>> the mic isn't on. >> working now? >> yes. >> susan ma and manage the sf biz connect from office of economic and workforce development and just passed the one year anniversary so thought it appropriate to give a overview of what we have done and how it is going. i will tell how we started and what we have done and where we are going and how we actually started was here. conversationwise small business, talking to small business commission and it was really those conversations that we need a program like this to help business to business interactions

in the city. the goals were to create opportunities for small business and encourage loickal spending habits within the community. we launched small business week in 2015 and the first month we had 9 pledges and 90 small business listings. a think a lot of that had to do with our outreach and partner would chamber of commerce and they are invalable and tweent over 50 merchants associations and sent 40 news letters and hash tag biz connect. another piece the work is live evenlt. we hosted a couple so far, the first is called, events made easy and had over wn00 addendsys, 35 small business vendors. salty sweet is a ucis sess story are now served in coffee

shops which is a wig win for them. [inaudible] never taste a horrible cookie ever again so if you speak to her she will tell you that is the goal of the business. >> she makes great cookies. >> the next event we did is a small sf biz connect panel. we had large businesses talking about what they looked for in vendors, and then we had small business vendors talk how they got their foot in the door and that was a great educational experience. [inaudible] hard ware were introduced to air bnb. small business week this year is speed meeting with snacks where you have 3 minutes and ring a bell and go to another table and wanted everyone to meet everyone. [inaudible] placed order with some of the vendors

they met with that event so we are excited because that was a quick turn around. we have over40 pledge businesses and hope to increase that number but we are excited at the growth we had in the last year. we plan on having moreo vents, more pledges, more listings, more introductions because those have been very effective. our promotions we have posters and pens and sf biz connect t shirts and fliers and you are familiar with the resolution supervisor tang brought forward during small business week of this year. she is in support of sf biz connect. that was my recap of what happened in the year. we are all ears if you have sessions we can dobetter or events you would like to see but are really excited

of year two and what else is to come. >> commissioner adams, and thank you very much for the pen and post pad. you are doing a good job. i talk to a lot of businesses in the castro that are working on this and they have made connections with other businesses and doing business between each other. i know it is working out there, so i want to say thank you susan and good job. just keep doing it and keep pushing it. >> thank you very much. also locally made everyone. >> yes, i will tell you from my own experience as someone on the other side of the equation selling products to companies in san francisco. my business like many in san francisco frangly could get all the business they need if san francisco companies focused on buying from san francisco companies. my company makes bags and many

corporations have bags for employees and etendees at events and customers. chocolate and granola, anything that is packaged product or tasty treat that can be given as a gift to someone coming out of town to treely experience san francisco and enjoy something made here. there is just a huge amount of business and you guys are doing great work. ime rrp a big fan and supporter of this program and we just need to do more. i can tell you we are barely scratching the surface. 40 companies is just a mere drop in the ocean the number of companies that could be participating and the number of transactions that could be happening is ordered of magnitude greater than it is today. you got my support as a commissioner as well as someone who benefits from the program and i think it is really awesome. this is a great great project. alright.

commissioners, any other comments? we'll open tupe public comment. any members that would like to comment on the fabulous program, sf biz connect? seeing none, the item is closed. thank you susan very much for all your hard work. >> great job. >> next item, please. >> item number 3, presentation and discussion on transportation demands manage: discussion item. may i have your name? our presenter is wade ricklif. the planning department, correct? of the planning department. >> hello, good afternoon. wade [inaudible] department staff with me today is cory [inaudible] from

planning department staff. i will present today on a multi-year multi-agency effort called transportation sustainability program and if we can go to the slides, that would be helpful. this multi-agency effort is a collaboration between the planning department, the san francisco municipal transportation agency and county transportation authority. some of our colleagues that normally would be joining us are on vacation this week but happy to present for them. so, this program as i mentioned, is a multi-year effort with acknowledgment that existing residents and businesses have been doing their part to fund a transportation system where people have multiple options for moving around the city and making sure we need a vision for the city that fits

with providing those options. the transportation sustainability program acknowledges that and tries to say what can new development do to pay its fair share to contribute to the impacts it has on the transportation system. there are 3 parts to this program and we came to you last year i think cory was here last year to talk about the first part and that was a transportation sustainability fee that expanded the updated the amounts of the fee that applied to non residential development and expanded to fee to apply to residential development for it first time. this passed the board of spl visors in september. the second component we call align. this is about making sure what we analyze for environmental review which is what i do in the planning department reflects what we care about and that is

safety and making sure there are multiple options to get around and that occurred in march. the last component is what i'm here to talk about today and that's a shift component. this component is about providing multiple options for people to get around from new development. it is reducing impacts for new development on the transportation system and this would occur through a transportation demand management ordinance that would shift vehicle trips to sustainable modes of transportation. this proposal is through legislation that was initiated at the planning commission april 28 and we are here today to inform you of that proposal and then answer specific questions that you may have.

the good thing is, here in san francisco we are not starting from scratch. we had transportation demand management in the planning code for at least 30 years. however, there are certain things we can approve upon based on research we have done throughout the country that looks at actually having a comprehensive transportation demand management ordinance instead of the disparate measures throughout the code. it also talks about providing more flexibility and certainty into development review process than what happens sometimes on a ad hoc basis through the gement review process. it also through the best practice research we noticed a trend to have staff that insurance compliance on these measures. using that research and the challenges that we face as a city in

addressing the impacts from new development in san francisco, we tried troocraft a proposal that was san francisco specific and neighborhood specific and there are three main elements of the ordinance and i'll talk about the first two and cory will talk about the last component. in the first is a target aimed at reducing vehicle miles traveled. the overall premise is reduce vehicle miles traveled from new development that would otherwise occur. vehicle miles traveled is watt we use for environmental review. it talks about the amount and distance a project may cause people it drive. a higher amount of vehicle miles traveled indicates more environmental impacts. you have more energy impacts, more air pollution and more green house gas. lower vehicle miles traveled

has less of all those things. the vehicle miles traveled based on having a target that new development will have to meet. the target based on the number of parking spaces that would be provided on the site. more parking, higher target, less parking, less target. we did a lot of empireical research in san francisco the last two summers as well as there is more and more resurp in the transportation field talking about the more park ing provided on a site, the more vehicle miles traveled that will occur there. if you provide parking you need to do more things to insure vehicle miles traveled is reduced. and this ordinance would aploy apply to new development of 10 or more units excluded 100 percent affordable housing and new non residential hauser

of 10,000 square feet or more and the proposal is change of use for those same sizes. i want to make the point if that 10,000 square feet, so some planning code previsions kick in at 10,000 square feet and we were selective choosing that as the thresh old to start app lickability and we also acknowledge a lot of businesses smaller than that may not be able to do some of the things we are talking about in this ordinance which i'll explain in a minute, so we exclodeed those types of developments so it may not effect some of the businesses you all work on. so, a project has a target that it has to achieve. it has a number of points. how they get there is selecting from measures and some of these measures may not be able to be accommodated

in a smaller than 10,000 square foot business so that is why we selected that. there are 26 measures. each measure is assigned a point value from the low end of things, 1 point and showers and lockers for example is 1 point. that is something that triggers start at 10,000 square feet for non residential development and move on to things that have more effectiveness and reduce vehicle miles traveled more than shower squz lockers. things like public transit subsidies or the amount of parking you provide on site. less parking, more effective it is at reducing vehicle miles traveled. how this might play out, my colleague cory teague will give a example project. >> good afternoon. i before

you last year for the transportation sustainability fee for two meetings and appreciate your support of that program then. happy to be in front of you again today. so, wade talked about the background, the framework of the program and at the project level. we actually have the first step is developer or public can use a online tool that will have all the measures and they will be able to plug in the information about their project and determine what the target is and look that measure jz figure what works for their projects so they can do this work before they submit a development application and we have a preliminary version of the tool on the website for people use and become familiar with it. we will take up a made up example project to give a idea. usually we have a residential project that

doesn't make a lot of sense here so we want to share a different example which is 2,000 square foot in south park . they are providing 25 off street parking spaces. that results in a target of 14 points. you have to get enough point val ue to get at least 14 point. the code will require a certain amount och bike parking and require showers and lockers and get a point for each. that takes two point. they have to make up 12 points to make up the target. so, the next thing they ask is how many points can we get for parking supply. parking supply is really tied to your neighborhood context. the city is divided into individual transportation analysis zones, so each zone we have data regarding the parking rates both residential and non residential

in those zones. if a project meets the same parking rate of the zone it is in, then you get a point and then the more you are below that rate, the more points you can get up to total of 11 points. in this scenario, south park taz, the parking rate is 1.2 parking spaces per 1 thousand square feet of development. so, bike parking and showers and lockers they get 9 points for parking supply and so that gets up to 11 poits but still need 3 more points. so, at this point this is random, there are multiple measures they can pick to get the 3

points. in this scenario we chose transportation marketing service which gives the 3 points they need. in this scenario, those measures would constitute the tdm plan. those are the measures required to put in place to reduz. if we change the project and provided 50 parking places that changes the target from 14 points to 16 points so they have to do more to meet the tdm requirements. in this scenario they do additional bike parking and meet the code requirement and go beyond that to get additional points there. their neighborhood parking is.3 so below the 1.2 in the neighborhood but not as much as before so only get 8 points instead of 9 and still to the taylored transpor

tation marketing so use the parking pricing measure to get the final two points. you can have two projects similar but because of how much parking they provide they may be required to do somewhat different tdm plans. once that that plan is proposed for the project, it moves forward in the review process and most would have to go before the planning commission for review. having a code complying tdm plan is a condition of approval for any planning commission review. and then the tdm plan has to be finalized before the building permit is issued. there is the documentation recorded on the property for future owners, home owners associations and so on to hear about what the measures are and what they are committed to do in the future.

the next part comes after all the tdm plan creation and project approval. this is about implementing the strategies they selected and this is where this program is different than others in the planning code. this program will have a very robust proactive monitoring and reporting program associated with it. we will have dedicated staff that will conduct this work. the first step is, preoccupancy monitoring, so some of the measures are capital. how many parking spaces you provide and bike spaces you provide. signage and othersism before the first certificate of occupancy could be issued the staff will go out and inspect the property and make sure those components have been provided per their plan. any operational

requirements they have to provide documentation to that effect as well. they have to satisfy they meet the tdm plan before the certificate of occupancy could be issued. the next phase would be ongoing compliance and that is where we have requirements for site inspections annually and monitoring and reporting. they center to report back to us showing they are continuing to implement the tdm plan as approved and any project that basically is in good stead for 5 years, would go to a less often inspection regime. this part the program is fairly different than what wedo from most other requirements in the

planning code. with that, just to give you a idea where we have been and where we are going, we have done a lot of outreach for this program. we had a open house for the publicm we have been to many community advisory committees and spoken to multiple boards and commissions. we did introduce the legislation at the planning commission april 28 and hopefully will move to had board of supervisors for review and hopefully final adoption. that concludes our presentation and happy to take any questions. >> have you had negative feedback in your outreach to this program? >> commissioner, negative is a

interesting term. i would say we had constructive criticism about certain elements of it. we had a lot of discussion about applicable and designed that to reflect the discussion. we had interesting feedback about specific measures and tried to refine the proposal on research to reflect that conversation but overall i would say the criticism that we had has tried to go towards the same goal of actually reducing vehicle miles traveled. people may have different opinions how to get there. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> just to follow up on that particular question that president dwight said, who are the groups that offered criticism? >> i would say everyone we have met with has had some sort of

critique. we have been meeting with people over the last 6 to 8 months. most recently we met with chamber of commerce last week. it may be more relevant to this setting. one the questions they had is change of use and applicable threshold and how we came up with 10,000 square feet and stuff like that. >> going to the concerns or questions i had, first i totally understand the need as a city that is evolving to use other modes of transportation. i live in visitation valley and born and raised in the city and never seen congestion within the city-i feel like we are in la now or something. i definitely support what the intent of this. my questions are, you brought up 100 percent affordable housing gets a by pass on this, but there are projects in certain neighborhoods where private developers are putting up to 40 to 50 percent affordable housing and

how dus that look regarding the tdm process? is there exceptions or these are hard lines? >> right now is you would have to be totally 100 percent affordable to not be subject to the program. >> i just recommend and it puts me at odds coming from the mission but comment that some projects might need a further consideration because 50 percent affordable housing on a private development, these are landmark things happening in the city currently, so i would just recommend to maybe take a second look at that. my second question would be, this is a process, this is black and white and mathematical formula that is kind of complicated but dont care because i'm sure developers have people on their team that can navigate through this but from a cultural lens and in the mission there is a project on 22 and mission, that is a new development. however, it will impact a older

