for low to moderate students the sfmta advised us of their intent we recommend you approve the resolution as amended. >> thank you, mr. rose colleagues questions or comments we'll open this up for public comment on this item seeing none, why don't we close public comment it is now closed supervisor avalos. >> i'll go after you john. >> a question i have i know that we're designating in terms of the amendment the analyzed amending to this to specify we're sincerely 1923 to 22 years old that have a disagreement i'm wondering what the difference between that in terms of cost

we're going to have free muni program for all the people in the special ed program regardless of income so there's a major difference i'm asking this because there was a policy desire for the community that free muni would be free muni regardless of income that's one the advocacy points made this year by the muni that was lobbied lobbied i wanted to understand what the mta is putting forwards is there a repel difference between the program that will serve all people from special ed from 19 to 22 and we're saying low to middle-class youth. >> the program is relatively small and would be a relatively

small population from low to moderate in the school district. >> do i have a sense of the difference if we were to be. >> maybe 50 additional students. >> i guess by changing the language in the resolution are we actually changing the scope of the program if we don't include this is this language did that make a difference in the delivery of the service. >> the amendment being proposed by the budget analyst is an over set forth on our part to state to low to moderate income and this is consistent with our exciting program for free muni youth. >> and if we didn't make the amendment what's the difference. >> without the language it would i think there would have

to be a second fair amendment. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney the board of supervisors doesn't have the authority to amend the mta board of directors budget resolution you could by 7 out of 11 vote reenth this budget amendment and the mta board could come back with something else but you can't change that by this resolution. >> in this case we're asking for the amendment this amendment is actually making the resolution consistent with the program that's been designed by the mta. >> right. right >> which specifics the age group. >> so i think the budget analyst clarifies what the mta board has done whether or not you make that classification the mta boards resolution is what it is

do - >> okay supervisor mar. >> i was going to ask ms. hamon's for the free muni for low to moderate focus that passed through the mta in 2013 how did he define it i know that the demand councilmember alvarez said for the free muni for youth was for all students how do we define i i guess free and reduced lunch would be the easiest for low to moderate income. >> the definitions is one hundred percent in the bay area medium income significantly higher than the free to muni in this. >> what's the bmi. >> so for a family of $497,000

and then i know there's commitments to extend to low to moderate seniors and know know what the recent budget 18-years old were added in i'm just it looks like this is for special ed students ease their transitional age between 18 to or 19 to 22 what happened so the 18-years old are already covered so you would. >> yes. in the budget dilatation 9 board of supervisors approved the budget for the 18 years old and that's moving forward we're in the process. >> thank you. >> thanks very much city attorney can we describe it. >> yes. john gibner, deputy

city attorney again under the charter the board of supervisors has limit the budget you can reject the budget or let it go into effect by not actressing or approve it by motion who what was introduced by the mta was a resolution to approve the budget but gives the mayor the right to veto but the mayor does not have a role in this process the budget before i would change this item from a resolution to another motion because it's chula within the board's jurisdiction and add language around the sequa determination made by the among other things just to have a title in the body of the motion what i distributed includes the budget analysts recommended amendments by certainly could

take that out. >> thank you, mr. city attorney colleagues could we have a motion to accept the city attorney's motion we'll take that without objection. we'll have a discussion on the other item okay. then the flooilg item as amended we'll take that without objection. piety so moved. >> madam clerk please call item 7. >> item 7 is a resolution authorizing an increasing in the principle amount of the wastewater by $200 million not to exceed $500 million to the time by the public utilities commission in the wastewater entries. >> i'm charles the deputy financial officer this is an increase for the paper program for the watermelon enterprise it is currently $300 million and

requesting an increase of 2 hundred millions our water enterprise has a paper program of that $500 million level we've used it that to prefund our capital projects in between your long term financial he debt assurances i have a few slides to walk you through it if you time. >> why not ask questions if we have them colleagues seeping mr. rose our report please. >> mr. chair and members of the committee the requested increase in the puc's authorization of the enterprise paper commercial

development this has been newly complel rehabbed by current owners that join us sam and another sam this is a unique transitioned from two perspectives the terms i'll go into in a moment and two the asset itself so in this case we have what is really a brand new asset with new infrastructure to new accelerators and the uniqueness of the sro is each unit has a separate boom and it's not something we usually find this project is made possible by the city's participation in the 25 cities initiate a collaboration of cities across

the united states the veterans affairs department hud and the international council of homelessness all in a project to end chronicic homelessness this is a meaningful way towards that goal in this case, the transition requires the fiscal participation i want to stressing that the partnership from the va where aren't with respect to their wrap around it is not necessary services and the hud you vouchers in the budget analyst report it was valued and a at one-hundred $7 million of the first year of the overall extensions this is an important note without that partnership we wouldn't be here before you today the transition itself is at the

$1,190 per unit we've capped it at 2 hundred and 5 thousand dollars per year that's air overall cost of maintenance that is the master leases it the typically capped at a per unit base it leads to fingerpointing how it it defined those caps have not proved use full since the budget analyst report was issued we'll pleased to report that ownership was agreed upon and a reduction over the first 10 year term to one percent rather than two percent that is modified but a 9 hundred

thousand plus savings to the city ovsh over the term it has a 5 year renewal option subject to board approval i've joined by a host of folks that can answer questioning questions but want to bring up amanda to talk about the details of the project. >> thank you. >> good afternoon amanda freed from the office of hope but i did want to thank you for your consideration of the lease today? a extraordinary momentum to end veterans homelessness in san francisco i'm joined by folks from the va and veterans themselves who came to speak about what this building means
