it had to drive my car and now i paid $45 were whatever and a fine. i'm never going back there again. now i am test. i'm out a significant amount of money. so, i really object to this idea that in the meantime were to push this around. no. the problem is getting worse every single day. you can keep up with it. your efforts will not keep up with the imbalance and the increasing imbalance. so we have to stop. we have to stop thinking that all this talking were doing is solving the problem. it's not. it's just taking us further down this path of no solution. a bunch of people getting paid to propose stuff that isn't going to work. so, i mean, great. >> public comments. >> so, any public comment?

>> thank you commissioner dwight. there's no parking problem in the sunset. you people never been a good i live there. there is a parking problem. i also completely agree with commissioner dwight. this is a byzantine problem. it's a policy problem. now they're saying they're pointing the finger at the planning department. i hate to break it to them the mta has its own set of policies. they are in the picture. to say that it's not our fault, i think is disingenuous. it is a-it's coming from-the planning side is coming from the transportation side and yes, this is not the solve anything. it is a supply and demand.are

people going to get out of the cause because they can't get a place to park? no. this is a car culture. california usa is a car culture. i took transit to get down here. i believe in transit. but it's not commissioner hughes used to be on the planning commission at this is not a transit first city. it's not a transit only city. there are times i'm taking my car to go to the grocery store. i hate to take tell you i'm not taking groceries on the bus and at the gallon of paint on the bus again. never again. if i go to the hardware store i'm taking my card. it's a reality i do live in suburban san francisco. with the highest car ownership.

your rights. if i can get a parking place or on my own house, there's something wrong here. if i've to go down to south city to go to a hardware store where can find a place to park, i will go to south city. it's not worth circling around to find a local business where i can park. i love my local businesses. they still preaching the good party but mta has anything to do with it there taking away the parking for the merchants and putting it on some side street medicine offset that it's not going to work. these people are just as much a part of the situation as the planning department and they have to own up to that. thank you. >> thank you. >>i go i agree with pres. dwight. it is a supply and demand problem. there for many years better transit first pulse. everybody batters that

around. i want to read you the first item of the transit first policy to ensure quality of life and economic health to san francisco. the primary objective of the transportation system must be the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. so, job of the transportation-transit first policy is to move us around. there's nothing about from you can put parking in. is nothing in the entire transit first policy that says you can't correct it arise. it is a policy of the mta not put up garages. the last two garages that were put up were significant. big ones. performing arts project and one at general hospital. who are using those things? a lot of city employees. not san francisco residents or

businesses. the biggest employers in san francisco are sitting county the san francisco. you see met, the federal government, state government and the school district. all of them are not following the transit first policy. they're taking care of their own. every fire station every police station, every park has free parking for their employees. the mta, muni arts used to have a. it changes a little bit but it's still parking all around it from aldie for their employees to part. they're taking care of themselves, not taking care of their customers. the residence. what kind of job is out there? muni has increased the number of riders in san francisco every year. but the percentage of riders to the increased population has gone down for the last 20 years. we haven't done a good job. at all. we need more parking. all they

have to do is change their policy. we have the bike lane think it we identified three spots for parking. here's a parking lot. build up. absolute refusal. the parking lot is still there just build up from it. thank you >> thank you. anymore public commons? comments? seeing none, public comment is closed. again i'm not lashing out to us individuals and regardless of the comment not lashing out to the mta. a must out at the institutionalization of the problem. we need to break this logjam in the only way to do it not to the methods been proposed but to change the policy on parking and building a parking and addressing the supply problem. enough said. it is no further comments this item is close with want to the next one. >> item number eight, proposed

schedule for completion of backlog minutes. discussion and action item. >> commissioners, as a matter pro forma, since you govern the office we have had absences over the last couple of years, breaks world had a commission secretary. we've developed a plan for you to address getting the backlog of minutes completed. we have, let's see, about nine of them. excuse me, seven of them nearly completed and will be available for you if you want to read 7 min. at the next commission meeting. then, we have about 18 more. excuse me. not a team. yes, 18 sets of minutes they need to be completed and we are working to

get close from a transcription service to help transcribe and format the minutes for us so we can get them rapidly produced and before. >> point of clarification when you say we do minutes, we will read him here we don't have to read them out at the meeting because we do not is that correct? >> it's having you read them prior to the meeting. >> so, i would like to make a recommendation that come 01, the addresses backlog as you described it and get a transcription service to do it will diligently-there 16 them either? 18. okay. i like to address this over 4-5 meetings. i think 4-5 min. as and 3-5

min. per meeting is something we can handle and obviously was to call public comments before and after everyone sorts time-consuming for us here. i also would like to, for the record, please, let's make the first priority the minutes from the meeting we just had. we don't have meetings from our last meeting. i want to tell you that i want i don't about to get bigger. so, make the minutes of the meeting tonight available for the next meeting and also please catch up on the last ones. we should be current system is knowledge into this issue on all meetings were having now. okay? is adding to the problem before backfilling the newest meetings as minutes of mapping completed. so, first order of business is the minutes of the current meeting get past one and this one and all meetings after this one. simultaneously will address the backlog the paid transcription service once you have it i would suggest over the course of 4-5 meetings we knock them down and get currents. that is acceptable to the other commissioners here think that's the way to do it. >> can we make a commitment is

