and what individuals expect of the way that their government deals with them. and so, i am very touched by what you said that jack and dev and ben, we all take it very seriously and i have been privileged to work with all of you and i am sorry that we will not have more of a chance to work together. and as i said as i think about emie and susan herriman and ilean hansen. >> and dorothy. i have learned that it is so remarkable to create this strange situation in which we can't talk to each other outside and we try to be wise to use your word and just coming together once a month to

do in public what people in other processes get to debate in private and yet somehow we have done it respectfully and thoughtfully and everybody on the commission has been really committed to these values each when we disagreed about particular items i have felt a sense of good faith. so 6 years ago, 6 years and 3 months ago i didn't and five months. i don't think that i know how much time it will take, and i did speak about the billing was not quite accurate but i am glad to have served and i wish you all of the best and happy to help any of you or this who process going forward if i can. but, the time has come to let somebody else have this chance, and i just want to thank all of you and jack, i feel the same way that i have learned a great deal from working with you and

everybody involved with the commission. so, thank you. >> thank you. >> i think that we created the plaques. >> is that the upgrade? >> look at that. shiny elegant. >> and it is smaller. >> every time that i ored one of these i have had to use a different company. so none of them are the same any more. >> you are very cool. >> we used to have, we used to have for years we had paper nameplates and commissioner hansen said that everybody else has real name plates and the question is are these available to us as souvenirs? >> we will mention your name, and but you never know what other commission i could recycle it and save the taxpayers. >> thank you very much and i will treasure the experience. >> and finally, public comment,

any further public comment? >> since we still have a member of the public? joining us? >> all right. well, with that, this meeting... >> i move to adjourn. >> second. >> okay.

>> good morning today is june 28th, and what a fine morning it is, this is the local agency formation, of the city of san francisco, and we would like to thank my colleagues for being here, my name is john avalos i am the chair and to my right is david camp os and london breed and across the aisle is eric marr. madam clerk, could you call the next item? >> call the roll, or the commissioners who are absent, or some are on the way and we will excuse those who are not here later on the agenda. and if you could call the next item. >> approval of at proval from the april, 26th, 2013, regular

meeting. >> colleagues any comments or questions on the minutes? >> okay. we can go on to public comment. on the minutes? we will close public comment. and colleagues could we get a motion to approve the minutes? >> so moved. >> the question from commissioner campos and seconded by breed and we will take that without objection. >> item three, authorizing the agreement and june 30, 2014. we have a presentation from jason freed. >> jason freed's office staff, which is now what is becoming the annual update to the contract that we have with our legal services/interrum director, to continue the contract and it is expiring at the end of the month and the staff is recommending to continue it one more year, if

at any point in time, the commission wishes to terminate the contract. they do wish to terminate the contract whatsoever, as long as we give miss mill and her her law firm notice of that transaction occurring. we are no ways bound for the entire year. and we will see that we recommend $95,000 and i will use the same formula that we used last year for the contract, but, we don't spend nearly that amount of money, so if that was the desire to lower that amount of money it would be done as well. >> what we actually spent on the contract? >> sure. for, i did look those numbers up, for the fiscal year, 2011, we spill, 116,000. >> last year, we have the full fiscal year, is $75,976 and this year we are coming in at 75,000 and we spent about 63 through the end of may and we have one more month to go and

if you average it out it will come to 75,000 by the time this year is over. >> if we lower to 75. >> this year we will be 5,000 below that 75 and we should be fine with that, and i notice that there are other items on the agenda. >> and we only use the services as we need it and it is as-needed services if we are getting close to, you know, a high amount that we could usually just cut back on the hours that we asked her to utilize for us. so you could very easily fit within 75. >> okay. >> and well, i would like to do that, but if we were to actually do, lower that contracted amount to 75, and to reflect what traditionally we spent, where does that portion

of that, where we are lowering from? that stays? the over all budget? >> most of her budget, is currently spent comes from the cca side of the budgeting this last year we spent over $2,000, and in the current fiscal year for non-cca related items for her to do and so most of them come just over 2,000 so far as come out of our general fund account. >> okay. >> so she bills according to whichever account she is working on. >> great. >> i am not sure colleagues if we have a sense. and i will lower that amount, to the actual spending or keep the same amount? i want a motion to move to $75,000. >> so moved. and that is seconded by mar and

no objection. >> we have public comment on this item and we will open the floor to anyone who wants to come and speak of public comment is open. we will close public comment and recind. >> and we move to lower to $75,000. >> and we can take that without objection. >> and our next item. >> item number four, authority sizing the agreement with the management conducting llc, two, to extend to june, 30, 2013. >> and once again we try to have all of the contracts with the expires at the end of this fiscal year and this one does the same. this one is asking for an extension of the contract although we are not asking for any additional money. this is just the background, mr. dedesy has a very good

policy and regulatory background and he is actually helping sonoma with their policies and risk assessments. and the pec staff and lasco staff are asking for an extension of the contract but we are not asking for an extension of any amount of money, we currently have $25,000 and so far we spent $7,000 and he is currently doing risk assessment and review and normally most of the time over the course of the year, we are honestly, spending an hour here and there and that is mostly the pec requesting his time. and so the pec and the staff is requesting an extension of the contract but not asking for any additional money at this time to do so. >> okay. >> and this item, we can open up for public comment. any member of the public that would like to comment on item three or four? come forward. seeing none we will close public comment. >> and colleagues, on this item, we can motion to approve?

