>> mr. watts here to present. >> good morning, chair and committee a number of bills to recommend for action i thought i'd start with the 0 opposed bills are on the agenda and go into the support mr. patterson introduced ab 1138 only page 38 of your matrix is the acquisition of the railways upon having a full funding understanding for the entire sect so to put that into terms the initial construction seethe the first is under construction second packages that are going out to bid shortly and another package the funding four those have not been fully identified this as the effect in essence of bringing the construction to a

halt that puts it in jeopardy we recommend an approval. >> can you say what the temperature is open the bill. >> yes. and mr. patterson introduced this is probably the most clever of the bill to bring the high speed rail to a halt but previous efforts in the last session failed as well. >> thank you. >> mr. harper from rojs introduced the city and county from that stalling the systems and any existing go traffic systems will be subject to an, an intersection basis with new engineering studies to validate the safety of the intersections

i don't think it is going to go well, we recommend this in that case. >> thank you. >> they don't have cars in orange county. >> next mr. mr. vallejo recommend the supporting of the measure in essence two things it deals with the transportation finance and with one regard it says any outstanding loans between the general fund and the state transportation programs to be repaid it is accelerated and needs to move money forward and secondary it extends the law on the books the public-private law section which is the foundational statute that led to the city parkway those are

suggesting to move into support and . >> do we expect the governors support. >> the concern is the department of finance accelerating the loans they have not expressed it yet but the confuses they'll recommend it be opposed but i think over time a variety of ways to make the repayments to the projects funding ab 378 on page 7 it is currently an statement we're recommending support it is seeking to enhance the state route 101 corridor and stakeholder communications are are engaged in trying to come up what the framework of the bill it is a champ within accident

next week convert the bill into a construction and the staff and i recommend this support rather than watching the intent mr. mullins with the on or about an 64 on page 7 an interesting bill deals with the stating cap on county by county basis for a special tax formals sales tax instead of the two percent it raises to 3 percent to eliminate the counties to go get a special exception record. >> it could be passed added protective but has to have voters approval. >> no for uniformity sake it is for the percentage take that cap to 3 percent in the statute.

>> and the legislator could pass this and creates another step before voting. >> there's another measure that deals with thresholds. >> mr. mullins on behalf of the ab 5516 requires the dmv to develop a new temporary license plate so in the period between the sale of the vehicle and the appearance of the real plate law enforcement and toll operators will identify and tow the vehicle it failed to pass last year and you know again. >> so this comes with an appropriations as well. >> that will be a state mandate i didn't look at what the mandate is on this i'm sure

there is one gentleman introduced on or about an 65 simply extends the 3 p law definitely a lot of interest amounting to this law and he's really motivated he visited chile this year and looked at the fine facilities that are in place and figured out it is a tool we're going recommending support there are two manufacturer going through the assembly that deals with this matter. >> ab 1287 by mr. chiu allows the extent of the forward-looking camera so for law enforcement purposes that authors it for parking and the lane intersection of

construction as enforceable we recommend support on that measure i alluded to the still amendment on page 168 reduce the threshold to 55 percent for special tax for transportation so that will be broader than the sales tax it is handy to have places for the rental fee laws you continually of a couple years ago that is going to the ballot there's a debate if this is the time to do it i know that private polling is saying the voters are not interested at this point in time but this is a two year cycle we'll see how to progresses through the process mr. bill introduced sb 24 on page 21 addresses the port

they've adapted the excise tax rate for diesel in the coming year and doing so reduced the excise tax and resulted in 7 to $800000 loss that it in revenue his bill tries to address keeping up to the tax law from a couple of years ago to keep the laws in play what's prop 22 and the new excise tax neutral he goes in and extends the period for what they expect the revenues to be to 5 years it has been 3 years we've seen in the past 3 cycles the 3 percent increase of $0.03 decrease and now a decrease you're seeing the spiking or the voebltd in their

estimation and this addresses that volatility that go smooths out over time we recommend support for that finally sb 564 is one of the gentleman's two bills to address safety near schools this will increase the penalties for speed violators for vehicles that are passing the schools a similar bill the governor vetoed it didn't express the support for the finances but the safe routes to school and save 0 routes and other stakeholders are trying to overcome that so those are the ones that are on the agenda that we're recommending actions on one other bill i'll bring your attention it is going to be the

