>> [gavel] >> good afternoon and welcome to a special meeting of the government audit and oversight committee of the board of supervisors i am chair and i am joined by supervisor yee to my left. >>thank you mme. clerk could you please read the 1st and only item.[reading item]

>>i want to thank mr. yoder and mr. antweiowe had a meeting last month on the role of the legislative branches together and directing your role in sacramento and there was a bunch of process improvements leading up to that hearing and i'm very

pleased that you are here in person thank you for making the trip on short notice from sacramento in the middle of a very active legislative session in our state capital--and i want to thank mrs nicole wheaton-elliott. and her staff for the work that with a have done and were now getting minutes from the legislation committee that we have been in endeavoring here at the board regarding pieces of state legislation to get them in your hand in our clerk has been giving them to use so that's been a resolution on our part and i want to give an opportunity for the public is watching as well as my colleagues to get to know you're in person it was a pleasure to get to meet know you over a bowl of soup i confess i am sick and have a fever so thank you for

humoring me and i just want to start by giving the 3 of you josh, paul, and karen an opportunity to introduce yourselves to the committee and tell us a little bit about what you do and then we've got a few questions relative to pending pieces of legislation. so can i start with you josh. >>thank you supervisor peskin and supervisor yee. my name is joshua schall and i want to thank you for scheduling this on a friday. we know your hearings are usually on a thursday and they are tough they for us. mondays through thursdays last night we had a meeting that went until 10 pm it would've been tough to get here on the normally scheduled

time. we have 4 other registered lobbyists that could be involved in the city of san francisco we have a pretty big and robust team who have been working for the city and county since i think the fall of 2012 so we're going into our 4th year representing you and we have been nothing but proud and pleased to work with the local electives in the city and county on behalf of your government and more importantly, those who live here and visit the city and county of san francisco. it is a point of specific pride for our firm to be working for this great municipality in california. if you would like the others can introduce themselves individually. >>sure mr. yoder. >>thank you thank you supervisor peskin ,

supervisor yee i am happy to be lobbying for this great city and county. we are on the job for you every single day in the california state capital. not just with your three-member legislative delegation but with every member of the california legislature. every key player in the brown administration and throughout the bureaucracy in sacramento. again, it's an honor to be here today and we look forward to answering any questions for you today. >>mrs. lang. >>good afternoon mr. chair and supervisor yee. my name is karen lange i have been working with the firm over 10 years and i'm very pleased to be representing the city and county of san francisco and it's a point of professional pride to work for you. >>thank you on behalf of the

city and county of san francisco. miss wheaton- elliott anything that you would like to go to add? okay no. thank you.so a lot in the state revolves around the affordable housing and the board has takena few specific pieces of legislation and we passed a a resolution that we forwarded to you and i'd like to ask where it that bill is at an as well pending before the board on 24 may i introduced a similar resolution which we will hear this coming tuesday with regard to the governors by right proposal which we obviously are quite concerned

with since san francisco leads the state relative to affordable housing production we do not want to be penalized with a one-size-fits-all solution so we would like to talk a little bit more about that in public if we made but to start with i'd like to bring some backgrounds what you guys did relative to advocating the board. let me take a step back and this is the policy body of san francisco once we take a policy that becomes the policy body of the entire city and county including the entire branch and with that in we did take a position on this resolutionand i'd like to know where we stand on that.

>>as of receipt of your board we expect apple to be heardjune 24 and i would characterize it as making the rounds as far as the key members of the legislature and the brown administration making sure that they understand that that resolution was adopted by resolution in this board and that they understand what that encompasses. >>are we have any success with gov. beal with the

performance-based language? >>i don't want to quantify right now. but am comfortable with saying that the chairman of the committee is very aware and the staff that work for them in that committee are very aware of the board's position and i think obviously that we have one state sen. and i think they are in part very aware of the board's position and the credit belongs to sen. len oh in that respect as well. and so i think that is moving along. i would add that last night in the conference committee you did ask for the governor's proposal as well when that proposal came up before the conference committee which sen. leno does cochair and he did take an issue procedurally with the measure being proposed so late in the budgets cycle but also to the

