other urban amenities to create a livable, revitalize neighborhood, and whereas as a supervisor and member of the board, he has been passionate about providing increase affordable housing throughout san francisco, due in large part to his leadership on this issue, the program will result in 2600 new homes, 35% of which will be affordable, and whereas the joint powers authority has greatly benefited from the passion, knowledge, wisdom, experience, determination, and integrity that he has brought to the tjpa's decision for the past nine years, and whereas his faithful and effective advocacy on behalf of the transit center program at the san francisco board of supervisors, the metropolitan transportation commission, and the county transportation authority greatly contributed to the success of the program and its major funding milestones over the past decade, and whereas the successful launch of the trans bay transit center program, the

critical reseed of $400 million in stimulus funds, and the continued recognition of the importance of the program to the nation, the state, and the region is directly attributable to the strong guidance and influence of chris daly in working toward program goals, and whereas he will be leaving as a member of the san francisco board of supervisors in january 2011 and will also leave his position as a director of astransbay joint powers authority, -- director of the trasnbay joint powers authority, the authority wishes him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors, and i want to say on my behalf and certainly on behalf of staff how much we have really appreciated all your efforts, directors. your courage, your integrity has just been commendable, and i want to thank you for all the

years you fought along our side. you did fight the hard battles with us till the wee hours of the moment, and at all times, you have conducted yourself with honor. even when things were not necessarily popular, you were there for us. but for your support and help all these years, we would not be here today. i personally want to thank you. i want you to know that i'm going to miss you terribly. we hope that we can continue to have you involved in our project. we want to make sure -- and invite you to the major milestones and keep you apprised. thank you very much for everything you have done. you are a good man, and we tell everybody that. thank you. director ford: i would like to follow up -- well, director cohen. director cohen: i was in public

service with supervisor daly for about 10 years. there were many issues over those 10 years that we were not on the same side. it was a matter of public policy, but it was really nice to have the opportunity on a project to be on the same side of an issue. as formidable of an adversary that you were, you were a better ally, so i appreciate that and wish you the best of luck. >> it has been a pleasure to work with chris, to follow his career, of stand-downs', nays and yeas. good luck. thank you. director ford: it has been a pleasure to have you on this board, and i think we have done

some great work over the past few years of advancing this project. the staff has brought us good decisions, and we have been able to support them the majority of the time. they have brought things before us, and largely due to your advocacy for this project and your discerning the critical issues from a policy standpoint, we have been able to accomplish a great deal, and you will be missed. i really enjoyed working with you in your capacity as a director of this board, and i look forward to working with you in the future because i know you are going to be around. thank you. director daly: thank you. i'm going to take a very brief moment. let me thank maria and the whole tjpa family for your work. if you sit on enough of these boards, you realize that while

technically, the staff works for the board, in reality, in terms of the labor of love and the time and effort and energy, the board's really do work for the staffs. fortunately, we have a very good one here. thank you to my colleagues, present and past, here on the tjpa. i have only been here for eight years. i think tony really wanted to be here when i was first elected, and for some reason, acquiesced. but it is not really in my nature to not see things through to final completion, so i'm really not ready to go. and somehow my goal is still here. [laughter] i figured there has got to be a way that i can hang on. but probably, i will just have

to secret development through to near completion, and the actual digging and contract letting and construction will have to be overseen by others that follow, but they will have pretty much the same staff and family here doing the work, so the project is in very good hands. thank you very much. one other point -- i was doing one of these interviews, and they asked me about transbay, and i was not even thinking. it was probably on my phone or my i had doing something else, and i was giving an interview at the same time, and i just went into the talking points about climate change and a new neighborhood and affordable housing, and i was talking 40 we

will or three minutes of ourtransbay -- about transbay not paying attention, and i had to stop myself and say that i was really giving the talking points, but when i stop to think about it, this is an incredible project, and i probably have been rounded and involved in too long to fully appreciate how incredible it is. you have to take a few steps back to look at it, and if you think about the -- about climate change, about the future of the state of california and our transportation systems, if you go to enough regional government meetings and talk about regional airport expansion and you have that kind of perspective, trust me, this is huge. it has been my honor, my pleasure to have been part of it over the last eight years. thank you. director ford: ok, do i have a

motion? it has been moved and seconded. all those in favor? you can abstain. ok. all right, we have 3 ayes and one abstention. >> item 15 is a resolution of appreciation for director mark church, who was unable to be here. >> i have a resolution to read for director church. where is mark church is san mateo county supervisor has served as the board of directors at the trans the joint power authority since 2009, representing the joint powers board and where is the trans the joint powers authority has greatly benefited from the experience and knowledge that mark church has brought to the decisions of the authority and where is the accomplishments of the joint powers authority would not have been possible without the guidance and assistance of mark church, and whereas in june 2010, mark church was elected by the voters of san mateo county to serve as county clerk