>> so moved. >> motion from commissioner campos and seconded by mar and we will take that without objection. >> thank you. >> and item number five, please? >> item five, resolution to the board of supervisors regarding... >> so, colleagues, this is a resolution that we want to approve, and we want to approve today and forward to the full board to request, the changes to the scope of work for the one staff position for the senior committee development specialist and it is actually combined in the scope of that work with the current interim executive director for lasco, for cca, and we won't be actually hiring that executive director, most of all we want to be able to give the kind of flexibility for the current

community development specialist to carry out duties here and a chance of the senior community development specialist. to carry out the duties of the office that they are aligned with what is being done beyond just the cca and to extend that to the position's work for three more years, and we will actually coincide with a lot of the still, the developmental work around cca to provide continuity for the work that has been done heretofore and to make sure that we have the staff also, watching cca through this process. and but also, continuing with the work projects as they come up, as they do. and so this will come before, and it is before this body and it will be a similar measure that we will be doing at the board of supervisors based on the result of the vote today. >> campos? >> just a quick question, does

that mean that the existing position would essentially be or become the executive officer position? >> that is the current configuration and we are not looking on bringing on, the current officer and the current will remain on as a consultant. >> and so i am very supportive of this. and i have always said that what we are very appreciative of the great work that miss miller has been doing, and that it is always, been odd to me, that the executive officer is an outside consultant for a government agency. i think that that makes sense for that role to be played by an in-house employee. and to me, respects is that is already happening in a way. and so i think that it is, it is sort of a common sense

change, it does not really add anything to the budget. and so, thank you for doing that. i'm very supportive. >> thank you, commissioner campos. >> any other comments or questions? >> this item we can open up for public comment. any member of the public that would like to comment, come forward and seeing none we will close public comment. >> and so, colleagues this item is live before us, could i have a motion to approve for the resolution? the motion from commissioner mar? seconded by commissioner campos and we will take that colleagues without objection. >> okay. madam clerk, could you call the next item. >> item 6, executive officer's report. >> okay. >> miss miller could not be here and not much of a report. on the 9th at ten a.m. we will

be having a meeting up in room 400 for those who are interested. not-to-exceed rates are on the agenda for that meeting and hopefully they will approve the rate and for our july meeting we are still planning on having the meeting at the end of the month and we are doing the educational type of workshop types of presentation done and so to talk about the ways to finance and so to better educate ourselves on what are all of the options that are available for doing the most robust build out as possible. >> july 9th will be a tuesday. >> correct. >> and very very good. colleagues any comments or questions. >> i will definitely be there on july 9th and it is really a critical meeting and we have been trying to line up this joint committee with the pac, for several months if not more than several and so i look forward to that discussion on that day. >> okay, on the executive officer's report we could open

this up for public comment? and seeing none come from the public we can close it. >> madam clerk, could you call the next item please? >> next item is public comment. >> okay. we have public comment open. and i'm holding our breath waiting for any member of the public to come and speak and we will close public comment. and the next item. >> item number eight, future agenda items. >> any ideas or issues to raise for any future work at lasco. >> this is something to keep in mind, it is as we are moving forward, and in this city, it is you know, doing its reenvisioning of the housing authority and lasco has stepped in a number of areas in the past where we have funded the studies or additional analysis or reports and i think that to the extent that there may be a need to do something like that

on the housing authority, i think that is something that we should be mindful of because one of the aspects of lasco is to help improve the effectiveness, efficiency and the operations of agencies. so, lafco and its budget to provide the tools to perhaps play a role in that. >> great, thank you, commissioner campos. >> i will be interested in exploring that as a possible areas of work. and this item, we can open it up for public comment. and seeing no member of the public come forward we can close public comment. and it is an information item. and we have taken no action and so we can go on to the next item. >> item number nine is adjournment. >> i want to wish you all a great weekend and if you are not coming back to work, a great fourth of july week and fourth of july weekend. >> happy pride. >> and happy pride, thank you for reminding me of that. colleagues, we are ajournd.

