-- supervisor at delonte, aye. supervisor avalos, aye. to pressure campos, of aye. -- supervisor campos, aye. supervisor cohen, aye. supervisor elsbernd, no. eight ayes and three nos. president chiu: on the balance of the amendment -- on the balance of the amendments. supervisor farrell, aye. supervisor kim, aye. supervisor a lucky, aye. supervisor wiener, aye. supervisor avalos, aye. supervisor campos, aye. president chu,i, aye.

supervisor to, aye. supervisor aye -- supervisor elsbernd, aye. >president chiu: with regards to this item as amended, madam clerk, is your suggestion we send this back to committee? >> mr. president, it would be fine to return it to committee. we would wait the 30 days for the ethics commission to return the report to the board. of course, public comment could be taken. is that required on this report? >> public comment would be taken when it comes back. if you refer to committee you should refer to the ethics commission where it will have a 30-hole. >> we will refer it immediately. >> i was --

wrsupervisor chu: thank you. president chiu: supervisor kim has made a motion to refer this back to the rules committee. is there a second? supervisor wiener. can we refer this without objection? without objection, that shall be the case. on item 23. supervisor kim: i would like to re-refer this to committee. president chiu: any discussion? >> supervisor campos: i wanted to make the point i am happy that we have come to what i believe is a resolution of these issues. i think that i know it is a lot of work to get to this point. i want to thank supervisor kim and her office for all the work they have done.

and -- as well as the other supervisors, supervisor farrell and supervisor elsbernd to raise the issues about the need to comply with the u.s. supreme court trader want to thank my staff and the folks who worked to have these items come forward. with respect to item 23, the hope is we will not need to go forward to the ballot. i think that it is great that we are where we are in terms of resolving these issues without doing that. thank you. supervisor elsbernd: this may come as a surprise but i came prepared to boat. it is inappropriate for this board to increase the amount of money individual members of the sport can receive by themselves. i think this issue is one that should go to the voters. while i find -- perplexing it would go to the june ballot, i got lectured a few times last week that measures regarding elections should not go on the june ballot, i was confused but

i was ready to vote for this. i think the voters should weigh in. if you look at the history of the public financing program for board of supervisors, it was the voters who created. this with the -- be the first time that elected officials, the board of supervisors have on their own without going to the voters voted to increase how much money is available to them. nine out of 11 of us have the ability to run for reelection. five of us very well could be doing that this fall. nine out of 11. tell me i'm wrong. supervisor chu and i are the only once turned down. nine of you are available if you so choose. correct me if i'm wrong. i think i can count tonight. i think it is inappropriate, highly inappropriate for members of this board to increase the amount of money they can get from the taxpayers. if you want this extra money, let the taxpayers vote for.

do not do yourself. i urge you to vote against this sends back to committee. but the voters decide. -- let the voters decide. supervisor wiener: i respectfully disagree. if i run for reelection, if i take financing, i would be entitled to less money than i got last time because my cap i and my race is exploded. president chiu would be in the same situation. it is not accurate to say that we are raising our own caps. in addition, it is entirely appropriate for this board to use the authority that the voters decided to give us in passing public financing where we are allowed to amend with eight votes and the ethics commission. there are ballot measures where the voters have not given us that authority. the voters have kept the power to themselves through prop e.

in this instance, the voters passed a ballot measure that provided a mechanism for us to make amendments without having to send it to the voters. i think it is appropriate for us to do that. if the voters disagree, we have the initiative power to change that. thank you. president chiu: is there any further discussion on this motion for this item back to committee. roll-call. >> supervisor farrell, aye. supervisor kim, aye. supervisor mar, aye. supervisor olague, aye. supervisor wiener, aye. supervisor avalos, aye. supervisor campos, aye. president chiu, aye. supervisor chu, no.