administration's trailer bill it deals with h o v lane it is post on the website it is not in bill form it is similar to not ideal to ab 194 by mr. frazier those two issues will be the frazer bill sports by the coalition i've not seen the language at the time they were ready to introduce it so they're to introduce it as a fall back the trailer bill the administration it proposing authorizes on with an hand caltrain to do the feinstein and each group will be subject to approval by the state transportation system there are guidelines that will be in place

if this bill passes issue surround the trailer process that goes through a process that is much more quickly than the stand alone bill we've arrived and monitoring the hearing basis for when this trailer bill will be developing the strategy to influence influence the budget subcommittee on the trailer bill so i want to bring your attention and i think i'll suggest the staff add if on the agenda for the future may be as an agenda item but for tracking. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you just following up on ab 194 where are we in terms of efforts to you know protect local interests i'm sure you're working with staff don't you talk about that a little bit. >> sure i think tilly wanted to talk

about that. >> thank you, mark and if you for the question supervisor campos we have in conversations with m t c staff in the region of bay area and the original bill of 194 has language that authorizes in consultation we're seeking stronger language have to a meaningful rule in the development of h o v or carpool lanes this means with regard to setting the policy and with regard to the policy of the lanes and the use of funds we want to make sure that san francisco, california weigh in property as a true partner to the region as we develop the facilities on our part of the network in the east bay and

south bay their lanes authorized and developing those with a counterpart agencies we want to make sure our experience improves on that we're to demand tradeoffs and next month we'll come to the board with a initially policy paper for the lane network typed we'll seek our enforcement to engage the conversations with the development of the lanes and if you wish to proceed in that direction we'll carry that forward. >> that will be helpful what's the response of m t c staff. >> they are committed to developing the future networks in the city and county and the cooperation they've not agreed

to the language yet. >> thank you supervisor mar. >> yeah. mr. watts i have a question about the senate bill i'm supportive of the position on sb 564 i i'd like to take this opportunity to ask about the billion dollars one to create the prima facie around schools to give more strength to the schools zone limited to 15 mile-per-hour it is a main reason to be careful because local jurisdiction should have flexibility to deal with this on the highways. >> yeah. i believe that's true in addition, this bill was supported by the county not the ta they've had an aggressive save route to schools in their east county area and desperately trying to put something into

play we've discovered in the introduction of the bill the bill extends the safety school zone 3 hundred to 1320. >> why. >> because it was a recommendation in other states so they adapted that their neglect he flexible and other state laws and laws that are to the school zone recommendation you may be preempting the local control they're going back to the drawing boards a way to accumulate the current laws and achieve a broader school zone. >> i'm guessing they're talking about the sloan slowing down of transit. >> they've not weighed in but i

believe you're correct. >> i wanted to urge a recommendation for the toll for people on page 3 of your handout and on page 9 thoughtful packet to make sure we're supportive of increasing walking and biking in the city we're going to be looking at our support of the policies in our full board the golden gate bridge is a historic terror many of us in san francisco and many around the world come to enjoy it couldn't be restricted and i want to say that it is expensive enough to live in the city so when people want to exercise they're right it should be as much public

access as possible and charging has a negative impact on the walkers on the bridge i want to talk about walk sf and the coalition thank them for being on top of the issues and bill with his work i move we take up support on this recommendation. >> recommendation from staff. >> i understand it - it is a watch position from staff i ask we move if watch to support. >> okay second. >> and on that motion can we take that without objection? >> yes. >> public comment. >> yeah. we have to take public comment. >> oh, roll call vote we'll go to public comment first but supervisor kim has a question. >> is that on ab 40 although i appreciate and support that measure i want to go back to the

traffic endorsement camera i wanted clarity to legislations that you've talked about today, the first is the assemblyman chiu's ab state and federal 87 i'm curious what type of enforcements on parking it is the effort what specifically are we enforcing through the cameras and proposals on this legislation. >> well what kind of parking violations. >> i don't know. >> that's what i was assuming i can't answer that. >> supervisor kim currently we have the authority to enforce double parking but not moving violations is to the continued moving violation it is a traffic violation or a point on the