language being proposed to the brown administration. he did suggest that jurisdiction such as san francisco that are working so hard to assure affordability if that's taken into account if the measurement is going to have legs as we say in sacramento. >>does your firm have contacts with the governor's staff in regard to this matter? >>we do. not only with the governor's staff but part of the brown administration on this issue which would be the ledgeslegislation which is held by ben metcalfe. >>are there any legislations

going on right now? >>will be important to note now is that we are picking up through a variety of sources which the governor and staff have made a claim through their legislative leadership that they do expect a buy write proposal to be in the mix of part of the state legislation in response to the senate legislation in the no place like home initiative and on the democratic side a proposal to augment state housing programs by hundreds of millions of dollars in their way or of birth of

those proposals and their open to those proposals and their indicating to legislative leaderships that they are only open to those proposals of some form of by right how about this? how about if we phrase it as housing reform or policy reform because we certainly don't want to mischaracterize the governor's position. but i think it is safe to say that they would like to see policy changes to housing law in california along with potentially the money that the senate is proposing and the legislation proposing. >>is the governor aware of the

legislation that is pending that we will take up on tuesday? >>to the pending resolution i would honestly answer no. it would certainly be our plan when in it that is approved the make sure that the right folks are aware of its approval. >>mr. elliott, is there any other contacts with either the legislative branch of our government in sacramento or the executive branch that is not going through our city lobbyists? are there any direct negotiations coming from mayor, staff, or executive branch through the legislature or the government? >> supervisor yee. >>thanks for coming down on friday and hopefully you won't rush back. hopefully you will spend some time in the city and spend some money so we can increase our tax base, right? it's good to have an opportunity to actually meet you because when i was on the

school board we had our lobbyists and . come pretty regularly and meet with the board. and we actually got a lot of information from the sessions. one of the resolutions that we passed in the past that we support just recently and hopefully you got a copy of that too, it was related to the budget in terms of the women's caucus wanting 8 million for early education and childcare and its recommended to the assembly and the assembly is recommending 600 billion and 90 million from the senate and 0 from

the governor. can you tell me what process you would take to advocate for a position? >>1st again, i would want to state that when we get the resolution, carcass being very good at making sure- i just don't want to leave her out of this starting with heard delegation everyone is in receipt of this resolution. in terms of how to advocate for that this really is a very astounding year in the sense that you have 3 members of the legislator representing you in 2 members sitting on the dais

cochairing the conference committee. i think 1st and foremost for your board to take a position in for it to be known by the 2 members of legislature who is cochairing as they would have it at the budget conference committee this year is probably the best path to success on that and we can assure you that weand that they are aware of that on that issue. >> as it rates to the trailing legislation that is moving so quickly the city of san francisco that has not taken a position nor have many of the leading housing advocacy groups in san francisco that

and you can't say it paul but i can say it that this deal to basically trade money for a statewide by right policy proposal that is not been a position of this board. we obviously would like to see more affordable housing throughout the state but as of san francisco the by right concept is hypothetical to the kinds of tools that we've used for affordable housing in fact they use processes allowed us and we say this all the time in these chambers to extend affordable housing for beyond our affordable solutions. i think this edible solution could be the solution to affordable housing to the extent this could be indicated

to the government and to the state staff and in front of the conference committee which would be extremely helpful. i would like a what you guys are doing with regard to the california quality act with its local use of a negotiating tool which allowed local legislators to bump up what is required in the state and locally? >>i think on that aspect of the housing discussion that is underway in sacramento right now i want to make sure that the board members and the public are aware that statewide labor organizations are joined with statewide environmental organizations not once but twice to jointly correspond with the members

of legislature and with the brown administration and there have been a very, very, nimble. there was an a in original version of the governments proposal and they reacted to that and there was a 2nd governor's proposal and they reacted to that and they are really calling out not just i will say in a myriad of ways how their current proposal will impact ceqa. and i don't think that we indicated that in either of the letters the 1st or the 2nd and we would like to indicate that in any way that we can. >>i know there are members that would like to testify and we can incorporate any other questions into these proceeding. so come on up.

