we are negotiating together, so we will be working in sepp so we are all on the same page. >> in terms of additional revenues, i think it is not bad. i would not agree to taking it up to 22.50 khatami. -- net 22.50 at all. i would be open to got one. regent -- to that one. the other areas i want to speak to in terms of parking and charging for sunday parking, those are areas i have been concerned with in the past, particularly because of what the impact might be on business, so while i am concerned, i would like to see what new nea would be proposing -- to see what

muni might be proposing because they make sense a. >> it is pretty straightforward. goobut we will likely propose starting later here again we see that it would help spaces. goopeople wanting to access thoe businesses have very little ability to do so. i think it is generally the residents who do not have to move their car from saturday night through sunday morning.

that would be adversely impacted. in terms of evenings when we had our public hearing, the sentiment of the board was maybe that is something we should pilot in select commercial herriot'areas, where parking isd up, so that might have been more, and if so, we want to work with respect of neighborhood commercial districts to feel where there might be stronger support. just a few other things we looked at a.

there is currently part of the planning code says downtown for raw shows -- downtown garages have certain restrictions on the type of the rates they can charge, so one would be to modify not to apply to all or citywide. i think there may be some legal challenges or other concerns, but it would be potentially guerdon parking management policy. it would also potentially generate some revenue. the budget does resume the policy will continue, so there are indexing of regular adults in the proposed budget, but

beyond that we look at a couple of things such as charging 25 cents for a cash transfer puree good -- a cash transfer, or charging 50 cents more as we tried to move he ohm -- move people from paying cash. finally, the bottom shows a little bit of good news from the joint report, and where would we get comes through on a formula, so where the general fund does better, we do better, so from the original estimates, they are improved, so this isn a possible revenue. this is one we will certainly

take. as i mentioned in the beginning, we have a larger structural deficit to address commoso thisl is also looking at longer-term reductions. this shows what some of those are. the one folks think is the best fit for the mta is a vehicle licensing fee. in order to bring those to the voters, we would need authorization from the state, which has not been forthcoming. >> a signature from the governor? >> the legislature has approved this three times, and all three times it has been vetoed by the governor commoso i know senatorn

now is looking to bring these forward again a. -- senator leno is looking to bring these forward again. gothere would be a strong nexus for the use of the sea, but until the government signs it common it is not an option but is available to us, so we are looking at ways to continue to close the structural gap. i will spend a minute on the capital adjusbudget. the big picture from an unconstrained perspective is a $25 billion need over the next 20 years. a big part of that is repair, and there is also an expansion and other supporting projects. this relates back to those assets identified in the first

slide. our funding sources are a mix of federal, state, local. the federal picture is very much in play as we speak. the current transportation bill expires this saturday. there is not a reauthorization or an extension. it may not come back until after the elections. goowe are more or less sure that our funds will continue. the things i will point out, you just saw the capital plan presentation and the city's nine plan, something i will be

proposing, should there be space within policy constraints would be of bonds to implement the program. i mention we would be proposing to do some of the design work. the implementation is what we would need funds for, so $150 million is an estimate of the need to address the first set of projects in the network of would be clear through the process. this would find expanded according platforms, replacing stop signs. there could be some wayside infrastructure, such as ticket vending machines and expanded swinish richard --- expanded

signage, that might be a good candidate for voter approval. the other new addition to the capital plan from a revenue perspective our revenue bonds that are authorized to issue. this would be coming into the budget committee in the week. a third and would-be old debt. that is more or less the capital budget picture. these are the priorities and we are using, given that our needs

are greater than resources. good eveninin allocating funds,t of what the board will be presented with. this is the final form, which is about $400 million each year in capital spending. that includes carry forward from previous years. we hope to get agreement within the next three months, but a dose allow you to achieve -- but it does allow you to achieve funding, so that is it, and i

will be happy to take any other questions you might have. >> just a final one from me. i am hopeful this is an area where they might look at whether it might look like. i do not think we have done enough work on what that might look like. i just wanted to youflag those. why don't we open this up to public comment? >> i am with power, and we are

organizing transit-dependent bus roads. we have been supporting the staff, trying to deal with problems, and we have been very encouraged our willingness to reach out to the community, and beyond that, we are part of monthe youth coalition. one reason we got involved is because of the cuts to school buses to reagan many of our members are feeling scared -- cuts to school buses. many of our members are feeling scared. the budget eliminates all funding for school transportation, so we feel the time is now we have to move forward, and partly because this came out of access to public school is why i asked for free

knew before on -- free muni for all youth. it is not free if you have to pay to get to school. we do have some other concerns that it would leave out many working families, that now there could be problems with documentation, so we want to make sure all those concerns are addressed. we also share your concerns about whether that would be able to be raised. we are committed to finding the full permanent funding beyond the pilot. supervisor campos is committed to black. we have met with the mayor. he islam -- supervisor campos is very committed to that. >> i am the community

organizer, so part of the coalition working on free muni for youth. i appreciate you working with low income folks. although our focus has mostly been on that, we truly believe it needs to be free for all youth. i know we are very concerned about family flight and the families leaving san francisco. it is not just low income families but middle income families as well. and know there has been a lot of talk about creating affordable housing for middle income families, and this is an investment in our families that is relatively cheap in maintaining residents of all incomes. i also wanted to say if we

