that are committed along with cities like new york and seattle and los angeles and portland and the others also raised their minimum wage we want to the state of california to do the same thing because what could happen i think all the labor advocates know and people that we raised our minimum wage just and ourselves in the city of san francisco or just in oakland we would probably be golden state talent that belongs to where everybody lives and not as affordable to them as it is to those we're helping so mayor libby schaaf and along with the united health care workers started a process and emigrate hundreds of thousands of snatches set the minimum wage higher of $15 an hour tour the state of california in uniting all the cities with the labor unions and workforces and people good minded across the region we got the governors attendance and the state of california attendance such that a few months ago governor jerry brown signed the legislation to raise the states entire minimum wage for everyone for $15 an hour over a period of time those movements wouldn't happen unless we place the needs of working-class families that work hard to build that consensus i'm here to join in the celebration and here to say that i'm going to be working this weekend as well as in addition the celebrating but also acknowledge the people that always serve us at the hotels and restaurants and people that are working the janitorial and building maintenance and all working class in the city we're there to be of help this will be consistent raising the minimum wage to attack affordability challenges is part of solution paid parental leave is part of the solution making sure that we work so that no one is a theft of their wages that's why your head of the department the labor enforcement is joining us with the advocates of people that earn those wages i'm saying they earn every single penny they deserve to make sure they get it in their hands that's why we announce these and make sure that everybody is prepared adequately ahead of time to make sure those wages are paid and wage theft we have to make sure that our workforce that speaks many languages don't get capture and been take advantage of this is how we really in city year ago we have a benefit and make sure that everybody obtains that benefit i want to say at that moment i'm proud of the working folks in san francisco but the intensify region and proud of state of california and your legislation for working with the governor to a raise the minimum wage that adds to the celebration of the fourth of july and makes that more meaningful and then we hope that the entire nation does this as well question hear a lot of stories from a lot of places across the country that the liveability is under challenged or we're taking care of business in the city and state and let's go on the national level and support of the prosperous country to make sure they get a december sent wage wsip think we have paula to speak for her experience

good after chairman nolan and members of the board and members of the public could i want to start out by recognizing some of our employees and a couple other quick items for you. first i like to ask don ellison to come forward and recognize a long time training spreadable of ours who's decided to retire after mere 39 years of service. >> good afternoon. director nolan and fellow directors good it's my honor today to recognize a gentleman that was for this agency for over 39 years. that is paul peterson. he was a superintendent of operator training along with him is a manager of operator training kim anderson. they were together for six years and operator training but much longer within the agency. all began his career as an operator in march 1977. in 1983, he was promoted to transit supervisor in central control and then later to operations. in january 20,000 2000 he was superintendent of operator training. paul peterson's 39 years and four months in operator training is marked by core value of supporting people and their job and careers, making sure the public transportation needs are met and if you ask any of his colleagues, patience and persistence. paul success includes restarting the sfmta eight the bus radio in april and peevishly managing all bus rodeo. with this he graduated 1000 new operators in the last five years with a record 481 in 2015. training operators and also training operators who are now or past managers in the transit division. paul says his favorite position with the agency is the one he retired, now i'm a but a close second was his work as the evening shift transit supervisor for cable cars. without setting the standard for keeping service on time and working with groups and conductors on customer service. on june 22, paul was honored with a banquet attended by current as well as retired staff of sf mta and muni. i was protested up her certificate of honor from the board of supervisors and a plaque from his coworkers. paul has two children brian and christian. brian i'm his own works were with sf mta in the maintenance department good christian words with the sheriff's department of san diego. in his retirement paul plans to focus on his family-tthe grandkids >>[laughing]-his family and his two 1956 patterns with these risk conditioning. as a member of the packard club car shows on paul's future. i want to take this time to congratulate him wrapping up a great career at this sfmta a and kim apperson will speak a few words about all. >> mr. anderson. >> thanks very much. appreciate the opportunity. paul has been more than just being a great employee. he has been the person you can look up to. i mean you've got that many years on your belt in this business, you're bound to pretty much have an answer for just about everything that comes along. there isn't anything he has not seen we certainly still take advantage of this today. just because a zero tired we still outlined to his home. so we still call him. but for me personally, it is been a fantastic journey and i feel like i would not be what i am today it wasn't for his guidance. so, to paul and to his family and everyone, it does my heart good. so, he deserves more than what we could possibly give him. so thank you very much, paul >> mr. peterson come on behalf of the board of directors and the entire agency all people of the city thank you so much for your very impressive record of service for 39 years and four months. wonderful. we're very grateful to you and wish you all the best in retirement. >>[applause] >> thank you very much. good afternoon directors. i appreciate this recognition. a couple things i want to mention good one is changed and the other one is gratitude. as far as change, you can imagine after 39 years have seen a lot of change here. i started to transit operator and there was $.25. the discount there was five cents. there were still very interested i could not believe it. it was very reasonable done. i think we have one of the lowest fares back in that day. so it was pretty amazing. then-another thing about change is i want to mention that this agency has moved so far forward in all these years, it's kind of stagnant for a while. we did not get to find then suddenly we just took off. especially in the last 15 years or so it's been really really much better with many many improvements in this agent. that i've seen. i first started with 345 brand-new trolley buses, electric trolley buses, and i was told 12 of them had a radius. the rest of them did not. so, late-night run musical central control could i make it on the logic i do not endorse residential area because there was no payphones around her. when the were payphones available, they were $.10. that also tells you how long ago did we were told we be reimbursed by the $.10. so, next is gratitude. i just want to thank all the board members for this recognition. i want to thank all my coworkers from all the divisions at mta. i could i do anything by myself. all i am is a part of team. people that work here at the agency these days and all of the desert divisions are mutually hard workers. strong work ethic and good character and just amazing what i've seen in the years how hard people work these days. especially managers and supervisors and of course, the operator is out there on the front lines. i do want to recognize our training team here. they been like family to me. that's one of the things i feel bittersweet about is as and 30 i is i know it's time to go but i hate leaving these people get it you would please, stand up our management team from training. >>[applause] >>[calling names]. great people. just great work ethic. i could not get measure of success without people like this. backing me up and backing us up. we were together as a team in this agency. it's a wonderful place to work. i used to tell the new operators when they first came in, with a would introduce me they would say and how superintendent he's been here for 30-39 years. i would get in front him and told him the reason i been here so long and have not left because there's wonderful people to work with. i hated to go but

reiskin >> finally, in terms of recognition, a couple weeks ago on july 7 in union square we hold the 53rd annual cable car bellringing competition and championship. we are pleased to have a winner here today. we have a great turnout. as you know there's two different categories. there's the professional and amateur. the mature category was won by a woman named fast cut for 96.5 radio. her proceeds the proceeds from that category go to the charity of their choice of the person who won. she had a actually an amazing performance but a whole bunch of cows. it was really wonderful. but we also want to recognize the professional winner good one thing of note with this years, edition, we have the first ever female entrant as a participant because sandra griffin. we were really happy to see her there while she didn't win or place we're hoping to see her and others follow in years to come. but we did want to recognize that the winner. third place went to johnny whitaker a previous winner. second place went to last year's champion and previous winner byron cobb. but we are here today to recognize the first-place winner, who is now i think a four-time worm 85 time champion , and we have for him i think he brought it here himself but we cut out very large trophy but also his own cable cartel. so please join me in congratulating leonard oakes. >>[applause] >> we have a bell here in case you might be able to entice them to giving us a little- >>[applause] >> congratulations. wonderful. >> thank you. think you very much. thank you very much. >>[bell ringing] >> >>[applause] >> more difficult job of carrying that back. the event is meant to celebrate the cable cars but also the extraordinarily scale of the folks who operate and maintain the cable cars system and is i think you know, it takes a lot of physical strength and agility . it takes great customer service skills. it's a very challenging job and to be able to do all that and master bellringing is spectacular. so we look forward to seeing everyone at the 54th annual next year where leonard will be accepting his championship. two other quick items. today, at the downstairs at 2 pm with the board of supervisors meeting and under very large agenda are essentially, all the budget related items for the next two years including our budget and every other city agencies budget. as well as large slew of potential ballot initiatives, and i think today is our first opportunity to vote on both budget and ballot initiative. i think it's necessarily their last so that may or may were may not votes today. our budget is with the rest of the city's budget and we hope will be approved if not today, soon thereafter. the other two ballot initiatives that i've mentioned to you previously are still, are alive and at the full board. one of them would change the appointment process to this very board. that would give the board of supervisors 83 of the seven appointments. all which are currently in the mayor. it would also change the thresholds required by the board of supervisors to eject an mta budget which is currently requires seven members of the board of supervisors. witching that requirement 26. so, that is of the board today. as well as charter amendment that we worked on with the transportation authority, with the mayor's office with numerous stakeholders including the transportation justice coalition. that would provide for dedicated funding for transportation and homeless services. about $100 million a year for transportation and 50 million for homeless service. these manager plan on the hundred and million as i share with you before, was based initially on the recommendations from ayers 2030 transportation task force which recommended just this kind of measure. also, it was a justified modified with input from the transportation justice coalition provided for some regional funds such as for parked cars and cal train electrification. also for muni service affordability inequity funding so for example we can ensure the continuation of our free and reduced they are programs that we could fully fund muni equity strategy and protect against service cuts in the event of an economic downturn. so there was a great process to get to what seemed to be a consensus measure. there was also in front of the board three quarters cent sales tax which would generate incidentally about $150 million a year. which could provide a funding source for that charter amendment. alternatively, there is also a have sent sales tax dedicated to transportation following largely the same expenditure plan that is before the board as well. so, just want to remind you that is where things are in terms of how the votes will turn out it is anyone's guess, but the first opportunity to vote on those is a full board will be today at 2 pm. two other quick things. in terms of vision zero, and will be endeavoring to bring new vision zero updates at the board meeting get just a brief one today. education efforts will soon kick off a conference of vision zero safety media campaign. beginning with the radio campaign starting in early august, in time to coincide with back to school, which for san francisco public schools is august 15. the ads will run on drivetime radio, focusing on increasing the public understanding of traffic safety in the city, focus on increasing the knowledge and belief that it doesn't have to be this way. working to build support for actions both personal action that we can take. also, systemic changes to create safer streets in the subjecthe idea with the vision 01 odds is accepting people get hurt and die on our street. so, changing kind of reinforce it doesn't have to be this way. this things we can do individually and as that agency as a society to make that change. we will follow that in september with kickoff of an enticed beating campaign. we should have been campaign messages for other four campaigns every month which include vision zero, before the partition zero awareness anti--speeding and motorcycle