supervisor elsbernd. aye. president chiu: motion to refer back to committee passes. on march 20 which is the date we have sent the american cup items to three members of our board will not be here on that day. what has been proposed is that we rescind those boats and schedule the items for the 27th of march. with that information, i would like to entertain first a motion to rescind the boat with regards to item 26. supervisor chu has made the motions -- seconded by supervisor campos. i would like to entertain a motion right now. we had passed the march 20 date. i would -- motion made by supervisor chu, seconded by supervisor farrell. let me ask for -- there are

members of the public would like to speak on this rescheduling. seeing none, public comment is closed. with regards to the motion as amended. to amend this to march 27. madam clerk, would you take the role? >> supervisor farrell, farrell, aye. supervisor kim, aye. supervisor mark, aye. supervisor al-radhi, aye. supervisor wiener, aye. supervisor abels, aye. supervisor campos, aye. supervisor chu, aye. president chiu, aye. president chiu: if we could item -- recall items 20 and 21. if we could intertwine -- entertain a motion to rescind. our votes are rescinded.

and now i could entertain a motion to continue items 20 and 21 to the 27th of march. motion by supervisor chui and seconded by supervisor avalos. if we could take that to continue without objection, that shall be the case. madam clerk. please read the in memoriams. >> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals. for the late mr. chang and for the late mr. hodgson. president chiu: does that include our business? >> yes. president chiu: ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned.

commissioner campos: good morning and welcome to the tuesday put your 28th 2012

meeting of the san francisco county transportation authority. i would like to begin by thanking the staff of sfgtv who are covering this meeting. the clerk of the committee is erika cheng. please call item one. >> [roll call] we have a quorum. commissioner campos: thank you. please call item two. >> item 2. 31, 2012 and february 7, 2012 meetings. this is an action item. commissioner campos: is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is

closed. this is an action item. we have a motion by commissioner carmen chu and seconded by john i. avalos. can the tip of without objection? please call item three. >> chair's report. this is an information item. commissioner campos: i want to make a brief report. first of all, thank you for the opportunity to serve as the chair of the transportation authority. it has been a very busy first month and wanted to report on a number of things. first of all, we have some issues that come out -- came up in terms of the funding of the second phase for the presidio parkway. we just had a meeting with the mayor to discuss that. as you may be aware, that project will be delivered through a public-private partnership. we are very excited to see that move forward.

as you know, the first phase is nearing completion. the public-private partnership provides an opportunity to demonstrate that we can deliver on time on schedule, and frankly, transfer and a majority of the risk to the private- sector while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits that they provide. we have a funding strategy for closing the budget cap that has been identified. i did not want to go into the specifics of that but i want to thank the county transportation authority staff for their work in making that happen, as well as the mayor's office, for their collaboration and assistance from the mtc > let me also -- mtc. let me also talk about what is happening around high-speed rail. i want to thank commissioner wiener and his staff for

highlighting the issue and forgetting all the city partners on the same page around that important issue. i look forward to the opportunity to continue to have that discussion. in our meeting with the mayor today we emphasize the importance of the city speaking with one voice around high speed rail. i know there will be ongoing meetings to make sure that happens, and that will entail collaboration between the county transportation authority, mayor's office, mta, and mtc. i want to thank commissioner wiener for that. as i mentioned at the last meeting, we will be commencing a series of meetings with individual supervisors, commissioners, to talk about projects that are happening in the 11 super is oriole districts. you will be hearing from staff in the very near future to set those up.

i want to make sure that each one of you supervisors is aware of the projects happening in your district, make sure that you understand and are informed of the involvement of the transportation authority and those projects, and to the extent there are any concerns that may arise, make sure we are corrective in addressing those concerns. the one thing we want to avoid is having happened but last -- what happened last month in district 6. finally, i want you to know there is the legislative conference at the american public transportation association, march 11 through the 13th. i know in number of you have been invited to attend. i know our executive director and other staff will be going, and i plan to be there as well. we are still trying to finalize the details of that schedule. one of the objectives is to make