commissioners were partly responsible for the fact this did not happen and when we make a commitment to make sure that we are currents from now one. address the backlog, but this can never happen again >> absolutely. from this point going forward own because her current meetings. that's why i see that first order of business. >> last in, first out. >> correct. last in, first out. so, >> so we will know that >> i will call for public comment. any public comment. seeing none, this item is closed. >> i will second what mike said >> we need to have a motion to approve. >> can i make a motion? >> yes. >> i make a motion as

commissioner tour-sarkissian oh, we put, last in, first out. so be current on all meetings including our last one and this one. that's the first priority. that subsequent we want to once we have our service provider in place, want to knock these down at let's say for-five per meetings with the course of four meetings we get rid of the backlog. >> [inaudible] >> that's fine. >> to be a little less of the backlog as were doing the current meetings >> no. i presume meetings for current meetings are not going to be handled by paid service going forward? >> i'm sorry >> for scheduling on the agenda you want for-five in addition >> in addition to the minutes from the last meeting. i know

were going 4-5 next time probably because we don't have the paid service. we might have it the top section completed project will take on whatever you've got next meeting. if it's 71 knock them down. >> can we put on the record my comments about the commissions obligation to make sure this does not happen again >> weaver combined location between the commission and the office of small business we do not get in this position again. absolutely. duly noted. so, i made the motion. moved and seconded. >> all in favor >>[chorus of ayes] the motion passes unanimously. update on

legacy business. commissioners, quickly our budget we work on them now. as of two-year rolling budget, the mayor's budget instructions we did have to reduce our budget 1.5% and for each year for the next two fiscal years due to a projected budget deficit. so, our-my proposal for the request for the budget mother budget cuts did come out of salaries. that dollar amount, but we can, because of our ada program and the additional dollars we get from the business registration, if it does come to that, then i can offset the time that we spent doing with ada work to backfill from that those programmatic dollars, the general fund dollars for the salary. so, it's $14,300 for

the first fiscal year. is there any questions on that? it's not like where you have to cut time or salaries. would just pull from a different line item. on the budget, program funding we have the legacy business registry application fee projecting $15,000 for the year that is 300 times $50 per application it if we have a maximum of 300 applications for the. the legacy business preservation funds as per the announcement that was set, announced on may 19. that's 1,000,002.5 per year. broken out over the two fiscal years. pad project fee, which i mentioned here is projected at $55,000 and 60,000 within utilizing that for doing subsidize inspections and

helping to do with improvements, but if need be, only to do with the salary budget come, we definitely spend time on educating businesses with her ada requirements so i can call from the fund to offset any salary cuts with the business counselor. so, expenses, salad, give our salary and binge fringe benefits, operating expenses, operating expenses of things like our salesforce dollars salesforce licenses, nonpersonal services, and material and supplies. so, that is the projected budget for the next two years. then, on the next page, i didn't list out who is on staff for our staffing.

>> these positions all currently filled? >> the legacy business program manager is. we are waiting to fill it and was business counselor is at halftime and will be filling it with a full-time. >> thanks. is it the same person? >> another. typically, commissions do approve the budget. so, if you are not-want to wait one meeting and wait another meeting to approve the budget it's up to you where you can approve this project. >> i propose that we >> we should do public comment first. >> any members about of the public that would like to comment on the seven? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner riley >> what is that 50,000 come from?

>> that comes from is a dollar that charged business registration. this is the state requirement so was due to sunset after 2018. the city gets to keep $.70 of every dollar we send $.30 that goes to the california commission on disability access. >> the money comes from the merchant? >> it comes in the businesses, yes. there's a dollar assessment to eat each business registration >> were you allocating that to [inaudible] >>[cough] >> if it comes to-because we had to do a budget cut at 1.5%, and so if it deems absolutely necessary we may not need to do that because there could be salary savings in the other ways , then the dollars that we spent we doing outreach education, advising businesses

on ada then if we have to offset those dollars. but, right now-these dollars are spent with assisting primarily with cass inspections. i'll be able to let you know we've not actually spent all are allocated dollars from this fiscal year. because we are challenged with getting the-we are challenged with being able to keep up the number of cass inspections because we don't have enough cass inspectors if that makes sense >> i just think the ada program the outreach is very important. something that i feel like is very important for the commission. >> this will not be percolating us from doing that outreach. it's just saying were going to be-we may, not definite, they use those funds to pay for some of our staff to do that outreach.

>> okay. >> who is the management out? >> it's martha. >> always going to take action on this overweight >> i propose we take an action. i make a proposal >> moved to approve the budget >> moved to approve the budget. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor say, aye. opposed? >> the motion passes unanimously. >> neck seven >> that's item item 7 update on the legacy registered. >> commissioners i did send you an update on what transferred transpired at the government oversight committee. in your binder is an overview

of we've hired for the position. it's close. we will begin interviews hoping at the end of this week and definitely into next. todd russo has re-signed marianne thompson who heads up the shop and dine in the 49 ayn rand the business tax program to assist with all the new nominations that are coming to the office until we have the legacy business program manager higher. last week i did a train with the aid to make sure they were all clear on the nominating process and the application procedures. again, claire find that every business needs to go through the application process and what's involved in that too be placed on the registry to be eligible,