safety, and pedestrian yielding. this whole campaign is based on a lot of research that we've done in terms of one of the issues to address and how best to communicate and engage people in understanding. so, look out for that or listen out for that. starting next month. finally, just to note, our sister agency, bart is going to be shutting doing some weekend closures between guilty city and glen park. during starting this month and running through october. these will be weekend closures and a part of a tract work that art started throughout the system earlier this year. for this section will be seven weekends. delete" begin in july and the weekend after next july 30-31 and after that the weekend before school starts august 13-14 and one on and off on select weekends through mid october. during that time, trains will be providing free express shuttle returning the stations between daly city and glen the project muni will be providing free local shuttles between the two stations as well as balboa park which is between the two. the part will have extra staff and signage at stations to assist the writers. regular caltrain service will also be available for people going to the pencil. there's alternatives and of course there's the regular muni service that serves the stations such as the verge 08-14, 49 and 54. i just went remind folks that happened you were all collaborating across the region caltrain, and bart to make sure it's painless as possible but it's great to see bart doing this important infrastructure work such as will soon be doing on the twin peaks tunnel. that concludes my report. >> thank you. members of the board, questions or comments? >> one member of the public has indicated a registered addressing the board discussed by mr. reiskin. herbert weiner. >> [inaudible] >> only on matters addressed by mr. reiskin, yes. >> so, howard strasser. i want to recognize my neighbor is your newest member. then, i want to go back to what reiskin said about this charter change which would change how your appointed. you know, if you go back to when the transit advocates wrote proposition e we could not get signatures on the streets ourselves we went to the supervisors as it would you put this on the ballot for us. david changed anything. this is a big step. i think they really know that they don't want to get involved in muni. because when they get involved in muni three, their involved you see you want to make a little improvement someplace and the neighbors come to their office and say, we can do this and can't do that. you actually by the way your appointed you protect them from undue influence and we have to make progress in transit first. our supervisors ,, unfortunately, think they will not have that push forward fast enough to make more progress. so i would hope each of you would take a moment and talk to your favorite supervisor and say, look, you don't want to do this. it's what to trip you up eat. you're going to appoint people and i don't want to stop transit first and too often supervisors .. signs up and you have to take them out good all this crazy stuff constantly happens just to clean up after the mess. so, we should tell them they don't want it. it's not good for them. or us, thank you. >> they could anyone else. to address the board on the directors report? seeing none, mdm. clerk >> item a. item 8, citizen advisory report >> good afternoon. we did good afternoon. today of the two motions to report on. first is pretty straightforward suggestion but the sales tax charter amendment which combines homelessness and transportation separated into two different but equal amendment. that's more directed towards the board of supervisors but i thought i'd share that with you as well. secondly, we are presenting a motion about which follows up on a number of motions over the past year since we been created and support of the historic and vintage fleet at the municipal railway. sf mta,, cac recommends that the mta proceed with planning and engineering work for this to work streetcar extension to fort mason. that the mta be visit ridership projections as appropriate based on recent and projected changes use of space, and non--commute events at fort mason. the increase in ridership anticipated to result from upgrade to the stork streetcars on market street. finally, the mta-cac recommends the mta work with us house and senate delegation to secure funding for the design and engineering phase of this project. that's it. >> thank you very much. this is the second recommendation for my totally support that. i think we ought to move on that as quickly as we can. it's a great base. it moves people across the city. i can see caltrain going out there several kinds of events. so i know director reiskin has a response to that as well but thank you for that. i support that. members of the public get to address >> yes that you have several. will speak on >> >>[calling names] >> mr. chairman and members of the board, my name is white mike wilmot. i'm a marina rested a regular muni rider and i strongly support this extension. as a longtime spur member, i've continuously involved in muni planning since 1995 including spending many hundreds of hours drafting proposition e which of course without none of us would be here. that includes many hours in meetings with howard, and if you permit me a slight digression i feel i agree fully with everything he said about the split board, split appointment process. it took a while for this board and this agency to get rolling. but under your leadership in the leadership of director reiskin, your publishing more now than we ever have. when i g with respect to the extension into fort mason, the 30 and 30-x still serve the chestnut corridor and 30, the banas corridor and incidentally to my appreciate the sensitivity which you handled the recent improvements along the chest that corridor 430 and the 30-x. the fort mason center is still not very well served but no direct service to fisherman's wharf were downtown. the proposal to extend the in f-924 mason just one more minute-when not serve marina residence downtown but serve thousands of visitors to fort mason. we are transit first city and fort mason still depends on too much on the audible. please prioritize the extension of the trolley onto its close to shovel ready then they'll accept it the decision is completed that the mta and national park service have all signed off get there's always two federal resources and there's no other monies for >> thank you. >> thanks. next speaker, please. >>[calling names] >> good afternoon chairman nolan and directed my name is ivan and manage capital budget at 4 mason ctr.. the center's mission is to support the nonprofit arts community. we have over 1.3 million visitors come through our campus. we house over 21 tenants including one sitting tenants a blue bear school of music, city college, restaurants [inaudible]. along with a bunch of short-term events geared towards the arts community and were excited to bring [inaudible] art is. jewell school campus construction has commenced an open their 60,000 square-foot graduate campus in 2017. despite a volume of activity and the activity of our neighbors, national park service in san francisco back and part, were situated in somewhat of a transit desert along the northern waterfront. the narrow pub to downtown a least half a mile away. additional public transit service to the toolkit is would bolster our attendance. our iceberg and most importantly will better tighten the heart of the city to northern waterfront. prodding our audience and strengthening access to our and far commuted as scrabble in fort mason center provide tourist improved public transit options. in the marina neighborhood residents will have additional means of access for commuters traveling to downtown. i incurred you to support the citizens advisory council recommendation to continue planning and securing funding for the streetcar extension 24 mason ctr. affirming our collective commitment to building a transit first city. thank you. >> thank you. >>[calling names]. those are the last two people. >> i'm jim chappell chairman of the board of fort mason center for arts and culture. as you just heard. we are very vibrant place. we have 1.2 million visitors a year right now. only the young resume attacks more of that a cultural institutions in the city. we are doing quite a bit of re-tenants as people are moving. transit is simply not very good. we've recently had two african-american cultural organizations, who have wanted to come to fort mason and both of them said but how will we get our people here? we can't get our people here. we believe there are two programs that are possible to start funding the historic streetcar line. the federal lands transportation program and the federal lands access program. neither of these would cannibalize any other muni rail extension because they're only available for the projects on federal land and half of this route is on federal land. it might also be possible to get a tiger grant for this and as you've heard, it's fully entitled and luminary engineering would probably be $5 million. we really like it to be prioritized to find the money and to move this project along. thank you that much >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> last person to turn in a speaker card regarding this topic. >> good afternoon chairman nolan and directors. i'm rick-present on market st., railway. sfmta is nonprofit preservation partner. we have been advocating for this extension for over 10 years. it was originally in muni's plan for historic streetcar service going way back to 1980 date we think it's time to build it. we think it's unique project the kind of got lost in the shuffle because the planning was done by the national park service at the environmental level, but that was agreed to because there's a lot of sensitive historic issues having to do with the federal land, but half of the extension is on city streets. so, it's really a hybrid cooperative project and now it's been turned over to sf mta for implementation. so, we support this cac and we would note that this cac is comprised of members from each supervisors district in the city would make their unanimous decision perfective of the factors is something that really benefits all san franciscans. it provides access to the northern waterfront for people from underserved neighborhoods in a very attractive and easy to connect weight provides connection to caltrain, bart, and other regional services. so we support the cac's motion. thank you >> thank you. >> mr. chairman that the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> you can't know everything that can be spoken on this is really a great project. fort mason wants this so badly that they're ready to give up some parking places to get the terminal a place to stop. that's really commendable. the other thing that is unique singletrack i think that's pretty cool. you may place up ever seen it is in turkey. then, per chance to go on to provide additional service to the presidio really is even worse transportation place, then fort mason would be very useful. >> thank you. members of the board any questions or comments on the citizens advisory board report? mr. ramos. >> did you say that there was half a mile walk to transit and him look in my mop and from what i call the 43 stops very close to their if i'm not mistaken. can you maybe articulate livermore about-the >> yes. i was physically talk about >> state your name >> it's a half-mile walk to a bus line that would take you downtown. you have to connect. it'll take 45 min. >> thank you for clearing that up. >> anyone else? thank you mr. weaver and members of the citizen advisory committee. appreciate your. mdm. clerk >> moving on to item 9. public comment this is a member of member to the public to address the board of directors on matters within the boards jurisdiction and are not on the today's calendar. >>[calling names] >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. thank you for the chance to speak to you today. my name is--i live in mission neighborhood in san francisco. i've lived on and off year for about three years to really love this city. i love the public transportation. i am also a writer of the commuter shuttle program. i just want to express how much i appreciate that program. and it benefits me personally. it allows me to live here without a car, and because i care deeply about the environment and also about the city that's important to me. there have been some shuttle stops moved in a laminated and that does affect me personally. my commute has been made a longer but any potential stop or elimination, especially in the dolores park neighborhood, might force me to reconsider whether i need a car in order to get to and from work. so, i just want to reform the value of the program. the importance of the continued existence of the shuttle stops and just how much i appreciate your work in considering this matter. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>[calling names]. >> good afternoon >> good afternoon. thank you chairman nolan and directors for your opportunity to speak. i live in san francisco. i live on their oak street near 21st. i use the commuter shuttle to go to work every day and i've seen over the last few months the shuttle has moved further and further away from item. these three shuttles at 18th and charged and 24 than valencia. now, they been moved as far away as shaw has and 26. and as well as 16th and sanchez. so more than half a mile away. i think i would prefer not to drive to work. some of my coworkers that did i still want to the shuttle but as it's become less can be nothing more and more people are going to do that you i prefer not to. there's an area now between douglas street and brian street, between 18th st. at 21st st. which is zero permitted commuter shuttle stop. i think that a lot of people live there. there's over 40 other transit stops so it's obviously demand for transit in that area. i like to see if economy moving stops further away to a lease find something in that area, probably in the space between dolores park and mission for a shuttle stop. there used to be a stop those being planned one people have talked about the lords and 19. people have talked about the lords and 18th, 18 that church. something in that area i think would really do well to sort of serve the demand for transit in that area for people using the shuttle system. so i also just in general i think density is required for this to work, so they're not part of the city also northern part of the city people talk about canceling the stops that-. i think we also like to see that not happen. to better serve people commuting around this it. