members we focused on emerging the legislation that will establish form although, the boards roll as the t m a delegated by the board of supervisors and to include that in spectacular part of the protections to insure firewalls between the ta responsibilities. we had support from all quarters and the senator seems interested in helping us with the emerging legislation we're following up with his office it was a successful trip i enjoyed walking the hallways with the staff. yesterday the assembly installed assembly member tony as the speaker today, she gets to handle the budget from the assembly side as accident mayor

is giving his budget it's going on right now i can't give you highlights good or bad we'll be looking changes or embarrassed revenues in the cap and trade arena there's a small modest amount of an increase and what's emerging i'll did you at the end is kind of a strong debate between the legislation and the legislator how to proposition the cap and trade with the fuel distribution in 20015. turning to the bills of interest. that we've been tracking you'll notice if you flip through here there's a number of bills that we recommend those are the ones introduced for one reason or another failed to move into a

second reading so we have 3 bills we're recommending for support on the agenda the first one is a bit 2690 on page 23 of the matrix it reconciles language for the dui section of the penal code a reference to previous convictions and the language that's more up to date is separate so that you can take account for somethings that's going on concurly and we recommend the support to make the streets safer in san francisco. sb lovingly 83 an interesting measure we're recommending support it been carried on the matrix before as a watch it was

- >> what package it this on. >> i'm sorry page 22. and the bill was amended to change the funding source it allows the city and county to explores an up to $6 registration fees to fund the bicycle facilities. the prior version was a tax on bicycles and this is more important palatable and there's emerging technical issues over parks in the cities and counties we are combanls the funding for the opportunity of enhancing the opportunity for bikes and final intersection 17 on page 22 recommending support in bill

will encourage or require the resources agency to develop climate resiliency collaborative with the cities and counties and others entities and produce an ongoing assessment and identification of measures to enhance climate resiliency and threatened areas of the state that's my presentation and to wrap up the cap and trade discussion the two conflicts between the governor has to do where we it will reside at the state or recreational level and the legislation uniformly is pushing it more locally and regionally a in some cases with the funds provided to make the

fund selection. the governor if he's had a change of heart but he opposes anything that put it on that level he wants the state agencies to make the product decisions and secondarily the distribution of the fund. the one major proposal that's out there but hadn't seen the light ofization day in terms of language we've seen the description is by senator performing steven beggar and he has recommended keeping the governors budget whole for 2014-2015 but placing something in the scheme going on. in his approach he'll treat the regulated industries that are subject to cap and trade the revenues from those industries will fund a number of gvg

productions but in 2015 the fuels production or motorists will be paying a higher amount because of the pass through of costs dedicated to transportation looking at several budget and high speed rail will receive a quarter of the money under the steven beggar proposal and rail and transit about half of that fuel distribution network funding and sustainable community will receive another quarter of that funding. under sustainable community a split going to affordable housing or infrastructure that facilitates affordable housing. so we'll see what the governor comes up with either a new

approach or reengaging in support of his own approach. with that, i conclude >> thank you, colleagues any questions or comments. okay madam clerk, do we need. open this up for public comment thrombin seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, roll call >> supervisor chiu. supervisor farrell. supervisor tang. supervisor wiener. absent that item passes >> item 5. >> the proposal for 2014-2015 and amending the program this is an action item. >> good afternoon cynthia this item starts on page 57 in your pathways this guess your second