neighborhood and also a neighborhood that is having big big gentrification issues applying to residentially and small businesses and sometimes what applies in a cookie cut fashion in some neighborhoods could be catastrophic. can you give me a example of considerations from a cultural lens especially things impacting a certain neighborhood, is there room to wiggle or is this program steadfast? >> it is intended to be [inaudible] if you meet your points you meet your point. there are measures within the menu that reflect the geo graphic differences throughout the city, so that one slide- >> i saw that with the highlight parking ratios. >> that is the best elevation. a project in the mission with not as much parking as other parts the city, the rate is lower in that neighborhood than

others. there are other measures in the menu. there is a measure called, healthy food retail in underserved areas, the idea is if you are providing a grocery store in a area that is under represented by healthy foods you are shortening trip distances for people so you get points for that sort of measure so that is another example. >> i see the process goes finally to city planning for final approval, correct? that process, is there room-i bow you said it is pretty steadfast, but from a cultural lens what works maybe in downtown or other neighborhood where you know, it does work, from a cultural perspective historical business and-is there room at the end of the day for some kind of- >> the intent of this is reduce v vehicle miles traveled. there

are other policy considerations regarding cultural and business issues that may effect this plan, but really no, the intent is not to take into account other sorts of [inaudible] >> just to reiterate and clarify, there is a lot of flexibility within the menu itself. there is a lot of room for individual projects to find the right measures that may work for that project in a specific location and specific context, so there is the opportunity for a lot of flexibility within each plan even for one individual project. there may be a lot of different measures they can choose. there is the ability to flex at the project level, there is no specific requirement other than the way it is bit into the measures like the neighborhoods parking rate or measure yoz cuonly use

within a certain geography or a certain type of project. that is already in the measures. there is the ability to be flexible within each project tdm plan. >> within thboundaries of the plan though? >> yeah >> commissioner dooley >> i had one question, which is, it there a part of the plan when a office is built and they comply with the tdm, but then their employees will not park on the street all day? is there any plans to discourage that kind of activity that will continue congestion in a different manner? >> yes, the planning commission and department only has the ability about what happens on the site. this is segmentation and bureachyeracy. we have been working with

colleagues at mta and now they are going through a public outreach process to revisit how they handle curb parking throughout the city and that is a comp hence chb look at curb allocation and how we handsal transportation from new development. >> so, will there be opportunities i assume for more public transportation? i'm thinking for example [inaudible] nob where there is inadequate parking and they are all parked on the streets. it is fairly poorly served by public transportation so will that be part of the plan to amp up public transportation in these area? >> yeah, i think-i f i take a step back, this is not going solve

our transportation problems. the tdm ordinance by itself, the fee that we came to last year is supposed to go towards improvements that invest in transit infrastructure, transit service frequency, providing better transit or bike connections throughout the city, so there are other planning processes going on to try to insure where new development occurs, there are multiple options for people to get aroun. this proposal is really about what is on site aminities can we provide to encourage that to occur. >> director [inaudible] >> for new development mixed use with residential and grounds floor commercial, can you maybe talk about how the developer will meet some of those compliance requirements

or what might be required of them and if the ground floor commercial is divided up smaller than 10,000 feet are they still required to-will the points still be assigned to them? >> i'll start with the latter question first. if the aggregate doesn't add tupe 10,000 or above they are subject to the commercial use so they have to add up above that. if let's say you are 200 residential units building and have 25,000 square feet of ground floor commercial, whatever it may be, then each use would be subject to a different target. so, the most common example we may see in this situation is essentially you have retail type use on the grounds floor that is 25,000 square feet and those are classified as land

use category a that generate the most trips per parking space and then you have residential which is land use category c. we didn't do examples like this, but essentially if you are 25,000 square feet of retail you are subject to bike parking and shower jz lockers like the example cory talked about and then we look at your parking supply and say new grand floor commercial in the city isn't building a lot of parking so probably get a lot of point for that. and then you would select from that menu to fill your other measures. just a example. does that answer your question? >> commissioners any other comments or questions? i have a couple comments. i have trouble with the notion that a project causes people to travel more miles. projects don't cause people to travel more miles recollect people

need to travel and we have taken this punitive approach and the punitive approach is like anything if we reduce supply we will throttle demand. if we tell people we don't want them to eat beef and take it off the market people don't eat more beef. people will travel less by autoable if you don't let them park so we are in the active crusade to [inaudible] i feel we do this disproportioninate in the city and that is there inadequate public transportation. it should start with project proximity to public transportation that runs at frequency to make it attractive practical and convenient. thing weez are not

equally concerned with residential parking at this commission. small businesses rely on residents quality of life and willingness to live in neighborhoods and ability for outsiders to come and participate in the economic vitality of the market place and local neighborhoods and time after time we hear business owners telling us parking restrictions in the neighborhoods prevent people from coming to their neighborhoods and cutting off from customers thahad for years. we heard here in the commission time and time again people coming and explaining how they won't go to neighborhoods in san francisco because they can't park. we are throttling our city with the crusade of park{not balancing that with improving the supply side oof public transportation and alternatives and we can't rely on walking and cycling as a huge part of this equation. we

have to provide public transportation because as we get older, some won't be riding our bikes as much and if we make this a city where fr young people who can ride bikes live rfx that is a interesting proposition and may include that in your planning because we valot of people that can't or don't want to ride their bikes on the streets of san francisco that are in a deplorable condition. it is dangerous even without automobiles threatening to ride on many streets t. is uncomfortable and dangerous. you know, i don't-from my perspective, i don't-i have some very serious concerns about this program and the reason i ask you about your outreach if you like to call it constructive criticism is because i can't fathom that you are not hearing in every venue that you go to

talk about this whether it is in the neighborhood or residence or businesses downtown at city hall you are not getting very serious concerns about the effect of this program on the quality of life have economic vitality of the city. the two first and formost principles of the transportation policy is insure the quality of life and economic vitality of the neighborhoods. steve from brownies hardware-you look that first page the transportation policy and see that is the policy. i don't see this getting at improving the quality of life or economic vitality of the neighborhoods, i think they go in the other direction. that is my observation as a residents and

business owners in the san francisco and in dogpatch one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in san francisco, it will suffer from the parking restraints inflicted by the mta. i live in a neighborhoods where the mta monopolizes 3 blocks of parking near the bus depot and mta workers idle their cars-talk about a environmental issue, they idle while they wait for the previous shift to vacate the parking places so they can then pull into what are public parking places so they have taken all the public parking around the bus depot off the market. the city of san francisco guards its own parking stock, the only other agency in the city of san francisco that has the right to build its own parking is uc and

what does uc do? they build parking on their propertys. i live next to mission bay. uc built high rise parking structures on that property. why? because they acknowledge the quality of life and ability to hire people for their hospital requires that they be able to ride in their own vehicles to a neighborhoods that is completely underserved by public transportation and park vehicles to care for people in their mission to provide health service. they acknowledged that they have a problem. it is called, parking and their solution is build parking and lots of it. our city's posture is outside of its own demesne and outside of uc is not address the demand issue, but to cyst masly remove parking from the stock by lof the measure jz under the guise of making intersections safer and all good things rsh but daylighting

intersections, remove public parking, remove curb parking and reorganize bus stops, remove parking. the moratorium on new build ing structures and encouraging old parking structures tourn down. outside of their own demesne and the domain not controlled by the planning department and mta, two domains where they acknowledge parking is a rerequirement and preserve it and build more, the rest of the public people who have visit here, people who work here and people who live here suffer disproportioninately from this crusade to eliminate parking and that is my observation as a residents and business owner in the city of san francisco. if i'm wrong people can correct me. commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> like i said, that is exactly what i

wanted to highlight president dwight is just the uninteneded consequences. i understand as a city we have to plan for the future because yes, evaerch wale there will be a time where there will not be enough room to park all the vehicles as the city expands and population grows, i understand that, the problem is, it is at a expense of what makes cultures and cities great and that is why i give you the mission. 22 and mission, if there is a big development with mixed use and xhrjs on the bottom and the tdm is applied, people are still going to drive. people are still going to drive and since there is no additional parking technically added, what happens is the traditional-the old businesses already struggling that are regional business because san francisco is a the man hat thochb bay so people gentifyed out that visit the local shops have to compete with the new development because the parking is not in line. that

is the concern, the unin10ed consequences of this. to highlight what president dwight says, unintentionally you help gentrification because if we want people that ride bikes and healthy and young you don't want older people and people that are gentifyed out. i don't say you wake up this is master plot this, it is just unintended master consequences. we want the consideration because small business needs parking. people that have been pushed out have to drive in. if you kooshopping like my mom, she lives in pittsburghs and she won't take bart, she will drive and park in front of [inaudible], do all the shopping for a week and leave. she will not ride a bake here or take bart or catch a bus. it is the way it is. if you take away that populous from a local merchant that will anchor in our neighborhood

that business is gone and the mission is another neighborhood. again, i understand that we have to plan for the future of our city, which won't accept these [inaudible] there are things we can do like, maybe when we are doing developments, we can do parking that later on the future turned into xhrjs retail. it is the way we engineer the city, we need parking now but maybe in the future we don't and those parking structures can be converted to other things. residential. -now we need parking still. >> i own a car and take public transportation as much as possible but need a place to put my car when i'm not using it and want my car to visit my paints in heeldburg because my parents wone come here because they can't park. i'm not the only one. people won't come from the outside to visit friends and family if they can't park

so we are cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world. there is a lot of consequences unintended or not. commissioner adams. >> i want to state and agree with president dwight and commissioner ortiz-cartagena. it is cultural thing. we had this conversation yesterday in the mission and castro in my neighborhood it is a regional destination and planning has come to many of our meetings and mta has come to our meetings and told them we need parking. it is regional destination and people still drive here no matter what you put in. the under ground stuff after midnight where people want to come to my neighborhood after midnight. the businesserize starting to suffer and the consequences are being

felt. we told you, please do not take parking out, please when you build a building let them put parking when people visit and planning and mta says no and guess what? we have the buildings built and lose parking and business. in a nut shell, this is something you need tatake back to the planning and mta and say listen, we need to rethink because some of the small businesses are losing business. >> commissioner dooley >> i hate to be the pylon butd from north beach, telegraph hill embarcadero and everything high cocommissioners are saying is absolutely true of north beach. we are trembling in fear the changes proposed in the merchant corridor that will make it more impaunl to park. we have a reputation it is hard to park. our small

businesses rely on-it is regional and get a lot of visitors. it is just unrealistic this whole thing now. no more cars, everyone has to walk, everyone has to ride a bike. it is just not true and we are not saying everyone should buy 10 cars but to say people won't use cars especially because our transportation-of course i drove here, it would take a hour and a half at least to get from north beach to here. i don't have that kind of time and would say that is true of many people. they will just stop coming to our neighborhoods. i already see it, complaining and it is very hurtful to our business corridors if you guys want to put a big transit lane on columbus avenue, it is just unacceptable. you really need to understand that we live and work here and it is not a

conceptual thing to us, it is our daily life. >> when i started my company 9 years ago, all my office employees did live in san francisco and they got to work by various means many by bike. today most employees live outside the sit a because they can't afford to live and need to to get in the city. i start my day looking on my phone to see who told me they are late because have public transportation problems or need a parking space. we have gone from 4 to 2 hour parking. my employees move their car not once a day but 3 time as day and they run the risk once they get in the car and out of the two hour spot they will not find another two hour spot or another spot period. i potentially lose my employee after 2 hours in the morning to the rest the day because they can't park legally and they risk getting a fine. i

don't know what it is now. 65 to over $100 which basically whipes out their earnings for the day. this is a problem for small business and already a problem for residents. i'll telling you, this is going to have a very dramatic effect and it is building to a crescendo in small business and residents and parking could be the straw that breaks the camels back in the city. commissioner yee, riley. >> one of your goals is to reduce vehicle mile traveled and one of your examples here, if a office building with 25 parking spaces is less points to meet. the building with 50 parking spaces is more points, but if if 25 less parking space you not really reducing the vehicle traveled miles.