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> good afternoon >> good afternoon. i'm a san francisco rest of you have been living in the bay area since 2000 and here in the city proper since 2009. i just want to say how much i to enjoy and appreciate the commuter shuttle program. it's made a big difference in my life since february of 2015. i started job on the penance will. it was only because of the commuter shuttle program that job was a possibility to me. so i just want to affirm it's a very very beneficial program and i hope it continues for many years. i do want to comment on the recent changes to the shuttle stop locations in the mission neighborhood and how it's impacted me personally. removal of the stop your my apartment which was 18th and charged street is dramatically change my lifestyle and my commute. i've gone from not using our car only driving on the weekend to now driving to and from the park every single day. this comes at tremendous expense to me from a gas and car maintenance perspective good as well as a tremendous sense of guilt from driving the automobile every single day. i don't want to be a part of the problem with respect to environment so impact in the bay area traffic problem. the much want to be part of the solution it would be my preference to ride a commuter shuttle every day. if possible. so, i'm here to kind of request this group's consideration for restoring commuter shuttle stops in the mission neighborhood. somewhere around dolores park or a comparable location though provide coverage to residents of the neighborhood who may be living east of the park and you want to take advantage of the commuter shuttle program without needing to take a taxi or another form of transportation to a shuttle stop. i'll leave it there and thank you guys again for your time and consideration. >> thank you. next speaker, please.. >> >>[calling names] >> hi. thank you for the opportunity to speak. my name is scott thompson. i been a mission residence for four years and am a strong supporter of the commuter shuttle program. it helps take thousands of cars off the road every day which is great for the city. i hope we can find ways to get more people to leave their cars at home and utilize options but the commuter shuttle pundit unfortunately, some of the recent changes to the program and the missionary made it a lot harder for me to use could i live at 19th and guerrero and use the stop at 18th and church every day for four years now need to walk all the way to 26 and valencia to get on a commuter shuttle. that's about 2.5 hours a week to my commute. i don't have a car so i don't have the option of switching to that but i notice a lot of my coworkers and start writing the shuttles less than switching to driving which is obviously not what we want. what specific change made the to program that would help a lot with this is restoring service to the dolores park area. i've seen a couple months ago there was a pending stop on 19th and dolores but then i don't know what happened to that. that would be great. i think dolores park is a great road for this. this 20to pull over. it's not a bike lanes away when not be a safety issue that. this would dramatically improve my life and the lives of other people live in that area and by the commuter shuttles. lastly, i would ask in the future to look at ways we can improve soliciting feedback from people who ride the shuttles. i saw on the agenda today there's a possibility the 25th and valencia evening stop might be removed and moved to cesar chavez if i understand correctly. i get off that stop every day and i'm on your e-mail list check the website regularly and i do not know that was a possibility i think if you reach out to people ride the shuttle directly in getting the feedback and consideration to these changes would be really helpful and hopefully improve the decisions we make it. they three opportunity to speak. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> good afternoon. my name is jean under resin of richmond district and carless sigh ride muni regularly every day if not more than once a day. mirror to talk about the shuttle bus so they could switch gears for just a minute. this has to do with a quality-of-life issue related to using muni. really focuses on the bus shelters. i've talked to muni to several people i muni at various times at meetings and public discussions about this. so far, nothing has been done. i thought my come and get your attention. they may seem like small matters but really does impact the ability to use the buses within each good one of them has said with a digital pen outward the digital readout but are frequently inaccurate when recording the bus arrival time. sounds like you already are familiar with that and i don't know what can be done but want you to register a concern about that and hope there is an effort made to coordinate the information on those readouts with the actual arrival time. i know it's possible. but does. buses and other cities do it so maybe there's some way of coordinated this. another issue them a which seems a minor and petty, but it really does have an affect on those of us who rely on the buses has and it's complicated because clear channel are believed runs these shelters. it has to do with the design of the shelter. that resulted in the maps that are important for those of us who need where to go and writing on unfamiliar reach, they are placed so high that you have to be a basketball player for the warriors in order to be able to read where you are going to those on the bus today and in order to figure out where to go from .8 to point b i do, to the seats and were to read the top of the map. looks like you're also familiar with that. i talked to people at muni about this. i know it's a major redesign but maybe something could be done sooner rather than later to try to make both of these issues take care of both of these issues. your attention to this would be appreciated. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> good afternoon directors. mark leeson with cancer six if you dive and san francisco. i'm here to talk to you about an aspect of the commuter shuttle program. that has to do with the permitting process itself. as you may be aware, later this week there's going to be an appeal from one shuttle operator concerning the revocation in what we are believing is a violation of the labor harmony ordinance could pass by the board of supervisors last year. i want to say, first of all, we had hundreds of drivers who are members of the shuttle program and many operators who don't face this kind of situation. but unfortunately, in the case of one operator bowers transportation, we've had numerous e-mails, meetings, facilitated we appreciate by some in the department heads and city families here, but all to no avail. we find ourselves in a situation where this process will be going forward later this week. i'm here to assure you that our union on our side of it is done everything we can to make sure this would not be the outcome. but unfortunately, from our point of view, the operator in question here has done everything to push back and to really not be offering the terms and really the values that the other drivers that are in this program are enjoying right now. none of us would find ourselves in a situation if this company had decided to mirror what the terms and conditions that those others hundreds of other drivers are enjoying right now. so, we just want to put it out there we have tried to everything we can but unfortunately the case of bowers transportation we don't find any other route to go. that you continue to use our free speech rights to protest the conditions that are happening at that company. >> date. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> if i could put something on the overhead, because i've never used this before? >> sfgov tv monitors that. let me- >> my name is paula katz. could the club start from when i start talking instead of the time on the overhead, please? thank you. my name is paula katz. the residents of the outer park side near the zoo. i write the caravelle and with ours say our caravel stop. the caravelle rapid project will be on your agenda soon. because our engineering of the curing is this friday. we want to make you aware now that there is great community opposition to this project. i am delivering to you save our caravel stop petition that signed over 1600 caravel writers do who do not want any of our stops are limited. will be turning in more signatures in the coming months. a copy of one of the additions is on the overhead. ms. boomer said she would scan in the petitions and forward them to each of you. we strongly urge you to look at these petitions and read the e-mail of the comments you will be receiving it they represent real people with real concerns who do not want to lose any of our oh caravel stops and opposed to many of the other aspects of the caravelle project. as can be expected, many of the signatures on petitions from writers whose lives will be negatively impacted if they lose their stops and have to walk in at block or two when they are catching the l and if they shop at the local merchants, library, post office and local safeway which were some incredible reason all are losing their caravel stops. made the signatures however from l writers were not losing their stops in young healthy writers who use the stops will be removed. many of them told us they were signing the petition because they cannot believe that taken away all the stops which would save less than only 2-3 min. and that it was not worth it compared to the hardship that seniors and people with disabilities would face having to walk that extra block or two. they told us about their aging parents

put on the some of the features of the caravelle plan is just a paint them on the road or not to do the hard construction yet and what we want to do is have a six-month time we can evaluate as a neighborhood how we like these changes and how we can live with it or not live with it and hopefully after that, but not done, sf mta can have another series of community meetings where we can vote on these things these features going on our roadways and neighborhood and make the changes we can all live with it and i'll feel comfortable with it the new van scapegoats: leon on a terrible in our

course of all this work paula said my friend albert, the way that merely has been rolling out with their agenda, i personally have seen they've done to the mission and other neighborhoods and was granted because i drive about 150 miles in the city every week preparing air-conditioners boilers and so and so forth. i really strongly suggest that the moral out plan that they're trying to do and what albert chose suggested is really followed ray closely. i think that's very important because of business owners in san francisco i think it's very important that we are heard and that we contribute a lot to the city. we really do. we really believe strongly in our community. we really embrace our neighborhood, our community and the people that patronize us. so, again, please take it into consideration. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> hi. my name is [inaudible] i've 30 years expense as a design construction project manager. i am with the save our caravel stops. my concern today , and in general, is a design elements of the plan. which i think need a little more review. one of them i'm going to explain today. [inaudible] >> ma'am, please speak into the microphone >> thank you. i'm sorry. this amount of accidents have occurred in the last five years that were measured by sf mta. the largest being 19th and caravel. with the busiest stop on the line. now, the plans are to remove one-stop, three stops in total. one inbound and inbound and outbound. one inbound on 21st, one inbound-how come on 17th. causing at least half of these people to now use the 19th ave. stop. already the busiest stop the most dangerous corner on the line. so, even half of the people that use the outbound and the inbound-outbound taken away either side of 19th could be 1000 more people on 19th and caravel every day. i think that's a safety issue. there are other issues i have it should be considered and reviewed more carefully. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> my name is margaret dietz. i post were moving bus stops around the city including the caravel stops. when i read into the record the text of the save our caravel stops petition was submitted to you earlier with over 6000 signatures. petition to mayor ed lea supervisor katie tang and norman gee. as chairman of the board tom nolan and the sfmta board of directors, do not take away our code will stop. we ride the caravelle and we pose as of mta's revised proposal to limit 86 stops between west portal and the zoo. outbound on caravelle 35th and 22nd, inbound on caravelle the 24th, inbound and outbound a terrible at 17th and 28, and at 15th. whether a particular stop is eliminated or not we do i think we want to keep all the else stops. currently, the l terrible stops on average every two blocks. under the proposal it will stop every 3-4 blocks. as of mta already plans to save 6 min. each way on the underground between west portal and then asked speeding up the turnaround by 12 min. and that the frequency of the l. sf mta estimates that other changes to caravelle street and limiting our six stops will save us less than 3 min., less than 6 min. round-trip between west portal and the zoo. