>> this is an amazing park. we have not revitalized it without public and private investment. the critical piece of the process of this renovation was that it was all about the community. we reached out to everyone in this community. we love this park dearly and they all had thoughts and ideas and they wanted to bring their own creativity and their personality to bear on the design. what you see is what the community wanted. these ideas all came from the residents of this community. as a result, there is a sense of ownership, pride and responsibility that goes along with what is going to be an exciting park.

>> we love our parks, but we love... >> and the community who is really the core of it all, came together and said what we need is a place for our teenager to play, not just play grounds for the kids and soccer fields but we need a skate park that will keep the kids home in the neighborhood so they can play where they live. >> the children in the neighborhood and it will be a major boone. and we have generations, the youth generations that will be able to use this park in different places. >> the best park in san francisco right here.

our budget and finance committee last week from our sheriff's department. it's the third supplemental we've seen this budget season. the first of the public defenders which is going to be coming back for another hearing soon and second obviously the department of public health supplemental. the reason for the supplemental were twofold. one, unknown workers' compensation costs due to a few big claims that were not predicted last year as well as overtime costs due largely to the fact they were unable to fill vacant positions and have been struggling to do so although seem to be on the mend in that regard. we adopted recommendations from our budget analyst reducing the cost of the general fund by $181,000 so we're looking at about 3.2 million from our general fund reserve. met with chair mirkarimi to address the issues the department is facing moving forward. i think the focus here is on budget for next year. and we'll serum work with them with our committee members to solve it going forward. ~ certainly >> colleagues, any discussion?

can we take this same house same call? without objection this item is passed on first read. madam clerk can you please call item 10 -- item 20. >> item 20 is a resolution adopting the 10 year capital expenditure plan for 2013 through 14 through fiscal 222 through 2023 pursuant to section code 320. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair. ~ first of all i want to take a moment and thank the members of the budget committee for their consideration and support of this capital plan. and i also want to take a moment and thank all the members of the capital planning committee as well as the capital planning staff as well as staff around the city that are planning over the next ten years the work that we need to do to address critical capital needs in every department in every neighborhood in the city. over the past five years, voters have approved $1.9 billion of ga bonds for hospitals, parks, police and firefighters and streets which has been equivalent to the previous 22 years of geo bonds combined and we've been doing

it in a way that has been responsible and has not involved the increasing of taxes. and just want to thank everyone who has been involved in this and, colleagues, ask for your consideration. also want to recognize a change that supervisor wiener had made in the budget committee to reflect that once the 2030 transportation task force that has been ongoing over the next couple of months, once their work has been done, we do have an opportunity to come back and look at some of the aspects of the capital plan to make sure that we are fully funding our transit and want to thank supervisor wiener for that good suggestion and let folks know that is something i think we all support. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. and i want to thank the capital planning committee for all of its work in formulating this plan. the advent of our capital planning process and the periodically updated ten-year capital plan is one of the very

best things that's happened in san francisco recently in terms of our prudent management of our capital assets and planning to invest in them and keep them up and deal with the incredible backlog that we have generated by neglecting our capital assets in recent decades. i'll be supporting the plans that i have supported in committee, but i do have a serious concern about it, which is reflective of i think a general attitude that we have in city hall, which is lack of significant and not support for our public transportation system. we have neglected the system for a long time. it is deteriorated and muni is not meeting the needs of our population.

we anticipate population growth in san francisco and we're expecting our already inadequate transit system to meet the needs of even more people when the system can't even meet current needs. if you look at the capital plan, the investment in our public transportation system is woefully inadequate. in the plan it estimates that unmet capital need currently for muni are more than $2 billion. that amount will only grow over time over the next ten yearses as the system ages beyond its current age, and yet we have the plan contemplates a small fraction of that amount in terms of what we will actually spend on muni's capital needs. i am happy that there is at least some money for public

transportation in the plan, which has not been the case in the past in terms of a possible general obligation bonds. and also a vehicle license fee which, who knows if that will actually go for public transportation. hopefully it will. but this is just a small amount of what we actually need. we talk a lot about how when we do a budget, a budget is a reflection of our values and of our priorities. i think the same is true of a ten-year capital plan. it is truly a reflection of our values and our priorities and this plan unfortunately reflects i think a broader lack of support in the body politic in san francisco for ensuring that we have a world class public transportation system. we call ourselves a transit first city. we need to put our money where our mouth is. we haven't done that in a while. we need to start doing t. i think that this is a small step in the right direction, but it

is not nearly enough, and i hope this is just the beginning. ~ with all that said, the capital planning committee i think has done a tremendous job in moving the plan forward and i will be supporting it. >> colleagues, can we take this same house same call? same house same call, this resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can you please call item 21? >> item 21 is a resolution adopting the city's five-year communication and technology plan for fiscal year 2013-2014 through fiscal year 2017-18 pursuant to administrative code section 22a.6. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair. again, i want to thank the members of the budget committee for the consideration and support of the five-year information and communication technology plan which i had several years ago in legislation asked that our city's i-t staff put together so that we can have a framework about how we plan invest in technology. and i do support the plan as it's laid out.

one thing i would just notice, though, for colleagues is that over the next five years we have about $200 million of capital needs that we have within our ict areas and i think it's important for us to think about that, to think about how we can make government more efficient and effective through the use of technology, and to do this in a way that really increases public access and transparency. but all that being said, colleagues, i hope that you will be able to support this plan and i want to haltake a moment to thank the members of coyt and i-t staffers that worked into putting this together. >> colleagues, can we take this same house same call? without objection this resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can you call item 22. >> item 22 is an ordinance amending the planning code to extend the restriction on tobacco pair 235 nail i can't establishment in the polk street [speaker not understood]. establishing the lower polk street alcohol restricted use district amending the