those 25 people will be traveling all over the place to look for a parking space. have you considered that? >> so, commissioners, i appreciate the comments. this proposal is based on research that we had done as well as research throughout the country that demonstrates there is a a relationship between the number of parking spaces and vehicle miles traveled, so that is why in that example there is less vehicle miles traveled with less parking. >> i would think that is-- >> when you throttle supply, you decrease demand. that like a axiom. what happens is, the bulge comes out of quality of life and economic

vitality so you decrease quality of life. you decrease economic vitality until you get to a breaking point and now i would say sure, you take out more parking and will see less miles driven. if i can't afford to park my car, i have it get rid of my car so i will figure a way to not drive more miles. i want a place to park my car t is a convenience. i don't want permission to drive more. i want permission to park the vehicle i own so on sunday morning i go to sayway to get all the stuff i can't carry on my bike. totomy paper, paper towels, the stuff i don't want to put in my back pack or carry on the muni system because i can't physically. so, alright, i want to use my car once a month, twice a month to make my supply run. i don't use my car to go to work. i didn't use a car to come

here today. i didn't have to wait for 30 minutes which is the average wait time on t. so, by punitively removing parking of course you reduce average miles traveled because people can't have cars and i just think that is the wrong approach and think we should find a way to store cars. whether you repurpose it later i don't care. people criticize cars on emissions. we are on the virj of the age of the electric vehicle and also on the virj of the age of sem iatonmississippi vehicles which will make transportation more efficient. all the uber drivers, they are all coming outside of the city. you got all kinds of ironies going on and think we are working on the wrong part the problem. i think what

we are working on is make ing the problem worse. you can point to all the studies you want that reducing the number of parking places reduces miles traveled and will accept that as a axiom. to me, that isn't a statistical thing to bandy y about, that is what it is. less beef, more people eat chicken, it is the way it goes. obviously i think we have some as you may call them concerns about this program and yours isn't the only one. parking restrictions moratoriums on building and parking structures, all these things work together in our observation me beaning here 15 years and others born and raised, i

have seen dramatic decline in economic vitality and quality of life related to parking. if anyone has a example that is in the other direction, i welcome it, but don't think i heard any today. i would guess as a group we finds this to be-a further kind of decrease in quality of life and economic vitality for businesses we represents. i state that as a observation. >> commissioners, this is not agendized as a action item but can aggregate your comments and forward them to planning department. >> we know this is your job, but we are coming from neighborhoods and don't care where you are in the city,

whether it is mission or castro or west portal, bayview, south of market, the number one issue is not what we heard today, the number 1 issue with small businesses in all these areas is parking and the reason why you hear us today is because we go back to our neighborhoods after our meetings and they know we are listening to you and we get it from our constituents. they are like, they are taking this away, they are taking that away. you guys come out for public meetings at our neighborhoods. we tell you what we want, you guys say okay and you do the opposite. what president dwight says, we are coming to that point because start going into some neighborhoods now. i don't know if you live in the city or not, but guess what, you see vacancy squz a lot of it. the reason why you see vacancy is because a lot of

these are regional destination neighborhoods and they are not getting the people to come and shop and spend money so they can afford to stay in their businesses. they said, this is just part of your department and we know we have this plan in the city, which is a transit first. great, transit first. we have to address the other problem right now because if we don't, we will have a lot of problems in the little neighborhoods where tourist come and there will be no place for them to go. but, this is why you are hearing-you are not the only ones mptd last month they came and talked about parking permits. we will let everybody know and planning and mta we need to-somebody has to start listening to the small business owners or else there will not be small businesses left. >> this isn't personal. this

is about this institutionalized situation we have here in the city that is frankly-is t is to the point where the business community in particular and i think many residential organizations are exacerbated and we hear all about the outreach and wonder who you are talking to because you are not talk ing to us. either people are not speaking their minds because it is unpopular with people that are probike. i am probike and i take pub lb transportation. when i try to get a t on 6:30 when there is a giants game-you think they would have a lot of transportation and in the middle of rush hour and time interval goes from 5 minutes to 30 minutes at 6:30 in the evening in the midst of rush hour and

giants game. the t was a after thought fl mta to extend transportation to that neighborhoods. why would they need it? it is unconsenable and many people helping us run our business live in the eastern neighborhoods and to be subjected to that type of inadequate transportation is frankly a outrage and that is where we need attention. we don't need to take away peoples parking places in the eastern neighborhoods to solve our transportation problems, we need to address frequency of transportation. we also don't need to speed up transportation in san francisco. i don't want the buses going faster. they are blowing through lithes and stop signs and endanger in

the lives. frequency first. not speed. not less parking. frequency first of the public transportation we have and build more of it. add more trains and more tracks. i think if we could start having those presentations, that would be fantastic because all we are really hearing is about the management and the ever decreasing chipping away at what is still a vital transportation mode for this city and by the way, the entire country and world and that is automobile transportation. make it more efficient, i'm down with that. making it so it is convenient to park my vehicle and have other modes, i'm in favor of that. those are the things-those are the observations on the ground we have outside

academic halls and transportation planning because i think they tend to miss what happens in real life in the neighborhoods to the business and residents and visitors and employees that come from the outside of san francisco. >> thank you for your presentationism . i remember reading the documents there was a enforcement element of this in terms of increased presence from sfpd at intersection squz what not, is that related-i know it isn't related to this under the [inaudible] of mta, but in addition to that my question was, have you allowed for in law units to be converted in such we have people not using their garages as much for parking and the need for housing and my

mom got 100 plus dollar ticket to park in our driveway yesterday so i know was we live in a city you can't block a sidewalk but that is personal driveway so how are you comp sating with housing that takes away housing? >> i'll try to answer the first one. the enforcement question is more about enforcement in the public right of way at intersections. that type oof work isn't related to this program. this is just transportation demand management program for individual projects on private property, so we will have our own monitoring and reporting staff and there will be work done to make sure that projects are actually implementing the tdm plans the way they they said and if they don'ts it is standsered planning code enforcement there. the question about parking in driveways and so on is really more of a

question for mta and their code and their practices. i don'ts think we can address that here. it isn't something that is addressed in the tdm program that we have before you today. beyond that i say thank you. we hear your comments and will take them back to our colleagues. one thing i did want to point out is specific to this program-i understand there are a lot of comments on the parking policy overall in the city which touches a lot of different departments and issues, the tdm program will not prohibit from providing more parking spaces. the example with the office project, the ordinance will not say office project can not have the 50 parking spaces instead of 25, it will say if you have that many parking spaces, we really want people to use them less. we want people to drive less if they are parking more.

the conversation president mentioned where you need your car for convenience and don'ts want to use it often but need it sometimes, that is fine, but this ordinance would do is say if you dothat much parking you also need to do more tdm measure tooz make it easier for people who live and work there to use transit or a bike system and have the alternative means so if you have that many parking spaces you are not in a situation where maybe that is the only option for those residents or workers to use . there is nothing in the program that says a project can or can not provide a certain amount of parking and we are seeing a lot of projects especially xhrblsh projectss coming in very low parking amounts just based on the market. not based on what we are telling them and as lock as you

stay within what is permitted in the code this ordinance will not prevent them providing that amount orparking, it just says if you provide that much parking you need to offset with the other measures that help give residents or employees more access and more option tooz other modes so they are not completing every trip by car. you reduce the vmt from the project in some way so want to make that point about this program. >> what we are trying to say is-i work with developers. the way this is structured-i'm a developer i don't care what will cost less. it is more profitable to reduce amount of parking spaces in a project. that is what happens. the consequences are all the other things it triggers. the

mission in our neighborhoods, things like that are fragile. i xoe you have done research across the country, this is san francisco. what works in boston, that doesn't work for us. don't compare us to anybody else. what works there, you can't cookie cut a city that is unique that has the specific cultures. that is all we are saying and we understand you have to plan for the future. we totally get it. he rides his bike everywhere, but you can't do that at the expense of the citizens currentsly making the city vibrant. in the future maybe everybody rides bikes and there are hover board and we are all long dead and you are brilliant for getting rid of parking but now small businesses need parking mpt the way this is construed, it encourages developers to not think about parking because it is easier. the point system it makes it

easier if you don't put that many parking because you don't have to meet the points. on the 25 project that gets rid of 4 or 3 points for not adding parking. >> the single most important offset is constructing and improving public transportation and developers do not contribute accept in a minor financial way. they don't buy buses or muni trains, so we left out of the equation the sickle moe pornts offset for parking which is improving public transportation and the only way they do that is with fees and that isn't enough to solve the problem. this is-we haven't tied the desired outcome to behavior the developer can exhibit other than cutting costfelt they won't say i'll buy a train or put in a rail line or put in a stop closer to my

develop. if my develop is 300 yard or a mile from the nearest stop, it is what it is. they don't control that and so um, i just think the notion of offsetting-the absurd thing is put in a infinite number of bike parking spots, it doesn't matter. that isn't a viable asset and result in the desired outcome. put in as many showers you want, hopefully it is a residents. for businesses, yeah, having a shower helps, but people just don't shower at work unless they work in a large company where they really have a locker room. i think that these offsets are not really going to have the desired effect. they look good on the point scale you constructed but all practical retalthy those are unused spaces and showers and people that bike

will bike regardless and the people that want to be in cars will be increasingly frustrated and choose not to work or live in the city. >> i think the situation trying to point out, it is already a parking crisis for business and residents. i know myself, that even though we have residential parking the number of people who drive to work in offices near us have completely taken over all the residential parking to had point none of us can come home before 7 at night. i'm a florist and deliver flowers and can not come home because it is like 125 percent saturation over there. if you make this so that more things are being built with less parking, you know, you are just telling all the residents and

businesses to leave. like mark was saying, like myself, i have to drive from my job and the fact that i am now limited to having to figure out something to do until 7 o'clock at night so that some of those office workers will be gone, that is out of control. >> i was told i could have one parking permit for my own car at my business and up to 3 parking permits for 3 delivery vehicles. i don't need 3 delivery vehicles. do i have to be in charge dulling out the limited supply of permits and selecting the winners and losers. i tell my employees dopet complain, just don't drive but that is cold hearted too because some it is the only means to get to work and they have doctors appointments and children to pick up and all those things that sure, y can figure out a way. if

tomorrow your car blew up and had to figure how to get to work you would get to work but may 3 hours late and frazzleed when you get there so your quality of life declined, your economic viability declined because you won't keep the job long if you show up late 2 or 3 hours late for work. i tell my employees to get up 2 or 3 hours earlier. how do you respond to that? we get back to quality of life. now my day isn't a 8 hour working day, it is 13 hour working day because it takes two hours to get to and from work. it has to give somewhere. so, yes you are accomplishing your goal of reducing the number of vehicle miles but what doesn't show up on the stats and point scores is how upset people are because that is a unquantifyable negative effect. >> if i can just touch on one

point. wade brought this up the tdm ordinance isn't design today be a grand fix to the transportation problems in san francisco. if is a very focused program. [inaudible] more transportation improvements. we didn't include the slide but when we presented last year we had slide showing all the revenue generated by there tsf for the next 30 years is a small amont of the total projected revenue need to bring the transportation system where it needs to be and why we passed the transportation bonds and the city is doing other work outside of the this program on the revenue issue and money and funds needed to improve the transit system ovall because there is a understanding there is a entire program if we are going encourage people to drive less and luce oretd means more, we need to improve those means.

i don't think that point is lost on us or colleagues at mta eve n if it isn't part of this presentation. we hear you loud and clear and working oon that >> it is incredibly frustrating. i'm not a mean or cynical person by nature and it pains me to see this constant stream of well educated highly paid professionals come before us and tell us their solutions to problems which i think are making the situation work in the city. i don't like saying that. i love to have a per aid of people smart, well paid and educated people come in and tell me how they will solve the problem. when that turns that is great, but in the mean time we are just sitting here and exacerbated and it doesn't make us feel good to send you away saying that didn't go well. i

know it doesn't feel great. the next stop, the bar. it is what it is in the city right now and so you know, i'm telling you what i see, what i feel, what i experience in my daily life as a business owner and resident so i think we all have that shared experience. apologies for this not being a great experience, but maybe the message needs to get back the highers ups that you know what, not everyone is nodding their heads saying this is awesome, because it isn't. without any further comments we open up for public comment. any members that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, this item is now closed. thank you, i do appreciate you coming out to tell us about the program. >> thank you for listening to

us. >> that is part of the dialogue, we are on pub lb record. many things that hap in in the public are not on record so it is our unfortunate task to do this even though i'm sure there are a lot of people watching thinking this guy is antitransportation. that is not true. next item. >> alright. item 4, approval of theregular meeting minutes. we are going to call several meeting minutes at the same time but any of these may be singled out for seperal consideration by a member of the commission or a member of public. >> unless there are members of our commission or member thofz public that want to specifically review any of these specific items, then we can take them as a group and approve them. >> i will read out all of them that we

are considering. >> i like to for the record say thank you for getting the last couple meetings on todays agenda. >> june 13, 2016, may 9, 2016, december 8, 2014, november 10, 2014. october 27, 2014. october 6, 2014. september, 8, 2014. august, 25, 2014 and july 28, 2014. >> what were you doing on july 28? >> i was here. i make a motion to approve all the minutes. >> are there memberoffs the public that would like any of the minutes dwelt with as individual items? seeing none if any commissioners would like these as a individual item we

entertain a motion to approve them in mass. >> i make a motion to approve all the meetings minutes that we just heard. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> that motion is approved unanimously. >> fantastic, that is part of a load off. >> to 6 to 0 with one absent >> i did read these, i don't know how you did this but on the older ones you did very very well on those. >> thank you. some of these were drafted previously. thank you. item number 5, [laughter]. update on legacy business program. this is discussion item and the presenter is

