the other obligation and the other assets, we've talked about this both in the garages and in fill more and jesse square as apart of the mexican museum site. just to highlight that garage as apart of that mexican garage deal. it was a $20 million tax repayment that would be due to the city and millennium expects to close on that. that's new dollars to the city's general fund that will happen once that transaction is complete for the mexican museum. new dollars to transfer from occi to the city. it's for critical repairs and the a-2, critical street skate improvements in bay view. much of the same. that's good news and one time dollar that is year. in terms of our budget, i think it's more instructive to look

at the pie chart to see the trends. moving onto slide 13. the big take away, it turns to our sources and it's contributed to development contributions to do this great work program. really lessening the load on the tax increment. drilling down to what is that tax increment from the source, where is that coming from? we have really the straight path throughs for the mission bay agreement for infrastructure and that tax increment for the folsom street and then that loan back to city. moving on. you see 50 percent of the uses for housing, both for program work and other fees like we get like the

ucff services and that will go back into the funds. we expect help from the controller's office to provide for additional saves, four to six million by 2018. more savings to the general fund. and just drilling down to the actual use of property tax, the new, new property tax. that $5 million, it's nominal for rsp going on. in summary, slide 16, a slight increase but well -- the 3 percent cap on administrative cost, we're using other sources to make sure there are other appropriate uses of the valuable property tax for the city's general fund. slight increase in terms of salary. it's because of the acceleration and the work program well over a billion dollars of activities

contracting, construction under way right now with a really lien efficient staff at 50.6 fte and key focus of our programs to benefit the communities that we serve, and prevailing wages have been a component. that concludes my presentation and i'll be happy to answer questions. >> colleagues, any questions or comments. >> we do not have a budget analyst report on four and five. number five -- we need to pass out today to the full board so we're going to take public comment on item 4. anyone if the public who wishes to comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues can i have a motion to send that on item 4 forward to the full board. we have a motion and a second. we can take it without objection.

okay. thank you, mr. bohe and team. >> madam clerk, can you call item 6-8 together. >> resolution and declaring the instruction and improvement and receipt pro footing of transit related improvement and other critical facilities for transportation systems improvements and safety. item number 7, ordinance calling and providing for a special election to be held in the city on november 4, 2014 for the purpose of submitting to the san francisco voters a proposition to incur bond depth of the city and county, $500 million and improvement of transit related improvements. item 8, the resolution ten year capital expenditure plan for fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2020. the proposed

transportation and road bond speaker: thank you. i know one of the sponsors -- we're all sponsors and supervisor tang will come over in a few minutes. why don't we get it going. >> my pleasure. good afternoon, chair farrell and members of the committee, at risk and director of transportation and perhaps i'll yield to the chief's sponsor. >> just so supervisor tang has a minute to catch her breathe. he'll be sitting in committee for a week. >> that's correct. at the same the legislation was introduced there was an attended appeal of the transit effectiveness project, eri. we had worded both pieces of legislation, the resolution and the ordinance accordingly. that appeal has been dropped, so there are technical change in both of those pieces of legislation

that we'll have for your consideration today. >> we'll have a motion on those items later on. supervisor tang. >> thank you director ruskin and to the members of the boards who joined in co-sponsoring this bond for transportation. i think that really -- the city family really demonstrates just how important an effort this is. also of course i want to thank sftv staff and those who participates on the task force and you know, i do believe and i've said this before, this geo bond will be a turning point for all of us for our transportation system. we have not invested enough in our transportation system and our streets and this measure calls for the sale bonds in the amount of $500 million to improve the streets and safety for all users and fund upgrades for more reliable operations. the bond will

improve service through physical changes to the transit corridors and it will improve safety and it will help us achieve our city's goal of zero traffic fatalities and we'll fund transit route and bike ways. it's no secret that muni can be slow and unreliable and our transportation system has been frustration for those. but we do have the opportunity to turn this around by infusing much needed investment into our transportation system. as a reminder, this bond will not increase property tax rates. the city has a policy where we issue new bonds as previous bones are -- as previous bonds are paid off. and we have regular reporting

on spending. i personally grew up riding muni and it's disappointing when i hear today how residents are still experience some of the same frustrations that i did growing up when muni was in my name. something has to change and i believe this transportation geo bond is the way for us to be on our way towards a world class transportation system. that really serves not just our generation, but generations to come. and so with that, i want to again, thank you all the colleagues for your co-sponsorship on this. we do have some of the technical amendments that we're adding to section 12 at the beginning of the legislation just to clarify what happened with the sequa issue. i'm open to any discussion or would allow director ruskin to resume his comment. >> thank you supervisor tang. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you for your

leadership on this bond. i'm supportive of this. this is going to help us take a chunk out of our really deferred capital transportation needs and there are a lot of exciting items in this bond while i am proving our own transportation systems, supporting cal trans and supporting complete streets so it's terrific. i want to emphasize that there are a number of things we need to do including this bond to get our transportation system back on track. for too many years, as supervisor tang correctly noted, elected policy makers has not adequately funded and invested and we see it with $2 million for muni alone and that's not including bart or cal tran or other aspects of