>>good afternoon supervisor peskin were sorry you're feeling under the weather today. we would hope that the city of sacramento's lobbyists are supporting the governments efforts on our behalf. the plain truth is that are housing affordability and displacement crisis are getting worse years and years because we lack the tools to make a difference. as gov. brown and the legislative analyst office correctly noted we do not have the resources

to get our way out of this predicament were in. and less we have dramatic ways to improve housing production it doesn't seem likely that low income and increasingly middle income families can be lowered much less stopped. asking our state representative to oppose the governor's proposals would in this cause other legislations throughout the state to oppose the request. what exempting ourselves from the imperative to build more housing be more likely or less likely that the governor will give us the subsidies that we all want for affordable housing. the governor's proposal moves us to [inaudible] we believe will guarantee a continuation of this crisis. thank you for your consideration.

>>thank you. next speaker please. >>my name is brian hamlin i'm a housing advocate. i cofounded a nonprofit housing affordable works throughout the state. i think you for being here as well. i do hope that as supervisor peskin mentioned that you inform sacramento the unique position that san francisco faces. with a very convoluted entitlement process that renders our land use policies dead letter and subject everything to negotiation which makes it more difficult to build affordable housing. and 100% affordable housing can be called up for years in legislation before it's able to be built. i want to discuss the unique position of san francisco's political

coalitions. they are opposing ab 2501. the california legal assistance foundation and others there is a strange split between state-level and corporate housing advocates and more politically engaged housing advocates in the city. i do hope you convey to sacramento that what happens and what is happening in san francisco is a large measure and does not represent the voice of all those who care about making san francisco a more affordable and inclusive place. i would also like to address this idea that the governor's proposal is a one-size-fits-all policy. that is nonsense. the governor propose all suggest that each of the cities follow

their own housing requirements and subsidies. whatever local requirements exist that have confirmed that and i think this is all a red herring and if we want to make san francisco a more affordable, inclusive city we should support the governor's agenda ab 2501 and other housing bills. >>thank you next speaker please. >>hi my name is sonja trouts i represent the renters foundation and we think this is the type of bill that will ease the shortage. a week ago on tuesday 15 of us took off work to the san sacramento

housing committee some calls to the senator len office yesterday 800 san franciscans sent postcards to leno. we will have at the polls on the 7th because tang and leno are

going to look and say are there boots on the ground there? this is a one-size-fits-all housing on does is direct you to follow your own rules. this is something that is radical for californian totally normal for the rest of the united states. almost every other city has as a rights development because it's redundant for the planning department to make a plan and have the development have to come back to the planning department asked for permission for something that is already put there. >>thank you next speaker please. good afternoon members of the board and guess locally my name is mr. cohen

we are a coalition of local san francisco affordable housing organizations that build affordable housing manage properties and provide advocacy. for the most part the position if you will comes from our coalition and the governor and assembly member bloom and the governor endor blooms bill but they put some serious policy on the board this year and it is some radical stuff and it is one-size-fits-all and is moving too quickly and it hasn't been designed well enough. there's 482 cities and 52 counties and it is a huge state and there's no one

set of policies that play out the same in any city. if you lobby on behalf of the city which is only one of 482 we acid that be made clear. i think it's interesting to hear the supervisors that are here to say that the board of supervisors is the policy body for the city for both executive and legislative and that you folks are representing the policy body. it's nice to hear the opinion of other folks here are but they are not lobbying you. they can lobby the board of supervisors or anything else but if you were advocating the position of the policy body of the city and county of san francisco and as such you are in an animus resolution on 2501 to seek an amendment to exempt san francisco based on their

standards and that the reasonable thing to do. there is a bill with some very serious amendments potentially for san francisco. the rest of us civilians can argue this all they want regardless of it goes to the board are not. this is a completely chaotic place and what hearing it goes to a what time of day it is and what gets called up. it's not like what we have here today members of the board. so, we can jump in the car and drive all the way to sacramento but we need you guys to be supporting that. the message on the ground in the city is key. thank you. [timer dings]

