set our tax rate and this year it's detailed but we're still within the book ends of the state requirement to approve that resolution. we recommended you approve it >> colleagues, any questions. >> mr. rose can we go to our report, please. >> police vehicle prohibition we recommend approval. >> colleagues if there's no other questions we'll open this up for public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve this item. commissioners, can we take this without objection? clerk call item 6 >> it's the resolution approving the emergency contract are for the environmental clean up & of soil and water and the run away safety area of the

flight 214 with an amount not to exposed a certain amount and a thanks for being back. happy new year. the item before i is an emergency soil contract with clean harbors and environmental services. the airport engaged the services of clean harbors in the aftermath of the asian crash over the summer for work totaling $871,000 plus for services involving 9 clean up of the airfield. as you know asian on a flight missed it's approach at the san francisco airport and damaged the seawall and run away u way areas. one of the direct impacts of the crash and the emergency response

on the airfield was some contamination of the soil in the drainage system with the jet fuel and the fire chemical. the top 6 inches of contaminated soil was to be removed prior to the work to repave the damaged pox of the run way. this was necessary this work had to be done before we opened runway 28. it provided the clean up of the storm drablg. the cleaning of the pump station and the treasurer storage of the contaminated material and other

work required before we could do the work to open the runway. it will be paid for by the fund that was approved by the board of supervisors. the amount we're requesting here for this contract will be included in our claims associated with the crash. originally the airport commission was notified this this emergency contract wouldn't succeed 20th century $1 million since then we've got invoices totaling 8 hundred thousand plus which the the amount the budget analyst recommended you approve today. if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them >> thank you, colleagues any questions. >> okay. thank you very much. mr. rose can we go to our

report, please >> mr. chair and members of the committee on page 26 we point out on table one on page 27 they've submitted invoices and the environmental clean up work in the regrading of the work was completed on september 19, 2013. as was testified it will be paid from the maintenance appropriation boards and the airport will seek reimbursement from the airlines. mr. gibner points out we should change the language slightly where we say to reduce the interact amount we shouldn't specify an amendment of the contract but acknowledge that

the contract amount will be reduced by the $128 million down. the board didn't amended the contract but you should our recommendation is to amend the resolution to amend that amount. >> so to be clear we're not touching the contract but did reds to essentially to add to the substance. >> and then approve the recommendation as recommended. >> are you okay with this. >> the airport is okay with that and i'll get the clerk's office to remedy the corrected amount. >> thank you very much. you've been around here before. any other and a open this up for public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed.

terrorism grant and that's why this is before the board of supervisors today. they pay for equipment for first responders around the bay area. we include this grant but before we knew how much money we were going to get this year we estimated a little bit good low and the department of the homeland security gave his money above the budget so this is an expected amount for the balance of the money. in san francisco this will support the outreach teshlz where we help folks get ready for a disaster and the website is in 5 languages and we'll be able to expand that and the funds will pay for the cyber

security and other purchases for firefighters and police officers and other first responders around the bay area. it provides no additional jobs if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them >> supervisor mar. >> i have a quick question thank you for explaining this. what kind of multi lingual languages are available and is it on the internet >> thank you for that question supervisor mar. >> yes. for the physical approaches we have smaller much more brief information than what we used before. we have this in english and spanish and chinese and russian and vietnamese and the website

>> bonnie banks. bonnie banks. my definition of noise is uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place.

have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres, experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001.

god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to

music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise.

you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york, i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible.

i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine. okay good aftern everyone. thank you very much for coming happy new year i'm ed reiskin i'm the director of transportation and happy to kickoff the new year. san francisco has been a dynamic

city during the break i was reading the history of muni how things have changed and required the city to view. we're in a lot of change including in our transportation system a lot of change is good but it needs to be managed and it's safe and a consistent with the transit first policy. we're here to talk about that. we've got a lot of great partners partners if commercial transportation from the private be sector and companies that they service and our participates in the city. i think you'll hear from the mayor and other speakers we're chronically this issue head on and really going to address something that's are bringing benefits to san francisco and we'll continue to realize those

benefits while addressing any issues that this corporate employee shuttle are bringing. without further ado happy to bring up our mayor mayor ed lee >> thank you (clapping.) well happy new year i want to thank supervisor weiner and supervisor chiu they're for better and improved transportation tom nolan is here as well as his assumes a fact not in evidence i want to thank them and tilly. i want to thank the bay area council jim has been a great contribute to us here in the bay area as we should tell our transportation issues in the city. it's better to start up the

conversation with the corporations that are employees and resident are going to figure it out better and working with the commuter shuttle companies as well as the companies that are hiring our residents. it's a great opportunity to talk about this because guess what our transportation needs are great and we reflected that i think in a serious document we recently rolled the transportation documented that ed reiskin 2rikd so much to envisioning our needs. today, we're talking about a challenge something that is a recent phenomena but been in the eyes of the folks it's the commuter shuttle that have been taking our resident and others to their jobs and be it a

