in 1995. and on a right rail transit system on geary boulevard. as far as the brt is concerned, i attended the workshops and started thinking that a lot of people are asking, what about light rail? we want light rail. and that is what the people voted for back in 1989. that was grandfathered into prop k and as far as the transit report, and as far as the transit i am on the chair for the subcommittee as well to figure out what to do in the future, i told them last week at the subcommittee that you should look into see what prop b was in prop b. and what was completed, and what was left to be done. and was grandfathered into the prop k. and what prop k was already completed, and then go from

there. before we try to find any other funding or funding for everything else >> thank you. >> any other member of the public that would hike like to comment. >> i am the chair of the coalition land use committee. several comments, one is that the city does not have an over all game plan for building, developing, but with that what i mean is that for example, compared to a hospital, which has an interdisciplinary committee and focus, where they focus on the weakest link, you know, the hospital, that is only successful, if everything works well. and here, in this city, we have housing that is going crazy, and or developing the market

housing at a much higher rate than needed. and the market rate housing as we all know, is not for housing but for people or residents that are here today. and they are more for people for the well-to-do. and what happens is that when market rate housing becomes dominant, and then we lose the workforce, and ordinary people, city employees, teachers, they can't afford it. so one of the things that we have to do is focus on the transportation. we know that transportation really sucks. our deferred maintenance is ridiculous. here we are, a transit first city and well, any way, our transit stops and we are developing and like in the army in a war. you have to come up with a supply line and we don't have the supply line. we need to focus and fix up

what is in severely needed. our transportation is a joke. and you know, for a transit first city come on. we need to fix all of our vehicles and whatever is necessary and make it a real transit first stop. >> thank you very much. if there are no other members of the public to comment, we will close public comment. >> and we will go on to the next item. >> item number five, award an 18-month contract to par son's brinckerhoff to an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 for the if he can cal sult ant services for the treasure island mobility management and study and authorize the executive director to negotiate contract payment in terms and non-material contracts terms and conditions. >> comments? >> public comment. >> public comment is open and...

>> good morning, again, commissioners, my name is jackie sacks, this item is brought up at the citizen's advisory committee last month and having served on the geary, on the citizen's advisory committee for the drive subcommittee, i am very familiar with this firm and i move that this be passed and i said the same thing at the finance committee last week because i am very familiar with this firm and i have seen what they have done with the procidio parkway and i suggest that you award this contract to them. thank you very much. >> thank you any other member of the public who would like to comment? >> we will close public comment. >> avalos? >> aye. >> breed? >> aye. >> campos.

>> aye. >> cohen. >> aye. >> chiu. >> aye. >> farrell. >> aye. >> kim? >> aye. >> commissioner mar? >> aye. >> tang. >> aye. >> commissioner weiner? >> aye. >> that item passes. >> commissioner yee, absent, the item passes. >> next item please. >> 6, item six, amend the adopted physical year 2012, budget to increase revenues by $41, 727040, and increase expenditures by $20,844,741 and decrease other financial sources by $116, 995, 33, for a total net decrease in the fund balance of $96,071,034. >> any comments? >> we can go into public comment, seeing no one come forward we will close.

miss sacks? are you? >> yes, regarding the curve ramps in this resolution, this is taking into consideration, where the bus stops are, and as where the people live, and you don't put curve ramps where people have their houses and have their driveways, where they have, where it is difficult for them, and it is difficult for them to get out of their houses and out of their driveways. that sort of thing. so take that into consideration. that is all that i have to say, thank you. >> thank you. >> roll call vote? >> call this in the same house, same call? >> okay. >> the item passes. >> next item please? >> number seven, allocate, $510,526 in prop k funds with

conditions to the san francisco municipal transportation agency for five questions and $831,100 in prop k funds in the department of public works for one request and sublt to the enclosed physical year cash flow distribution schedules and amend the relevant five year priorityization programs. >> comments >> public comment, we will close it. same house, same call? >> the item passes. >> next. >> program $1,175,104 in cycle three life line transportation program surface transportation program funds to the san francisco municipal transportation agency eddy and ellis traffic calming inprovement item. >> commissioner kim? >> this has been made before plans and programs and i want to highlight a portion of the recommendation which includes the eddy ellis traffic calming improvement program which say

part of the little sigon that was brought before the board before my time as a supervisor. but i did want to highlight this because it was an example of where the multiple departments worked well and closely together in conjunction with the community advocates and the tender loin neighborhood and to figure out ways that we could find a very large traffic improvement plan that had really been on the books for several years and figuring out, pieces of ways that we could do, and prioritize the right types of pedestrian safety. and this clearly benefits the low income neighborhood and we are excited to have the members of our tenant and immigrant, working class families in the tender loin working side by side to figure out solutions to fund some of these improvements and i want to thank the staff for working so closely with our office, everyone is really excited about this moving forward. thank you. >> great, thank you very much.