really want to start getting people out of our cars, one of the things in a presentation that was surprising is the 60% signeof travel is still done in, and if we cannot start to move our young people out of their cars to other modes of public transportation, we are not going to be a transit city. it allows for the 16-year-old whose family might buy them a car when they turn 16, they will continue to use new the past the age of 16, and when they become adults they will have become accustomed to using new nikomuni want to thank you for the opportunity to speak. >> i am 17. i currently attends high-school

to regar by bus. today i am here to show support and will continue to advocate for their cause, but also to show understanding you do not have the power to make new the free -- to make muni free, but you can create the push. thank you for your time triggered >> thank you triggered an -- thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> as someone who worked on analysis, i cannot think of a better and more appropriate use based on funding guidelines for the program than the effort and we are trying to do. i wanted to address supervisor wiener's concerns about when the

funds go away, the ability to replace those. that is something we would like to address, but if we looked at some of the projects and programs identified and a transportation plans, it is often the case those projects are started without funds being available, and sometimes we are not able to identify fineunds to keep those routes going, so that is a concern, but i do not think it should be a barrier to getting the program done. this gives those regional funds. we think there is human capital investment, particularly the size is unique. often with transportation,

whether it is through funds, we cannot not show the public what this has been. this has a clear benefit we can show the public how we invest funds and get a clearer outlook. in terms of structural deficit, that goes beyond anything we can throdo, and that is going to ree new revenue. there are lots of ways to improve muni. thank you. >> good afternoon. i would like to say thank you for talking about the budget and with the idea of making new need free -- making muni free.

it has come a long way, and i am excited to see it has come from a resolution to may be becoming a reality. mrs. rosa the document -- this is a city document that has been released. there are deficits that need to be closed. there are buses that need to be maintained, and i know that is important to consider, but i also believe core values should match the goals as well as prioritizing the needs of our families, all families

throughout the city. this budget does fat and makes sure all the families are included -- this budget goedoes that and makes sure all families are included. we want to make sure all young people are prioritized, so i want to thank you for your time, and i want to urge you to consider making it free for all young people. >> just a few modest waypoints t respond. we appreciate the policy and fiscal rationale for resisting

free, maybe discounts for youth, and we are grateful for the collaborative work. gooremain committed to all thin. roathey slip through the cracks. those are our policy reasons, and we have heard that loud and clear from commissioners, so i want to acknowledge the point that perhaps we do have a difference of opinion, but we do have similar goals, but i am

not convinced there is a difference of opinion yet. we want to have as modest an impact as possible. we strongly believe any impact barrier would necessitate costs. it is going to cost money. thanks for your time, and particularly for these issues, we hope you will consider. and thank you. >> i am the vice chair of the

sacramento youth commission. i am here to support free muni for youth. it really creates a signal that prevents low income students from succeeding. i really hope you support free muni for all youth. thank you. >> ♪ a they like the youth to be nothing from nothing ♪ ♪ nothing from nothing equals

nothing at all ♪ ♪ you may have conquered the student world, but one thing students still nameeed ♪ ♪ they need a bus pass right now ♪ >> are there other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? public comment is closed. i want to take the time to thank ed. we look forward to your budget. can we continue this item to the call of the chair? we will do the without objection. are there any other items?

>> that completes the agenda. >> thank you. we are adjourned.

>> the next time you take a muni bus or train, there could be new technology that could make it easier to get to your destination. many are taking a position of next bus technology now in use around the city. updated at regular intervals from the comfort of their home or workplace. next bus uses satellite technology and advanced computer modeling to track buses and trains, estimating are bought stocks with a high degree of accuracy. the bus and train our arrival information can be accessed from

your computer and even on your cellular phone or personal digital assistant. knowing their arrival time of the bus allows riders the choice of waiting for it or perhaps doing some shopping locally or getting a cup of coffee. it also gives a greater sense that they can count on you to get to their destination on time. the next bus our arrival information is also transmitted to bus shelters around the city equipped with the next bus sign. riders are updated strictly about arrival times. to make this information available, muni has tested push to talk buttons at trial shelters. rider when pushes the button, the text is displayed -- when a rider pushes the button. >> the success of these tests led to the expansion of the program to all stations on the light rail and is part of the

new shelter contract, push to talk will be installed. check out the new technology making your right easier every day >> before i get started, please turn off your cellphone or any other electronic devices.

we have overflow. we will not allow standing in this room. we also cannot allow anyone to block the doors. if for some reason people are coming to speak, we've want you to mine line up in the center ae so it that you are not blocking anyone. in a minute i will call role, but i wanted to make sure everyone is aware the room is crowded, and people want to talk with their friends and neighbors. i am going to ask if you feel the need to do that, that you step outside and conduct those secondary discussions outside, because they are extremely disruptive. this room, although extremely beautiful, is horrible on a few sticks so it makes it difficult for the commissioners to hear what is going on. with that, roll-call for th