>> vis-à-vis the statewide organizations can you regale us with that information? >> well whether or not in public chambers, the difference between state level organizations and where people work in between as i can to be so smooth. on the governor's trailer bill nor the amendments have been incorporated on the revised bill that came out last saturday. they came to

a very politically pragmatic position that at least they would be able to negotiate some improvements to the bill but having a really robust conversation about what the global implications are on the ground whether it be san francisco or oakland or los angeles or a lot of jurisdictions in long beach and elsewhere over the last week we've been talking to a lot of folks and those local to state conversations did not shape that position. whether the amendments that they asked for are good ones are not is one question but the idea of a trade off or money or implications there's going to have to be a lot more before we sign on to it and we certainly have not. >>can you articulate what the county organizations would like to see relative to the amendments of the by right? >>well supervisor, think in our circumstances and i think other people in the room would agree can speak to that for san francisco. maybe there is a righteousness a were a

purpose for having a pretension policy from san francisco. i think a buy right preemption is a bad policy as you said we produce more affordable housing than anyone besides la we havedo not sit around and wait for this legislation. it means

there is a by right approval from what you have been required to do. there should be an additional premium above local inclusionary to realize there is a real value for developers in exchange for something whatever that assumption is and secondly, as of the amendment that came in last friday that's taken right out of the bonus law for the most part. we have in many jurisdictions and taken from the folks in santa monica today have local demolition controls and the point being if you're allowing the by right approval of a project that simply replaces units and preempts local demolition control and policy discussion that is a big game changer and then the 3rd thing is that we really think that this is aboutbuilding housing and that

is the presumption from the governor's speech and we want to build more housing now not take so much time so a buy right approval does not build units. a buy rate approval get you paper. so, we are setting up a faster way to entitle more development and we are not assuring that it's going to get constructed. even if i would suspend my analytical disc belief in market rehousing filtering we would go from re-title meant to construction as soon as possible and we would have the maximum period of time from when title meant to construction and we want to see units built not

entitlement. i would not claim it is a treat offer by right but it would certainly make a better policy. thank you mr. cohen. we very much appreciate that since you may have figured out that the board of supervisors has for many, many, years look to the council of community housing organizations what has been around for decades and it really has been at the forefront of affordable housing policy at san francisco so that is why ask those questions for you all to see where a lot of the housing thinking in san francisco emanates from. >>we would just note that both sides agree on one thing and that is that they don't like sacramento. >>that is why you make the big bucks.sorry. >>that is okay. we did not talk about assembly bill 2522 as opposed to 2521 that we

took a young anonymous position to push for some amendments and that is my understanding that assembly bill 2522 did not move out a committee that bill is dead. >>yes. >>thank you for your work. >>so feel free to call us. we will be in touch with you. i will continue this hearing to the call the chair so we can check in publicly with mrs. elliott from time to time and we very much appreciate you coming down on a friday and wish you godspeed in your work over the next 2 weeks. >>thank you. we hope you feel better soon mr. chairman have a great weekend. >>thank you. >> >>that will conclude this hearing we are adjourned things again. >>[gavel]

>> thank you supervisor mar. >> to review thousands of pages of documents and legal documents focus a little bit on

how thai relevant to the assessment board of appeals with our 9 years ever experience and i'll talk about that case is an example of the kind of work as an attorney could be relevant often receive cases that was the large cable company we had had thousands of documents not only you know deciding as a government attorney you have to decide it is appropriate to bring a case not only what you should or could but interview individuals and make denominators so the fact that the facts politically them to regulations and probably i imagine with those matters the records can be dense and pulling through that to identify the relevant issues is something i

do on a daily basis. >> it tofu for your form seven hundred you noted the short-term rental i wonder if you're registered there are 12 hundred people registered and getting 13 thousand people to register there are concerns i'm wondering if you went through the city. >> i'm not rentals as a business person i'll go to the office after this meeting i have done the change i just recently moved to potrero hill. >> i'm fine with that. >> thank you supervisor cowen. >> welcome to the neighborhood i'm your neighborhood sheryl hill do you have you attended the assessment board of appeals meetings to you au not yet the opportunity. >> how do you know you want to be part. >> reading the available