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >>hi. thank you for letting me speak. my name is carolyn lee. i been in the city since 1972 and lived in various neighborhoods including the sunset and now cathedral hill. i'm just going to continue the reading of the petition. let's see. market-we believe less than the 3 min. savings each way, 6 min. on iraq that is not adding to the commits of hundreds elderly disabled and held writers who lose their subject many other writers walk 5-10 min. to get the else to do and we should not have to walk initial 1-2 box because. many writers are elderly and disabled to walk. the blocks were hills. many elevators don't want to look at the block were hills and neighborhood can be dark and cold, foggy and drink it here mostly at night is dark and lonely not a reassuring walk her personal loan. we does not lose our stops are local businesses many many these corners but the safeway at 17th get outside branch library at 22nd with the parkside branch the post office at 28. we do not wonder local merchants to lose customers because the dell longer stops near solution. speed up the altera between the zoo and west portal during rush hour by spinning express rapid shuttle buses were l cars would limit is up to add extra illegals because it is doing on other lines but let us keep our l stop. as a side note, i also within another paper. i feel but many these argument applies also to the 38 geary >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> her big whiner. san francisco native. welcome [inaudible] community or mta has one unique town. that's civil disturbances at public meetings. the mission cultural center was the latest example of its. there was face up. people were in each other's face. it was ghastly. this is an outcome of mta policy. it occurred on the polk street does. occurred for the potrero street district. caravelle. you name it. now, this is a result of unrealistic planning. now, and mta says the public support said. referring to their supporters the bicycle coalition , vision zero, other groups. and they're funded by mta. so, this is basically a form of lobbying, a very particular form of lobbying. now, basically, i really am outraged by this because it's working against the public. i think it's really terrible. now, here's some of the mottos of them to get you break it, you own it. mta, portraying next ahead and now in this case with this caravelle run, it's more takeaways and had. you should be thoroughly ashamed of what you are doing. i can only express outrage about it. you really should think it over. i was unit more public commotion as can be your fault and i don't have to hear these terrible people to to these nice mta managers. how preferable. no. you've got to take some responsibility of your off the rails. >> next speaker >> >>[calling names] >> good afternoon. i'm nancy warfel's longtime resident of parkside district. i wish to give you another heads up about the many problems you're having with the terrible price. the neighbors and merchants of most affected by the proposed changes try to tell the mta about opposition without success. over 64 people signed petitions to get ballpark l stop to over 1000 people stopped other petitions protesting the boarding island and resulting loss of parking spaces the new center transit only lanes, the additional traffic signals and were moving the stops. these petition seven submitted to staff months ago and have not been included on your website responded to by amending your plan. people have first been looks like to petition the government with grievances which we have done. but the mta does not seem to care about our most basic tenet of our democracy. i petitions have been ignored and got into a black hole. the l project is moving swiftly through prescribed procedure but staff have not created to pretend to be responsive to public him. this fight will have the engineering public hearing on hundreds of changes to caravelle street for which the be no transmittal to this board are written or spoken comments. you will get a summary of actions for you to approve most likely in bodied on the consent calendar. give them today to let you know we are not okay with being overloaded letting you approve a project with so many unresolved issues and we are reasonable people we will plan to improve the project and its public acceptance. we propose that caravelle plan, which adopts a soft rollout not the six-month with all the aunts proposed before you start pouring the cement. then, jeff community meetings in our neighborhood and evaluate and vote on acceptance of changes. this we can do together. will make an approved project that will benefit all of us. thank you for your consideration. we will be back >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] >> good afternoon. mary a lot of good i'm actually going to read something into the record for some of you can't be here today. her name is alan. she's an 80-year-old lady who lives

stops convenient to the resident. the stops must remain. the propose time savings is a reason to remove stops are so small as to be laughable except the hardship that will follow. i speak as one who is within the l from 22nd ave. for 42 years. yes, the 22nd ave. hails from discussed people over the years and i often stop to use my asthma inhaler but what's the corner home on flat land. i can

13? >> yes. [inaudible] >> yes that's what i was after. thank you. >> mr.-used to be a member of the public transportation committee years ago. spe >>[calling >>[calling names] >>the community has an interest here. i like the idea of a bus that was busted if you get to a certain point of life of the afternoon adventure the after day is a right on the muni. keep the stops. express buses will work. we have another problem. some of our senior citizens they remember let's combat community, late 1970s, early 1980s. the unique, professional people in the white shirts decided to buy some buses and they have plastic windows and by the time buses went through the washer three times, which was about 2-3 months, you cannot see out your window. we had that for years and the only reason we got rid, i suppose, because in 1984 we at the democratic convention within a public eyesore for diane feinstein were then made to this beautiful city with all these wonderful guests taking a buses and thinking how can these people write these things. in the same vein, we have a problem now. the 6500 series, the 67 and series, the 7200 series come articulated buses are rattled traps. they make more noise than the 8300 that are 16 years old we got from in 2000. i can only go from where the wheelchair seats are to the cage around the driver. that's all i hear. i don't know what is behind the better driver said the mark ball busters around. yes, i know the streets are in terrible shape. possibly, that's up mayoral problem. we should address that. we know the streets are in bad shape. we know the buses should be able to take the walls of the street by 10 miles an hour. they should not be rattling more than this 16-year-old buses. the drivers, if there's a union i don't understand the unit needs to step up on this and we also need to step up on this because some big linear tape the drivers that this amount of time laughing at us now but pretty soon the not to be laughing at the end of the units needed. we need to drivers the people that live in the city >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] these are the last two public speakers. >> eileen-long-term district for resident. here is this caravelle neighbor. here in solidarity with my other caravelle neighbors and merchants. i'm here to support the soft wool out proposal for the l terrible as stated previously. we are assisting the mta adopt the soft rollout strategy to avoid a meltdown similar to that on mission street. i would also like to finish the comments from paul a cap and i quote, many who signed the petition told us about their aging parents and grandparents and elderly neighbors would have a great deal of difficulty doing this good way to san francisco they care more about others than saving a couple of minutes for themselves. eliminating public transit stops is a reduction in service. don't take away our caravelle stops. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >>[calling names] lascaux per person to speak under this period >> good afternoon. we are reaching the point where we don't have design guidelines to schedule improvements are we designed by complaints. it can't work this way. i mean, physical. as moved in my neighborhood on the l and the pretty far apart when not complaining so those will be a little stop consolidation that will work and save a few seconds each time. that is great. it's good. you have to listen to people but at the point they complained at the meetings, you have to take the time to explain. why are you doing this? now, i would tell you and you know very well, if you save a minute on every line in the system are talking over $20 million a. that's a bunch. the provide service for a lot of other people that really need it. to say you can walk stops have to be only so far part doesn't work. i would remind you again, the 21, crosses oh caravelle. those stops are 1400 feet apart. no one complained. they didn't 1400 feet apart for many years even before the change that's finally going to happen in 2018. presidio drive had 1400 feet a drive apart. it was. it isn't that the peoplesoft apart walk better and faster than the people north of the park. that was done for car driving. okay. but still it works and no one complained too much. it has to be a better way they just driving people, getting [inaudible] must be with to explain each thing. i was all concerned about service to the safeway. we walked to it particular locate a stop probably far side and nearside stop right on 19th amount they cured the sick. what's an extra half walk. my stopple use, and weight [inaudible] some of the people do not make it here. it's going to be moved broccoli. 700 feet. that's like. it's on the level. thank you >> thank you. and most care to address the board in public comment. seeing none, next item >> mr. burris made a point about the bus shelters and maps been to i can we look into that? [inaudible] thank you >> mr. chairman, consent calendar these items are considered to be retained on active upon by single vote unless a member the board of member the public wishes to have an item severed and considered subtly. mr. chairman i received no request from the public that an item be severed >> ms. borden >> i would ask than .97. and can i ask i don't severed a call to attention we have three measures on the consent calendar around speed limits and schools. i just want to point this out publicly for people understand why there's a difference that emf were establishing 25 mi./h at the school speed limit and then on x were establishing 15. so i had queried if that was because of the nature of the road that the schools are on and i was told, yes, that is the case oh i want to point out because i know under vision zero there's been a big concern for zero is the speed around the school zone. the legal ability to do a 50 mile speed limit but apparently not on the type of street that the school for x isn't it i will collect everyone's attention >> thank you. so the consent calendar planted 10 point hundred is a motion on the consent calendar -10.9 moved and seconded. all those in favor say, aye opposed? director borden two and speak to this? >> yes. i want to the public what 10.9 is so they know what were they are talking about >> sure. 10.9 limit read into the record 10.9 >>[reading code] >> good afternoon directed. this item is actually asking for approval of two areas. one is to extend the current contract and the second portion is to issue an rfp. the current contract has been placed for about 18 years but altogether it'll be a 20 year contract. the current contract is structured up multiple function under one vendor. over the last 18 years of managing this area we've identified certain lessons learned and we think there's value in separating one master contract into three service functions. one is basic citation processing, the second one is permit module in the third component is a special collection hard to collect functions. the way it's structured right now a bidder could bid on the rfp for both these basic citation processing and the permitting function, but not on special collection. however, the first-#and what i hear the concerns are run the special collections area. so, the first line of collections is with the basic vendor. it is hard to collect contacts are to collect accounts that we are recommending be sent to a third party. the reason is several. the first is, we believe the special collection firms that do this better.. that's the record isn't most special collection accounts and rental cars, people visit the city or outside collecting from out-of-state, second, the way that financial structure is set up on special collection is a special collection firms get a percentage of the collection. so, we feel separating the duties so that the special there's no incentive to move accounts into special collections and keep it separated. make the most sense for the agency. about 7% of our revenue is now coming from special collections did so it's a significant source. given the amount of concern i've heard about this area, it makes me more committed to separating the special collections than the rest of the functions in the rfp. so unless you have a specific question happy to answer but i think it's best practices to separate the functions and not have one vendor to both first-line collection and the special collections. i believe there could be incentive to move stuff to special collections the vendor could earn more money from doing that. that's where we are coming from >> do any other jurisdiction separate this? >> yes, dallas for example is doing that. we've always the leader in the citations area. when we talk to other cities first of all our citation is much larger than most cities. it over $100 million collected from citations. we are enforcement team is very good at this. [inaudible] so, we are like a lot of other syndicate were collections is citations is a large part of our efforts. so there's other cities find this model because of the effort because no other city at the level of collections, level of special out-of-state tour is him, rental car, that we see that go into special collections. >> it's minor standing out in los angeles they look at separating this out and they're more comparable to us and would cost a lot more money i guess that would be my major concern. you and i have a conversation about this before. i guess i don't understand the rationale for not allowing the provider to bid on all three because you restore the jurisdiction. and it's worthwhile knowing if we could actually save money by having one vendor do all three or just have them done separately but i don't understand the rationale for not allowing anyone to bid on all three portions. >> they could bid on all three bourne not going to give the same vendor the award for the basic collection front and peace and the special collections division batch is something that we believe is not a good model for us to follow. >> even if it's financially better >> well maybe financial better for the firm because the get more money >> even for us as the city? >> we will a valuate them as their fee process but i don't see a scenario where we would benefit the value added would be better. i just can't envision that particularly given the special collection feels and how much involved over sometime. the first [inaudible] special collections is not their core function. there are firms who do special collections and i think we value more from focusing having a firm that does that and 7% is quite a lot of money that we need more focused attention on special collection efforts. so i don't [inaudible] but i just don't see a scenario where we would be heard. i think be benefited from separating the two functions. >> so were saying the first level collections of stability done by the previous vendor. it just the special collections? >> it's the really hard to collect accounts that we right now are 7% of our-that we want to try another model. see how it works >> don't we have a really high rate is interesting into missouri collections overall? >> if 7% of special collections we have a high collection rate, yes on the first line, it's a hard to collect stuff, rental cars people from coming from out-of-state. those kind of vehicle type exchange, uber and stuff like it. it's much harder to collect an incentive is for the firm to get a percentage of the collection. they're more likely to identify accounts and special collections. >> but when the incentive anybody when the incentive be across