sure we also advocate for additional funding for many of the projects that are currently in the works. i look forward to providing you more information on that. beyond that, that is the end of my report. i do not know if there are any comments or questions from my colleagues are members of the public to want to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. please call item four. >> executive director's report. this is an information item. >> good morning, executive director. i have still to present to you meet annual report -- the annual report. i will keep my comments in line with that. i just wanted to clarify for you come as a corollary to the statement the chair just made about the funding arrangements

for resolving the funding issues for the second phase of the doral drive -- doyle drive. we are planning a short meeting next tuesday to take care of that. you will receive a notice on that soon. and i will keep my other comments for the annual report. commissioner campos: one of the things i tried to avoid is having the special meetings. please say why there is a need for a special meeting -- meeting, and the timing for this is such, unless action is not taken by a specific time, we may lose some funding. >> absolutely. this has been a very complex process getting a solution on the issue. it required i attend the transportation commission last

week and it required several other contacts the mtc, mayor's office. we really got resolution on this too late to note it for today. we do not have a choice, as far as not being able to deal with it today. we cannot wait until their regular march board meeting because they would be acting before that. they have to take action on the state transportation program the third week of this month. so we would be missing an opportunity and endangering the tfia loan the government will be giving us, as well as the project as a whole. we do not have a choice. i think the arrangement that we have reached is fairly straight forward. we should be able to have a meeting and get it by next tuesday. i apologize we have to do it that way. we already have enough meetings.

thank you for your patience on that. commissioner campos: thank you. any questions for the executive director? why don't we open it up to public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, please call item five. >> item 5. increase the amount of the professional services contract with wmh corporation by $4,300,000, to a total amount not to exceed $5,900,000, to complete preliminary engineering, environmental analysis, and design services of the yerba buena island bridge structures and authorize the executive director to modify contract terms and conditions. this is an action item. commissioner campos: thank you. items five through 11 are items that were heard and considered by the finance committee. i do not know if commissioner wiener has anything to add, as chair of the finance committee, to any of the items. commisioner wiener: no, mr. chair. commissioner campos: is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this

>> as you correctly said a moment ago, this is a statutory requirement for section 13 1.303 of the california puc. we do it as an annual report to be adopted by the board in january of each year. it is fitting to start with a quick analysis of trends, in terms of the programming of funds. the first thing that should be said is our revenue has increased by more than 10% over the calendar year 2011, up from $68 million in 2010, to over $75 million in 2011. at the same time, we experienced lower product delivery and demand for prop k funds than anticipated in the 2009 strategic plan update.

more availability of state funds -- bonds and federal bonds was the situation for us in terms of outside funding than originally expected. that led to the staff recommendation not to issue long-term debt, given the conditions on the ground. on page four of our presentation, i want to call your attention to the same trends, in terms of slower anticipated project delivery. you can see that on the first row, locations and to date of $588 million, expenditures of only $390 million. in the bottom row, a total of $853 million allocated by this board, but only $530 million

spent. obviously, we cannot rejoiced and a lot of the money allocated stays on the table because that money needs to be used for projects, otherwise, there are products escalation costs. inflation is hard to be on these things and we are always looking for the opportunity to expedite project delivery. that may give you a quick overview of other funds that have come our way, especially stimulus funds. $40 million in american recover and reinvestment act funds, programming them to several programs throughout the city, replacement of the visit vera street, bush, williams avenue, jones, seventh street, laguna honda, and third street. we also use them to build 200 curb ramps, 60 pedestrian signals, and 90 countdown signals, which is the most popular item we have on the agenda today. all of those items are now open for use.

another $160 million awarded to signature products -- projects, which we discussed separately. terms of state funding, the budget crisis in this cycle is only $30 million over the five- year cycle, of which 10.9 or regional improvement fund, 2.2 in enhancements. these are funds that are now threatened by the republican- flavored service transportation act proposal in congress. the regional improvement program funds committed to prop k signature projects for presidio parkway, transbay terminal, caltrain, central subway, funds go to the safety campaign and conversion crosswalk project. there has been quite a bit of progress in terms of the bicycle
