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