all firms of those?. >> it is only doing special collections. so if we separate the two functions they would be one firm doing both soul that went from when not have the incentive to move items from the first level collection to special collection. not sure from articulated this well but for example if i run a company and i knew i could make more money by moving accounts into special collections i'm more less likely to do a good job on the first collection effort because i know i would- >> i'm not saying it's happening still the vast majority are being settled. >> exact. >> it doesn't seem likely to me a lot of percentage being pushed to special collections of the work is. if i'm clear you are saying that the same could bid on all three portions of the contract and our position is we wouldn't take all three but people could bid on all three? >> people could bid also. the way it's currently structured we would allow them to the permitting portion as well as the basic citations part. when not want to use the same firm to win the awards for the first collection portion and the special collections portion. that's the way it's structured. i would assume that the current vendor with 93% of the business and do a good job of responding to the rfp puts the permitting module in the special collection firms who specialize in that effort focus on that area. for our agency i could tell you that mr. blr eggs in one basket is such a large effort that to separate that out like this system is down, everything is just a variety of risk issues we've looked at. so, that's my recommendation. to do it separately and try different model. >> so i guess it's your position the current system we have for 20+ years has not been working effectively? >> in various areas were not quite please with the way the current system is working. >> just one question, if we approve this and you do split this out, and get the three different sets of dates that, if two director borden's point, it looks like we are going to end up paying more, do you at that point have the ability to reconsider how you award the contract? >> sure. absolutely we could do that. we have three firm to recovery confident went to the basic citations when doing the permitting, do the special collections. project two contracts but i don't see a scenario where we have one put all our eggs in one basket with one contractor for all three. >> i'm happy to make a motion >> i do question. what would be wrong with letting apply for the holding? zero comes out? with the make their own case. >> i don't to raise expectations of the vendor that we would consider a scenario and give all 321 firm. that was my concern because i just don't see a model where i would be comfortable giving special collections effort with 7% two- for the permitting and base to go to one vendor but i don't believe the vendors on and allow them to bid on all three and end up with a scenario where -that's the way restructured it >> i'm getting off location of the 7% collectors. do these people call you harass you and call you is that what we are employing? is that what it is? >> i'm sorry? >> are these the people that call you at home mom to repossess your house all that stuff. is that what were talking about?. i don't know about that but it's identified mostly special collections and databases we don't have access to across the state across the country. mostly rental cars they get a ticket they leave the jurisdiction and so it's a lot of work to try to track these people down. we would rather have firms specializing that do that rather than having the base band vendor spend time doing that effort when they could do a job at the base of his. >> sounds like a euphemism to me. director driscoll you get to weigh in on this? >> yes. a few things. first, i'm surprised the level of interest in this topic of administration. as you know, we have been seeing increased ratings from the credit rating agency based on sound financial management practices that we put in place. where we try to, as we enter into contracts would look at other things were doing across the agency, the two best practices emerging practices, ways to reduce risk, reduce conflict and make sure that we are maximizing value for the agency as i think we are required to do. the fact that were changing this is less about this a big problems they can we just see a better practice to reduce risk. i think we have in order for enforcement to work, we need to have credible ways of making sure that people pay when they violate our parking and traffic laws and that's what,, in part, this is about. we believe this inherent conflict when you have the same people at the front and carrying through this lifecycle. it's possible there may be higher costs by separating this out, but we believe it also potentially higher revenues because both the citation processing contractor and the special collection contractor with greater incentive to collect the money that is owed to the city and county of san francisco. so, the great majority of people as director borden points out later citations and we want to make if they are such that the rest of the people do as well. we think this a better and more sponsor way to do so and that's why were recommending it. >> website, director >> it's a board decision. you understand that? is there a motion on the? moved and seconded. any further discussion? >> mr. chairman before you do that you want to see if his numbers of the public to address it >> other members of the public picture to address the board on this topic? >> state your name for the record, please >> nancy-i think mr. reiskin for his comments. i been involved in auditing firm is my professional life and i'm refresh to hear exactly what you said about separation of duties sound management practices of evaluating risk. it's not a good idea to have all these functions in one basket. the presenter was very delicate in being very nice to answer you ms. borden and i hope you're convinced that the right thing to do is to different companies checks and balances. >> anyone else care to address the board? seeing none, i think we have a motion. all those in favor say, aye opposed? the ayes have it. thank you. next item >> mr. chairman that concludes your consent calendar and will move on to the regular count. item 11. >>[reading code]the consent calendar has been passed. sorry. >> [inaudible] >> the chairman did ask the members of the public was to address the board. we did not get any speaker cards. >> next item, please >> item 11, >>[reading code] >> i'm going to ask tom maguire director of streets come forward. were joined by some of our colleagues from the planning department. mr. mcguire was at the planning commission last week doing kind of a reciprocal presentation on general transportation to the planning commission. this is now a general presentation on land-use planning to this commission in preparation for our joint planning and mta board commission on thursday. >> good afternoon. as director reiskin said this preparation for thursday's joint meeting. last thursday we presented to the planning commission giving an overview of the transportation system and mta's primary strategic goals and programs. i'm now pleased to introduce gil kelly from the san francisco planning manager director of citywide planning. planning department and he and his effort to give us a presentation on transit venues establishment in san francisco. >> good afternoon mr. kelly and welcome >> thank you. chairman nolan and vice chair brinkman board numbers and director reiskin. i'm going to take you into a little different room of conversation and talking about fees and collections and even moving transit stops. we are thinking about the long-range transportation system for the city. our main presenter i will introduce in just a moment but i want to set the stage a little bit in that you'll hear more about this on thursday in the joint session with the planning commission, but it's an exciting project that we are just now initiated. you'll hear more about it on first. so this preparation for that. the planning commission was delighted to tom, and speak to them. last week and give them a briefing overview of what's going on in the transportation world. today, you'll get the reciprocal presentation what's happening when not simply ban land use the population and job forecast how we've approached the big picture planning in the past and was in front of us. all introduce joshua in just a moment who is our chief planner when it comes to the growth management issues and so forth. but, i want to preface this by saying we believe this is a moment in time that's extremely important to look out into the future. we have an unprecedented level of population growth since the early postwar period both in terms of jobs and population. we are seeing a very rapid pace of change and transformation of what san francisco is and there are deep questions in the community right now about this corridor be able to live here how people get around the weather will be able to finance infrastructure adequately, whether we will the house people adequately and so forth. this is a thick nest of issues and challenges that we are planning department the time to address along with our partners. to that end, we are kind of focused in this work on the transportation piece. so, will be looking primarily on that on how relates to some of these other big moving parts in the urban development system. it's not to take away from the near-term immediate action being taken by every agency every day. but i think the question were provoking here is will those added to the kind of future that we want in 20 heck 30 years. so, josh will give you a presentation in a moment that will tee up some of those questions with the information about time for your questions but will get into the bigger picture of planning looking forward on thursday and i want to knowledge director reiskin along with his counterparts, john pam and julie chang and representatives of the mayor's office it as an oversight body over the work that's being done a staff level by the three transportation agencies together. that work is being coordinated and managed by teresa espinosa, who is here as well today. tracking this conversation it shall be the primary presenter along with-of your staff on thursday. so, again, kind of a two-part and we want to focus in on bringing you up to speed with long-term population job housing and land use trends. today if that's clear all introduce joshua will give you the presentation. thank you >> good afternoon. joshua-with planning staff. if i could get the slides up, please? thank you. just to recap were here to set the stage for you and give you a broad overview to give you a good understanding of the trajectory of land use planning and growth in san francisco over the last few decades. it's really important to understand just a brief historical context and know where we are today and where we are heading. so, what i've done is broken out the template past interview themes that have really probably in my view encapsulated the trajectory in different areas of planning in san francisco. that have really brought us to where we are today. the first the modern era starts in the late 60s early 70s. it's when bart first opened in the city muni metro market street. also, the board of supervisors adopted the first transit first policy. this is really an arrow where willie san francisco was starting to grow internally after it had reaches maximum extent in the late 40s and downtown was really starting to grow robustly. this is really the era of bringing in the growth of the downtown try to keep it from spilling into adjacent neighborhoods that the chinatown or the tenderloin brother jason neighborhoods. julian era of san francisco grappling with its protection of its cherished neighborhoods. as well as accommodating some amount of growth on the job site in downtown and i was the focus for a good decade and a half to the mid-80s, dated with the adoption of the downtown plan. it also brought us other policies and voter initiatives like the park shadows ordinance pm which provides an annual limit on office growth in the city. as well as the was a ordinance passed by the voters mandated waterfront land use plan. this is the killing of the industrialization of the northern waterfront and what became of that. so, then after that there was a hiatus terms of land-use planning in the city for a good 15 years. really starting in the late 90s throughout the 90s we did have a transportation side, we had great successes. muni metro expended in the first anchor mental expansion with market in the next fourth and king and the construction of the light rail. at the same time at the federal level we had tea-21 words but a focus on transit oriented development to plan for transit oriented. becker cited in a perfect storm with the.com boom and the live-work phenomena we had a lot of scattershot housing being thrown all run our industrial districts around the city and a lot of concern about our rebuilding the neighbors. i was serving him with transit and parks and everything. so with these two movements in hand the prime determinant city reinvigorated its competent planning function and we had this real explosion of housing orientated neighborhood complete neighborhood plans start with a better name its program them to eastern neighborhoods as well as several other key opportunities that also coincided with us at. the base realignment federal program which handed over the shipyard and treasure island to the city as well as the hope six became old sf program. so, this team continues today. projects going on and continue to work on all sf program. the new neighbor programs and the [inaudible] as well as looking at our neighborhood and what we call the market octavia area. that again that program the focus of this effort had been about creating complete neighborhoods as opposed to what was seen at the time in the 90s is just letting housing happen as opposed to creating neighborhoods could sue the better neighborhoods program reinvigorated that that's also the birth of our conference of implementation plan for neighborhood plans. he said option of impact fees associate with all these plans and then go interagency partnership to implement these plans. whether that's transit improvements, open space, libraries and the whole suite of improvements. that sort of brings us to the next era which was not purely about housing but the mission date in the late 90s with the first shot across the bow in terms of what is the next beyond in terms of job growth in san francisco. solely, downtown starting to fill up in terms of the conception of what it is the downtown.. obviously they should they was a unique opportunity. it really starting only about 5-6 years for the city started grappling with and looking at plans in terms of how to grapple with the city's job growth. that's economic diversity. the transbay plan, looking at how do we finalize the downtown probably ultimate stakeout