regina dick-endrizzi executive director of aufs of small business >> before you is a the list last meeting i provided you with a list of the businesses who submitted applications nominated and submitted applications and a list of businesses that had been nommated but waiting on applications. before you are the list of businesses that have submitted applications and i wanted to provide you with a update that have been officially forwarded to historical preservation commission which they will hear i don't know the exact number but will hear some on the july 20th meeting which means those applications will soon be coming to you so once i know specifically which ones wilg be on their agenda i can provide you with that information. if you take a look at the first column in yellow,

those were the ones forwarded. >> these are for historical- >> for the registry. >> welcome to have discussion but i want to review the business eligibility criteria again so that it is a business that has been in san francisco for 30 years or more, a nominator can nominate a business under 30 years if there is some extraordinary circumstances . the business has contributed to the neighborhoods history and/or yoitd of a particular neighborhoods or community and the business committed to maintaining the physical features or tradition that define the business and culinary craft and art forms. i think going with what the commission stated in the past that they really

want businesses to be able to tell their story, and also not to have it be ownerous, just to keep in mind that that is the instructions geing out to businesses as hay draft their narrative and so for you, you will be-you are now a adjudicatedantty around this one particular issue in terms of making that final determination, so it will be to you to you know, when you are adjudicating the application whether the business met that standard, some provide more information and some provide less in terms of the quantity and volume of information. i want to provide you the opportunity before we start really getting into the

official arena of reviewing these on the official record. if there is information that we as staff want to-if you want a particular cover sheet, some items of consideration to identify around the criteria. >> will the first time-i just want to get the process down once it goes through approval with correct application and going to historic group do we hear it as a group here? >> how it will work is historical-once the application is forwarded to historical preservation they will provide comments and those comments are for your consideration in addition to the application. then when each applicant it will have a formal hearing before you, so the applicant comes

before you and tell their story and their interest being on the registry. so, and then from there you make the determination. each applicant will do their presentation. >> who determines if the application is complete from a procedural standspoint? >> that is office of small business. >> [inaudible] >> what is the historical preservation commission-what is their role in terms-what is their role? if the application is filled out to the satisfaction of office of small business, what is the interim step? >> so, first i want to say that for staff until we get more specific direction, my review at this particular point of the historical narrative is

just insureing there is some component of each of these points addressed in the narrative. i'm not evaluating the written document. um, so, the historical preservation commission will be providing some context. they have a committee that looks at cultural assets and components to the city so their feedback as i understand will focus predominantly around item 2 which is business contribution tooz the history and identity of a particular neighborhood. there may be other components they add if there are few businesses that are also located in historic buildings. they might comment on its historic nature to the development of a neighborhood or a person of significance, something along

that lines. so, they are looking at its relationship to the history of the city and will provide you with comments. >> if a business meets the criteria of being 30 years-30 or more years, then i mean, it would be perhaps interesting to see a case where the hpc ruled that they didn't somehow meet the qualification of being a legacy business because that is purely subjective they didn't contribute sufficiently. i see where there will be some discussion between 20 and 30 years. if i read this properly, there is a hard cut off at 20 years so we won't look at a company that is around for 18 years and try to finagle that. it is really dealing with the gap, 20 to 30 years where i suspect more

dialogue will be had. i guess you only-in that gap you either want really intently to be on the registry for pr reasons or pass that bar so you can move to the next level if you intend ed to apply for the legacy business funds because you cannot-funds are not available to any business that does not first go through this getting on the registry, is that correct? >> correct. you have tabe on the registry. i think some of the uniques things-where maybe there may be more a lens on the historical narrative is there our businesses that have been in existence more than 30 years, but the current owner and this is businesses

that are not going for exception but the current owner is less than 20 years, but the business has been in existence. where there will be more criteria for what i will be looking at is insureing they articulate the section 3 to insure that they have retained the core element of the business when they purchased it that is creating the legacy business component of it. so, you know, it might be somebody purchases a hardware store and own it less than 30 years, but they retained as a hardware store and same name and maybe same location. so, that owner will just need to-that current owner will need to make sure

their narrative talks about-- >> [inaudible] >> we could apply on all kinds of conditions. i think that what is important for any viewers to understand is that this is the registry and the registry and the fund are two entirely separate matters to move on to the application for the legacy business fund requires that you first pass the legacy business registry qualifications and are admitted to the registry. that is what we are discussing here, not anything to do with the legacy business fund. correct? >> right. >> so, the timeline, the fiscal year, does that mean it is coming up june 30th? >> in terms of the number of nominations per year?

>> yes. will people not be able to submit after a certain time? >> it means the count starts in terms of the number of nominations per year, it is 300 per year so the count starts again july 1. >> [inaudible] that is where i got my bathroom set >> i'm looking forward to the first cohort and this is work in progress so will refine our process. interesting to see what happens at hpc and we'll deal with it when it gets to us >> the last thing to communicate to you is that some of the businesses we have been in communication with that are nominated and because the registry is very new and we haven't yet built the branding and identity and that is we have the fundsing in the current budget -july 1 budget cycle so will

engage on that. i'm looking forward to really building the brand and identity value of the registry so that because there are plenty of businesses that don't -that are legacy business that don't need to engage in any financial assistance and but are still sort of not-we need to help build that value identity to get them on to the registry. >> i always contended the registry is potentially a tremendous promotional vehicle for these businesses and can't promote a empty list so the sooner we get businesses on the list and real marquee brand whether anchor brewing or other wellknown companies that will give mojoe to the list and look forward promoting it as well.

>> levi. >> if no other comments we open to public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, this item is closed. next, please. >> item number 7, the directors report. sorry, item 6, general public comment. >> here we open to public comment for anything that was not on our agenda today, correct? >> yes, the comment can comment on matter within the jurisdiction or not on todays calendar and/or suggest agenda items for future consideration. >> any members like to comment not on our agenda or suggest items for the future? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> alright. item 7, directors report.

this is update and report on office of small business and the small business assistance center. update on department programs, announcement from the mayors policy matters update on leacy business program. small business activities. discussion item. >> commissioners, today we have -i like to invite katie shurping. katie is the small business accelerator program manager and if you recall the mayor approved in the budget to a position to help restaurants accelerate the process through the licensing and permitting process that came out of the work of jane gong and business portal team. katie is in her third week and wanted to make sure you had a chance

to meet her. >> good afternoon commissioners. thank you so much for having me today. my name is katie shurping, the new small business acceleration team program manager. i'm very excited to get the program going today. by way of introduction, i come from a urban planning backfwround and have a master in urban planning and focused on design and development. i have career work in public sector economic development world but spent the last few years as planning and development consultant for developers helping go through the permitting process primarily in the east bay. mainly from a planning lens, but included a number of small businesses including restaurant businesses so think it is great opportunity to use that skill

set and focus and really use it on behalf of city of san francisco and our small businesses. regina mentioned the program developed based on the controllers report and one the recommendations that came out of that report is a case manager, a key person who could be the point person to small restaurant businesses would help address the number of issues they identified. things like, focus on customer service, focus on turn arounds times for permitting and improving the interdepartmental collaboration. the focus on restaurants is giving the complexity in permits restaurant businesses so the idea, if we can successfully facilitate simplification for small business owners we may be able to scale that for other small businesses. so, we are in very

early steps still launching the program so some of the next steps include meeting with team members in different departments and work wg private sector stakeholder jz think about other small business programs that are already happening in the city and how we can work together most effectively. so, i welcome you to reach out to me in the future with comments or questions or suggestions you may have. i will be coming back before you in the future as we launch the program to keep you updated. thank you very much. >> great. welcome. >> if you have any questions for katie you are welcome to ask. >> welcome. >> thank you very much. >> katie is a hybrid between office of economic and workforce development and our office and right now katie and i have worked together because we do more of a new business permitting

and licensing advisement. it is a joint program between oewd and our office. e eventual wale katie will spend some time at department of building inspection and the space we will be getting at 1650 mission street between planning and dbi on the ground floor katie will be located there so it is a perfect place to meet with new restaurants and then being able to engage with those two entities. >> is she on your pay roll or [inaudible] >> oewd's. >> welcome. >> thank you very much. >> thank you katie. and then did want to let you know the legacy business program manager we have been connecting interviews and will be

concluding those very shortly. want to thank commissioner ortiz-cartagena for his time and yee riley volunteering and making yourself available but we are now going conclude that process, so i will hopefully be able to inform you soon of who the new program manager will be. um, and then lastly, the crv redemption issue, thank you commissioner zouzounis being tasked as a business representative but also commission representative along with our office and gorge reaves. the letter the commission drafted to support the legislation attached through the budget in hoping to be able to give the city of san francisco the authority to come up with a creative means to

minimize our small businesses from having to do redemption did not pass through, so we are not able to do that. we are work wg department of environment on next steps and because the state is now going and doing sting operations in some the small businesses have already felt it. the stakeholder meetings we will be conducting is to do two fold, work to find a interim solution and gather the support to create a long term solution. so, both commissioner zouzounis and i will be able to report more later as those elements get developed. and if you do know of any businesses having issues, and

any businesses out there and from merchant areas having issues, please have them contact our office, the office of small business and we'll direct you to kevin drew with department of environment who is the best person to advise how to facilitate handling the requirement. >> i have a quick question on budget. >> budget is good. >> good, okay. >> move to the next item? any public comment on the directors report? seeing none, move to the next item. item 8. >> item 8, commissioners reports, this allows the prez dchbt, vice president and commissioners to report on recent small business activities and make announcements och interest to the small business community. >> i'll start. i attended the lgbtq business sal darety avent last tuesday

community organized by david campos and director edriscon and we heard various stands on the issue from transit riders and businesses and residents and it was a very heated and emotional gathering, but i really feel there may be progress attributed to that. a lot of the people opposed the rail lines and right turns have faith in sfmta and none agree with what they did, they do feel people working on the project they do want to help so we are waiting to see what outcomes happen attributed to that. lastly, like regina missioned, the last two weeks we interviewed candidate. i want to comp lment regina because every candidate is

keep an eye on that. it has a huge effect on the residents and small businesses so clearly i have to applaud chuck nebious for all his coverage and relentlessly staying on the issue. i know a number of business leaders have complimented him and encourage him to keep reporting on it and it has become so critical all the news agencies banded together to try and elevate the dialogue and they are not claiming they will solve the problem, but we definitely need a much broader dialogue how to address the issue because what we have been doing so far isn't yielding the results we want. keep that on the radar screen for the future for potential business here. anything else? alright, seeing no other recommendations,

anyone from the public want to comment on the lack of new business? seeing none we move to the final item and that is adjournment. >> okay, item number 10, do we have a -we need to see our slide, please. >> say my parting words before we adjourn officially. that would be, our custom to begin and end each meeting the aufts of small business is the only place to start your new business in srf and the best place to get answers about doing business in san francisco. the office of small business should be your first stop when you have any questions about what to do next. if you need assistance with small business matters, start here at the office of small business. thank you. >> thank you. alright, do we have a motion to adjourn? >> so move. >> i second. >> all in nairfb? favor? >> aye.

