[speaker not understood]. >> directors, also please be advised there will be no

discussion of anticipated closed session [speaker not understood] today. as directed by the chairman to the consent calendar, these items are considered to be routine by the board and will be acted on by a single roll call vote unless the board or member of the public wishes to have an item severed and considered separately. mr. chair, no member or public has requested. >> [speaker not understood]. >> okay, thank you. >> item 11, i'm not going read the whole thing. but approving the sfmta's fiscal year 2015 and fy 2016 operating budget in the amount of $943.2 million and 94 2.6 million for the operating budget ~ and the fy '15 and '16 capital budget in the amount of $5 62.9 million, and 6 69 million respectively ~.

>> okay, thank you. [speaker not understood]. >> did you want to call item 8 as well, the cac report? >> that is going to be right after this item, after the staff presentation. is that right? >> yes. >> so, we'll have a staff report then we'll hear from the citizens advisory committee. >> thank you, director. good afternoon. director reiskin and i were debating who would give this presentation and i got the short straw, so, here we go. [laughter] >> so, this is a very quick summary of the budget, fy 15 and 16 operating capital budget. on slide 3, this is where what we put before you, an operating budget of [speaker not understood] and 96 2 million for fy 16. the individual line item are identified on the slide ~ as well as expenditures, how we are proposing to expend them. as you can see, the majority of our budget goes to transit and

it is very equally split on the revenue side between transit fares, general fund transfer, and part b traffic. ~ revenues, and that continues to be the case. we are also proposing to you reserve of 20 million into the two years -- those are the highlights of the two-year operating budget. what is also included before you, though, is something we haven't done before. it is a contingency clause that says in january 2015 we will be before you to review the financial health of the agency. and if at that point you decide to pursue one or all the following items, they include a 7% increase in transit service for fy '16. additional funding for fleet cleaning appearance. providing free muni for low and moderate income 18 year olds and disabled riders and

eliminating the [speaker not understood] transaction fees. the reason -- the purpose is contingency, we have several unknown item at this point. we don't have labor contract item. we don't know what the november ballot measure looks like and we don't know what the economy is going to look like. so, it's very prudent for us to be looking at a contingency line item further in january. so, this slide on slide 5 is how we got here. if you remember, just the base revenues of the revenues we saw was several months ago starting february this year. this is how we got to where we are today. i won't go through the individual line item. i'll highlight a couple on the revenue side. you did it, the fund balance i stated before. we did get some better >>x in general fund. we got the google gift which has helped us ought. we also got additional state grant figure from the mtc which added to our revenues. we did expansion free fair low

moderate income use and extension and expansion for the low and moderate income seniors because we're not going to implement them until nine months in the fiscal year pending january. we were able to identify revenues for that from [speaker not understood]. increasing passbook prices, added revenues, [speaker not understood] reduced our revenues. and then we talked about the monthly pass bar program. so, that added to our revenues. on the negative side of our reduction of revenues, these numbers do include reversal of the sunday parking meters, both more meters and citations and it does have an adjustment for the fact we won't be able to implement the fare adjustment until september. so, that's the overall picture on the revenue side of how we got here. on the expenditure side, what we did from the base budget, we went through line by line of our budget and we had several

reductions in our nonpersonal services supply that we scoured and found we weren't using in prior year. we added material request for fy '15. and fy '16 we had two line item we were able to reduce. we went through and decided not to fund some of the new program requests and/or departments -- i mean divisions did take them back. we also had -- we also were able to increase our attrition fy '16 because we had most of our new staff are going to be hired in fy quarter 16 so we factored in hiring delay for the additional staff. sustainable streets we were able to fund sick of our $6 million in '15, [speaker not understood] in fy '16. we're also looking at doing more and more work in our capital side of the house. so, we're expecting ~ fy '16 that many of our staff that is in the operating budget will be

grant funded program. we have to charge grants starting in fy '16. we also reduced contracts. we had a couple of contracts, three or four contracts that were shorter term contracts and we're going to be carried forward fy '16 so we're able to reduce the fy '16 budget. [speaker not understood] service increase fy 15 and fy 16. once again, the fy 16 is contingent on your fiscal review in january. this is preventive maintenance being funded by transit. so, the last three budget years we've added 10 plus to our maintenance side in the transit area which is a pretty good effort. we also were able to add some additional operators for current service. about 46 operators are being added to our budget to add to current service needs. and then as a department and director reiskin mentioned our needs in communication, safety, technology, et cetera, added about 10 million fy 15, 12 million fy 16. we also have a labor agreement

place holder in our budget as mentioned last time. we are a myriad city estimates which is zero in fy 15 and 2.21% in fy 16. that translates to million dollars for fy 16. ~ $9 million slide 8 has the capital budget numbers. the only major change in the capital budget is that in fy 16 we are proposing to appropriate the entire additional general fund allocation. we might get from the city if the measure bat ballot is passed. ~ majority of line item haven't changed. two biggest line items are capital budget, central subway and our fleet. remember we're trying to replace our entire fleet. we had significant increases from prior years which you can't really see from this table in our bicycle and pedestrian programs, and i'll walk through those in a minute.

