issue the bond because of lower capital spending from project sponsors and a delay in accepting sales tax reimbursement. i will receive the emotional support from the vote. in terms of fiscal impact, we're looking at the amendment -- an amendment of expenditures by $30.1 million, decreasing other financing sources by $113 million. with that, i would like to recommend an amendment to the adopted fiscal year 2012 budget. supervisor wiener: colleagues, questions? comments? seeing no one, any public comment? seeing no one, public comment is closed.

can we do that without objection? that will be the order. number seven? >> #7. recommend authorizing the executive director to execute annual contract renewals with city and county of san francisco departments, exercise contract options for various annual professional services, in an amount not to exceed $1,766,716, and modify contract terms and conditions. >> commissioner, this is another and you will i am bringing before you he's our regular, the authority think we should be outsourced, rather than in sourced, but the degree of specialization playing in impact.

and i will take a few minutes to walk you through the sixth contract. we would like to enter into another contract with them for 60 death dollars m that to enter into a contract to continue videotaping the program in the board meetings, that project would be for the seven but are there any other laboratory and we have had them work on projects like the presidio parkway, the nine -- 19th avenue

project, and another one in the gary with two monitors that the city uses for their annual audit, increasing that amount by $149,180. the next contract that i have is for an arrest and associates, and to provide consulting services. we anticipate that they would continue to provide a sense with workforce development programs and small business campaigns and

this is the final renewal option for $95,000 and how may tip of the work on this in a court or except in traffic? this is for whenever we need help with this. before i forget, this item was brought before the cec on february 22. in terms of a fiscal impact, the total is equal to $1.7 million. it would be funded by a variety of sources, including prop k from various city departments and agencies and a grant funding required from federal and regional. with that, i am available the

contract by mentioned >> continuing with the existing firms in the said the -- what was it? [unintelligible] what exactly is barbary coast doing? >> let me turn this over to the direction of planning. >> commissioner, they help us with overall communications for the entire agency and on specific pilot support. at the moment, more of their work is being utilized for the release of the dropped environmental impact report that they helped to set an outreach briefing for, identifying key

target groups in meanings for us, providing translation for focused group support. we asked them to help us with house of the blind. for geary, we will be briefing you shortly on that, but there has not been a lot of assistance going forward for the next month, and that will be gearing up. supervisor wiener: you also mentions the been about tep? >> it is the countywide transportation plan, for which there is outreach in support as well. supervisor wiener: any other comments or questions? right. any public comment? seeing no one, public comment is closed. colleagues, is there a motion? >> so moved. supervisor wiener: without objection, that will be the

order. we will now go to item no. 8. >> item #8. recommend adoption of the proposed fiscal year 2012/13 annual budget and work program. >> this item is the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget. as you may wrote -- remember, this was brought to the fore last month. we went through a full presentation. i have the presentation again, but for the sake of time i would like to point out some of the key items in the budget. remember, this is their second look when this item would be up for action. [feedback] >> the budget for the revenue is $92.7 million for fiscal year

2013. by stephen c., sales tax makes up the bulk of revenue budgets, 83.5%. this estimate is in line with what the controller's office has for revenues. federal funding source represents 8% of our budget and consist of $4.1 million in federal funds for the yerba buena island project. that is an island i just mentioned for the budget, and we will be shifting expenditures from fiscal year 2011-2012 to fiscal year 2012-2013. the next such a source is the vehicle registration fee. this would be the third year of the program, second year of full revenue collection.

we anticipate $4.8 million of that represents 5.2%. the remaining parts of the budget in terms of revenue are less than 2%. city regional grants and program funding have interest earnings of 1.1% and state grant funding of 0.7%, and other revenues were 0.3%. on the next slide, i wanted to highlight the 10-year recap of sales revenues. back in fiscal year 2003-2004, collections were at $64 million. we hit an all-time high in 2007- 2008 with almost $80 million of revenue collection for sales tax. we had a bit in fiscal year 2009-2010 -- a dip. we are slowly climbing back up, and we anticipate a collection of $77.5 million in sales tax revenue for fiscal year 2012-

2013. on our next slide, i would like to point out the different types of expenditures we have anticipated. total expenditures for the year will amount to $170 million. the largest bulk of expenditures represents 94.1%. this is $160.5 million for capital projects, consisting of large projects like the presidio parkway, transbay terminal, central subway, the radio communications system, and as you heard today, the better market street project. the next largest amount of expenditures we plan to incur is 3.2% for personal cost. the amount we have estimated has not changed from previous years. salaries have not increased at all. the salary structure was

established back in fiscal year 2007. the only change to this is really the cost of living and benefits. the other two small percentages we have relate to debt service of 1.5%. this is the cost to keep our commercial paper program. we also have 1.2% for our non- personnel expenditures, and that relates to office supplies, our equipment, our audit services budget, our legal services budget. one item i should add is we also anticipate a $295 million bond issue in late spring of fiscal year 2013. we will reevaluate the need for a bond at the midyear budget of the net. if it was needed, it would be brought before and finance committee for approval before any more exploring could be

established. with that, i do not want to take up any more of your time. i know the item was before you last month with a full presentation. more than happy to take questions on the rest of the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget, any questions related to the community work program. commissioner weiner: any questions, colleagues? is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. do we have a motion? commissioner campos: so move. >> second. commissioner weiner: can we take that without objection? that will be the order. item nine. >> good afternoon, commissioners. deputy director for policy and program authority. going to give you a quick to protect of the surface transportation bill reauthorization status and dates on the federal side.

