3:54 pm
in each of the five areas. really well done. if there are no other questions, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing no one, public comment is close. thank you for the informational items. please call the next item. >> federal legislature, action item. supervisor mar: taking the long walk? >> i apologize, usually i said in the front row. we are in the middle of legislation considering bills these days. your matrix has been updated with a significant number of new bills. out of them a but like to draw your attention to four -- out of them, i would like to draw your attention to four. the first is 8076 in the second
3:55 pm
is sb72, capping the expenditure on high-speed rail 18 bonds, essentially bringing the program to a halt. we have suggested a post- position employment fact. the first was heard yesterday and killed. i think that we can see the prognosis for the bill, sb22. i have three bills that we are recommending support for, the first is ab133, and i am sorry that i neglected to tell you which page these are on. ab133 is on page 3 of your matrix. it is a technical bill that opens the door for the high- speed rail authority to use federal funds that are allocated to the high speed rail
3:56 pm
authority for project purposes. there was a bill last year that did that, as well as a few other things, that were not successful. this year is to streamline high- speed authorization for access to federal funds received. we recommend support for that. in addition, this one deals with high-speed rail authority, in encouraging them to consider the impact on california jobs as they move forward on contracts. it does not prescribe a process. it will have force of law as a statutory section. they will be mandated to consider and develop the process to look for ways to enhance job development in the process they are embarking on. finally, ab 1041.
3:57 pm
this would allow the city of san francisco to continue to use video enforcement of traffic by a land -- in the lanes for transit use. so, that would continue and existing programs sponsored by the city and county. we felt that our support would assist books city representatives. supervisor mar: what was the number on that one? >> ab1041, page 11. sorry. supervisor mar: there was another, ab485, where you are recommending a watch on the local planning village transit development business.
3:58 pm
>> in essence it will allow transit village lot to have access to infrastructure development statute authority. it would open the requirements under the infrastructure development authority acts for a majority of the people to tender the feed. lending that authority to the transit village act. and i thought that i would complete with a bit of an update on 8057. barry rafik, a great outpouring of support -- very rough, but a great outpouring of support from your delegation. they walked into the room and sat down to testify. the opposition witness testified against the bill in strong terms. he was joined by the assembly
3:59 pm
member. it became a very vigorous discussion. ultimately, the bill passed out. that committee had been -- they had a number of members that resided entirely within santa clara county. going in, we have a feel for how that might turn out. the recommendation to the management here, and the city and county representatives, is that as this bill continues through the assembly and goes through appropriations, we need to jump ahead and start working the senate transportation committee, so they do not wait for that activity. that committee is not welcoming for northern california and has very few representatives, but does have knowledgeable chairman.