to be eligible to apply for the grant funding. so, there are an additional list of some other timelines. i think the most key things are, so, a week from today i'll be forward even over to the historical preservation commission the first set of applications for them to review and their targeting. july 20 meeting, and then from there it will be the first set of applications will be coming before you and that will likely be the july-excuse me-i'm sorry. it will actually have to be the walking of time for us to prepare the packet in five days as it would be the first

meeting in august. >> can i ask you send them to us when you sent him to the historical society so we can get a look at them and will track any changes >> sure. okay. then, the june 27 meeting we will have getting drafts for the rent stabilization grants in the july 11, the businesses assistance grant for you. to approve. review and then determine whether you're ready to prove we told the next beating.also, a is information on the legacy business procedures. to really clarify, we have an application cover sheet but the bulk is the written narrative and the supplemental history. that we cannot do for the business.

they have to do that for themselves.so that timing is on him to complete and submit to the office. so a supervisor may have nominated a business, we cannot move them through the process until they completed that application. >> nomination is not an application >> correct >> can we say when the application is available? >> it's online. online at our website. the other point of clarification i do want to state, on the application, the business is affirming. our current on the business tax licenses. their taxes, there are licenses. any fees that they owe the city may have no -they've no outstanding issues with the office of labor standardforcement. so, while the business may have

something they need to correct that respect, i could also delay them in completing an application >> all businesses must be in good standing before having their application considered. >> yes. >> imaging you sent something out to us in addition to what's in the binder? >> i sent a memo out with this list, but i do not send you this document. >> i look for it again. >> i will resend it to you. then, the next is just so we have now 64 businesses that have been nominated. the first page is the list of those that i've received some form of

application, some of them are complete. some of them are still waiting for additional information. either they need to a pdf their application and i'm still waiting a check of historical preservation has forwarded some specific guidelines. things they would like to see and so i've had to reach back out to different businesses to ask for that information. >> please add a number column to the left so we can tell the number we don't have to count by hand, okay? >> is down at the bottom i'm sorry. >> just put a number on the left and calm >> oh, okay i see. on the left-hand comp. >> the question [inaudible] the business commission site has seen a number of [inaudible] for the legacy business in elevators no what that is? >> there's been no official

application submitted to them. so, i will look at their site. they may have applications for the building registry, but i will double check that. >> look into it >> so, the next two pages of a list of businesses that have been nominated. evolving reached out. this is the group of businesses that marianne is talking to. so you're aware of that. >> nomination is not an application. all right. anything else on this item? >> if there's any questions am happy to answer them. >> commissioners? no. i'll miss up to public comment.

anyone want to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners and the other discussion on this matter? no. let's move on to item number 11 >> item number 11 is general public am. i will call for general public comment? >> i'm using the overhead. eileen broken. i'm here to read the resolution from the coalition for san francisco neighborhood into the public record. before i do, i would like to put this resolution into context. for fiscal year 2016-27 and the mta is budgeted to receive $286.3 million in general fund support. taxpayer money, our money. the resolution: whereas, the sfmta 84 program is responsible or transit related projects citywide, whereas community for project has been swamped over negative impacts on mission street such as merchant difficulty in getting deliveries, patients not able to

shop locally and the climbing customer base, as people decide to avoid going to shop in the mission altogether. whereas, you need for design for lombard yuri venice california geneva etc. and stockton were potentially. negative impact similar to mission street where is the proposed muni for design for-potentially great negative impact similar to those on mission street, whereas the sfmta's budget is supplemented by general fund monies, whereas the board of supervisors has control over appropriating general fund monies to the sfmta, getting john such year-where's the board of supervisors has the ability to place general fund money on reserve that are allocated to the sfmta eight during the city budget and appropriations process, therefore, be it resolved the coalition for san francisco neighbors urges the board of supervisors to place

$25 million of general fund money allocated to the sfmta eight for fiscal year 2016-17 on reserve until such time as the negative impacts of the muni forward project on mission bombard banas california etc. are resolved to the satisfaction of the affected communities. thank you for your- >> here is your copy >> thank you. any other members of the public there would like to participate in general public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. next item, please >> item number 12, directors report. >> so, commissioners i first want to thank you for very successful small business week. thank you president dwight perko cheering and leading a very successful week commissioner dooley providing flowers. commissioner adams and zouzounis. extended support for

flavors.. our office was the sponsor for that and of course commissioner tour-sarkissian and riley and ortiz-cartegena your over all participation at it was a very successful week. i just want to highlight a couple projects underway for the office. we have as i've noted in the past meeting we've seen an increase in the number of clients coming into the office. we have set up a kiosk area for clients so that they can have the business portal to look at whether waiting to talk to a business counselor. also, were underway and developing a new logo for the office. we talked about this and so that is finally off the ground. we

are redoing the starting a business book of with tomorrow partners who did the design for the business portal so that our booklet has the same look and feel as the business portal. and we are now officially, officially were now going to be opening an office space predominately it'll be the small business the roman senders office base at 1650 mission st., right between planning and dbi, will have a satellite section there. a satellite office. also, the small business accelerator keys manager, the restaurant person who is going to be case managing restaurants through the process much katie scherping, she starting this week. should be introducing herself to you at the next commission meeting. she will be one of our individuals and probably the legacy business person will be located at that office. so, we are excited about that. then,