our system. we havy -- we have enormous needs. we're projected to grow by the year 2014. be know that people want to take public transportation. we see young people in particular being less likely to drive than people of our generation. and we also know this city cannot accommodate another 150,000 cars on our streets. there's not enough space, so we need to not only show up the system we have, but expand this capacity, expand its reach, make sure we're getting to all parts of the city so the people whether you're living at 44th avenue or in the heart of the castro or in bay view, you feel comfortable being able to rely on muni day in and day out. the transportation task force did a

phenomenal job and i really want to commend the leadership of that task force, monique and gay medcaf and all the other groups that were involved. and they came up with three recommendations including the bond, we have the license fee and sale's tax. we deferred the license fee until 2016 and i'm glad we kept it on track because that's a critical track of our long term transportation funding needs. and we do need to grapple with the fact because of that delay for the next two fiscal years we're going to have to fill in that funding so we don't short change the mta and further dig ourselves into a hole, but with all that said, this bond is absolutely essential and it's critical that we get it to the ballot

and get it passed. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. i would ask, thank you mr. ruskin and thank you katie tang and i'm excited about the presentation that you're going to give and you look at equity -- but i wanted to say, having the strongest possible support in our neighborhoods for this bond moves us closer to achieving all the goals from the t-2013 recommendations, but i know we all pull our resources and put it together to have a strong bond. >> i want to echo the thanks to tang and director ruskin. take it away. >> good afternoon, and i'll join in thanking supervisor tang and the rest of the board and the mayor for coming together to introduce these pieces of legislation.

i'm here on behalf of the mta, but also joined by our great director of public works, mahamed speak with support of the mayor's office and the cal tap planning program and advancing this proposal to you, city as capital planning committee recommend to the board this bond and you have an item as apart of today's agenda tomake an amendment to the capital plan to reflect the inclusion of the bond of this size. i'll try to go quick because i know that you've had a long meeting and i think you're introductory comments help frame it well. the mayor did convene the task force last year. that made a number of recommendations for local funding, new local funding for our transportation system looking out over a

ten year horizon which come thatnated at the budget. what the bond contemplates is the first $500 million recommended by the task force and it recommends in a fairly comprehensive bond report, which is available up on sf -- this expenditure plan with the main categories of investments and transits and investments and safety in our streets so to walk-through the lines of that expenditure plan. the lion share is really to implement muni 4. it was approved earlier this year. these are changes -- physical changes in the public right away that will make muni able to

move better through the city, make it reduce the time it takes from muni to cross the city and increase the reliability like upgrading and prioritizing traffic signals and a number of changes and some that we have piloted. at the same time and i think i have a slide that shows this more specifically later, a lot of vision zero benefits comes from these transit oriented investments as well. the second line is to improve safety and accessibility stops especially our light rail stops. it's difficult for those to board if they're in a wheelchair or with a stroller or other large items so this will

allow us to have more of the accessibility platforms and improve escalaters that go into our underground facilities. we have facilities that are 100 years old that were not built for modern practices which inhibits our ability to get the vehicles back into service and onto the street and they spend more time in the shop than they should. to make safety and upgrades in these facilities will directly manifest the more service in the streets. there's also a line for investments and critical capital projects on some of our major corridors. we have planning projects under way on streets such as gary boulevard and market street and geneveve avenue. those are examples of the types

of projects that these funds will help us advance into construction. and these are some of the most critical corridors in the transit system. and then in terms of safer streets, this board has exercised great leadership in advancing and adopting vision zero as a goal. the sfmta board of directors has done so likewise. these bond funds would be the first significant infusion of funds that would allow us to start achieving and advancing towards that zero goal particularly through target strategic pedestrian areas that are high in corridors. there's funding to improve and upgrade traffic signals which has safety and potential transit benefits. it allows us to put more

count down pedestrian signals where we don't have them. and also to make the transit signal priority work so that the signals and the transit system are coordinated with each other. and then finally, funds that would support the complete streets, the better streets policy of the board of supervisors. as we have done with the 2011 streets bond, provide fundings so we can make complete funding so we can get bike and pedestrian streets done at the same time. we can get the pedestrian safety benefits and street skate benefits as well. so if you look at all the different categories of funding from the transit through the bike ways through the pedestrian benefits, fully $300 million of that $500

million will not advancing our goal. it's a huge step towards realizing this very important and i think achievable goal that supervisor tang reference of eliminating traffic deaths in san francisco in ten years and that's a goal we should have as a city. looking at the outcome from the $500 million, it will allow us to reduce the traffic on muni and improve accessibility on the surface and down into the stations. the facility investments would contribute to improve reliability and more service, more muni service on the streets. these funds will allow us to build bike ways and better da lien ate who

should go where. 60 percent of these funds would be working in that direction and as i've mentioned to many of you before, and supervisor wiener knows serving as a commissioner on the mtc, the metro politician commission, they have approved $557,000 that we can match with the local funds to get state repairs into the muni system to address the reliability issues that you discussed in your opening remarks. this 500 is a first step towards leveraging an additional of $550 million of regional dollars. supervisor mar made reference to the equity analysis. we are putting all of the expenditures in this go bond through a lens. this