we're not accepting this should be happening in our city anymore i think everybody knows the transformation locations of the two one open jfk and thirty avenue and golden gate park a car speeding upward of thirty or 50 miles per hour and crossed over a lane and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle the other one on howard and 7 the transformation driver was speed up through a red light and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle fortunately because of some quick action by members of the public and the police the transformation person involved the alleged perpetrator howard and 7 brought into custody and

charged insider the drivers on jfk and golden gate park are at large call the transformation pole if you have any information to hold this person accountable for the transformation death he's responsible for. >> it is we believe we've been making progression on vision zero those two as well as the others we've had this here are just horrific we continue to focus on redesign of our streets to make them safer we at howard and 7 updated the transformation signal timing and enhanced the transformation crosswalks things we'll not stop someone speeding through a red light but continue the howard and fulsome bacon and

eggs and infrastructure are elevated from the transformation environmental impact report so we highway patrol with the transformation conclusion we'll move towards improvements on those streets south of market we do have as part of our vision zero efforts and we'll be reporting to the transportation authority vision zero committee later this week 47 projects that are the next adjudicator of the vision zero improvement project 22 capital projects that we'll complete 20 more will reach a major milestone with the transformation construction to proceed and you wouldn't non-construction with the transformation communication we complete by the end of 2017 so with your support and the support of voters and the funding we'll be advancing those projects working across the city

to get those improvements in the ground and sustaining that 13 miles ever high injury corridors will get the treatment in 2016 and others in 2017 as part of the vision zero go action plan we do continue to support the police and their focus on the 4 and focusing on the top 56 most dangerous driving behaviors that cause those problems and increasing their enforcement of those behaviors which is good they likely clearly needs to do more on the engineering and the enforcements side we need to do more on the education to make it less likely to center the tragedies continue to happy and telegraph hill working on the legislation wards to giving san francisco the authority to

enforce speed with cameras currently not allowed by the state of california but allowed by another communities across the country it is proven the federal safety administration to be effective and reducing collisions by a number of the 2025 percent of those collisions in the past week where speed was the preliminary collision factor so since we don't have enough police in the city or any city to police cameras can be effective we'll be working hard with the - our representatives and states legislature so weasel continue to redouble our efforts in terms of redesigning our streets to make them safer

focusing on the high injury corridors we'll continue to support the police and work across the city with our partners outside the transformation city education and the awareness and behavior change and seek the changes for local, state and federal level and our condolences to the family and friends of those who are grieving and we'll doing everything we can to prevent that from happening again on to happier news the preliminary competition for the cable car bell ringing was held thursday the cable car barn we have identified from that 6 be finalists and (calling names) two of those csa draw and others

are first time finalists and csa draw the first women to expedite in the finalists great to see that diversities into the championship on the heels of recertifying the third ever cable car person through this this is great news the judges or will many of you know from the sfmta board member and the chinatown trip and the improvement project karen johnson golden gate and darcy for sf beautiful and helped to sponsor the event with the transformation pete's and other folks attending those 6 folks will be xooeft against one of the winners last year on

july 7th in union square i believe it is at noon so look forward to seeing everybody want to thank the 53 annual police explosion a great way to highlight the transformation history and the skills of our cable car operators move on to a couple muni forward updates one of them is that construction will begin on the 9 san brand new improvements on two parts of 11 and bayshore those are improvements that the legislated last year sometime last year this project will bring a quirk more reliable ride and satisfactory space on the street to get on and off the bus for 20 thousand riders on the 9 r construction should be wrapped

up by next spring and they include a number of things transit glubz at bayshore and harrison and intersection of oakland and jerry read and transit island on 11 and bayshore and portland and stop options during the transformation construction we'll work with the construction cruise work on both sides and minor delays an muni and 11 but continue to maintain the route and maybe slight adjustments led by san francisco public works and doing everything we can to minimize the transformation impact on people driving and walking and, of course, on muni riders this capital projects are many things to make the 9 and 9

r faster and 20 thousand riders will benefit from those changes so great to see probation officer moving forward i wanted to give you an update on mission street and any improvements that we've implement as you may know that is been a lot of reaction to those improvements with positive and negative we hosted with supervisor campos last week, a community meeting in the mission cultural center and feedback cheryl brinkman was there a large crowd to remind you, we started this project the implementation in march and legislated earlier this year and last year we implemented it with the transformation goals of improving traffic safety and the muni reliability as with many of the muni projects we're getting a lot of

vision zero and times two for one benefit on many of the projects the transformation main element of the project constituent a transit only lane and a southbound or reconfiguration of street for the 3 two southbound one northbound and the nation of some of the single block stops and most notably i believe what is of most concern the term restrictions we have only one lane of traffic northbound the project diverts through traffic auto traffic right turns starting another caesar chavez and 26 24 and 22 and 16 i believe and it is those turn restrictions that we're hearing a lot of concern but at the same time, we're hearing a lot of very

positive feedback in terms of the fact it worked in terms of transit performance making that ride reducing the transformation delays and making it more reliable 80 so the transformation feedback on areas of safety for people walking and taking transit eye as well as for the buses themselves the transit benefits in terms of the reliability and traffic time and feedback on the stop configuration with the traffic impacts the neighborhood and business impacts and the outreach that was part of our process and about the evaluation of the impacts so the feedback has been essentially that the transit changes are really working well, for transit and heard back from a lot of these folks at the same time we've heard the transformation traffic changes made it more difficult for people to get to and around the mission and we heard if businesses and others that it

was having a direct impact on them and we heard feedback that the project may have caused people to frequent mission street more and others less we've gotten a lot of these feedback and e-mails and social media and 311 and telephone person and similar themes to what we heard at the meeting to insure we're capturing as much and complete feedback as possible we'll do an additional round of surveying like before the project we shared with i together with input from neighbors and muni riders who's voices are heard less in the discussion and to better assess the impacts we've conduct a fourth round or round

in coordination to make sure we better understand what stent or how the businesses are being impacted ouch u obviously we don't want to negatively impact the transformation businesses if there are impacts that are negative what things to neglect that to how the businesses are impacted and not weaken the transformation project and not solve what is a real issue of impacts so we will continue to work and likeable bring something back this july meeting in terms of adjustments to the project as well as updates on other things we're doing such as working with office of economic workforce development i'll have more likely in the next meeting

on mission street i want to note that supervisor campos is hit hard on all sides of the issue and trying to bring the folks together and working with solutions and i want to acknowledge him we had a quick update it was pride weekend which for us city's transportation agency was a big deal the transformation sfmta worked seemingly to work with the transformation pride celebration and particular across if sustainable streets traffic folks and parking and enforcement to our communication folks to our revenues support folks really a tremendous cross agency effort working in collaboration with the transformation city and with the department of emergency services to make sure we have put it oh,

well it did we had a number of things the transformation tra transmarch friday night with the transformation giants game and critical mason saturday and other marches in the giants game and sunday the parade wrap up so a lot of strain on the system but john haley described that the transformation rail service was spectacular you noticed the transformation two car train the extra service for the transformation two events the transformation parade and the giants game on sunday we were able to clear the transformation ball park in thirty minutes that is phenomena working hard to make sure across the city so we're able to get around the transformation city customer service what great lots of inspectors and ambassadors and others working to help people get to where they're going and

we had no major problems to report no criminal imagination related to the event a great event by the transformation staff and by the rest of the city and the events participants and finally i wanted to announce give you an update. >> couple of updates that are none great but wanted first of all, as you may know we the city of san francisco had short listed as part of the united states department of transportation challenge grant of 80 cities we were part of finalists and submit an application for 40 plus $10 million grant we submitted the application at the end of may and last week we were

notified we're not the transformation winner columbia ohio was selected at the winner we certainly congratulate all the cities we objectly feel ours was the strongest but nevertheless, we wish them well good news from the tremendous effort by lots of folks in the organizations and others across the city there is a lot of that came out of that process that will in this case without the transformation grant we had a lot of great ideas think outside the box and great partnerships were developed what a formation of the city's partnership with the ufltz ucsf and a lot of engagement on the issues

thinking about how we can challenge the innovation 2, 3, 4 transportation in san francisco and ways that advance our policy goals so although we're stipulated disappointed we didn't within there recent we congratulate columbus and eager to see what we can learn but the momentum will continue and the immediate reactions from many of the partners in any case that's where that ended and whether or not relayed i also wanted to let you you know that tim who is the transformation leader of that effort and really accident a tremendous job of double or triple times job over the last month's to pull together the transformation team and pull that application together let me know on friday,

he is moving on and been with the transformation agency for quite a while and most recently as the chief moofgs officer he brought a unique perspective to the agency and pushed us in his role and planning roles and innovation role to embrace the best of the best practices i think he held helped to create best practices that are now being replicated across the country through other means he himself is seen as one thing the transformation leading gloshld transportation folks he's very much in damaged by organizations across the transformation world i think it is reflected well on the city and the mta

after his earlier career in los angeles so while we're very sorry to see him go he's moving on to exciting things we want to wish him well, i didn't have time to make the certificate we'll do but i wanted to take the transformation opportunity before he walked out the transformation door to thank him for many years of dedicated is service and the transformation city and ask him if he wants to come up and say a few words words. >> it is biter sweet to be up here and talk about a project we'll work on nixon next i'm leaving the transformation agency it was a hard decision to leave been an honor and privilege to serve the city the last 7 and a half years so it is

pretty amazing and looting the transformation mta and i was proud to be part of team it lead the efforts that started to change the transformation direction of the agency we should be pride we're one of the cities in the world to have a revised network design to complete street designs and vision zero and bicycle policies for all the things have been national best practices and some things the park i was not involved in but helped across the country there is a lot of good things what you haven't seen the internal things that helped reenergizes and helped the transformation agency on -

i think this is been a great tremendous effort. >> was talking about where i should tell you i am going i'm primgd we've been working over the last two years on integrating the transformation lines of transportation and integrating and the last indication over the next 5 years the transformation transportation challenges their immense and huge i've accepted a position probation officer have the role for the new google soft driving car project that's why i'm heidi building the future is autotion and get ahead of it i look forward to celebrating with you over the next month i leave at the end of next month to start my new contrary. >> thank you for your

asia transit efficiency and reliability the last thing hurt any of the businesses that will be important to gather some data and look at it what is going on along the corridor we we can do as agency city to help the transformation businesses the transformation mission is undergoing such change and hard for people to see what is happening in their neighborhood and is not want to be part of pine pain but the transformation progress and hearing and seeing how we can improve public school corridor. >> thank you for attending that meeting and director reiskin. >> thank you for i am i brought this up a couple months ago i heard from merchant and the concern you know when i look at the transformation transit first policy it talks about the purpose to help with the transformation people in commerce not just about the transformation bus again about the community and the

transformation reason we have the neighborhoods in the commercial corridors as a rider of that line i can say the improvements worked and people not making the transformation turns or not - i think f we can figure out those intersections it is harder to figure out those intersection i know some of the businesses said after the drop they've senile things come back and, of course, it it takes time behavior to adjust after the changes but look forward to the new improvements and offer my help. >> thank you director borden board members. >> director ramos. >> i appreciate all the transformation work i'm sorry, i couldn't be there i was out of town on a long time vacation i want to make sure that that

conversation keeps on going and - the transformation other things there was so much in that director's report it is crazy i was really disappointed to hear about the tragedies that occurred with the transformation loss of life with the people on bicycles and we know we'll talk about it later i want to make sure people understand this is part of reasons that advocates parking protected bike lanes in the future i then an example of how valuable those parking electricity bacon and eggs and the speed enforcement and cameras those are important but you know as someone who that is my neighborhood and ride my bicycle there any other cyclists out there i think we owe to

everybody to make sure that we explore every opportunity to offer the transformation maximum protection as possible on the streets i certainly hope we'll learn from this opportunity and consider as we go forward. >> thank you members of the public. >> none turned in a speaker card any anyone wish to comment. >> before we move on next i'd like the transformation members content we adjourn the transformation meeting in memory of carla johnson from the transformation mayor's office on disability and laparohe will a strong advocate so for paratransit that recently paratransit so the members content and send letters to the families. >> item 8 advisory report no report and item 9 public comment

transformation cars is educate and law enforcement have you ever see any boarding zone ask a driver to stop their car have you ever see message on the streetcar ask them to stop their car at the boarding zone and then see it so to me the sf municipal transportation agency can do a better job using the transformation i'd like to make the efficiency and save viral for riders. >> and hear my single voice-over thousands of people are signed a petition for the

residents and the businesses to want all the stops as tliflsz street and want you guys support that's it thank you. >> next speaker, please. >>. (calling names) >> good morning. >> good morning board here to speak about moving the transformation tech shuttle buses to golf street and make a public comment those buses are using their approve service they're used by a select few in the city and not using a public space that feels bad i'm skeptical of the claim those buses pull the cars off the road tech companies recruit and say you can live in san francisco and shuttle down there are people choosing to live in san francisco because those buses exist i believe that van ness is

a more appropriate street in the commercial but residential i'll suggest putting the buses on the new luxury high-rises they'll be using those buses the other comment the folks waiting in lines are closing the pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk we can walk outside our front door we have to navigate between people and mention i know that owning a car in san francisco who am i to criticize when i moved here i made 40 grand a year and bought a motorbike for 14 hundred bucks and people are using these and part of middle-income and protecting of san francisco the corner of golf and bush a young boy was killed last year and newcomers incidents cars crashed into the buildings on that

street and i'd like to nose when the buses are pulling up they clog the transformation traffic and see the cars are fluted and speed around the buses and makes me concerned over a intersection it is crowded already thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> morning. >> good morning how are you i'm here to speak about muni and muni's employees i have noticed that the transformation transportation is like when i'm standing up outside raven thirty or 40 minutes for a streetcar or bus you're busy broke down and need to get working buses for people on the street and also the transformation other i hear from resource i

can't reveal but muni employees are sick don't call in you have to have themselves call in too many buses out of service and waiting for a bus forever thanks. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> >> good morning good morning board my name is scott i live in the mission and i'm one of the riders of the commuter shuttles i'm here before you to basically firmer the transformation value of the shuttles and ask you to please create a stop to replace the stop that used to be at 18 and church so i am able to live without

owning a car because i'm able to ride those commuter shuttles and although i'd love to take public transportation it is really not practical for my commute is makes it about 50 percent longer almost 3 hours already and the commute is longer than recently because there's not been the to the at 18 eye church it is only - the transformation next closet was 24 and valencia that is twice as long as a walk and now moved to 26 and van ness to twaertsdz of a mile and a lot of people that take the transformation shuttle a drive i personally don't own a car i mentioned but think about whether i need to reconsider and