the mayor's quarterly meeting was held with a small business leaders was held on may 31 and they presented to him the plan that they are starting to work on stephen cornell has presented one of the items to you a couple meetings back. we will provide more information on that. one of the topics is the by local and there is by local work happening. i'm not participating in that but our representation is through president dwight who's been participating in those meetings. a couple other notes, i think, in terms of wanting to highlight that come up in relation to the formula regional meeting we did here is that the commission did hear about affordable housing bonus program we did have some discussions about space in new development. so, perhaps that's kind of a continued discussion. that we might one have with the planning department that something you're interested in,

but we will be revisiting those incentives to work originally talked about this new development. then, lastly, i also want to maybe just remind commissioners that perhaps some of the vacancies that were noted on polk street produce a soft story orders. things are covered in carver and there may not be signage that is a street that does have there are buildings that have more than five units residential units, above and so to can keep that in mind that some of those vacancies may be due to the soft story ordinance. then, at her next meeting you're going to have a presentation from the planning department on transportation demand management. so, perhaps this is a good place for you to also address some of your comments and concerns that you brought up to catherine and to angie. as

well. so will redistribute in those materials to you later this week so you have an opportunity to read them before the next meeting. this is a project that the planning department has undergoing they're doing outreach and community meetings. so, that could concludes my report unless you have questions. >> commissioners, any questions? will open this up to public only. any members of the public to like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. onto the next item >> item number 13, commissioners reports >> i will start. i did attend numerous activities and small business week. i attended the business leadership meeting with the mayor on may 31. i attended a meeting of the small business to wrap up. first of several. i attended was in on the meeting for the local briefing and also attended a seminar for the by local

campaign. and i ran my business. anybody else? >> i participated in small business and various events. >> anybody else? >> i participated in a merchant walk on polk street area to visit some of the folks that are applying for legacy business status. i met with the mta last week at supervisor peskin's office to go over more of the issues that are coming up , that are particular to north beach like wanting to put the lead transit lanes on columbus avenue. i would say he was a productive meeting primarily because supervisor peskin was quite forceful on his opinions on those things and we are apparently going to organize a

group of stakeholders in north beach to work with the mta and i urge them to do that in every single neighborhood in san francisco because that is what we need, is to be involved from the very beginning in projects that affect our neighborhood. >> here here. anyone else? >> i something to report. i also attended the [inaudible] and was well attended and i had a chance to [inaudible] it was great. i also attended the asian-american business mixer that was hosted by a bank, ease west bank and was at the third wall at 901 market st. one thing i want to point out is one of the panel speakers was a success story from our assistant send. his name means

>>[gavel] >> good afternoon and welcome to the local agency formation commission. i'm john avalos chair of the commission joined by the right by vice chair commissioner cynthia crews and to my left eric mar. mr. clerk please share with us your announcements >> [inaudible] coffee but from memory, please sounds all cell phones and electronic devices. if you wish to speak or have a documents to provide to the

commission, please provide it for the clerk into the inclusion of the file. >> thank you. today's meeting is broadcast by sfgtv staff. jesse larson and charles clement. thank you for your service. mr. clerk, looks like we've we've done the rollcall. if you could please actually, yet a couple of commissioners absent. do we motion to excuse commissioner campos? will take that without objection >>[gavel] >> we just didn't local. let's go on to the next item >> that motion was to excuse commissioner campos. the motion was made by commissioner mar. seconded by commissioner crews did that motion passes without objection with commissioner campos being absent >> thank you. number two, please >> item number two approval of sflafco minutes from the may

20, 2016 regular meeting. >> any comments or questions? commissioner chris >> like to move to approve them >> will do that after public comment. will open up public comment on sflafco's minutes. we will close public comment >>[gavel] >> motion from commissioner crews did seconded by commissioner mar dirt will take that without objection should be dick without objection that passes. >> great. >> the agenda item number three resolution to the board of supervisors regarding amendment to sflafco terms. >> okay, so this is a resolution that discusses moving our executive officers position, which is actually terminating i'm not sure what the date is-june 30 continued for two more years. the

continuance of the position will be allowed by resolution, but also would be subject to a decision by sflafco extending funding and the fte by the board of supervisors. so, really, i want to make sure that especially moving through this fiscal year that as we are launching cca, executive officer position can continue. that's super-critical. i also feel that since we spent a great deal of our time on cca, clean power sf, there were in transition right now to look at new projects, that sflafco can pick up long-term, one that we talked about for a number of years have been the municipal fiber program, which is been off and on the topic of discussion, but not a real

long-term topic. i want to make sure that we put something before us very very shortly that could address some of the long-term work that sflafco could you. i believe this other projects that we can pick up as well as an agency and i want to see if those can be explored. so, i'm willing to entertain other ideas that commissioners might have before inserting other ideas and projects that could be for sflafco seconds i support the position for two more years that will be through the fiscal-to the end of the fiscal year 2018. commissioner crews >> i think that it was a few minutes ago we talked about future agenda items and how we could use our executive

