7:38 am
will pay for a initiative bike lane two large parks one the well known rooftop park and a beautiful under used park with the children's mraushgd and eateries and other things it will pay for boublts and the extension of caltrain to the downtown area the residents are super excited about and the developers have agreed to hold up their bargain and agreed to pay for the full tax amount and have an continuance inform expend the number of years from thirty to 34 years. to emphasize those changes will not impact our ability and as a
7:39 am

7:40 am
referring to it as a compromise because we're getting all the money or the tjpa is getting all the money we were seeking so we're not there's been a position taken by the developers the amount should be dramatically reduced by perhaps a few million dollars but this resolution will provide the tjpa with all the money it had been anticipating we've been proposing in this proposed melrose it will be in terms of the tjpas ability to on or about bonds and receive cash actually build the infrastructure projects that timing will not be affected they'll get the funds and all this that is changing is the structure for the payment of what the developers are required to pay.
7:41 am
into the melrose fund. and the additional two weeks will allow you and your office to not only make the required amendments but to obtain all the iron clad waivers from the developers not from the develops a lawsuit a challenge to the melrose and actually required to vote for the melrose that think a timetable that works did i get that right of >> you go got it exactly right thank you. >> with that, before we went into closed session for me what matters is we're making sure we have the funding for the critical transit projects so given this resolution first of all, i want to thank the mayor for really standing firm i want to reiterate what supervisor kim
7:42 am
said there's a way to approach let's give up the money but the mayor stood firm and i want to thank the developers and their council for you know, i i think making their position known and understanding what the board and the mayors positions were and then coming up with what seems at first glance to be a solid resolution so give that having it is two week continuance locking it down makes sense. >> with that, colleagues unless further discussion if i can entertain a motion continuing to hold this up until september 22nd. supervisor kim and supervisor farrell we'll take that without objection. that is the case and with that, mr. clerk. could you read the the memoriams
