>> do you do that electronically? >> that is correct. >> it will no to flip to four- hour increments. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for covering my last question. the sunday parking, i want to get back to that. did we look at areas -- a lot of the areas are mixed use areas. there is commercial at the bottom, but presidential at the top. are we telling residents that you are paying for parking because there are no garages. did we look at neighborhoods that had mixed use?

>> are meters are primarily in commercial areas. -- our meters are primarily in commercial areas. people are paying for parking on saturdays, mondays through fridays. we're not making a distinction by use type. the premise is that the activity on a sunday is much like it is on a saturday. albeit starting later. therefore, we should manage it accordingly. i am not sure if that answers. >> looking at -- and going back to the top on the shoulder, some of those institutions are located in a mixed use areas as well. my concern is that having -- will be four hours be enough?

>> on the newer meters, we are proposing not to start this until january. at some point in the next calendar year, we would have all the new meters. you can prepay. you could pay at 10:00, but it will start ticking down until noon. -- won't start ticking down until noon. that flexibility will be there for the new meters. they will be everywhere in the city in the year and a half. >> i am not clear on the impact on the business community. >> with regard to the business community, right now, those spaces are completely unavailable to people accessing those businesses by car.

the parking is on managed. from saturday night to monday, people can and to leave their cars. the availability data seems to support the notion that the parking is pretty much locked up all day on sunday and most of these areas. the businesses are getting no benefit, or very minimal benefit from those parking spaces without any management by regulating parking for a portion of sundays, that would lead to increased availability, which would be helpful to businesses who are being patronized by people who are accessing the my car. -- by car. the business issue -- the business use is i do not want tr businesses, but the businesses every other day of the week. it is not different on sundays.

most of them are now open on sundays. >> not to prolong it, i did some driving around the mission district, a lot of those businesses are closed on sunday. presidents have an opportunity to not fight for parking on sunday -- residents have an opportunity to not fight for parking on sunday. it seems like there is a catch- 22. the sunday parking is a catch-22 for businesses and residents, that is what i am trying to say. >> residents and commuters are benefiting from the policy of not managing parking on sundays. that is a policy i would suggest that is not consistent with our transit first policy. this would be difficult for people. there are some people who are benefiting from a free parking that will lose that benefit. that is correct. >> cannot something -- can i say something? i have been doing this for a

couple of years. not many. i certainly have not seen a budget proposal that have the chamber of commerce and the transit riders union complement our executive director and staff for putting together a budget that was responsible and addressed import needs. i want to say that. i know it has been a tough day. i hope you caught that and appreciated it. and you and your staff take the praise. one thing that has gotten not enough attention, but is so critical as we think about this, there are so many things we would love to spend money on. this budget represents a significant, not a panacea, but a significant commitment to maintenance. as those of us to ride the system every day know, that is what service is about. i think on the whole, you heard

my specific questions, i do not want to lose sight that you have done a very positive job. i want to provide the feedback. >> thank you. i would also like to thank you for the overtime peace. thank you for addressing that. >> i was not going to say too much other than just what -- i thoroughly commend you and your staff for all this great work you have done. i was heading into this thing so scared. people are so afraid that we will have to cut service. there were a lot of folks that are worked out. do you think we have gone so far and we are disclosed to adopt in this budget says quite a bit about yourself and your staffs. i am very grateful for the

progressive thinking. at this point, i will take it for what it is worth. i appreciate the hard work you've done. >> the cac has recommended a higher cash fair. -- fare. i would urge is to continue to look at the flexibility the part-time operators give us, but the smaller buses on the list utilize route. that is a way that could be some latitude as a future revenue source. >> just a couple of comments. i know we got a lot of public feedback on the sunday meters. the point -- we do need to

institute that. policy change always hurts. i think the charging for sunday meters, we have come to a good compromise. it is totally supported by our strategy and our goal. i know we talked about the court cost being past dawn on the ticket and will be interesting to find out if that can be called out on the ticket. if it can be listed as a line item. i know you made a note to look in -- what did that. it can become excellent. i missed that. i was pleased to see that we added a modest increased to the meter bagging fee. it did seem unfair. as we mentioned in a previous meeting since we are talking about the transit sustainability feet, we want to hold off on

hitting that meter bagging fee very hard. it seemed unfair to do nothing, said that was a good compromise. i do not have any other comments. i have that all my questions answered. anybody else? ok. >> i just want to say that this is a budget i feel very confident about. i want to thank -- for their work on that. this is reasonable, this is doable. i want to thank you for that. >> thank you for your work. do we still need closed session? >> we have capital budgets. if you want to hear that -- >> do you want to continue the matter? >> it is really brief. it will have to come back next time.