hope the transformation board b will please create a new stop at delores and delores park is a good option for me thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good morning. >> good morning board. >> so i'm also an employee of facebook and someone that used the transformation commuter shuttle i want to make a general comment my shuttle stop a not impacted i love living in san francisco and moved here recently and probably continue to do so even if the transformation shuttle are removed but makes my journey farther i ask you to think about the employees that value san francisco and who want to be part of the transformation

community and a lot of young people like me we choose not to drive cars not because we can't afford it i choose not to drive i'd like to live a car free lifestyle not a matter of wealth but better for the transformation city and environment thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> i'm a rider of commuter shuttle is it so an amazing resource for the past 4 years it enables me not to drive into the congested 101 and the caltrain if work for the length of the commute to get down to the companies in the peninsula that's why i think shifting to a hub model will force me not to

drive into work and coming up more spaces in the city already with the clipper card a lot of the coworkers are driving into work i'll consider whether i should get parking near my house and park and drive myself in and it is longer i know this is i was disappointed despite the transformation proposal for 18 and delores i understand the concerns around the airline streets but commuter shuttles are important by enabling people to be part of the community san francisco is not a city i intend to leave the transformation shuttle program makes it more confident not a tax on the road and allows the transformation board to focus on any other programs allowing the transformation companies to step in for public good i hope with

the continued evaluation to continue to priorize and given them the opportunity for people to live where they want and to make sure we focus on real transit priorities not served by other interests thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> the last person that turned in a speaker card to address the transformation board on matters not on the agenda. >> good morning. my name is a alex and fortunately the shutter by delores park was removed and the closest one on 26 like 8 blocks away we firmly believe that we feel - we have like two cars for all 3 people apartment and we were not driving to work

we had a shuttle stop we have two cars and find ourselves driving all the time i have to take cars and rectify parking on the streets we have one garage parking spot it is hard to maintain and greatly appreciate if you somehow keep the shuttles maybe on 18. >> anyone else care to address the transformation board. >> ms. bloomer. >> the transformation calendar, are considered to be routine and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests mr. chair i'm or i've not received and indication any members of the public worries about to sever an

>> >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> the i's have it. the consent calendar is approved. >> the item 1130 years the director to authorized the transit fair bos system with - to provide the revenue system a data collection and reporting computer aided dispatch integration and warrant for maintenance for not to exceed $30 million and a term not to exceed 16 years mr. chair there's no members of the public that wish to address you on this matter. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> members of the board and director reiskin i'm jason lee from the transformation technology division before we goat into the details of what the fair bos is i'd like to give you a little bit of background on the project and why it is needed currently

fareboxes on all the vehicles dating to 199112 years and at the end of their useful life their refurnished as recently as 2008 but not updated and the current vendor is no longer support of fair bos and out of far box they continue to do on bart cv m on the vendor machines in the subway stations we're extending the transformation fleet and no boxes reaching and our fair bos built on the 25 years technology don't provide a track individual action so some of the benefits of new fair bos include enhanced

reliability eye directing your attention and fair equipment - we are going to improve revenue security and tracking as i mentioned earlier and reduce the costs of operation and maintenance and newer equipment and perhaps most significantly we'll be replacing our existing transfers with ones issued from the transformation offices themselves i'll go into that in a little bit the fareboxes can accommodate future changes should the transformation board go in that direction and as i mentioned earlier be able to track the transformation analysis of how people pay with cash so here are the transformation

terms of the contract our contract is with s p x and people in the audience here the length of the contract is 5 years with the option to step up for 2 additional 5 year terms so we're looking at a total of 15 years to actually consider that one year might implement the system the cost for the bay system is approximately $22 million plus about $600,000 a year for prevent maintenance the total not to exceed $4 million over the 5 year term approximately 13 hundred fareboxes they'll go on all the vehicles except the transformation combrashs cable

cars there is other equipment through the transformation computers and software system and parts and the integration with our radio system and the timeline will go over is approximately, six months for the installation this is a diagram of what the fair bos will look like the transfer at the top there the color is white which our customers will be able to interact with and the bills can be snertsdz as well as the transformation bill slot this fair bos is assessable for the americans with disabilities act going to the - on the transformation left an image of the transfers

and that will transform into transfers that are issued from fair bos those whre box those w- there will be an expiration of 9 minutes and in the transformation late transfer policy and include the transformation security the transfers have no value except in the far box people will not be transferable and less transfer wait because we'll only print as noted this diagram here shows the revenue transfer and collection system that is used to transfer

revenues from the transformation f fare box to our - that cashbox is transferred to the orange reserveer that empties into the mobile valet and those revenues are transferred by arm truck to the collections. >> this interacts with a lot of stakeholders and with the transformation ouch program to the customers as well as to the internal staff will be affected by the fare box system as you can see the details of all the

different types of positions that be will be impacted as well as the transformation publpubli - we'll go to the board of supervisors it is $10 million and later this summary issue receipts to the vendor and complete the training of the our folks and then we'll start implementing at the pilot position that will make sure we workout the concerns and by spring we should have accepted this that's my presentation if you have any questions.

>> thank you, mr. lee. >> i have a quick question i appreciate all the author outreach i have a question and appreciate the note that the ada is wonderful and vested or vested with any people especially with the visual impairment sometimes - and then it didn't work i want to make sure that vesting is taking place. >> that's a great question we presented to mac so everyone has a change - >> accessibility advisory committee; is that correct. >> we presented to them probably about a month or two ago and had a chance to subcontract with the boxes. >> great. >> this is the change correct. >> the exact change.

>> you can't use krrdz. >> no. >> did you think about those at all. >> clrpz two want to looking at the technologies may include krrdz or ways of open payment systems that system itself is not have that. >> in the future it is set up with the technology to accommodate that. >> we're looking at that potentially the clipper system this fare box doesn't have this currently embedded if the fare box. >> but what will the new muni an. >> it is separate one of the issues where implementing krrdz is the latent fee time to verify the krrdz through the clipper program we're looting that 2. owe. >> how will the app interact.

>> the app is separate when you use the muni mobile app it is tied to our credit cards you'll see that the operators and inspectors see that someone has purchased a ticket to a muni mobility and that is completely individual this is another way to pay. >> i mean, i wish there was some way those two a, aligned so the driveway is not - >> the muni mobile app is primarily verified with the transit fair inspectors the people can flash it the verification is done by the inspectors. >> if i may mr. chair, i that that i want to make sure it is clear this driver the operators didn't do any enforcements;

right? with payment and so i think that what happens is if you're paying with a credit card to the directors want it is important that people know you can't do that and get the word out when you pay with a credit card you you know do it there the app and no interaction with the operators i want to make sure we have a policy or awareness at least that from my understanding not to the r not the operators job to enforce the proof of payment as needed or might be acquired through the mobile muni app; is that correct. >> what we've - been working to remove the operator from the traction one of the leading causes of assaults on operators are disputes of the fair transaction so the guidance that

is given to the operates is if someone is intraerg from the front door is didn't pay or show the mobile app or transfer or some other proof of payment the operators should engage with the consumer to reminded them they need to pay if the computer didn't this is a change in policy if the consumer doesn't the operator didn't pursue the issue the operators has enough to do their jobs that's why we have the inspectors and entered by 20 percent the number of inspectors and their equipped and trained to be able to deal with fair transaction and i know we hear from a lot of folks people get on without paying a lot of ways that people can pay without even without the clipper

card with the student passes and transfers a lot of people have clipper cards whether this is a pass or free muni or a policy they should tap a card they've paid so the last time we look at the fair compliance that jason led that was relatively low 7 percentage and 7. 9 percent so something we're concerned about but found more harm good than coming from the operators having to engage with folks so that's a long answer but continually insuring that people pay fair share but a stack of muni rides it sits up front of the operator is another cause of

assaults on operators so moving to this eliminates the transfer even though it - it is really a great thing not just for the system but for the operators in particular so operators safeties benefits are important here i do awhile i might commend jason and the folks he's working with under the leadership the chief walton and our chief financial officer as he said this project will touch a lot of folks the operators, the mechanics the fare box shop a lot of people had been impacted and a lot of work with a lot of fleet types those fare boxs have to spend a lot work in good clean procurement process to get us to the point this will make a difference for the riders and operators and for everyone else

that touches the fare box in muni. >> thank you jason. >> another point. >> another question i was going to ask i know we have a 90 minute window and the reasons people like getting the fairs the paper transfers the driver will be more generous than the muni policy i don't know if we looked at why we choose 90 minutes and not 2 hours i think that 49 from the mission to van ness and back is two hours your transfer wouldn't get quick so i don't know i'm not trying to open up the pandora's box for 90 minutes that is one of the concerns for people in the transfer. >> i don't know that that is something we've looked at recently but i do know we have one of the most generous transfer policies in the country

and a lot of systems don't offer transfers many that offer them like in new york not free unlimited rides for a period of time some are more restrictive and only one way and in a continuous route so something we can look at in the board desires it is true that they're generous tears in the transit system it will bring the transfer a reality in line with the current fair policy. >> director ramos. >> yeah. i had a quick question about the enter face with the customer or the passenger i should say on slide 5 under the fare box features wondering if we'll have any input on this design here i think it could

stand for improvements. >> yeah. this is diagram is just the standard model so if you have any particular suggestions. >> i think that the only people that care are the x p x jen fair being the first one people who are looking for a fare box revenue machines i don't know if there are a lot of people in san francisco it would be a good opportunity to make sure when you know particularly people riding from out find town we've had a lot of people what goes where and if you have a clipper cards you know this should be clear where the clipper card is tagged and if you're trying to speed a transfer it is clear you're not pushing your transfer where you'll get one out all of this this can be more intuitive than

it is i don't know the diagram can look more like a bill you you mention what i mean 2 need to be designed intuitive so that i know when i go to other cities eye experience the systems for the first time is it so overwhelming and takes time what am i supposed to do where and it is increasing worse if i don't speak the language and a lot of folks english as a second language so it is challenging it is important that has san francisco is diverse of a ridership we have that raise the bar how intuitive those machines are and so it can be readily available to anyone and understandable what media you

have to be able to - >> director ramos thank you for your feedback we'll be working with the communications group to put on decals on the fare box to do exactly what you're talking about this is just like the model for the fair it won't look like this. >> thank you. >> i'm curious is there a way to rewrite the software to change the transfer times depend on where the buses are located or what time of day. >> yes. that's a great examine director shoe it is to adopt to any fair policies that the board adopts for example, if you choose to modify the expiration from the minutes to two hours or policies bans times of day is this fare box will do that in

addition a reference to plugging two the cat our radio communication the cat l system if you have dispatch automatically to tell us which route a bus or train is on so we'll be able to know when someone puts in a fair what will be able to record an event with the location and time stamp so in the future if you decide that that different routed for different fairs box. >> thank you, mr. jason, i know that people will miss the paper transfers you'll tap into that many kids get tattoos.