and once again, as seen before, this demonstrates the investment of bicycle walking investments which is a significant increase from the prior years. not enough, but still a lot larger than it has been. you see in this slide before the number are about the same as you saw the last time. we're proposing to fund about 131 million in our walk first efforts in the next five years. however, only about 60 million of that is in the two-year budget. so, i won't go through this again in detail. here is our bicycle -- our numbers. they're 190 million is the estimated cost, we're proposing to fund 162 million of that in the five-year budget, and about 65 million of that in our two-year budget. the miles i know director brinkman has raised as an issue. they still remain at 1.9

million per year, 4.5 upgraded lanes per year. so, the key budget dates, we've identified the ones, we're almost at the end of our several-month effort. so, if you do approve the budget today, we have until may 1st to submit to the board of supervisors, the mary put a charter. we had one hearing from the board of supervisors last week and we will have another hearing on may 15th and by july 31st is the last day for the board of supervisors to legislate on our budget. and the last couple of slides speak to the transportation task force and i think many of you have seen this slide before. our needs are huge. 10 billion plus of which we have about 3.7 billion in identified fund. if the task force measure pass, that will bring about 3 billion into our efforts. we still will have 3.3 billion

unfunded. and the measure in november are three measures. the geo bond which is general allegation bond. the vlf will be going to the general fund. there will be a companion measure hopefully identifying or allocating the general fund portion as part of the ballot measure initiative. this slide just show the budget for the [speaker not understood] revenues. the item before you, it does include general fund support 32 million. it does not include the 186 million from the general bond, general obligation bond. that will come to you as a separate [speaker not understood]. and we usually do that with all of our bond and have them as a supplemental appropriation. both our revenue bonds and general obligation bonds.

so, just to repeat what the [speaker not understood] 2030 measures will help us with, the tp muni rapid network improvement, vehicles and upgrade facilities, complete safe and accessible streets, and very important is our ability to match the empty c matching funds which it would be a a shame to lose if we weren't able to match those. and hope better efficiencies and service delivery. and the last slide here is the ttf mile stain, [speaker not understood] milestones ~, may 20 legislation by the board of supervisors. the date is a contract deadline approval before you. [speaker not understood]. september 1st index will take effect, and then november 4th which is the election day for 2030. and i went through that fast, but i want to leave some time

for the public -- >> thank you very much. is mr. weaver here, dan weaver, the chair of our citizens advisory committee? >> if i could, while he's making his way up, i just wanted to emphasize a couple of points. first of all, we're obviously in a much better position than we were a couple of years ago. so, there's a lot of things contemplating in the operating and capital budget that weren't even probably thinkable just two years ago. that said, we still have pretty significant unmet needs, both on the operating side and on the capital side. so, it's with kind of cautious optimism that we present this recommended budget to you. i do want to just point out a couple of things because i don't think that we made them clear in the presentation in terms of what we're recommending in the operating budget versus what we talked about previously. one thing that -- recommendation that i have removed is the increase, the

proposed increase and the discount fare in the second year of the budget. initially we are proposed increasing from 65% discount to a 50% discount so. , the discounted fast past would go from something like 24 up to 36 or so. i've removed that recommendation. i think if we end up, which i hope we will be able to do, advancing of the various free muni program, i think that's something we can take up in our next budget, kind of right size the people who are not -- the people who are above moderate income. so, i wanted just to be clear that we're not proposing that in this budget. i also wanted to make clear because ms. bose went quickly over it, the sunday parking meter enforcement program where we did present you over the course of the budget development process with a number of ideas including many that were short of full repeal of the program and in the end i

think we felt that it would be most kind of easily understandable to the public, most responsive to the concerns raised by the mayor to really -- to do the complete roll back. so, i just wanted to be clear that that is what is proposed in the budget. and the capital side, we did forward you a presentation that i gave to the board of supervisors budget and finance committee about the bike funding and kind of a similar story with the pet funding and frankly the transit funding as well. we really laid out kind of everything that we can find in terms of funding these -- all of those different programs. this budget represents our best effort at trying to fund those. we recognize for any of the modes, including transit, it doesn't provide the full funding we need even with the assumption of these revenue measures recalled the need by the task force was 10 billion

even with these measures we would be at less than 7 billion. but it gets us -- it's a huge leap forward for transit, for streets, for bike and pedestrian safety and just can't emphasize enough how important these measures are to the capital program that we're putting forward. so, just wanted to highlight those things in case they weren't clear enough and look forward to the cac report and the public comment. >> [speaker not understood]. >> good afternoon, mr. weaver. >> mr. weaver is chair of the citizens advisory committee of the sfmta and always [speaker not understood] going to talk about your review budget. go ahead, mr. weaver. >> good afternoon, board members. we've been busily mulling over the budget just as you have, and we've got some -- in addition to motions that we sent out to you the beginning of march, we have some additional input from our march

20th meeting. the first one is kind of dated now. the cac recommends that the sfmta board adopt a transit effectiveness project as presented to the cac on march 20th. our second motion concerns the on-street parking management policy and the residential permit process. the sfmta-cac received testimony and evidence that the mta on-street parking management policy document does not conform to past practices. in 2012, we recommended its adoption by the board with the assurances from staff that the document changed no policies. our recommendation was explicitly conditioned on the claim that the document

represented no change in policy. the cac urges the sfmta board to suspend the policy document and investigate this matter and further recommends that if the document is found to contain new policies, i am em implementation of those policies be suspended [speaker not understood] obtain actual and written policies. third motion has to do with training drivers. the ca recommends that the sfmta take a training plan so that the supply of operators catches up to the scheduled service levels and not persistently lags behind scheduled service -- service. the cac recommends that this -- even if it results in short-term detriments to service in order to make enough

qualified personnel available for training and, therefore, to bring service up to its required levels or its stated levels. next motion concerns clipper cards. the cac urges the board to pursue wider availability of clipper cards, both geographically throughout the city as well as by providing social services agencies that serve people with low-incomeses with clipper cards instead of the tokens that are now provided ~. cac urges the mta board to plan for wider availability of clipper services to these communities before increasing the fare differential between cash and clipper. the next motion, cac recommends that the mt