transportation system. the plan is in its final stages of development. coordination with local transportation agencies, regional transportation offices as well as extensive public outreach. i want to thank my colleagues on the board and many of your aids for attending the workshop as we had a good workshop. the focus was on highlights of the plan's recommendations, including strained in/sr*egsment scenario and vision scenario which would depends /og new revenue sources. one area i'm pleased with is the proposal of the neighborhood transportation initiative, that can be found through the prop k five year programs that are now under development. this includes a planning and capitol project piece, specifically

transportation planning funds for every district. the intent of a capitol piece is to identify one medium size and one smaller neighborhood project in each district with a goal of having all these /tk*eufred or well underway in the next five years. next month staff will bring forward a joint outreach strategy for the sftp and the prop k five year plans by using the leveraging potential of prop k. i'd like to recognize commissioner tang to develop a blueprint for [inaudible] the acting executive director and my staff /aeu /toepbded the fifth meeting of the mayor's transportation task force. the task force reviewed new --

staff to work closely with the task force to ensure that it builds on the sftp and its work. the efforts are expected to wrap up this fall. lastly at the regional level plan bay area is expected to the be adopted by the trans/phoration commission and the /aeu /soegsuation of governments on july 18. i wanted to draw your attention to some key follow work that is already underway. we are par ticipating in the regional economic prosperity effort, which links low income citizens to new jobs. the work is funded by grants and is lockly administered by the mtc with the support from spur and other civic organizations. commissioner mar and deputy director of planning of this

work as it continues and progresses. that concludes my remarks. colleagues any commenteds or questions? >> okay, we can go on to public comments on the chair's remarks. >> mr. chair, my name is francis coand as you can see on this very important topic, not one of the commissioners here had anything to say. i think that's great and it's great because as the mayor says right now we have 35 cranes up in the air and that's con /skwrepbgs congestion all over the city. but if you go in localize edd places, people are died so whatfix that? anyone

can have a plan, anyone can have a blueprint, but who has the leadership to do the right thing? i don't see one of ya'll go to this places and do something [inaudible] not five years from now. five years from now six or /sefpbl people seven people will die at [inaudible]. five years from now 20 people will die on cargo way. five years from now maybe 50 people will die on 19th avenue and not one of ya'll had anything to say because you love these grand plans. , but who's going to actually [inaudible]. i'd like to know. thank you. >> thank you. anybody else like to comment on this item?

seeing none, closing public comment. >> director's report, this is an information item. >> i'm maria, executive director. the report should be on your desk. i'll keep this brief, but would be happen to answer any questions. we've mentioned the past several months, plan bay area is finally reaching its plan bay option [inaudible] bay area governments which are mtc [inaudible] a little bit of excitement among the other points for discussion was the metro poll tin transportation commission to plan bay area projections. and they had recommended initial split of 600 million to affordable housing and 2.6 million to transportation. on one hand i think it's the right thing to do to send a signal to the

state, but there wasn't any time to really discuss how those revenues should be allocated within the region so the fact commission decided to add the revenues and have a discussion about [inaudible] and myself are /r-r working with the mayor's office and other city agencies on developing our regional strategies as well as continuing to refine our state strike ategy. also another item from the metro transportation commission, there was a fifth round of federal tiger funds. this is an extremely competitive national program. there's 474 million available. san francisco tends to do well though when we settle in on a small number of priorities. mtc endorsed five regional priorities, which is the high

speed rail early investment program which includes cal train [inaudible] but it could delay when we need to provide it also to firm up some of the other funding sources in that plan and it always -- the transbay transit bus george facility for 18 million dollars. the announcement is expected on these grants sometime this fall. quick announcements on our two brt [inaudible] final certification of the impact report and statement for the prowhich is a big milestone. that should be available on our website in july. we are busy contacting personally folks who are impacted by changes in the future assignments in the final [inaudible] alternative including those -- few businesses and places like the colored loaning zone that are being /aeu /tpebgtded and we

are working with them on being affected and eliminate impacts. [inaudible] to speed it along. there's a lot of great recent design advancement and surveys, things like serving merchants and patrons for services. they tell you how people are getting to our retail and commercial districts. you can learn about that at gearybrt website. another big project of course is a better market street project and i'd like to make two announcements. there's another round of public workshops coming up -- july 16 at 6 pm at the parks 65 hotel and july 20 at the main branch of the san francisco library where they've advanced quite a

bit for plans for market street. i want to give a con gratulations to the project team in terms of selecting a new project manager. he starteds in early july [inaudible] i messed up his name but he's from new york. he'll be a great addition to the team and i want to give kudos to the department of public works for inviting all the agency heads to participate in this project. this is a pro/skwrebt that's been challenged by the fact that so many agencies are involved. i think that was a great move. central subway mentioned last month, a ceremony we attended the mta i event. these were paid 100 percent with prop k