director without impacting the work on cca but also making sure there something in the pipeline. i think that possibly at the next meeting i like to bring some ideas forward for other projects. i just want to give myself some to think about it and maybe look at work that other sflafco that are similar to us have done. and you sort of thinking about how we can best utilize the agency. i certainly support expanding mr. breed's context. i'm sorry. it's the position not a contact. and then making sure that we have projects and budget approved through that time if that's appropriate. >> great. i am wondering if there's a little bit of what you might be able to do before

this resolution comes before the board of supervisors. that could be may be sharing just maybe through e-mail with us that would be helpful. because i think we are going to be a lot of questions will be asked about future work that sflafco could do. i think the municipal fiber one that the board will be readily ready to discuss but other things we could throw in the mix as potential work for sflafco in the future but other ideas that come up, i heard, would be preparing the city with long-term plans for sea level rise and some of the infrastructure will have to develop around that. i think that could be a great project. i think other jurisdictions might be looking at similar type of issues and might want to explore what they find perhaps in california. >> what i was thinking was

cal-but he recently and perhaps there was some workshops that were relevant to our sflafco but other sflafco in california were-how they are staff hours and projects and everything are directed to my maybe that would give us some insight into ways we can expand. >> okay. will open the site up for public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment, please come forward. see no one come forward will close public comment. >> >>[gavel] >> will move this recommendation. moved and seconded. will take that without objection. >>[gavel] >>

>> motion to refer without passes without objection with commissioner campos being excused. >> great. let's go on to item number four case >> item number four executive officers report. >> jason breed executive officer. the things i want point out since were meeting today of the leaders chairs provocative not them have our meeting on june 24 did so when next meeting will not be until july 22. i want make sure folks were aware that we don't have a cca update on this agenda because we want to [inaudible] i wanted to a couple quick update on stuff going on. there's a bill called ab- 1530, which doesn't directly impact cca itself but it does the with electricity generation and pass-throughs that occurred. it would impact both pg any and-customers equally. but it does have some issues with it of how setting sometimes they don't like that potentially impact related cca matters. we

are monitoring that i'm and there's also a second oh, and four, ab--11 which would basically limited the cpuc independence from state legislature. right now, there's a firewall put in place and still learning about this just came out. last couple days for me so i'm still learning to try to get my head around it but from what i understand would basically say the cpuc would it potentially stokes this but the state legislature could change our functions and how it works and actually be more treated more like a department that an independent agency. so, there could be some good. but also be very bad that occurs with that. i know there's some advocacy groups out there that are advocating against it. the constitutional amendment it is

already past two thirds by the assembly. it still needs a two thirds vote in the state senate and then would go to the november ballot and when he two thirds of the general public support as well. if not can happen immediately but something that might be worthwhile to pay attention to potentially and come out opposed to if we so desire. ashley came on my later after after we did this i judge it out what the judges determine if there's any action we need to take before the next meeting as far as sending opposed letters to the state senate or anything like that to try and stop it it makes sense for us to use out >> what are the initiatives to do this come from? >> i apologize. i don't have that information with me. i know that some in the audience is a lot more detail on this bill than i do. i would yield to public comment to answer that question. >> okay. commissioner crews. >> not that i haven't spent a lot of time on the california secretary of state website, but when do you know when the filing deadline is for this in terms when it needs to be put on-to go on the november ballot? window would be finalized? >> i'm assuming in the next

month or two women 20 to finalize anything to: about. since it's a state legislator posits it's a slightly different process and i don't know the state processes then i know the signature gathering one. >> thanks. >> okay, thank you. when we hear from the public. public comment. >> good afternoon, commissioners that eric brooks, today on speak on behalf of both energy folks like california for energy choice and public next along around public broadband and internet access because it was the to the bill that your staff just raised. it's actually technical corrections aca-11 because it's for ballot measure. basically, with this bill came from is that it sponsor a summary member mike gâteau, had attempted to put through a measure and failed that would've allowed at&t to completely dump it where mine service which would have been

very bad for a lot of low income people that need their phones. he had previous legislation that actually have divided the cpuc into up into five entities. this legislation will create a ballot measure that we completely open-ended and will allow the legislature, if it wishes, to completely get rid of the california public utilities commission. absolutely. create new agencies to put their responsible is another existing agencies. it would get caught lunch to the legislature to do whatever it wants. in light of the fact that the legislature is heavily influenced by fossil fuel interests and communications interest, for example, in the sp-350, oil limits were completely gutted from the appeal because of money pressure from oil companies, so, were facing a situation where this gets to the ballot and it passes, we will have to engage in a gargantuan effort to make sure we don't end up going out of the fine hand which is the cpuc witches admittedly be terrible and into

the fire of the legislature hacking us to bits. so, i really encourage you to staff follow this carefully. quickly, it won't be too late by next months meeting to deal with this, but you may want to consider special meeting if it looks like this is moving forward me to weigh in on it. thanks. >> i decided i should also mention like i said, this impacts not just clean energy and committee choice. this impacts the public bobbin system. the legislature several years ago also got rid of the ability of local municipalities like ourselves, to form our own franchise agreements and the hard-line on our franchise agreement with communications providers like comcast. now those are state franchises. so on communications as well, we will be throwing control of

these utilities these two communication utilities to the legislature and that to me is a scary prospect at this potential major benefits on both energy and efficient but also as potential disastrous consequences. so, thanks. >> thank you. any of the members of the public would like to comment? seeing none, will close public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> this is just an information item so we are onto our next item >> item number five, public, members of the public may address the sflafco on matters that are within their jurisdiction and not on today's agenda >> good afternoon commissioners. the mass population, of the giant, upon [inaudible] of active missionary forces leading to total ms. of well-being of having extreme fine way of changing [inaudible] definitely witty expectation for mankind the support for the holy truth.