forward with that consensus and once a plan is formed i think the issues of style is persistence that carries it through once we come up with a plan it is not enough but the execution identify had to learn in the government we can have a lot of great ideas it is the execution. >> thank you. i'm happy to support you today. >> thank you very much before that we will go to public comment on item 3 anyone wish to comment on item number 3 please step forward. >> i found pie appeals bill on potrero hill and go forth with all your will the moon stood still on potrero

pedestrian safety task committee and actually before that we formed an ad hoc pedestrian safety task force and went to the supervisors and wrote an ordinance creating and i'm proud of the one part that says everyone is a pedestrian to be part of their commute for any trip i think that kind of sets the stage on the other side i'm disappointed that even though we have gone wholeheartedly into vision zero the numbers don't show is it leaves us a lot of work to do in the committee i hope we can do more and reach out out to make it clear to you supervisors and the mta and the public how much has provisions have to be made to make pedestrian safety like in the neighborhood of supervisor tang

main mode of transportation so much easier i take the muni depending on where i'm going in the city the reason why api i've been going to the meeting meeting members and dan weaver is my executive director a small business program manager and born and raised - the the reason why you get a group of people different backwards closets arises but out of that is opportunity to learn if one another and also to solve problems i believe that's it for now. >> supervisor mar. >> i'm reading seat 2 a bart rider. >> can you talk about your

bart. >> it is the most convenient way to get around in san francisco it is faster muni and like the civic center if i'm going to powell i take bart and not worry about parking the tickets are $70 and convenient near my home no big deal. >> supervisor cowen what do you think about the new bart seats. >> i grew up and tell people in 5 i remembered muni bart and how bad it was so it is getting a lot better i may not witness but i take my family balboa bart station is the busiest it is like a transient

hub but you can i believe that getting to bart the geneva carbarn is a big thing they're going to be developing housing i building there is so much potential but like some issues with how m line how it tremendous or dumps the pedestrians out into the street and they have to jay what can i'm well aware of that and that's it. >> i guess my final question what high school. >> burdening academic high school where wilson they used to be - >> some of us still call that wilson. >> i do call it wilson that was a great year you have two school conflicts but great people. >> thank you supervisor mar. >> just a question so

supervisor avalos and i and the justice authority divided divided the area it is very, very dangerous in some key spots i'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about safety and the dangers of the are areas. >> as i said where the ended the line it dumps people on the street and plus if you're walking if city college towards balboa bart station the onramp to daily city cars sdwoo stop for pedestrians they have people jaywalking and people cross in the balboa bart station towards ocean people jaywalk and walk along the tracks because the way how - to a 28020th century to downtown to ocean avenue the

cars don't stop for pedestrians and how an off ramp from 50 miles and sometimes don't see the people that's why a lot of people jaywalk and go the near itself intersection and moving through the k so they move from one side to the next yeah. >> thank you, very much. >> all right. any other applicants that are here i don't think so unless our city attorney john gibner, deputy city attorney wants to apply opening it up for public comment seeing none, public comment is closed another so again, a cough of other applicants for seat 7 i couldn't tell if anyone had background in land use or housing group that are

representing based on their applications to at this time i'm not prepared to move forward with seat 7. >> supervisor cowen. >> actually, i'm in agreement with you once you review the applications not compelling evidence that will lead us to believe that they satisfy the basic requirements for the seat for seat 7. >> okay. and at this time sir, have you gone to any meeting have are they having quorum issues. >> at this time i actually came into this meeting occurring with supervisor cowen for the seat 4 position but given that we believe or at least per the clerk the requirement is met for seat 4 i'm willing to send forth

brent only because the cac means a lot to supervisor campos and have a quorum present so i really hope if we appoint you sir, you truly understand the issues more deeply how the community structure works and how to contribute to this advisory committee so at this time i don't know if we have a motion from the committee members on the appointments. >> i'll move we appoint louis to seat 2 and brent to seat 4. >> why not take them separately a motion on louis seat 2 with a positive recommendation and for brent i'll second that motion a roll

call vote. >> on the motion so seat 4. >> supervisor mar supervisor cowen no supervisor tang we have two i's with supervisor cowen in decency this is confirmed congratulations and again we'll reserve seat 4 for another time so thank you and mr. clerk, any other business before us? >> there's no further business. >> madam chair. >> all right. the meeting is adjourned thank you >> good morning and welcome to

