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 record but administratively determined enforcement actions.

>> what is a forward facing cameras those are cameras on the sfmta park control. >> no on the buses. >> oh okay. >> specifically for the busses. >> yeah. so sorry about that >> this is for the busses. >> for the busses what in their double parking in the bus lane and second for high occupancy lanes this didn't currently exist. >> no, but it is for i've it is not for the high occupancy on the bridge. >> is this a trader for san francisco. >> yes. >> we currently don't do this type of enforcement. >> we have the curiosity authority for the double parking but not the moving violations if a car is in the bus lane we don't have the authority to fin

them. >> only if their double-parked how do you approve that if you take a photo of a car parked in front of you how would you demonstrate it car is doubled parked i'm imaging kind of the conflict that will cause that. >> i don't think that's been a problem to date but we can find out. >> we can find out today. >> yeah. the moving violation tickets i don't know if anyone from mta is here. >> i know it's not within our department i'm curious i've not heard of one getting a ticket i think we should i support this legislation and think i know that state came up in conversations with the mta i'm surprised we've been able to not hear much about it i'm curious how effective it is i do think

this is important to enforce and make sure that is the transit lane but i wanted to make sure it is being realized and the section which the abdomen an 1160 pro bono automateed traffic signals when we're pro bono automated traffic signals. >> this includes all the red light cameras. >> so all 60 cameras that exist today we'll pause and study every single one we currently have. >> that's correct. >> i definitely support proposing that (laughter). >> i'm curious how many and this is not a question how many cameras do we have in the city enforcement cameras. >> i don't know but the idea

ability to track you know how the project is initiated by the city but caltrain it the owner of the material and the city has to sign a mapping festive we transport to the location. >> so caltrain may get to reinforce the caltrain authority. >> we had some hope we'll be able to partner with them for the total of it because they laid material there 5 or 10 years ago and in the ends they feel like that project is independent of f this is the city's responsibility because we're disturbing the material in order to build the ramp even though officially that's their ramp we're the ones causing the ramp to be rebuilt and the materiality to be disturbed so

on behalf of ocii we're going to need to dispose of it not caltrain. >> i said what caltrain is saying that's net necessarily the right thing to do are we giving up anything. >> we asked the same questions and brought it up to the caltrain and they felt that because the material you know reflects some of the contamination in the other parts of site this cough happened as part of the approach but when they completed the project at the ended their relationship when we came back to try to reopen the project that's a new project that they don't have the responsibility for the new project. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you and thank you for your presentation a question i have and with me is the next fiscal

year budget 2015-2016 not before us but looking at the sales tax how do you intend to budget it for the next fiscal year for the sales tax. >> we've actually worked with beacon they're projecting about 3 percent increase instead increase we have reviewed this ever two years in addition to working with the controller's office in terms of how we are going to budget for this we're in the process of it we're going to be bringing this with a financial look in june. >> do we have the final projection for sales tax.

>> we tried to stay online that's why i contacted them why they have that number this is how- what we have on our boxes we try to reconcile to a number that's close in the last year's we've pretty much taken the last number. >> the biggest change for the budget is $25 million for the mta's installment. >> yes. that's the capital expenditure budget yes that's correct. >> do you speed up that the costs we're not concurring this year will roll over to the next year. >> yes. >> okay seeing no other comments from the committee we can opening it up for public comment any member of the public

>> colleagues we're adjourned thank you >> there has been an acknowledgement of the special places around san francisco bay. well, there is something sort of innate in human beings, i think, that tend to recognize a good spot when you see it, a spot that takes your breath away. this is one of them. >> an icon of the new deal. >> we stood here a week ago and we heard all of these dignitaries talk about the

symbol that coit tower is for san francisco. it's interesting for those of us in the pioneer park project is trying to make the point that not only the tower not only this man-built edifice here is a symbol of the city but also the green space on which it sits and the hill to which is rests. to understand them you have to understand the topography of san francisco. early days of the city, the city grows up in what is the financial district on the edge of chinatown. everything they rely on for existence is the golden gate. it's of massive importance to the people what comes in and out of san francisco bay. they can't see it where they are. they get the idea to build a giant wooden structure. the years that it was up here, it gave the name telegraph hill. it survived although the structure is long gone. come to the 1870's and the city has growed up remarkably.