looking at sea level rise,, open source voting which is one we taken up as well. i think working with commissioner crews to see if other sflafco's are working on projects that might be appropriate here for san francisco might be worthwhile as well. okay, this item is now open up for public comment. future agenda items. see no member of the public, and will close public comments. >>[gavel] >> will go on tour last item >> item number seven, adjournment >> we are adjourned. thank you. >>[gavel] >>[adjournment] >> the maus coney center

>> welcome to the finance committee of the san francisco transportation authority, it is june, 14, 2014. and my name is eric mar and i am and the chairman, and our clerk is mr. steve stamos and please do the roll call.

>> commissioner campos? >> yes. >> present. >> cohen. >> absent. >> kill. >> absent. >> mar. here. >> yee? >> here. and we have a quorum. >> thank you, i wanted to thank from sfgtv, non-a and jessy for tell vi vicing this today. and would you call the second item? >> item two to four, comprise the consent calendar, these are the retune and the staff is not planning to present on these items or present, and any number may be removed. >> and oit ems 2 to 4, i see no comments. would anyone like to speak on items 2 to 4? >> seeing, none, public comment is closed. could we approve these without objection or a roll call? >> campos? >> aye. >> coen? >> ab accident, kim?

abse absent. >> har mar. aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> item five, please? >> 5, state and federal legislative up date. >> you are not mark. >> he got pulled into a meeting with the governor, right before the senate transportation today and so he sends his regret and if was the world sitting and i would say that i am pitch, hitting and hopefully i will be able to answer the questions. it is a light, matrix, as far as positions and we are nearing the end of the session and so the things have to clear out of the committee by the end of the month and so we are seeing a lot of them drop off and hopefully they will be smaller next month, and we will be recommending two watch positions and the first on ab, 650, and this is and would be consolidating the regulation

under the l california puc. and the sfmta and the league v cities have expressed concerns about this removing too quickly and removing the local control to the regulation and so be watch thanksgiving carefing it carefully. >> and the second bill, is it 1, and this is dealing with for the ward facing. >> what page is that on? >> i am sorry. sb >> you said 1051. >> 128 of the whole packet. >> and 41 of the matrix. >> yeah. >> sorry about that. and this bill currently as you recall, sfmta has the new authorization to do the traffic and parking enforcement on the foe ward facing cameras on the buses and this would ex-tepd equilibrium tend that. and that authorization to ac transit as well as making it legal for them to use it not just to enforce the parking violations in the transit lanes, but also in the bus stops.

and so, sfmta is working closely with ac transit and to insure that it does not effect our current authorization as well. so, protecting our interests. and on the other topics, there are touching quickly on what happened in june with respect to the revenue measures and the on the top of our mind we will consider to move forward. and as you know, the prop a, parcel tax paid in the bay area and we also saw that san jose, approve the sales tax from among other things. and they listed the local streets and roads as eligible use. and there are general sales tax, that would have been partners with a charter amendment for committing it to the local streets and roads. did not pass, even though it reacquired a 50 percent majority. and there was a similar measure that failed as well and then san

diego did approve the charter amendment to approve the funds and the parks and libraries and there seems that there is an appetite across the state and especially in the urban areas, and with respect to the budget and what is going on there, the governor may revise basically he did not change much from january. and transportation is essentially outside of the context of the over all discussion about the new revenues and it is cut a hole in this budget and there were a couple of tweaks in the revised and the first was additional 15 percent cut in transit, formula funding that goes directly to the operators or the operations. and this is due to the continued low price of diesel and since it comes from the sales tax on diesel and so that was just a statutory adjustment. and then, finally, last week, we got the pretty bad news that the cap and trade proceeds came in, at the auction for ten million dollars. when they were expecting $500

million and so it is an incredible hit to the program and so that they are optimistic that these is cycle and things will pick back up. and and it is the governor and the leg sleigh tower stepping back and thinking about committing some of that to transportation and the other uses. >> could i just ask, that is a huge discrepancy. how was it that they were so optimistic which it came in like that, what are the reasons for that >> well the projections that are always been a range and they don't really know when they started the program, it was like 250 million a year. with the energy prices what they are, there has been a lot v purchases of the futures so that

the participants are stepping back a lilgs bit right now. and the administrators said that they expect this to just be a blip, we hope that is the case but they don't think that this is a pretence for continuing that level. >> thank you. moving forward. >> and then finally, the ongoing special session, and discussions of a larger solution to transportation funding, with the senate bill and the assembly bill and reconciling the governor's proposal and so not likely to move forward until after november. and the cap and trade part was the one that we thought might be able to squeak in there, but with the proceeds that is not moving either. with that i am happy to answer any questions that you have or go and bother mark to get you the answers after the meeting. >> okay, thanks so much, to the assistant deputy director for the report. >> yes. >> so let's open this up. commissioner yee?