month late meeting of san francisco conte transportation authority. i'm scott wiener, the chair of the authority and mr. clerk can you call the roll. >> commissioner avalos, present. commissioner breed, absent. commissioner campos, present. commissioner cohen, present. commissioner farrell, absent. commissioner kim, present. commissioner mar, absent. commissioner peskin, present. commissioner tang, absent. commissioner wiener, present. commissioner yee, present. commissioner breed, present. we have quorum. >> thank you very much. item number 2. >> item 2, chairs report. this is a information item. >> thank you. i was pleased earlier this month to join with

mayor lee and transportation authority to welcome anthony fox to san francisco. san francisco is among 7 sit ease for challenge grant offered by the department of transportation and volcon transportation and delegation including secretary bock was in town to demonstrate new ways to manage transportation mpt secretary fox is a former mayor taking initiative particularly regarding funding given the political realty and gridlock in washington and state capitals across the nation. commissioner avalos and i are

grateful for your support calling for the development of a transportation sales tax expenditure plan and funning measure for the novembers ballot. the need for a second half cent sales tax was discussed in the 2013 county wide trands portation plan and mayor lees 20/30 transportation plan. the plan by the mayors working group called for 3 part strat agcomprised of the transportation bonds, a sales tax and vehicle license fee. the first leg of the strat agis noted, transportation bond passed already and focus on state of good repair and safer streets. this is only a downpayment of a dramatically larger fundsing need and need to follow up with the second leg, a transportation

sales tax. by extended from 15 to 25 years we can address several additional priorities such as vision zero, muni's equity strategy, muni vehicle and facilities needs and regional investment included cal train electrification, bart vehicle needs as well as 101 corridor managed lanes for buses and carpool. on the topic of regional investment contra costa county decide today move ahead with revenue measure and santa clara is on track to make that decision in june. alameda passed its half cent sales tax in 2014 so it is critically important for us to maintain our ability to contribute fair share of frunds the joint regional

priorities mptd we need to maintain the ability to provide local matching fubds for state, regional and federal funding opportunities. look forward to the discussion of the next steps, these involve coordination with all of you, the mayors office and moving forward with an appropriate structured funding measure for this november. thank you and that concludes my remarks. is there public comment on item 2? seeing none public comment is closed. >> item 3, executive drether report. >> thank you chair wiener and to the board to echo chair wieners appreciation for the funding resolution that you passed last week. my report begins with a update on the state transportation funding situation. there isn't a lot of progress or movement to report but the governor and leadership and legislature are working on

potential packages. we are hearing the larger proposals are unlikely to move forward due to the 2/3 super majority approval fwhut governor indicated he would like any allocation of cap and trade to transportation to be part of the larger funding package rather than on a ad hoc base squs this limits the things we are trying to do this year but continue to press forward. last week the deputy for policy and programming joined the chamber of commerce city state trip to sacramento which included a number of meetings with cal tran, california transporpation and high-speed rail. that set a clear goal by bringing high-speed rail to san francisco by 2025 and allow us to access the cap and trade

fund that remain set aside and not part of the governors budget. we need that for affordable housing and transit and active transporpation. the high-speed rail authority helds a scoping meeting in san francisco so thank you to them for that and folks wanted more information can go to the website [inaudible] they are taking comments on their environmental review process and documents. in addition i want to acknowledge that the bay area metro center rageinal agency has muchb movered to the sit a and holding their first meeting tomorrow so thauchck and congrtulations to them. welcome to the 3 agencies. on the update on the transportation study, i want to mention we have a survey on the

website, sfcta.org/child transportation study. this is a effort to better understand the school transportation needs for k-5 in public, private and parochial schools. this was initiated at the request of commissioner tang. our neighbor transportation improvement study continue to work in district 9 and seek input on ways to improve pedestrian and bike safety at the junction of us 101 and 280 freeways and almany bul vard and are doing outreach in multiple languages and visit our website

