4:34 am
very historical, showing you the history of sales tax revenue. starting in 2004 we collected 68 million revenues. we had an all-time high in 2007, collecting again in 2008-2009, but collecting plastic in revenues. supervisor mar: that is including the creep upwar? >> the next slide that we have is the fiscal year 2011-2012
4:35 am
expenditures. 90% is for capital projects and expenditures. the past pay projects, they are sf -- pedestrian, bicycle programs. the debt service expenditures represents the fine surface of the other personnel expenditures, which are equivalent to the 42nd authority. $2.3 million. it says that $1.4 million is needed for operating expenses when office supplies, a contract, printing, anything that you need to print off is
4:36 am
included. what program includes overseeing the prop k sales tax measure program? we also served in that function for san francisco, acting as the local manager for the tsa funds program. this year the administrator florida new cop program. in case you apply for strategic plan, the past vehicle license for vehicle registration fees ,tfea programs, monitoring regional funding revenue coming through. moving on to the capital projects program, our main project will be led by the interchange improvement project.
4:37 am
we are taking the lead in san francisco on the california high-speed rail project. the second project is a market street project working under transportation plans and various other projects within san francisco. the technology services division is our section that provides modeling support. it provides modeling services for other agencies and private sector uses. working on the demand model, they provide a i.t. development. unless we have the finance administration section, budget development, obviously we take care of the budget development every fiscal year. taking care of the billing, accounting, lbe program, the
4:38 am
human resources function, and the paper program management. with that, let me remind you that this is an information item. we are here to seek any items from you for the budget. you will be seeing this budget for a final look at next month's meeting. supervisor mar: thank you, colleagues. are there any questions? thank you for such great detail 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
4:39 am
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 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
4:40 am
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 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,
4:41 am
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. 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
4:42 am
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. >> 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.
4:43 am
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 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.
4:44 am
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. i think that he will give us a fair fight. we have our work cut out for us on this measure. we thought that we had some sympathy going in the committee in terms of reaching consensus in the legislature. ntc was very vigorous in its support for the bill and were able to convince the folks that it was an isolated pocket of resistance within the region.
4:45 am
so, that was all that took. supervisor elsbernd: in terms of ultimate outcome and the prognosis? >> the best place to make a stand -- make a stand is senate trans. i know that the executive director is working with the mayor's office on trying to quantify some of the impact in terms of programming decisions that are at risk on a note -- on an ongoing basis, embellishing our case. i think that it is the place to make our stand. unfortunately, the population center in the state favors the south and most of the committees reflect that. supervisor cohen: in terms of -- supervisor elsbernd: in terms of timing, how do you see it going through? >> june, possibly july.
4:46 am
it might well be -- referred, as it was here, the policy -- it might well be double-referred, as it was here. after the summer recess there is only a few short weeks. it will be fast and furious once they come back from july. supervisor mar: thank you very much. >> if you have any other questions, i will answer them. supervisor mar: this is an information item calling for an action item. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing no one, public comment is closed. move forward with a positive recommendation. next item? >> introduction of new items. and information item. supervisor mar: is there anyone
4:47 am
from the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing no one, public comment is closed. please call the next item. >> item #8, public comment. supervisor mar: are there any members of the public that would like to speak? seeing no one, public comment is closed. please call the next item. >> item #9, adjournment. supervisor mar: thank you for coming out today. >> good morning, everybody.

those kids have their hands up. why? i have had three, in my last one was here. i am a happy guy whenever i come out here. and of course, i wanted to brag before i teach the kids humility, right? anyway, i am out here with good friends. certainly sandy tatum, who i have worked with for the last two years, who helped initialize the whole first program when we started partnering with the pga. thank you for all your contributions. and you know, the first tee program, the partnership with the unified school district, and then this year with the help of pg&e, to really expand that to the fourth and fifth graders, that is a fantastic contribution.
4:52 am
i want to thank peony because last week, we -- pg&e because last week, we were doing contributions getting ready for earthquakes, helping our youth there. i want to thank again pg&e for being good corporate partners of the county of san francisco. i want to thank the first tee program. i know a lot of members of the board of directors are here today. it is totally of voluntary efforts to help our kids learn the game of golf, but learn the honest values, the integrity, the sportsmanship that golf brings. and ultimately, the humility that also requires you to have. wherever you go -- in the latest example -- i hit 16 shots before they finished 1 hole, and still, they finished the whole
4:53 am
round. that was this past weekend. understanding, and humility, but also other values. kids are in for a wonderful experience when you take up the game of golf. i know you're going to love playing this game, but you are also going to love how you get support from all of us. this program is a wonderful program. we have funded it. we have been finding it. this place has been posting the charles schwab cup of four years. it will be right here with all the past pga champion spirited play the final, most important round of the season here, and it is a wonderful contribution these professional players have with the first tee program. that is wonderful.
4:54 am
it is a wonderful relationship we have with our school district. that is what it is all about. giving hope to the kids. support for them. they are going to take this specialized fitness that pg&e is trying to fund, to use its -- to use it so they can learn golf skills of visitation valley, one of the first areas we opened up. i am so proud of this whole area. being a mayor who plays golf -- i am so humbled by being mayor. i am humbled by the game of golf. i learn something every single time i play this game. but i also played a lot in the city of san francisco. it is such a wonderful game for everyone in the city to have, including all of you 300 kids.
4:55 am
thank you for coming out. >> and now pg&e president chris dunn. i know you would like to talk next. >> thank you. we are excited to be part of this program and working in collaboration with first tee, is a great organization in the city and county of san francisco and the school district. it is an honor to be here today. mayor, i have had many, many more hole in one span three, but unfortunately they were on a putt-putt course. [laughter] my golf game itself is humiliating. it is actually humbling all the time. it is a lot of fun to play. you are going to have a great opportunity, because you are going to be able to learn a lot about lifelong values. this will serve you well.
4:56 am
not just in school. but throughout your life. the great part is you get to have fun doing that. you get to play golf while you are doing that. it is going to be a great time for you. i have been blessed in meeting a lot of students to have gone to a first tee program and they have gone on to great things in college and post-college. and they've learned a lot of important things through the program. i encourage all of you to take full advantage of it, to play golf, to enjoy your whole time in the first tee program. we are happy to be a part of the. we are offering a check to fund some of the activities, and i am thrilled to give you that.

[laughter] >> deputy superintendent caramba, would you like to come up? >> mr. mayer, hole in one --that is impressive. i think i have the record for a hole in ten. [laughter] by was bragging about the fact

[yelling] ooh, that was a big breath. that is the last time you can yell that loud on of golf course. mr. mayor, thank you for why you and pg&e are doing for the children of san francisco. these are difficult times when things are caught and scaled back. physical education does not have to be something you do when time of the day or one half hour of the day. it is a lifelong skill but all
4:59 am
of our students will be able to use as they grow older and hopefully get better on the golf course. we want to thank you on behalf of all the 65,000 san francisco unified school district students. thank you to pg&e for giving us an opportunity to introduce the sport of golf to the students of san francisco. as a san franciscan and a father, i will come out here and continue to train and practice and try to get that hole in 10 down to maybe of hole in five. i want to introduce a supervisor in the physical education department -- thank you. and her name is michelle. michele, could use that up, please? -