>> do we want to continue, given the hour? >> i am ok. >> you are okay to go live? >> let's do it. >> item 16, adopting the capital improvement program and approving the two-year cabral budget of $537 million. >> all right. >> i think i can make my report shorter than that. [laughter] i will walk through a brief presentation. you have already approved the

20-year capital plan. you already have the five-year at a high level presented to you. what this item is approving the five-year capital of improvement program and the two-year capital budget. it is much along the lines of what you've seen before. if we can get the slides. is that sfgtv? the context, we start with a 20- year plan. it is a look at all of our capital needs, all of our assets, everything we would need to do. in that unconstrained view, we established public -- policy priorities. that is what you adopted earlier this calendar year. from that, we have developed a five-year look ahead based on the revenues we anticipate. this is a constraint view.

we look -- we take these logger looks because many programs take a long time to develop. many take more than a few years to implement. the five-year document is a constraint to look at what we anticipate our revenues to be over the next five years. and how we propose to expand them. we take the first two years of that five-year cip and put those forth as the proposed capital budget. the goals are to develop a detailed program and this presentation will hit on the highlights. the materials, you had every project that we are proposing. a detailed program that is achievable and realistic. we are completely funding projects in phases, so we will fully fund the design phase, the planning phase and the design phase, and in the construction

phase. so we're not waiting until we have all the money to move a project forward. didn't -- giving the planning and design done helps us secure grants for the construction. we are proposing 10% of what we are budgeting be set aside so we are programming 90% of the revenues, leaving the other 10% for flexibility and for the uncertainty as we know projects involve overtime. costs can go up, costs can go down. so we can implement without having to go back through the budget process. from our strategic plan, we are directly hitting on some of the main objectives of the plan as it regards to safety, a state of good repair, reliability. as was the 20-year capital

plan, the five and two-year plan and are organized along the 16 capital programs. the revenues are based on our best guess is. in terms of what we expected it from the federal government, the state government, from the region, from our own initiatives. the revenue bonds that we're bringing forward to the board of supervisors tomorrow. what that gets us next year is $550 million and in the second year, $473 million. that is in addition to $600 million of previously approved funds that we expect will be the balances of the projects that are currently in play. a big chunk of all those numbers is the central subway, but the 550, 472, plus the 590

are what we haven't played for the next two years. -- have in place for the next two years. i know it is difficult to read, but this gives the breakdown for each of the five years. it shows what we are programming in the two years once you include the amounts. the 590, 470, 550 -- i cannot even read it on your. you can see how it breaks down among the different line items. the central subway, which has its own dedicated funding source that is not available for any of these other purposes, is a significant portion of what we're looking at. we still they pretty healthy capital budget for the next two years, even before the look at the carryforward amounts. we estimated that we need about $250 million for our mission critical trenton state of good

repair. we have a pretty significant level -- transit state of good repair. in terms of our top priorities, safety. under state of good repair, thanks to a lot of good work to rework the line item in the capital plan. we would not see any new vehicles coming to the city for the next five years. in the first couple of years, we will get moving on 150 new electric and motored buses. we have significant level of fines for traffic signals upgrades to rehab this sunset tunnel.

the wreath at the green mans facility, we are about to start the -- the roof at the green at maintenance facility, we are about to start that project. it is being done under very suboptimal conditions. something that is long past needing restoration. metro turnaround, kind of a key juncture for the underground system. all of our trains run through. here. that will happen in the next two years. 18 parking garages. on the safety side, we have everything from infrastructure in the ground, such as pedestrian flashing, bicycle safety education classes. we will continue implementation of the safe routes to school.

