have been taking public comment on this item but wanted additional time to brief the offices on this issue by having also have additional time to talk to the parties involved and supervisor kim has made a motion and seconded by supervisor campos i'll note this is a motion to continue the hearing and hole it as open. before we precede it that motion my public comment from any members of the public that can't come next week feel free to say a few words there's opportunity next week for public comment on this item as well if i wish feel free to step forward and make comments >> good afternoon. i'm matthew field i know inform t m g there's one of the many groups

that will be impacted. i wanted to i want to take the opportunity to say a few things about the item before you. first and foremost i want to express the parties have been discussing the policies with the city and hope to come to an agreement. unfortunately discussions have not been productive thou far we hope my time will lead to a more productive conversation we also hope that we have enough time to complete the discussions and that we would expect it the are formations are typically sequence actions unfortunately, this one isn't we believe that the item before i contains fundamental changes that have material impacts on the transbay and the documents in 2012 but we

look forward to a productive decision on the details of the cf d and hope to have a sequence approach going forward thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is bruce aim the vice chair of the t pc ac and the board member of the mission bay neighborhood organization association i'm speaking on behalf of myself and other on the board of the association that couldn't be here. here are the specifics the transit center adapted in august of 2012 concentrated growth if near the transit center to build taller buildings for net revenues or properties the developers will pay a special tax to fund their portion of the

necessary infrastructure improvements. the annual fee of tax is quantity to each development project unless there's a fundamental flaw in the plan the developers must pay their fair share if not those infrastructure costs will be shifted into us the taxpayer. most of the revenue will fund the downtown rail extension for the transbay transit center a smaller portion of the tax review will fund the transbay district to make the neighborhood more pedestrian and bike friendly this is critical we as neighbors are being asked and willing expel all the development, however, we must have those infrastructure improvements district 6 has the lowest amount of open space and

the largest sdrarz intersection and la a study found the property within they quarter mile will increase in value by approximately $4 billion in closing please uphold the tax as defined. thank you. next speaker. . >> good afternoon and welcome back i'm patrick valentine i'm the transportation authority i'm here for the implementation fees in under the document i like tall buildings in our neighborhood in exchange for the fees specific for the rooftop park and to bring caltrain and

high speed rail into the transbay center we don't want to spend thousands of dollars for a fancy bus station i understand there are continuing conversations to come to a sequence but significant factors that make the challenge very much unclear the method and calculation of the fees and the documents are very clear. the recites that were priority in the table table 5 and the descriptions on page 4 discuss those are samples not confusing amounts their suggesting those rates could change up and down. developers had significant input in the process off how the fees were to be calculated they've come up with a cap of 4 percent on the upside or down side we've

seen an increase the cap at 4 percent increase and as the prior speaker mentioned the tax rates are within the standard when we add the property tax to stay well under 2 percent so in conclusion i'd like to see the board and city implement the document as planned thank you very much. >> next speaker >> good afternoon and thank you honorable supervisors and president chiu. i am ass licking list rogers a 20-year resident i serve on the board of the mission bay association and several other worker groups involved in the community i support the commented from the people that serve on the tjpa obey far more

knowledgeable on the details of the documents, however, i would like to say in the past decade plus supervisors before you and the city generally have by hair own admission failed that the developers share in the infrastructure costs that serve the area of their development. the city and this area especially is builds in a rears this area will fail the willingness of people to buy to the dense urban core will hang in the balance taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill for the extra transportation gore bond and recent parks and open space bonds and those funds will not solve for the current conditions with what messages does it send if the city backs a

away from the negotiated that funding that shares the burden for forward planning that i thank you >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon president chiu i'm chaerl with the operators union i'm here to encourage the city and tjpa to continue discussions to enter maturing believable and the tax prelims in the district that's essential in the transbay that's phase one and to start phase two which will take caltrain fourth and king underground to the transbay term and ultimately high speed rail if the high speed rail box will be powdered in the next most they've gathered funds in charge their project the melrose is part of the funding plan it is a great

opportunity for the board to continue it's commitment to an infrastructure project that will take the cars off the streets and the passenger load off airplanes that's from the lease efficient mode of transport. the cost the project is a going up daily as the need. the costs are associated with any delay and the question of jobs the operating engineers there are 44 members as of this morning arrest pits 2 hundred and 44 workers that are in danger oflogies housing. the engineers recognize the private investment in the district and the infrastructure project. again we are encourage all parties to reach a maturingly arresting partnership

>> thank you is there any public testimony at the time, we said before supervisor kim has a motion to continue this item to techniques item any objection. >> supervisor wiener has a comment. i imagine this is going to be continued i have serious concerns when this matter in a different formidable in july we had a discussion about how when you look at the melrose entities been proposed today will generated approximately $1.4 million phase one of the project we're seeing less and less money that is going to be left over for the fees two downtown extension every time

there's an a cost there or no money for the rooftop park the money that comes up to make up for it comes out of the downtown extension. the taxpayers want to pay less they've talked about the $4 million and even if something of a compromise quote/unquote that's not my term but the term being used it reached seven hundred or 8 hundred employing or one billion dollars over penny of that reduction comes out of the downtown extension. i say a scenario where this melrose will produce no money for the downtown extension even with what is being proposed right now in terms of what is left over of the $1.4 billion

that's not enough to complete that project. the tjpa stale r still has a whole list of possible funding streams to make sure we can complete downtown extension. and so when we hear talk will the melrose and the sequence those are phrases we're drawn to we want to have a sequence and try to get everyone on the same page but this scenario every dollar of quote/unquote sequence is a dollar not going to the downtown project left with no train service being routed and it will take longer to get p there. i understand the desire is have no more time i know the motion is for one week i know talk of

thirty days it's becomes an unraveling out of our position to fund the downtown extension that's a crucial part of the transportation future network of this city. i wanted to put that comment out there in the inspection of this motion >> the overall issue. >> thank you and with that, colleagues continue without objection. this will be continued to the ninth of september and the hearing held open >> that's at 3:00 p.m. >> call items 13 so there 15. impose the special order pursuant to a resolution adapted the board of supervisors will convene a committee as a whole for a public hearing for persons interested in the subject matter of 14 that was referred from for the land use committee and item 15 offender the portions of the
