9, 2015 and welcome to the finance committee of the san francisco county transportation authority, my name is john avalos and i am the chair of the committee and our clerk is steven stamos and i would like to announce the sfgtv staff who are broadcasting today and jim smith. could you read the first >> roll call. >> avalos. >> present. >> campos. >> present. >> cohen. >> present. >> kim. absent. >> mar. >> present. >> we have a quorum. >> okay let's go on to the next item please. >> consent calendar, items two and three, comprise the consent calendar, they are routine, and the staff is not presenting if a member objects any of them may be removed and considered separately. >> okay. we have two items that are on here, i don't see any comments from colleagues and go on to public comment and, anybody member from the public that

would like to comment on items two or three, seeing none, we will close public comment. and motion to approve these items. >> from supervisor compose, and seconded by mar and we will take that with a roll call vote. >> consent calendar, avalos. >> aye. >> campos. aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> passes. >> item four, state and federal legislative up date and this is an information item. n >> good morning, pleased to be here mark watts and the wear ors band outside and good luck on game three and so there are three measures that we are adding to the bill matrix, and all for a watched position and i could cover more briefly and unless you have questions and then the staff had a couple of items that they wanted me to

and that were not specifically matrix issues but catch you up on a few of the measures. >> and the first measure is ab, and 318 and by chiu and it is on page seven and it deals with a problem that the la metro has identified and that is the storage of lost or unclaimed bicycles, and they are asking for a pilot program, to be available state wide, to for the return, and, it did pass the assembly, and it is in the senate and it has not been set for a committee yet and it has, and it has run into the questions about the, and whether it is, and it is appropriate to move so we wanted to watch it for now, and rather than stake out a position, ab 1360 i is on page 19. and this deals with tnc's

desiring to allow split share, or split fares in their operation of their vehicles. and of the cpuc has taken the position and notified them that this is inappropriate and because the puc does believe that these are really closer and these uber and lyft is closer to a charter party carrier and there is a restriction in state law that prohibits split fares or reduced fares within a vehicle and this law or this bill will exempt tncs from that puc regulation. and allow smaller fares for individuals in a split share or a split fair circumstances. sorry. >> what item is that? >> that is ab1360, on page 19.

and the final bill to bring to your attention is ab 254 by allen on page 27. and this is a legislative alternative to something that the administration had hoped to do in the budget, and it is, it is a process to stream line and relinguis h the state and instead of having to bring it to the capitol for a special bill to authorize it after the commission has reviewed it and this will say except for the interstate segments or the major in the regional roads, if the locality and the department to an agreement they can go to the commission and the stream line process will apply and we think that there may be applicable and we will monitor that as well. >> okay. >> moving on, one of the most

interesting bills that self-help counties are following this year is ab 194 by mr. frasier that deals with the toll lanes and hot lanes and this bill is sponsored by the self-help county coalition and again this is another, legislative measure that was in competition for a while with an aappropriate that the administration sought to do as the budget trader bill and both houses rejected the approach and mr. frasier's bill is the last bill standing and it cleared readily through the assembly. and it is pending referral and the senate rules likely to go to the senate transand in the meantime there are discussions going on and there have been amendments put forward most notably by the transform, which is the ngo that is supports the transit operations and other forms of transportation. and they are saying that when in the case, and in a corridor

where there are excess revenues where you are using it to adjust the traffic and it may occur and the administration would like to have is an expenditure plan and the pill conceives of the plan, that deals with maintenance ongoing and rehabilitation preservation and activities, and the transformed proposal will be also to include as eligible expenditures transit service and active transportation. and i am not sure where the administration is going to come out on that and so this will be an issue that will be decided in the senate transportation committee, in addition, the committee consultants are in discussions with the author's office and one area that has emerged is how to treat low and moderate income drivers, who have access to or who would have access to hov lanes under this bill. and to in the case where, it is a hot lane, or a managed lane

that requires a transponder what is the right way to pay for or reimburse for the cost of it and la county has two roadways where they have a system in place that offsets them for the certain categories of the motorists so this will be an issue that will be worked out in transportation committee as well. and i have talked about this bill in the past but as a reminder this measure does have language particularly to the bay area that allows the local agencies, and as defined, which includes the cmas in the bay area as distinct from the ntc and the mp o it has the authority to develop the systems but under a language and mr. frasier's bill they have to do it in this area, in mtc would have to do it in

culttation jurisdiction and to operate under the operations and it would be unders the ages of mtc and so that is the framework in the bill now that the self-help county coalition is supporting and endorsing. senator bell's major transportation funding program is on the senate floor, and for parlimentary reasons and it remains eligible and the date to remove out of the senate was last friday and however because this has an emergency clause in it it is not subject to that and emerged in the last week or so, there had been a thought about trying to embed the transportation funding solution into part of the budget process. and that was decided not to be the approach, and basically the speaker's office and the protem's office have indicated that they would like to address the transportation package, including senator bell's bill later in the session and probably in august.

and i bring that up just to let you know that mtc is seeking several amendments that we would make you aware of them and one is that there is an incentive program of 5 percent of the revenues, off of the top, and they are set aside for new self-help counties but not existing self-help and mtc is saying, no we should broaden that using it, and so that the current counties that may be seeking in addition or an extension would also be eligible tap into that pot, and this could be, one of the more contentious issues because there are strong feelings by legislators on the side of the so-called aspiring counties that don't have the current sales taxes and then so i am not sure how it will turn out and it is an interesting discussion. one helpful amendment that i have come across is that while a lot of the state money is

going into the shop program which is the highway operation and the preservation program, one of the categories there is operational improvements and they want to clarify and mtc would like to clarify that indeed, the money can go for system operation, and management, and not just into preservation. a little bit more flexibility for the kinds of projects that are needed in the con guested areas of the state. and as a technical amendment, and there are also asking the author to consider making the five-year program his bill, permit rather than a five year sunset. and one of the measure, set, the staff asked me to bring to your attention, is ab 40, we have spoken about this in the past and this started off as a prohibition of the tolls on the golden gate bridge as it passed through at december assembly and so any of