>> our dwell time will not change they'll rip off the transfer but they'll push a button and it sounds like it will decrease that directing amount brought to your attention that the cash we spend $8 million i think what was number and perhaps bring that number down a bit. >> well, we have not - looking at a similar process in terms of our cash reserveers we're not - >> this is great i think that will be really good to update

and transition more people to clipper cards and they move that generous benefit we've had and i think this is going to be such a good opportunity for us to perhaps be the last board that spends money on fare box and take 5 or 6 years as the time in which we transition and start to wean people off the cash completely a timeline of 5 years to do that would be perfect it had you been fantastic i know the fewer fare box will be only a clipper tag or a proof of commitment maybe a medium term motion. >> that sounds like a motion. >> mr. chairman none turned in

a speaker card. >> anyone wish to comment sienna emotion and second seeing none, the i's have it. >> presentation discussing the regarding the transportation 2030 task force directors no numbers of the public have an interest in addressing you on this matter. >> glad someone has director reiskin. >> yes. >> 3 minutes. >> i failed to turn in any speaker cards. >> director. >> good morning board members want to take the opportunity to give you an update on the transportation 2030 process and in particular because we hope there to be things moving to the

ballot this november and the decisions in the coming weeks in this building want to make sure your counter with all that is happening so just to remind you the transportation task force was convened by mayor ed lee back in 2013 it was 50 folks from around the city business from labor to community groups and advocates to develop a road map what the mayor say was this was an area of city policy area we've not paid attention he pulled forked to get our arms around what we need to do invest in infrastructure and meet days and future needs the task force made

a recommendation to refresh you're asking for memory i'll walk through this is a snapshot this is just folks know fairly broad-based groups groups that participated and others following the task force work so i'll say the universe of folks focusing on the transportation in the city and additional effort that was great so obviously the champ that we faced back in 2013 not different than at challenge today although we've made great progress but from conditions on our streets to the stress on the transit system to the safety issues we talk about at every meeting the challenge it there in terms of more difficult to reliable and get around the city

so that was the context the finding of the task force were that the infrastructure that we have today and the condition it is in is not going to be accurate to meet today's let alone future needs as a result the task force development recommendation and all the finding sounds like but from anecdotal to analytical we brought this data a lot of information conditions of our systems not just ours but bart and caltrain and others and information about the conditions of the streets so that folks can think this not we need to do something but have particular needs and how best to aid them so these railroad the 3

recommendations that the first to invest in programs that really have the best bank for the buck in terms of improving the transportation system specific recommendation regarding revenues to pursue locally to meet the needs and recognizing we can't meet all the needs but continue to get the federal and state dollars to compliment the investments locally so with regard to the first recommendation while the folks on the task force understood as we do today a lot of growth into the city i think what the education that was provided the dictated that was provided pointed to say that the state of current infrastructure that is maintained and responsible for the underlying current system on the streets and muni and others providers that has a pretty

significant deficit in terms of itself in the state of good repair so we can continue to move today's riders and today's traffic so the task force recommended really focusing on this core of transportation system and enhancements to it with any new revenue we generated and at the bottom permitted generating close to $33 million with the revenue focused on the core and enhancements that gets the core transportation system and the enhancements that we identified between 2/3rd's eyes 3 are krortsdz with $3 billion and would start chipping away at what we need to do for the future of the transportations system but leaving that quite a bit further on funding so what the task force identified was $10 billion worth of needs over the 15 years

period what under $44 billion to meet that need leaving the gap of $6 billion the task force recommended $3 billion with the balance to be compromised with regional and federal revenues place of entertainment specifically they recommended $500 million go bond that is substantially the following year brought to the ballot in november of 2014 you mean was proved we the voter and end up not recommended by the task force but came along a adjustment to the way the bottom line is a calculated to account for population growth that was established to be retroactive for the population growth over the 10 years or so that brought in between 25 and $30 million annually as well

so those funds prop a and prop b from 2014 are what we invest if and are possible because of those funds what the task force recommended were 3 additional revenues measures and additional half cents sales tax for transportation a restoration of the fee that was less thaned during the schwarzenegger and the sgrond in 2020. >> the voters made the changes to the set aside and last year late last year the mta board and the board of supervisors approved the transportation sustainability fee that brought residential development and essentially go

significantly increased the amount of revenue dedicated to transportation infrastructure that capitalized from new development that is happening and increased by more than 60 percent over the old transit development fee that was itch more narrowly focused so with those additional funds this is a lot more we've been to chip away at the deficit that the task force identified the prop a the goading go bond was organized and focusing on the reliability of street safety the blue on the chart shows the first issuance of the bonds that was done last year and from that some of the projects that i've talked about today that you've approved over

the last year and including some have gone into the ground are market-rate on the streets in terms of physical improvements on the streets to reduce the relays and increase muni and more buses we're enjoying and the funding for caltrain improvements additional benefits that have been national guard are launching the transit routes and frequency on 34 and allowing the next year's budget to continue the free muni programs as well as implementation of the muni depict strategies as you recall the recommendations of new equity strategy that seeks to address inqualities in transit service to protecting neighborhood were compromised in

our budget in part because of the additional funds from the funding sources and then the other side of the transit investment the investment in safe streets much of what you've talked about earlier is enabled by the revenue sources including some of the things that are in the ground like bike spot improvements safety improvements and schools and a lot of what we call a quick stave save and quick manufactured around town the obstacles and other changes part of that 13 mental illness a year vision zero much of it will be funded by the measures those dollars the voters approved and the board of supervisors are going to the ground to make 9 transportation more reliable as you may know we completed the

first 24 projects in 24 years i've mentioned the 57 in process and the 13 miles enabled by the revenues that or i think successful at the ballot because of the task force that was thoughtful and analytic progress that helped to identify the needs we'll continue that work with the bond dollars we have we'll be investing in some of the enhancing some of the muni those are focus on the highest ridership and continuing to insult new and updated traffic signals with the audible and pedestrian count down that is part of the vision zero efforts prop b which is the agenugmentan

will offer haul the buses and bond fund can't be used on vehicles this prop b is helpful in getting more update in existing vehicles and standing the paratransit fleet in the capital budget and rehabilitating escalators so that was the second recommendation that was the new revenues in terms of third one there have been indigents we had mtc participating in the task force and the commitment we got from mtc was basically that san francisco voters are willing to step forward and go into their pockets for the transportation the region will try to match a portion of that investment to a right around the time when the task force recommendations

caught the mtc developed a fraction for state cap & trade fund before that program had developed but identified san francisco and muni in particular as a potential recipient once the program calmed we applied for with the region and secured $41 million towards our light rail vehicles and new light rail vehicles and recently applied for another $56 million so seeking close to $2 million for state cap & trade with the support of san francisco voters that step forward and showed we're billing e willing to do our part cap & trade is shaky in recent months, we're still confident that the investment we're making will help us leverage the dollars with the states cap & trade dollars we've

been supporting efforts by bart you know 3. 5 go bond we've worked with them and as well as the federal transit administration capacity grant application by caltrain as part of funding to fund caltrain electrification the city is a contributor the fast act the federal bill was approved since the task force met and stabilized it over a long-term we're continuing to support the regional and state and federal efforts because we won't be able to do this within san francisco even with a bold plan and the measures so finally that brings us to 2016 and there are two measures that have been introduced that would help follow the

recommendations of the transportation task force one is a twaerdz cent sales tax that raise one and $50 million of general fund revenues for the city the second a charter amendment introduced that would allocate new general fund revenues to areas one hundred million dollars of transportation and $50 million to homeless services as introduced the transportation dollars would be allocated as shown on the slide and fund the paving program as well as muni and safety and regional transit efforts so much of this was informed by the work of task force some of this is changing as negotiations tennessee various parties and stakeholders but it was i'd like a good

consensus within the mayor's office and say difference groups of board of supervisors and other stakeholders to get to what was introduced has been continued go discussions between various parties to tweak the proposal this charter mainstream will be and rules committee this thursday the 34ur had been at the budget and finance and come together at the full board as xhaepd the budget and other things for the november ballot this was coming there's a lot of things out of the task force process i thought that is a good time to give you an update i believe the transportation authority is getting an update on this day and going through the board of supervisors process that's the end of that presentation i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i do want to acknowledge if i get one more moment we - yeah

start of timer now joined at the agency by carolyn we brought over from the metropolitan transportation brought up the work on the long term transportation planning and newcomers things we were doing at the agency over the last year or so and was really the agencies lead and lead point of contact working with the mayor's office and the supervise offices and the transportation authority and planning department, public works and others to get to this point and really her good work get us to the consensus and got us close today to seeing this recommendation from the task force make it to the ballot she recently informed us she's returning to the east bay to work closer to home and working

on transportation issues we're sorry to see her go but thanks her for the interpretation work in a short-term a tremendous amount of work and the establishing herself as a knowledgeable sf team she's here i don't know if she wants it say anything but personally thank her for her efforts now i left my heart in san francisco >> thank you for your report opens the very last page the transportation - >> there's a number of things that could fall into that bucket muni forward so some of the physical changes on the center that are enhancing muni services falls into the option obstruct and things that bart are doing

to enhance their system can fall into that bucket the regional budget is to fund the bart that the counties share on bart's new railcars but used so for other regional efforts like the caltrain and ferries by the way, the option - to explore the other funds. >> how in terms of muni forward what did that mean what did it look like. >> so the - because that pot is potentially uses by multiple provides like with others transportation authority governing funds at the beginning of the fiscal year they would

create the programs say there are $10 million available this year for within the transit expansion or optimization - for that process to knot with other needs with the transportation commission transportation transportation authority commission and their funding so administer to prop k. >> i was having a hard time like the van ness corridor brt is that specific that opens the door to talk about the changes we've done on that. >> well the van ness projects that have been approved like the van ness project that have their viral clearance are approves people can talk about them but

the decisions with made the designs are final and bringing two construction contracts many of our projects that are approved at that board have funding that 0 flows that the transportation authority so wounded change anything they can ask questions about the project their funding but generally working with the board office as projects are brought here i don't see any fundamental change there instead of the money coming directly to us they'll be a grant process we'll assess those funds. >> the mission project we talked about this morning. >> again i don't think that will fundamentally change we sometimes have prop k funding with some of the projects but, yeah it is more a process if the monies are coming directly to you whether or not we're using

prop k or ftes funds but go through the partners and that would joy category of funds be would be going through that funding partner process as well. >> funding process thank you very much directors. >> thank you, tom got to the question i had as well as the administration of the funds i think i see that we know that worked with prop k and the sales funds and it is similar to that; correct? it will be a similar - >> a similar handing of the money in the awarding of the people money. >> we're continuing to work with the transportation authority to make those processes important fetish so maybe opportunities here in that they don't have this charter amendment and not the

opportunities to streamline we'll continue to work in partnering with the transportation authority to make sure that process is not standing in the way of our delivering improvements to people on the streets. >> thank you, no it looks fabulous i appreciate the update we've been getting questions it that will be on the november ballot so this helps answer that question thank you. >> members of the board. >> ms. bloomer. >> none has turned in a speaker card and none moving forward. >> thank you director reiskin and appreciate that. >> all right. directors item 13 vote to invoke the attorney/client privilege. >> a motion. >> yes. a motion. >> second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> the i's have it. we'll go into closed session. >> session.

everyone is safe in our city has a proud history of inclusiveness and leading the fight against hiv and ada we've congresswoman come a long way since the dark days of aids country's we're getting closer to this because of the people in the room we've got closer to zero thank you to europe of you for all our participation your input, your gowns and leadership >> (clapping.) >> yeah. as you may know san francisco's aiming become the first city to get to zero this means zero new hiv enacts and zero death from hiv and zero stigma and discriminates we're on the right

track last year fewer than 200 infections we'll going get closer and closer advertised go we can do better i'll consist we focus on preservation getting people the care immediately slopt and making sure they're in treatment and have many, many strength to build only one of the strengths i've that and always say that a strong community participation we owe much of our second, second to the practices of that diverse is community to tell the truth and listening to the community and collaborating for progress this is the only way to get to zero we want to commend permanent thank all the members of the hiv planning council for their hard work and their continued work say commitment in the future

your participation in the two predecessor counsels that have shaped noble how our city cares forces those living with hiv and aid but presenting new infections that's a long road for the merging of the councils together thank you director gary's and the public health department on this front is it so exist as one of the first of its kind in the nation the council will take on a unit front on accident fight against ada hiv thank you >> (clapping.) >> your work will allow san francisco to better coordinate and strengthen our history infrastructure to do planning for the continuum from preservation to wrap around

services in council can help us going get to zero and end sdriems we know i think we can make an impact about the discussion that or on blood that's the real stigma in our in addition, we have prioritized fidget against hiv and aids my budget has back filled because of our supervisors hero today supervisor wiener and, of course, supervisor campos and others we had to backfill the unfortunate back cuts from the federal government since nevada no matter what the challenge we did it. >> (clapping.) >> and we remain committed to providing comprehensive care and focus on care - on the

preservation side kept is a preservation strategy san francisco started in 2010 our prep income tax program connects people to the resources and there are new now 6 thousand people on the prep in san francisco and i'd like to thank supervisor wiener for his leadership in making prep widely available and informed. >> (clapping.) >> >> so today in addition to swearing in our 0 planning council we want to narrow we're launching the new prep campaign for an uptick of prevention of history let me innovative bearing and supervisor wiener 0 say a few few words about prep. >> (clapping.) >> thank you mr. mayor i'm

very proud to serve for mayor ed lee he's had every time the budget the first question what are redoing around the hiv dollars so take note of his leadership. >> (clapping.) >> and strong support but i want to make sure we acknowledge the charitable incidents against. >> latino and lgbt community especially the that concludes my report. renals and the other communities we'll hear more and more community the resolve and the currently you've seen from latino and latino lgbt community is incredible and i'm so proud of resolve and the responses and you think many times government loaders

and other leaders we forgot the strength of people of color the fortitude we have as native and immigrant community so it is this strength we should count on and look to when they are thinking about our services new opportunity and medications like preparing that can survive i've been arena long enough to watch the urban pounceable names and new names of medications and many campaigns for hiv and aids that have satisfied so many lives in the past as for those new sxiefk games what is important at times what is more important how we tried treat our community of color and respect them and this honor will get us

to zero transition and death and stigma i want to acknowledge all our dpw employees that do the work for us i can't do this alone i want to acknowledge folks can you stand for a second. >> (clapping.) >> we have researchers standing, department of human resources standing and activists standing they've been the construction of our department but today, i want to honor our leaders on the hiv planning council it has seen me come to those meetings mid-market some days we disagree but many times agree but your role is announced by federal, state, and local government and i'm proud you have found a way to come