our legislative advocate will come up and give information on the bills we are presenting today. the senate is currently in session right now adjusting for actually participating in a vote-a-thon. the current extension expires on march 31 of 2012, said the countdown has really begun to see if there will be another continuing resolution that will get us through the end of the current federal fiscal year or that will give reauthorization before any election in the fall. the current structure of the house bill retains the basic funding levels. the bill might pass in the senate as currently being proposed to be amended, but it is unlikely to pass in the house. there is unlikely to be either a

new bill in the house that is a shorter term than the five-year measure that is currently proposed, for there might be amendments to the current proposal -- or there might be amendments to the current proposal. the house is out of session for the rest of the week. they returned on march 19 to begin debates again, whether they will proceed with the revised five-year bill or change it to two-years. as i'm sure you are aware, one of the key problems with the five-year proposal is the funding source to maintain the funding levels as currently proposed. in summary, both those are at work in progress and likely to be further amended, either on the floor or in conference. the president has released a budget for fiscal year 2012- 2013, and it does increase funding levels from the current

year. the proposal is that these expenditures would be funded with what is called a peace dividend from the end of the war. these savings would be invested in transportation and also in deficit reduction. the president's bill establishes money for high-speed rail and inner city passenger rail -- commissioner chiu: can you explain the peace dividend is? it and you have the exact amount? >> i do not have the exact amount. i know about 60% is proposed for transportation, and the% is for deficit reduction. that is what i have heard at this point. the president's budget also includes a proposal to fund central subway at $150 million and also van ness vrt.

if there are not any questions, i will turn this over. >> thank you. there are four or five bills i want to draw your attention to, but before i do that, there are two quick updates. ab 57, which deals with the mtc membership was amended last week. it does now include the requirement that the member be a resident of san francisco subject to approval by the mayor. commissioner weiner: i will just say, it also -- it previously put a cap of 3 members per county, which would have allowed alameda county to have four members for the next three years, and we strip that out of the bill as well.

commissioner chiu: i am happy to talk further about that if that is something will want to do. >> the other measure is the long expected caltrain sales tax. they have not identified to outside folks would vehicle they would tend to and put the language into, but they are on track to get it done later this month. commissioner weiner: on that matter, i think it is really important that we very carefully monitor -- this is a bill that would allow the sales tax -- that we monitor that to make

sure that it provides maximum flexibility in terms of the amount, what it can be used for, and the length of time. i have spoken with caltrain about this. it is important to make sure this does not just become a vehicle with them to shore part of it, but that it becomes an opportunity for us to gather more needed funding for electrification of caltrain and the downtown extension. i hope that staff will remain deeply engaged in making sure it stays on the right track and does not bear off to becoming an operational item for caltrain only, although that is a key part of it. >> in the sand, and we will be monitoring closely. in your back, the matrix begins on page 59. the first measure i want to bring to your attention is ab

1455. that would be another attempt by an author who introduced a bill last year that went nowhere. basically, it says we cannot sell any more bonds. the bonds you sold are the amount that is available. we were recommending opposition to that. i expect this measure not to really go very far. ab 2173, which is on page 9 of the matrix, would modify the current capacity to place a 10 cents a gallon gas tax measure on the ballot to fund transportation programs. essentially, under the current law, they have to do it regionwide. this allows them to do it on a county by county basis, depending on how they want to structure that. we are recommending the support position at this time. aca 23 is an interesting

measure. one more attempt to reduce the voter threshold for local transportation taxes. the current version of the bill, however, is limited to only -- related to funding local projects. in other words, a lot of local sales tax programs provide funding for state projects and other purposes. this right now is signaling the intent of the author to limit it to localize projects. for now, we recommend a support position. sb 1339 is down on page 16 of the matrix. senator yee had introduced a measure last year regarding commuter but it fits. we supported that effort. -- commuter benefits. we supported that effort. it was handed over to another member, and at that point, the bill passed but was vetoed by

the governor. the senator has decided to take the effort up again, and i think he is going to be working hard throughout the process to see if we can get a signature that will recommend support consistent with past practice on the bill. in addition, there is one measure i just want to highlight. it came and went in early february and has been pretty significant -- has some pretty significant implications. again, this measure was introduced the first week of february and was logged by the end of that week. it was part of the department of finance program to generate additional barraultab -- borrowables, which would designate additional funds that can be utilized by the investment board for one-day or two-day cash flows to keep the accounts hole in sacramento.

the transportation community generally supported this because it did not constitute statutory borrowing. in other words, it did not delete funding from the transportation program. it just allows it to be tapped on a day-to-day basis. in addition, a long time issue that had been spearheaded by local transportation agencies and cities and counties throughout the state was to overturn the practice in the state budget to withhold tax revenues when there is a late budget for the transportation program. this has caused numbers of projects to be slowed down, held up until a budget was reconciled. the department of finance did agree to put language into that. it is no longer the case. there is a late budget this year. highway user tax account revenues will now flow to cities and counties into the state highway account. just to highlight an interesting

bill with a very short history. with that, i conclude my presentation. commissioner weiner: thank you. colleagues, questions or comments? seeing none, is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, do we have a motion? we can take that without objection. that will be the order. thank you very much. we have addressed item 10. we will go to item 11. >> introduction of new items. this is an information item. commissioner weiner: any introductions? any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. next item? >> item 13, adjournment. commissioner weiner: we are adjourned. thank you very much.