>> in regard to to the first bill, and i am just curious, and i know that it is, it is exempting i guess, the san francisco and the airport. are there, and just in regards to the taxes and elsewhere, like in oakland, for instance, they don't have any how do they get currently how does it work? if it is just --. >> currently it is, and there are regulations that are regional basis and so that these are defined he each commission has set up with the regulations and the bill is being proposed by the owners of the taxi industry, so as to under the theory of let's the family, and the other one to play by the same rules across the state to make it easier.

and the cab drivers, actually oppose it. and the local jurisdictions and they are nervous because they have regulations that they would like to see as written. it does exempt san francisco, but sfmta has concerns that it is not written strongly enough that there are questions about whether it would actually allow us to continue the current program. >> i would imagine that if it is not written strongly enough, the whole program, and how it works right now might be in jeopardy. or i guess the medallion or whatever it is called. >> there is a number of different, components of the regulations and i am not an expert, but it would look at a range of things like accessibility. and fares, and requirement for drivers and all of that.

right now, maybe this is not a question for you, but for san francisco, is under mta? the taxis? >> correct. >> and where are they? the staff? in regards to this particular legislation? >> they have, they have the city does not have an official position on this yet, but they have expressed to the author, concerns and requests for technical corrections that they think will better safe guard san francisco, but i think that given the fact that even the california puc has said that they don't have the resource to do this and i think that everyone is pushing them to not rush to get it done this month and let's have a longer discussion and i think that sfmta is working with them, and even without the advocacy platform. at least working on technical corrections that will provide more protections for our regulations. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. >> i see no other questions, thank you. >> is there anyone from the public that would like to speak on this item?

>> seeing none, public comment is closed. and there is a recommended action on this item or mr mr. stamos. >> unless the committee adopts a new position this is an information item. >> sounds like this is an information item. >> okay. >> item six. >> item six, recommend adoption of the proposed fiscal year, 16, 17, annual budget and work program, this is an action item. >> we have deputy director fong. >> good morning and this is on page, 135 of your packet. and i am the deputy director for the finance and administration, and this is the second look at the fiscal year, 16, 17, budget and the full presentation was provided at last month's meeting but here i am today and back to about the present the one up date that we have to the budget. due to the recent discussions with the product sponsors and consideration from the advice from the financial advicers and a better sense he have the year end closing schedules we would

like to add the next routine, payment to the credit loan agreement and in the past we have subsequently have been paying, the annual payment to pay down the debt. and the previous year was $20 million and this year we would like to continue to make that payment because cash will be available, once the city and the ta have closed the books. and if they were able to make the payment of $21 million, we will be able to save the additional interest costs and to be able to just shave a little bit more money. item one, went through the puc on may, 25th, with a vote of for the item, and this is the only change that i have on the budget. and with that, i am more than happy to go through the full presentation again on powerpoint or just take the questions if you have any. >> i don't think that there is a need to go through it again. i see no questions and so let's open this up to the public. >> is there anyone that would like to speak? >> seeing none, the public comment is closed. and the colleagues, is there a

motion on this item? >> it has been moved and seconded could we take that without objection? >> the house has changed. >> well, with the commissioner cohen here, let's take a roll call. >> campos. >> aye. >> cohen. yes. >> aye. >> kim, absent. >> mar, aye. >> yee aye. >> item is approved. thank you shths, item 7, introduction of new items. >> i see no comments, and let's open it up for public comment. please come forward. >> on this one. >> okay, okay. and so, let's go to item 8. general public comment? >> commissioners, andrew, and the town and commissioner -- and the man in unity of the south origin can leak on one, and the

pacific coast is that economic growth and action on climatic change that are both happening in the west xooft not a coincidence but a cause one of the reasons we have a robust economy on the pacific coast we embraced the technologies of clean energy we have a fossil fuel free in washington state ways we increased the solar 100 percent last year reduced the the cost of solar and it is because of that initiative economic strategy we have a robust economy at the same time reducing the treat eve climate change i'm glad to be here the ecology ruled out a rule this is a wall of protection against cash pollution for the first time a rule will be implement in our state that creates a cash

industries we have an industry had to move the operations by the way, of cab and i believe that with the opportunity to move on ocean certification to get away from the climatic change you're about 15 years two lastly zero doer debate about ocean cervix this cashier needs to be not going into the ocean doing damage to the waters i hole pristine i'm excited and they've to british columbia taking care of our state >> thank you govern as a representative i'm really happy to see the progress as a region it has been a great year for climatic for britain columbia not only this renewed relationship but seeing the federal government that is not

taking a keen interest for a jurisdiction from canada that began this work in 2008, we're excited to have there federal papering it means right now our predicament minister is leading a protest that works towards a can canada was launched with the vancouver dilation and a lot of things we're doing in british columbia will be rfblt of what you see at a canadian approach but it goes hand in hand with what you see in front of the you it is extremely difficult to go it alone when our a natural jurisdiction like british columbia with 4 million people it is not hard to get leakage it is one of the reasons to be working together we have right now a cash tax that is one of the highest and broadcasted in

the world did bank timing called that one, the most powerful example of pricing we also are the first and still the only jurisdiction in north america to, cashier neutral for the last 5 years our energy supply is 98 percent clean and the g h g emissions are amongst the lowest in canada it is not a lot of easy places to look for continued emissions reduction it makes those partnerships all the more important and i want to reinforced to you what's been express this and have to be a choices between the assignment and the economy in fact, we look at the potential results the climatic change we can clearly say our economic future as world that indeed as a region is depend on action to