lasted quite a long time. then, looking further south with the central summit plan,, which you probably hear about in the coming months. which is looking at the growth of the south of market among the central subway line which will open in a couple years and you'll hear more about today but some projects coming up along the eastern seven waterfront in mission rock and pier 70 and the central waterfront. billy grappling with the city and not just the city says city of office workers but a city of industrial businesses and other nonprofits and other activities make it real whole diverse economic workplace. so a lot of these digitally eastern neighborhoods and southeastern neighborhoods really where the rubber meets the road on these policy questions about how we not just accommodate both in terms of housing but as well as how we accommodate our economic activities. billy, the fourth and final thing is on the present everybody's minds today locally statewide maybe not as much national but the regional housing crisis. in the bay area. the neighborhood is. it's not a citywide crisis really a regional one. billy, for the first time since the 1970s is really the state to talk about housing policy. i say the late 70s purse issues like rent control, ellis act, and all these issues did not until recently has there been any action even discussion on existed believe san francisco we as you see we been doing this plan on neighborhood by neighborhood basis. how should this neighborhood grow? that we talk about citywide housing policy issues in the last couple of years we said adopted legislation legalizing in law units citywide police terms of those already exist in the way of legislation pending in front of the board 12 accessory towing units citywide bell be a landmark move and last week we had the adoption of an affordable housing bonus to allow 100% for the housing projects, to, to get bonuses. so, this is really kind of the topic that's on everyone's mind. not that the other ones are not continuing in our trajectory and discussions but this one is sort of survey would scrapping our attention. we operate obviously in a context of such as well happening in san francisco. this greater factors and influences influencing our work and the trajectory and factors that san francisco has to deal with. certainly, urbanization using all stories and read studies about how even as a nation hiding interest i returning to cities and whether it's millennial's or baby boomers are just the population at large there's a greater interest in city living and that bears out in our population trends. survey, clustering of talent most notably wealth and small number of cities around the country has been a particular issue with our housing crisis here. as well as issues of, change addressing our issues from a regional basis and so the public health whether the vision zero or just general active lifestyle. that's certainly driving our planning actions that could sue will run through some numbers quickly to give you a sense of where we have come and where we are. san francisco since 1980 was kind of the bottoming out of san francisco population. there was a slide coming out of world war ii. i think around 1950 and then we almost lost couple hundred thousand people to 19 agent that really we've growing fairly steadily since then by about 25-50,000 people protected that the last five years we've doubled that. we've added 50,000 people just in the last 5-6 years along. the result as you'll see from the housing numbers in a minute, we been done to find our housing stock. will the people living in each unit because we are not producing much housing to keep up with population growth get it more employed people per household. whereas, few decades ago you that one revealed over one working person know where multiple working people per household. san francisco has picked up its pace in terms of regional growth. as you can see from these numbers, from the 70s-80s, city would produce about 6% of the reasons housing. that's picked up steadily with each decade culminated with the last three years we been producing over 15% all the regions housing. on a population side is actually even more substantial. while the first planned area adopted in 2015 projected san francisco would grow by 1000 households in 30 years, we grew the household side by only about 7.5 thousand on the chair population some point we do it 50,000 people in apartment 30% of the population growth has been inspecting the we well outpaced these those projections such at that draft on the street today shows a potentially growing by about 100,000 households per 24 is made by potentially as 140,000 households. by 2040. it just shows you are housing pipeline. if over 60,000 housing units either entitled under construction, or in the permitting stage. you can see the primarily concentrated in the southern eastern quadrant of the city. if you to align for market street to mission street everything within a boundary but 75% of all the housing units would be in that area. just interesting note is that fully 50% of our housing pipeline is a small handle very large master-planned project. by treasure and. [inaudible] unique challenges in terms of infrastructure building up these places are really almost blank slates in terms of transportation parks and everything that comes with that. on the jobsite, we are the bay area has been growing more robustly than the state or nation is over number of years. it has reached sort of milestones in terms of total jobs in the region that have not been reached before. just like on the house inside san francisco has really picked up its growth share of the region. on average, we've gone over this long period about 6500 jobs a yet but if you look at the recent decades and if you look at the recent 5-6 years is double that again. the pace that's really unprecedented. in terms of the regional productions, similar story. the plane banner area adopted in 2013 thought we would grow about 190,000 jobs were 70% of the region by 2040. we well outpaced up your we've taken 20% of all jobs achieve more than half of all the 30 year growth in just five years. so, not surprisingly the projections for 2040 are being revised and showing us growing by the detroit 250,000 jobs by 24. as you can see the pipeline of commercial space is pretty robust. about 23 1/2 million square feet is entitled were under review and no provide space for parents about 80,000 jobs. just another note similar to the housing picture,. the location of particularly office space and job space in general has shifted since the 70s and 80s and is accelerating in this direction for the first 15-20 years after the adoption of the downtown plan three quarters of all the office space in the city was entitled in the downtown. the next seven years was cut in up to 40% and currently, only 10% of the city's office that's proposed untitled is in the downtown get the rest is on the south of market in areas south and east along the waterfront. willie, the downtown is reaching the sort of full buildout under the conception. this clearly presents new challenges particularly in transportation basis to address where [inaudible] so, that brings us to our current ongoing talk a little bit in the first part about some of the projects that we are planning efforts undertaken whether central soma southern waterfront the hub but we really try to coalesce to work program into key challenges that we shape our focus and our aspirations. the first is advisory equity and inclusively . this is challenging the basic soul of the sitting see that is where the paramount challenges for the city. access and mobility. this is clearly your--and we talked a lot about those challenges within four. resiliency and sustainability. climate change we are a coastal spit zero arise presents unique challenges for some other heavily populated part of our city for waterfront and transportation infrastructure. lastly, place making. building places for people whether that's neighborhoods groaning or not growing. we train our attention to making places the people we want to inhabit good taking these things we have five place initiatives. that most of our work falls within few part of the city's we focus on the market street corridor and the neighborhoods in public spaces that hang off that corridor and make it pacific commons that we all hope and aspire it would be. the city of neighborhoods which is really looking at neighborhoods brilliant many which are not growing robustly the way that others are. trying to make sure that everyone can meet their daily needs within a walking to my short walk or bike short transit ride. they can sure housing policy support the diversity our households reflect. the next-generation sf is kind of a coin of a term to reflect the growth management aspect of our. promote the sums up these part of the city where you see a lot of growth happening but making sure nudges planning for growth in terms of housing and jobs and making sure the live transportation system, open space systems, educational systems, community facilities are really doing huge amount of growth and relatively concentrated area that need good we talked a little bit about the waterfront and bridging the bay. we are really trying to engage in a much more robust level with our partners in oakland and san jose and really looking at how we collectively solve some of these problems and regional basis engaging with plane banner and a area and are [inaudible] in a much more deliberate way. then we have in the past. so, that concludes my presentation at happy to take any questions and look forward to dialogue on thursday and beyond >> thank you very much for the presentation. especially appreciate the regional considerations. i'm hoping that this moves forward were on touch with our regional partners on this side of the bait and north of the bait and south of the bid. are we working with them at all on this. is i think around renault working with the other areas? >> in terms of planned bay area itself were in close dialogue with our partners in both shaping the projections and making sure that large extent they reflect how we view the growth prospects of the city not just throwing out numbers that may be unrealistic or misallocated as well as providing lots of comments on the transportation packages that go along with those. even separately, we reached out to planning directors in oakland and san jose. we were just on a field trip to san jose just a couple weeks ago meeting with our staff and talk about our common issue could were doing that and how it was more formal processes did >> so to think about the immediate neighbors like brisbane for example. high-speed rail. their idea to build storage facility there. having conversation i don't know what's going on with that at all and i don't know if they have the ability to condemn the property. i suppose they do. but that's optically neighborly. >> yes. we have a particular project as you probably know in the planning department to look at the arrival high-speed rail. often referred to as bad or railyard alternatives study. we are in contact with brisbane on that project. this sort of future many ban in brisbane is in question but they're going through their own planning and domicile review process but we stay in contact with them on that. we are really reaching out to a number of communities on the region on the speaker transportation question. so, open is reforming a transportation department right now for example. the kind of beefing up their ability to participate. thank you. vice chair brinkman >> great presentation. i've been in this city long enough to really understand how the planning department helps us shape the city. i remember mr.-given a presentation to walk sf ages ago about how the bank on hill and downtown plan was going to restore the look of the hill in the valleys of downtown known across the bay bridge there they appear we actually have done it. i think a lot of people don't realize with incredibly long-term view you have to take in your department. i was getting really nervous when i was looking at this and looking at the sort of southern bayfront housing units coming online until i got to the next presentation which showed how we are going to do without in the transportation. it's great. it's good information and i'm so happy having this presentation and working together with planning to make sure were covering all these things. the last thing i just want to say is i will also appreciate the planning departments focus on what people need in the neighborhoods and neighborhood services and place making. in my neighborhood, we squared) section for nine months and left such a hole in the neighborhood. there's nowhere and where people go further evening walk or go to just watch the dogs plate or hang out. i appreciate the sharper focus and the experience you all have with that. so, thank you >> director borden >> i have a question have we done mapping like you do with planning how our dissertation overlays how we done with transit and ridership and infrastructure maps with plan. i think that's one of the challenges we see today with the stressors in the system because we've not looked at how that correlates. i've never seen a presentation like that. does one exist? >> personally i have not seen it. it doesn't mean it doesn't exist but certainly part of the connect sf after i'm sure we will be part of the dialogue and provide a background context >> to that point, we looking at i know were moving forward and obviously making a lot of improvements and symptom would talk about later. with existing neighborhoods, but have we done i think i know in each of these development agreements and plans there were infrastructure for transportation requirements that in some cases with development agreements that are have to be put into place and sometimes their money to put in the funds to up on those projects. with area plans like market and octavia good have we done a brief refresh to look at that considering doing oh that we have the transportation improvements were making today we know we have 50% of our pipeline is part of major development actually to come online for another 10 in some cases 20 years. how are we making sure we are facing everything? looking at that bigger picture of with community plan like the short term focusing on the projects window need to deal with right now and also making sure the long-term were ready when we finally get the last 10,000 units in the shipyard or over in [inaudible] >> but i would say he and all that jill give the correct answer, but i would say is first of all for the large common projects the transportation improvements are phased based on the development. soon the candlestick shipyard hunters point plan for example the transportation plan their triggers and targets where we need to work with the development to essentially build the transportation infrastructure as the development happens same the treasure i look at st. luke's and with [inaudible] but i think you're getting