>> we will move to public comment. >> my name is jacky sacks again. >> this was brought before the advisory committee last month and as far as the traffic calming and eddy and ellis the one thing that i stressed that you have to take into consideration, the 31, the 31 bus line, that goes up eddy, that goes up and you got to take into consideration the 31 bus and make sure that this line does serve disabled individuals and you got the

public and the disabled housing down there and the people living in public house ng that area and you take this line and you take it into consideration, the, or any altercation or any changes that will have to occur with this sort of thing that will effect these, these individuals. you should not effect the bus line, leave the bus line as it is. thank you. >> thank you. >> any other member of the public who would like to comment? >> and seeing none we will close public comment. >> and colleagues could we take this the same house same call? >> the item passes. >> next. >> nine, disi go nature lead agencis for the 2013 prop k five year priorityization program updates and allocate, $193,000 in prop k funds with conditions for the san francisco municipal transportation agencis for development of

together this plan. we are trying to address the economic health of the region and the retention of the open space and natural resources and the effective use of our public investments and this is worth sharing the quality of life that we enjoy today with future generations. there has been a lot of analysis that we are not going into a lot of detail, but we are giving you a picture of the dimensions that have been assessed. we have been having a dialogue on this plan for a while and this gives you a picture of it being a couple of years in the making and sharing with you some of this input and at this point, we are taking public comments on the final draft.

we had the session in san francisco and we still have four more counties spending and so we are taking public comments as well as engaging in dialogues with you elected officials with planning staff, with transportation and, staff. again there are two essential pieces that were integrated. and the job strategy and the transportation strategy. i would like to give you a few highlights of how it is growing and how the plan attempts to address this growth trends. over all these numbers are you might have seen them before, 1.1 million jobs into the region, and 2.1 million people and 660,000 new units and as

you see, san francisco is taking on a major responsibility in terms of jobs and housing. in terms of the transient kind of what explains the role of san francisco, is the lead of the knowledge-based activities and it is not just the knowledge-based but it is the integration of the knowledge based core functions with other sectors including health and education and leisure and hospitality and this diverse economy what it is giving the regional economy a strength and it is not growing at the same pace that we have seen in previous decades but it is a healthy growth over the next three decades. there is a high expectation that employment growth will be more urban than in prior

decades. san francisco has not taken on a lot of growth. and we are see a reversal of that plan and it is not that the office park and the jobs will disappear but in those areas we see a concentration of employment close to transit and services. important to recognize the increase of latin os and the aging of the population and two-thirds over the next 30 years will be a senior population and that relates to how our housing production is changing. and we have been introducing more single family homes, but in 2000 to 2010, which was not a decade where they had a lot of housing pro-ducks, but the pro-ducks is shifting towards multifamily housing and in fact san francisco plays a major

role is the first plan that the city is experiencing and producing multifamily housing and high-rise and residential development and that is a neat pattern for the city and county for the region. and so how are we embracing those trends and the plan b area. so you are familiar with the priority development area with the framework that was developed not just with the legislation, as sb375 that we have been working on that for 7 and to 8 years and we have been working very closely with your staff and planning and transportation. and in recognizing what that neighborhood plan that you have in city and how those relate to the primary development in the regional level. and prior to that, while the largest conservation areas are the north bay, and santa clara

and the urban parks and to retain the quality and the access of the open space. and so this is the over arching and this is the picture of how this plan is suspected to play out. as you can see the green, areas is includes the open space, the farmland and the concept as to retain those as they are today. but the urbanized area is the gray area. and within that, the pink area you see, as the priority and development areas where the most growth is expected. so it is not just a retention of open space, it is the retention of many other small neighborhoods and towns, the character of some of the that i haders that are not absorbing a lot of growth. about 80 percent of the new homes are expected in this priority development area. and 60 percent of the new jobs. in the case of san francisco the growth is focused on the

eastern side of the city. and they vary, across the city. there are some high density development and there is more small-scale neighborhood, two to four story buildings throughout the city. and this diversity of priority development area is not just within the city, we have priority development areas in small towns like clover dale and other cities and so they range in scale with the intent in connecting again the transit with access to jobs. >> and gives you a picture of how san francisco is growing, in terms of housing, again, there is a significant growth in the expected in the city, and here you have three of the neighborhoods that will be taken on a significant portion of the growth. as you probably know the plan in the area are slightly

higher than what you see in the local plans and that is part of assessing where it will be in the city. there are high expectations in terms of the level of growth that can be accommodated in the city. and san francisco, is facing a particular challenge, all cities, medium sized cities and small cities are making different efforts to address this convergence of housing and employment. in san francisco, your experience a different pattern and san francisco coaleses in the financial district which is no longer a case, the set of jobs that you are absorbing in the region is a lot more complex and it really varies across the professional services and it is closely linked to entertainment and

retail and that defines a new economic profile for the city in a new relationship with the rest of the region that we are hoping will be able money. and the down side of course is that has been some what of a necessity because of the lack of investment and sacramento and washington and the good news is that when you raise your own money, and you can write your own rules and that is something that we have done to the benefit and not done a lot of highways in the area and you tear them down more than you build them and we need to invest in the transit and we need to invest in the bicycle modes and when we generate a lot of money we have a better time doing that when we deal with the federal or the state rule book. and we tend to divide this money in this planning exercise, into two different pots, pretty much just to cut to the chase because a lot of the money about 80 percent of