silicon valley company or medical compass or university the shuttles are here and they've been helpful in that but for them possibly we could see 45 thousand additional vehicle millions on our roadways or some 11 thousand tons of cashing emissions on our streets. they've become an invariable source and i support the fact s that employees are figuring out ways to get their employees safely to work. up to this point the city was uncoordinated it was within our muni zones or on certain busy streets of our city. having said that we wanted to make a coordinated effort to

capture for information to work with the companies who's employees are on those buses and work with the shuttle companies themselves why with them at a higher level coordination but happenstance b will get you into dallas and having conflicts in those muni zones and causing problems for bicyclists or causing buses to stop if the transport lanes without coordination. i know the more recent voices have been identifying those for the purposes of political agenda and rhetoric the buses are symbolic of other things i know our transportation experts and people in the city

see this as a contribution to preventing for congestion on our streets. so today, we're here to announce an agreement with the city with the participation of the company's and the bay area council and want to thank them and the corporate leaders announce an agreement for the next 18 months we will have an agreed upon approach to the use of our muni zones with a shared use of those commuter shuttles in those zones. and we're going to focus on about 2 hundred of those zones out of the 2 thousand 5 hundred muni zones in the city. those are the ones we have studied for the past year and a half as to where the bulk of the

picks up are had and we're going to coordinate this and have the cost recovery. it will be an agreement that reflects about $100,000 a year for the use of those muni zones but it will signal an identification of the people using that. they'll have to have permission to use those zones and it will have rules that reiskin will go into but respecting the minnesota lines and a making sure that certain rules their abated but for the commuter shuttle so that they're not in the way of our muni lines and also causing any further congestion or shock to the emergency e 1906. we wanted to signal an agreement on a approach that has a set of

rules and has signage to let people know they're there and also a set of rules that suggest their b be there in a times and places where they'll respect the other modes of transportation that we want to have in the city. we think that with this coordinated approach we'll receive better data for our sfmta to consider for future improvements and have a ground function to talk with the commuter shuttle services and we'll have some good data to share with our companies with the practices of the employees and where the best pickup times and how they'll add value to a more efficient and safe transportation system. this is the purpose of today's

announcement. as to begin this coordination but to get a cost recovery open that with the agreement but to signal we want to do that well, and right with better coordination with the muni zones for picking up their employees. i think this will lead to even better situations where if it would get literally out of hand if we didn't have the dialyses that we should be having. this is a signal to everybody i think shuttles are here to stay but they've obligate to be better coordinated and aligned with our municipal system. we've studied it i know there of the a strategic study done and we're building upon that but there's been a provision in the

last 2 and a half years we have some 4 hundred shuttle companies that exit in the city. we didn't know up until now where the roulettes are and the safety practices they can be boyd by. this is a start of a coordinating body. i want to thank the sfmta as we start in coordination it may not be fast enough for everybody but we need to do this in a solid way with good conversations we expect to have like microsoft so google to xbox and all the other companies we're working with whether their employees are going south and come back and to

coordinate the schedules and time framed. there are a number of companies it's not just the ones we've announced there's hospital xhupsz and orange county other campuses. we want them to make sure they're talking with us about that information we need to improve the symptom for everyone. you mean the goal should be the same. we're trying to get people to work that's the practical part trying to make sure there isn't cross purposes on issues of safety for our muni system. i think we're going to be better at it and i think with this newly found few minutes ago and good collaboration we'll get better and i know there's a lot of questions about this and we'll be glad to answer them but

we'll be glad to talk about this (clapping.) thank you, mr. mayor. i didn't mention this but you're in the muni line management system. the he men and women who work here are charged with making sure the muni vehicles can get through the students of san francisco as efficiently as possible that's part of what we need to do to advance the policy this was adapted by the board of supervisors back in 1973 that transit policy is placed in the a charter and it's the charge of the sfmta and it's board of supervisors to implement that policy. the framework we're talking about is a permanent system is something that's subject to the approval by sfmta board of supervisors. we've been working on this idea with the private sector for the

last couple of years after the good work done by the transportation authority in 2011. we have a proposal final list we'll bring to the board on january 21st. we've been keeping them updated we went to our policy and governs committee to provide opportunity for any public comment? and ultimately that will be the board of supervisors that will adapt this to make sure we're vance the transit first policy. i'll note that while muni is by far the largest transit provider our ridership is equal to all agencies combined. if you look at the collective ridership their equality to a

big part of bringing transit to the bay area in a way that compliments what the bay agency it doing. it will be the feet of the board of supervisors i'm pleased to bring up tom nolan >> i have a good feeling about the vote on the 21st president norwegian. we want to shift the modes of transportation in san francisco to get more and more people on bikes and walking and this is an important step forward. we're pleased to be part of this and working with those fine companies and continuing to work with the bay companies. this is huge 45 thousand is not insignificant and this is a big step forward for