sfcta.org/[inaudible] outreach in june and will present a update on that work to the sister agency next month. want to thank sfmta for completing several projects. the randolph [inaudible] and pedestrian safety project was completed uses funds by the transportation authority in this case life line transportation thunds and mission bay loop is underway. funds to finish that project very soon. in addition the masonic streetscape improvement open held will be held may 25. it will be on the 25th from 5:30 to 7:30 at the san francisco day school. this is to provide more information and updates on the safety and streetscape features for masonic avenue. glen park

saw transit access improvements finally after several years but it was a large program at diamond and [inaudible] so hope pedestrian calming and transit acscess and striping and repaving left pockets and shelters so a lot of work using prop k and federal funds that is available and there to help the glen park community plan recommendation in that area. i know chair wiener is pleased to see that go in. the walk first program saw continental cross walks. sfmta used the prop k sales tax funds to small cross walks on 109 locations. these are locations that constitute 70 percent of the severe and fatal traffic

collisions in the city. finally, a word of thank you. you honored peter albert at a boardf pr visors meeting and want to share another certificate of commendation we will present to him as his retirement party from the transportation thort in recognition of over 20 years of service to san francisco and to our region. peter worked at sfmta delivering important praumgects and helping support the park merced and water transportation work and america's cup races, he worked at transportation authority and bay area rapid transit bart aerjs so we are pleased to honor him and thank you him for his service and look forward seeing what is next for peter. he is a big asset to our city and region so thank you very much. >> thank you. colleagues, any

little technical assistance can rescue me. >> i know there is a lot of conversations about this. moving fast and furious. some are probably aheads of me. feel free to chick in and give a special shout out to [inaudible] great partner working on this. for the powerpoint which is handed out to you, the main focus today given the recently approved board of supervisors resolution that the chair mentioned get input on the draft presenceples for development of the expenditure plan and also

public engagement strategy. the good thing when you look at the schedule it has a small heart attack when you see how small it is we are not starting from scratch. we have had conversations from 2013, 14 and which wh chair wiener was reelected this year as head of transportation authority we talked about the need to move forward with the recommendation from the 20/30 task force which is a suite of revenue measure tooz address unfunned need in all areas of the transportation system. this thereis a lot of great work done there and in the prior transportation plan and the goals up on the screen still stands true today. we just moving forward addressing them bet squr helping at the local level and

have this more competitive for state and federal funds when they materialize. we are building a strong foundation there are changes. the other principles deal with what i call tweaking at the margin to responds since [inaudible] the first is we want to embrace city and agency initiatives that are passed since then that are focused supporting equity, affordability and traffic safety. the vision zero policy is really key. the third principle is simp low going through and updating things that changed with projects. we had cost increase, which is always isn't the best story but many projects that secured funds we didn't anticipate bh wh [inaudible] was approved so we want to update and get a sense

of our needs. we had more clarly on the key regional asks which are priorities ranging from cal train electrification project to bart request for contributions from alameda san francisco and contra costa county to relieve crowding on the bart system: we have seen trends in the past, san francisco is expected to get unbelievable amounts of growth and we are already feeling that pain. i know chair wiener squz others mentioned the pace of growth exceeded anything we accepted so that accelerates the needs to deal with capacity issues. one fall out from that principle, in order to be able to deal with all the state of good repair and safety enhancement we need to also

deal with the capacity issues so one recommendation is t 20/30 had a 15 year horizon and suggest a 25 year horizon which aligns with plan bay area year 2030. this is big picture principles for putting together a expenditure plan. i want to put up a letal more in the weeds but very important principles that have to do with fundsing and it gets to the fact that we cannot develop an expenditure plan for revenue measure in a vacuum. we need to be cogsent. there is quit a bit of possible for new revenue measures that local level. as we put together a expenditure plan for half cent sales tax we have a couple measures we need to keep in mind. in year 20 of the prop k plan we can adopt a new expenditure plan extending prop

k between 2033 and 34. it is a easier list than increasing sales tax. we have the vehicle license fee san francisco is authorized to go after a geo plan. the region is talking pretty seriously about a probably bridge toe increase. we are trying to be strategic what will go in the half cents sales tax measure, what may fit and prepare. one thing we wanted to talk about with importance of replacing vehicles. veckerize hard to fund with local funding. that is the little bit in the weeds details but something important to consider

as we put together a expendsture plan. easy math for planning purposes. we see about $100 million a year from half cent sales tax. currently the san francisco sales tax rate is 8.75 percent and if approved it bumps up to 9.25. on the screen it is little small but at your desk and we'll put this on website we put together a table that shows sales tax rates in the surouning jurisdiction squz counties and also flagged a number that are considering half cents sales tax or quarter cent sales tax for transportation and other measures on the june and november ballot. i just note if the san francisco measure passed there are jurisdictions that are higher. the highest is elsureado,