a kind of the deeper question that is josh said, we done these individual plans but i don't think we really have taken a citywide view terms of what you are saying of overlaying that map, i think that spot on in terms of what we need to be doing and that's effectively what we started this long-range transportation planning process that were going to discuss on thursday because to be honest, from my standpoint will done in the past aside from the development by the government were neighborhood by neighborhood efforts, such as to the transit effectiveness project look at somewhat of the existing system that optimizes them a call for projects. who's got an idea of something? and people throwing we should do a subway here we should do a project there. but it hasn't been-and those are analyzed in this lot of evaluation that goes into that but i haven't seen in recent decades the we've done this citywide view. we looked at current system we have much as many of their the transit providers in the bike network, road network and overlaid that with the existing demands on the system and projected for future growth to see where the stressors, if they're not now, then a become upon students are planning for it. that, for me was why we started this long-range process because i don't that we are done that to the extent we needed to on the citywide regional basis that's what you be hearing about thursday. just the beginnings of that. it's a tall task it a lot harder than doing it in a very focused weight >> i think it's important because having been on a plane we were always approve the project because the transit waited developments. which is what we want, but the flipside is the transportation infrastructure is taxed, no most of our developers in south of market were doing a lot with not to say that hello street were other neighborhoods are not important because they're growing other way but why 50% of her development is happening in the south of market district yet the majority of our time is spent focusing on other areas. i'm not saying those areas are not important but we haven't quite lined up our graduate of fact were going to all these people in a place and not easy ways to get them around. it kind of spills into the commuter shuttles and all these other kind of stressors were seen on the system today because were not looking out. look forward to being part of helping to great his larger vision because i think that's exactly what's been lacking and how where we are today i think the hard thing is thinking about what were talking about the caravel geary street is and just think about today but think about 20-30 years where we need to be on the other side of things so we don't have to say, gosh, we should have anticipated that were good have development or whatever. and now we need infrastructure. i think that's kind of like what i think it's intentional process we helpful to the community at large to see the vision for where things are going the more we can overlay window to violence are coming here or populations going there, how are we adjusting i think the better lens we have one more look at all these individual projects and how we move forward with them. >> if i could, i would just say director reiskin did give the right answer. the only thing i would add is that as you're alluding to the planning commission also struggles with the same kind of question. they spend notably a small amount of their time looking at the long-term big picture and mostly dealing with development project. so this board and that commission to take a step which i think only happens once in a generation so this is a great moment to seize. the one other thing at new hear more about this in the coming presentation on the southern bayfront, there was a little bit at eight ha ha moment how we might build the bridge between now with these new developments come in and memory have this big picture in place. that is kind of a three bucket approach to negotiate particularly negotiated transportation contribution to those development agreements. the one bucket meeting on-site or nearsighted that need improvements. some of those same either neighborhoods as well as the site. a second bucket that goes with augmenting suite and doing other things with the system that we know we need now in the short term the third bucket and hobbies apportioned all the lies are subject to ever negotiation, but a third bucket to make sure these development circuitry bidding at least to the study work and the design work the upfront work whatever comes out of this big picture planning work we are doing. so here more about that >> thank you. dir. ramos >> i was just going to say that i'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to hear from you folks about this. i think i'm constantly surprised by how our best projections are always less than what we could have imagined and i think about what our system and the hardship it must've been on folks in the past to have dug the tunnels we dug and laid on the rails that we did and what have you. i can imagine the world were san francisco today without these things. i think that it's important that we think about just not even within account of speculation, just looking at where we've been in the past and thinking about the kind of growth we've expense in the past and that what we can anticipate in the future to guide our decisions. i would hope that when we are talking to the community about any these changes that we been talking about lately, but it's moody forward were any of the new projects, that we couch them in these terms so that folks understand to director brinkman point talk about accommodating the future and try to keep ourselves from buying ourselves in a place where our sister property on the point of real efficiency for anyone or have been use patterns are sprawling and not really sustainable not really having any real sort of conductivity and cohesion with the community that they hold, and i really want to stress and hope that-i've seen presentations in the password to my p2 slides carpet 2-3 sides talking about here is where we are in your is where we might grow in the future, but the slides and some of these charts that you presented today are really compelling and particularly, have exceeded projections that we had in the past. i would hope there's an effort afoot on the mta's behalf to make sure that we were talking about changing the color valve or the mission whatever it might be, that we are taking it within this, with this in mind where we are doing these things with this in mind. >> thank you. rector other members of the public who wish to speak spirit >> yes we have one member of the public who turned in a speaker card. >>[calling names] >> good afternoon director. howard strasser. i think that's a family get-together with planning. then using transit of course must work together. our member being concerned about the housing jobs balloted for the previous mission bay but to go back to some of the things that might be the use should've shown you on this. they should have shown you the growth in cars number of cars per family number of cars per household total number of cars in the city. to go back with director ramos said i was to that chart from 19 6920 of to start and what to we want that the idea for 2000 but that was a long time ago. if you look at the 2040 how many cars are we going to have we have in the past because you doing so many things to reduce the number of cars. does it work it's good to see that. the other thing that i would say is when the great things that planning did for us in the 60s, was putting parking limits on office building spirit well, our building offices whether on a parking limits and the providing one or two full parking places for thousand square feet. the limiting the court it was .2 parking spaces per square foot in them sending you a paper shortly on that. that's very important. you'll never win if there's corresponding to the circuit you're worried about course pouring in and correspondent. the other thing happening you look at these numbers. we have 62,000 new units in the pipeline , 80 some odd thousand new jobs that were not keeping up. the housing affordability thing and this is talking to planning, two. housing affordability is core to get further out of hand. so, we both have to work you have to work together to make this happen and bring us the city we still want to live in. >> think. anyone else care to address the board? >> tom gilbert e. i've been there 27 years. the building has been there 27 on three months. they opened the couple months before i joined. the e, line the third line we that the baseball game. we've got the paschal stadium and 650,000 ft.2 of office space and we are going to have the giant plan, with 11,000 workers and 1500 apartments. we have a crunch over there. i would like to see the overlay. i don't think the 15 line can handle it. the t line can handle this anymore. we may need a completely different line going into that area because it's easy to put -this was the one that caught my attention. i don't know if you can get a close-up of that spirit all the red dots on the eastern neighborhood and ugly the eastern neighborhood plan that took seven years to finalize finalized in 2008. i think that's one is in tatters right now. but the dots, if you look at >> [inaudible] it's it easy to build but we don't have the streets the avenue were the design for this good transit at all. and what kind of behind on it. i don't know if i much we can do. that's what i'm saying. we have a juggernaut coming. thank you >> think. an interest care to address the board on this? come forward, please. >> again this is directed toward the planning people. >> giving a moment, please. >>i do wonder if they're planning for with the end of road. there has to be a limit. is not and was it does not go on forever. as previous gentleman pointed out, there's perhaps a limit on how you can transport these people. is there a limit on water? is a limit on other resources? has the planning commission looked at how far you can go? >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> nancy-as long as you're thinking the way you are appreciate this on the overlay mastered 01 overlay of the sea level rise. the maps i've seen scare the crap out of them. this is said. we have lot of important housing projects in the area that's going to be club club club have looked at: our plans for a long time about bayview-hunters point and it's a golden opportunity to house and transfer people into a lovely beautiful area. but the point is, we have to get things right in terms of where the land is and where the water is going to be. i don't hear anything about new lines if there could be underwater. let's make sure we understand that when you're going to propose in i'm going to pay for is can actually be something that's going to be there even with we have to do elevated things like that happen chicago. >> thank you. anyone else care to address the board seeing none, mdm. clerk >> mix item mr. gimenez presentation and discussion regarding the southern bayfront strategy. >> thank you for the last presentation >> is to chairman just for the record no members of the public was to address you on that matter. >> good afternoon chairman of nolan and members of the board. carly pain from the sfmta . please do introduce presentation on the southern bayfront and mike martin from,, he's a project director at the office of economic and workforce development to kick off the presentation, which i think could not have been more vertically queued up by the previous conversation. i think would answer and raise probably even more questions. >> good afternoon >> afternoon rectors. mike martin office of economic and workforce development, e ms. aims, and it is very opportune to be talking with you about this topic after the item we just heard about. the court is immune from the broad macro citywide historical and future view to one specific place where these challenges of growth are really being seen and hopefully being worked on i had of one they're coming for you before developments. i'm here on behalf of director development in my office can rich get to my colleague did my office generally leads negotiations with the project sponsors major development agreements which as you all know as they come before you boast in their ability have to do with getting the maximum public benefits out of each project in exchange for the entitlement they get to bills from their proposal in the city. often time, these are very involved very challenging very complex transactions though i think what we are trying to do in the southern base context is look ahead in this number coming forward and how can we not only deal with all them coming through but hopefully use them to maximize the benefits back to the city by having a coordinated strategy. if i can get the slides, please? so, this slide is meant to give a little context. when people talk with the waterfront of san francisco, there's a lot of different parts of the waterfront and of different futures. if you start in the far left of this diagram, the bottom left, you see ocean beach in the orange-red color. we are to perceive as can change except by natural reasons the advancing sea level and how we safeguard that part of the city is camino ongoing conversation as well. as we move clockwise or on a while we get to the federal lands of the presidio and the golden gate national recreation area back parkland at marina green. all of these are protected by federal state and local law and we don't see a ton of development there were changes they are either. we move to the blue continuing clockwise and this is the classic san francisco waterfront the people conjure in their heads. this is the port of san francisco are largely pier's northeastern waterfront where there may be changes but in many cases this is very buildout and obviously the huge changes is very closely watched and potentially controversial. but when we get to the bottom to the yellow, it's basically the lan along the bayfront south of china basin, we see a part of the city where that's part of it is industrial past but definitely ticketed for a lot of growth in the near term and we saw that in the last item as well in the overlay maps. this part of the city ultimately what we are trying to do is think about it cohesively. to think about it this is the place where there's some consensus that growth can happen if managed correctly, we want to think about what is going to mean not only for the people coming here in the jobs coming here but for the people that already live here. it's hard to see because the close captioning but right now in this yellow shaded areas and 36,000 people already living nearby already 22,000 people working nearby. so the idea that we want to get across today is how can we channel this incoming investment to address not only the growth but also the people that are already there interactive hopefully lifted up by the growth. so, this map shows a series of master