as well as additional traffic signals at five intersections. these are very much in demand across the city. in terms of reliability, transit signal priority, this is funded in part by the bond that was passed last year. we are also seeking additional funds from the region through transit priority initiatives. it is a $30 million grant program. we do have mobility improvements. these are improvements that falls outside of the scope of the environmental impact report. improvements that we can make now on the 14, 8. i will point out that the 8x had

identified the lifeline funds as a funding source. i revised budget uses those funds. that is something we will have to find another source for. standardizing the signals throughout the muni metro system. right now, we have different generations of signals. it requires our operators to learn how to remember the different signalling protocols. for the safety and reliability standpoint, we are going to modernize and standardize all the signals. finally, we have the next phase of funding inc. on the complete streets, we have a number -- funds for a number of projects that you will have

approved. designs and plans for, such as masonic ave. process forward. it is the next necessary steps for some future branch or other city or regional funding. what we're also doing in conjunction with the deal bond is we are joining with dpw where they have paving projects. in has crosswalks, bike lanes, other improvements we can make at the same time. we can get our improvements much more inexpensive lead. -- inexpensively. when we are doing transit projects, we have a complete

street enhancements to better address pedestrian and bite safety. we have funds available to continue round out transit projects and make them more complete street projects. those are some highlights of what is in the budget. it is a pretty healthy budget that we are proud to be able to bring forward. it does -- it assumes continued funding at the federal level along the lines of what we currently have. the federal transportation bill is very much in play at the moment. it will not likely be reauthorize it until after the november election. it has been pretty strong support for at least maintaining the current funding levels. that is what we have a stamp. we assume that our revenue bond and moves forward. we're assuming that much of the improvements would funded by jill bond. that has to get into that -- by

geobond. there are some risks associated with the capital budget. just the way there are with the operating budget. we have pretty healthy funding levels that allow us to advance a lot of the goals of the strategic plan. >> thank you during a match. directors, questions? -- thank you very much. directors, questions? >> no member of the public was here to address you on the capital budget. but we do have public comment for matters that are not on the agenda. >> on page five, i am noting the bicycle pedestrian spending is going down dramatically as we move along the gears. is that because it is being -- i know that safety goes up.

it was under system safety. should i be worried about that given that we have a lot of bicycle and pedestrian mode shifts in our goals and strategies? >> i am not sure what you were looking at exactly. the bike line item has the bike-specific funding. we are funding to our transit projects. we are adding bike lanes to transit projects. i do not know beyond that, if there is any specific explanation. >> ibm noticing specifically on the pedestrian -- i am noticing it specifically on the pedestrian line. >> most of these projects are

funded through competitive grants. until we are sure that we can get it, we do not normally bulk of the funds. >> thank you. -- book the funds. >> thank you. we will move onto the general public comment. >> do we have a member of the public who wishes to speak with you? >> the member of the public with the most stamina. thank you very much, sir, for waiting. >> i know the hour is late. i do think it is important to stay here and address in a very important issue. i have been very critical of the agency on things in the past. i've always been supportive of the challenges this agency has about tax reform. i've always been complementary

on the way this agency has tried to tackle the issues. i am amazed that we are able to put in such a successful pilot program that can raise a lot of revenue for the city and in power working drivers. one of the things i want to mention, one of the great things about the taxi industry, it has made sure of the medallions get into the hands of working taxicab drivers. as much as i support the city selling these medallions to taxi drivers, they are very and valuable, they can raise enormous revenues for the city, i want to give you a warning. one of the things you are looking to do is replace the medallion holder with feet mta as a landlord. there will be enormous push back from drivers that said the

opportunity of getting a medallion. when you go down this path of granting the medallion out and replacing the medallion holder with the mta, there will be enormous pushed back. you are getting into the taxi business partially. there will be people who say, you want to be a landlord, maybe you should be part of the insurance. maybe if there is an accident, you deal with it. maybe you should provide workers' compensation. why don't you take all the reward without the risk to become the landlord -- i want to warn you. it is not the direction you want to go into. you could raise an enormous amount of revenue by continuing the sales model and be wary of the rental one. >> thank you. >> if there is no one else wishes to address the board, it would be appropriate for a motion to move into closed session.

>> motion to move into closed session. let's go into closed session. if we could just clear the room.