recorder and chief elections officer and he will be relieving his position as director of the board, therefore be it resolved that the trend a power authority expresses its most sincere appreciation for the work of mark church as a member of the board of directors and be it further resolved that the director of the authority which is mark church continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors. if you could convey to director church our sincere appreciation, thank him on our behalf. certainly when he was most needed, he certainly was there for us, and we appreciated his support and always making himself available to staff to meet with him and seek his guidance on many critical issues, so please, thank him on our behalf. >> i will. and mark asked me to express his gratitude for this award yesterday at our board meeting, we recognize them also because his new position will require

his not being on or not allow us to be on these various boards. mark also said please extend to all of you his regrets at not being able to make all the meetings, which was good for me because i got to come, but he is now chairman of the state seismic safety committee, and they have been meeting on the same date and time as this group does, but he says thank you and stay in touch, and i will see him tomorrow. thank you very much. director ford: pass on our appreciation from colleagues at the board. thank you. motion to approve? it has been moved and seconded. motion carries. >> item 15 is approved. at this time, you are scheduled to go into closed session.

we have not received any indication that a member of the public wishes to address you on the item. so you have an opportunity to do so now. we will go ahead and clear the room. dictor ford: ok.

>> i work with the department of environment and we are recycling oil. thank you. we can go into a refinery and we can use it again. they do oil changes and sell it anyway, so now they know when a ticket to a. hal>> to you have something you want to get rid of? >> why throw it away when you can reuse it? >> it can be filtered out and used for other products. >> [speaking spanish]

>> it is going to be a good thing for us to take used motor oil from customers. we have a 75-gallon tank that we used and we have someone take it from here to recycle. >> so far, we have 35 people. we have collected 78 gallons, if not more. these are other locations that you can go. it is absolutely free. you just need to have the location open. you are set to go.

february and start negotiating with the mayor's office in terms of what is in the budget, what funding priorities they have. between then and june 1 when the mayor's office released the budget, the budget is modified. it may be modified to additional revenue projections, updated revenue projections so that february 2 is just a preliminary departmental proposal. it is a first pass. between then and june 1, the budget could change drastically based on conversations we have with the mayor's office. >> six months after june 1, is there a check back in with this commission to see where we are landing and what the forecast may look like? >> that is what is basically on slide four, a look at where we are in terms of revenues after the november mark.

we will do a more formal update after the six months when we have a little more data, but this is based on data through november. >> that is essentially what we're trying to do today. we do not have december figures yet. we will give you more detailed updates in january, but to answer your first question about the unfunded projects on this list, the couple projects do have the potential for funding, what is the america's cup, and there is a local funding entity raising money for the city's costs with respect to the america's cup, and we think our costs will be part of that. then, there is some money from the redevelopment agency, so i do not want to portray the fact that we have $0 on these projects. the agency has given us what they can at this point in time. we will need more funding next year, which is why we added it. >> great, thank you.

commissioner miguel: thank you. is there any public comment on this item? public comment is closed. >> commissioners, if there are no other commission comments on this item, and it does not appear as though ms. rogers is here yet, you can move forward on your calendar to general public comment. this has a 15-minute time frame. members of the public may address you on items of interest to the public within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. members of the public may address you for up to 3 minutes, keeping in mind that the category has a 15-minute time limit and that they may not address you on any items not scheduled on today's calendar. >> i have [inaudible]

at the market. yesterday, i reviewed commissioner sugaya's comments. before that, he mentioned some negative comments about a few restaurants, and i just want to clarify that -- we are fully complying, and we are in -- doing our business as we are supposed to. we first originally made the mistake due to a misunderstanding but then corrected it, and i hope we come before you in the near future. that is what i want to say. thank you. commissioner miguel: thank you. francisco da costa. >> commissioners, as the

director of environmental justice advocacy, i want to bring to your attention a few points. one, there is this perception and idea put forward that in the future in san francisco, there is a demand for hundreds of thousands of homes. commissioners, if you read the daily news, listen to the federal reserve board, listen to the students, listen to anybody who knows something about the judiciary elements that govern this nation, it is going to take us some years to get back on track. i have spoken about this some time ago, and i'm going to speak again. the time has come before any

planning department to think outside the box. money is tight. in the past, what we did was we favored certain developers and treated other developers who did not have clout, and put their projects on the back burner, and we should apologize. the planning department should apologize for having gone in bed with the developers. not only that, former planning department heads now working with certain entities and certain projects where they do not work for the planning

department. they used to, but they still propagate that type of corruption, and i just came from the transbay meeting, where i saw some of those characters. i will name them on my website. i do not want to name them here. that is wrong. i'm glad that you have zoning administrator -- a young zoning administrator, and since you are a young man, this is your opportunity to take city planning and san franciscans to a better place, and you know what i mean by that. i would like to commend those commissioners who have fought for bayview