shows how the work first locations which are the high injury intersections and corridors, over lay with a map of income, and you can see there's actually an strong correlation between the location of where people are getting seriously hit and killed in our public rights of way and where our lower income population resides so we'll use this kind of analysis for all of the elements of funding in this go-bond to make sure we're closing equity gaps as we expend these dollars. the transportation department does have challenges awe you've all raises and as mohammad has experienced, there's good things happening on the streets. dpw has paved one out of every five

blocks in san francisco in the last three years or they will have. we've made street skate improvements such as jefferson and chavez street which has redesigned those roadways and it's safer and attractive places for people to travel. we've made investments and i mentioned the pilot, the church street pilot which we've expanded, and various parts of the city. and the bike way just outside of this building, a short and critical note in the bike industry has made that stretch -- it has made it more functional and better for all road users. what these examples demonstrate is that we know what kind of interventions will be effective and we have the ability to deliver them. we just want to

take these up to scale so we can make improvements that are going to benefit the greatest number of san franciscans possible and make the city safer. as voters and the city has demonstrated we can deliver since we started the city's ten year capital planning program, there's been a number of initiatives, a number of ballot initiatives, many of them obligation bond which like this one wouldn't cause an increase of the tax rates. we've made the public library system and we have ongoing program to improve our rec centers and our parks and fire stations and our hospitals, so i think what we've demonstrated is that we as voters recognize these needs and the importance of the

investment and that we as the city has demonstrated we can deliver once the voters give us that support. it has been a great interest of the board to insure there's coordination within the city family and within city agencies and again city agency and with the community as we go to develop projects, this graph or this chart or this map of the city shows how we're over laying the various components of the projects that could be funded in this bond to see where there are opportunities for coordination and collaboration. there are many walk first locations that overlap with muni forward locations so as we implement those improvements for muni in the public right away, we'll at the same time get the pedestrian safety benefits done as well just as an example and through

all of these projects, we've got a lot of curve ramps constructed and improving access ability through the city. supervisor tang made reference to this. it's an important point. it's a policy of the capital plan that we only recommend to the board, in the form of general on obligation bonds and issuance of those bonds such as -- the issuance doesn't require an increase in property tax rates and we issue new debt as old debt has retired or as the property tax base grows that can accommodate additional debt without requiring tax rates so you can see the bond program going back a number of years, we're able to continue to issue this debt to make these investments without an increase in property

tax rates. in terms of project selection, this is detailed in the bond report. but for all the different categories of funding, there's common criteria we look at in determining where in the city to make these investments and for bike and pedestrian improvements, we have specific criteria we're using to drive this. and as i mentioned with an over lay -- as we're making these improvements that we're closing any equity gaps that we identify. supervisor tang made reference to the oversight. the city has built a strong robust and transparent process for the management of these obligation bonds. starting with the city's citizens general obligation bond oversight committee that is staffed by the city

control's office which has review and auditing of all general obligation bond programs and importantly just to remind you, every time that we issue a series of bonds, and for a $500 million program, it would be three or four series that's we would come to on each one of those issuances and it requires approval from the board of supervisors and appropriation that goes with those. each time we come for those approvals, it's at that point we have a specific list of projects and programs for which we're seeking your approval for the investment and then the reporting to go along with that to the committee to the board of supervisors through public websites that we've established for these bond programs as well as part of the annual capital budgeting

process. so that's what i want today cover today. mohammed are here to answer any questions you have. >> colleagues, any questions to mr. ruskin. >> i want to say on the upgrade of obsolete muni and visiting some of the balboa park or the muni yards where the light rail vehicles or other vehicles are being maintained, i saw firsthand how facilities and capital needs to create more state of the art maintenance facilities can help our whole system run better and extend the life of our vehicles as well, so i'm appreciative of seeing it firsthand and understanding how critical that bond is. i did want to ask the question that some of the

advocates on public safety on the streets and in many of our neighborhoods are asking, i know up until last week when we have a vehicle license fee, many of us was hoping it would move forward with this go-bond that there was a $13 million commitment to additional projects that would support our vision zero and i think many are feeling there's a $13 million hole in our needs to have vision zero fully implemented. i know this budget, that fills $3 million it, but i know that you mentioned that you feel that 60 percent of the whole bond goes towards significant vision zero type infrastructure upgrades, but i know many still see that roughly, 10 to $13 million hole, so i'm wondering what could be done to fill that hole within this bond, mr.

ruskin. >> to supervisor mar and the chair, the first thing i would say, we tried to strike a balance in the ordinance between enough specifity for the board and for the voters with enough flexibility to so as we work through the process and through the years that we have flexibility to make adjustments if needed, the bond report does recommend an expenditure plan which reflects a balance of needs we have in the city, so i think -- i feel comfortable advancing the program we have at this time. we did have a total of $33 million and we still do and we're in the second year of our capital budget that anticipated the vehicle license fee being on the ballot and getting approved this year, the two year delay