the money that we call committed is committed to the specific purposes by law and long standing policy as most of the money that you can see in this slide is main nens of the existing system and 90 percent of this money is going to maintain our existing infrastructure that is filling pot holes and replacing buses on a resonable schedule. we don't thifrpg that we should have a big argument about that every four years and the argument that we have is how much more discretionary money that we can bring to that very vital activity what we call fix it first and because our infrastructure in the bay area is frankly not getting any younger. and we need to take care of it if we are going to have the kind of straggy that this plan suggests. and the discretionary income in this plan is where we do tend to have the arguments and that is where we should have the

arguments. and i want to spend a minute on where we have wound up on this one and what the board has been asked to consider in july. maybe starting at noon here on the clock hand and going clockwise, you will see that after spending 90 percent of all of the available resources in the region on maintenance, this plan proposes to spend an additional quarter of all of our discretionary revenue on those same activities. and that is because of the importance that we place on these issues and i will say, we could spend this whole pot of discretionary money on maintenance activities and still not fill up the tank for shortfalls to maintain our state highway system and local transit system and road networks, i would call this a down payment, and working your way down toward 3:00 there you will see the one bay area grant program that i know quite a few of you staff certainly were

very involved in hashing out and that plan, that program, again, is our attempt to match what you the local officials are making to try to grow smarter and grow around transit. this is not a ton of money and we hope to do better next time but i think that it is an indication that we do want to incentivize and reward the jurisdictions that are taking on more of the growth and san francisco and the other two major cities in the region are certainly doing that. as you round 6:00 p.m. there at the bottom you will see a couple of regional initiatives to build the next generation of transit capacity through the bay area, quite a bit of that is happening within about two miles of this room right now. and as well as boosting our transit and freeway systems in terms of efficiency and not new capacity but squeezing more capacity out of the existing

system. much like your transit effectiveness project with muni and finally we acknowledge that not all good ideas emanate from the region that each individual county in this case the city and county have a lot of local priorities that the money needs to be tailored to and that is better done at the county wide level and here it is done right here in front of this board and so, we leave about 30 percent of this discretionary money for those purposes. when you add it altogether, given that heavy maintenance emphasis you will see that 80 percent of all of the money that we will be spending over the next 30 years is to take care of the system that we have built. in one way that can sound frustrating because we have a lot of growth coming in the region and a lot of new prioritis that we would like to take on. but i do believe that this heavy emphasis on maintenance

and operation of our existing infrastructure is probably the best thing that we can do to support the stralgy that this plan outlines, i have often said that we have had an infill transportation plan for a long time and waiting for an infill land use policy to go along with it and i think that what the plan bay area does is represents the coming together of those two things. san francisco, as i mentioned earlier has a lot of this action. and in terms of infrastructure investments and none of these projects are small. and many of them top a billion dollars, and they are very important investments that we are making the drive is an example and now the procidio parkway is a rehab project and it is a glorified rehab project but what it is really about is having the capacity in that corner that is not susceptible to earthquake and that can get people through when that major event occurs. and the downtown area with the

cal tran extension and the transbay transit center and major facilities locate $in san francisco and they are not just yours, they are really regional assets xh is why we think that it is important to invest in them. this plan, i think maybe not for the first time but to this ex-sent, certainly for the first time is focused heavily on performance. and we took every single project proposal over 50 million dollars and subjected it to a benefit cost analysis and we have done several equity analysis of this plan to make sure that the benefits and burdens are shared, evenly around the region and at the plan level, the commission and the abag board adopted a series of measure and they were not bashful in doing so they were quite aggressive in many respects and i am pleased to report that in the case of 6 of them as you can see here, we

either met, or exceeded the targets. the most prominent is reducing greenhouse gas emissions per capita and we also made progress to an additional five targets where we did not get there and we certainly made a good first effort and we hope to get the red of the way in the next plan and i think a worrying sign is that in the case of four of the targets we not only didn't make it through we did not head in the ride direction we went the wrong way. in the couple of these cases we may have picked the roning metric, i think not having per capita standards is a difficult thing to do when you are growing because the cap ta keeps growing, what you want to keep track of is how much per person are you making i am movements by these are areas that we want to focus the greater attention on in the next plan as we make the

progress on all of these objectives. in closing we acknowledged that this plan under 375 is a first effort. and we do believe that it is a good start but very much is a plan that we need to build on i think in two significant report respects. not just to take the plan and take a breather. this plan aoe peneds on a lot of active advocacy in sacramento and washington to try to make the progress that we need to make here. >> the most obvious on the land use side is the fact that the same legislature that gave us this charge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through smarter growth is the one that took away the redevelopment authority which might have been the best tool to achieve that and so we are working closely with the senator's office on trying to fashion some kind of a redevelopment and framework and some replacement or series of replacements so that we can get

that roughly one billion dollars of investment that was occurring in the bay area flowing again and in