plan projects that are either in the pipeline were already approved along this waterfront. moving from the top of this map in the mission rock project a giant plot eight. the warriors arena recently approve the pure pier pier 70 [inaudible] energy site . the bluish square denotes the active industrial area of pier 80, 84 and 96. those will continue be industrial areas. we know those uses and jobs are needed in the cities of those areas won't be touched. but as we continue south, we see the pg&e the former hunters point site india basin project the shipyard candlestick project south of there an executive part, as you round out the map and the southbound towards the city line. so, altogether, all of these projects represent 20,000 new households. our goal for the waterfront this entire southern bayfront is to make sure 33% of those are affordable to below-market rates, which would be about 6600-67 a new affordable households with a neighbor preference program of 40% going to people in the local area or super supervisors district. that significant portion about 3000-2-3000 new affordable units available for people here already. we think that's a critical part of this plan and put those pieces together. in addition, there's an additional 520 acres of open space either in process were being put in place shipyard or planning and about once. obviously, that's a huge proportion i think it's happening in golden gate park and basically, the major amount of new open space coming into the city in the near-term. i want to-this slide zooms in the projects not yet been approved. so, that basically means the mission rock project among pier 70 energy site pg&e and india basin. all these are coming forward over the next couple of years. all at different points in the process. summer and ceqa some are getting it. but ultimately, when we saw this map combined with the , which is a timeline, i think our office realize that. as these projects come together, and one 2016 up your we generally think 27-2018 will see probably all five those projects come forward for approvals. we want to get ahead of the conversation about what we need is projects to do in a public benefit basis. so we initiated internal city agency means with a variety of agencies on number of which you seem to hear between your agency planning department landowner agency like performer rita bauman agency as well as port of san francisco. rec and park department. so all of these agencies have been meeting regularly to start thinking about what it is work on to create the framework for all these negotiations so we can ask for things and negotiate for things with all these developers in a way that creates a larger vision in a way that often time you see in a plan from the planning department but because each of these are individual negotiation that in it that together in different way. i guess what i would say is today you see the star at the bottom. today is part of our first sort of public effort to get out in front of boards and commissions work yourself during these items as well as community the areas around these projects to solicit your ideas and feedback about how you are doing this so that we can get ahead of these negotiations and present something that's hopefully well thought through and clear and ready for fine tuning consider major changes because we have not seen a very critical need. so, this slide is a little busy but i think it's meant to show the tactics we are trying to use to improve the situation were improve the agreements were able to strike. the top row of circles are the key tools that we have entered a bauman agreement to bring resources to these public benefits. development agreements can take impact fees are already required could also negotiate additional conjugations from developers and target things we know will need additional funding for the kind of impact that are common with the government are yet not being addressed other medication under ceqa. in addition, there's other public finance tools the we are definitely deploying at the port of san francisco and mission rock and pier 70 that we think and more efficiently deliver capital improvements and therefore try to grow the pie what each of these projects can do. these are now those special taxes which a voluntary tax that a landowner levies upon itself or herself that goes towards public facilities such as parks, streets open space transit facilities, etc. in addition, there's also what's called infrastructure financing district tax increment which is the successor to the redevelopment agency tax increment which is basically sayingrowth in taxes from the beginning of the development and its growth can be put back into that development or back into things that improve the infrastructure around that department. the board of supervisors adopted a policy that the increment that's been made available for the port projects will go back into that port projects and once those poor projects with intersection for those projects paid off the board's policy says that money would then go to improve the cities see what could again think about the sea level rise consideration those mentioned earlier. similarly, the special taxes if they landowner chet chooses to levy a fund to him or herself same dynamic applies to it once those are paid with the initial infrastructures. october 30-40 years, the taxing authority would want to keep out their great undue source again, to pay for sea level rise adaptation. so what were saying each of these components as a marketing measure is quick to raise itself and going to throw money to protect what's around him to great the network we need to protect ourselves from rising sea levels. then, lastly, when arrived to the subject matter areas were looking. honestly the big one is transportation and probably pains go talk more detail about apple were looking about open space job growth and opportunities for small businesses, economic and workforce development sea level rise protection i just talked about affordable housing. committee facilities, were looking with help with the planning department, what is the need for things like committee facilities, like the police stations grocery stores, to make sure the service levels we will see in this city is the thing that the rest of the circuit sustainability obviously key and eight era of rising sea level and climate change to make sure these developers as cutting-edge as possible using as little water as possible using as much on potable water for nonreportable use as possible. then equity and diversity trying to figure out ways to interact with the southeast community of the city which has obviously seen underinvestment in past decades but we like to get together as part of this new growth again to lift all with bold part of the city has a gross and accommodate the people coming here. now all enough to ms. payne >> take you mr. martin. >> thank you. carly ping mta. as we look at the transportation component of the forthcoming negotiations in this overall approach, -can you put this slide back up? thanks. we first want to look at what do we already have slated in this area either fully planned and funded work in the works? so, in the near-term but interesting and exciting is there's a lot of long-term eight projects that are very close to being delivered. the transbay terminal. the central subway the associated key third line increasing frequency, the blue-green light improvements at the place facility which will result in overall system improvements and performance and reliability. then, we also have a host of more localized improvements that are really aimed to increase accessibility for my safety and overall system improvements and these are bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure expansion of bike share throughout this area . intersection improvements and other treatment. between the first slide and the second side curmudgeon show you, not all of those projects are as of mta projects but to give a sense of what our agency's investment already is in this near-term within this southern southern bayfront area commander capital improvement program between now and 2021, the over $1.4 billion invested this air. so, as you know, projects in our cip are projects where there is funding identified. so these are real projects with real plans and delivery program. now, looking up to the midterm, we have additional projects. there that are on the horizon such as caltrain extension, the 16th st., terry lamb. geneva hardy prt and others that we are hard at work on and it will continue to increase access and mobility in this area. beyond that, there are additional efforts that were putting with regional agencies on to bring even more options, whether it's core capacity improvements were second title for part were other projects. so, as we think about the negotiation wednesday by think of you things are important to point out. each one of these projects that transportation obligations. our goal is to have these projects collaborate with each other and through their obligations and the commitment, so that we are seeing a greater contribution and greater benefit than if we approach these projects on an individual basis. the kinds of obligations i'll be seeing and the kinds of benefits will be seen are kind of in three categories. first, the localized infrastructure. by that, i really mean things like ensuring that this consistent and contiguous bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across neighboring sites like pier 70 and an rg and other safety improvements throughout the area. the second is investment in our transit system over all those kinds of things could be purchasing rail vehicles or contributions to our maintenance facilities there really help this area but also help the system overall. the third area is really looking at how these projects fit into those longer-term big moves changes and contributions for improvements in our system like the core capacity project. of course, we will also be asking the projects to really think about how they manage-how they shape trips to dissertation demand management. as mike said, all of these projects, once they are actual specific proposals, will be coming forward to the sport. so, we've presented today is our early approach to addressing them and looking at them as a whole. so, with that were happy to take questions from for me or my colleague >> thank you. very thoughtful present ticket vendors of the board, questions or comments? >> just a few comments thank you ms. payne and mr. mond good presentation. i am pleased to see all the components especially sort of the economic and workforce and the equality and equity components because i can only imagine how nervous people get when we talked about the development of that area. what kind of contains what some of our still more affordable neighborhoods in that area. so i am pleased to see that. looking at the map-i can't switch pages very quickly on this one. this much housing going on that area. i see were going to the t-third took greater frequency as you said ramping up as the moment comes along. you did mention the bike and pedestrian improvement should i just want to touch on that again because i think it's so important that we recognize that people can and will walk pretty fair distance to get a one seat ride to their destination. i want to make sure that we really focus on making those walking and biking corridor but only as space is possible but as present as husband there are walks were willing to do because they're lovely in the box are pretty sure dinner trees and pretty things to look at there are what's that are equal distance we just want to because it's a long 8 unpleasant st. or across a nasty street that doesn't feel safe. i just wonder bring that up and remind us all, even though sort of belfast prt or new bus line were t-third minority on everyone's back door, the contrary to what we are from some are young to me or shuttle users and people are willing to walk a fair distance to get to the efficient transportation that could take them to their destination. other than that i think a great presentation and it was perfectly appropriate right up to the land-use one in front of it. so thank you >> director ramos >> i would love to hear if there's been any movement at all around addressing some of the concerns the speaker earlier mentioned about not wanting to pay for the deaf improvements that might be required to prevent sea level rise or any of that. i'm speaking expressly of the financial districts were anything to that effect. if we could hear a little bit more about what efforts are underway now for my if any to get that done if we might be helpful at all in helping to facilitate that, the creation of those districts? >> thank you very much for the question. so, right now, in the term sheets for the two port projects, these two districts are definitely going to be [inaudible] because of how much concern has heightened over sea level rise, we see this as something that's a must for all these bayfront of elements. were so, i would say the mello roos special taxes the tax and command keys because that one is my type in how much we need to come from the general fund for day-to-day service to address the growth as well. but the new money the new taxes, this was something ashley pioneered at treasure island which is super impacted by sea level rise. they were saying were going to have these taxes quoted on upfront actually pay off building outlets keep letting him and by the cost of living here. by doing so, i think what we been able to do is really expand the conversation along undetected right now, if we did nothing know sea level rise the sea level the big level is rising over some uncontaminated legend now you've got lands are being cleaned up. bands elevated for the safety of people that live there and hopefully money being thrown off to devise adaptation strategies for areas that are not currently funded. the port is going through i believe $8 million of planning money over the next two years to address the seawall in the embarcadero. for both seismic and sea level rise adaptation strategies and i think the dollars that the port gets personal from its own development as was hopefully eventually from the infrastructure financing district to be a down payment on what is going to be a thing to-$5 billion project. suddenly not anything that sort of us of the problem in april, but it's one of those things that think were not cobbled together sources like this to address the magnitude of the problem of the city surrounded on three sides by water. >> can i ask is so much fun in the might get generated from any those mechanisms might any of that funding bill towards some of the transportation infrastructure that's talked about as well in addition to the climate change mitigation? >> yes. i think we very much want to do that. i think of three buckets mentioned, we would love to see those tools in the near-term first finance what's needed now in terms of those better connections to the