reduce the implications of climatic change i'll give you some example from our economy in british columbia we internal revenue by the way, the faster growing economy in canada we're the only province in canada to balance the budget we're the only province with a triple a's credit rating with a great economy wife seen 68 thousand jobs a 12 percent increase since years and the g dp rose in the realm to $6 billion plus in 2014 and that's a 18 want 3 increase from 2010 our economies don't think our actions to combat climatic change we welcomes partnerships not only because of success bus the opportunities it give us we know that for the

future of our planet and the much of our children and grandchildren we can't be the generation this drops the ball we have to pick up the baton and need everyone's ideas together is the only way to successfully tackle this. >> govern. >> thank you. this is indeed another milestone in 2013, the pacific coast collaborative started it was relatively small and very embryonic in its sense here we are joined by key cities in the bay area and making that commitment to reduce carbon dioxide and other green house gas emissions this is a serious threat it is a major issue and on the west coast we remember taking action serious action now

around the country there are states and political leaders that have their head in the sand and someone running for president that calls us and this meeting should be stopped immediately because everyone would be crazy but that's not say way it is and the other thing he should be stopped and should be stopped soon i've indicated yesterday (laughter) anyway, i am encouraged i try tee set the difficulty of dealing with climatic change when you read this commitment we're making there's a lot of provisions and a lot of words this is not just one thing stop this no? integrated it is comprehensive and requires governs and congress people and

entrepreneurs and utility executives and mobilizing all the swath of civilization and your leadership on the west coast ultimately the united states and the rest of the world we're here in a initiative part of word most of the leaders come here and want to get part of that innovation and tremendous economic identify wisdom and we're to make a commitment for climatic change that is more and more visual in the national dialogue not enough for my sense but this what we're doing here advances the ball and how far we've come to 2013 indicates the seriousness of what we're doing and when we do this again in another year or two we're making advance and not just elected

people that is this morning bill gates asia tom a serious financial players and they're here joining with anyone stares of energy from the different parts of world now with paris because of president obama and wanting she we really made a real step up ♪ effort which was not true just a couple years ago so this is important it is only another step but an important step and more and more people are following we are all collaborating organizing low cashier full standards washington is look at it as a overall cap on emissions and, of course, the cashier pricing in british columbia is recognized by the world back that's the way to go there's a lot of progress and a long way to go but each

step is very important essential toe getting the ultimate goal the decashed world. >> thank you govern and i'm honored and exciting to be in the company of really great leaders that are coming together to be here to bear witness on this historic collaboration on our climatic change i'm proud to add that the city of san francisco to this agreement along with so many other west coast mayors and our city's on the front line of climatic change and becoming more clear that we can't fully address this alone we need leadership and we are seeing that happen before our eyes and desires me to be part of this work of the pacific coast collaborative the reality the impact of climatic change knows no state or city or

national boundary line satisfies and daughters and wildfires are going to continue to wreak havoc across the region threatening you are victimized and property our social and economic resources and public health i look at this as a regional insurance together we've prove that decisive and national climate action we can mitigated those through goal setting and strengthening the regional economies assessment we're reducing green house gas emissions and mr. was right in san francisco we've been able to reduce the green house gas emissions to 23 percent below 1990 levels

and while at the same time our population has increased by 15 percent and our economy at the same time as grown by 49 percent we can grow sustainablely for our planets this agreement will take our local efforts to a new high i look forward to work with the governors and heads of state how we might scale up the inches for great are impact i want to thank all the gofrjz and ministers for me the next step to a lot about for our neighbors to the south and look at the states of baja, california and perplexing city we can truly have been entire west coast collaborative we have a lot of work i'm excited excited to join great partners like across the bay area. >> thank you

i feel this guess a resounding union four of us up here were on the stage in paris in december speaking about climatic change on the pacific coast great to continue the partnership and the work to really recognition that climatic change didn't see governmental boundaries more can we if we prevent catastrophic damage we see coming our way in oakland, california we're proud to be included in the climate champions we firmly believe that cities are a great part of that conversation and solution particularly like oakland and san francisco we know that globally the vast majority of core manages are coming from the world cities that is going to

increase as populations are golden state and yet the creativity to try new things in oakland one of the things we've hope to share is our zero waste program something we believe the main contributed to our significant reduction our 9 percent in core emissions and 14 percent in consumption emissions another thing we hope to contribute to the conversation is creating a measurement of consumption go emissions to again thinking collaboratively and not only about the emissions that are coming if our city but the emissions that are caused by the con summing inside of our city even though this product was produced somewhere else and our partnership with uc berkley is setting a standard in calculating that critical consumption emission standard and, of course, we have so much

to learn from all of you, we represent the main ports of entry for goods coming from asia into the united states how we manage goods movement in a quasi that didn't exacerbate climatic change is a really important conversation we hope to learn from all of you in your practices and so with that, oakland is incredibly proud to join that that initiative group of leaders united and commitment to collaboration to stop climatic change and talk about dangerous i know i get to make my donald trump joke there is nothing more dangers or dangerous than george climatic