together i ask is that mayor four or five years ago is it takes time to come together i'm proud of you so i want to thank you, very much. thank you. >> (clapping.) >> i'm also proud today to announce that starting today, we'll see a new prep campaign that will celebrate prep as a way to reduce the risk of hiv by more than 90 terrace to working closely to make sure we eliminate contribution and remember the stigma is the code word for description and homophobia so thank you, thank you and thank you. >> (clapping.) >> help us get to zero thank you so much thank you. >> (clapping.) >> thank you

barbara for really those moving words about orlando i think for a lot of us we woke up and saw those headlines it was like just an absolute punch to the gut to i think we can all remember for those who don't go out as much what it means to be in a gay bar or number those are our community sacrifices and ways that it is not outside of lgbt community for generations of our community members those are at times the only places where you can guess and be who you are and build community and in fact as we're hearing from the extraordinarily hearing stories about the people that were

killed in the club and their family members not knowing they were lgbt our lgbt night life no one's in 2016 to play that community building and community strengthening role and have that scared space stloiltd this go unbelievably horrible massacre is a violation i can't articulate and i think that we owe it to the people that were killed and the people injured to the family families the influence that we should continue to fight to end violation or violence with what is happening every single day and commit to that in terms of the matter at hand i want to thank the mayor for his continued support of the people living with history and people

at risked for the advisory we took office the same month we were hit with the first federal ryan white and the mayor didn't blink my colleagues didn't bring we continued year after year to really backfill the failure of the federal government >> (clapping.) >> and you know, i came of age as a gay man in 1987 when we were living in the era of fear an association of death and sickness with sex when we didn't no effective treatment the terror of getting tested to wait two weeks will i be positive or dead in a few months and going through that and generations of

lgbt people you know having that trauma and the progress we've made over the years is incredible and this cause of san francisco the because of our community-based organizations our community advocates this city as time and g time again set the standards created the template and nooshd and the rest of the country and world has followed we need to continue to do that and we are continuing to do that with our getting to zero effort i've been proud to work with the department on the getting to zero and again, a template that others replicate and those infections to make sure that people living with the advisor are healthy and eliminating them and ii know we'll be successful

about a year and a half ago in december of 2014 i announced that i am on preparing that was it was a little bit scary i want to thank the san francisco aids foundation and uflg for helping me through that process it was a positive response i think that people fundamentally get it we have a tool that so dramatically reduces the risk of infection we need to promote and invest and make sure that people can assess no matter how wealthy i didn't or poor and should have insurance access to powerful prevention tool one our consultant communities are are voices including loud voices

that are trying stigma its prep and we have to continue to push back and make sure that the word is out there this matters and will safe lives thank you to everyone and let's keep on fighting to i understand hiv infections. >> (clapping.) >> thank you, supervisor and let me say again, all of you who are i'm about the to swear in letting me give a personal thank you this is not easy work i know that when our faced with the need to change people's behavior when our faced with discriminates with stigma when our trying to get informed about the facts it is not easy to do all of that in the faced of things that are going on that sometimes we don't have control over i want to first thank

everyone that is stepping up to be on the hiv council without you, we couldn't find a way to get to zero on infections and prevent this deadly disease from increasing the disaster reduce effect please they're your jobs seriously and also live proudly talk to people continue giving them the encouragement that they need to have in order to do the right thing to save their own lives or their friends or families lives with that, if i can ask all the members of hiv planning council to please stand up and raise your hand and yell your names out i

of these further delicate what it say we, build in san francisco the other things i nodded last week i'll repeat this general plan helps us conform certain board of supervisors we have granted in the name of affordable housing you mean and pier 70 that was approved to increase the height for more affordable housing so colleagues again, i will encourage you to adopt this general plan today not a rezoning of the city as the planning department director stated last week, i hope you'll support me. >> thank you supervisor tang supervisor peskin. >> thank you madam president i rise to once again express my concern over the general plan amendment that is before us in the subject of this item which as i've stated at the previous

members of the committee i believe was constructed in a much too broad fashion vote down the general plan i understand the planning commission will meet this thursday to make findings on items 17 which is not called i'd like to acknowledge and appreciate the amendments that supervisor tang has made to that item that notwithstanding i believe that we should have a narrowly twarltd general plan not giving the department vast power to subject to future zoning rezoning parts of city that will urge a no vote on this item. >> thank you supervisor peskin supervisor wiener. >> thank you the president of the information is item 15 is rejected is item

17 mute or discussed and vote on item 17. >> mr. gibner. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney. you can still discuss item 17 if item 15 fails but the board cannot pass item 17 until the planning commission either recommends a new amendment to the general plan or makes iventhd this 17 is consistent with the continuing it or send it back to committee. >> i'll speak to this item 15 but item 17 maybe mute but i support item 15 as the general plan amendment and thank you supervisor tang for her leadership on this issue it is not often in at least san francisco history that a wedding's supervisor has

stepped up in a mooeveng way to foster legislation that will significantly move the dial in terms of housing production in san francisco and production of affordable housing at no cost to the taxpayers so this is a big step forward i want to thank supervisor tang and she's taken a lot of shrinks and arrows around this a fair amount of misinformation and supervisor tang has listened and made good a amendments including prohibiting demolition of existing housing which is a southern for a lot of us including supervisor tang she corrected this that's a good thing not demolishing existing housing i know there are you know a lot of different views about this legislation but at

some point we either acknowledge we need more housing of all types of including affordable housing or we don't we can sit here and have a lot of condemnation and protests and be upset that the average rent if san francisco is $3,500 a month or do something about this program not a global solution but the same thing is a significant piece of paper the affordable housing bonus plan will allow us to create sixth more housing in a way that is spread out not concentrated in a few areas in a way that will create significant thousands and thousands of units of below-market-rate housing at no cost to the taxpayer this is a good step we should take it and with respect to item

17 which will be called but caught up in female 15 supervisor tang shows what she brings to the board 100 percent housing to make it easier to build 100 percent affordable housing to have a plot of land we're building affordable housing we'll let you go heroin higher to take advantage to build more affordable housing we should be passing this this is unfortunate there is so much opposition but at some point we have to decide are we upset about the cost of housing or do something about if it we do something about this is important step for us to take we should take it. >> thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor mar thank you. i wanted to echo some of the points by supervisor peskin but i want to thank commissioner chung for bringing

this forward for supporting the 100 percent part of affordable housing bonus program but the density done right that supervisor peskin and and a coalition of housing organizations but thank you to emery rogers for calendaring this item i think this is critical that we're close to finding a measure we can have anonymous support i don't want to see a divided vote i'll urge the continuous until july 12th toe give two weeks to work out the issues 0 is united but thank you. the mayor's office of housing and others to try to intervene we move forward together i don't think a motion was made but i'd like to see more time to find the unit between the 100 percent affordable housing thank you supervisor tang

question there are no thoroughly to supervisor mar are you talking about the general plan amendment or item 17. >> item 15 to continue the general plan amendment until you're next meeting july 12th. >> i mean for full disclosure a 90 day clock tick if we don't take action it is deemed approves unions my colleague will be okay with that, i would be. >> supervisor tang are you finished. >> supervisor peskin. >> if i may through the president to supervisor mar suggest there are a couple of pathways this could go down and quite frankly if the general plan amendment were changed to reflect the subject and the policy and item 17 i'd be fine but commissioner chung said it is an up and down voted we can't

under the charter make the amendments i have language i can amend it but don't have this power so the planning commission can make consistency finding on their agenda for this thursday in the absence of our voting this particular amendment down it will become law by operation of law on july 6th thank you. >> thank you supervisor peskin seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk on item 15 call the roll. >> on item 15 supervisor campos no supervisor cowen supervisor farrell supervisor kim no. >> supervisor mar no supervisor peskin no supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee no

calendared on the planning commission this thursday the planning commission make consistency for the affordable housing bonus plan 100 percent program with our existing general plan the only portion that is techno in conformation with the general plan is the northeast waterfront area plan south of central line of broadway so to insure this is really a technical change here to remove that portion from our affordable housing bonus program 100 percent program we have to make that amendment today which is passed out and then secondly, i would say that you know even though there is potentially passed forward given the planning commission can make a direction on thursday at this commission i want to emphasize how important for us to pass item 17 out before we

enter legislative recess as mayor's office of housing mentioned last week i'll ask they come up with some of the updated numbers there are affordable housing projects in the pipeline which if we were able to use our local density bonus program could yield but many units of affordable housing and chart to demonstrate it i'd like to ask kate hartley from the mayor's office of housing to go over this information with us. >> good afternoon, supervisors kate hartley mayor's office of housing you see before you a chart this shows the current zoning and approximate number of additional units that could be yielded with a density bonus program we talked about last

week numbers that would be finally determined if we have descended bonus tool in the outreach that the mayor's office of housing always requires for partners with the community with shareholders to make sure that the buildings that we finance are sponsored are done in a collaborative way that reflect the context and the neighborhood character and also meets the needs of low income people that spelling need affordable housing we strive to highest would the between building as many units as we possibly can and building high quality buildings with great architecture design so the units that you see - the building before you are immediate projects in the pipeline are the density bonus program they'll yield 200 additional units those are two

hundreds spelling needed units and on a project by project basis we again will be working with the community and stakeholders to get the right unit count but the affordable housing bonus plan is an important tool that will help us do our job. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you and then you'll see from the chart here as well in our legislation passes before recess there are 3 projects in the pipeline where an entitlement decision has been rendered and will be fall of 2016 that adds all the way down one and 8 units you using the density bonus program in the winter potential another 16 additional units added and in the spring an additional 35 colleagues, i ask we adopt this amendment to repeat it is to remove the

northeast waterfront area plan south of the central broadway and as amended continue item 17 until our july 12th board of supervisors meeting. >> okay supervisor tang has made another motion to amend is there a second? on her amendment >> seconded by supervisor farrell so on the amendment madam clerk can we call the roll. >> on the amendment to item 17. >> supervisor campos supervisor cowen supervisor farrell supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed there are 11 i's.

today. >> supervisor campos thank you madam president i have to say this is one of those issues that it is not an easy one in terms of where this is and one of the questions that i have because i want to make sure that there is also a differs to the city attorney is if open toe a continuous clearly circumstances have changed but arguments to be made to make sure the city do the right thing not only by the peplaintiff -

someone that has a passed didn't mean we still don't have an obligation to do the right thing in that spirit to give both sides an opportunity to have further discussions that i'd like to make a motion to continue this item i don't know what the appropriate amount of time will be - >> supervisor campos if you don't mind before we then this particular item i want to be clear a number of things we've talked about in closed session that unfortunately, we will not be able to talk about today in the chamber i definitely think a continuance is in order and every single one of you to connect with the city attorney

to understand what transpired and the committee made this recommendation with that, or avalos before we allow you to make your motion i will allow supervisor cowen to make comments. >> thank you madam president i guess somewhat answered my question during any time i sat on the gao in closed session this matter was dealt with in closed session to significant data the information we're not privy good supervisor wiener that came out with a strong in support of this or i guess and i a pay out of the settlement i'm curious to know what you know that i don't know and why you're you know going to go against the recommendation of the committee members. >> supervisor wiener. >> i don't know that i know anything that you don't know this gentleman between the time

of settlement and presentation of the board passed away and so that you know alternates from a legal perspective in terms of the facts of the case and - but i just to me the settlement was agreed to and not binding until this board approvals it but prepared to support the gentleman i don't know any facts i doubt i know any facts as you supervisor cowen. >> i'm happy to support the continuance. >> supervisor peskin if i may to supervisor campos at a friendly amendment we sleld a closed session of full board to collectively hear amongst this body what we will discuss and hear in closed session at the gao. >> i'll definitely support that supervisor campos. >> thank you madam president so colleagues my motion will be

to continue this item to the meeting of july 12th with an understanding that prior to a vote at that meeting a closed session held to have a closed session discussion and without really - that's a motion - without delving into the specification i think where i'll sort say i. i actually agree with supervisor wiener has a general rule that once the settlement is done that even if there are different circumstances you want to generally support the settlement but out of different republicans to the - my hope between the time this comes back to the board an argument between the parties we can all support so with that, i make the motion to continue to july 12th.

>> with a scheduled closed session on the matter at the full board seconded by supervisor wiener and before we approve that stuns i want to express to my colleagues supervisor peskin and he and i sits on g a organization with differences of opinion and passed this out amounting comedy and there is definitely a reason brown behind that we'll discuss in closed session. >> supervisor wiener an additional commitment comment. >> i'm happy to support it in closed session additional millionaire parties can workout something i'll support that you know, i think - i wrote the settlement and recommended 9 board of supervisors approve the settlement tort related claim i know is a d