it's fueled with money from the nevada silver mines and the gold rush. it's trying to be the paris of the west. now the beach is the suburbs, the we will their people lived on the bottom and the poorest people lived on the top because it was very hard getting to the top of telegraph hill. it was mostly lean-to sharks and bits of pieces of houses up here in the beginning. and a group of 20 businessmen decided that it would be better if the top of the hill remained for the public. so they put their money down and they bought four lots at the top of the hill and they gave them to the city. lily hitchcock coit died without leaving a specific use for her bequest. she left a third of her estate for the beautify indication of the city. arthur brown noted architect in the city wanted for a while to build a tower. he had become very interested in persian towers. it was the 1930's.

it was all about machinery and sort of this amazing architecture very powerful architecture. he convinced the rec park commission that building a tower in her memory would be the thing to do with her money. >> it was going to be a wonderful observation place because it was one of the highest hills in the city anywhere and that that was the whole reason why it was built that high and had the elevator access immediately from the beginning as part of its features. >> my fear's studio was just down the street steps. we were in a very small apartment and that was our backyard. when they were preparing the site for the coit tower there was always a lot of harping and griping about how awful progress was and why they would choose this beautiful pristine area to do them in was a big

question. as soon as the coit tower was getting finished and someone put in the idea that it should be used for art then all of a sudden, he was excited about the coit tower. it became almost like a daily destination for him to enjoy the atmosphere no matter what the politics, that wasn't the point. as long as they fit in and did their work and did their own creative expression, that was all that was required. they turned in their drawings. the drawings were accepted. if they snuck something in, well, there weren't going to be any stoolies around. they made such careful little diagrams of every possible little thing about it as though

that was just so important and that they were just the big frog. and, actually, no one ever felt that way about them and they weren't considered something like that. in later life when people would approach me and say well, what did you know about it? we were with him almost every day and his children, we grew up together and we didn't think of him as a commie and also the same with the other. he was just a family man doing normal things. no one thought anything of what he was doing. some of them were much more highly trained. it shows in my estimation, in the murals. this was one of the masterpieces. families at home was a lot more

close to the life that i can remember that we lived. murals on the upper floors like the children playing on the swings and i think the little deer in the forest where you could come and see them in the woods and the sports that were always available, i think it did express the best part of our lives. things that weren't costing money to do, you would go to a picnic on the beach or you would do something in the woods. my favorite of all is in the staircase. it's almost a miracle masterpiece how he could manage to not only fit everyone of course, a lot of them i recognized from my childhood -- it's how he juxtaposed and managed to kind of climb up that stairway on either side very much like you are walking

down a street. it was incredible to do that and to me, that is what depicted the life of the times in san francisco. i even like the ones that show the industrial areas, the once with the workers showing them in the cannery and i can remember going in there and seeing these women with the caps, with the nets shuffling these cans through. my parents had a ranch in santa rosa and we went there all summer. i could see these people leaning over and checking. it looked exactly like the beautiful things about the ranch. i think he was pretty much in the never look back philosophy about the coit. i don't think he ever went to visit again after we moved from telegraph hill which was only five or six years later.

i don't think he ever had to see it when the initials are scratched into everything and people had literally destroyed the lower half of everything. >> well in my view, the tower had been pretty much neglected from the 1930's up until the 1980's. it wasn't until then that really enough people began to be alarmed about the condition of the murals, the tower was leaking. some of the murals suffered wear damage. we really began to organize getting funding through the arts commission and various other sources to restore the murals. they don't have that connection or thread or maintain that connection to your history and your past, what do you have? that's one of the major elements of what makes quality of life in san francisco so incredible.

when people ask me and they ask me all the time, how do you get to coit tower, i say you walk. that's the best way to experience the gradual elevation coming up above the hustle and bustle of the city and finding this sort of oasis, if you will at the top of the hill. when i walk through this park, i look at these brick walls and this lawn, i look at the railings around the murals. i look at the restoration and i think, yeah, i had something to do with that. learning the lessons thank you, landmarks meet landmarks. the current situation at pioneer park and coit tower is really based in public and private partnership. it was the citizens who came together to buy the land to keep it from being developed.

it was lily hitchcock coit to give money to the city to beautify the city she loved of the park project worked to develop this south side and still that's the basis of our future project to address the north side. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> this is smack in the middle of the tenderloin neighborhood where there are 50000 people within walking distance. you see the kids that are using what's provided, but there is so much opportunity for this to be a stronger, more welcoming,