[inaudible] and san leand row. every dollar we spends we want to stretch farther so positioning that to leverage state and federal funds is key. for a good point is prop k sales tax tiply every dollar we invest [inaudible] 4 to 6 times for each dollar spend. we receive 100 million a year and expect to leverage 10 to 15 billion. this pulls out the comparatives from other counties. the middle column is current maximum county rate. some cities within there have different sales tax rates so it may not match you sheet. if the measures under consideration approved, conta costa, san francisco are looking at a half sent sales tax and [inaudible]

public engagement approach this is where we appreciate your input on this. the basic message for this outreach recognizing that we are not starting from scratch and have a very constrained timeline. they have [inaudible] they would be these up on the slide that we recognizing educating the public and those interested we have significant funding needs to meet the goal squz need to continue on the path of implementing the t 2030 recommendations. secondly, recognizing that the prop a bond approved in 2014 did a lot of wonderful things and focused on state of good repair and there were other things we were not able to fund because of [inaudible] two good examples is there wasn't a lot of street resurfacing money and thinks like vision zero because we didn't have the policy at the time so want to address those

in the new measure and want people input. there are many opportunities for input. one huge save of that input is in development of the expenditure plan, but in scubs quent meetings because these are long plans there are opportunities throughout the process. in am prop k program every 5 years we go through oo public process work wg agencies and parties and members of the public to figure what projects we should funds over the next 5 year period which is about as long as anyone can figure what to do. in terms of public engagement, super tight timeline so we want to leverage as much as we can existing venues and forums for gathering input. there is a tremendous mount of conversations happening. spl

are very recent and over a long duration. a good example is supervisor avalos worked with transportation coalition and helped developed the muni equity framework and help inform a potential new measure. we need to leverage opportunities and be very innovative about what we can do in a short amount of time. you should have your desk a more detailed schedule for key dates. i wonets bore with every detail, but the main two book ends to get to the november ballot is under to state public utilities code to administer a sales tax we need the board of supervisors to place a sales tax on the bal lt. in terms of this body we want to get to end of june probably

early july where the authority board aprubs a expenditure plan and ask the board of superveez vises to place the sales tax ordinance on the ballot. the timeline is driven fwhie board of supervisors rules and regulations for getting a sales tax ordinance on the ballot. the plan is introduce the first state on the slide the initial draft expendsture plan so we have a place holder to start the clock ticking bought it has to sit at the board for 30 days. the last chance to introduce amendmenticize the first hearing the budget and finance committee meeting on july 13 so we have a very compressed winnow to finalize the details and i'll leave that there. those watching this is dedicated half cent sales tax

that requires 2/3 vote from the board of supervisors and 2/3 vote from the voters. this is separate and independent above prop k. up here we can't do all of this in the next 6, 7 weeks, but the menu of strategies we would engage between now and november if this is placed on the ballot to seek input on the expenditure plan and going forward. i can talk about what we think we can do in the next 6 weeks but let me highlight one or 2 things i think are particularly important. one is [inaudible] hear of your needs. jumping into existing meetings that are already scheduled or

special meetings we can put on the calendars for the mta board as well as the ta board. tomorrow night at 6 p.m. the authority citizens advisory committee we will seek input on the new revenue measure. the last two is innovate v one. we have ideaed such as telephone town halls. they may be the most effective way to reach a lot of people in the short timeframe. at the plans and programs committee [inaudible] several of our colleagues in other counties seeking sales tax mesers have done this approach which involves getting phone calls and remindsers there would be electronic town hall where you dial in at dinner time and participate. it sounds boring and like who would do this, but the results have been
